I'm basically posting to say kiss my #$%.
I'm happy you shoot benchrest. Have fun doing so.
If I had a rifle that was only capable of 1 MOA, it'd go in the cheap sheet-metal safe with the surplus stuff...
1 moa at 1000 yds (which is a USMC snipers qualification distance) Equals being able to hit an 11" ring. Last time I looked, the vitals of a human is bigger than 11". 1 moa is all an M40 is required to hold to be serviceable. If you would chuck it in the sheet metal pile... well you would go to war without a gun.
Plus you know what??? I won't shoot with you for money, but I will go against you in a sniper contest any time you please. About 1/100 of being a sniper is understanding the round and pulling the trigger consistently. Mind you we don't have the "250 yd line", or LRFs. We actually need to know how to use the mil reticle to range find and make a 1st round shot, along with knowing how to stalk, knowing many other things that pertain to infantry also (radio, basic reporting, CFF, CAS, controlling the UAVS, etc.), not sleeping for 3 days, laying in your own piss and S*%t, knowing how to not be comprimised, that sort of stuff.
But for every one of those, you're gonna find a bunch who are of the "hold the thing and keep cranking that finger until you run out of bursts" school of thinking...
I'm telling you flat out you are wrong. Maybe you were in the service, I don't know. I do know you weren't in war with infantry Marines in my company. Everyone in my squad, save for 2, were very reliable and very capable marksmen. BTW, It's easy to shoot at paper when you aren't getting shoot at -CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED-. You try hearing an AK burst fly by you (BTW bullets don't go "zing") and shooting at the muzzle flash.
1 moa is lethal at 1000 yds. A boresnake will not turn a .5 moa rifle into a 1 moa rifle in 5 passes or 500 passes. If you care so much about a bench competition that you slander the men that go and get shot at daily to make yourself feel good, then you can kiss my arse.
BTW, I changed my mind. I will shoot with you for money if we get to double down on fighting.

WILMINGTON — After being charged with six felonies by a Wake County grand jury state Rep. Thomas Wright has lost the support of the New Hanover County Democratic party.
Tuesday the local party asked Wright to step down. Since the investigation started the governor and a number of state officials have called for Mr. Wright to give up his state representative seat. But it wasn't until the indictments came down that the local democratic party followed suit.
Wright, an eight-term state representative, had his campaign suspended by the Board of Elections in September. The party says this decision to ask Wright to step down would allow Wright to focus solely on his legal matters while it finds a candidate who can best serve the people in Pender and New Hanover Counties.
New Hanover County Democratic party Chair Jim Morgan said, "Given the seriousness of the indictments and the fact that the Board of Elections had suspended his campaign, we have come to the conclusion that it would be in Mr. Wright's best interest as well as the best interest of his constituents that he step down to focus on his defense and allow the democratic party to find a replacement."
Morgan says the local party has informed Wright that they want him to give up his seat. Morgan said Wright says he won't resign from his office, and the local party doesn't have the authority to force his resignation.
Speaker of the House Joe Hackney announced Tuesday afternoon that the House ethics committee will now resume its investigation of Wright.
The committee put its work on hold while the district attorney conducted its criminal investigation.
Hackney says he'll call a special session of the House if the findings warrant the House could expel Wright.

Squirtle's Bubble
Can you confirm that Squirtle's attack in EP112 was Bubble in the Japanese version? I'd check it myself, but I can't find the episode in Japanese.--電禅Den Zen 12:51, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

How come you didn't know it was a dub edit when you removed this?

Bulbapedia's Userspace policy restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our mainspace more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --Lady Ariel 23:14, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Ash's Pokémon
Stop changing the current location of Ash's Pokémon, he still rotates them. In BW116 he had Boldore, and he has Krookodile in the ending.--電禅Den Zen 12:23, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

text: California Horse Racing Board commissioners Alan Landsburg and John Harris were appointed to form an ad hoc committee to examine efforts in the state to market horseracing. CHRB chairman Roger Licht approved the idea at Landsburg's suggestion during the closing moments of the board's meeting June 26 in Pleasanton, Calif. Landsburg, who said he would update the full board on the committee's progress at next month's CHRB meeting, said he has a "continuing concern about the way we market our sport." The commissioner drew a laugh from those in attendance when he noted, "We never have a (CHRB) meeting when somebody doesn't mention that we have too much gray hair and not enough body-pierced people in our audience." After the meeting, Landsburg said he'd like to form a committee consisting of people primarily from outside the racing industry to perform an objective analysis of current marketing efforts and make recommendations to the board for better methods. "We're spending $8 million a year on marketing and I'm not sure it has any impact," he said. The California Marketing Committee oversees the state's racing publicity program with money authorized by the state legislature from horsemen's purses and track commissions. Elsewhere, the board, by a 3-3 vote, rejected a proposed new bet, called either "Beat the Favorite" or "Beat the Odds." Racing author James Quinn, who sponsored the proposal, said the somewhat complicated $1 wager had the potential to produce $100,000 daily payoffs and predicted it could become a favorite of the betting public and a marketing tool. The wager would require a bettor to pick at least three races on a full card in which the favorite would be defeated and would earn points equivalent to the $2 pari-mutuel payoff if the bettor had the number of the correct winner. A winning favorite in a selected race, however, makes the entire wager a loser. The idea was supported by the tracks. However, Licht, Landsberg and commissioner John Sperry voted thumbs down. Commissioner William Bianco did not attend the meeting. Licht said there were too many exotic wagers on the books that take money out of wagering circulation. "I think too many people leave the track broke today and that's one of our biggest problems," he said. "I don't think we need any more exotics." In other action, Dave Payton, western sales manager for Autotote, told the board that the "alternate runner" option for Pick 6 wagers could be restored to California in time for the fall Oak Tree meeting, which is host to this year's World Thoroughbred Championships. The alternate runner option, which allows bettors to substitute a horse in Pick 6 legs in the event of a scratch, was suspended after the Breeders' Cup Pick 6 scandal last year to accommodate changes in programming of tickets to prevent a repeat of what happened in 2002. "It looks like we will be able to get everything in place on target for the Oak Tree opening," Payton said. That meeting begins Sept. 28. Licht reported that the CHRB's "ongoing backstretch investigation" of suspicious form reversals is continuing and thanked the major racing associations and others who have helped the review "to make a level playing field out there." The board authorized expenditures of $1,629,500 in fiscal year 2003-04 for stewards' services and $461,000 for official veterinarian services. For the next three years, it authorized nearly $3 million for service contracts, including $1,757,400 to the University of California at Davis for complementary drug testing and $114,000 to the school for postmortem services.

I believe most of the features mentioned by Superboyac and others are added to <Power Favorites> now. Please just list your requests if you need some new features to rock with your bookmarks .
I also use powermarks but the since upgrading to IE v7.0.5730.13 I cant seem to get the powermarks toolbar to show I have tried reinstalling powermarks but no joy. I have tried Power Favourites but find the lack of a last visited column restrictiveAlso the lack of time added in the Add date columnmiTaggedMarks imported the times visited strait from powermarks Power Favourites didn'tI also find the lack of the rating column annoying Powermarks is the benchmark for any program I am looking for, no bells and whistles just a program that does its job I have tried linkman pro and once I got rid of the bits I didn't want on screen found it really goodagain though it did not import the visited numbers from powermarksWhat I do like about it is from the linkman tool bar in IE7 I can add URLs easily but I can also type into the search as you type box and as you type it shows the results in a box next to it so more that not I do not even need to open the linkman main screen for most of my searching.If I do need to I can use a hotkey or just open the main screen from the toolbarI would like to get the toolbar for powermarks working but if not so far for me linkman pro comes next then Power FavouritesAs others have said Power Favourites is getting there it just needs to copy all the features that make powermarks so good ( more customisation etc ) and then it could be a winner
Patteo - THANKS After your reply I had another go at reinstalling powermarksI used End It All to close down everything but the system I then used Revo uninstaller to uninstall and clean the registryI then did a clean installAND IT WORKED I now realise again how good it actually is - It just worksThanks Patteo I thought I had lost it Eno
Which cleaner do you use if I may ask,
I have tried Power Favourites but find the lack of a last visited column restrictiveAlso the lack of time added in the Add date columnmiTaggedMarks imported the times visited strait from powermarks Power Favourites didn'tI also find the lack of the rating column annoying
For everyone interested in a Powermarks replacement, Power Favorites is really close. That's my official word.
Regarding PowerMarks, I tried it and at first sight I see three big limitations with it:[snip] - All imported bookmarks end up in the tree root. A choice to select where do you want the imported bookmarks to be put would be nice. - I didnt find any way to reorganize folders: drag and drop doesnt work in the folder tree frame, and only bookmark items show up in the right frame.
Nevertheless, as I said, tomorrow I'll try compiling my script and see if I can attach it to a button for the Firefox users who want one.
superboyac, I suggest doing the following:1. in your Powermarks options, in the Startup section, check "Start Powermarks when Windows starts"2. in your Powermarks options, in the Hotkeys section, set "Add bookmark from browser" to alt+ctrl+=3. if you haven't already, install AutoHotkey and read the tutorial for basic info on how it works4. create a new file called hotkeys.ahk, copy the code below into it (modified for your hotkey), and save it5. set the hotkey to be defined for your system at startup by adding a shortcut to hotkeys.ahk to your startup folder6. reboot[Select]^+=:: Clipsave = %Clipboard% ; save the current clipboard contents WinActivate Firefox ; move to the Firefox window WinWaitActive Firefox ; wait until the Firefox window is active Send !d^c ; copy the page's URL Send !^= ; simulate the hotkey for "Add bookmark from browser" WinWaitActive Bookmark Properties ; wait until the new blank powermark appears Send {Tab} ; move to the URL field ControlGetFocus, ControlName ; wait until we're at the URL field loop { if ControlName = Edit7 break sleep 50 ControlGetFocus, ControlName } Send ^v ; paste in the URL Send !f ; hit the Fetch button WinWaitActive Updating Powermark ; wait until the fetch finishes ControlGetText, ButtonText, Button1 loop { if ButtonText = OK break sleep 50 ControlGetText, ButtonText, Button1 } Send {Enter} ; close the fetch window WinWaitActive Bookmark Properties ; wait until the fetch window closes Send {Tab}{Del}^+{End}{Del} ; delete the fetched keywords so I can enter my own Clipboard = %Clipsave% ; restore the previous clipboard contents returnNow, Powermarks and AutoHotkey will run in the background. Hitting shift+ctrl+= will run the code associated with that hotkey. One of the things that code will do is simulate pressing alt+ctrl+=, which you've set in Powermarks as the hotkey to add a bookmark. You don't have to mess with compiling the script.
For everyone interested in a Powermarks replacement, Power Favorites is really close. That's my official word.

MURRIETA -- Coming off a three-day trip to Colorado to conduct a
background check on the top candidate for the Murrieta school
district's top job, school board members said Wednesday that they
are convinced now more than ever that Stan Scheer is the best
person to take the helm.
Murrieta Valley Unified School District trustees are expected to
ratify an employment contract with Scheer at a special meeting this
afternoon, bringing closure to a five-month process to replace
longtime Superintendent Chet Francisco, who resigned last fall.
Details on the length of Scheer's contract and annual salary
were not available Wednesday.
"It's amazing that the message we got was entirely consistent --
that he is a man of integrity," board President Margi Wray said of
Scheer. "Everyone working with him -- and that's the key word,
working with him and not for him -- everyone had a relationship
with him and knew him personally."
Wray, along with the other four board members, interviewed about
five dozen people in Littleton, Colo., this week, from civic
leaders to law enforcement officials to the rank and file of the
Littleton Public School District, Scheer's current superintendent
Trustees said several people had tears in their eyes and a few
even cried as they talked about Scheer's attributes and the thought
of him leaving Colorado.
"Not only is Stan Scheer committed to the excellence of
education, he is also clearly committed to individual
relationships," said Trustee Robin Crist. "Every person we spoke to
had a personal story between themselves and Stan that truly lifted
up my view of him to a whole new level."
Trustee Paul Diffley said some people told him how Scheer
frequently visits campuses and likes to serve as a substitute
"He loves to know what's going on and to see and hear how
everyone is doing," Diffley said. "I think that's pretty
Trustees said community members are welcome to come and meet
Scheer at their special meeting today, which begins at 3:15 this
afternoon at district headquarters, 41870 McAlby Court.
"Everyone spoke to Stan's integrity and educational leadership,
and that they were very sad to hear he is considering leaving,"
Trustee Kris Thomasian said. "He is someone that walks the
Scheer, who has more than 30 years' experience working in public
education -- from classroom to administrative jobs -- is expected
to begin working for the Murrieta district by July.
For the past seven years, Scheer, 63, has worked as
superintendent for the Littleton Public School District, and before
that worked as a superintendent and assistant superintendent at
public school districts in Missouri for nine years.
Scheer has also worked in Wyoming as a teacher, principal and
assistant superintendent for administrative services within the
Wyoming Department of Education, handling its finance system.
Scheer earned his bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees
from the University of Wyoming, as well as worked on post-graduate
school administration studies at Harvard University.
Before embarking on his career in education, Scheer served as an
armor officer in U.S. Army for two years.
Murrieta Valley Unified School District trustees are expected to
approve an employment contract with Stan Scheer this afternoon,
tapping him for the post of superintendent and bringing to a close
a five-month search for a new schools chief.
WHEN: 3:15 p.m.
WHERE: Murrieta Valley Unified School District headquarters,
41870 McAlby Court
WHY: Meet the new superintendent

Sat here (with my shitty cold that won't go) trying to sort a few rides around the country to get me out somewhere I wouldn't usually ride. Is Heaven of the South worth a go? Glossing over the fact it isn't actually in the south but very close to Wales.......maybe I should just carry on over the bridge.
Anyone done it? Would you do it again?

Prosecutors say an unlicensed driver has been convicted in the death of a U.S. Postal worker who died after being hit by a car while delivering mail along his route in Los Angeles.
City Attorney Carmen Trutanich announced Thursday that 59-year-old Felipe Soto was convicted on charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving with a suspended license.
Soto was sentenced to nearly a year in jail, and is being credited for 37 days served.
Soto was driving a van on Feb. 28 when his vehicle veered to the right and struck a 31-year-old on-duty postal worker as he stood behind his parked truck. The victim died the next day.
A restitution hearing has been set for June 21.

This is a response to a 16 year old living in Florida with his creationist parents. He's recently decided that he is a closeted atheist, partly as a result of watching the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate. He wants to know if/how he should come out to his parents. This is advice we've given several times on the show, but I like to lay stuff out in a blog post I can refer back to.
Our standard advice for teenagers telling parents they're atheists is be really really careful. Your parents control many aspects of your life, and it's not completely unheard of for parents to disown their kids over an issue like this. That means the worst case scenario is losing your home, or losing financial support for college if you're planning to go that route.
That doesn't mean that you definitely should not tell them. They're your parents, so you know them better than most people. How religious are they? Are they pretty level headed? Do they love you unconditionally? These are all factors you consider in deciding how safe you feel in telling them. I wouldn't want you putting your well being at risk for the sake of expressing yourself.
If you do decide to tell your parents, and you don't know for sure how they'll react, you'd best have a backup plan. Think about people you know and trust among your friends and extended family. Would any of them be more understanding if you told them first? Would they be willing to take you in if necessary? You might want to ask.
Finally, remember that since your parents have such unique power in your life, you shouldn't view it as your job to change their minds. If you can get them to accept you and keep loving you, that's a win even if they never agree with your point of view. So have arguments about the existence of God with other people as much as you like. But if you're getting in a fight with your parents, sometimes the best you can do is to stand your ground and let them know that you may disagree with them, but you will always be a decent and ethical person who loves them.

An important goal in the mission of San Diego Botanic Garden is conservation. We strive to conserve rare and endangered plants and their ecosystems and to promote sustainable use of natural resources.
The gardens at San Diego Botanic Garden represent fifteen different regions of the world as well as twelve demonstration gardens. Visitors have the opportunity to explore geographically organized gardens such as Australia, South America, the Canary Islands, Madagascar, Hawaii, Central America, California, and the Mediterranean. Other display gardens include the New World and Old World Desert Gardens, the Underwater Succulent Garden, Mexican Garden, Sub-Tropical Fruit Garden, and Landscape for Fire Safety.
The most important botanical collections are: bamboo, palms, cycads, aloes, and agaves. Many of these species are of conservation concern. In addition there are dozens of other plant species in our collections of conservation significance, including native plants in natural areas that are listed as federally and state endangered and threatened species.
Annual Meeting Presentation
The Garden welcomed members, Docents, volunteers, and staff to our Annual Meeting on January 25th. During the meeting, we shared 2014's accomplishments and our goals for 2015. Special Guest Dr. Peter Raven, President Emeritus at the Missouri Botanic Garden, also spoke about the importance of public gardens. Dr. Raven's PowerPoint presentation given during the Annual Meeting is available below.

Low Water Gardening
Many local landscape plants are more drought tolerant than most people think. Often people water their plants and gardens 30-80% more than they need.
On the other hand, newly planted plants, and especially trees and large shrubs need more water for the first year or two. Most perennials and smaller fast growing shrubs need extra water for 6-8 months, especially in the summer.
For most plants the best time to plant is in the fall or early winter so that roots can establish over our rainy season. Of course, most winters we don't really get too much rain so additional watering is necessary.
Generally, if you want fast growth initially, water more, but when the plants get larger cut back on the watering. This will restrict future growth and eliminate a lot of unnecessary pruning and trimming.

Water Smart - A Green Garden
At San Diego Botanic Garden we believe in living "green" and are committed to having a sustainable environment.
The Garden historically developed through the low water plantings of the Larabee family in the 1940s and 1950. As a county park botanical garden from the 1960s through the 1980s there was an emphasis on plants and gardens for our low water Mediterranean-type climate. Original gardens areas focused on the Mediterranean climates of the world, desert gardens, and other plants with low water needs from other areas of the world.The majority of our gardens today feature low water use plants from arid regions of the world.
Water is a precious resource. Conserving water is critical to Southern California and to us. In the new Hamilton Children's Garden, a water wise garden introduces children to a variety of water saving ideas and technologies, including displays of water smart plants. Throughout the Garden, we use a variety of strategies like irrigation low water sprinklers, weather sensitive controllers, dry streams, and rain gardens. In addition, we use recycled water in 30% of the gardens. We were one of the first botanical gardens to use this resource and were recognized by the WateReuse Association as the 2007 Recycled Water Irrigation Customer of the Year.
Classes on water conservation-related subjects are offered throughout the year. Monthly volunteer tours highlight low water plants and gardens. A number of colleges and universities schedule horticultural and botany classes here. San Diego Botanic Garden has produced four educational gardening videos including two water conservation landscape videos with the San Diego Water Authority.
Here our "green" waste composed of trimmings, dead leaves, and branches is shredded, composted, and reused as mulch to beautify our gardens. Green roofs produce shade, cool buildings, and reduce storm water runoff. We recycle cans, plastic, and paper to reduce the size of landfills. In our newest buildings at the Hamilton Children's Garden solar panels are used to produce solar energy. Our newer parking lots have permeable paving to avoid runoff.
Native Plant Conservation
Preserving existing natural areas at the San Diego Botanic Garden is very important. The Garden is located in Encinitas, California within a mile of the coast. There are approximately eleven acres of natural areas and restored natural areas in the Garden. The local southern maritime chaparral and coastal sage scrub plant communities are some of the nation's most endangered vegetation types as they are small in size and restricted to coastal areas. Over the past century these Southern California coastal areas have been in high demand for urban development.

March 7, 2009 Among the display of new camera models at PMA 2009 FUJIFILM demonstrated a compelling 3D photo and movie technology, that uses a dual lens/sensor camera to record 3D images. These images can then be played back without the need for special glasses on a digital display, or even printed. Both the display and prints generate their 3D effect by use of a special lenticular lens laminated to their surfaces.
FUJIFILM is claiming that the prototypes shown could be commercialized as soon as this summer in some form.
Meanwhile check out the gallery for a few shots we were able to take on the tradeshow floor at PMA.

From the time moment I moved to Imperial Beach in early 2006, I would regularly see former City Councilman Fred McLean riding his bike, watching the surf at noon, visiting and helping promote the future of youth, sports and culture in this seaside town.
Before he passed away last year, he would always remind me about the need for tennis courts here in IB.
So, now that I read that there is funding for a proposed skate park so that our youth have a place for recreation and growth, it seems to me now is the time for tennis courts, too. And we should build them in memory of Fred McLean and his concern for the future of youth, sports, physical education and recreation in Imperial Beach.
Unfortunately, I did not take the time to help pursue his tennis dream before Fred passed away.
The cost of courts might range from $50,000 to $100,000 each. But the United States Tennis Association has grants available for California courts for up to 20 percent of the cost. If the City Council, the community and the school districts rally around this project, it could be done.
I was lucky growing up to have tennis courts to play on at Morley Field or in La Jolla and Mission Hills.
Tennis helped make me a better student in the classroom.
San Diego County has been the home of many great tennis players including Michael Chang, Raul Ramirez, Brian Teacher, the Redondos, the Holladays and Randy Thomas, who was a teammate of mine at San Diego High School in the late 1960s.
Great local teachers such as Ben Press, Wilbur Folsom, Bob Lansdorp, Bill Bond, Ed Collins, Les Stoeffen – there are too many to name them all – have trained pros such as Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Dennis Ralston, Moe Connolly and Roscoe Tanner. Tennis centers at Morley Field, Hotel del Coronado and the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club have been favorite workout places for the likes of Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Maria Sharapova and even Bobby Riggs. And people like Angel Lopez have helped establish clubs like the San Diego Racquet Club and helped the growth of the public Barnes Tennis Center.
But almost all tennis players started on public courts in parks and playgrounds – for instance, Billy Jean King, Arthur Ashe and the Williams sisters.
When I taught for the city of San Diego's recreation program, the classes were full of people of all ages in from Pacific
Beach, Point Loma, Mission Hills, Bonita, Chula Vista and almost everywhere else.
But it all starts by having public tennis courts to play and workout on.
I call upon the members of the IB community to contact the City Council and me with their thoughts for moving forth with this project.
It may not cost as much as you would think, perhaps $200,000 for three or four courts, not as much, perhaps, as the $330,000
that is estimated for the skate park.
I am sure the USTA and many former and present tennis professionals and players would join us in the effort to fund and build tennis
courts for Imperial Beach. I am happy to try to help lead this initiative in memory of Fred McLean.
Tennis is one of the most challenging of sports, calling for individual training and mental stamina. It can be played at all levels and all stages in life. It is a sport for life and of life.Every community should have public courts available
Now is the time to act.
Gerlach is a tennis instructor.

RINCON 5 Green Prefab Now at $179k+
You've probably heard about Marmol Radziner Prefab's latest single-module offering called the RINCON, right? RINCON is the moniker for their latest modular series, a line of homes that can double as a small prefab dwelling or ancillary living structure, you name it. The name is inspired by the Spanish word for "nook" — an apt description for this little accessory structure. The largest model in the series is RINCON 5, and it's a 660 sf model with full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and deck area.
Thoughts on Al Gore's Five-Part Plan to Repower America
I've always been kind of irked by the fact that President Reagan, after having the White House's leaky roof fixed, never replaced the solar hot water panels installed by President Carter. But it's hard to judge him because I was barely crawling at the time — I have no idea what was going on in the collective conscious of that generation. I mean, Al Gore mentions in Sunday's Op-Ed in the NY Times that President Nixon established Project Independence 35 years ago with a goal to, in seven years time, develop the potential to meet our country's energy needs without having to rely on any foreign energy sources. Yet, that never happened and Reagan's act, the way I see it, symbolically shut the door on the possibility of American energy self-reliance. At least for the time being.

This is what a surfboard would feel like to me, for sure--I like to stay where I can stand and have the waves lift me up right before they break on the shore--I'm not the most daring person! :-)))
Fear not, loadsa'-dogs-and-cats........I am wearing my rubber ring!...............(getting a bit dizzy though).....
This is probably more what I would end up like if I ever tried to get on a surfboard!! Fun, colorful puzzle. Thanks, Pat. I was glad to read that you didn't get back to your puzzles on Monday because of being engrossed in a BOOK. I highly approve of that!!!. I was concerned that you were not well.

Ubisoft Vancouver, the studio behind Pure Futbol (PS3, Xbox 360) and Motionsports: Adrenaline (Move, Kinect), will shut shop this month, it's been confirmed.
"Ubisoft confirms that we have made the difficult decision to close its studio in Vancouver," a Ubisoft spokesperson told Game Informer. "Unfortunately, we haven't found the right formula for success for the talented team there. We thank our Vancouver team for their hard work and the projects that they have delivered."
All is not lost for Ubisoft Vancouver staff, however.
"Team members will have the opportunity to consider positions in other Ubisoft studios and we will work with each of them to help find the best next step, whether it be within Ubisoft or outside."

Polish gas from Polish coal: environmental benefits
The development of coalbed methane gas from Polish coal offers a significant opportunity to reduce noxious pollutant emissions associated with coal combustion. A review of energy supply and consumption within Poland, and of available coalbed methane resources, indicates that use of coalbed methane could eliminate 40-60 million tonnes of sulfur dioxide and particulates from the atmosphere, save US$3 billion in pollution control equipment investment, and provide 10 000 jobs. Regional and international trading of emission control credits, available by fuel switches from coal to coalbed methane gas, should be encouraged to allow external investment in environmental improvements in Poland's industry and cities.

Samsung had a lot of new products on offer during its CES technology show news conference Wednesday. But the first item on the agenda? Eating crow.
The firm opened its turn in the spotlight at the tech show by acknowledging that having to stop making one of its flagship smartphones and deal with explosive washing machines were not ideal for the firm.
"This year was a challenging year for Samsung," said Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Electronics America. "We continue our intensive efforts internally and with third-party experts to understand what happened and to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Baxter said the company will release information...

Google (News - Alert) CEO Eric Schmidt on Tuesday confirmed that the Internet giant made a strong push to convince Nokia to adopt its Android (News - Alert) operating system, and expressed disappointment with the fact that the Finnish company went with Microsoft instead.
Schmidt's comments were made during the his keynote address at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, just a few days after Nokia announced that it is scrapping its hallmark Symbian operating system for Microsoft's Windows Phone (News - Alert) 7 OS.
"We would've loved if [Nokia] would have chosen Android; they chose the other guys, that other competitor, Microsoft," Schmidt said.
Google's CEO added that he thought Android was the best choice for Nokia, and would keep the offer on the table if the phone maker decides to change its mind.
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, a former executive at Microsoft, said that he decided against going with Android, in part, because it would most likely create a duopoly, where Apple (News - Alert) and Android would rule the mobile device space, according to Computer World.
Even while losing out on a blockbuster deal with Nokia, Schmidt was very high on the future of Android, and dismissed accusations that the OS is becoming fragmented. He said that with more than 300,000 Android-based devices are being activated on a daily basis, Google's OS is "the fastest-growing mobile platform in the world."
As for the issue of fragmentation, Schmidt doesn't see it being a major concern. He said that Google has agreements in place that require phone and tablet manufacturers to support specific APIs, which Schmidt said gives all Android devices a similar feel.
Some industry leaders, including longtime Apple CEO Steve Jobs (News - Alert), have criticized Android for its fragmented nature. Android is easily customizable and is spread out among a number of different versions.
A recent Android Developers report found that less than one half of one percent of Android handsets are running Gingerbread 2.3, Google's most recent iteration of its mobile operating system.
Meanwhile, 51.8 percent of Android phones are equipped with version 2.2, also known as Froyo, while 35.2 percent are loaded with Android 2.1. Astonishingly, nearly 13 percent of handsets are still running versions 1.6 and 1.5, two of Android's older operating systems.

Chloe Vevrier's Porn Star Bio
Chloe Vevrier was born to conservative French/Czechoslavakian parents in a Communist-controlled East Berlin. With societal sexuality and porn being highly regulated, she actually began her adult career "underground" in 1986 as a lingerie model. Her participation in this scene led to work as a stripper and adult model, and by 1992 she was working with photographer John Graham. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Chloe moved to London and began solo posing for magazines—including Gent, Juggs, Mayfair, and Bachelor—as well as making cameos in hardcore productions. She spent the next ten years modeling for Score and eventually moved into participating in lesbian shoots and videos. Given her endowments, she became known throughout the industry for her large tits as well as this content preference.
Top Rated Porn Movies
Two of her most well-known titles are Ultimate Chloe (1999) and Ultimate Hardcore (2000) as she did not participate directly in boy-girl scenes until their filming, and returned to solo/girl-on-girl work afterwards.
Quirky Facts
Credits tantric yoga to her naturally large breast size and it's ongoing development, plus has appeared in over 350 magazines internationally (thanks to these assets).
Over the years, Chloe has embraced other work such as writing the "Love School" column for Danni.com's Honest Bra e-zine (1998-2000); after her marriage in 2002, her focus returned to modeling as well as reporting for Bachelor Magazine (beginning in 2003)—covering worldwide sex conventions and events.

Endowed Scholarship Named for Jon Lindstrom
From left, Jon Lindstrom's brothers Mark and Scott, and sister Karen Kimball, stand next to the Japanese Snowbell planted on the University of Arkansas campus in Jon's memory
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – A tree-planting ceremony was held by the horticulture department in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences at the University of Arkansas on Friday, Oct. 25, in memory of associate professor Jon Lindstrom, who passed away during the summer.
The tree, a Japanese Snowbell, was planted in the courtyard between the Agriculture Building and the Agriculture Annex.
The ceremony also signified the creation of the Dr. Jon Lindstrom Endowed Scholarship Fund. Funded by donations from family and friends, the scholarship is available for the 2014-15 academic year.
Lindstrom earned his bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 1981, his master's degree in horticulture from the University of Maryland in 1987 and his doctorate in agronomy from the University of Illinois in 1991. He joined the Bumpers College faculty in 1998.
He taught classes on woody landscape plants, researched ornamental plant breeding and evaluation, especially Sinningia (American plants cultivated as houseplants for variously colored flowers), and filed plant patents, including the Sinningia "Arkansas Bells." Lindstrom was also a frequent contributing author to Arkansas Gardner magazine.
"Jon arrived at the university a year or two before me," said David Hensley, horticulture department head. "He was one of the most talented and dedicated teachers in the college. It was his passion, and his students responded. They would often comment his class was one of the hardest of their college career, but one they enjoyed the most. Jon could identify and grow any plant. If he didn't know the answer off the top of his head, he would have it in a few hours.
"Jon was well-respected by the faculty in our department, across the college and nationally in horticulture. He is greatly missed. We're very pleased to have the Dr. Jon Lindstrom Endowed Scholarship Fund established in his honor."
According to the Lindstrom family, the purpose of the scholarship is to further develop and encourage students to pursue research and careers in ornamental horticulture as well as create opportunities for students to follow in Lindstrom's academic footsteps.
The recipient, who will be selected by Hensley or his designee, must be enrolled in the Bumpers College; must have and maintain a 2.7 cumulative grade point average or better to receive and retain the scholarship; and must demonstrate an interest in woody plants in addition to exhibiting qualities deemed by the horticulture department to suggest future success in a career in ornamental horticulture.
"Jon devoted himself to teaching and encouraging his students to develop a passion for woody landscape plants as well as sharing his enthusiasm for orchids," said Bumpers College Dean Mike Vayda. "He was a tireless advocate for the student experience and dedicated countless hours to advising and supporting students outside of the classroom. This scholarship has been made possible by friends and former students of Jon and his family. I can't think of a more wonderful way for him to be remembered and to ensure his connection to the university for years to come. He will continue to have an impact on our students."
Anyone wishing to contribute to the scholarship fund may do so by contacting Mitchell Spearman, the Bumpers College director of external relations, at email@example.com or 479-575-2270.

Imagine having to come up with different baby names for nine little girls. It seems impossible, right? Well, for one New Jersey family, apparently the answer is yes because they are taking bids for the right to name their ninth daughter.
According to the Washington Post, an ad asking for help in coming up with the perfect baby name appeared on Craigslist last week. But there's a catch: The opportunity to name the baby will cost you a hefty $20,000.
The ad has since been taken down, but here is what it said:
"This is an excellent opportunity for someone who did not have children, or someone looking to honor a relative, or even to honor someone who was killed in the Holocaust."
No, this isn't a hoax.
The Jewish parents who are selling the chance to name their baby don't seem to see anything wrong with what they are doing. Instead, the new parents of 10 — their brood also includes a boy — insist that they've run out of baby name ideas. All relatives have been honored, all namesakes accounted for. They hope to put the money toward the cost of raising their family.
The winning bid must include a secular name and a Hebrew name. No crazy names will be accepted. Plus, the family is hoping that the person who names their baby will also want to take part in her life. Yes, in addition to walking away $20,000 poorer, the "winner" should have an interest in attending the baby's bat mitzvah, graduations, and wedding.
Hmm. This just may be the strangest idea I've ever heard. Naming a baby is the job of the mom and dad if you ask me. What's next? Selling feeding sessions for $10 each or the opportunity to pick out the baby's outfit for the day for the bargain price of $5?
Also, is it just me or does this proposition seem like a way to buy your way into a family?
Still, I can't help wondering if there are any interested parties...
What do you think of the idea of selling the rights to a baby's name?

Investors and analysts are typically super focused on company earnings numbers when they are reported. Company earnings are a good way to evaluate the company profitability. Currently, sell-side analysts are expecting J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT) to report quarterly EPS of $1. The company's next earnings report is expected to be published on or around 2017-01-19 for the period ending on 2016-12-31.
When a company releases earnings information, the results have the possibility of causing short-term stock movements whether the company misses or beats projections. Prior to the company's earnings report, investors may be tracking directional trends of provided estimates. J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT) most recently reported a previous quarter earnings per share of $0.97. The Zacks Research consensus before the earnings release was $1.02.
The gap between the estimate and actual was $-0.05 which created a surprise factor of -4.9%. The current mean price target on the stock is $89.615 which includes 13 analysts that were polled by Zacks Research. The high end target price has shares touching $96 and the low end target estimate has the stock moving to $82 within the year. In looking at the standard deviation of all estimates, we arrive at 3.927.
Zacks Research also uses a numerical ratings scale that spans from 1 to 5. Using this rating scale, a 1 would represent a Strong Buy, and a 5 rating would represent a Strong Sell rating. Combining all the ratings on J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT), the current mean is sitting at 1.81. Breaking those down we see that the ratings are as follows: 9 Strong Buy, 1 Rated Buy, 6 Rated Hold and 0 Rated Sell.

So I have a site that was recently translated from ColdFusion to PHP and moved to an Apache server.
On the CF server, I could specify a 404 handler and the server permitted me to send "200" Header Response Codes. The new server also lets me do that, but sends the 404 codes first!! So many search engines are now NOT indexing these pages. Annoying but unchangeable (as far as I an tell - if someone knows some htaccess hack, let me know). It is on a shared host, so I do have limits as to what I can do on the server itself.
So now I have a situation where I must use mod_rewrite instead of using the 404 error handler script to send the correct HTML to the user's browser. Previously, I simply broke the URL apart in PHP or ColdFusion into arrays from "/" or "-" delimited strings and created variables then included the appropriate php script to generate the HTML.
Problem is, I have little to know experience writing regex (for the mod-rewrite)!
If I get the hang of it for one kind of setting, I know I can apply it to others.
So here is the scenario:
I have URLs requests coming in like:
(X and Y are integers, the last sting sometimes contains numbers and hyphens)
and it needs to be translated in mod_rewrite to something like:
Only URLs that have the initial directory of "/Company-Products-X" should be handled in this fashion.
So I think I need an initial search for that first Directory to CONTAIN "Company-Products" and an integer. Then I need to grab the lone integer at the end of the hyphen delimited string that makes up the second directory and use them to crate the target URL.
The site has been around in the CF server so long that many incoming links are already in place on 3rd party websites. That is why I am bothering to handle this rather than change it to directories that appear to be only integers. I have to handle all the incoming requests from these 3rd party sites.
Thanks for any help you can provide. Once I get this pattern done, I am sure I can figure out the other rules I will need for other section of the site that have similar problems.

The director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center says the recent release of classified U.S. government documents on the WikiLeaks Internet website might affect information sharing, but that it will not significantly affect counterterrorism efforts. Information about those efforts is among the most sensitive for the U.S. government and is not widely circulated.
Counterterrorism Center chief Michael Leiter said the WikiLeaks revelations have sparked reevaluations of what information is shared among U.S. government agencies and officials.

"It has certainly driven individuals in the intelligence community and beyond the intelligence community to at least reexamine information sharing and ensure that we are still getting the right information to the right people," Leiter said. "But we are not getting excess information to the people who really don't need it."

Kerry and Democrats Say Bush Report Misleads With Claims of Progressby Pamela Leavey
Just one day after Bush announced "a limited drawdown of U.S. troops from Iraq by next summer," Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said that "it might be possible to reduce U.S. forces there further over the course of next year, down to approximately 100,000 troops by the end of 2008." Gates's comments came in the wake of the White House report "concluding that the Iraqi government has not made satisfactory progress on several political and security benchmarks."
In a congressionally mandated assessment, the administration found only modest improvements since an interim report in July.
Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon, Gates said he hopes that in March, Petraeus "will be able to say that he thinks that the pace of drawdowns can continue at the same rate in the second half of the year as in the first half of the year." Asked if such reductions would mean that U.S. troops would number about 100,000 by the end of 2008, Gates replied: "That would be the math."
Gates spokesman Geoff Morrell later emphasized that the defense secretary's comments were his "personal views" and did not represent administration policy or a formal military plan. But Gates's statements, delivered in his first Washington news conference in two months, underscored the continuing battle inside the administration and on Capitol Hill over the size of the U.S. troop presence in Iraq.
Leading Democrats including John Kerry said that "Bush's proposed cuts do not go far enough in reshaping the U.S. mission." And today Senate Democrats said "one of their proposals aimed at shifting the president's strategy is finally close to winning enough Republican support for a real chance at being approved."
Kerry issued the following statement, in response to the Benchmark Status Report on Iraq that President Bush sent to Congress this morning:
"It's telling that the only report that shows progress in Iraq comes from the same Administration that predicted we'd be greeted as liberators and proclaimed 'mission accomplished.' This Administration is in deep denial. Their misguided account is out of touch with every recent independent Iraq assessment, from General Jones to the GAO report, which found that the Iraqis met only one of eight benchmarks on political reconciliation. The White House needs to stop spinning and start changing course now."
Joe Biden chimed in saying, "All it does is point out the failure. You don't even need to go to the benchmarks to realize what an abject failure this policy has been."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released the following statement today on the latest White House benchmark report:
"As hard as they may have tried to spin it, today's assessment by the White House on the political situation in Iraq once again shows that the President's flawed escalation policy is not working. It certainly does not justify keeping 130,000 soldiers mired in an open ended civil war as the President has chosen to do. Virtually every independent assessment on Iraq thus far has shown that the Iraqi government has failed to meet many of the political benchmarks that they have set; including the recent GAO report which stated that they have not met 15 out of 18 benchmarks. This is unacceptable.
The White House must drop its stay-the-course policy committing American troops to an open-ended civil war. It is time to change the mission in Iraq to protect our troops and make America safer. Democrats will continue to work to do so and hope that Republicans who had previously called for a change of course in September join us."

It is not just Kerry and the Democrats that say the President is using "Shaky Facts."
The Non Partisan Factcheck.org also seems to think that the President glossed over a number of "facts" when he tried to speak about Iraqi success.
We've all grown accustomed to the lies Bush and his co-horts tell. WMD and "Mission Accomplished",along with what he calls "progress" only being three of them of the many. He has no qualms about the wars he started and deaths of OUR troops, caused by his invasions, while looking to "put a feather in his cap"…Glory Seeker, Bush! He WILL sink to the bottom rung of the ladder, in the rankings of Presidents of the U. S. He's ignored the wishes of the American people too many years now, in favor of his own dreams of success..unforgiveable. He is without a doubt, the worst President we have ever had
We received what for the price of the blood we've spilled in Iraq?
Humanity aside from those of us in the U.S. got what for the price of the blood that those of us in the U.S. have spilled in Iraq?
If these two questions can be answered, if at all, only in the form of something which clearly can be classified only as a word game, what thing of any value can we say the blood spilled by us in Iraq has paid for?
If and when we "premptively" spill blood in Iran, we multiply the travesty of the blood already spilled by us in Iraq by what factor?

Gaetti, Longoria linked by long ball
Gaetti, Longoria linked by long ball
MINNEAPOLIS -- As the hitting coach for the Rays' Triple-A Durham affiliate, Gary Gaetti spent parts of the last two seasons working with third baseman Evan Longoria. Now, the two will now be forever linked in another way. That's after Longoria became only the second player in Major League history to hit home runs in his first two postseason plate appearances on Thursday afternoon. The first was Gaetti, who accomplished the feat in Game 1 of the 1987 American League Championship Series when he was the Twins' third baseman.
"I just thought it was kind of ironic because I got to coach Evan earlier this year and a little bit last year," Gaetti said when reached on his cell phone near his home in Louisiana. "I didn't know at the time that it had never been done again [after me]. I figured the way that things go nowadays that definitely somebody would do it. "It's kind of special that it's somebody that I know and somebody I have coached who has done the same thing. I wish he would have gone deep for a third time. But I'm really proud of him and happy for the Rays." Gaetti said that watching Longoria's big moment immediately brought back memories of his special day on Oct. 7, 1987. Facing Tigers right-hander Doyle Alexander in Game 1 of that '87 ALCS at the Metrodome, Gaetti hit a one-out solo homer to deep center field in the second inning to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead. With the ballgame tied at 1 heading into the bottom of the fifth, Gaetti then led off with his second home run of the day off Alexander, this one to right-center field, to give the Twins back the lead. "It was an unreal feeling," Gaetti said. "We were facing a guy that we hadn't done real well against so it kind of set the tone for the game. Certainly after the first one, you don't think it's going to happen again. It was almost like a déjà vu thing." Gaetti, who spent 20 years in the big leagues playing for six different clubs, went on to be named the ALCS MVP that season. In his seventh year with the Twins at the time, Gaetti batted .300 with those two home runs and five RBIs that postseason as he helped Minnesota to capture its first World Series championship. Longoria is just a rookie, but as a former third baseman himself, Gaetti said that he was immediately struck by what he saw in Longoria during the short time he got to work with him in Durham. "He's actually the best all-around young player that I've coached in the Minor Leagues," Gaetti said. "His defense is what really impressed me -- how he moved and how he handled situations. His ability to make adjustments and his mentality in the game was well beyond his age. He's just a special guy, he really is." Gaetti said that it was great to watch Longoria match his feat, but he hopes that the storyline continues to unfold for the Rays in the same way that it did for the Twins in 1987. That year, the Twins accomplished the unthinkable, going from one of the worst records in the league the previous season to winning the club's first World Series. The Rays are attempting to do the same thing this year. "The similarities are uncanny to me, just in regards to seeing how they are doing in this thing," Gaetti said. "They kind of had that theme all year of 'Why not us?' Once you get to a certain point in the season and have success, that's how it is -- why not us? They are hot right now and they are really believing it, really smelling it. So, why not the Rays?"

OCRACOKE � North Carolina will pay about $1 million extra this year to provide ferry service between Hatteras and Ocracoke islands since a longer route must be used because continued shoaling makes the traditional route unsafe, state officials said.
Officials with the N.C. Ferry Division told The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Virginia, that the new route costs $9 million compared to $8.1 million for the traditional route. "We're not budgeted for the longer route," said Jed Dixon, deputy director of the Ferry Division.
The alternate trip is more than 3 miles farther and takes an hour rather than 40 minutes on the traditional one. Ferries have used the longer, 7.7-mile route since December.
The Ferry Division operates six vessels carrying about 9,000 vehicles a week from 5 a.m. to midnight.
In addition, the Army Corps of Engineers has no more money to dredge the roughly 4-mile-long channel, said Donnie Potter, chief of physical support with the corps in Wilmington. The Corps has operated two dredges for a total of 69 days since January, at a cost of nearly $2 million, he said.
Hatteras Inlet has continued to widen since 2003, when Hurricane Isabel struck. The Atlantic Ocean pounds through the wider breach, pushing sand into the traditional channel as fast as dredges can remove it, Dixon said.
"It's made running ferries across the inlet pretty tough," he said. "People tell me it's the widest they've ever seen it."
Permits call for the Hatteras Inlet ferry channel to be kept at 100 feet wide and 14 feet deep. The state plans to request that the ferry route be widened to 250 feet, said Tim Haas, spokesman for the Ferry Division.
"A 100-foot channel just isn't good enough anymore," he said. "What's happened to the south end of Hatteras Island is a disaster."
The 45-foot-wide ferries are barely able to pass in the 100-foot wide channel, he said. It only takes a minimal amount of shoaling to make the traditional route unsafe, he said, adding that dredging would be less frequent if the channel were wider.
Officials with the Ferry Division and the Army Corps of Engineers plan to meet next month to discuss a new permit allowing 250 feet, said Potter. He said he supports the widening if it is feasible.
Almost 1 million people per year cross the inlet between Hatteras and Ocracoke, the most of any of the state's seven ferries.

Ghostpoet ft The D.O.T. 'Trouble' by UNKNOWN
Ghostpoet and The D.O.T's new collaboration Trouble has inspired what is being described as the World's First Live Interactive Music Video...
Created by the directing collective UNKNOWN - who directed the excellent MVA-nominated video for Ghostpoet's Survive It earlier this year - with the support of Passion RAW and Rizlab (who are sponsoring experiments in music), Ghostpoet and The D.O.T. performed Trouble at a a DJ event at the Village Underground in Shoreditch on 30th November. The performance was streamed live online and the audience at home were able to dictate the kind of trouble that the band found themselves in...
Over 20,000 viewers were given 32 possibilities, via two buttons on their screens at home, to affect this single performance. Every 15 seconds the viewer could vote as to the next action that would occur: Cheerleaders, or Balls Balloons or Bad Disco Tourist/Pong or Bandzilla/Brrr... (!)
Here's the whole project - including pre-content shot and released in the days leading up the event to promote the video and drive traffic to the site for the day of the event - and, of course, the final music video itself...

Good online registration software features database-driven functionality that allows users to import and export registrant data, track things like participation and payment, and automate correspondence such as event confirmations, invoices, wait lists and more.
One of the key value propositions of such a registration system is that it improves the registrant experience while saving you the time of data entry and the trouble of registration errors caused by bad keystrokes or faulty record keeping.
Good registration software keeps your data in order in one central repository, whether that data was entered by a registrant through your website or entered the day of an event by a staff person handling walk-in traffic. Once the registrant data is in the system, you should never have to recreate it. And any changes made to the data (e.g., a new phone number or e-mail address), will be reflected across your system.
This is a difference-maker for those having to manually enter hundreds of names into a not-so-good online registration system or spreadsheet, sometimes for each new event. With software such as ABC Signup, that information can be imported en masse – at the click of a mouse – into the system, saving hours, errors and sore wrists.
Simple actions thereafter (again, with good registration software) enable the user to deploy the information to do everything from create personalized e-mail event invitations to award CEU credits to export financial reports.
In a nutshell, registration software enables you to spend less time keying in data and more time finding keys to better programs and events. If you are interested in learning more about this and other benefits of online registration software, please contact us at your convenience.
