Hi Everyone:
I've been quilting for 1-1/2 yrs and only got into it at my DH's urging. But he knew I'd love it and he was right! Several months ago, he bought me a super duper Viking Diamond machine and I'm using it every chance I get. Presently, I'm working on a baby quilt and will post a picture when that's done. Today I'm posting the quilt I made my DD and SIL for their engagement (this was my FIRST quilt). Had to be nuts!
Thanks for all of your knowledge -- I've learned some tricks already just by reading this board.

Hey, guys. So, I was twerking working on this game called Keynact Gam.
So, you start it up, and it brings up a window that says Press Sturt.
When you press the sturt button, back away from the computer and put yourself within the field of view of the Kinect. Make sure you have a decent amount of room.
Two people stand in front of the Kinect, where the player on the right, player one, is red, and the player on the left, player 2, is blue. These two players are rotated around the points 2 metres to the right and 1.5 metres out and 2 metres to the left and 1.5 metres out respectively to face each other. Using this space, they duel.
So far:
Hit damage is based off of velocity.
You can dodge to depth (away from the dividing line is away from the camera, towards the dividing line is towards the camera).
If you place your hands together and then separate them, you go pew pew magic missile.
If a hit touches the line between your elbow and hand or knee and shoulder (or an equipped sabre), it is blocked.
If that hit is a magic missile, it is volleyed.
When a hit is blocked, you get a supercharged attack (which is either a super strong hit or four magic missiles in a cross).
Sabres occasionally spawn on the ground (it appears as a hilt until picked up) to pick up and fuck the opponent up with.
You can pick up and drop sabres by swiping your hand on the ground.
Sabres despawn when you drop them.
You can dual wield sabres.
Sabres break after 8 rounds.
Auto-updates (when I get my own internet and not my neighbours' back tomorrow anyway).
(I can't be bothered to post screenshots until I get net back. I'm on neighbour net/3g until tomorrow. It feels like I'm fedexing a USB stick with an HTTP get packet and waiting for a server response.)

Programmable controllers offer diversity for building automation integrators
Building automation equipment market has been slow going; however, IHS expects this to change as the market moves toward fully programmable controllers in the shorter term.
The building automation (BA) equipment market has experienced few changes to standard equipment over the past ten years. Although there have been technology improvements, the BA equipment market has been slow going; however, IHS expects this to change as the market moves toward fully programmable controllers in the shorter term, according to a new report from IHS.
Globally, fully programmable controllers accounted for 41% of controller unit sales in 2013 and this percentage is forecast to grow to 43.9% in 2018.
A wide range of factors are impacting this growth opportunity. IHS expects that differentiation remains an issue for the BA market as a whole, where about 80% of a building automation system will be installed the same, regardless of the integrator. As a result, only about 20% of each BA project allows for differentiation of products and services. Here, integrators can create unique applications within fully programmable controllers which can save the end-user money over the lifetime of the system. IHS believes this is the best opportunity for integrators to show end-users how their applications differ from the competition.
Furthermore, building automation systems are becoming more innovative, allowing systems to incorporate more advanced sensors than in the past. These advanced sensors are providing integrators with more information compared with cheaper configurable and fixed systems, resulting in more robust and effective applications.
So what exactly does this mean for the building automation equipment market and integrators? It means the market is seeing a shift toward more expensive systems with a programmable controller at the core. Although the programmable controller is more expensive than more traditional controllers, many end-users are seeing the benefits and the ROI has justified the additional cost. Lastly, in addition to the programmable controller, integrators and manufactures who are able to improve their application libraries will find it easier to win lucrative projects.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Cynthia Degiorgio – Curator St John's Co-Cathedral Foundation
I was employed by the Foundation of St John's Co-Cathedral as Curator since 2005. St John's is one of the most important historical monuments housing unique artefacts including the most important work by the renowned artist Caravaggio. It is the most visited site in Malta and hosts some of the most important Ecclesiastical and state events. Therefore this position is unique and a most challenging one. Many may find it interesting that this position is held by a woman. Being a female in this role has advantages as I naturally lean more to the female psyche which tends to be passionate, nurturing and also organised and loyal, perhaps it is the role itself that inspires such qualities.
In my role as curator I have managed some very interesting and challenging projects which have kept me motivated. It has given be the opportunity to gain considerable technical experience and knowledge on how to manage unique situations not only concerning restoration and managing the church as a tourist attraction but also managing certain unique state and ecclesiastical events. It has given be the opportunity to sharpened my organisational skills and manage unpredictable situations. I have also learnt how to manage people effectively and obtain the best results possible. This position has given me the opportunity of meeting some very interesting people.
I believe that I have been given a mission of great responsibility and I am dedicated to that cause. This role to me is a labour of love and the results of transforming the church to its former glorious condition is of great personal satisfaction and a reward far greater that any remuneration received. As a woman I feel driven to do whatever I do with passion and to the best of my ability. One has to be strong and confident, be prepared to learn from any situation and not fear the challenge.

Show Happenings
As you have already seen or will be seeing later, this issue marks our annual presentation of the 2001 SEMA Show. For those readers not in the know, SEMA stands for Specialty Equipment Market Association. It's an annual four-day event, usually taking place during the last week of October or the first week of November, a sort of Who's Who in the aftermarket industry. It's by far the truck industry's largest trade show known to man and the third largest show to come into the bright lights of Las Vegas every year.
This year was no exception. However, given the circumstances surrounding September 11, there was some speculation that the show would be postponed or canceled entirely. Some of our editorial staffs would have loved this, especially when it came to crunch time and everyone was attempting to get project vehicles finished to be on display at SEMA. However, this show also lends a certain function, allowing many of us who communicate often on a daily basis through both telephone and e-mail to actually sit, talk, and put faces to names we hear so many times throughout the year.
So while the September 11th tragedy was still on everyone's minds and attendance was off somewhat mainly because of so many people's fears of flying, for those of us who were there, the show was even more eventful. In addition to meeting people, the staffs of all Primedia titles are generally making even more contacts and attempting to put together editorial stories on new products that have been recently released or will be released in the very near future. These editorial stories are what our readers will see a lot of in the coming year within the pages of Truckin'.
Encompassing nearly 3 million square feet of floor space, you can bet the staffs of all the magazines can become very tired just walking around this massive event. Yours truly was no exception. Each year, my feet literally blister up by the second day and I generally walk around with a limp the rest of the week, waiting for the blisters to pop. Do I love this? Well, yes and no. I hate the blisters, but I love the show. Do I have beefs with the show presentation and who is allowed into the event each and every year? Of course, but this will have to wait for a future editorial.
However, I think I got more accomplished this year because attendance was smaller, so the rest of the staff and I were able to spend more quality time talking to people than in years past. We also were able to present both the 2002 Truck of the Year and SUV of the Year trophies to General Motors who made it a clean sweep, as you have undoubtedly heard and read from our past two issues.
Guess what? The 2002 SEMA Show promises even more square footage than last year (great, my feet are already starting to feel it) with separate halls strictly for trucks and SUVs, (finally). The kicker to this event is that it is not open to the public (Why not, SEMA?). So about the only way to get into this epic event is to beg, borrow, or steal (although we discourage this sort of activity) a pass from a SEMA organization member. Trust me, it will be well worth the effort to get that pass, because once you are in, it becomes a virtual cornucopia of eye candy and fabulous truck and SUV parts and accessories. Let's see if SEMA reads this and takes us up on our idea of making the show open to the public so you all can see what we write about and talk about each year. Think SEMA will listen? Only time will tell.

Montana Rejects Plan to Use Gold Instead of U.S. Dollar
Montana's House of Representatives shot down a proposal that would have allowed the state to electronically trade gold instead of exchanging dollars. The proposal was hailed as "the first step toward an honest money system" or ridiculed "as another conservative move toward state secession."
From Bloomberg:
Republican Rep. Bob Wagner - who introduced the measure - said his proposal would require the Montana state government to trade with some taxpayers and contractors in units of gold, starting with those who pay taxes on tobacco products. Supporters say the new currency exchange would be "separate and parallel" to the traditional exchange of federal notes.
Supporters argue that the measure has nothing to do with secession. They say the federal currency is doomed without sound backing and states can help push the system back to a gold standard by unilaterally trading in gold.
Wagner fought off accusations that he would like to see Montana actually secede from the United States.
"Does that (proposal) mean secession? Not necessarily. I do not support or endorse secession," Wagner said.+11

Financial institutions are once again accepting gold as collateral for their clients. Gold, or fiat paper? Which would you prefer?

When Orlando Gough told the singers in The Shout, the choir he founded with Richard Chew, that he wanted to do a Christmas show, they were "excited for all the wrong reasons", he says. "They thought we were going to do a panto, and they immediately went into a great thing about who would be Prince Charming. When we told them we would actually be doing a cross between a cabaret and a carol service, I don't think they were disappointed. At least, they were polite enough not to let it show."
Gough admits he has always been "very ambivalent about Christmas". But it struck him that if he used the different cultures, religions, languages and personalities of the 15-strong a cappella choir as the basis for a Christmas show, the results could be intriguing. In A Day in the Life (at the Komedia, Brighton tonight and then touring -www.theshout.org), a Sri Lankan singer sings a hymn in praise of the Virgin Mary in Tamil, while another reads a Christmas wishlist drawn up by Gough's son Milo, requesting a "ping pong racket (not the same as Daddy's)" and a "parka with lots of fur".
This mining of personal material is typical of The Shout's work. So is the engaging scattergun approach: the choir also sing a version of The Pet Shop Boys' S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G. and write on a wall the 40 Inuit words for snow. To link the songs, Gough trawled the archives for Christmas Day diary entries: these include Robert Scott mourning a drowned dog in Antarctica, 1912; Sophia Litwinska writing from Auschwitz in 1941; and Jean Cocteau responding to a journalist's impertinent question about what he might like to have hanging on his Christmas tree with the reply - "journalists".
The Shout's spirited approach has made them unique in an otherwise rather staid choral scene. Their risks have paid off: previous work has included Tall Stories, their paean to the birth of New York, in which the singers constructed skyscrapers on stage, and The Shouting Fence about a village on the Israel-Egypt border where separated friends and relations have to shout their gossip across 50 metres of no man's land. With A Day in the Life, Gough has set himself another challenge. He hopes, he says, "that people for whom the very idea of Christmas makes them sick might enjoy this show."

That's what Obamacare regulations require.
New Obamacare regulations targeting the fast food and grocery store market that require signs detailing calorie and nutritional information on every product will force pizza makers like Domino's to post up to 34 million different signs in every store: One for every possible pizza order.
"It's not like a Big Mac. Pizza is customizable, there are options to factor in," said Jenny Fouracre-Petko, legislative director for Domino's and a member of the trade group American Pizza Community. "There are 34 million pizza combinations. We've done the math."
Ditto for the grocery stores, which are shifting to providing more fresh made and baked goods, said Erik Lieberman, counsel for the Food Marketing Institute.
Regulators are idiots. Not because their regulations result in marketplace chaos like this. They are idiots because they believe they can write regulations for tens of millions of business and hundreds of millions of consumers making billions of decisions a day and shit like this won't happen. Worse than idiots, they are arrogant idiots.
Of course, if changes aren't made, Pizza joints will be forced to offer five or six types of pizza with no ingredient substitutions. Don't like onions? Too bad. The Leviathan says they have to be included.
Drip, drip, drip… Let's read de Tocqueville one more time.
Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd.

What Are the Next Big Developer Skills?
- May 21, 2014
- Job Hunting
- 8
The latest data from Dice suggests that employers want software developers who're experts in well-established technologies such as .NET, C++, and HTML. But IT is a rapidly evolving field, which begs the question—what will the employers of tomorrow want, skills-wise, from developers?
Before taking a stab at that question, it's worth examining the particular skills currently in demand by employers. On Dice, hiring managers searched thousands of times between January 1 and April 15 of this year for software developers, engineers, architects and leads. Of the most sought-after skills and qualifications for those roles, the top 40 included:
|1. Java/J2EE
|5. Senior
|9. Web
|10. Linux
|12. JavaScript
|14. Python
|15. Test, Tester, Testing
|16. Embedded
|18. Oracle
|21. SharePoint
|22. Unix
|24. Mobile
|25. Ruby
|26. Security
|27. Database
|29. Perl
|30. Agile
|31. Android
|33. Computer Science
|34. Network
|35. iOS
|36. Websphere
|37. Spring
"Today's biggest needs surround the core, but it will change as the next generation of technologies realize their promise," wrote Shravan Goli, president of Dice. What are those next-generation technologies? Let's take a look at some emerging trends:
Wearable Electronics: If the rise of smartphones helped define the last decade, the nascent field of wearable electronics—including "smart watches," as well as bracelets and earbuds capable of measuring biometrics—could very well influence how we live and work over the next 10 years. If those electronics transform into a burgeoning market on the scale of tablets or smartphones, thousands of app developers could profit from building software for even tinier screens, or even no screens at all.
Wearable electronics could present some fascinating UI puzzles for anyone willing to take them on. For example, what's the ideal icon for conveying to a "smart bracelet" wearer that they have 10 urgent emails waiting for them? Can you build a map for display on the inside of a sunglass lens that doesn't distract a driver from the road? The tech pro capable of executing on such ideas (and many more) may profit immensely in this category.
"Internet of Things": Manufacturers will produce just over 6 billion Internet-enabled devices in 2014, and the general expectation is that billions more will appear over the next several years. Picture all those devices streaming data back to companies for analysis, and you'll have some idea of the opportunities that await those developers and engineers with expertise in sensors, embedded systems, and Big Data applications capable of digesting unstructured data generated by hardware in the "real world." Substantial investment in "Internet of Things" startups has already begun.
Drones and Robots: Google has acquired seven robotics firms over the past twelve months. Facebook is reportedly interested in flying drones that can help extend the Internet to the developing world. Tech firms' interest in weaving robots and drones into the fabric of everyday life could generate jobs in everything from robotics design and engineering to software support.
In other words, this Top 40 list could look very different in a few years.

Since when did 'senior' become a skill?
Touche CHEWTOY. Big Data isn't there yet. I know no one who'd run out and get "test, tester or testing" skills for their next big job doing… test. This is big data without BI.
I'd be more interested in seeing trend lines. This seems like a single point in time sort of thing. What would be more helpful, I think, is to see the rate of change in the skills being sought. For example maybe C# used to be the #7 most sought skill in 2013, but now in 2014 it is #4. That would indicate to me that perhaps it would be worth looking at developing that skill further for potential future job opportunities.
Interesting article, but why are C# and .NET listed as separate skills?
What is Senior? Probably a prefix of a job position (like senior developer) that escaped editing and does not belong to the list.
Just getting one or two under your belt is a skill set!
Two years I had 1/2 of those 40 keywords on my CV and I rarely would get a call…
Not sure how the job market is doing today.
Again, off-shoring jobs can take place even by actually never creating the position in North America.
That's something we get no info on this sites, and on most of the sites actually.

�Only surpassed by Howard Dean, this was the biggest gift we�ve gotten,� said David Winston, a Republican strategist. "This puts the Democratic leadership on notice that they�re throwing stones in a glass house,� said Kevin Madden, spokesman for House Majority leader John Boehner. �This is the pinnacle,� Carl Forti, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, rejoiced.
The GOP has reason to be happy. Through April, Mollohan faced mounting allegations in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times that he had routed as much as $250 million of federal money to nonprofits he set up, employees and contractors of which in turn funneled money to his campaigns. He had also been accused of underreporting real estate holdings on his personal financial disclosure forms. Mollohan has denied wrongdoing.
Losing a leader to scandal is never good, but Mollohan�s fall undermines a key pillar of the Democratic efforts to take back the House and Senate in November. Democrats have invested time and money pushing the idea of what they call the "Republican culture of corruption" as exemplified by the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal and the fall of former House Majority Leader Tom Delay. �[Ethics] had been an important strategic element of the campaign,� says Winston, and with Mollohan�s troubles, �It just got incredibly difficult for them to play that card."
Democrats insist that Mollohan's fall does not neutralize their corruption attacks against the GOP. �That�s wishful thinking on their part,� says Brendan Daly, the spokesman for House Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi. Counterattacking, Pelosi has criticized a watered-down lobbying reform bill House Republicans introduced this week that only temporarily bans private funding of House member travel and allows private interest groups to pay for meals and flights on corporate jets. She's also linking two hot-button issues to corruption: gas prices and prescription drugs. �People know that Republicans are in charge in Washington and the culture of corruption is costing them whether it�s at the gas pump or in the prescription drug bill,� Daly says.
But Democrats have missed an opportunity to make the point that they don�t tolerate corruption. During the House banking scandal in 1994, Newt Gingrich went after Republican check kiters aggressively in an attempt to regain credibility. This time around, the Democrats have chosen to defend Mollohan, rather than hang him out to dry. Pelosi says she has the "highest regard" for Mollohan. And even though party leaders had to push him out quietly behind the scenes, they're supporting the charade that he stepped down on his own.
No matter how the Dems try to spin it, Mollohan's fall may have come just in time for Republicans. Congress is bracing for the possibility of another round of Abramoff-related news. Bob Ney, Republican of Ohio and his former Chief of Staff Neil Volz both signed waivers last fall extending for six months the statute of limitations on any potential crimes relating to Abramoff; that deadline comes this weekend, and there is much speculation among those who follow the corruption scandal that the first Abramoff-related indictment of a sitting Congressman may be around the corner. And everyone is holding their breath to see if Tom DeLay's former Chief of Staff, Ed Buckham, is indicted which could ultimately bring another two or three Republican congressmen into the mix.
If that happens, the GOP has a ready-made answer, and his name is Alan Mollohan. �Everytime they bring [ethics] up they're going to face it,� says Winston. So even if you didn't catch his name the first time around, you're likely to hear the story of Alan Mollohan's dismal exit from the House ethics committee many more times in the coming months.

Matsuzaka impressive vs. Marlins
Matsuzaka impressive vs. Marlins
When Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek walked out to the mound in Tuesday's second inning, Matsuzaka was in a jam. The Marlins had runners on second and third with one out and the count was 1-2 on Scott Seabol. In English, Varitek asked Matsuzaka for a front-door slider.
Matsuzaka nodded affirmatively and then went to work. Not only did he understand what Varitek asked him to do, but he buried the pitch, striking out Seabol looking.
"Well, I just wanted to give him an awareness of what I thought he needed to do right there," said Varitek. "He actually understood me, which I wasn't sure, but we still went through the finger signs to make sure. He made a good pitch."
And make no mistake about it, that pitcher-catcher communication was the most relevant moment in Matsuzaka's first exhibition start against a Major League team. Over three innings, Matsuzaka allowed two hits, walked one and struck out three. Of his 47 pitches, 31 were strikes. Matsuzaka didn't allow a run.
Communication is going to be essential to his early-season success, and that's why Varitek and Matsuzaka have been putting so much time into it.
"I put it where he told me to throw it and that was the result," said Matsuzaka through his translator. "I think that particular pitch was a typical example of how I'm going to need to work with Varitek, confirming my pitches, confirming my deliveries as we go forward. As for the pitch itself, maybe I'm not overly happy with it, but I know it's something I can work on and feel encouraged about."
After the key strikeout, Matsuzaka got Eric Reed on a first-pitch, bunt popout to emerge unscathed.
When Matsuzaka gets in a jam, he doesn't treat the situation lightly, even in Spring Training.
"This being my first year, I'm trying to focus on if I allow a runner to get on base, then to keep them there and prevent them from scoring," Matsuzaka said. "That's sort of exactly how I'd like to go on to the regular season as well. If I do get myself into a tight situation like I did in the second, I'm sort of really focused on holding the runners and finishing out the inning."
That's a trait that will suit Matsuzaka well, no matter what country he's pitching in.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
Fresh off his two shutout innings against Boston College four days ago, Matsuzaka once again broke out his entire arsenal of pitches.
According to a scout stationed behind home plate, Matsuzaka's fastball ranged from 91-93 mph. His curve was between 74-77 mph. The slider stayed between 81-82 mph. Matsuzaka's changeup fluctuated between 76-81 mph.
When he departed, the Red Sox led by a score of 1-0.
Matsuzaka's next start will come on Sunday at City of Palms Park against the Orioles.
"I thought his velocity was good," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "Again, it's his second Spring Training outing. I thought he came off a couple changeups, but overall I thought he really threw the ball pretty well. He had to work out of the stretch a little bit, which was good."
As good as the end result seemed, Matsuzaka made it clear that like a lot of pitchers this time of year, he's far from at his best.
"I think it's something that my degree of readiness for the season is very difficult to judge from the outside," Matsuzaka said. "It's something I really have to understand within myself. To give you an estimate of where I rate myself, I'd probably say I'm 40-50 percent there."
The Marlins had a different take on the matter.
"I'm glad he's in the American League," said Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez.
"His slider is nasty," Marlins catcher Miguel Olivo. "With men on, he works faster."
The moment Matsuzaka needed to be quickest on his feet came when Ramirez scorched a line drive back through the box. Matsuzaka, making like a hockey goalie, produced a neck-high, glove save.
"I've been working with the manager and the coaches, doing a lot of infield practice," Matsuzaka said. "I think you saw the result of that practice paying off today."
The day was a success in the minds of all the vital parties.
"It was good," said Varitek. "I still think he's progressing, just like all the other pitches. He made some really good pitches today, threw some really good changeups, threw some really good sliders."

Birthdays are always exciting but first birthdays — those are the ones you really remember. It's been a bit bittersweet as we've come up on my daughter's first birthday.
Even though we've been through "first years" with each of my boys, having a daughter is a new experience so we've had a huge year of firsts.
I've been having fun brainstorming first birthday party themes for girls since my only previous experience with birthdays has involved trucks, balls, and action heroes.
Since my little girl clearly already prefers balls to dolls so this may be the only chance I get to dream about super girly birthday party themes.
After scouring Pinterest and Etsy I decided on my favorite birthday party theme for a baby girl — Pink Lemonade.
How cute is that?
I love the idea that a pink lemonade birthday party theme is just a bit retro and very girly without being over the top.
Pink Lemonade First Birthday Invitations
I love using party invitations as a way to document major life events. Yes, you could send out an online invitation to your family and friends but you won't have anything to throw in a baby book afterwards. These invitations from LemonadeDesignStudio are super sweet and can be paired with a fun lemonade themed photo shoot for a memorable keepsake.
Simple Lemon Themed Decorations
I've mentioned before how uncrafty I am, which is why I love simple decorating ideas that don't require any particular skill on my part. Tall glass containers filled with lemons make a beautiful center piece for your table and are a great way to coordinate with the pink lemonade theme. Spread a few lemons across the table at the base of your glass containers for an added pop of color.
Pink Lemonade Cake
I have a serious weakness for lemon cake. It's second only to chocolate, which if you know me, chocolate always comes first so to even be tempted by anything else is saying something. We have a favorite recipe for pink lemonade cake that my son requests every year on his birthday. We tease him that he always has a pink birthday cake but it really is delicious. Our recipe is very similar to this pink lemonade cake recipe by Crafty Corner. If you want to avoid food coloring, you can substitute in a small amount of beet juice for the red food coloring.
Lemonade Stand Pretend Play
I love, love, love pretend play activities. While a one year old may be a bit young to really participate in pretend play it's definitely not too early to explore some fun pretend play toys. I love this adorable toy lemonade stand featured on The Burrus Family Blog. If you have someone who likes to build things in your house, this would be a really cute homemade birthday gift for your one year old and it makes for adorable pictures!
What is your favorite first birthday theme for a baby girl?

This rodeo is hog heaven.
The Coppell Police Department has been putting on a police motorcycle rodeo for six years, drawing police officers from across the state who want to test themselves in a competition of skill, speed and precision.
The competition isn't just for fun; it's also a way officers can further hone their driving skills.
"When you put it in front of the civilians, you put it in front of each others' peers, you put it in front of a clock, that's the closest way to replicate what it's like to run lights and sirens after somebody when you don't know them or what their intentions are when you're stopping them," Coppell police officer and event organizer Josh Jackson said.
The 2014 rodeo took place March 20-22 at the Grapevine Mills Mall in Grapevine, with participating officers taking the first two days to navigate and learn the intense patterns of the competition. The last day involved timed laps of the course, as well as a public bike show.
The rodeo began in 2009, when Coppell's motorcycle unit wanted to build a memorial wall for two fallen officers: Donald Swearingin and Michael Johns. Johns was killed during a traffic stop near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in 2001 when he was pulling a car over and his motorcycle collided with another car. Swearingin died in 1972 during a pursuit when his patrol car went out of control and hit a tree.
The motorcycle rodeo idea was a hit with the department.
"We wanted to build a wall to honor them, and the chief at the time really liked it and said 'Let's keep this going,'" Jackson said. "So we took over sponsoring an event benefitting MetroplexCOPS."
Jackson said the 2014 competition was expected to draw about 7,000 spectators. Seventy riders from across Texas participated in the competition's events this year, which was nearly triple the rodeo's initial 25 competitors at the 2009 event.
This year the department decided to partner with the Grapevine Police Department.
"The event had just gotten so big that we wanted to make sure we got it right," Jackson said. "We needed extra help and all hands on deck, so we asked Grapevine to be a part of it."
The event has helped raise more than $76,000 for MetroplexCOPS. And because the event has grown, so has its charitable giving. This year's rodeo supported six charities: MetroplexCOPS, Remember the Fallen Heroes, Grapevine Shield, Russ Martin Listener Foundation, North Texas Shield Foundation and Team Texas.
All of the charities support injured or fallen police officers and their families.
"The first year was around $10,000," said Capt. Tony Pletcher of the Coppell Police Department. "The figures have gone up to more than we could ever imagine."
For Karen Freeto, the annual motorcycle rodeo is a way to raise awareness and support. Freeto is president of MetroplexCOPS, which offers grief support for suriving spouses, parents, children, siblings and coworkers of fallen officers. The group is a local chapter of the larger Concerns of Police Survivors organization.
"It gets a lot of law enforcement agencies here to see who we are and it lets their families know that we are here if something happens," Freeto said.
Freeto's husband Dwayne was a Fort Worth police officer when he was killed in an accident in 2006.
COPS provides specialized grief counseling, separating out those who are affected by an officer's death by relationships so that survivors can help each other tackle the issues that they're going through.
Freeto says COPS is all about survivors helping other survivors.
"We've all gone through the same thing," she said.
Irving/Coppell neighborsgo editor Meredith Shamburger can be reached at 214-977-8292.

Will I need to stay up at my computer until after midnight on Nov 4? Or will it be safe to wake up at a normal hour, say 8:00 in the morning? I am going to be so bummed if I don't get tickets!

Getting Wicd on Ubuntu
Please assume the most basic of Linux knowledge!!!!: I'm trying to get wicd on Ubuntu 9.04, but I can't find anywhere to download it from. Lots of the forums mention sudo blah blah.... but I don't know where to type the stuff!!
One of the forums posted a comprehensive step-by-step how-to, but it mentioned something about installing a wicd key, where would I find this?
Also what was mentioned was gutsey, hardy, jaunty etc. I guessed that these must be the names of different Ubuntu distributions, how do I find out which one mine is?
I took this quote right from their website:
"Wicd is an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux which aims to provide a simple interface to connect to networks with a wide variety of settings."
Simple enough answer to install wicd on Jaunty.
Go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.
It will ask for your password. Give it. Click on the search button to open up a text box. Type wicd there to search for it.
It will find it for you.
Click on and mark it for install. Click Apply for install it.
Thats it. Wicd is installed on your Jaunty.
I search for it in the quick search box and it doesn't come up. Then I search for it in the pop-out search window, and it finds it. However it does not allow me to install it! I can't find the WICD thing anywhere to download (via the Vista side of the partition)!
I tried updating and installing it through the Terminal window (yes I am aware of the Microsoft terminology! lol) but it does not like my wireless internet (hence why I wanted WICD). It does not seem that WICD is included on my version of Ubuntu.
So is there anywhere I can get WICD on it's own?
Otherwise cat /etc/apt/sources.list (in a terminal) and look for references to hardy jaunty etc. (and please tell us what you found).
If you are still having trouble, connect yourself with an ethernet cable (OK, maybe you have to MOVE hardware around, just do it, it's good exercise).
Connect it up, boot, you will almost certainly be connected.
Then you can get the downloads you need to get your wireless working.
For wicd Johnnie J gave you the right link in post #2
I may have to! But it's sooooo much effort!! I would just love there to be a solution that does not involve moving my computer to be in reach of the ethernet cable!
Download wicd
Unfortunately, I followed instructions I found elsewhere which said I had to uninstall the network-manager. Having done this, I now have no network connection at all, wired or wireless.
I'm running Lucid Lynx, and have the Atheros AR5001 wireless, which I have been completely unable to get to work. Anybody ahve an idea if wicd will do it, and if so, how can I download it to another computer, put on a flash drive, and get working on my crippled machine?
If your Atheros does not work with network manager, it will not work with wicd either. It is a driver/module issue.
I did a quick Google search for you and this was the first hit, hope it helps resolve the issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9287770
If you'd like NM back you can probably just do
sudo apt-get install network-manager
as all the needed files should still be in apt's cache, and it will not need a net connection.
snowpine's link for getting your wireless working looks a good one.
Good luck.
I appreciate the responses. That's one thing I am not getting on other sites.
Unfortunately, having removed network manager, I no longer have the option of plugging in the cat 5 and using wired. Losing NM cost me the wired network. What I was trying to do was get the wireless working for when I take my laptop on the road.
I appreciate the link. I've been following similar ones on other sites and have done the backports and the modprobe without success. Madwifi doesn't seem to be a solution. The upgraded driver from the Madwifi project is the ath5k driver that is loaded now in my machine.
There is an ath9k driver that I thought I might try, although I don't see how that is likely to solve the problem. My card is the AR5001 and if the 5k driver won't work, why should the 9k driver work? But I do appreciate the opinion that wicd won't work if network-manager doesn't, since neither address the probable driver issue. I'm afraid I have no choice but to try, assuming I can get some kind of network manager reloaded so I again have my wired connection.
I am surprised this isn't a more common problem and I was hoping someone else had seen and solved it. HP laptops like mine (DV7-1451nr) are powerful and relatively inexpensive.
Thanks again,
ping -c 127.0.0.1
Is your ethernet working?
I did manage to get network-manager back, using the installation CD and synaptic package manager. Still no wireless, but at least I'm back where I started.
Network manager is back up, so I have wired. The GUI did not reinstall, but Synaptic is back to functional, so I can go get it. Having no other options, I'm still going to try wicd, to remove it from consideration if nothing else. Meanwhile, I unfortunately have to go to work. Appreciate your note and hope to return this evening and read something new I can try.

previously could you start wicd?
What was the problem you faced with wicd?
I dunno about network manager
After installing wicd, I uninstalled network manger
sudo apt-get remove network-manager
sudo /etc/init.d/wicd restart
I restarted my comp and it worked.
I haven't tried wicd yet. This evening, thats my next step, i.e. get wicd then remove nm, then see what happens. At least it will remove it from consideration.
Assuming the problem is the driver ... I've been reading about this and the only options appear to be getting another driver or using the wrapper that enables PC driver use. I can't find an indicator that there is a better driver than ath5k, which is one of the results of the madwifi project, except perhaps ath9k. Likewise I read that using the ndis wrapper means you have to redo it every time you upgrade your system. That just doesn't seem reasonable.
So, the remaining option I have read about is getting another wifi card, from a vendor that supports linux. Question: Do you have a recommendation? (Anybody reading this thread have a suggested card?) I'm rapidly reaching the point where spending $20 on a new card to solve this forever is looking best.

Tesla Roadster Trumps Supercars in Drag Race
Plenty of exotic supercars made their way to Russ Beach Smith Falls Airport to take part in the 'Race the Runway 2012′ charity event that raises money for the Russ Beach Smith Falls-Montague Aviation Museum. At the event, millions of dollars worth of exotics took part in a 1/4-mile drag race on the paved runway, with an electric Tesla Roadster turning in the best time of the day.
The Tesla Roadster ran an impressive 10.39 seconds in the quarter mile and bested the likes of a Nissan GT-R (11.536), Ford GT (11.691), Dodge Viper ACR (12.023), a Porsche Carrera GT (12.273), and even a Ferrari Cailfornia (12.639). Of course most of those vehicles listed aren't made to go fast in a straight line, but other things to take into account is driver experience and traction, two main components of a fast e.t. in drag racing.
That's not to say the time wasn't impressive for the electric convertible. Any 10-second car is a fast one, but let's not jump to any hasty conclusions that the Tesla Roadster would outperform a GT-R or a Viper on a road course.

Finance / Blue Monday costing the UK economy £93 billion
Blue Monday costing the UK economy £93 billion
18 January 2016 |
Blue Monday, the third Monday in January is supposedly the most depressing day of the year. It is estimated to have cost the UK economy £93 billion.
According to studies, lack of sleep can have a profound impact on moods, performance at work and undeniably is linked to depression. It is possible a good night's sleep could minimise the impact Blue Monday has on employees and business.
Professor Colin Espie, world sleep expert from the University of Oxford and co-founder of Sleepio, said: "Sleep affects us on various levels – mentally, emotionally and physically – so when we have had no or insufficient sleep, we feel the consequences.
"Physically we will feel lethargic and drained, mentally we become slowed down with poorer concentration and memory, and emotionally we may become irritable and depressed, with bursts of hyperactivity."
Espie has been measuring the world's sleep since March 2010 through the Great British Sleep Survey and the World Sleep Survey.
He said: "In fact, sleep problems affect one in 3 of us in the UK at any one time, and about 10 per cent of the population on a chronic basis, with energy levels (60 per cent), mood (48 per cent), relationships with other people (35 per cent) and physical health (28 per cent) cited in the World Sleep Survey as the areas most impacted by poor sleep.
"The preliminary information from the first World Sleep Survey also found that professionally, poor sleep is a productivity killer as each full-time employee in the UK on average loses eight and a half work days every year due specifically to poor sleep.
"Respondents to the survey chose concentration (46 per cent), ability to complete work (38 per cent) and ability to stay awake during the day (27 per cent) as the three top issues affecting their productivity after a night of poor sleep."
"Employers are now also starting to wake up to the importance that sleep has in their employees' lives, especially as poor sleep account for 24 per cent of the costs of workplace accidents.
"More companies are looking to offer their employees more than the standard subsidised gym membership or travel card. Helping to improve their sleep and thereby mental wellbeing is a critical part of this."

Coronation Street: Soap cast are worried that Weatherfield is becoming a blood bath
CORONATION Street stars are worried bosses are turning the cobbles red with blood after the soap's 17th violent death in four years.
They fear the soap, famous for its northern humour and quirky plots, is copying EastEnders in a bid to snatch ratings.
And fans agree the Weatherfield body count is too high after a string of killings, rapes, a lethal tram crash, a fatal fire and now Tina McIntyre, played by Michelle Keegan, becoming the latest resident to meet a grisly end.
Last night one senior cast member said: "It is getting ridiculous.
"The soap is just about the lives of a few people who live in a handful of streets but half the cast keep getting bumped off.
"And a lot of the remaining cast think it is too much.
"I know there have to be gritty storylines but there don't need to be quite so many of them and all the time."
He added: "Can you imagine living in a place like Weatherfield?
"It would be a ghost town because all the folk would have moved out due to the violence.
"There are favelas in Brazil that probably have a lower murder rate than Weatherfield.
"Death and destruction is not what Corrie is about.
"Leave that to EastEnders."
Viewers are also turning against the mayhem, with one fan writing on Twitter: "Chances of dying a violent death in coronation street must be about 1/3."
Another added: "Cannot actually get over Coronation Street. These soaps are so brutal and violent these days."
And on the Digital Spy forum a viewer wrote: "Come on Corrie get real. Nowhere is this violent – not even EastEnders."

The Street has seen 16 murders in its 54-year history but in the past four years the bodies have been piling up.
Joe McIntyre drowned in Lake Windermere while trying to fake his own death in February 2010.
Then Robbie Sloan was shot by Tony Gordon before the gunman died in a blaze in the Underworld factory.
In July 2010 Colin Fishwick's body was dumped in the charred ruins of the factory after he died arguing with John Stape.
December that year brought the tram disaster which claimed the lives of Ashley Peacock, Molly Dobbs and a taxi driver.
In the same month Charlotte Hoyle was murdered with a hammer by Stape.
In January 2011 Joy Fishwick died at the hands of Stape, suffering a heart attack when he covered her mouth to stop her screaming for help.
Two months later Frank Foster sexually assaulted Maria Connor in scenes so graphic they reduced actress Samia Ghadie to tears.
Then Edna Hargreaves perished under a hairdryer at Audrey's salon.
A few months later came the harrowing rape scene when Frank attacked Carla Connor.
And in October that same year Stape died in a car crash.
In March 2012 Frank was battered to death in the factory.
Lesley Kershaw died after putting a toaster in a sink two months later.
In March last year Toni Griffiths was killed in an explosion in the Rovers.
The same accident led to the death of Sunita Alahan in hospital after Karl Munro removed her breathing tube.
This January Hayley Cropper killed herself before being claimed by cancer.
And last month saw Tina murdered by Rob Donovan.
