Gov. Quinn To Halt Lawmaker Pay
Gov. Pat Quinn is using his veto power to try and suspend state lawmakers' pay because of their inaction on Illinois' pension crisis.
The Chicago Democrat said there will be no paychecks for legislators until they get the job done.
"In this budget, there should be no paychecks for legislators until they get the job done on pension reform," Quinn said. "Pension reform is the most critical job for all of us in public office. I cannot in good conscience approve legislation that provides paychecks to legislators who are not doing their job for the taxpayers."
State Rep. Naomi Jakobsson (D-Urbana) predicted legislators will return to Springfield soon to override the governor's veto. She called Quinn's action 'petty,' saying he was pandering to voters. Jakobsson expected members of a conference committee to reach a pension solution soon.
"People have been working," she said. "And just because he didn't get what he wanted by the day that he wanted it doesn't mean people have not been working hard, been working earnestly, and trying to come up with the best bill that can be put together."
State Sen. Jason Barickman (R-Bloomington) agreed Quinn is trying to reach out to voters, but also cited concerns about Democrats.
"This is pointing out to the public yet again the utter dysfunction the majority party has," he said. "And unfortunately, they control all the levers of state government."
Two members of the bipartisan committee working to fix Illinois' $97 billion pension problem say Gov. Quinn's decision to cut legislator pay won't help the process.
Sen. Matt Murphy (R-Palatine) is a member of the 10-person panel. He called Quinn's actions Wednesday a "stunt'' and said they could inflame an already difficult situation.
Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D-Northbrook) is the committee's vice chairwoman. She said the pay cut does "nothing to move us toward a solution'' and is "an unnecessary distraction.''
Meanwhile, Illinois Comptroller Judy Barr Topinka said she would seek a legal review of Quinn's action.
"Specifically, Section 11 of our State Constitution states that 'changes in the salary of a member shall not take effect during the term for which he has been elected," said Topinka in a press release.
The state has nearly $100 billion in unfunded pension liability, the worst of any state.

It appears that Jones' final public concert was staged in Oklahoma. A Feb. 19 date with Thackerville's WinStar World Casino is the most recent show listed on the late singer's website. It's not yet confirmed that Jones played another public concert between the show at WinStar and his passing.
"Davy Jones provided our patrons with a quality experience each time he performed. We will miss his passion for entertaining on our stage," said Brian Zanazanian, senior marketing manager at WinStar World Casino. "Our condolences are sent to his family and loved ones."

Discussion in 'The Fire Hydrant' started by LauraLeigh, Jul 2, 2013.
He is so cute :rofl1: that last picture is just TOO MUCH! "Yes human?? Watcha lookin at?"
His info didn't type in! LOL
He's a card, he's a 22 year old whose owner passed on, he's not too good with being handled as his owner was afraid but he's getting better... His vocabulary is amazing and I truly adore these birds.. I hope to get a young grey again as well but prefer rehomes and young birds being rehomed are rare but I am always watching
Quick! Pin him on his back!
Teach him to sing!! He's really pretty. I feel like he should be addressed as Mr. Grumpy.
My dad's friend had an African Gray and one time we watched him at our house for a week while the friend was away. He was in the basement utility room where our big freezer is. My sister and I would go down there and get popsicles out of the freezer, and the popsicle company was running a promotion where if you had a popsicle stick that said "TRIP" on it, you won a trip to Florida. So my sister and I would eat our popsicles talking about how we hoped to find a "trip stick." (and never did of course, haha.)
The bird went back to his owner saying "Trip stick! Trip stick!" And of course this made no sense to my dad's friend, so he called wondering why we taught the bird to say "dipstick?" Oops, LOL.
Moral of the story... watch what you say around the bird. Even if it just sounds like it MIGHT be bad, LOL. Maybe don't teach him to say "duck."
LOL I can just picture that! He yells Yummy YUMMY YUMMY! When we eat anything..... It's hilarious! He also knows what's in the timbit donut box from Tim Hortons, and if he sees a Tim's box... He flaps about calling Timbits for the Timneh!!!! (He's a Timneh African Grey)
Congrats on Mr. Grumpy. He will definatly liven up your day. I would love to have a grey, But I'm not sure the husband could handle a grey in the house. Thats alot more bird than our senegal. LOL
Congrats! He's beautiful!
Greys have such an amazing vocabulary. The only one of our birds who actually says words is Yoda the Quaker.
Hurray for more Timnehs on the board! Mine is 18 and a devil, but still
He's recently discovered that the bowls in his cage are "replacement" stainless bowls that don't fit snug, and takes great pleasure in dumping them out and then banging them on his cage like a prisoner does in jail!!! Sigh!
Congrats on your new TAG. He is adorable. My friend has a CAG who is so good at saying many words.
We have a galah cockatoo. Vocabulary isn't as many numbered as a grey but ours is a talker. Big time. He doesn't scream but he talks so much and makes sound effects too. He is the goofiest clown
Parrots are cool. Check out this parrot forum if interested in learning more about them and interracting with parrot owners: http://forums.avianavenue.com/forum.php
I actually removed the dishes that came with his cage shortly after getting the cage years and years ago. He'd always dump his water and food and just make noise and mess. He eats in crock dishes on the bottom now, lol
Yoda is the only one of ours who I think would be interested in bowl dumping, and luckily his cage is designed with swinging bowl doors and you cannot remove the bowls without have the door open.
Wow, he's cool! Gorgeous bird.

The addition of Florida State defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt is already paying big dividends for Georgia.
The outstanding recruiter and the Dawgs picked up a commitment from ESPN Jr. 300 defensive back Rico McGraw (Nashville, Tenn./The Ensworth School) on Thursday.
Officially committed to the University of Georgia! Thank everyone who's been involved and supporting be. Go Dawgs! pic.twitter.com/C2kgqGakiz
— Rico McGraw (@LoveHateRico) January 17, 2014
McGraw, the No. 81 ranked prospect in 2015, picked Georgia over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, LSU and Ohio State, among others.
The 6-foot, 180-pound prospect gives Georgia two ESPN Jr. 300 commits in the 2015 class along with tight end Christian Owens (Griffin, Ga./Griffin).
The commitment also gives Pruitt his first commitment as a Dawg -- likely the first of many to come for the talented coach.

Camp Director
Lake Lundgren Bible Camp
Pembine, Wisconsin, United States
Lake Lundgren Bible Camp had its first week of summer camp in 1935 and that week was described as providing "a real wholesome good time" for those who attended. We may use different words today, but our desire is still the same as those who founded the camp. The camp is located near Pembine, WI with 120 acres on the north shore of Lake Lundgren amidst a stand of towering pines. The camp has grown to a year-round ministry serving about 4,000 guests annually over approximately 10,000 camper days. After directing the camp for more than 38 years, Mike Hryshkanych is making plans to retire. He and his wife, Ruth, are in the process of transitioning to their next phase of life as servants of Jesus Christ. His transition is creating an open position for a new Camp Director.
The Camp Director has the responsibility for 1.) modelling, upholding and communicating camp's Statement of Faith, i.e., Creed, as occasion permits and 2.) the design, implementation and evaluation of camp ministries and provides leadership for operations, promotion and fundraising. He will direct and manage a full, part-time and seasonal staff. This director will ensure the creation, development and ongoing effectiveness of all programs and activities through the assistance of qualified full-time missionary staff.
Candidates should have a Bachelor's degree and at least five years Christian camping experience, or the equivalent (seminary training desirable); possess proven public relations and fundraising skills; have experience in camp operations management, or the equivalent, including oversight of budgets; demonstrated effective interpersonal skills (shepherding skill desirable); possess strong conceptual and visionary competence; and most importantly have an active faith in in Jesus Christ and desire to see campers come to know and grow in Him.
Interested candidates should visit http://www.llbc.org/new/campdirectorposition to find a general information letter, a job description for the Camp Director position, a Ministry Description, a Board of Directors Narrative, an overview of benefits, an organizational chart, this year's operating budget, and an application form. Applicants are requested to use the application form on camp's website, and not apply through the ChristianJobs application system. Applications must be received by May 15, 2014.
About Lake Lundgren Bible Camp
The purpose of Lake Lundgren Bible Camp is to glorify God through a spiritual and educational ministry of leading people into a saving faith in Jesus Christ and of developing Christian character through Biblical teaching, quiet reflection, and guided recreation in a camping atmosphere. More...

Speedy at the track
Speedy is a late starter, he is back is on the track when the season practically is over. After tree weekends riding the dirt he has broke his record, by not wrecking the bike. Speedy has one unbeatable record on a speedway bike, to crash every third heat he raced. But something has happen?? What it is we don't have a clue but the audience is disappointed, before when Speedy's name was announced in the speakers everybody was gathered around the track, to see the next crash. Speedy's old mechanic Peter wasn't counting points, because it wasn't that many to keep track on, he was counting the costs of all the fucked up parts that was wrecked, and it was a lot. Peter did't care about Speedys broken bones, once Speedy crashed Peter quickly ran down to the track to look after the...bike...?!
God old days, TNX Peter for your patience LOVE!
//P:Belladonna is back on the track

MARCEL BOUCHER Cream Enamel Hinged Clamper Cuff Watch Bracelet is a great piece from one of the masters of costume jewelry. It measures approximately 6 3/4 inches closed, with a push in tongue closure. I am not sure if the watch works properly, but it says it is a 17 jewel watch, so it may be repairable. It's great just as a design piece. There is a gold tone zipper detail on one side of the band. Signed on the face of the watch "Marcel Boucher".

About the Book
Eula, Idaho, is a cluster of steeples, oak trees, and boxlike homes sandwiched between golden fields and a wide-open sky. It freezes in the winter and bakes in the summer, but the air is so dry that neither extreme gets under your skin. It has never seen a battle, or an earthquake, or a Democrat in City Hall.
Still, life in Eula is anything but simple.
Lina and Connie are single mothers, neighbors in Eula's trailer park. Lina, the daughter of migrant Mexican farm workers, is trying to cope with her angry teenage son Jesús, newly returned after living with wealthy white foster parents. Connie, long abandoned, struggles with her literal reading of Old Testament laws against remarriage, especially when a handsome missionary visits her congregation. The women's younger sons, Enrique and Gene, are misfits whose mutual love of science offers stability and respite from schoolyard cruelties.
Determined to win the statewide science fair, Enrique and Gene devise an experiment involving "lake overturn," a real scientific phenomenon in which deadly gases collect and eventually erupt from a lake's depths. In their quest to discover if Eula could suffer from such an event, the boys come into contact with an odd assortment of locals, including the frail-hearted school principal with grand ambitions, a rich but lonely lawyer who finds love outside his marriage just as his wife is succumbing to cancer, and a woman tortured by a past of abuse and addiction who decides to turn things around by offering herself as a surrogate mother.
With sweeping perspective and a Victorian wealth of character, Lake Overturn exposes small-town America in all its beauty and treachery, sunshine and secrets.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"A vast, intricate lattice of relationships, reminiscent of the novels of Richard Russo. . . . McIntyre is an honest enough artist that he [is] . . . capable of handling even the most noxious elements when he stirs his American backwater." — Washington Post
"Striking. . . . An author is lucky to bring one character so vividly to life: the gifted McIntyre...has done it for all of his. It may seem odd praise for a writer, but it's among the highest: as you drink in this book, you barely notice the words." — New York Times Book Review
"Lake Overturn is a lovingly rendered portrait of small-town America. Vestal McIntyre knows his people intimately—how they speak, their manners and customs; but, most importantly, he knows their troubled hearts, and he plumbs the depths of those hearts with remarkable empathy and wisdom." — Ron Rash, author of Serena
"Reading Vestal McIntyre's deliriously ambrosial novel is like entering reader's heaven. Constantly surprising. . . . I loved it." — Peter Cameron, award-winning author of The City of Your Final Destination
"What a great relief [it is] to read Vestal McIntyre's splendid first novel. . . . Lake Overturn is loving and searing and sad and, above all, a pleasure to read." — Adam Haslett, author of You Are Not a Stranger Here
"Every character in [Lake Overturn] is so real, complex, and interesting, the scope of the novel at once so wide and so deep, the themes and ideas so thoroughly embodied by the story, I felt as if I were reading a modern-day Middlemarch." — Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author of The Great Man
"[Keeps] us engrossed from the beginning. . . . He illuminates with humor and sympathy the mundane lives of a group of vivid characters." — Library Journal
"Richly imagined and fully realized, Overturn has given us what we didn't know we were waiting for: the next Great Idahoan Novel." — Out Magazine
"This astonishing novel — a great big captivating, multi-character drama set in Eula, Idaho — has McIntyre juggling a half-dozen intersecting plots and people with extraordinary grace." — Philadelphia Gay News
"[A] nicely handled exploration of the world's effect on the tightly woven life of a small town driven by faith." — Denver Post
"[A] deliriously colorful and deliciously engrossing tapestry of a small-town's depressing poverty, pointless pettiness, quirky rivalries, domestic infidelities, desperate drug use, onerous class and race divisions – and occasional quiet, sentimental triumphs." — Q Syndicate
A Best Book of 2009 — Washington Post Book World

Album Rating: 2.0This is an perfect example of a band selling out and losing their flare.
Their S/T album introduced me to the realm of post-hardcore and I ate up Watch Out! as well for my love of em.
But years later when they released this shit, I knew the AOF I loved had died and now we'd be getting tracks meant for radio with vocals screamed but audiable.
But oh well you can have em, mainstream, I was practically done with em anyways.
Oh BTW no matter how much Cocaine bashs em, I've seen him live 4 times, twice as AOF and twice as C&C.
He was far better live in C&C but no where close to as bad as Cocaine is saying.
It's a great album, I love that they downplayed Dallas, because he has an awful voice.
Album Rating: 4.0I just heard it all today, maybe I'm over-reacting...
But this is really...really good.
Album Rating: 2.0You def are cause this is a load of mainstream aimed bullshit.
But then again you're digging Gwen Stacy so you'll love this.

And Ya Dave can shred harder then any of your favourite bands listed.[/quote]
Everything you just said was wrong.
Album Rating: 2.0What are you, the Wrong Police?
You don't think Dave is a great guitarist, fuc k I'd put him ahead of Ben (DEP).
Album Rating: 3.5[quote=highanddriving]What are you, the Wrong Police?
You don't think Dave is a great guitarist, fuc k I'd put him ahead of Ben (DEP).
Dave doesn't shred. He doesn't do anything that remotely resembles shredding, and saying anything of the contrary is ridiculous.
Album Rating: 2.0Oh lol your getting technical on me eh?
"Riffs harder"
There you happy but seriously you know what's ridiculous giving Alesena a rating of 4, so don't tell me what's ridiculous.
JKS....well kind of.
Album Rating: 3.5[quote=highanddriving]you know what's ridiculous giving Alesena a rating of 4, so don't tell me what's ridiculous.[/quote]
Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous of me to give an album a rating based on my enjoyment of it. This conversation is over.
On a related note, This Conversation is Over is a good song.
Album Rating: 2.0Lol the conversation shouldn't have even started.
You're a funny one.

To some.
This could be anywhere in the world is a great song.
Good review
This Message Edited On 03.30.08
Alexisonfire are probably my favourite modern band, Watch Out! is an incredible album, they're first is almost as good, and this new one is excellent too. I love the singing, but i think Dallas has a much better voice, the three of them should do vocals 2gether more often.
And this band could never be mainstream, ne1 who thinks so should go and die:P
Album Rating: 3.0Average Band. They are mainstream^
EDIT: Also Dallas's voice has the ability to kill me anyway so i'll go ahead and called them mainstream as much as i want.This Message Edited On 05.23.08
Album Rating: 2.0^Thanks for the laugh.
Album Rating: 3.0This is probably my least favourie AOF cd, but it has a lot of good points. Overall it's a really solid album, but some tracks do drag on a bit which slows down the pace of the album ("This could be anywhere in the world", "Rough Hands"). Something which they have acheived with this album is creating an effective blend of the vocals which while creating catchy melodies also gives the album an edge.

Troubling nailing elusive virus
I'm fairly confident that my Windows 7 machine has been compromised.
Here are some funny things my computer has been doing:
- My keyboard has been acting strange. Some keys don't work.
- If I sit here and do not touch anything, the start menu will pop up as if I had pressed the Windows key on my keyboard.
- My WoW account and email account were hacked
- I left my computer running to download a large game patch today and, when I came home from work, found that the Windows virtual keyboard had been enabled.
- If I set my Windows power settings to shut the computer off after a certain amount of time of no activity, it will not shut off. Same for the monitor setting.
It's a bit puzzling as I'm a fairly savvy user and I don't use this machine for anything but gaming. I have probably logged into Facebook and Hotmail a few times, but other than that I hardly do any browsing. My primary computer is my laptop.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything! Here are the steps I have taken:
- Ran Microsoft Security Essentials
- Ran Lavasoft Ad-Aware (found cookies, nothing else)
- Ran bidefender rescue (bootable anti-virus that boots from CD)
None of these have found anything. I also have a laptop, which runs OS X, but I do not feel this has been compromised. However, I'm currently running some AV software to be sure.
Does anyone have any ideas?

TDSSKiller, HitmanPro and Malwarebytes have yielded nothing.
Is there a chance the Ease of Access Center could be opened via keyboard shortcuts? My keyboard does have some sticky keys (yay Mountain Dew) and could be the cause of my keyboard issues.
However, I still may be inclined to believe something bad has happened here. It seems too odd that my Hotmail and a gaming account were hacked this week as well. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

The more I play around the more I feel like this is all a huge coincidence.
A lot of the problems I'm having could be explained by a faulty keyboard.
For example, the keyboard I was using had soda spilled on it; so the keys stick. The one that sticks all the time is the Windows key. A key that can be used to popup the start menu randomly, and is also used in conjunction with the U key to open the Ease of Access Center. Also, when I came home I typed just the U key and the Ease of Access Center opened again, which leads me to believe the Windows key was stuck down.
But like I said, if it walks and talks like a duck... My gaming and Hotmail accounts were hacked this week and I've never had something like that happen to me before.

The killing of up to 50 Kikuyus, Kenya's largest ethnic group, as they sought shelter in a church in the city of Eldoret fueled fears of deepening tribal conflict in what has been regarded as one of Africa's most stable democracies.
Kibaki, who won a second term in the disputed elections, is a Kikuyu, while his rival Rail Odinga is from the smaller Luo tribe, which says it has been marginalized.
The Kikuyus had fled to the Assemblies of God Church on Monday night after mobs torched homes. On Tuesday morning, a mob of about 2,000 arrived and started burning the church, a Kikuyu told the Associated Press.
On Tuesday, Kibaki called for a meeting with his political opponents, but Odinga refused, saying he would meet Kibaki only "if he announces that he was not elected."
Odinga accused the government of stoking the chaos, telling the AP that Kibaki's administration "is guilty, directly, of genocide."
The U.N. cited Kenyan police as saying 70,000 people had been displaced in five days of violence. Around 5,400 people also have fled to neighboring Uganda, and several hundred people also have fled to Tanzania, officials there said.
Government spokesman Alfred Mutua downplayed the violence, saying it had only affected about 3 percent of the country's 34 million people. "Kenya is not burning and not at the throes of any division," he told the AP.
The Bush administration expressed dismay over the turmoil.
"It's hard-pressed to comprehend here how this could have gone so wrong in terms of Kenya being on its way to some stability and then having this election turn into such a violent situation," White House press secretary Dana Perino said.
In a joint statement, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Britain's Foreign Secretary David Miliband said there were "independent reports of serious irregularities in the counting process."
Rice and Miliband had welcomed news that the African Union would send its chief, Ghanaian President John Kufuor, to mediate the conflict. AU spokeswoman Habiba Mejri-Cheikh said Kufuor was expected in Kenya on Wednesday, but Kufuor's press office told the Associated Press the leader had canceled the visit. Media reports varied on Kufuor's mediation role.
"This is a time where two of the greatest Kenyan patriots, the president and Raila Odinga, need to step forward and work out a practical way forward in the interest of the Kenyan people," U.S. Ambassador Michael E. Ranneberger told BBC radio.
Miliband said he did not know who won the election but that both sides had a responsibility to resolve the conflict. "I very much hope that both Mr. Odinga and President Kibaki will realize that there is nothing to be gained by either of them pretending that this is cut and dried," he told BBC radio.

The Rubin Con Goes On - Asking the Devil Questions
I just don't understand how everyone that caused all of these financial problems are trying to walk away like they had nothing to do with any of this… Good read: By Robert Scheer Via Truthdig The corruptions of journalism were on full display when CNN's Fareed Zakaria turned to Robert Rubin this past Sunday for advice on how to fix the financial crisis that he, as much as anyone, caused. I was trapped on a treadmill in front of an overhead television and unable to turn the thing off in time to avoid this assault on my mental and physical health. As a result I was forced to hear Rubin, Bill Clinton's treasury secretary, insist that he always favored regulating toxic derivatives and is therefore not at all responsible for the ensuing economic meltdown. He was responding to the sole critical question from the CNN host, who quoted a question by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman: "Did all the senior members of the [Obama] economics team have to be protégés of Robert Rubin, the apostle of financial deregulation?" Unfortunately, Zakaria just rolled over when his guest simply lied in response: "First of all, I am not the apostle of financial deregulation. Quite the contrary. On derivatives … I developed a deep concern about the systemic problem that was created. When I was back at Goldman Sachs, it was a concern I had … a concern I had when I was in government. And in fact, when I wrote my book in 2003, I was so concerned about it that I actually included that that discussion in there." read more:http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_rubin_con_goes_on_20100810/

About two dozen people at the Jamaica High School campus had to be treated earlier today after a Queens Collegiate High School student allegedly released pepper spray in the building's shared cafeteria, officials said.
There are four different schools housed at the Gothic Drive campus, and students from Queens Collegiate were eating breakfast in the cafeteria when firefighters and EMS personnel responded to a call around 9 a.m. of pepper spray being released, the FDNY said.
The city Department of Education said a doctor was sent to the school, where 16 students were complaining about either tightness in their chests or burning in their eyes.
The cafeteria was aired out and parents were notified of the incident, the DOE added.
In 2008, the department began phasing grades out of Jamaica HS and started phasing in three other schools: the Hillside Arts & Letters Academy, the HS for Community Leadership and Queens Collegiate.
Several news reports earlier today had identified the site as Jamaica High, and Jamaica HS teacher James Eterno said the confusion has caused confusion for students and parents.
"People have been calling all day," he said. "This had nothing to do with our school."
Eterno said Jamaica High students were alarmed to see ambulances sitting outside the building and had to take their lunches to the auditorium while the cafeteria was cleared.
No arrests have been made and disciplinary action is pending, according to school officials.

Jonas, a twelve-year old, lives in a seemingly perfect futuristic world. His community protects him from all harm and in doing so has taken away his opportunity to make decisions. Will Jonas ever be able to make a choice on his own? This lesson is based on the award-winning book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, [Houghton Mifflin, Co., 1993.]
Essential Dilemma Your students will consider the following questions: In deciding to secede from the Union in 1861, did the South violate its own self-interest and thus disprove the basic economic principle that people seek to further their self-interest in the decisions they make? To get at the question, each student will assume the role of an ardent secessionist. Acting in this role, the students will apply principles of economic reasoning and use a decision grid to weigh the benefits and costs of the South's effort to create a new nation in which slavery and state's rights would forever be guaranteed by law.
The United States is losing 60,000 acres of wetlands each year. Is this good or bad? Does anyone really want to live in swamps, fens, bogs, and marshes? Or is it better economics to drain the wetlands for other purposes like agricultural development? In this lesson students will learn about this monumental issue facing the United States while viewing it from an economic perspective.
The following lessons come from the Council for Economic Education's library of publications. Clicking the publication title or image will take you to the Council for Economic Education Store for more detailed information.
This publication contains 17 lessons that complement the 6-8 Student Workbook. Specific to grades 6-8 are a variety of activities, including developing criteria that students think would make a good graham cracker and taste-testing to determine which graham cracker meets their needs; deciding which activities are better suited to careers or hobbies; and learning how important planning is to the success of any goal or event.
3 out of 19 lessons from this publication relate to this EconEdLink lesson.
This publication helps elementary students analyze energy and environment issues from an economics perspective.
3 out of 10 lessons from this publication relate to this EconEdLink lesson.

text: So I hear over Christmas you and my wife have been exchanging emails. I come to find out you two have been conspiring together too. I found out about you guys on Christmas morning of all days! I just have one thing to say to you. You guys keep on conspiring with each other...cause you guys made this Christmas AWESOME! I wish I could have posted something earlier, but the last few weeks have been crazy as hell. But I couldn't go too much longer before saying something. So as an early gift, the wife bought me a new 40" MES 20070311 smoker to replace my old analog 30 inch. Since it was delivered early, and I was the first one home, the surprise was ruined. Since she is a firm believer that everyone should have something to open Christmas morning, and since I rave so much about Todd's awesome products and service, she contacted him to help me accessorize my new toy. She asked Todd for some ideas, and they settled on the Maverick ET-732...which I have been eyeing forever. Then Todd decided to have some fun with me, and buried it in a box full of pellets. So when I opened the box, it looked like her gift was a box of pellets, which honestly would have been cool. More pellets means more smoking, right? On top of the pellets, there were some Q-Matz too! I love making salmon, and the Q-Matz were another toy I have been eyeballing. If she didn't tell me there was more, besides the pellets and matz, I wouldn't have dug through the box and found the Maverick. Good one Todd. I gotta say, this is another prime example of why Todd is such a great person to work with. His products are top notch, and he treats his customers like they are people and not just walking wallets. There are a lot of businesses out there that could learn a lesson from him. Me and my wife want to thank you for an awesome Christmas. James

If you baked a fruit cake according to a blueprint, it would say something like: position 83 raisins at 1 inch intervals in a 10 x 6 x 3 grid. Every fruit cake would look the same and the results would be clinical and unnatural. This is the way cities are designed, from the New York city grid to the boulevards of Paris. Where they look different, such as a medieval town, the result is happy accident, over time, or implementation by craftsmen on the ground rather than the work of architects or masterplanners.
Conversely, when you bake a cake according to a recipe, every one looks slightly different, because of tiny environmental differences and the cook can adapt the recipe to improve it. The makers are designers and the recipe can be passed on and evolve.
The difference between a recipe and a blueprint is that a recipe adapts to the environment and allows people who make things based on it, to adapt and improve it. Recipes also have the benefit of requiring less information than a blueprint.
Until recently it was very difficult to formally implement recipes as an alternative to blueprint style design. This was because recipes are simple instructions which often need to be iterated a very large number of times to achieve the desired rich complexity of nature and until computers this was not possible. The repetition of a recipe instruction is an algorithm.
Early design algorithms were based on feeding the results of very simple equations back into the equation over an over again. They resulted in the infinite complexity of fractals that reflected natural forms but from an aesthetic point of view they were not used for producing much beyond lurid t-shirt designs.
Some simpler design tasks such as Internet applications have evolved a hybrid approach that has some recipe elements through the iteration of design alternatives with A/B testing. Ironically the recipe design is viewed as something less creative, the realm of focus groups and marketing, by missing the point that if a series of rules for a suite of A/B testing was treated as a creative design exercise, then this would be like designing a recipe.
Until recently, recipe based design has not been understood well enough to build something as complex as a city from a few simple iterated rules. Now, however, I believe we could create a city that had the richness, variation and environmental sensitivity of an organic design built over hundreds of years.
An algorithmic approach would be a wonderful thing for a new city of the future or even for an existing one, bringing residents, planners and architects together. It would produce a much more human environment by having detail at every scale from choosing a few simple rules to iterate on.

Casio QV-4000 review
Let me first say Ive been shooting film for 26 yrs and have made prints A3 in size with this camera that are equal to 35mm film. If you use an icm printer (epson) you get outstanding results in conjunction with power-rip software
also when it comes to true color the bottom line is "With Photoshop all things are possible" Learn it, love it, live it.
bottom line is I get about the same quality picture with this palm sized gem as I do hanging a 35mm with 5 lbs of glass around my neck. I still use film for wedding and portraiture... more light control.. and it just looks more professional.. the 4000 has a very crappy internal flash. I use a sunpak 622 pro system flash and the flash head is larger than the camera.. looks retarded using it.
only problem is the weak flash.. I owned a QV-3000 and I had to set the flash on that camera to weak because the flash was way too strong. Im also not to crazy about the digital zoom.

Michael Adams won the individual top board gold medal in the European Team Championship at Halkidiki in Greece, but the continued impressive advance of Gawain Jones, 23, was just as significant for English chess.
Adams celebrated his fortieth birthday on Thursday by regaining his place in the world top 20, a ranking list where his peak a decade ago was at No4.
Jones has just achieved a series of personal bests. His unbeaten 6/9 in the Euroteams followed quickly on a success at the Corsica Open, and he agreed an early draw in his final game in Greece to fly back to the UK in time for the opening weekend's play in Britain's 4NCL league. There he won both his games, including the elegant 16-move miniature featured below.
In the next world list due in January Jones's rating is likely to soar to around 2650, equal to a place in the top 100 grandmasters. For almost the first time since the peak decade of 1985-1995, when England ranked second to the USSR, there will be five Englishmen in the active top 100-Adams, Nigel Short, Luke McShane, Matthew Sadler and Jones. Sadler, who has made an impressive return to top chess this year after a decade's absence, has said that he will be available for the national team in the 150-nation Olympiad at Istanbul in 2012.
The England quintet can be serious Olympiad contenders both at Istanbul and at Tromso, Norway, in 2014, with the aid of rule changes which have halted the former USSR/Russia gold medal monopoly. Match points rather than game points are now the prime decider, enabling lower rated teams to score in key matches by narrow 2.5-1.5 wins while formerly the Soviet juggernaut would shrug off setbacks by some crushing 4-0 or 3.5-0.5 victories.
In the past six years the Netherlands and now Germany have won the European title, while Armenia and Azerbaijan have taken Olympiad and world team golds as top seeded Russia failed. England, with Sadler and Jones as potential lower board match winners, can aim high in 2012.
Simon Williams is England's most inventive grandmaster, but his gambit here is decidedly over the top. Jones refutes it by original play of his own. Black's Q-side pawn push paves the way for the crushing 11...Qd5! threatening both h1 and a2. When White tries to fight on by hemming in the black queen, 15...Nxg4! and Bf6 puts Black a rook up.
S Williams v G Jones, 4NCL 2011
1 e4 c6 2 Bc4?! d5 3 Bb3?! dxe4 4 Qh5? g6 5 Qh4 Bg7 6 Nc3 a5! 7 Nxe4 a4 8 Bc4 b5 9 Be2 Nh6 10 g4 a3 11 Rb1 Qd5! 12 Nc3 Qxh1 13 Kf1 Be5 14 Bf3 Qxh2 15 Nh3 Nxg4! 16 Bxg4 Bf6 0-1
3228 1 Rxe5! dxe5 2 Qxe5+ Kf8 3 Re1! and Black can only stop Qh8 mate by ruinous sacrifices.

Circuit-board maker Merix Corp., of Beaverton, Ore., will merge with Viasystems Group Inc., a St. Louis-based competitor.
The companies said Tuesday that the merger would create an $840 million company with an estimated 13,000 employees worldwide. The merged company's headquarters will be in St. Louis.
Merix chief executive Michael Burger told The Oregonian newspaper that the merger should have little effect on the company's nearly 900 Oregon employees, unless the economic downturn continues.
Burger says the merger will be a good fit: Merix has been hurt by competition in Asia, where Viasystems has key factories, while Viasystems lacked domestic plants needed to supply the U.S. defense industry.

New setback for Oakley
By Patrick Goss
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Southampton midfielder Matt Oakley has suffered a new setback.Southampton's injury-hit midfielder Matt Oakley has suffered a new setback, and once more gone under the surgeon's knife.
Oakley has been out for 14 months with ligament damage to his knee, but needed another minor procedure to shave off a bone spur in the troublesome joint.
The operation has set back Oakley's recuperation by a month, but the 27-year-old should soon be getting back to training.
"It has set him back a bit and it will be three or four weeks at least before he is back to where he was last week," said Saints physio Jim Joyce.
"It's just a small piece of bone that needed shaving off. It is only minor surgery but we will see how Matt reacts."

THE recovery of the Scottish economy has continued but at a reduced rate as the country's manufacturers suffer plunging export orders.
The Bank of Scotland's Purchasing Manager's Index recorded a decline in the growth of Scottish economic output in December to a seven-month low and it continues to lag behind that of the UK.
The figures, based on survey data from 600 companies based in Scotland, showed that for the 13th consecutive month companies continued to add workers but also that the rate of employment growth was the slowest since May.
Loading article content
Bank of Scotland chief economist Donald MacRae said: "December's PMI showed the private sector of the Scottish economy continuing to grow although at a reduced rate compared to summer.
"Both service and manufacturing sectors recorded a rise in new work and continued to increase employment in the month."
Scotland's overall PMI reading was 54.5 for December, down from 55.2 in November. This was the third month in a row it has fallen. Anything above 50 denotes growth.
The UK reading slipped to 59.2 from 60.2.
Mr MacRae said this suggests the recovery in the Scottish economy continued at the end of last year "and looks set to persist throughout 2014".
Levels of activity in Scotland's dominant service sector fell to its lowest level since April after slipping for the third consecutive month, on a seasonally adjusted basis.
The manufacturing sector returned to growth in the final month of 2013 after suffering a slight decline in output in November. The Bank of Scotland said the pace of growth in the manufacturing sector was "solid" but still well below highs reached in the middle of last year.
Export orders at manufacturing firms suffered a marked decline in December, the second consecutive month they had declined, highlighting the difficulty that the Government has had in fostering an export-led recovery.
Mr MacRae said this reverse was "perhaps due to a strong pound".
Both sectors have been increasing employment. In the service sector employment growth was "only modest", the Bank of Scotland said, being at the slowest rate since July.
It said that 12% of businesses in the services sector recorded net job creation in December, compared with just under 10% that cut staffing levels.
In the manufacturing sector payroll numbers also grew but at a very muted pace. Some 9.1% of firms reported adding workers while 8.4% cut numbers.
Forecasters are divided over the strength of the economic recovery in Scotland.
In November, the Centre for Economics and Business Research upgraded its growth forecast for 2013 to 1.4% from 0.8% and for the current year to 2.2% from 1.3%.
Strathclyde University's Fraser of Allander Institute expects Scotland's growth rate for 2013 to have amounted to 1.3%. It most recently increased its forecast of expansion in 2014 to 1.8%, from 1.6%. This is below the long-term growth rate of 2%.
The Scottish economy grew by 0.4% in 2012. The Scottish Government viewed the Bank of Scotland numbers as good news.
Cabinet Secretary for Finance John Swinney said: "The PMI figures for December show a positive end to 2013, with private sector output expanding for the 15th consecutive month and employment continuing to rise in both the services and manufacturing sectors.
"We also continued to see growth in new orders in service and manufacturing firms, which should help to get 2014 off to a solid start.
"2013 has seen improvements in both output and the jobs market in Scotland but challenges remain."

Researchers Say Nicotine Craving May Be More Mental than Physical
Israeli researchers who studied nicotine craving among flight attendants concluded that the desire for a cigarette may have more to do with habit than addiction to nicotine, UPI reported July 19.
Study author Reuven Dar of Tel Aviv University and colleagues found that smoking flight attendants who were deprived of nicotine during 10-13 hour flights experienced no more craving than those on 3-5 hour flights; rather, craving appeared to be higher at the end of the shorter flights, researchers found.
"These findings might not be popular with advocates of the nicotine addiction theory, because they undermine the physiological role of nicotine and emphasize mind over matter when it comes to smoking," said Dar.
The study was published in the February 2010 issue of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology.

While living in New York a few years ago, I started keeping track of what I played on the jukebox in the three bars I frequented. I'm not entirely sure what inspired me to first jot down song names in my notebook, but it got to the point where I became obsessed, and my obsession spilled over into a blog where I'd write about any strange characters I'd met and then end the entry with my playlist for the night.
At one bar, it was usually Nick Drake, Nick Cave, Frank Sinatra and the Rolling Stones. At a bar a block away, it was Tom Waits, Serge Gainsbourg, Chet Baker, Lou Donaldson and the Pixies. One night, after I put on a Pixies song, a guy at the bar started telling me how much Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was influenced by the Pixies' "Debaser." According to this guy, when Kurt Cobain wrote "Teen Spirit," he was trying to write a Pixies song. (Play those two songs back to back, and you'll see that this guy was on point.)
Another time, a girl walked up to the jukebox, leaned over and pressed a few buttons — and "Let It Loose," from the Stones' extraordinary Exile on Main Street, came on. I thought that I could fall in love with a girl who liked that song. Yeah, it was just one tune, but when you have a deep personal connection with a song and discover that someone else does, too, you wonder how much more you have in common. Still, maybe I put too much importance on what people play on jukeboxes.
Continental Club
When I stepped into the brand-new Continental Club (475 Santa Fe Drive), there was just the sound of people talking — which was intolerable, because this place has one hell of a jukebox. I was itching to feed that box my dollar bills, but I needed a drink first. So a bartender known to many folks around town as Dumptruck — he's also an announcer at Denver Roller Dolls bouts — hooked me up with one of the night's specials: a can of Hamm's and a shot of Jim Beam for $4.
In the meantime, a guy who'd been playing pool beat me to the jukebox.
"Is this Helmet?" asked another guy sitting at the bar.
No one had an answer, but once the vocals kicked in, he answered his own question. Yes, it was Helmet. After the guy finished programming his songs, I walked over to the jukebox, scrolled through the discs and decided to start my set with Minor Threat's "Filler." I've got this notion that sometimes you can't only play the stuff you like; you have to scope out the people around you and compromise on something that they might like as well. Since there were some punks in the joint, I dropped a few songs I'd grown up with: early-'80s punk like Minor Threat, Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys — all records I'd bought with my lunch money at Wax Trax when I was going to middle school down the street at Morey. I added some Iggy Pop, the Clash, Man...or Astro-man? and Johnny Cash, then closed with the Louvin Brothers' "Satan Is Real," which I'd never heard, but the title was intriguing.
While the Johnny Cash song was playing, one of the pool players came up to the bar and asked Dumptruck for some singles so that he could play something heavier than Cash. I'm pretty sure he played the Ministry tune, not so sure about Devo. That might've been the gal sitting a few seats from me.

One thing for sure: The Continental's jukebox is dialed in. I'll definitely be back for dollar PBRs (the all-the-time special) and further tunes exploration. And the bar is bringing in live acts, too, including Hammerlock and Lyin' Bitch & the Restraining Orders on Saturday, January 19.
Club scout: Tabor Cowden, owner of Hush (1403 Larimer Street), has made a few changes to the club's interior and reopened it as Open Bar. As the new name suggests, after paying the $5 cover, you get free beer and well drinks from 9 to 11 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays. Sounds like a winning concept.
Ten blocks away, the Old Curtis Street Bar (2100 Curtis Street) has fired up a new weekly night. It's the Curtis Hustle, with James Yardley, formerly of May Riots and Hawks & Doves, and guest DJs spinning psych, Brit rock and more every Thursday night. And one block over, the Loft (821 22nd Street) just kicked off Privilege Fridays with DJ Chief Rocka spinning hip-hop, top 40 and mash-ups. If you want to get started a little earlier, Duane Taylor Entertainment has started a Friday happy hour at the club, where upscale folks can relax, network and get two-for-one top-shelf drinks from 5 to 9 p.m. And starting Thursday, January 17, the Loft will host Upscale Thursdays, with DJ Dif'rent spinning neo-soul, classic hip-hop and old-school.

Our Huey was nearly run over by a C5. The radio chatter that went along with that was amusing.
We figured they were serving the inflight meal and got distracted.
I've added the Ridley Dean RS to the list. It's fairly conventional, but for $860 you get the frameset and brakes, and an adjustable seat post. I wonder if it's UCI legal? I know the Dean is.
Argon 18 E-112. UCI compliant. Reversible seat post. Added.
i bought this. It's a new 2013 Felt B16, 52cm TT bike. Carbon frame, 700c wheels, Ultegra group, wonderful Adamo saddle. It came with a funky FSA crankset, which I had the shop swap for the new Ultegra crankset and BB on the B2 (52 - 39 chain rings). It's going to get the Cosmic Carbones when I get it home. It still needs some minor tweaking on the handlebars, but its oh so much better than my B2 in every way right now! Appropriately, I bought it in bike capitol of California - Davis, at Davis Wheelworks. I'll upload a photo to Race Rigs when I get it home on Tuesday and get the proper wheels on it.
At last, a TT bike I can ride!!!
I had an extensive fit to the B2 and then this one. I spent time riding them both, and then decided on this bike. It's no DA or Shiv or anything truly exotic. It is an honest, up to date, upgradable TT bike that I can actually sit on without screaming in pain and get the power to the ground. I am thrilled!
Looks great, Sara - best of luck with it!
Nice looking TT bike. Ride it in good health and ride it fast. :)
This will make Ex happy. I now have power on the TT bike. So, can you spot the wired PowerTap? I haven't put the wheel on, but the rest is there. I had a second PT pickup harness, so I can now swap the wheel between the Cannondale and the Felt.
I did my best to keep the wires hidden from the wind. I ran them along the chainstay, under the brake caliper and cable, and then up the spine of the downtube. Black tape hides it nicely.
Finally, so I can use my Garmin, I put it on the top tube.
Nice! How's the fit coming?
It fits the PowerTap OpenPro wheel. Now I can ITT with power. I'll be at least 20 MPH faster. Uphill.
@sarals, very clean installation.
Still trying to figure out how to do power on my TT and track bikes.
Thanks, Cleave!
Let me know if it's faster. I'll need one come May I hope
I will, IBO!
I'm pondering an 88mm carbon wheel for the front of the TT bike, to be used with the disk. I have a 20mm (Easton EA90), 53mm (Cosmic Carbone), and I reason an 88 would be good to have in the stable, as well. I should probably get an 88mm rear wheel, too...I can't always use the disk. The issue is the PT hub is on the disk (covered) wheel (Mavic OpenPro). I really don't want to contest that TT bike without power.
Decisions, decisions....
I am afraid (yes, really afraid) to buy an 88mm deep front wheel for my TT bike. My HED 3c is 54mm deep and I have been blown around a couple of times with it. Both were extra scary as both occasions were during TTTs. In theory, the wider, more "blunt" rim profiles are better in crosswinds so I am looking at some knockoff 60mm wheels for my TT bike if or when I switch to clincher tires.
I should add that the tri-spoke design of the HED wheel gives it a lot more sail area than a 54mm wheel would have with regular spokes but still, 88mm on a day with moderate or gusty wind would probably be a handful for someone as light as you.
As for data during a TT, some of my course PRs were done when I forgot my computer or HR strap. Relative Perceived Effort (RPE) is a good thing to "calibrate" in your head because sometimes looking at numbers during a TT just psyches you out.
Of course this is from the guy who didn't have a power meter until 11 months ago.
Darn, AJ, I wish I'd known that last month!
Cleave, gotcha! I'll hold off on the (anything deeper than 53mm) deeper wheels until I get a TT or two under my belt with the disk. I've already smacked the pavement once on that TT bike due to my size and strength. No sense in tempting fate.
The only thing that makes me madder right now is that it's 14*F (feels like 4*F) out; much like your place. I can't ride and the lake ain't stiff enough to fish through.
Thanks for the heads up
-11 here in Happy Valley. Two hours on the trainer, for sure. I gotta find a good movie.

March 19, 2014 (Newswire.com) - The pursuit of excellence in our field of work helps us in acquiring vast knowledge over a range of topics. While we mostly apply our knowledge in our jobs, there is a lot more to gain out of it. Knowledge is truly considered to be one of the greatest assets, simply because you can never lose it except for unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, and it can always help you earn high returns if it is channeled in a proper way.
With the advent of technology, sharing knowledge to earn money has become extremely easy. Our expertise over any topic can be shared online with millions of Internet users and based on the popularity of your content, you can earn quite a decent income. There are several websites available which host content provided by users and share the revenue generated from the advertisements clicked on a particular webpage.
To start with earning money online by sharing knowledge, one would have to find out websites that offer revenue-sharing schemes. It is important to double-check the reputation of the website before venturing further. There are several scam-ridden websites which trick people into submitting original content and do not pay for the services offered. Websites like eHow and Associated Content have an excellent reputation for their transparent dealings with content creators.
Once we sign up with a particular website, we need to submit articles that would first be screened by the website and then published according to the guidelines. The most popular articles are the ones which are easy to read and explain topics in a clear and concise manner. One can start with simple how-to articles, which are often the most searched keywords in Google or Bing.
The websites track visitors on every webpage and share the revenues earned from the advertisement clicks generated from the pages. There is no limit to the number of articles one can submit in different websites, which opens up avenues for limitless earning as well. In order to monetize your articles further, it is a good idea to take up the promotion and marketing of these webpages. Blogs related to your area of knowledge and posting on forums of the same niche are ways in which you can redirect users to your knowledge sharing page.
However, it is important to ensure that the content you post are not offensive or controversial. Most of the time, the websites hosting the content would flag your submission, and dents your reputation as an authentic writer.
