Welcome to All-American Thrills!
A Respectful, Open-minded Theme Park News and Discussion Site
The All American Roller Coaster had it's humble beginnings in the form of a switch back railroad in Jim Thorpe, PA USA.
That simple idea gave Lamarcus Adna Thompson the vision to design, build and patent the first American roller coaster built on Coney Island, NY.
But, today that simple design has been replaced with high speed, loops, twists and turns.
We here at All-American Thrills want to celebrate our fine heritage of the roller coaster while showcasing
what the world has to offer in amusement parks!
We here at All-American Thrills Strongly believe in maintaining a family value based website.
We encourage mothers and sons, fathers and daughters to participate in discussions on our forums.
We want to provide an experience second to none and make All-American Thrills your destination for amusement park information.

Celtic close in on double signing
Celtic boss Neil Lennon has said that his side are on the verge of a double swoop for an Israeli midfielder and a Finnish forward.
Finnish star Teemu Pukki is close to signing for Scottish side Celtic just days after the Premier League side made it through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, according to Sky Sports.
Double swoop
Meanwhile, Israeli international midfielder Nir Biton has already joined the Scottish giants from FC Ashdod on a four-year deal after Lennon had told the broadcaster the deal was almost done.
He added: "He will come into the squad so that will freshen us up."
Lennon also claimed that Celtic had agreed a fee with Schalke for Pukki, but they were still to agree personal terms with the forward.
Both players when they sign will be available for Celtic's Champions League campaign.
Champions League
Celtic qualified for the group stage of the Champions League on Wednesday after a dramatic 3-2 win over Shakhter Karagandy.
The Scottish side were part of the draw for the group stage on Thursday, and were placed in Group H, alongside Barcelona, AC Milan and Ajax, all previous winners of the tournament.
Lennon added to the broadcaster: "It could have been easier.
"Three big teams and we know it's going to be difficult."

Advanced Cell Technology (ACT) made headline news last month claiming to have successfully produced a human embryo clone.
According to their research published in the online journal, e-biomed, ACT had created both a human embryo clone and had also succeeded in getting a human egg cell to divide on its own just like an embryo but without the addition of any further genetic material i.e.a sperm cell. This process is known as parthenogenesis.
ACT's announcement sparked off a rapid debate across the globe on the ethics and morality of human cloning. Although ACT asserted that their research was focused purely on producing stem cells with the aim of finding cures for degenerative diseases such as Leukemia, Parkinsons and Multiple Sclerosis, many organization, governments and individuals have been very wary of their announcement or in fact any future developments by other organizations.
As a privately funded company based in Massachusetts, ACT are currently allowed to undertake research into the development of human embryo clones. At present legislation only prevents taxpayers money being spent on research in this area. However this sort of progress into human cloning by private companies may result in further legislation being put in place in the USA.
Other countries such as Japan, Portugal, Germany, Spain have totally banned research into human cloning. There are at least 30 countries worldwide who have instigated a human cloning ban but this still leaves well over 150 countries with no current bans.
In the debate surrounding human cloning, advocates propose a number of key benefits to justify research and development. These include the possibility of achieving the following:
Immediately, George Orwell's novel '1984' and Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' spring to mind. Out of the examples listed rejuvenation, infertility, cosmetic surgery, and defective genes already place the emphasis of human cloning on perfection. That is, altering the DNA sequence to achieve the desires of other humans or to produce a more perfect individual in the eyes of the creator.
The last century witnessed the disastrous results of such an ideology with Hitler and the Nazi philosophy who believed that blond hair and blue eyes were ultimately the supreme race. Unfortunately, it is not hard to find such extremist beliefs today all over the world. Fortunately at this time, there is noone in such a powerful position as Hitler was in the mid 20th century. The development of human cloning to a level where it is readily available to persons of power who quite easily could have such underlying beliefs and goals is a terrifying one.
Other serious concerns surround evolution. Some believe that by interfering with DNA and the genetics of humans we will place the human race in a deadly position. What may appear as a perfect gene sequence now may cause the downfall of the race in as little as 500 years. Diversity allows humans to adapt and modify to their environment with the survival of the fittest at the heart of the matter. Genetic modification alters the process of natural selection and may make humans the victims of better adapted enemies. The more similar humans are, the more likely there will be a wide-scale failure to new disease. Humans are not able to see into the future and therefore are unable to predict future events and future requirements of the species.
Scientists are only at the beginning phases of understanding the extremely complex arena of genetics. The mystery of the DNA double helix was only discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. The recent discovery of arthritis in Dolly the Sheep clone supports this assertion. Sometimes by altering the DNA sequence, the perceived or desired effects are not always the actual result and sometimes the results do not appear for some time. When applied to the complicated sequences of humans, the consequences of developing human clones without understanding how they may evolve in 10, 15, 30 years holds great risks.
For most religious groups, humans taking the role of creator is totally unacceptable, unethical and ultimately takes away the beauty & uniqueness of human beings.
Despite such concerns, without a global ban on human cloning, research and development will continue. How close then are we to the cloning of a human being? According to British scientists who created Dolly the Sheep clone, assertions that have been made by ACT are not major breakthroughs. For instance, an embryo with only 6 cells was documented, when to be significant, it should have had more than 200 cells. At present it is thought that ACT could be a long way off from creating usable stem cells which would need the formation of a blastocyte (clump of 100 to 150 cells).
ACT of course are only one privately owned company undertaking human cloning research. There could well be many other organizations further along the path who have not yet publicized their findings. It would seem vital then that some form of global regulation of human cloning is initiated and that this happens in the not too distant future.

U.S. unlikely to intervene in Syria soon
By The Associated Press
Published: Friday, Aug. 23, 2013, 7:30 p.m.
WASHINGTON — President Obama on Friday played down the prospect of speedy intervention in Syria, stressing the difficulty of ordering military action against the Assad government without a strong international coalition and a legal mandate from the United Nations.
While his administration weighed military responses to this week's claims of a large-scale chemical weapons attack near Damascus, Obama spoke as cautiously as ever about getting involved in a war that has killed more than 100,000 people and now includes Hezbollah and al-Qaida.
He made no mention of the "red line" of chemical weapons use, which he marked out for Syrian President Bashar Assad a year ago and which U.S. intelligence says has been breached at least on a small scale several times since.
"If the U.S. goes in and attacks another country without a U.N. mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it — do we have the coalition to make it work?" Obama said Friday. "Those are considerations that we have to take into account."
The reported attack on Wednesday killed at least 100 people in a Damascus suburb.
Obama conceded in an interview on CNN's "New Day" program that the episode is a "big event of grave concern" that requires American attention. He said any large-scale chemical weapons usage would affect "core national interests" of the United States and its allies. But nothing he said signaled a shift toward U.S. action.
Even so, Defense officials said the Navy moved an additional warship into the eastern Mediterranean Sea, meaning it now has four destroyers in the region. Each can launch ballistic missiles.
There are no immediate orders for a missile launch into Syria, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss ship movements publicly. But if the United States wants to send a message to Assad, the likeliest military action would be a missile strike, launched from a ship in the Mediterranean.
In his first comments on Syria since the alleged chemical attack, Obama said the United States is still trying to find out what happened.

Market guide | Zillow predicts 63122 home values will rise 0.7% next year, compared to a 0% fall for Glendale as a whole. Among 63122 homes, this home is valued 16.1% more than the midpoint (median) home, and is valued 1.2% more per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the 63122 market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold shrank 13.4% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 181.9% greater than in Glendale, and 4.5% higher than the national average. This higher local number may prevent 63122 home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Glendale. Learn more about forecast calculations or 63122 home values.… moreless |

Why "should" it be an adult? Most 20 year olds don't even live alone, pay their own bills, pay for their student loans, and etc. All "adult" things. Technically since he's over the age of 18, he is considered an "adult". Mentally, he's not an adult, which is why I do not consider him such.
And if you think all of those playing in the NFL are "adults", then you are sadly mistaken.

In some cases the need exists to extend a batch that already is delivered as part of the product. The most common example is when we have extended the data model with our own custom table specs. Let's say we have the need to track more fields for an organization (constituent). In the food bank example, we need to track the food bank description, mission statement, and the type of food bank in addition to the other constituent / organization data. A custom table named USR_FOODBANK has been introduced to track this data. This table has a one to one relationship to the CONSTITUENT table. |
The source code for this article can be found within the Blackbaud.CustomFx.FoodBank.Catalog .NET project. The "Batch Extensions" folder within this project contains two batch extension examples. A child folder named "Constituent Batch Food Bank" contains the specs for this article. |
A very robust and feature laden batch type exists in Blackbaud Enterprise CRM that allows us to add new constituents into the database. This batch type is called 'Constituent Batch' and it allows us to add constituent bio, address, demographic, phone, name formats, spouse, primary business, educational history, and group information, etc. into the database. As you probably know by now, third party developers may not alter "out of the box" specs. This means we cannot alter the Constituent Batch. Since we have a few fields that we are "adding" to the constituent table via a one to one relationship with the custom USR_FOODBANK table, it would be a shame to have to write a completely new batch type. Instead, it would be nice to attach the description, mission statement, and food bank type code fields to the existing Constituent Batch. It's kind of like hitching a ride by associating our new fields with the existing batch. Thankfully, we can use a Batch Type Extension to extend the Constituent Batch. Batch Type Extensions or batch extensions, as they are also known, are created by authoring a BatchTypeExtensionSpec. One of the first things you will notice about batch extensions is that unlike batch types, a batch extension is comprised of a single spec known as the BatchTypeExtensionSpec. Within this spec you will find the AddRow save stored procedure, the EditRow load and save stored procedures, the commit procedure or procedures, and the form field metadata. |
With a BatchTypeExtensionSpec we declare the base table that we add our batch rows into. You can think of the base table as the holding area for our batch extension rows. Our rows will be stored here until the batch type that we are extending is committed. We must also declare the batch type that we are extending. Next we will need to author and declare stored procedures to add and edit rows to and from the staging area table. These stored procedures will manage the data within our staging area for our batch extension rows. When the batch is committed, the data within the staging area will need to be transferred into the production table. Once the batch is committed, the rows will be transferred from the holding area into the production tables via a commit row stored procedure. To create a BatchTypeExtensionSpec we must provide the following pieces of information:
Spec Catalog Tables and Meta Data The AddRow, EditRow, and CommitRow tags contains GUID for both the instance ID and the template id. |
When the BatchTypeExtensionSpec is loaded into the catalog tables a single row is added into the BATCHTYPEEXTENSIONCATALOG table and multiple rows are added to the DATAFORMTEMPLATECATALOG table and the DATAFORMINSTANCECATALOG table. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Taking the Batch Extension for Test Drive Selecting to the Batch task within the Administration functional area followed by selecting Batch entry task opens the Batch Entry page. |
Selecting the Batch templates action within the Configuration action group opens the Batch Templates page. |
From the Batch Templates page, we can add a new batch template based upon the Constituent Batch type. We provide a batch template, name, description, workflow, and numbering scheme. For more details see Configuring a Batch Template form a Batch Type. Within the Select fields and defaults section, select Constituent Batch as the batch type. Within the Available fields options list, expand the Food bank folder and drag the Description, Mission statement, and Type fields over to the right as selected fields. Let's add some defaults for the selected fields to make adding new rows to the batch easier. Save the template. Navigate back to the Batch Entry page and add a new batch that is based on our new Constituent Batch with Food Bank Extension Template. With the batch open, add 2 new food bank organizations to the batch. Next, we want to check out commit logic within our batch extension. Leave the Type column blank on the first row within the batch and change the constituent type to Individual within the second row within the batch. Save and close the batch. Commit the batch with the following options: You should see that the batch completed with 2 errors: Navigating back to the Batch Entry page, we can review the exception batch created and see our custom errors raised from the USR_USP_FOODBANK_BATCHEXTVALIDATE stored procedure. Clean up the offending errors and commit the exception batch. The batch commits without exceptions. We can review the organization record created with user defined constituency and the food bank record added via our batch extension. |

Day One – leaving my "dangerous" place
White — the color of the Atlantic Ocean, because I only saw clouds…
August 14, 2013 – Technology and faith and dreams are carrying me across the Atlantic again.
But what a difference. Two summers ago I spent 11 days crossing a blue ocean more than 1,500 miles wide and in places, more than two miles deep. Then I was on a 590-foot ship. Today I am riding high above it in a eight-across-two-aisles 767 Boeing jet.
Those days I spent at the rail, either looking forward or watching the wake behind me, taught me an appreciation of oceans, water, space, time and the perseverance of early explorers that no other experience could have. Certainly nothing like what any of us learn crossing the Atlantic at 37,000 feet, hundreds of miles per hour with fuzzy Hollywood movies on overhead screens.
The Bahamas to Spain, from June 17 to June 28, 2011 was the beginning of my first Semester at Sea voyage. An unforgettable beginning to a summer full of extraordinary sights. I taught a 10-day writing workshop during that crossing and discovered what "Mr. Myers and/or Ms. Briggs" knew all along.
I like teaching.
At the end of the summer I knew I wanted to make more of these experiences happen. Both the teaching and the voyaging. I didn't know when, but to capture that feeling I made a password I knew I would use regularly — "voyage#1″ — just to make sure I didn't become too secure, too comfortable in my at-home world. Each time I had to enter that password at my desk job I was reminded to push back against the inertia and its seduction that works against being an explorer. I reinforced the sentiment at home by pasting a John le Carre´ quote where I would see it daily:
"A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world."
I suppose I don't really need reminders, given that for decades I have been re-purchasing the same shower curtain, a world map, another daily reminder of my dreams to see and go places.
So now here I am in seat 27A. A window seat without a decent view, except for the arcing curve we had flying over Lake Michigan, after leaving Chicago. I'm starting a discovery process over again. Thinking the next four months may hold some of the wonder I longed for when the 2011 voyage had become past tense, but not sure, even now, what the balance will be:
Am I just wanting the past to repeat, or seeking newness in my future?
In the next couple months I will be going to some places I have been before — but years ago. The Netherlands beckons again, 40 years after I lived there with the family Vrijdag. I'm going back to Ireland, where I traveled by bicycle and car a few years after that. Our route this fall shares a common port with my 2011 voyage, and we will dock again in Casablanca.
I'm not so naive as to think it won't all look different. It will. I can't repeat any portion of the past really. But I am eager to stay tethered to my present, too. Thankfully there is a free seat beside me on the seven-hour flight to London, so I can curl up with the black velour travel blanket and matching neck pillow I purchased on my way back home in August 2011, when a late afternoon thunderstorm stranded me in La Guardia overnight.
(that's a whole 'nother story…)
Two of my four traveling bags are repeats from that trip, too. Two are improvements. With wheels. I will never forget kicking an impossibly heavy duffle across the tiled floors in the humid air of the Nassau airport terminal on the first day of that most memorable summer. Much of my clothing dates from the earlier trip. And I have packed my Semester at Sea lanyard and coffee mug. So I am not starting out the same way as before at all, with no expectations.
Just the understanding that I still don't know what to expect.

Harms WayHarms Way: Reality ApporachesReality Apporaches (2009)Organized Crime Reviewer Rating: 3.5 Contributed by: ffwoodycockffwoodycock (others by this writer | submit your own)
Harms Way has grown a bit since their debut 7", Imprisoned. That release featured short bursts of energy with the occasional metal-inspired riff thrown in. Most of the songs clocked in at under a minute. Their self-titled 7", however, contained a primer of what to expect in the near future. The Chicago-area band's debut full-length features hardcore mixed with metal, evoking comparisons to the likes of Crowbar and Infest. With songs entitled "Watch Them Hang" and "Human Hunter," coupled with their vocalist's affinity to wearing an executioner's mask on-stage, Harms Way gives the listener quite a few expectations. Fortunately, the album follows through on what it promises.

Score is for the reviewers name. saw this band live a month back... and all I have to say is their singer is a fucking roided monkey! Album has grown on me, i'd probably give it an 8 now. Band is awesome. I was at the release show for this record and they ripped. Have heard good things about said band. If they really do sound kind of like Crowbar and Infest then i'm fucking sold. |

Gallagher rocked by new allegation of collecting money for Fianna Fail
Presidential front-runner admits he may have accepted envelope
Live coverage of the Irish presidential election on IrishCentral - Friday, October 28th
In a sensational move Sinn Fein candidate Martin McGuinness has accused presidential front runner Sean Gallagher of deliberately misleading voters and hiding the fact that he had received payments on behalf of Fianna Fail, the former government party, now discredited.
McGuinness made the accusation on the final debate of the campaign when he stated a witness had come forward to reveal that he had personally given a check to Gallagher for Fianna Fail after a fundraiser.
Gallagher at first denied the specific incident that McGuinness referred to, but later stated that he may well have accepted a payment.
The immediate aftermath of the incident saw Paddy Power bookmakers remove Gallagher from as the favorite and install Labor candidate Michael D.Higgins instead. The election is on Thursday.

Gallagher calls on McGuinness to come forward with information on McCabe murder
The alleged incident happened in 2009 after a fundraiser for Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen in Dundalk County Louth. Gallagher has stated he attended the fundraiser but did not raise any money or collect any checks.
However, McGuinness stated that the businessman had come forward to state that he had given Gallagher a check when he called to his home.
The person he accepted the payment from is said to be a Newry businessman who pleaded guilty to tax evasion and fuel smuggling and received a suspended 18-month jail sentence in 1998.
Gallagher at first denied it but then admitted to audience jeers that he may have collected an envelope.
If Gallagher has been untruthful on the issue it could damage his campaign greatly as his opponents have sought repeatedly to link him to Fianna Fail fundraising without success.
Already bookmaker Paddy Power has pushed him out to even money with Labor candidate Micheal D. Higgins the new favorite at 8/11.
Earlier on Monday, McGuinness had stated that Sean Gallagher is "up to his neck in Fianna Fail".
"There's no doubt that some people would say Seán has been up to his neck in Fianna Fáil," McGuinness said during a live radio/online debate on Monday hosted by Newstalk radio and Google.
During the debate McGuinness accused his opponent of having strong tied to the party.
"Sean Gallagher's party wrecked the economy, destroyed the economy, brought about mass unemployment and immigration," McGuinness said.

ABSTRACT: To elucidate recent findings regarding female puberty. The successful completion of puberty is a prerequisite for reproduction. Many later disorders of fertility and metabolism may develop during puberty. New more sensitive and specific assays provided us with possibilities for a better understanding of the process of puberty, and the discovery of new factors such as leptin evoked the hope of finding key regulators of the onset of puberty. The secular trend towards earlier menarche appears now to have come to an end, but discussions about changes in the age of pubertal onset still continue. In a few detected cases of leptin mutations puberty has not occurred spontaneously. The intact secretion of leptin seems to be a necessary prerequisite for the onset of puberty. Apart from that, recent research has indicated that leptin levels mainly reflect body composition. Leptin as well as gonadotropins, steroids and growth hormone shows specific circadian patterns. The 24 h pattern of leptin is similar before and after puberty, but the 24 h pattern of the other hormones changes. The serum concentration of inhibin B increases in the years preceding puberty and in early puberty, whereas inhibin A increases in mid to late puberty. The biological significance of the changing circadian patterns remains to be determined. Inhibin B serum concentrations together with follicle-stimulating hormone may indicate remaining potential ovarian activity during childhood in, for example, patients with Turner syndrome, but more information and other possible markers are needed.Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology 11/2002; 14(5):475-81. · 2.64 Impact Factor -
Article: Adolescent contraception
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sexual health for adolescents is based on three components: recognizing sexual rights, sexuality education and counseling, and confidential, high quality services. Contraception needs to include prevention of both STIs and pregnancies. The main options for adolescents are condoms, backed up by emergency contraception, and oral contraceptives in a longer, mutually monogamous relationship. Condoms and hormonal contraception together can be well recommended for adolescents. Condom use should not be stopped before it is reasonably certain that the partner is STI-negative. Other alternatives can be considered in special cases. Improved contraceptive methods do not automatically lead to reduced numbers of adolescent abortions. The prevention of unintended adolescent pregnancies requires four elements: a desire to use protection, a good contraceptive method, ability to obtain the contraceptive method, and ability to use it. All these components are important and if one is missing, contraception will fail. In the developed countries, we have good contraceptive methods, but improvements are still needed in the other components. When adolescent sexuality is not condemned, but sexuality education and sexual health services instead are provided, it is possible to profoundly improve adolescent sexual health at comparatively small costs. Each year new groups of young people mature, requiring new efforts.International Congress Series 1266:81–89.

I'm assuming 'coloured' refers to black models, so 7 women of colour walked in this year's show (Jourdan Dunn, Cindy Bruna, Joan Smalls, Maria Borges, Malaika Firth, Jasmine Tookes, and Lais Ribeiro).
I think they made that commercial specifically for the fashion show because online there are only 30 second-long clips as you said. So in short, no I don't know! x
Once someone uploads the full show I'll post it! But for now we're gonna have to stick with separated clips.

Campaigns divide some couples along gender lines
'Experience issue' is the main reason given for Clinton support.
Published: Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2008 at 11:56 p.m.
NEW YORK Andrea Brustein and her husband, Michael Firestone, both New York attorneys, were having lunch with friends when the talk turned to politics. Firestone revealed that he'd made a donation to Barack Obama.
"Well," parried his wife. "Now we're going to donate to Hillary Clinton."
And when Greg Caucutt acquired an Obama bumper sticker for his car on a sunny day in Rochester, Minn., necessity dictated that he give his wife a sticker for hers: A Hillary sticker, that is.
Not that these couples have been fighting tooth and nail - their political banter has been friendly, they say. And surely there are divided couples on the Republican side, too. But in this historic Democratic race, which will produce either the first female or the first black nominee, some couples are finding themselves split down gender lines, even if they don't cite gender as a reason for choosing their candidate. And it's producing some animated household discussions.
It's difficult to measure how many couples are split between the two candidates - pollsters only interview one member of a household. But conversations with a number of couples across the nation showed that when couples are split, it's often the man for Obama and the woman for Clinton.
Yet for the women interviewed, gender solidarity isn't usually the reason they mention. It tends to be the "experience issue," as well as a feeling that Clinton has long been unfairly criticized.
Exit polls in early primary states have shown Clinton losing among young women under 30, while winning most women older than that. And an Associated Press-Yahoo News survey released Friday shows Clinton with more than double the support of women overall than Obama. The interviews, however, were conducted before the departure of John Edwards and at a very fluid point in the race.
Obama performs strongly among black women. Exit polls in South Carolina and Florida showed them voting in roughly the same proportions as black men: eight in 10 in South Carolina and seven in 10 in Florida.
Carl Horton, Jr., a financial services executive in Bridgeport, Conn. who ran for mayor there and has been active in Democratic politics, says he was a Chris Dodd supporter until the Connecticut senator dropped out. Now, he supports Obama.
His wife, Kristin duBay Horton, a public health consultant, was an Edwards supporter until the former North Carolina senator dropped out this week, admiring his focus on poverty. Now, she is undecided.
"I'm waiting for the skies to part and a light to shine down and say, 'this is the one,"' she says. "My husband wants me on the Obama train with him, but I can't go right now."
But the couple's divided allegiances suit them fine. "I think it's great," says Carl Horton. "It's a sign that we're both independent-minded, thoughtful people."
There are, of course, all types of family splits, including a prominent sister split in California, where Rep. Linda Sanchez of Los Angeles has endorsed Obama, while her older sister, Rep. Loretta Sanchez of Orange County, has endorsed Clinton.
And sometimes, it goes without saying, it's the woman going for Obama. Though New York's Rep. Charles Rangel has been a huge Clinton supporter, his wife, Alma Rangel, endorsed Obama in a statement Friday, soon after reports emerged that she'd attended a fundraising luncheon with Michelle Obama.
And though the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan was an architect of Clinton's first bid for the Senate, his widow, Elizabeth B. Moynihan, endorsed Obama this week, adding that she believed her husband would have applauded her choice.
With Super Tuesday only days away, the couples interviewed seem to be standing their ground. "He knows he's not going to convince me," says Brustein, the New York lawyer. "He can understand why I'm supporting Clinton, and I can understand why he's supporting Obama." Does her husband still harbor hopes of changing his wife's mind? "I know better than to say anything publicly about that," he quips.
As for Caucutt, like virtually everyone interviewed, he's ready to enthusiastically support whichever candidate emerges victorious, despite his Obama bumper sticker.
"If Hillary gets the nomination, I'll be happy to put HER sticker on my car," he says.

The engine in your car actually has to breathe in order to run well. Your car inhales through the air intake system and exhales through the exhaust. The air intake system is going to be the focal point for this article.
The intake is designed to perform two basic functions for your engine: get air into the engine and keep the air clean. For our purposes, we will refer to these functions as flow and filtration.
Flow is simply a measure of how much air a filter an intake will allow into the engine. For the most part, an increase in air flow means an increase in power as more fuel can be used to create a stronger detonation in the cylinder. A bigger "boom" produces more power. Restrictive or dirty air filters can have an extremely negative impact on engine performance. To get an idea what restricted air flow feels like, put a towel over your mouth and run to the end of your street and back—we don't actually recommend you do this unless you enjoy passing out in front of your neighbors.
Filtration is a measure of how well a filter prohibits dust, dirt and other foreign matter from entering the combustion chambers in your engine. Your engine is designed to run on air and fuel—it doesn't want to try to burn up dirt from the construction site you are driving past. If you have ever accidentally inhaled a bit of powdered sugar from that morning donut, you know what it feels like to cope with extra particulates (cough cough).
Air filters typically use cotton gauze, paper or foam to trap foreign debris before it gets sucked into your engine. Each material provides varying degrees of flow and filtration. The stock filter on many applications is paper. Paper tends to filter better than foam and cotton, but foam and cotton tend to flow better than paper.
The filter is only one of the two primary components in an air intake system; the other component is the tube and housing (if equipped) through which the air flows once it passes through the filter. Tubes and housings come in multiple configurations and are typically made of plastic or aluminum. The intake tube and housing is designed to route as much cool air as possible to the engine. Intakes are often designed to strategically place the filter in an area of the engine compartment where the ambient air temperature is as cool as possible. Some intakes include housings that surround the filter to provide both greater protection and "forced" air flow.
Companies like K&N, Airaid and AFE produce a wide variety of filters and intakes for vehicles of all types. These aftermarket systems tend to flow better than factory units while continuing to filter extremely well. If you are looking for an easy do-it-yourself performance upgrade, a new air intake system could be just what you need. Bolt one on and breathe easy.

These are the games that we would have played, had they ever been released. Demonik was developed by Terminal Reality and published by Majesco until Majesco ran out of money. The game was featured in the movie Grandma's Boy which if you haven't seen yet, it's hilarious.

SANFORD, Fla. -- Prosecutors will ask a judge to impose a gag order in the case of a former neighborhood watch leader accused of fatally shooting Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. Assistant state attorney Bernie de la Rionda is set to argue his motion Friday. De la Rionda says in his court filing that he believes George Zimmerman's defense attorney, Mark O'Mara, has been using a website, social media and news conferences to influence potential jurors. O'Mara launched a website, as well as Twitter and Facebook accounts in April, citing a need to diffuse fraudulent Internet entities that claimed to come from Zimmerman. O'Mara contends he doesn't discuss any specific evidence and has been compliant with all bar rules. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the February shooting and has pleaded not guilty.

Movie Info
Romanian director Cristian Nemescu's comedy California Dreamin' (aka Nesfarsit, 2007) unfolds against the backdrop of the Kosovo War, circa 1999. A NATO train rolls through a Romanian hamlet, transporting a plethora of weapons across the country -- without official documents, and equipped only with the verbal consent of the Romanian authorities. The transport thus grows intensely vulnerable to the locals -- particularly the corrupt head of the railway station, who moonlights as a mobster and

It could use a trim, but only rarely does it strain for effect, and, for a young man, Nemescu was uncannily versed in the emotions of middle age.
For now at least, we have to be content with this pleasing comedy in search of an editor.
California Dreamin' is a rambunctious, closely observed comedy of cultural collision.
A deft fable that maps global concerns onto a local story with confidence and wit.
At its present length it sprawls shamelessly in terms of the ultimate futility of its narrative.
Nemescu's promising young voice will be sorely missed, not only in Romanian cinema but also on the international scene.
A sharp-edged socio-political satire that clearly lets Americans know how they are viewed abroad by foreigners.
A solid film that reminds us of how America is perceived throughout the world, and what a loss it was that director Nemescu died so young.
... part goofy village comedy, part geopolitical allegory, part satire.
California Dreamin' mostly observes a series of complicated personal interactions, its point helped along by Doiaru's speeches concerning the ongoing American failure even to try to comprehend the populations it invades, assimilates, abuses, and buys off.
"Occasionally drags and slightly overstays its welcome, but still it's mostly intriguing and intelligent.
Another rewarding dark satire from Romania, the feature debut of a director who died tragically young.
The film plays out with an impressive singularity of purpose.
What surprises and delights is how complete the work feels, finished in every way aesthetically and thematically, any longueurs or asides entirely part of Nemescu's indelible emotional tapestry.
[It] could do with some editing (indeed, the parenthetical in the title refers to its unshaped state), but there's just as little doubt that Nemescu's work is pretty worthy as is.
Engaging, impressively directed and ultimately devastating drama with strong performances and a powerful political message.
Unfinished but certainly not unworthy; a diamond in the rough.
As it looks now, the film lacks any pace to speak of, but much more serious are the absence of a distinct narrative style and an abundance of hesitant directorial decisions, badly in need of an editing table, if the plot has to make sense at all.
Audience Reviews for California Dreamin' (Nesfarsit) (Endless)
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
"California Dreamin'" is a decent enough tragicomedy and satirical allegory of both Romania's relationship to the world and America's effects on everybody else. It might seem a little odd that very few people in the village can speak English(yet, they can find an Elvis impersonator) in a post-Communist world but not so much that the Americans can only speak English.(Although, Romanian might make for a obscure choice in any case.) At the same time, despite their military might, a single stationmaster can bring everything to a halt. That's okay. Sometimes, a day off can do the world of good.(I really do sympathize with being stuck on a stopped train for a prolonged amount of time.) However, a lot of this feels forced with a slight "Romeo and Juliet" story line thrown in for good measure. For the record, absurd situations in Eastern Europe have been the stuff of fiction for a long time, but usually with no explanations given which is kind of the point.

Business Diary: Orange moves staff – to Manila
Monday 02 May 2011
There is some embarrassment at the mobile phone company Orange, reports People Management magazine, which has had to apologise to 40 staff in its office in Darlington. It offered them good news and bad recently. On the downside, their jobs were being moved to the Philippines – more positively, Orange, added, they were free to apply for the posts. Based in Manila, the jobs paid £200 a month plus a generous rice allowance. Orange blames a "human resources error".
Don't mess with a Yorkshire pub
Peter Wilkinson, a self-made millionaire – £300m according to the Rich List – didn't get where he is today by throwing good money after bad. Still, he probably should have thought twice before announcing plans that might see the closure of The Plough, a pub he owns in Fadmoor, North Yorkshire, if he is unable to sell the hostelry. True, it's losing thousand of pounds. Equally true, Mr Wilkinson owns another pub, the Royal Oak, which is 700 yards away in the neighbouring village of Gillamoor. But The Plough's regulars are up in arms over the thought of having to sup their pints elsewhere.
What's in a tuna mayo sandwich?
The interminable wait for the jury to come back in the Galleoninsider trading scandal last week saw court reporters wondering how to fill their days.

Some curious thoughts on BP
There's a fascinating survey published in this week's issue of PR Week magazine, one year on from the Deepwater Horizon disaster that so rocked BP. While opinion is mostly pretty damning of the oil giant – more than 90 per cent say the spill damaged the company's reputation – BP may take some comfort from the fact that nine in 10 people say they have not avoided the company's products as a result. And who exactly are the 5 per cent of people who PR Week found to say that their opinion of BP has actually improved as a result of the Gulf of Mexico accident?

Ai Miyazato holds three-shot lead
KAPOLEI, Hawaii -- Japan's Ai Miyazato shot a 2-under 70 on Friday in difficult wind conditions to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the LPGA LOTTE Championship.
The seven-time LPGA Tour winner had a 10-under 206 total at Ko Olina.
LPGA LOTTE Championship Leaderboard
1. Miyazato (-10)
T-2. Kerr (-7)
T-2. Munoz (-7)
T-4. Tseng (-6)
T-4. Ryu (-6)
T-4. Stanford (-6)
T-4. Shin (-6)
T-4. Lee (-6)
• More scores
She said the wind blew from basically the same direction for the third consecutive day.
"But it's still tough to play out there," Miyazato said. "I said to myself to just stay focused."
Cristie Kerr and Spain's Azahara Munoz, tied for the second-round lead with Miyazato, were second.
Kerr shot a 71, and Munoz had a 73. Kerr, a 14-time LPGA Tour winner, reached 8 under, but two bogeys on the back nine slowed her charge.
"I think I played pretty solid," Kerr said. "I had some putts on the front that I misread. I thought it played a little tougher today where the pins were and the way the wind was a little different angle and a little stronger."
Yani Tseng, the top-ranked Taiwanese star who has won three of first six events of the year, was 6 under along with U.S. Open champion So Yeon Ryu, Jiyai Shin, Meena Lee and Angela Stanford. Tseng and Ryu shot 69, the best scores of the day, while Shin and Stanford followed at 70, and Lee had a 71.
"I played a really solid round today," Tseng said. "I made a lot of putts. I'm still thinking to win. Four or five shots is really nothing on this golf course. It was really windy. You just go out there and have another fun day and enjoy."
Miyazato went 29 holes without a bogey as the trade winds blew hard across west Oahu before dropping a stroke on the par-3 12th. She rebounded with a birdie on the par-5 13th, had another bogey on the par-3 16th and got back to 10 under with a birdie on the difficult par-4 18th.
"It was a really strong finish. I was really happy," Miyazato said. "The 18th is a really difficult tee shot, and of course the second shot was really tough, too. I had a really nice number today. I just hit a nice and easy 7-iron, and just a short bounce in front of the green. It was perfect, so I'm very happy with that."
Miyazato said a three-shot lead means little if the wind stays up. Keeping it simple will be a big part of her game plan on Sunday.
"Just need to focus on my game one for day," Miyazato said. "Keep my swing tempo and try to hit the fairways and greens and make some putts. So that's the key points."
Munoz had four birdies and five bogeys in her erratic round.
"I think I played much better than the result," Munoz said. "I haven't been nervous all day and I think actually at the beginning I was a little too calm. Sometimes it's nice to be a little nervous."
Lee won the 2006 Fields Open at Ko Olina, also the site of LPGA Tour events in 1990-95 and 2006-08.

"Anderson County lawyer Patricia Hess was publicly censured on April 24 for representing a client who had appeared before her while she was a juvenile court judge. Hess presided in a child custody matter but was defeated as juvenile court judge while the case was pending. She then began representing one of the parties in the matter without receiving the consent of all parties as required by the Rules of Professional Conduct. The court ordered her to report her actions to the Board of Professional Responsibility and obtain an informal opinion about any possible conflict of interest. Hess failed to abide by the court's written order and was removed from the case. In reviewing the matter, the board determined that Hess violated Rules 1.12(a) and 8.4(g) of the Rules of Professional Conduct."
She knowingly took money on a case that she presided over as Judge. She knows better than that. Obviously, the public got it right in 2006.
