Marshalltown, Iowa (September 21st, 2013) – As the season came to an end at the Marshalltown Speedway on Saturday night the race fans were left in awe and awaiting the 2014 version of the World Nationals. A record 219 teams jammed into the pit area and thrilled the great racing fans all night long.
Pat Fagen led the first lap in the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Truck feature event but it was Bret Moyer taking the nod by lap three. Moyer slipped up on lap four and that allowed Fagen to get by just before the caution waived. On the restart, Moyer got by Fagen for the lead and never looked back despite a pair of cautions on lap five. Moyer took the win and the Dirt Truck Series Championship, Fagen came home second, Rick Clark was third, Paul Nagle, driving a Old Bugs Vincent truck came home fourth and Bryan Nevins Sr was fifth.
Before a single lap was completed in the IMCA Hobby Stock feature the caution waived for debris in turn four after several cars got together on the start. Austin Luellen jumped to the lead and the only thing that slowed him down was a caution on lap seven and then again on 11. Luellen took the win over last night's winner Jamie Songer, John Watson, Eric Stanton and Bill Bonnett.
Geoff Olson and Matt Lettow started on the front row in the Karl Chevrolet IMCA SportModfeature. Olson led the first 12 laps but as he started to encounter lap traffic that allowed Tony Dunker, who was able to get by Lettow for the second spot to take over the lead. Dunker and Olson battled it out but then the caution came out on lap 17 giving Dunker clean air. Dunker held off challenges from Olson, Lettow and in the end Doug Smith to take the win. Smith came home in second after starting eleventh, Lettow finished third, Geoff Olson fourth, and the previous night's winner Carter VanDenBerg was fifth.
The IMCA Stock Cars feature lived up to their name of the Class to Tough Tame as they ran 20 laps green-to-checkered. There was exciting all thru the field but eyes kept going back to the battle for the lead. Damon Murty grabbed the top spot early but Beatrice, Nebraska's Kyle Vanover got by Jordan Grabouski for second before setting his sights on getting the lead from Murty on lap six. Murty and Vanover battled it out until the end, but it was Vanover cashing in the $1,000 payday. Murty, Green Bay's John Heinz, Donavon Smith and Andy Altenburg round out the top five.
The final feature of the night was the World Nationals 50 lap Modified feature presented by PBM, Erson, and World Products. This feature did not disappoint as there was great three and four wide racing all thru the field. Adam Larson and Jacob Murray battled hard for the lead. Adam Larson would lead the first two laps before the caution waived when Richie Gustin came to a stop on the backstretch. Murray was able to get by Larson for the lead on lap nine as the two cars fought door to door just inches apart. Larson grabbed it back on lap 13 before they swapped the lead two more times before the second caution on lap 16. Murray then checked away as there was a fierce battle between five cars for the second spot. Jeremy Mills started tenth and worked his way to a runner up finish only to break a J-bar on the last lap. Darin Duffy came out of a last chance heat and started 14th to finish third, Brian Mullen of Seymour, WI finished in fourth and Larson rounded of the top five.
Just before the start of the World Nationals fans were on the edge of their seat waiting to see who would take home the 2013 Larry Shaw rolling chassis. It was Pam Peterson of Johnston, IA with the winning ticket. The runner up won a 55" TV and that went home to Darrel Lehigh of Fisher, IL. The third ticket drawn was Josh Daniels of Des Moines and he was awarded four tickets to the 2014 World Nationals. A big thanks goes out to Larry Shaw, Performance Bodies, Bob Harris Enterprises, AFCO, Fast Shafts, BSB Manufactuing, Aero Wheels, Joe Gibbs Driven Oil, Chase Decals, Eibach, Millers Custom Powder Coating, and SCS Fabrication for making the rolling chassis possible. The additional money from ticket sales of gracious fans will see the Wounded Warrior Foundation receiving a check for $3,340.
Thanks to all the great sponsors helping out with the World Nationals: Kirchners Machine, Sput's Racing Engines, Harvey's Automotive Machine, Tony's Machine, Mullins Racing Engines; Tim's Automotive & Machine, Schmidt Machine, KS Engineering, Midstate Machine, Grawmonbecks Engine Rebuilding, Speedway Illustrated, Webster City Machine, Smith Engine & Machine, Karl Performance, Fagen Racing/Layne Transmissions, Mahle Motorsports, RaceQuip Safety Equipment, High Velocity Heads, World Products, PBM Perfomance Products/Erson Cams, Driven Racing Oil, Federal Mogul, Edelbrock, EQ Cylinder Heads and Heartland Auto Racing Show.

Arizona's Broken Arrow

ASU President Michael Crow wanted the university to be "the place to go for North American Indian Studies" when he started in 2002.
Photography by Mark Peterman
Trust of outsiders doesn't come easily here, but once it comes, it's cherished. The tribe seems particularly leery about medical intrusions; giving their blood would be one of the most discussed and agonizing decisions they'd ever make. Everyone will tell you they only agreed because they trusted this white man named John Martin.
By 1989, it was clear diabetes was an epidemic in the village. Elders had it, younger men and women had it, and now it was showing up in children. That, probably more than anything, is what prompted the huddle at a summer picnic, where they asked their friend John Martin if his people at ASU could help them figure out how to overcome this medical calamity.
"I saw many of my people with this sickness," says Rex Tilousi, who was vice chairman of the tribe then. "I saw legs amputated and people having to take shots every day. I went to John and told him my concerns for the future. He came back and said, 'We can help.'"
Martin, who had been teaching at ASU since 1966, knew this request was a breakthrough with the tribe, and he thought help could come in two forms: genetic research and nutrition education. He went back to ASU in the summer of 1989 looking for the best experts he could find.
For the nutrition aspect of the study, Martin approached ASU professor Linda Vaughan, who eagerly joined the project. Vaughan would tell Hart she knew this to be a "diabetes only" project.
Then Martin went looking for a human geneticist, and he didn't have to search hard. At the time, ASU's genetic research was mostly done on animals; very little work was being performed on humans. The entire university had only one human geneticist, but she was already a true star in getting research grants. Therese Markow, a biology professor with an interest in schizophrenia, welcomed Martin's invitation. She told him she would like to expand the research to also test for schizophrenia.
The Hart Report explains what happened next:
"Martin told Markow that in all likelihood the Havasupai Tribe would not be interested in a study on schizophrenia. He told Markow, instead, that the Havasupai were terrified about the present and future effects of diabetes and that if they started work on diabetes, they might be able to broaden the scope of the project later.
"There is no question in Dr. Martin's mind that this project was all about diabetes, although at times Markow pushed for possible (future) work on schizophrenia…. Martin thought that Markow eventually 'pulled back' on the idea of studying schizophrenia among the Havasupai."
Vaughan also says she understood that Markow's interest in schizophrenia research "never got off the ground." But it did. Almost immediately, in September 1989, Markow applied for a grant from the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression to study schizophrenia in the Havasupai people. They awarded her $92,880, according to the Hart Report.
The blood draws began in July 1990, when graduate student Kevin Zuerlein was sent to Supai. That summer, he collected blood from about 100 tribal members – those most committed to the project. At least, that was his day job. At night, when everyone had gone home, he searched through medical records in the Indian Health Service clinic, looking for signs of schizophrenia in specific tribal members from a list Markow had given him. He told the Hart investigators he had a "mandate" from Markow to search for schizophrenia and was under the impression she had "permission" for these clandestine record searches.
But the Hart Report quotes four officials of the Indian Health Service, all saying there was "no way" anyone would have authorized such an invasion of privacy.
David Morgan, who oversaw medical services for the IHS at the time, says if anyone had ever asked for such a review – and no one ever did – it would have been a "major event" and could only have happened if approved by both the Tribal Council and individual tribal members. He says that approval would never have been given, noting mental health issues are "very sensitive" with the tribe.
About the same time Zuerlein was secretly going through medical records, ASU was hosting eight young women from the tribe for a summer program on campus that taught them about nutrition and exercise and their relationship to diabetes. Markow had helped get the grant to pay for the summer program. By the end of the summer in 1990, the ASU News Bureau was touting the Havasupai diabetes project in a news release. Martin could boast to the tribe that ASU President Lattie Coor was so impressed with the project he had made it one of the university's "top five priorities." As far as the public knew, this project was about diabetes only.
In fact, Hart would find the only ones who didn't believe this project focused entirely on diabetes were Markow and Zuerlein, who thought of this as "Dr. Markow's project on schizophrenia which had a diabetes component." But even then, Zuerlein said he never heard schizophrenia mentioned by members of the tribe or at the Tribal Council meetings he attended; he only heard the project referring to diabetes.

Soon afterward she discovered, while putting up flyers for the show, that the accident had helped them in the all-mighty word-of-mouth department. "'Is that the show where somebody got stabbed?' they asked. I said, 'Yeah, you should see it.' They went, 'Yeaaah!'<0x2009>"
Bullock while still a practicing artist and one of the biggest events presenters around, associated with everything from the Sea of Dreams NYE parties to the SF Burning Man events, Decompression, and Flambé Lounge notes wryly that these days he's not always recognized when he strays from Anon to the other side of the building. In truth, his and Crosby's involvement with the theater side of Climate is limited. "I'm still a board member, and I'm still sub-landlord of this space," he says. "But I don't have much to say about the programming."
The theater itself is the Climate's second incarnation after a progressively overtaxed Bullock and Crosby finally decided to hang up their theater hats and vacate the storefront space at 252 Ninth St. in the late '90s and it's the handiwork of magician, actor, showman, and impresario Paul Nathan of Dark Kabaret a lavishly popular event that has served in part, like Bullock and Crosby's famous Glashaus parties, as a fundraiser for the theater.
Nathan happened to be driving by, contemputf8g a sojourn in Europe in the wake of the dot-com bust, when he saw the for-rent sign at Ninth and Folsom. He knew the space well from Glashaus party days and the old Billboard Café, which derived its name from the sheets with painted messages that regularly hung from the roof. "I thought, you know, small theater is a dumb idea," he says. "But with a billboard there, we might be able to make a go of it." He got a good deal on the rent from Bullock, built a stage in the empty space, and took on the Climate name again with Bullock's hearty approval.
"We started with Devil in the Deck and Titillation Theater," Nathan recalls. The evolving smart and sexy sketches of Titillation Theater (favorite program title: Let's Pretend I'm Not Your Mother) produced another long-running success for the Climate. "We got huge crowds, but we were also advertising in the Chronicle, so our advertising budget was just insane," he adds. "We were breaking even, or making a little bit of money each week. But we really didn't know what we were doing. There was no grant money." Eventually, Nathan says, they couldn't afford to continue: "You do the numbers it just can't happen."
Journey across the gulf of the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, during which the theater briefly disappeared along with many other art spaces and artists, to the moment when Heidt joined the Climate in 2007. In step with the intrepid optimism she detects in her SoMa environs, she has cheerfully and tirelessly overseen a remarkable resurgence of activity at the 49-seat black-box theater. With its all-volunteer staff, the venue hit a high point in February, presenting in that one month 16 downright disparate shows, including the current West Coast premiere of Skin, a smart, bold, adults-only rumination on lust and fidelity by the sharp and whimsical young Atlanta playwright Steve Yockey, a coproduction with Encore Theater, which coproduced Yockey's Octopus at the Magic last year.
As offbeat as any play by Yockey promises to be, it remains one of the more straight-ahead components in an unusually varied theatrical lineup.

On Wednesday, an 8-year environmental pact between the United States and Mexico will be signed by dignitaries from both sides of the border.
The Border 2020: U.S.-Mexico Environmental Program is set to be officially unveiled during a news conference in Tijuana.
The program is a collaboration between the U.S. and Mexico to improve the environment and protect the health of the nearly 12 million people living along the border. The bi-national program focuses on cleaning the air, providing safe drinking water, reducing the risk of exposure to hazardous waste, and ensuring emergency preparedness along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Border 2020 calls for a "bottom-up" approach at tackling the environmental and public health needs of those in the border region, meaning issues and projects with be addressed at a local level.
In an announcement of Wednesday's event, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) stated, "The Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Lisa P. Jackson, and the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources of México, Juan Rafael Elvira Quesada, will lead the celebration that will close 10 years of successful binational cooperation under the Border 2012 Program and the announcement of the beginning of the new Border 2020 Environmental Program that will allow us to continue and strengthen our binational border cooperation."
Among topics to be discussed Wednesday:
-Launch the new binational Border 2020 Program and celebrate accomplishments of the Border 2012 Program.
-Take first steps towards completing Regional and Borderwide Action Plans (which lay out realistic work to be accomplished in the next two years).
-Discuss strategies to strengthen partnerships, collaboration and communication.

Every now and then, a random memory from my childhood will pop unto my head. When that happens, it's up to me and Google to try and track it down.
When I was a kid, my mom used to buy me lots of "knock-off" records — compilations of songs and movie themes recorded by people other than the original artists. I think K-TEL released a lot of these types of records. There's one I specifically remember owning that had the theme to Star Wars and a few other movies on it. Every now and then for no particular reason that album will pop into my head. I've tried finding it via Google before, but the only details I can really remember is that the cover had a drawing of a lightsaber from Star Wars, and that the album contained the themes to Star Wars, 2001, Superman, and Omega Race.
Something at lunch today sparked the memory of this album once again, and when I got home I decided to try (once again) to find it. I tried dozens of different combinations of the words "album", "record", "vinyl", and "lightsaber on cover", combined with the movie titles I previously mentioned. The breakthrough came when I figured out that the song I keep remembering was not called Omega Race — it was called Space Race.
Armed with that information, I went back to the watering hole and found this link, which lead to the following picture:
Underneath the Star Trek album on the right, there are four miniature thumbnails. The one with the purple writing and the two lightsabers is it!!
WONDERLAND, not K-TEL! That was the final piece of the puzzle. A quick Google search of "Wonderland Star Wars Theme" came back with the Franklin Mint Blog, who has kindly (and maybe illegally?) posted a link to download the entire album.
Here is the album's set list:
01 – Theme From Star Wars
02 – Rocket Man
03 – Theme from the Six Million Dollar Man
04 – Beyond the Outer Limits
05 – Starlight
06 – Theme from Star Trek
07 – Theme from 2001 (Also Sprach Zarathustra)
08 – Space Race
09 – Theme from the Bionic Woman
10 – Theme from Superman
It's as cheesy as I remembered it! Thanks to Franklin Mint for posting the album. Remember kids, with Google, anything is possible. :)

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Read all Center publications on Syria
In March 2011, the Syrian government responded to peaceful protests with brutal force, sinking the country into civil war. Two years of armed conflict—with more than 100,000 dead, 2 million refugees, 4.5 million internally displaced persons, and an entire population brutalized by incessant violence—has left deep wounds. Worryingly, sectarianism has come to characterize much of the violence, which has produced fissures that threaten to tear Syria apart in even more destructive ways. The international community is debating potential political and military responses to the humanitarian crisis. Thus far, outside pressure appears to have had little impact on bringing the war to a close. In the meantime, Syria's civilian population continues to suffer extreme violence with little hope of respite.
Center for Civilians in Conflict focuses on how warring parties can best avoid civilian harm as the conflict evolves and how to help civilians post-harm. Since 2012, our team has conducted multiple field missions into Syria and its neighboring countries, including Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon (which are now collectively home to over 2 million Syrian refugees, half of whom are children). We are assessing civilian protection issues stemming from the war and asking Syrians what assistance they need post-harm. During these missions, our staff interviewed Syrians from myriad confessional backgrounds, leaders of the political and armed opposition, Syrian army defectors, UN agencies, local and international NGO staff, government and military officials, lawmakers, diplomats, doctors and nurses, journalists, civil society activists, and religious leaders.
Based on this field research, the Center has issued several recent publications:
In March 2013, the Center published a briefing paper with recommendations to nations offering the Syrian opposition technical and material assistance. Specifically, we believe technical assistance should focus on the often difficult task of distinguishing between civilians and combatants; how to protect the force without involving civilians and their property; the creation of a coherent chain of command; how to respectfully respond to civilian harm; and future planning for victims' needs post-conflict.
In January 2013, the Center convened an expert roundtable to consider the impact of foreign military involvement in Syria through a civilian harm mitigation lens. The five options included: training and equipping the armed opposition; conducting limited airstrikes; deploying Patriot batteries around Syria; creating no-fly and no-drive zones; and deploying an international security force post-conflict. Read the outcomes and analysis here.
Our December 2012 issue brief on Civilian Protection in Syria—based on interviews with members of the armed opposition, civilians, doctors, and civil society—analyzes the civilian protection mindset of the armed opposition, assesses the humanitarian situation, and contains detailed recommendations to donor governments.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.—The Heidelberg University baseball team opened the 2012 season today, falling to Moravian (Pa.) College, 5-2, today at the Snowbird Baseball Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla.
Both teams moved quietly through the first three innings.
In the top of the fourth inning, a one out walk opened the gate for three Moravian runs.
Heidelberg countered in the bottom half of the inning with a pair of runs, as an error and a walk put two runners on base for sophomore left fielder Ben Blystone (Brownsburg, Ind./Brownsburg), who capitalized with a single, scoring freshman first baseman Steve Morse (Scottsdale, Ariz./St. Mary's). Freshman catcher Alex Grove (Canal Fulton/Canton Central Catholic) followed with a single, scoring senior shortstop Ricardo Lizcano (Toledo/Start).
Moravian put up insurance runs in the sixth and ninth and Heidelberg was retired in order in the bottom of the ninth.
Freshman righthanded pitcher Ryan Minteer (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) started on the mound, working six innings and surrendering six hits and four runs, two earned. He registered two strikeouts in his first collegiate start. Senior southpaw Ross Pruitt (Elletsville, Ind./Edgewood) worked the seventh and eighth innings, while senior righty Daniel Brannum (Jamestown/Greeneview) finished out the ninth.
At the plate, Grove and Morse each went 1-for-3 with an RBI.
The Student Princes next play Monday, March 5 when they face Medaille (N.Y.) College at 3 p.m. at the Snowbird Baseball Classic.

Cheryl, with years of experience photographing black labs, is available to make images of your beloved dogs.
Much excitement in the house last night, Milly Jane had six puppies. Four girls, two boys. Mother and children are doing well! Congrats to Milly, my favorite Springer Spaniel.
Poor Ruby, a sad, neglected little puppy dog Who doesn't like stairs! While Milly Jane practices her death stare at the camera!
It was a cold and wintery afternoon. But the sun was out. And so were we. Me, Ruby, Paris, and Milly Jane! 'Don't think about coming near me, RUBY,' hissed…

This was my contribution to Julie Gray's Short Scene Contest. It made it to the top three as a finalist! The scene had to contain the three words "parakeet", "waltz" and "Sumatra".
JOHN appears to be watching two parakeets on the other side of a glass wall.
The male bird desperately tries to court the seemingly uninterested female. He approaches, she moves away, over and over like an endless waltz.
John's eyes keep to wander to JENNIE, a big-busted young woman watching the birds just a step from him.
He takes that step.
He stands close to her.
They are parakeets.
Jennie takes a step sideways away from John.
Yes, I know.
John takes another step to catch up.
They are from Sumatra.
Jennie gives him a look.
Oh, I thought they fetched them on
the Moon.
Jennie moves.
When John follows, Jennie crosses her arms and gives him a stern look.
Get lost, okay?
Jennie strides away.
John sighs.
One the other side of the glass the courting finally has paid off. The male sits on the female's back, mating.
John watches.
He turns and runs after Jennie, catching up.
Do you know where penguins come
The comments I got was positive, but I was asking myself why no one saw a potential rapist in John. I meant it to be a funny scene, but yet - why was John always a good guy.
Because I wrote the story from his point of view. I even gave him a name. He can't be dangerous then, can he?

Thread: Zoraida Vs Pandora
Zoraida Vs Pandora
Hi everyone, I have a game lined up on the weekend Vs Pandora.
I've played against her once and read her Pull My Finger entry. Last time I won due to schemes and got lucky by killing her with mudslide from Bad Juju.
I would like some feedback on this list and game plan. Do you think it would work? How could I improve it?
Neverborn Crew - 35 - Scrap
Zoraida, the Hag -- 5 Pool
Bad Juju, Mire Golem [10ss]
Papa Loco [7ss]
Stitched Together [5ss]
Stitched Together [5ss]
Sue [8ss]
The idea is that I announce bodyguard and put Zoraida in an annoying spot to obey with conduit. Because I have bodyguard for 2VP, I predict my opponent will advance up the table. I will hide Papa Loco near Zoraida, so that when Pandora gets close enough he can jump out and explode at her.
Sue and the two stitched will wait for the enemy to come forward and then start shooting/gambling. Sue will give the Stitched +2 Wp and give enemy models a neg flip on casting. I think this makes the Stitched Wp 8? What is Pandora's? I can foresee Pandora burning SS on the Gambler you life, if she uses them all she will open herself to Papa Loco.
My second scheme will be un-announced reclaim relic? I think this is what it is called, anyway, I mean the one where you specify a piece of terrain and have to end the game touching it. Bad Juju will appear deep in his side of the table, cause some trouble, then waddle over to the piece of terrain in the last couple of turns. If he dies, I just re spawn him near it if possible.
The Pull My Finger entry recommends a high model count. I'm concerned I don't have enough models, what are your thoughts? It also says deal with her crew first, this list probably wouldn't be very capable of that unless they all progress forward, in which case, the Stitched and Sue should do OK.

I will say, don't forget to take advantage of The Box Opens, which causes models within 12" to lose immunity to willpower duels. This will give you more opportunities to Obey models that you normally wouldn't be able to.

Pandora has a 0 action that causes incite or pacify to a model that is not already affected by incite or pacify. When it gets cast successfully, she gets to cast the 0 action again, as well as getting her 4inch push and your model taking 1 wound.
So if you have Tread the Line up, s he can target a model in the aura over and over again, because everytime she hits your model with incite/pacify, your model won't be wffected by it, which leaves it a legal target to be incite/pacified again, as many times as she casts it.The Viks in a nutshell - "I hit you for RawR! damage." "How much damage is that?"
"How much health do you have?... That much damage."
HAHA! Yeah, I remember the chain from the last time I played against her, but didn't make the connection. That would be quite amusing to see in a game :P
Any other advice for this encounter?

How will you adjust your crew if you flip a strategy that does not lend itself to reclaim relic? What is the back up plan if papa loco does not kill Pandora when he "explodes at her"? Have you considered the twins instead of juju/papa? They would give you an 8 pool. Or maybe an insidious and some night terrors, not as much obey fun but you could spread out past the box opens range and the insidious could put Pandora on - flips. Bodyguard with Z should be relatively easy, I'd pick 17ss worth of models and a scheme that complements the stragety. I'd venture a guess that the 2 stitched and Sue's willpower boost will help out a bit. What minions do you expect to face?
I don't think your list is much good, for two reasons:
- Even with Box Opens, Bad Juju is extremely slow and I don't think he will do you much good vs. a master (and crew) as mobile as Pandora('s). The 10 pts. cost is just too much for him.
- It's a risk to take Papa Loco outside of a Perdita crew, due to his "Esta loco" ability. Have you thought of taking Tuco instead?
- Silurid would be great for your scheme (I think it's stake a claim, but I may be wrong) with the terrain piece. Terror tots would probably be even better, since they could pretty much sprint all across the table and into the enemy deployment zone if you put your mind to it, and they're only 3 pts. It's relatively easy to keep them away from P's mind tricks if they're hidden out behind some cover. Plus you only need one, as opposed to at least two silurid.
- Having said that, you might need a heavy melee hitter of some sort, since your crew is heavily reliant on Wp as it is. A mature neph. did great the only time I've played Zoraida, or you could just switch BJJ and Papa for the twins, as suggested earlier.

New Bond girl Naomie Harris has revealed that when she got a call from her agent to inform her that she'll be cast as Moneypenny in the new 007 flick Skyfall, she couldn't control herself from screaming in excitement.
Harris has been caught up in the glamorous whirlwind that comes with being a Bond girl.
"I never ever thought I would be a Bond girl. I certainly didn't think I would be playing one aged 35. I didn't think I would ever get that call but I am loving it," the Sun quoted her as saying.
"I remember the day I found out I'd got the part very clearly. I was in Washington at the Kenyan embassy promoting another film I had done.

I first came across this fragrance on my very first trip to europe in 1994. A hostess on Singapore airlines was wearing it and I just had to ask her the name. I have been wearing it ever since. Its a little harder to find these days but now its available in the 150ml size its better value and lasts me about 2 years. I wear it absolutely everywhere and never grow tired of it.I receive lots of complements. Stays with you quite a while and doesnt change with my body chemistry as most are prone to do

Comments about Calyx By Prescriptives:
This product was given to me as a gift from my daughter approx 10yrs ago ... and she would know me and my likes/dislikes very well. Having introduced me to Calyx by Prescriptives, I realize this is the one for me. It is an attribute to my personality and am always complimented. My best friend has now decided (after several years) that she MUST get a bottle, after using mine whenever she visits. She does not indulge in heavy perfume use, preferring the subtle touch/scent.
I have found it to be one of the most sensuous fragrances around and it has become a basic item on my shopping list like sugar, salt, milk, bread etc

I use Calyx Prescriptives anytime of the day. And sometimes I spray the perfume at night especially when I am so exhausted because the scent makes me feel more relaxed. One time, I was walking in the subway together with my sister in law who is kinda distant from me and then she asked what perfume I was wearing. She smelled the scent from afar!! She said that the scent is so fresh and clean and the scent lingers in the wind. I can say that this perfume is a "head turner"!

Changing the Dialogue: Review of Documentary 'Israel Inside' (VIDEO)
By Jspace Staff on 5/24/2012 at 10:38 PM
Categories: Opinions, Israel, Entertainment
In just 55 minutes, "Israel Inside: How a Small Nation Makes a Big Difference" makes a compelling case for the Jewish State. Produced by JerusalemOnlineU.com, the documentary attempts to look "beyond the conflict" and focus on the positive contributions of the small but successful country.
Couched as a narrative following the personal journey of New York Times Bestselling Author and former Harvard lecturer Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, who left his job and life in America to return to his homeland, "Israel Inside" is actually a potent piece of positive publicity for a country often criticized by international media.
"I think about Israel as a country driven by technology and prosperity, while many others think only about camels, war and falafel," Ben-Shahar said of the film. "By shifting the focus onto the strength and resilience of the Jewish people in the face of adversity, we hope Israel Inside can help counter false portrayals of Israel in the face of ongoing conflict."
"We have a lot to celebrate as a nation, and this film was made to change the focus people have about Israel," Ben-Shahar added.
A veritable who's-who of Jewish thought leadership joins Ben-Shahar on screen to muse about what makes the Jewish State unique. Israeli President Shimon Peres, Co-founder of Birthright Michael Steinhardt, leading historian Sir Martin Gilbert, Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz, Great Britain's Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, and venture capitalists Jonathan Medved and Erel Margalit all make appearances in the documentary.
Ben-Shahar identifies six so-caled actualizers that he credits with setting Israel apart: family, adversity to advantage, chutzpah, education, taking action, and tikkun olam.
"None of these actualizers are in and of themselves unique to Israel, but in combination, they are bringing about an almost unparalleled progress, success and contribution to the world," Ben-Shahar says in the film. "These actualizers have not only made Israel what it is, they also have the potential to help us all enjoy happier, more successful, more productive lives. Through them we can contribute. We can make the world a better place."
As evidence, "Israel Inside" points to Israeli inventions like the ReWalk, which enables the paralyzed to walk again, and companies like Better Place and Save a Child's Heart. The film adds that Israel was among the first to send teams to Haiti and Japan, and continued to send aid even after danger to the workers became apparent.
"Israel Inside is an inspiring film that portrays the often hidden faces of Israel to the world," said producer Rabbi Raphael Shore. "The film explores the essence of what makes Israelis thrive, and we look forward to bringing this message to communities across North America and around the world."
The slickly produced film aims to change the dialogue surrounding the Jewish State. An abridged version of "Israel Inside" can be viewed for free courtesy of El Al Airlines for a limited time.
.ORG-Connection: JerusalemOnineU.com's vision is to transform Jewish and Israel education for the 21st century and to inspire, unify, and activate Jewish people of all ages as passionate supporters of Israel and the Jewish people.

The Life and Death of Austin Peralta
At 10, Peralta heard a riff on jazz pianist Bill Evans' Turn Out the Stars that changed his life. As was his way, he threw himself into all jazz, all the time. Saxophonist Kamasi Washington, a bandleader in the vibrant, emerging L.A. jazz scene, recalls first encountering Peralta around this time. Washington was 20 and, like Peralta, studying under one of the great elder statesmen of local jazz, Gerald Wilson. Peralta was a floppy-haired, reed-thin slip of a boy, but when his long, slender fingers touched the piano, he was all business. "He had a different intensity," Washington says.
Two years later, Washington sat in on a gig that also included Peralta. "I almost didn't take it seriously," he says. "He was 12 and I was like 22 or 23. I came down there and heard him play. 'Wow, man, you sound good!' I didn't expect that. Wow. Amazing. The vocabulary, the facility. ... He was writing his own tunes and had a couple he wanted to play -- really, really hard tunes."
Peralta grew up skateboarding, but when his father saw his talent for piano, he urged his son to focus on it.
"Actually, I messed up my wrist one time trying to skate a pool and he was, like, 'You shouldn't do this. Play the piano,' " Peralta told URB. (His dad, Stacy Peralta, the skateboarding icon and filmmaker who made Dogtown and Z-Boys, declined comment for this story.)
Kezban Özcan, a friend who was introduced to Peralta when he was 15, recalls a conversation she had with his mother, filmmaker Joni Caldwell. "[I said,] 'What do you do with a child like this, so gentle and so sweet?" Özcan says. "And she said, 'You know, it's not just about playing. When he walks across the room my heart sinks, and I'm filled with beautiful feelings.' "
Word began spreading among L.A. jazz heads about this little skater kid who could play like McCoy Tyner, considered one of the most powerful and challenging pianists of the 20th century. In 2006, Peralta was invited to perform at the prestigious Tokyo Jazz Festival alongside legends Hank Jones and Chick Corea.
In videos from the festival, Peralta looks undaunted. He opened with one of Tyner's most difficult pieces, "Passion Dance," and played it with verve, ease and evident joy. He was a sensation. Backstage footage shows him receiving a slap on the back from legendary bassist Marcus Miller, who at one point turns to the camera and says, "This dude is so old. See, he looks like he's young, but he's really 45 years old. He bought this cream, right, that you put on your face. ... "
Around age 17, Peralta began a deep study of John Coltrane, perhaps the most revered figure in jazz history. As Washington notes, musicians can spend months understanding a single Coltrane solo. It was around this time that Peralta met Flying Lotus after one of his shows.
"He came up to me, 'Yo, man. Coltrane, man. Fucking Coltrane, man,' " says Flying Lotus, who is the grand-nephew of pianist Alice Coltrane, who was married to John Coltrane. "I said, 'Yeah, that guy was sick.' I just kept walking. I didn't know who Austin was. No, 'Hi, I'm Austin, nice to meet you.' No nothing."
Peralta graduated in 2009 from the famously progressive Crossroads School in Santa Monica (home to many celebrity offspring) and moved to New York to attend the New School. Homesick for the beaches and mellower confines of Southern California, he returned after only a year.
Peralta began to find his own sound. He collaborated with his close friend David Wexler, aka Strangeloop, a new-media artist who provides stage visuals for Flying Lotus. Peralta encouraged Strangeloop to begin composing music, and together they challenged barriers between jazz and L.A.'s emerging beat scene, which is influenced by hip-hop. "We had ideas about ignoring convention and genre, having ambient landscapes of acoustic and electronic sounds, then classical pieces, all of it in the same set ... just wandering through musical history," Strangeloop says.
"[Strangeloop] was, like, 'You gotta meet this guy, you gotta meet this guy,' like, all right, fuck, jeez," Flying Lotus says. "They both came by my house and Austin played my piano and I was like, 'Oh shit." Flying Lotus signed Peralta on the spot. The latter had already recorded an album on his own, and in 2011, Brainfeeder released Endless Planets.
"Jazz has been such a close-minded genre over the past 20 or 30 years," Flying Lotus says. "He saw Brainfeeder as 'Fuck all that shit. ... ' It inspired him, and he inspired us, because he was doing things we couldn't."

And then what really irked me - He jumped AND did the sporting (gaming events) in the double! The horse just about had a fit in one race - His way to deal wth it was to haul on the already over-used curb rein while booting it with his spurs - The horse was making noises of distress and rolling his eyes around/trembling. After a similar situation in another race the horses nose started bleeding. Aargh! And a parent who was timing even told him it was well ridden!
It is so frustrating.

Do you have either measured or calculated ISO14443 A/B air interface timing like you have done for the ISO15693? I am currently using the trf7960 eval board.
I would like to know the fastest possible read time for example the ISO15693 Read Single Block total time = 4.56mSec taken from your 7658.ISO_15693_timing_JDW_05_27_2011.pdf
Vlad -
sorry - the ISO15693 command of Read Single Block is not available with any ISO144443A or B device. Instead, they would be using an ISO7816-4 command like 'Read Binary', after being activated and selected with the ISO14443-3 commands.
So - the request is a little bit complicated - but just for ballpark idea, the ISO14443 devices in general are going to be at a minimum about 5 times faster than the ISO15693 devices. But, the lower level activation and selection would all happen at 106kbps most likely, as TypeA only allows a baud rate change in the ISO14443-4 layer (for Type A is is done with the PPS Request/PPS Response sequence, for Type B, this would happen in Layer 3 with the ATTRIB command.
anyway - what could be estimated here is the amount of data you want to retireve with the baud rates available/possible with card you are wanting to use. (106, 212, 424, 848kbps)
then you could add on the other protocol overhead bytes required for the activaiton and selection and come close to how long it would take.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please click the Verify Answer button on this post if it answers your question.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to add to this, please see attached spreadsheet which i started here for you to use - this should help you out and if you are using the ISO standards along with it, then it should be easier to figure out how long your processes will take. Let me know if you get stuck, etc. I did not have a ton of time to do this, but next i would be adding the layer 4 times.Note all three sheets in here.
Hello Josh,
Let's say we only need to read 4 different tags and we know the ID of each tag (either programing a value or reading the ID). Anti-collision will never happen since we can make sure the sensor will never read more than 1 card/tag at the same time. Preferable choosing the fastest data rate can be beneficial (848kbps). I can control the distance between the tag and sensor (within 4 inches). Pretty much a controlled environment. Choosing an ISO14443 command with the least amount of header bits and data bits to identify that particular card out of the 4. I'm not sure which command would be the fastest in 14443 A or B? With all this can we still be faster than ISO15693?
I saw your spreadsheet and to me looks like the fastest speed at 106Kpbs (14443B) is 5mS+ 2.93mS = 7.93mS. This seems way slower than the ISO15693 at 4.56mS.
Can you tell me with the 14443 optimum setup at 848kbps can we get that 5 times faster than 15693 including header bits? I am not familiar with the ISO14443 protocol at this point.
Can we write to memory blocks like we can using the 15693 tags?

Babbling Brook Quilt Shop - Sew very special
QUILT SHOP – Sharon Glover, owner of Babbling Brook Quilt Shop loves to quilt and help others as well. She recently opened up the quilt shop on the Marshall Pond Road in Hebron.
HEBRON – They say that behind every quilter, there is a huge pile of fabric. For proof, just take a short ride to the Babbling Brook Quilt Shop on the Marshall Pond Road in Hebron.
The quaint quilt shop is owned by Sharon Glover, who has sewn since the age of 13.
"I started sewing in school," she said. "From then on I caught the sewing bug and made most of my school clothes. In high school I took home economics, my favorite subject. I made two dresses for a fashion show, one of them being my wedding gown."
Years later, the seamstress learned to quilt.
"I took quilting lessons and have quilted ever since," said Glover. "I am still learning! And I liked quilting so much that I thought that having a shop would be something I would like to do. My husband, Frank is very supportive and gave up his garage so that I could open the shop."
Babbling Brook Quilt Shop offers quality fabrics at competitive prices along with a soon-to-be full-line of Creative Grids Rulers.
"We definitely stock some great quality fabrics," said the owner. "Our goal is to offer fabric that serious sewers and quilters can appreciate. Many of us spend time just touching and feeling fabric, silly as it may sound, but quilters understand the need to work with something long lasting with a great feel."
Some of the fabrics Glover carries are Batiks, Benartex, Red Rooster, Maywood Studio, Henry Glass, Moda and others.
Babbling Brook also stocks notions ranging from the basic sewing necessities to rotary blades, grommets, quilting stencils, purse clasps on up to the bigger items such as Best Press, Velcro and Grommets. And the list is growing weekly.
"We also stock the full line of Mettler Threads and slowly working on bringing in the Bottom Line and King Tut as well," she said. "We also offer other popular items such OESD Stabilizers and 505 spray for some of our local embroiderers."
"We carry 108-inch backing and Warm and Natural batting," she added. "Pre-cuts and kits are also available."
New classes are offered every month on purses, totes, table runners, wall hangings and the occasional large quilt.
"Our classes range from beginner quilting to advanced. We offer classes on different techniques such as machine appliqué, free motion quilting and paper piecing."
During the summer months Babbling Brook will offer mini quilt retreats and kids sewing/quilting classes.
"I think it would be great to get kids involved in making homemade gifts and garments. Help get their creativity going."
The quilt shop will offer sales throughout the year and offers a 10 percent discount on items purchased during class time.
"We can definitely let our customers know of upcoming sales, classes and new arrivals in our monthly newsletter we send out via e-mail or regular mail. If anyone is interested they can contact the shop and have their name added to the list."
Amanda Trundy, Glover's employee also offers longarm quilting.
"She does a beautiful job!" said the owner. "Most items are done free hand."
According to Glover, cabin fever season is a great time to quilt because a stitch a day helps keep the blues away.
Glover feeds her soul with every stitch she sews.
"When I'm quilting I find that it is very relaxing," smiled the quilter. "And 'sew' rewarding to see the finished product."
Babbling Brook is open Wednesday through Sunday; 10 to 5 and is located at 92 Marshall Pond Road.
For more information check out their website www.babblingbrookquiltshop.com or call, 966-2673.

Also then applying the intelligence to practical everyday applications to improve effciency without any external human input can cause some people to be scared of such a concept????. What do you think? Do you think we will ban such a undertaking or will it face major conterversy and continue on it's path???:confused:

Helped with the strong R&D team, SPARKLE also extends the service life of the cooling fins by doing treatment on the fins' surface to prevent the oxidation.
knowing how much these cards suck, at least i can say this: its nice and small arrrgggh, my f*cking BRAIN HURTS
Um why are they still releasing variants of the 2xx series? Anyone with half a brain is going with an ATI card right now......
not really nvidia's fault that they're putting these out, its not like the company can really do anything else. Once you have a plan and you set it in motion, its going to cost shitloads more to stop it than let it continue because R&D is expensive. In the end this is just really all for revenue raising, though not many will buy it, some will, providing nvidia and their AIBs with a tiny trickle of revenue. I would have very much preferred nvidia to rebadge the 9800GT to a GTS240, because its by far the most used card (if counting other G92 variants). This card reminds me of AMD's HD2600 series... new tech, fabrication process, but inferior to the previous generation in the same price bracket.
GT250 = fully enabled G92, aka 9800GTX, or 8800GTS 512MB. would have made more sense if the 9800GT was rebadged as a GT240, rather than grabbing an already crippled G94 core and crippling it even more with DX10.1 on top, not really helping. Dx10.1 doesnt even benefit nvidia that much, but when they conceived the plan for this GT240 i'm assuming they would have had the design at a higher clockspeed and perf levels in mind, probably exceeding that of a 9800GT, but due to the poor yields for nvidia everything was dialed back. As i said you cant bail out because R&D costs mean that a company would spiral into a deficit without income and it takes years. Reminds me of Egyptian history. When it doesnt rain in the nile, empires fall.
Sparkle's bad English is something most of us have come to accept and even enjoy. "nvidias bad naming" is another story...
You said it, buddy. This is ridiculous. I applauded Nvidia when they made the move to their new naming convention, but I wish they would've started it with new cards, and not just rebranded old ones, because I've been completely and utterly lost with their stuff for months now. It didn't help that most of the stuff they rebranded were themselves further rebrands of old 8000 series cards. And how long before they rebrand this thing the GT 340? No, I'm not joking, they're about to do that, and I was honestly wanting to know.
GTS250 is actually a rebranded semi upgraded g92b which is the 55nm variant aka 9800GTX+. That being said, the point remains the naming scheme is ridiculous.
Have you seen some of the writing around here? Lots of people probably understand Sparkle's writing better than ours.
this trend of rebranding is set to continue considering how much they've been fucked over by poor 40nm yields. Well at least the nvidia tegra is making them money... the PSP will be in its death throes as soon as nvidia comes up with a handheld tegra based console.
At this pace, they ll run out of numbers (with their dx10.1 crap)! With the real dx11 GT 360 and 380 being so late, maybe by then, they'll be codenamed gt 4** or 5**!
That's right, asswipes. I have the GT 240. The GT 240. What ya gunna do now? GT 240 doesn't have crap on Jesus. I was bored.
yeah NVDIA, already rebrand GT210 to GT310, and only god know how many times NVDIA will rebrand their card
I am trying to buy one, but best buy doesn't have any on sale right now in the store. I haven't seen any of these in retail stores anyways. Online yes, but online. As for the comment about having a half brain and buying a ATI card, um the only ATI card i am looking forward to buying is a 5670 when it shows up for my secondary rig, and i am giving away my Sapphire 4670 to a friend, and buying in replace a HIS ICE Q 4670. But the last card i bought was my 9800GT EE, and next i am buying a GT240.
Well i am finally picking up my dual core next weekend to replace my single core machine, and as i said before i want 2-3 cards per computer. For the Dual core, i am keeping my 9800GT(Which is really really powerful i notice ) and buying a HIS ICE Q4670(to replace the Sapphire 4670). For my Secondary rig , which i plan to use Win 7 x64( 8GB of ram ) , i am going to buy a 5670 and a GT240. Why buy a card that is weaker then something else? Doesn't matter, each card is different and besides i like to buy video cards. Hell i was about to buy a GT210 and a GTS250 last night haha, but had to control myself haha.

A Comment about Oscillating Sprinkler Adjustment Dials from Ray Padula - During a consumer research initiative, I personally spoke with someone regarding competitive oscillating sprinklers. My question was simple, "Name one problem with this product." (on the table was a oscillating sprinkler he owned). "Well, first, it only waters to the right side of the sprinkler." Pointing to the adjustment dial, I kindly responded "Well, all you have to do is turn that dial to change that." Looking at me funny, he responded "Yeah, I know - except it won't turn anymore - maybe you can fix it?" It wouldn't budge. "How long have you had this sprinkler?" I asked. "About three months. - Ray Padula, CEO.
The 32-Position pattern adjustment dials (or Slide Adjust™ adjustment collars on our turbine oscillating sprinklers) featured on all of our oscillating sprinklers are designed of the highest quality, treated (UV repellent) plastics allowing you to smoothly change the adjustment settings of your sprinkler with ease. Unlike the competition's designs that are constructed of thin plastics, leading to fades and wear in the sun, (ultimately causing difficulty in adjusting the watering pattern), Ray Padula adjustment dials will work perfectly every time you turn them!

Oh, Judah MaccabeeI'll be working to expunge this song from the collective memory of my people. Just as soon as I finish my biography of the aforementioned Mr. Maccabee.
How was I to see what you would mean to me?
No Syrian decree! Roman Calvary/German infantry
Could make you bend your knee
Not Judah Maccabee.

That would be illegal. And the legal costs would be astronomical to the taxpayers even if you went forward with such a plan
Illegal? Business contracts , mortgages ,private pension plans destroyed by bankrupt companies ; everyday, people are left with far less than they were promised in the private sector. People who get paid with tax dollars should be no less vulnerable to the market forces. Legal contracts get broken all the time simply because , well.. there is no money to honor them. Get Real.

Obama endorses military commissions for Guantánamo detainees
Obama endorses military commissions for Guantánamo detainees

In signing the National Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday, President Obama has personally endorsed yet another attempt by the US government to conduct military-commission trials of terror suspects currently held at the Guantánamo detention camp.
Similar efforts have stalled with legal challenges and Supreme Court decisions. But supporters say that the Military Commissions Act of 2009 balances the demands of fairness and due process against a real-world need for flexibility when seeking to prosecute accused Al Qaeda leaders and supporters.
Critics say that the 2009 act is an improvement over prior versions of military-commission regimes passed during the Bush administration. But they say it is still substandard, offering a second-class system of justice designed to obtain quick convictions.

Woman-led National Tequila Party Endorses Sen. Aguirre for Congress
Monday, July 30th, 2012National Tequila Party Endorses Sen. Aguirre for Congress
Phoenix, AZ—The female-led, non-partisan Tequila Party is endorsing Senator Amanda Aguirre (D-AZ) in District 3's contested primary race against incumbent Raul Grijalva. The National Tequila Party Movement is now rallying the Latino community to get out and vote for Sen. Aguirre on August 28th.
Brandon L. Maxwell commented, "As the fastest growing demographic in this country, we believe it is imperative that Latinos understand the power they wield at the ballot box. Together we can make a difference!"
Foundress and Co-President, DeeDee Garcia Blase is encouraging all Independents and women voters to consider Amanda Aguirre according to a recent article in the Tucson Citizen (July 28, 2012):
"I discovered what an amazing woman she is being the Arizona Senator who was instrumental in helping women with breast cancer get screening since 1994. She also began a café to help domestic violence women victims empower themselves with job skills in an effort to get off welfare programs… Every Arizona independent registered voter—(particularly women) ought to look at [Aguirre's] biography."
If Aguirre wins, she would be the first Latina Congresswoman elected from Arizona, a state where more women than men vote. Isn't it about time we have a Representative in Congress that actually represents us?

Dear Men's Rights Activists,
This is the funniest thing I have ever read on Twitter. To be honest I couldn't say which is funnier: you, or the people taking the piss out of you.
It's adorable that you think you're oppressed, it really is. Women and non-Caucasian people and queer people spent most of human history being denied the right to vote, the right to own property, the right to get married, the right to control their own bodies, the right to an education, and the right to freedom of expression, among other things.
