2009 Stage 1 Play by Play
17:14:39 History will be made on President's Day when Stage 2 departs Sausalito and rides across the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time. A pair of Herbalife Sprints and two California Travel & Tourism King of the Mountains climbs will test the riders over the 115.9 miles to Santa Cruz. Let's hope for better weather for the crown jewel stage of this year's Amgen Tour of California. Join us for coverage starting with our pre-show at 8 AM PT followed by the race live at 8:30 AM PT. Thanks for riding with us today. I'm Rick Scott sending you peace, love & cycling bliss from Santa Rosa.17:06:46 After the weather held for yesterday's Prologue, Stage 1 of the fourth Amgen Tour of California took place in nasty cold and rainy weather conditions. Shortly after the departure in Davis, Prologue winner Fabian Cancellara retired from the race suffering from a bout of fever. An early salvo fired by Spaniard Francisco Mancebo (Rock Racing) just 8 miles into the stage managed to survive through two Herbalife Sprints and three California Travel & Tourism King of the Mountains climbs. At times, Mancebo had a couple companions, but mostly he brazenly rode solo until he arrived on the finishing circuits in Santa Rosa where he was joined by Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas) and Jurgen Van De Walle (Quick Step) on the last of three circuits. On the final rise before the line, Mancebo pulled away to take the well-deserved stage win more than two minutes ahead of a chase group containing many of the GC favorites, including defending Amgen Tour of California champion Levi Leipheimer, who resides in Santa Rosa. Mancebo's prize also includes the yellow leader's jersey.
16:54:36 Mancebo does take yellow as the new leader of the Amgen Tour of California.
16:53:22 It continues to pour down on the streets of Santa Rosa.
16:52:40 The field rolls under the 1 km to go banner.
16:50:24 Here comes the chase, which crosses the finish almost 2 minutes back.
16:49:34 Well-deserved win for Rock Racing's Francisco Mancebo, who made the break at 8 miles into the stage and managed to collect the stage win nearly 100 miles later in Santa Rosa.
16:48:27 The leaders are moving up the finale. Mancebo attacks the final rise and takes the win!
16:47:25 3 riders heading towards the finish.
16:47:04 Quick Step's Jurgen Van Der Walle has joined Mancebo and Nibali.
16:46:23 The field is getting the bell lap. 1 lap to go for them.
16:45:15 Astana has shut down the chase while Mancebo and Nibali will end up settling the day.
16:42:58 Lance is at the front of the chase group with Astana, who are now 2 minutes back of the leaders. He's wearing a visor on his helmet today as some protection from the rain.
16:41:23 Nibali catches Mancebo.
16:40:54 It's a it difficult to tell who is where on the finishing circuits at the moment, but Mancebo is clearly in the lead alone. He's being chased by Vincenzo Nibali from Liquigas.
16:38:51 The chase seems to have shut down the manic pace, which will allow Mancebo to take the win and GC lead forcing his Rock Racing team to do the work during a very difficult Stage 2 tomorrow.
16:37:19 Francisco Mancebo is trying to get the leader's yellow jersey by holding off the chase group on his last lap of the finishing circuit.
16:35:36 The main field has 2 laps to go, but Mancebo has incredibly added to his lead over the chase group.
16:33:56 Mancebo's gap is just over 1 minute.
16:32:55 Mancebo pounds the pedals through the cold rain in an attempt to win the stage. One lap to go!
16:31:28 The chase group is down to 17 as the pressure from Astana has shed riders, including Landis.
16:30:36 2 laps to go for Mancebo attempting to bum rush the sprinters in Santa Rosa.
16:28:39 What a courageous ride today from Francisco Mancebo for Rock Racing who started the break early on and has been away all day - either alone or with a couple riders (Tim Johnson from OUCH and David Kemp from Fly V Australia).
16:26:57 Here comes the chase. Mancebo's lead is down to 1:10. The sprinters will have their day!
16:26:12 Mancebo enters the finishing circuits in Santa Rosa as he crossed the finish line for the first time. Three laps with less than 10 miles to go.
16:25:57 Mancebo enters the finishing circuits in Santa Rosa as he crossed the finish line for the first time. Three laps with less than 10 miles to go.
16:24:35 Mancebo's gap is still 3 minutes.
16:23:56 Just over 12 miles left. The day's final California Travel & Tourism KOM points went to Mancebo, Rubiera, Armstrong and Leipheimer.
16:21:23 Armstrong, Rubiera and Leipheimer are driving the chase with a little help from Team Columbia-Highroad.
16:19:31 The race has totally heated up. It's going to be a thrilling ride to the finish. Don't go anywhere! Can Mancebo hang on?
16:17:51 Mancebo is being chased by the Astana-led chase group.
16:15:59 Mancebo has a 3-minute lead. If he can pull this off, he'll take the yellow leader's jersey. But the elite chasers containing a host of GC favorites are riding single file in rapid pursuit.
16:12:57 Mancebo is standing out of the saddle trying to get everything out of his legs. Less than 25 km to the finish for the Spanish rider.
16:10:44 Past the 90-mile mark with less than 17 miles to go. Fans have braved the cold and rain as they are lining the course standing with umbrellas and raincoats and they are amassed here at the finish in downtown Santa Rosa.
16:08:29 Mancebo's advantage is down to just over 4 minutes on the chase. He's carefully picking his way round the treacherous wet corners.
16:05:38 Mancebo audaciously soldiers on alone well ahead of the elite 23-man chase followed by the peloton. He's conquering the two unrated climbs and will then drop into Santa Rosa for the 3.1-mile finishing circuit. Rick Scott banging out the words for you. Thanks for being with us today.
16:00:13 Over 83 miles ridden of the 107.6 miles of Stage 1 of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California. Thanks for joining us today. Weather has played havoc on the technical side of our coverage and we apologize for the lack of race images and race radio. Wait here comes our first images of the day. Thanks for your patience!
15:57:04 Mancebo is about to summit the day's final California Travel & Tourism KOM. His reward will be a pair of smaller unrated climbs to conquer before descending into Santa Rosa.
15:54:43 Remember the crashfest at the end of the stage into Santa Rosa a couple years ago? Officials have already announced that the peloton will all receive the same time once they enter the finishing circuit today. Smart move with the amount of water on the road awaiting the riders in Santa Rosa.
15:52:17 It's Franciso Mancebo (Rock Racing) riding solo 5:40 ahead of a stellar 23-man chase followed by the peloton, down 6:20.
15:49:53 Mancebo is powering up the final KOM of the day. Behind, Johnson & Kemp have been absorbed by the 21-man chase group.
15:47:50 Mancebo's lead is up to 5:40 on Johnson and Kemp, 5:50 on the 21-man chase group and 6:20 on the field.
15:45:27 Mancebo is up 5:20 on Kemp and Johnson and 7 minutes on the field.
15:42:30 After the sprint, the final California Travel & Tourism KOM of the day comes at mile 83.2 with the category 4 climb of Petrified Forest Road (1090 feet).
15:40:36 Mancebo is about to pocket a 3-second time bonus as first across the Herbalife Sprint at Calistoga at mile 80. 2nd place will gain 2 seconds and 3rd place will gain one second.
15:37:16 Rock Racing's Mancebo leads by 4:05 ahead of Johnson (OUCH) and Kemp (Fly V Australia). Further back about 20 seconds ahead of the field are Leipheimer, Armstrong, Horner and José Luis Rubiera (Astana), Andy Schleck and Jens Voigt (Saxo Bank), Thomas Lövkvist and Michael Rogers (Team Columbia-Highroad), David Zabriskie (Garmin-Slipstream), Kevin Seeldraeyers and Walle Jurgen Van De (Quick Step), Robert Gesink and Bauke Mollema (Rabobank), Ivan Basso and Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas), Floyd Landis, Rory Sutherland and Pat McCarty (OUCH), and Oscar Sevilla (Rock Racing).
15:32:28 Astana has four men in the 20-man chase - Lance Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer, Jani Brajkovic and Chris Horner. Garmin-Slipstream and Saxo Bank are also represented.
15:29:16 It's 47 rainy degrees at the finish in Santa Rosa with winds hovering around 15 mph.
15:28:11 Kemp and Johnson have blown back over 4 minutes behind Mancebo. A 20-man chase group has departed the field in an effort to bring back Mancebo.

15:23:38 71 miles into the stage, Mancebo is soloing with Johnson and Kemp in pursuit. There's an Herbalife Sprint coming up in Calistoga at mile 80 and I'm certain the peloton will want to shut down the break that is threatening to steal the day from the sprinters. Mancebo's gap over the field is more than 10 minutes.
15:18:32 The decent off Howell Mountain Road contains a section locals affectionately refer to as "Devil's Elbow." Nice...
15:15:53 Popped my head out of the trailer and saw Bob Roll working the crowd assembled here at the finish in Santa Rosa. The rain has temporarily halted, but doubt it will be for long. Plus the roads here downtown where the riders will complete circuits are already slick and muddled with puddles.
15:12:21 Mancebo, a stellar climber, dropped Kemp and Johnson on the climb. They'll try to get him back on the descent although the fog enveloping the plunge won't make the task any easier...nor will the slippery roads.
15:09:43 The climb is a steep one and gets twisty near the summit. No doubt Levi Leipheimer (Astana) and Scott Nydam (BMC), both who reside in Santa Rosa, know Howell Montain Road well. With Cancellara out of the race, Leipheimer is the virtual race leader.
15:05:33 The gap is 10:40 for the break. Rick Scott here manning the keyboard for you at the 4th Amgen Tour of California during Stage 1 from Davis to Santa Rosa in cold and rainy conditions. 107.6 miles total and the riders have covered over 62 miles thus far today. Great to have you with us for the ride.
15:01:53 The leaders are less than 5 km from the summit of Howell Mountain Road. The peloton will have to get serious about the chase if they want to save the day for their sprinters because Mancebo, Johnson and Kemp are a strong trio, which is capable of stealing the day.
14:55:00 The break has begun the category 2 California Travel & Tourism KOM climb. In the field, the rough road has claimed quite a few victims of flat tires including recent victims Brad White (OUCH) and BMC's Jeff Louder.
14:50:46 The three-man break gave back one minute to the peloton, which is down 11 minutes nearing the start of the day's second KOM.
14:45:48 Technical difficulties today courtesy of good ol' Mother Nature. Please hang in there with us, kids.
14:42:53 Meanwhile back at the ranch, the peloton is meandering through the Lake Berressa area nearing the start of the category 2 KOM climb of Howell Mountain. Rock Racing's Francisco Mancebo, OUCH's Tim Johnson and Fly V Australia's David Kemp are riding about a dozen minutes ahead of the field.
14:38:15 Nearly everyone has been touched by cancer, myself included as both of my parents beat the disease.

14:36:50 Just over 50 miles remain of the 107.6 to pedal during Stage 1 of the Amgen Tour of California. Got a question or comment for audio commentators Frankie Andreu and Broadway JoE Silva? Hit 'em up at email@example.com.
14:33:44 Now comes word that Lance Armstrong has decked it. Thankfully he's back up and riding.
14:32:39 The yellow jersey, Fabian Cancellara, has abandoned! He dropped out in the feedzone complaining of a fever.
14:29:36 Stylin' Amgen Tour of California gear is a red hot commodity along the tour route, but you can get yours at www.amgentourofcaliforniastore.com. Today there is a special on hats. Enjoy a 25% discount by entering the code HATSOFF09 at checkout. Perfect hat weather here at the cold and rainy finish in Santa Rosa.
14:26:44 Lance Armstrong flatted and was paced back to the group after the change by his Astana teammates Chechu Rubiera and Gregory Rast.
14:22:34 Make that 50 miles of the 107.6 miles on tap for today. Three men - Mancebo, Kemp and Johnson - lead the field by 12 minutes. Johnson had to change bikes and his mates waited for him to complete the swap.
14:19:52 The race is about 48 km into the 173.1 km that Stage 1 will cover.
14:16:06 Never heard of women's winner Fahlin before? She's the 20-year-old Swedish champion. Yes, fellas, she's a looker. Blonde and beautiful...and obviously very talented to best the gifted international field assembled here today.
14:10:14 With the choppers grounded due to weather conditions, we're not getting images from the motos or receiving race radio. Flying in the dark, boys & girls...
14:05:08 Team Columbia-Highroad's Emilia Fahlin sprinted to victory in the second women's Amgen Tour of California criterium in Santa Rosa where it's a beautiful day for a bike race...um...not so much. I'm Rick Scott, your cruise director at the Amgen Tour of California. We're glad you're with us for Stage 1 from Davis to Santa Rosa (107.6 miles) despite the lack of images from the men's race due to uncooperative weather conditions. We're working on it and appreciate your patience.
13:54:14 Mancebo, Johnson and Kemp are up a healthy dozen minutes ahead of the peloton.
13:52:41 Two laps remain in the women's crit and attack after attack is being deployed in stormy conditions in Santa Rosa.
13:49:53 Team Columbia-Highroad is stacked at the front of the peloton, which is in a lazy Sunday mode on an ugly afternoon during Stage 1 of the 4th Amgen Tour of Califonia.
13:46:41 Less than 5 laps left in the women's criterium.
13:44:12 The huge gap for the three-man break was likely caused by the caution the field utilized on the treacherous descent along with the call of nature...
13:40:51 The break is up 9:10 on the slumbering field. The second KOM comes at mile 63.6, which is quite a long way off. Presently there is no sense of urgency from the field, which might want to narrow the advantage much closer to the category 2 climb on Howell Mountain (1796 feet).
13:34:35 Tim Johnson (OUCH) and David Kemp (Fly V Australia)have finally nailed back their prey, Francisco Mancebo (Rock Racing). The trio is about 6 minutes up on the peloton.
13:31:12 Mancebo has stretched his gap over Johnson and Kemp at the top of the KOM to 1:35, but now it's dropped back to 50 seconds with the field taking their good ol' time.
13:28:52 Hope you're enjoying the insightful audio commentary of Frankie Andreu and Boogiedown JoE Silva. We'd love to hear from you. Reach out at firstname.lastname@example.com. Tell them Rick Scott sent you. Act like ya' know...

13:25:09 Mancebo takes maximum KOM points and has extended his lead over chasers Kemp and Johnson. The descent is a bit narly when slick so they'll probably descend gingerly.

13:17:19 Johnson and Kemp are inching closer to Mancebo. They are 40 seconds behind the Spaniard.
13:15:49 Mancebo and his chaser are on the rise to the KOM climb while the peloton languishes 6 minutes in arrears.
13:13:15 If you're following along on the video side, that's the women's criterium you're seeing now in Santa Rosa. Lovely weather to race a bike, eh?
13:11:26 The field is in Napa County, normally quite a beautiful and idyllic setting, but not in this atrocious weather.
13:09:20 The climb is category 4 with an elevation gain of 1,025 feet. Nothing too difficult, but it will help keep the riders warm.
13:06:29 They will soon be approaching the first California Travel & Tourism King of the Mountains climb of the day, which comes at the 26.9-mile mark.
13:05:01 Rick Scott here banging out the play by play for you with live coverage of Stage 1 of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California. The riders are approximately 22 miles into the 107.6 miles they'll cover today from Davis to Santa Rosa.
13:02:41 The riders seem very unmotivated by the nasty weather conditions as Mancebo's lead has doubled to 6 minutes. Johnson and Kemp are still 50 seconds behind him.
12:58:59 Rock Racing's Mancebo is still a lone breakaway rider, who has a 3-minute advantage over the field. OUCH's Johnson and Fly V Australia's Kemp are chasing 50 seconds behind Mancebo.
12:54:51 Long way to go in Stage 1 and the conditions are downright miserable: cold and rainy. Meanwhile the women's race just started.
12:52:13 Mancebo collected maxiumum Herbalife Sprint points at the first sprint line in Winters. Johnson and Kemp took 2nd and 3rd.
12:50:02 Rain is coming down hard as the women are heading to the start line in Santa Rosa for the women's criterium.
12:48:06 Mancebo has amassed a 3-minute advantage while Johnson and Kemp are 50 seconds back followed by the field.
12:43:38 Mancebo still has a gap on the bunch. Pursuing are Tim Johnson (OUCH) and David Kemp of Fly V Australia. BMC's David Garcia attempted to join the chase, but was swiftly reabsorbed by the peloton.
12:37:07 The peloton is less than 5 km from today's first Herbalife Sprint.
12:36:01 Saxo Bank's Jason McCartney, Rock's Chris Baldwin and Colavita's Aaron Olsen are a few of the victims of early mechanicals.
12:32:15 We're barely underway and there have already been a ton of mechanicals.
12:31:04 The peloton reacts and a pair of riders are chasing Mancebo down.
12:29:40 The stage is past the neutral section and Rock's Francisco Mancebo has launched the first salvo.
12:22:16 Rick Scott coming to you from Santa Rosa where the 2nd Women's Amgen Tour of California criterium will take place using part of the finishing circuit the men will traverse. A stellar women's field is preparing to battle each other, the elements and a slick-cornered course.
12:18:30 For now the yellow jersey, Cancellara, is content to sit in the field. If you have questions for Frankie Andreu & Boogiedown JoE Silva, hit 'em up at firstname.lastname@example.com.
12:10:03 A few Astana musclemen have already launched a break, including Leipheimer, Armstrong and Brajkovic.
12:08:00 The nasty weather has grounded the choppers so we're not receiving images or race radio. Please bare with us as we do some sweet talking to Mother Nature.
12:01:12 Today's stage begins in Davis with a 3.1-mile neutral section.
11:59:04 Nearly everyone has been touched by cancer, myself included as both of my parents beat the disease. Amgen's Breakaway from Cancer initiative strives to empower patients and their caregivers with education, resources and hope.

11:46:14 In addition to the finish in Santa Rosa, there are two Herbalife Sprints and three California Travel & Tourism King of the Mountains climbs en route.
11:29:25 Saxo Bank's Fabian Cancellara has the honor of starting Stage 1 in Davis wearing the first yellow jersey of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California. Two-time defending champion Levi Leipheimer will ride to the finish in his hometown of Santa Rosa in 2nd place only 2 seconds back. The first stage will be a new challenging and scenic route that departs Davis, the city Bicycling Magazine named the "Best Cycling Town in the United States." Fast flat sections separated by three climbs will awaken the riders' legs. The first climb is the short, steep trek up to Monticello Dam. After passing Lake Berryessa, the course will rise again on Howell Mountain Road before the peloton plummets quickly into Napa Valley. The riders will summit one more climb followed by the precipitous descent of Calistoga Road. The stage culminates with laps of a circuit in downtown Santa Rosa where the crowds have been amongst the largest and most boisterous of the entire tour.
11:19:22 Good Sunday morning to you from Santa Rosa where we await the start of the first stage of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California, which starts in Davis 107.6 miles away from where I sit. I'm Rick Scott, your eyes and ears on the scene. Frankie Andreu and JoE Silva will be calling the action on the video side. Live coverage begins at 12 PM PT. Stick around.

Who is the toughest mudder of them all?
A local team of Matt Bakke, Scott Curtis, Chris Gould and Dustin Wilson is heading to Toronto this weekend to prove exactly how tough they are. Dubbed The Pain Train, the team is heading to Tough Mudder, an extreme obstacle course originally designed by the British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit and above all, camaraderie.
The team is perhaps the most important part of getting through the 10- to 12-mile course. It is said the 19-obstacle course can't be completed alone, in part because everyone needs a helping hand to pull them over a wall, and when your spirits dip because you're stuck in mud or ice-cold water, it takes a teammate to get you pumped back up again.
"There's no way you could do it by yourself because there's quarter pipes that you need somebody to boost you and another guy to give you a hand," said Wilson. "You kind of gotta go as a team."
"It's not about beating everyone else," said Gould. "They promote teamwork and helping everybody to get to the finish."
Curtis made it clear their team is there to have fun, not to get too stressed about the challenge.
"We aren't breaking any land speed records," he said.
"We're gonna stick together as a group and make sure we do all finish," added Wilson. "There's some (obstacles) where it says right on there that if you aren't comfortable … swimming up to 50 yards then just go to the next one."
He said there aren't 20-foot walls around an obstacle that force everyone to complete each one. If there is an obstacle you don't want to complete, it can simply be avoided.
"They said there's no cheating. If you can't do something, or don't want to, just go around it. You're doing it for yourself, not for anybody else," said Gould.
Wilson said this event will hopefully be a trial run to see how much they like it. He said there is an event next summer in Calgary, and if this first one goes well, they may plan on attending that one as well. Wilson is already optimistic about whether they will like it or not.
"I'd imagine that it's going to be something we enjoy," he said. "I heard about it from one of my buddies. He kind of showed me the video of it, and I think everyone, when they see that initial video, they kind of get pumped to do it. I got excited for it, and then I convinced another guy."
They were going to go as a team of six, but they've slipped back to four who will take on the course in a field near Barrie.
"It looks like a lot of fun, but then you think about it and wonder if you're actually going to make it," added Gould.
"It looks like a lot of running, but they said you don't have to be a marathon runner to do it," said Wilson. "There's a lot of stopping and bottlenecks at certain things where only a couple of people can get through it at a time."
"I'm looking forward to them bottlenecks," added Curtis.
The Tough Mudder challenge is just that: a challenge. It's not a race. The spirit of the event isn't to beat anybody. Because of the nature of the obstacles, the feeling of accomplishment comes from just crossing the finish line, no matter how long it takes.
"My main goal was I wanted it to be fun, not be dragging myself across this thing and wanting to quit," said Wilson. "As far as training, it's maybe given us some motivation to go to the gym and go for a run."
The final obstacle is ominously called electroshock therapy, and it's pretty self-explanatory. Open wires dangle above participants' heads waiting to give off 10,000 volts of electricity. It probably doesn't need to be said, but that's what The Pain Train team is looking forward to the least.
"Mentally, it's just about making yourself do it, because it's so easy to just say 'screw this'," added Gould. "You have to just push yourself."
"That one seems pretty intense to be running through that," added Wilson.
They've all watched clips of tough mudders running through that final obstacle and they said the shock does knock people to the ground.
If they go again, they'd like to get more people involved, adding to The Pain Train team.
"It's kind of like people get into it, and it's just something that they do every year. I kind of hope that's the way that we take it," said Wilson. "We'll probably make that decision after next weekend."
Gould said with a laugh that lots of people want to go next year. They may just be waiting for their friends' reassurances before they jump all the way in.
Tough Mudder also raises money for the Wounded Warrior Project, which supports soldiers who return from a tour of duty.

Pacemaker heater valve installation
A question re fitting a heater valve to the inside of the firewall - does this attached directly against the firewall or is it stepped out with a thick rubber gasket or such like? I have another plate that looks like it should fit over the pipes on the engine bay side of the firewall but the two could only be used if the valve was stepped back. The length of the screws attached to the valve also indicate this may be the case. If so, what was the packing was used to step it off the firewall.
Thanks for your help. -
There is a gasket between the plate and the firewall on the engine side. I used the plate as a guide and cut a gasket from a piece of 1/16" thick cork/rubber gasket material. May have similar gasket on passengers side, but not certain. KGap may have them but just as easy to make one.

HI Tim
I have taken a photo of the components I have. See the long screws and the front plate. Both line up with holes in the firewall. So that's why I thought that the valve unit was stepped back off the firewall - there as approx an inch between. Make sense or am I barking up the wrong tree.IMG_2751.JPG1024 x 768 - 100K -
The original Hudson firewall heat/noise insulation pad is about an inch thick and the heater valve mounts on the passenger side of it and protrudes thru the firewall. If your original pad has been replaced by some newer space-age material that is considerable thinner then I suggest making up a spacer.

You should also consider having your Ranco Valve reconditioned. I found a guy online, who happened to be about 15 miles from, me who rebuilds Ranco Valves. I took mine to him, it is not cheap, but the things are 60 years old and it will prevent having wet feet anytime soon. I will dig out his information and post it here.
The capillary tube is just supposed to be back in the general area where the heater is. It apparently keeps track of the temperature somehow. Sort of a mystery. The Ranco Valve guy is: Jim Tucker, (760) 749-3488. 29597 Paso Robles Rd., Valley Center, CA 92082. He is online but he prefers the telephone.
Thanks again guys. Glad I was on the right track and appreciate the input. I have an ideal packing rubber I can use so can progress on.
Hudzilla, thanks for the tip. I have all the Ranco Valves that I will need for now, but I am sure that others will find this helpful. I enjoyed meeting up with Jim Tucker, he is a native Escondidian (the town where I live) and he lives on a patch of land deep in the back country which is home to some very interesting old iron and he has a collection of British motorcycles. He is a real interesting guy and he does do good work.

text: By: jamie November 29, 2006 It is good to see a politician with such honesty: President Bush has pledged to work with the new Democratic majorities in Congress, but he has already gotten off on the wrong foot with Jim Webb, whose surprise victory over Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) tipped the Senate to the Democrats. Webb, a decorated former Marine officer, hammered Allen and Bush over the unpopular war in Iraq while wearing his son's old combat boots on the campaign trail. It seems the president may have some lingering resentment. At a private reception held at the White House with newly elected lawmakers shortly after the election, Bush asked Webb how his son, a Marine lance corporal serving in Iraq, was doing. Webb responded that he really wanted to see his son brought back home, said a person who heard about the exchange from Webb. "I didn't ask you that, I asked how he's doing," Bush retorted, according to the source. Webb confessed that he was so angered by this that he was tempted to slug the commander-in-chief, reported the source, but of course didn't. It's safe to say, however, that Bush and Webb won't be taking any overseas trips together anytime soon. (emphasis mine) I am glad Webb didn't slug Bush, but it is good to finally see someone stand up in this way to Bush. Republicans had no problem taking shots at Clinton, one right after the other, but when it comes to Bush, we are supposed to treat him like some delicate little flower? Fuck that. Bush decided he wanted to play big boy and become a President. He decided he wanted the super-sized game of being a war time President. Now he needs to man-up and start facing the criticism he so deserves. Jim Webb has a son serving this country and has a right to ask questions. Bush has daughters who should be serving in Iraq, but instead are out partying and embarrassing us in other countries. jamie's blog

Following my post on the Special Case pattern, I just wanted to give a few more examples in which the pattern proves to be really helpful. In the previous post, we talked about using the Special Case pattern when returning collections, but you can use it in other places as well.
Suppose we have a cached collection of User objects, and we want to fetch a specific User and save it to the database.
User user = cache.Get("John");
if (user != null)
If we subclass User with a class called MissingUser, and have our cache object return it when it can't find a user, we can reduce our calling code to:
User user = cache.Get("John");
MissingUser.Save() overrides User.Save() and does nothing.
Side note: we could definitely go with checking cache.Contains("John"), and acting on the result, but I think this is too much detail for this level of abstraction, and may be violating Tell, Don't Ask.
Suppose we want to display a User's profile. Our User class has a string called Name and a bitmap called Picture.
User user = profiles.Get("Mark");
if (user != null)
this.Name = user.Name; // Binding is for the weak.
this.Picture = user.Picture;
When a User is not found in the profiles repository, we could make it return an instance of the regular User class, where User.Name = "Not Found", and Picture is something like
This way, we can just write:
User user = profiles.Get("Mark");
this.Name = user.Name;
this.Picture = user.Picture;
and a profile will always be displayed.
Conditioning on Instantiation
What if we wanted to check if a User exists in a managers repository, and only if it is not found, fetch it from a clerks repository? One might be tempted to write something like:
User user = managers.Get("Ahmed");
if (user != null)
// Ahmed is a manager.
// Ahmed must be a clerk.
user = clerks.Get("Ahmed");
In the previous examples, we avoided the conditional (null check) by using Special Case. If you look at the requirement for this example, you'll see that the conditional is built into it, and there is no way to get around it.
But if we use the same technique we used in the second example, we could create an instance of User, that has a boolean property called Exists, which will be populated according to the result. This way, we could express our condition much better:
User user = managers.Get("Ahmed");
if (user.Exists)
// Ahmed is a manager.
// Ahmed must be a clerk.
user = clerks.Get("Ahmed");
No code saved here, but our intention is much clearer this way.
What the hell is a "if (user != null)"? English, people.

Automate post-extraction clean-up of interfering substances from environmental samples, food products and animal tissue by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) prior to analysis by GC, GC/MS, HPLC or LC/MS. Failure to remove these interfering compounds can cause poor analytical results, shorten column life and increase analytical downtime.
The Automated GX-271 GPC Clean-up System provides an affordable solution for laboratories performing residue analysis of complex matrices such as fatty foods, soils, sludge, animal and plant tissue.
The system features a Direct Injection Module and a fraction collection valve located on the Z-arm, increasing efficiency by reducing sample carryover and post valve dead volume.
The Automated GPC system is controlled with TRILUTION® LC Software, a user-friendly, easy-to-use, flexible program that was specifically designed to meet the laboratory needs. The software features pre-programmed methods specific to GPC post-extraction clean-up processes.
Gilson GPC Clean-up Systems meet clean-up guidelines set forth by the USEPA, USFDA, USDA, USGS, ISO, CFIA, AOAC International and European Union (EN 1528, EN 12393, S19) requirements.

So what North Korean satellites had to be spinning out of control and space after -- launch this week condemned around the world.
As a test grade nuclear armed -- my next guest says that not only is that missile capable of getting closer to the US than ever before.
But some of the people of the launch were our top enemies.
Van hit former deputy assistant secretary of the army deputy General Counsel the navy and chairman of American defense international how Aureus or good morning.
You -- -- -- -- -- you know anything about the satellite tumbling out of control.
What would that mean.
I spoke a couple hours to go to European scientists who are actually -- the situation they say it's at least -- partially operational.
And it's still committing every strong radio signal and it just passed over Indonesia and what would that mean then if if you if you will if you lose control about satellite what there.
They could pick it could tumble down -- but here's the big story the fact that the north Koreans bill were able to yet.
This satellite into space in the fourth place they had the delivery.
All this rocket.
Which is basically the same as the same delivery system as -- Taepodong two missile -- that's important to this country is this.
That's the missile system.
But they've been tested for years and years and trying to extend its range so it could reach the continental United States this is pretty scary vein today.
-- -- Having an Intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach the United States because of this.
Just a far more series and they've done before him especially consider the sanctions on that country.
This this -- have been labeled a success whether -- for -- or.
You know the rest the world is against us we have seen a -- show you sir.
To our viewers at home here here's North Korea.
This missile shot off from the East Coast of North Korea.
You had a little bit land here what the Yellow Sea in a little bit more down here in the in the Philippines see here is what we believe advance it one.
On the up on the range potentially.
Here's North Korea than here is Japan this is the area where the -- the missile took its course.
Hawaii is about 6000 kilometers away here so you're about 3600 to 4000 miles away from the East Coast of North Korea Alaska's a little closer than that.
You have come up with some information sir that I think is more intriguing -- Then many people -- reported frankly.
You're saying the Iran -- were there on site when this rocket.
Was launched.
Is that consumer yes for the -- report from several news organizations -- now that.
At TomTom rate we're -- so what will the launch was you -- oh radiant technical experts who have been involved in the show halt missile program in the right.
And -- that's imported.
The show harm -- in Iraq right now is based on the Taepodong two missile technology.
Out of North Korea and build that should not -- prostate.
The federation of American -- -- have told us big news that a lot has been in they had with North Korea.
Sending cash and sending all in exchange for -- missile technology.
So there -- much closer to reaching the US after something.
Much closer to the yet you talk about some of the stuff falling they're close to the Philippines and so forth fair -- on -- three rocket.
Which was launched film although -- companies -- It's a multi state rocket -- what you're seeing or pieces of the first and second stage the third stage was able to get the satellite into orbit.
And that's what should concern America it should be a wake up call for this country and the free world -- and think this tidbit about the Iranians is no small tidbit that's a significant deal.
Then -- thank you for your.

The Court of Appeal has issued judgment in the case of Celestina Mba. Significantly, it gives legal recognition to the fact that Sunday is a day of worship and rest for many Christians and so is, in principle, worthy of protection.
The Court dismissed earlier rulings in the case that had claimed that Sunday 'is not a core component of the Christian faith'. However ...

The five sexiest films in Bollywood
Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978)
It was one of the only mainstream movies at the time that dealt with the subject of desire. It had both, sex and skin. The dichotomy of a woman who is perfect from one half of her face and burnt from the other added to the point that desire was all about how you packaged it and a sense of mystery.

What He Must Be: If He Wants to Marry My DaughterAll parents want their daughters to marry godly young men. But which qualities, specifically, should they be looking for? What will you say when that certain young man sits down in your living room, sweaty-palmed and tongue-tied, and asks your permission to marry your daughter? What criteria should he meet before the two of them join together for life? What He Must BeÉ If He Wants to Marry My Daughter outlines ten qualities parents should look for in a son-in-law, including trustworthiness, a willingness to lead his family, an understanding of his wife's role, and various spiritual leadership qualities. Author Voddie Baucham follows up on his popular book Family Driven Faith with this compelling apologetic of biblical manhood. By studying the principles outlined in his book, parents who want their daughter to marry a godly manŃas well as those who want their sons to become godly menŃwill be well equipped to help their children look for and develop these God-honoring qualities. |

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
Hey All,
I've read reviews and watched some youtube videos and I've heard only good things about Dead Space. From the gameplay videos I've seen, I can see that it's gory as hell and I love gory games and I love survival horror games, which is more than enough to interest me in playing any game.
I got both dead space 1 and 2 off steam and figured before I play 2 I have to play Dead Space 1, right?
Right off the bat, controls are solid and the system for inventory and map is solved without a HUD is awesome. Adds to the tension, makes you plan your next move without knowing at all what's coming your way, which is a moot point because you just get loaded back to the previous save point with all your inventory if you die anyway.
The dismemberment is fun as hell. Changes the whole game, I love not just having to aim for the head like every other game I've ever played. The gore is one of my favourite elements of Dead Space.
The story is pretty decent too, it is fun to read audio and text blogs, and have the story unfold with catastrophe after catastrophe.
This is all good except for one thing. I found myself trudging through the game less than half way through just to reveal more story line, the story line was intriguing enough for me to go through the motions of killing the same enemies, seeing the same train station with very little variation in environment. I think a gameplay should keep me going, not the storyline. Does any one else agree with this? Did anyone else not enjoying playing the actual game?
I really like that gameplay is non stop as it unfolds more story, having videos play on your hologram thingy, but it's not enough, the gameplay is too repetitive between interesting gameplay sections (e.g:Zero gravity puzzles) The protagonist doesn't evolve with the story so there is nothing really driving the gameplay progression. I feel at this point (I believe I'm at 90% of the game now) I could just watch gameplay videos on youtube to understand the rest of the story and I would get the same satisfaction as playing it, which is what I plan to do.
What do ya'll think?
I wanted to play the first game due to the neat GameInformer article that came out back in 2007 but I never got the chance to play it the following year due to my mother's money restrictions at the time.
Sometime before the sequel came out, I didn't have that much of an interest in playing the second one until a friend of mine told me a lot about DS mythology and showed me funny reactions of people playing a demo of the second game. So, on a whim and a nifty trailer blaring a Smashing Pumpkins song I loved since I was kid, I decided to give the second one a go on some cash I got from my Grandmother and some funds from Mum.
Did not regret it for one second. It was such a damn good time.
With rumors of the third one taking place on a snow planet (I see what you did there, Visceral) and using the lovely Frostbite 2 engine, I'm very open to see where the franchise goes. I just hope they don't shoe-horn in some Co-Op bullshit into the story. I'd go up the fucking wall.
what kept you guys playing it through to the end(Assuming you did so)? Was it the story or the game play
I really like the Dead Space games. The second was more action oriented, but I never thought the first was scary so it was a good thing.
A Dead Space 3 announcement is probably the only thing that would make me go "woo-hoo!" come E3 (Besides DA3). I couldn't care about anything else except for some games to be shown (Tomb Raider, Overstrike).
what kept you guys playing it through to the end(Assuming you did so)? Was it the story or the game play
If I had a game in production and there was only enough resources/money to improve the game play or the story. I would improve the shit out of the gameplay. But in this case it would be fruitless, I believe that the gameplay feels like a trudge because of the voice/face less protagonist that has no personal story arc besides he's spouse that got lost or something(the protagonist doesnt care so why should I), so I don't care that I'm escaping this survival horror situation.
Love to hear what people think
I found the story interesting, especially towards the end when I had a large variety of guns to play with and the last few plot twists kept me intrigued. plus the fact that you know that there is a build up to interesting bosses. I don't see why you wouldn't finish the game when you have played through so much of it.
Also there is a final cut-scene that really shows you how the character Isaac is feeling through the whole ordeal. it's not much but it's more than what you'll get with a half life title.
Loved them Both. 2 was a lot better than one and I like that Issac got a voice in 2 it gave him a bit more of a character and also Curbstomps. Lots and Lots of Curb Stomps
I watched the gameplay videos, the curbstomps looks like fun, I love the idea of stomping items out of enemies, like a violent version of mario lol. And that satisfying stomp but does it get repetitive like the first one?

It will be busy IFA for Samsung. Barely 24 hours after announcing its new ChatON messaging client, the manufacturer is now gearing up to release a troika of new Bada 2.0-powered Wave handsets — the Wave 3, Wave M and Wave Y –
Set to make their debut this week in Berlin. Leading the pack is the Wave 3, which leaked earlier this week. Powered by a 1.4GHz processor, this little guy boasts a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED display, 3GB of memory (along with a 32GB microSD slot) and a five megapixel, auto-focus-enabled shooter.
The Wave M, meanwhile, packs slightly less juice, with a 832MHz processor, a 3.65-inch WVGA screen and 150MB of onboard storage (with a 2GB inbox and 32GB microSD slot). Rounding out the collection is the Wave Y, with its 3.2-inch HVGA display, 832MHz engine and two megapixel camera.
All three feature your usual smattering of WiFi / Bluetooth 3.0 capabilities and will ship with ChatON and Samsung's Social Hub baked into their DNA. No word yet on pricing or availability, but you can find out more in the full press release, after the break.

News: The Politics of IllusionThis highly-esteemed text follows the evolution of the news, both as a social and economic product, and as a key to understanding the American political process. Analyzing how the press, public, and politicians interact in a not always functional political system, the new Fourth Edition continues to offer the features that made the previous editions so successful: the best overview of research on media and politics available, in-depth "Case Studies" in every chapter, and unique views from the press. The Fourth Edition is also a sweeping revision and several broad new themes have been woven throughout the book to reflect important changes in recent years: 1. the decline of mass media and the fragmentation of the mass news audience; 2. the rise of strategic communication and new technologies of audience targeting; 3. the rise of news negativity; and 4. the news reform movement. These themes, along with relevant new examples to illustrate them, not only bring this new edition up-to-date, but reflect theoretical and empirical developments in the political communication field as well. |

B A+F Local Atmosphere: Local atmosphere is great. There is a mall which is quite big and popular about 10 minutes away. Located in a very well known area. Love it!

Written by Peter Goldschmidt
To the non-Dallasonian, this city may seem like nothing but tall cowboy boots and hats. But, if anything, Dallas breeds sophisticated cowboys. When I say cowboys, I am not referring to the ones that ride horses and chew on hay; I am alluding to the polite and sociable ones. By the time you are ready to graduate, you will have the best handle on the ins and outs of the city; however, at that point, it will be time for your departure. But for now, you have four years to explore. SMU is located in the midst of the Park Cities, which is comprised of University Park and Highland Park. Both areas are the wealthiest ones in Dallas. The best aspect of this area is its safety. The community is one similar to Pleasantville, where everyone knows everyone. And it is true, there is something here for everyone. The neatest thing about Dallas is that it features live music every night of the week, most of which will be found in Deep Ellum. The museums and Fair Park constantly feature new works of art.
There is always something to do, and everything is at your fingertips-if you have a car. The shopping and dining scenes in Dallas are among the most prestigious places in the nation (San Francisco, New York, Miami, Beverly Hills). Dallas is the home of several top sports teams. Not only do you have the best of what's around, but if you're low on cash, you can still find something amusing to do on any given day. White Rock Lake is a mere five minutes from campus if you're in the mood for a bike ride or a jog. Of course, everyone is aware of the crime rate here. Just as with any other urban city, the best thing to do is to use common sense. Do not embark on a journey into new territory unless it is with a friend. With all that said, I am still finding little treasures in the most remote parts of the city.

With a historic Victorian downtown and loads of southern charm, Fort Smith, Ark., is one of the Natural State's fastest-growing communities. Conveniently located on the Oklahoma-Arkansas border, there is a reason why so many citizens from both states are finding fantastic Fort Smith apartments for rent. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the community has seen a recent population increase to more than 87,000 residents, based on 2011 estimates.With a quarter of the population being younger than 18, this is obviously a popular community for parents looking to raise a family.
Fort Smith has a scrappy past, being the state's first frontier fort established in 1817 to promote peace between Native American tribes. The signs of Fort Smith's history are still prevalent in many parts of the city, notably the Fort Smith's A&M Scenic Railway. Today, the city has seen a large expansion of residential and commercial growth. Many residents are drawn to this city because of its breathtaking scenery near the Boston Mountains of western Arkansas. This city is also near Interstates 40 and 540, making it an ideal place for residents commuting to neighboring communities, or working within the city itself.
There are plenty of outdoor activities available for Fort Smith residents due to its location between two national forests, one being the Ozarks. With more than 1.2 million acres of beautiful trees and wildlife, there are generous opportunities for camping, hiking, swimming, fishing, hunting, boating or even picturesque drives.
The Fort Smith Historic Site is also an attraction in its own right, since the city preserved the final days of Judge Parker's jurisdictions over the Indian Territory in 1896. This chapter in United States history explores the pioneering life on the edge in the 19th century, the development of the Trail of Tears and the western expansion.

Happy birthday to Anita Baker who celebrates today (January 26). Anita was born in Toledo, Ohio and raised in Detroit, Michigan. The eight-time Grammy winner got her start in the band Chapter 8, which released their self-titled debut album in 1979. Her debut solo album, Songstress, was released in 1983 followed by her successful second project Rapture in 1986. Rapture is her most successful album to date, selling over eight million copies worldwide and garnering Baker two of her eight Grammy Awards. She hit number one on the Billboard 200 chart with her 1988 album Giving You The Best That I Got and received three more Grammy Awards for the effort. She followed that release with Compositions in 1990 and Rhythm Of Love in 1994, both of which received additional Grammy Awards. Baker has been working on a new studio album, but there is no confirmed release date at this time.

Yes, they are. These biased, low IQ types pretending to be intelligent make me laugh my ass off. Supposedly intelligent discussions with chimps, that's all this is. If they weren't so wrapped up in acting superior, they might be able to see the true nature of equality insists on absolute freedom of choice(s)...Even now, they argue that SSM is the only valid form of marriage that counts as discriminated against. Forget having them be fair and unbiased about incest.....Only need 2 partners for that....Fits their parameters...But they would call THAT creepy....<quoted text>
Yeah "they" sure are jackasses! You can't marry gerbils. They're for butts! But you should be allowed to marry who you want.
You aren't insisting on the traditional, arbitrary and discriminatory number of two while at the same time insisting gender is irrelevant. Are you?
