A question for all of you- what would you improve on your folding frame? And do you find fixed frames better and more stable for AP? About the arms - not too long and not too short as a first conclusion. Thank you all for joining the discussion. |

I might wait for a while and maybe George will make that board available till than. For the next few month I am busy working and have no time for this. Did George say when the new board will be avilable? This is my first AP machine so I am new to it but do you think FPV and OSD are a good adition to the platform? Thanks. |

The politics of capital gains taxes President Obama has been campaigning for.
The buffet rule suggesting that Republicans.
Don't care about fairness but the facts on who cut what taxes.
Over the years may actually contradicts some of his claims William my passion my -- from Los Angeles William.
We'll have -- there is a big debate on the wealth gap even among the growing list of millionaires.
-- Capitol Hill but Democrats did not make this an issue when John Kerry ran for president.
Nor did the Democrats passing Buffett rule.
When they control the house and the senate two years ago partially because even economists cannot agree on the optimal capital gains rate but today.
It makes for good politics.
We just made some of the Republican politicians here in Washington to get on more what -- the country.
-- -- President Obama blames Republicans for attacks -- calls unfair he doesn't mention the role played by Democrats in writing it.
In 1979 president Jimmy Carter and a democratic house and senate reduce the capital gains tax rate from forty to 28%.
Later Ronald Reagan reduced it further to 20%.
Before increasing it.
In 1997 Bill Clinton lowered the rate again to 21%.
Followed by President Bush in 2003.
To 16%.
Thanks to democratic support in the house and senate President Obama now proposes a return to 20% for some and 30% for millionaires.
While many millionaires do pay their fair share some take advantage of loopholes and shelters.
-- let them get away with paying no.
Income taxes whatsoever.
While true the number is tiny in the loop holes legal put there by congress where ironically almost 50%.
Are millionaires.
Seven of the top ten richest are Democrats including senators Dianne Feinstein Jay Rockefeller and John Kerry.
He paid a lower tax rate just 13%.
When he ran for president then Mitt Romney pays now.
George Bush paid 28% the Democrats didn't make an issue of tax fairness in that race.
There is always this sort of hypocrisy going on.
And it's really nothing new home but this is a hot issue today and this is what people are focusing on and the White House is gonna drive this.
Issue all the way until November.
So the president's message is that the wealthy of course pay a lower rate -- the middle class but the White House's own numbers released yesterday.
-- on average that is not accurate -- the middle of the middle class spate of 14% tax rate was a top 1% -- almost double.
Point 6% now it's very interesting how they can always been those numbers thank you very much William lodgenet -- LA.

You do know that the tax rates Uncle O wants will only pay for 8.5 days. That is it just 8.5 days. He also has not outlined any spending cuts, none. In fact he wants to spend more money than he has in the past along with blanket authority to raise the debt ceiling whenever he wants. Do you honestly think this is a good thing? Really?
She fooled you, she's not that smart, she just likes to use big words in an effort to impress and intimidate others.

text: If you've heard of Club Cheval by now, it's probably through their solo projects that have pulverized dancefloors from France and beyond. Whether it be the bombast of Myd and Sam Tiba, to the outlandish adventurousness of Panteros666, or the all-encompassing productions of Canblaster; the four men of Club Cheval are all in their own rights, in the right frame of mind to change the dance landscape once again. So naturally, when they got signed to Brodinski's Bromance imprint, the timing, the label and the vibe seemed right. It made perfect sense, considering you need a bromance to make music like this. With their first official Club Cheval track out now (split with a new Brodinski cut), they took the time to speak to URB about their roles, their history and what's next. Check out the interview with Club Cheval as well as their peculiar video for "Now U Realize" after the jump.

"I stopped at a market to get a fruit platter for a movie night with friends but I couldn't find one so I asked the produce guy," says the 40-year-old arts administrator from Seattle. "And he was like, 'If you want fruit platters, go to Safeway. We're organic.' I finally bought a small cake and some strawberries and then at the check stand, the guy was like 'You didn't bring your own bag? I need to charge you if you didn't bring your own bag.' It was like a 'Portlandia skit.' They were so snotty and arrogant."

Publisher's Description
As believers, our walk with God is motivated by hope-not the bland, vague notion most people have, but the expectation of an exotic, pleasurable inheritance that guides us and fires our passion...or, at least, should.
Ted Dekker has written an exposé on the death of pleasure within the Church. Because many of us have set aside hope and the inspired imagination that drives it, Dekker says we have been lulled into a slumber of boredom, even despondency. Our faith wanes, the joy at having been liberated fades, and we feel powerless. The Slumber of Christianity explores what robs us of happiness and how we can rediscover it and live lives that rekindle hope. The pursuit of pleasure is a gift to all humans-a function of the Creator himself, who is bent upon our happiness.
It's time for Christians to reclaim our inheritance of pleasure. The Slumber of Christianity will inflame hearts toward full-fledged, mind-expanding encounters with hope, through the imagination.

This is one of our first arrivals from the highly regarded 2010 vintage, and if the delectable style of this modestly priced petite château is any indication, wine lovers are going to be arguing for decades over which is the greater vintage, 2010 or 2009. Made from a blend of 50% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 18% Cabernet Franc, this fruit-forward wine, from the northern part of the Entre Deux Mers appellation, is made by Jean Lobre and his two sons, whose family has owned Bellevue Rougier for four generations. Absolutely ready to drink now, this easy-drinking Bordeaux offers oodles of soft, spicy fruit, lightly seasoned by notes of red berries, Provençal herbs, and cedar. Although it has sufficient stuffing to match with main courses of meat or poultry, this wine is also delicious by itself or with light cheeses.
Château Thieuley red and white have been one of the most popular wines in Calvert Woodley's extensive petit chateaux collection for almost 30 years. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of owner Francis Courselle, and more recently, his daughter Mary, Château Thieuley's crisp, refreshingly dry rosé has emerged as a charming companion to the stalwart Thieuley reds and whites. Although the rosé is made from 40% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Cabernet Franc, the key to its winning ways is unquestionably the Cabernet Franc. This grape's fresh, spicy, herbal signature is writ large in the aromatic bouquet and crisp, airy finish, where it joins a chorus of tart cherry, raspberry and strawberry notes provided by the Merlot and the Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine will work brilliantly with grilled salmon, rosy veal chops, vegetarian dishes, or all by itself as an aperitif.
Back when most Bordeaux estates were yanking out white grapes in favor of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Château Thieuley owner Francis Courselle bucked the trend by increasing his acreage of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. The freshness of the just released 2012 Thieuley Blanc makes it a perfect summer sipper, as well as a splendid match for fish, poultry, and light meats cooked on the outdoor grill. The crisp, lemony notes of Sauvignon Blanc play harmoniously with the ripe, juicy, fruit flavors of Sémillon. Gentle lees stirring provides a touch of summer spice on the finish.

Juneau, Alaska's third-largest city and seat of the state government, is defined by its rugged terrain and history. Nestled in Tongass National Forest, Juneau is a prime jumping-off point for outdoor adventures. kayaking, whale watching, and even glacier trekking are all accessible from Juneau. A novel mode of transportation for most visitors is the seaplane, which allows travelers to access the majority of Alaska's backcountry.
For those less enticed by the wiles of the wild, more sedate adventures are just as abundant. Pan for gold, visit the Alaska State Museum, or lean over a boat's railing to catch a glimpse of orcas, seals, and even humpback whales.

Remember Scene's cover story a little while back about the prospect of wind turbines in Lake Erie? There's the initial plan for five off the coast of Northeast Ohio and debate and hopes and fears about more coming after that, with plenty of folks wondering why Cleveland is pursuing wind farms when everyone else is setting aside the idea. we explained how they spin fast, look sleek and big, and cause heated debate among many groups who want to talk about more than the fact that they spin fast.
Well, those initial first five turbines were supposed to be installed and operational by next year. That's not the case anymore. WKYC reports:
Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation President Lorry Wagner says, "We definitely were a little over-ambitious. It's 2013. Our original goal was 2012."
There's still lots of work to do and lots of regulatory permits to obtain. Wagner says two or three are in hand with fifteen more needed.
The project need $100 million for turbines, plus more for a ship or ships to carry them.
Wagner is optimistic KeyBank can help find needed investors.
Maybe they can explain to investors that they spin fast?

As a result of this project, property owners throughout Hernando County will have up-to-date, reliable, Internet-accessible information about their flood risk — on a property-by-property basis. As a stakeholder in Hernando County's future, you should be aware of how the maps are changing and why — and how the changes will affect residents and business owners alike. For additional information on Flood Maps or if you have questions contact: John Burnett, Water Resource Coordinator |
FOR MORE INFORMATION Visit http://www.hernandocounty.us/FloodMap/ to view the new digital flood maps, see the areas that are changing flood zones and learn how Hernando will be affected. Visit www.FloodSmart.gov for more information about how to protect against flooding and the steps local residents may need to take to ensure that they have proper insurance coverage to protect their investment. |

This morning, I played the very beginning of Wagner's Die Walkure, followed by Mahler's Second. I recently attended a performance of Die Walkure. The moment the opera's exciting "Vorspiel" began, I asked myself why had I never noticed the similarity between this opening and the beginning of Mahler's second symphony.
You could spend a long time discussing how different these two beginnings are, but the similarity is very striking: tremolo in the violins while the cellos and basses hunt about dramatically. In the Wagner opera, the great hero. Siegmund, is running from vengeful pursuers, looking for a place of rest. In the Mahler, as Mahler himself said, the hero of his first symphony has died, and this movement is his funeral. This hero, or perhaps we listeners, are also engaged in a dramatic search, for the meaning of this hero's death. (If you're curious, remember, this symphony is called "the Resurrection".)

Firing Squad
I recently bought a new computer and in a fit on nostalgia, I decided to dust off my old copy of Galactic Civs 2 and install it. Installation went wonderfully and the game is working at version 1.0. I am, however, having a great deal of trouble getting the latest updates for it. I've emailed support 3 days ago and aside from the automated response, I haven't heard a thing from them. If anyone here can help me, that would be awesome. Thanks.
What is the ticket # you received?
If were talking just the base game, then updates would need to go through Impulse/Gamestop (http://www.impulsedriven.com/downloads/impulse_setup.exe). Have you ever registered your serial number with any kind of account, either through Impulse or Stardock?
I honestly can't remember if I ever registered it. I've had it so long that I can't even remember exactly when or where I got it. That's not as bad as it sounds though, I have a box of PC games that I've collected over the years. I counted them one time and there were over sixty, as I recall. It's just hard to keep up with where all of them came from, but I bought them all new, I know that. There's not really a market for used PC games, which is why I still have almost every PC game that I've ever bought.
And that link you provided is working nicely. Thank you very much. ---- Well nevermind. It's telling me that my product code is invalid. I've tripple checked and checked another half dozen times to make sure that I input it correctly. I don't know why it would be saying invalid, unless I did register it before. I honestly can't remember.
Most likely you registered it to an old email or something along those lines. Happens all the time. Give email@example.com a shout with your serial and any email addresses you may have used, and we'll sort it out.
I sent it in, but like I said in the ticket update, having to jump through a bunch of hoops just to get a game update is more than a little perturbing. I'm not asking for a free expansion or anything like that, just the latest update to the base game which I have owned for years. That said, I do appreciate the help that I am getting and I understand you guys are probably just following procedure but that doesn't make it any less perturbing.

More on Addison Bean
The "Our Back Pages" column in the Oct. 18 Bethel Citizen included the item – "100 years ago: Death Addison S. Bean." As this is the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War along with the recent Veterans' Day, it is appropriate to provide some background on Addison S. Bean.
He was born in Newry. His father was a widower with six small sons, so at the age of four Addison went to live with the family of Ashley Paine in Mason.
In the summer of 1861 the 65th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment (1st U.S. Chasseurs) was recruiting in New England and Addison enlisted. In August the Regiment left New York for the defense of Washington, D.C. While there, Addison and his regiment participated in reviews by President Lincoln. After leaving Washington the 65th New York Regiment was at almost every major battle fought by the Army of the Potomac. Addison was with the Regiment through the Peninsular Campaign, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and General Grant's Overland Campaign. He also had guard duty at the prisoner of war camp on Johnson's Island near Sandusky, Ohio.
Addison was mustered out of the 65th New York Regiment in September 1864 and he re-enlisted in the U.S. Veteran Volunteers where he served until February 1866. He then returned to Mason, bought a farm, and got married. His letters home to his adopted family are in the Bean Letters Collection at the Bethel Historical Society.

Sunday Times (London)
January 20, 2013
by Irwin Stelzer
Take heart. There is more going on than meets the naked ear. Yes, the mud-slinging contest that has replaced serious policy-making in Washington continues, with President Barack Obama the clear winner last week when he told a nationally televised press conference that House Republicans "have suspicions about whether government should make sure that kids in poverty are getting enough to eat..."
This assessment of the motives of those who want to cut spending came while the capital was preparing for tomorrow's second inauguration of Obama. No search for comity just yet.
The Republicans continue to say they will not raise the debt ceiling, or fund the government, unless the president agrees to cut spending as part of a programme to bring the $1trillion annual deficit under control. "It is possible that we would shut down the government to make sure President Obama understands that we're serious," said Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who chairs the House Republican conference.
So much for threats by Republicans and what Pulitzer-winning columnist Charles Krauthammer characterised as "essentially a libel" by Obama. This is what passes for negotiation in Washington. As for the likelihood of a plunge off yet another fiscal cliff, a more realistic appraisal is that this is unlikely.
The president has been saying that he is willing to consider some reductions in entitlements, perhaps by changing the social security (pension) cost-of-living escalator and introducing means-testing of healthcare and other benefits. And important Republicans, plus the party's business supporters, have launched an effort to persuade Tea Party members and other House Republicans that use of the nuclear weapon — shutting down the government, completely or in part — might do considerable harm to the party's ability to win congressional seats in 2014 and the White House in 2016.
House Republicans gathered at the end of the week in Williamsburg, Virginia — where Ronald Reagan played host to Margaret Thatcher at the G7 summit in 1983 — to plan tactics for the coming showdowns with Obama. The proverbial reliable source tells me that they know "they have to get through this patch" without the intra-party brawl that the president is attempting to provoke, and that "default is a bad fight to have".
The sequester battle, by contrast, is "a good fight to have". Discretionary spending, at $1.35trillion a year, constitutes about one-third of total spending. Unlike entitlements such as social security and Medicare, discretionary spending, which includes everything from the military to maintenance of the Capitol, must be funded every year by Congress, with presidential approval. If no deal is reached, the sequester takes effect, cutting about 8%-9%, or some $100bn, from discretionary spending.
"Museums might have to close one day each week, and government agencies get by on less than they are accustomed to, but that might not be a tragedy and is an opportunity to see if these agencies can indeed do with less," my source tells me Republicans are thinking. That would pain conservatives who feel the military is already devoid of "fat", but might be better for the nation than no spending cuts at all.
The combination of a sequester, the recent 2% increase in payroll taxes ($20 a week from the average pay cheque), the Obamacare tax and other taxes on the wealthy will take about 2% out of GDP. Since the economy was forecast to grow at that rate or less in the first quarter, we will see zero, or slightly negative, growth early in the year.
But things are looking up for the latter part of the year. The manufacturing sector has got over its temporary hiccup and last month grew more than analysts expected, with upward revisions of the October and November pictures being frosting on the cake. Motor vehicle and parts production rose, as did output of computers and electronics. The housing sector continued on the upswing. In December, construction of single-family and multiple-family homes rose in every region and permits for future building showed gains. For 2012 as a whole, construction permits were up 30% and housing starts up 28% over 2011. Home prices continue to rise: the latest S&P/Case-Shiller home price index shows a 4.3% jump in October. And the banks seem in better shape than in recent years.
The employment market also improved last year, with about 2m new jobs, and at long last there was a decline in the number of workers unemployed for longer than six months. There are indications that the trend continued into the new year: home builders, oil and gas companies and high-tech industries are among those reporting difficulties in finding skilled workers.
Consumers, so far, remain unperturbed by the spectacle put on by Washington's gladiators. Retail sales were up in December, bringing the increase for the year to a more than respectable 5.2%. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict whether consumers will continue to contribute to growth because of the cut in take-home pay caused by the payroll tax rise and higher taxes on families earning more than $450,000.
That might be part of the reason that official forecasters are being cautious or, as some prefer, impervious to signs of strength in the economy, including all the above, plus a resurgent energy sector and increased global competitiveness. The World Bank, as if setting out to prove that economists use decimal places to show they have a sense of humour, has raised its forecast for world growth in 2013 from 2.3% to 2.4% — it guessed 3% in June. It expects the US economy to expand at an annual rate of 1.9%, which is about 0.5 percentage points gloomier than the Federal Reserve Board.
My own view is that if the political air clears by March, a stronger economy will overwhelm remaining political weakness. After all, if winter comes, as it has, spring can't be far behind.

Chromatography (Forensic Science)
Chromatography was invented in 1903 by the Russian botanist Mikhail Semyonovich Tsvet, who used it to separate plant pigments, the various colored components of plants. It has been suggested that Tsvet arrived at the name "chromatography" for this process by combining the Greek words chroma and graphein, literally meaning "color writing." The uses of chromatography are not limited to colored substances, however.
The various forms of chromatography all share certain characteristics. For example, the sample to be analyzed is dissolved in a mobile phase, typically a liquid or a gas, which then comes into contact with a stationary phase, typically a solid or a liquid. As the mobile phase flows over the stationary phase, the various components of the sample are attracted to each phase to different extents, based on their physical characteristics. Those components that are attracted more to the stationary phase will move less quickly than those that are attracted more to the mobile phase, so the components separate from each other.
Chromatographic techniques may be categorized based on the nature of the mobile phase. In liquid chromatography, the mobile phase is a liquid. In gas chromatography, the mobile phase is a gas. Additionally, many of these techniques use columns containing the stationary phase; the mobile phase flows through the column after the sample has been dissolved in the mobile phase and applied to...

Chromatography (World of Forensic Science)
Chromatography is a family of laboratory techniques for separating mixtures of chemicals into their individual compounds. The basic principle of chromatography is that different compounds will stick to a solid surface or dissolve in a film of liquid to different degrees. Chromatography is used extensively in forensics, from analyzing body fluids for the presence of illicit drugs, to fiber analysis, blood analysis from a crime scene, and at airports to detect residue from explosives.
When a gas or liquid containing a mixture of different compounds is made to flow over such a surface, the molecules of the various compounds will tend to stick to the surface. If the stickiness is not too strong, a given molecule will become stuck and unstuck hundreds or thousands of times as it is swept along the surface. This repetition exaggerates even tiny differences in the various molecules' stickiness, and they become spread out along the "track," because the stickier compounds move more slowly than the less sticky ones do. After a given time, the different compounds will have reached different places along the surface and will be physically separated from one another. Or, they can all be allowed to reach the far end of the separation surface and be detected or measured one at a time as they emerge.
Using variations of this basic phenomenon, chromatographic methods have become an extremely powerful and versatile tool for separating and analyzing a vast variety of chemical compounds in quantities from picograms (10-12 gram) to tons.
Chromatographic methods all share certain characteristics, although they differ in size, shape, and configuration. Typically, a stream of liquid or gas (the mobile phase) flows constantly through a tube (the column) packed with a porous solid material (the stationary phase). A sample of the chemical mixture is injected into the mobile phase at one end of the column, and the compounds separate as they move along. The individual separated compounds can be removed one at a time as they exit (or "elute from") the column.
Because it usually does not alter the molecular structure of the compounds, chromatography can provide a non-destructive way to obtain pure chemicals from various sources. It works well on very large and very small scales; chromatographic processes are used both by scientists studying micrograms of a substance in the laboratory, and by industrial chemists separating tons of material.
The technology of chromatography has advanced rapidly in the past few decades. It is now possible to obtain separation of mixtures in which the components are so similar they only differ in the way their atoms are oriented in space, in other words, they are isomers of the same compounds. It is also possible to obtain separation of a few parts per million of a contaminant from a mixture of much more concentrated materials.
In gas-liquid chromatography (now called gas chromatography), the material that separates components is chemically bonded to the solid support, which improves the temperature stability of the column's packing. Gas chromatographs can be operated at high temperatures, so even large molecules can be vaporized and progress through the column without the stationary phase vaporizing and bleeding off. Additionally, since the mobile phase is a gas, the separated compounds are very pure; there is no liquid solvent to remove.
The shapes of chromatographic columns, originally vertical tubes an inch or so (2 cm) in diameter, became longer and thinner when it was found that this increased the efficiency of separation. Eventually, chemists were using coiled glass or fused silica capillary tubes less than a millimeter in diameter and many yards long. Capillaries cannot be packed, but they are so narrow that the stationary phase can simply be a thin coat on the inside of the column.
A somewhat different approach is the set of techniques known as "planar" or "thin layer" chromatography (TLC), in which no column is used at all. The stationary phase is thinly coated on a glass or plastic plate. A spot of sample is placed on the plate, and the mobile phase migrates through the stationary phase by capillary action.
In the mid-1970s, interest in liquid mobile phases for column chromatography resurfaced when it was discovered that the efficiency of separation could be vastly improved by pumping the liquid through a short packed column under pressure, rather than allowing it to flow slowly down a vertical column by gravity alone. High-pressure liquid chromatography, also called high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), is now widely used in industry. A variation on HPLC is super-critical fluid chromatography (SFC). Certain gases (carbon dioxide, for example), when highly pressurized above a certain temperature, become a state of matter intermediate between gas and liquid. These "supercritical fluids" have unusual solubility properties, some of the advantages of both gases and liquids, and appear very promising for chromatographic use.
All chromatographs must have a detection device attached, and some kind of recorder to capture the output of the detectorsually a chart recorder or its computerized equivalent. In gas chromatography, several kinds of detectors have been developed; the most common are the thermal conductivity detector, the flame ionization detector, and the electron capture detector. For HPLC, the UV detector is standardized to the concentration of the separated compound. The sensitivity of the detector is of special importance, and research has continually concentrated on increasing this sensitivity, because chemists often need to detect and quantify exceedingly small amounts of a material.
Within the last few decades, chromatographic instruments have been attached to other types of analytical instrumentation so that the mixture's components can be identified as well as separated (this takes the concept of the "detector" to its logical extreme). Most commonly, this second instrument has been a mass spectrometer, which allows identification of compounds based on the masses of molecular fragments that appear when the molecules of a compound are broken up.
Absorption chromatography (the original type of chromatography) depends on physical forces such as dipole attraction to hold the molecules onto the surface of the solid packing. In gas chromatography and HPLC, however, the solubility of the mixture's molecules in the stationary phase coating determines which ones progress through the column more
Chemists choose the mobile and stationary phases carefully because it is the relative interaction of the mixture's compounds with those two phases that determines how efficient the separation can be. If the compounds have no attraction for the stationary phase at all, they will flow right through the column without separating. If the compounds are too strongly attracted to the stationary phase, they may stick permanently inside the column.

You might like Basilisk.
There's ninja clans at war, supernatural abilities abound, and running themes of comraderie and vengeance in a world that regards ninja as nothing more than weapons instead of people.
This is all very broadly speaking though, and the similarities are rather loose. Needless to say Basilisk is much more grim. But if you love magic eye based powers, you certainly won't be disappointed.
I would like to see a Seinen like Pokemon, personally. Guts collecting and training a bunch of Marowaks or something to go after five Legendaries for murdering his gym and driving his journey partner insane, or something like that.

It's hard to explain what I'm looking for, but I'm gonna try.
When I say something like naruto I mean a manga that creates this big coherent universe, like dragon ball z, naruto, one piece, etc.
I don't mean SPECIFICALLY like naruto (plot, etc).
I'm looking for something like naruto, an adventure but with a more realistic approach to it in terms of relationships
"Blade of the Immortal"
it has a large semi-historical universe with memorable characters. more 'realistic' fight scenes (than Naruto)-- a fairly coherent universe. there's samurai, sex, and violence but it's not blantantly gratuitous... and USUALLY serves some sort of character-driven or plot-developing purpose.
Just finished watching Grandchild of Nurahiyon (aka Nurahiyon no Mago). It's basically about a boy who is 3/4 human and half yokai/demon and his adventures in trying to become the Lord of Demons. It's got a coming of age story as the boy in question is 12 years old and while it starts in modern times it does spend a lot of time with flashblacks tracing the history of the battle between humans and demons and how this boy's grandfather and father tried to establish a world in which demons and yokai could co-exist. Probably a bit happier than Naruto.

Firstly, the conversation of women in technology is far too expansive for one single post. Secondly, there are scores of women in cloud computing who deserve a feature of their own. Look to hear about many of them in the New Year. Not to rehash an argument as old as time, but it occasionally bears repeating: the glass ceiling has vexed many a qualified woman over the decades, limiting her rise

"The sport is in our blood," says Reid Bigland, President and CEO - Ram Truck Brand
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Officials with International Series of Champions (ISOC), the producers and promoters of AMSOIL Championship Snocross (ACS), are pleased to welcome Ram Truck as the presenting sponsor of the 2013-'14 series tour, which gets underway Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 at Spirit Mountain in Duluth, Minn.
Last year's Official Truck of AMSOIL Championship Snocross, Ram was interested in elevating its status with the world's premier snowmobile racing series. Showcasing the Ram brand throughout the 2012-'13 competition season, AMSOIL Championship Snocross' ultra-high proportion of pickup truck ownership amongst its audience (83.7-percent, with 68.9-percent owning a trailer as well) was deemed a perfect fit by Ram to come on board this season as the series' presenting sponsor.
"Ram Truck is pleased to be able to expand our relationship with ISOC," said Reid Bigland, President and CEO – Ram Truck Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "From the crew that designs, develops and builds Ram trucks, to our loyal owners, to the teams that compete in AMSOIL Championship Snocross, the sport is in our blood."
AMSOIL Championship Snocross' President and Race Director Carl Schubitzke agreed with Bigland, adding: "The AMSOIL Championship Snocross events provide a natural venue to reach passionate truck customers and demonstrate the Ram Truck lineup's outstanding capabilities. Our fans will see firsthand this year how Ram Truck offers a complete line of trucks that deliver capability, innovation and durability to its customers.
"We can't begin to tell you how pumped we are to have Ram Truck on board as the presenting sponsor for AMSOIL Championship Snocross."
Ram Trucks offer best-in-class gas and diesel performance and are capable of towing up to 30,000 lbs. – more than three tons greater than the closest competitor. To put 30,000 lbs. in perspective, that equates to a trailer carrying 48 snowmobiles (that's a line of snowmobiles nearly one-tenth of a mile long)!
Bigland went on to say: "Snowmobile owners are passionate about their trucks. They depend on them to get their family, friends and trailers loaded with sleds safely to where they're going. Often, that means through the harshest weather, most difficult road conditions and sometimes mountainous terrain. Ram trucks demonstrate unmatched capability, control and comfort, helping winter sports enthusiasts enjoy their recreation time. Bottom line; you can't beat a Ram truck for all-weather capability."
Ram Heavy Duty trucks powered by the 850 lb.-ft. of torque Cummins Turbo Diesel engine – the most powerful among all pickups – has earned an unparalleled reputation for its durability, and is well-suited to the all-weather trailer-towing demands of professional racers and amateur snowmobilers alike. For 2014, the Ram 1500 offers a new, 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine that delivers an outstanding combination of best-in-class fuel efficiency – greater than 25 mpg – unsurpassed torque and up to 9,200 pounds of towing capability.
The Ram Truck team – from designers, to engineers, to the men and women that build them – is passionate about snowmobiling. With so many Ram Truck employees based in Michigan, it's a popular winter pastime.
"You need look no further than the snocross parking lots across the nation to see that pickup trucks are the vehicle of choice of snowmobilers," added Bigland. "It's only natural for Ram Trucks to support this great winter sport, not only as the Official Truck of AMSOIL Championship Snocross, but as the presenting sponsor as well. This is where our customers are."
In addition to its AMSOIL Championship Snocross partnership, Ram Truck also sponsors seven-time ACS champion and 11-time X Games medalist Tucker Hibbert.
Beginning with AMSOIL Championship Snocross' season-opening round in Duluth, Minn. and running through the season finale in Lake Geneva, Wis. CBS Sports Network will broadcast 16 half-hour race shows – all in HD – of the ACS races.

Wat Phra Si Ratana Mahathat
The full name of this temple is Wat Phra Si Ratana Mahathat, but the locals call it Wat Phra Si or Wat Yai. The main wí·hăhn appears small from the outside, but houses the Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, one of Thailand's most revered and copied Buddha images. This famous bronze statue is probably second in importance only to the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew.

Review of chapter "Welcome Home" from
I do love your updates.....now just to clarify that would be the first post discovery of who Dawn is to Gibbs

Review of chapter "Welcome Home" from
Extremely nice, if a bit short. Liking how this is shaping up!
I'm wondering how long before Gibbs says something that reveals he knows at least a bit about the Council, at least the old one, from Ducky...
And I'm really interested in seeing the assault on GI Vampire!
Of course, things will get *interesting* then when Buffy returns 'home' and there's the big reunion.

Review of chapter "Past Imperfect" from
Very good story, and excellent writing. Someone actually seems to know plural v. singular of certain words, and things like the difference between calvary and cavalry.
I did expect Dawn to have a more difficult time accepting things given her lack of any memories (real or fake) and dreams vis-a-vis Shannon and Gibbs. I suppose an argument can be made she's just that willing to accept things as she wants a real father but I would have thought that particular drive might have been somewhat tempered by having had 'father-figure' Giles in their lives.
Also looking forward to how they resolve the vamp situation. If supernatural affects safety of his team, I can't see the Gibbs character letting that go now or in the future.
Comments from author:
Thank you. Dawn isn't having a difficult time, because she's happy to have a father who actually wants her- sort of a 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth' thing. (While Giles may be her father figure, she's always been clear he's not her biological father.) Shannon being her mother is more difficult for her to deal with, because it means trying to sort through the Shannon vs Joyce issue.

Review of chapter "Hey Little Sister" from
Why does everyone make such a big deal about the number of churches in Sunnydale? Cemetaries, I understand, but my hometown has a similar concentration of churches--and that's just the various Christian denominations I counted off Google.
Anyway, I loved how Gibbs handled Dawn and her reintroduction to Abby. I hope they get into a good, long talk with Ducky, too.
BTW: I might have missed/forgotten something, but when did team Gibbs get clued in to vampires?
Edit: While the entire metro area is a good size larger than Sunnydale, I only counted churches that had listed addresses in the community closest to Sunnydale's population. IIRC, when I looked for a comparison, the population was in the 35-40k range with 41 or 42 churches listed. It years ago when I looked, but the community has had an influx of people, and not a few of them are immigrants, so the the ratio back when Buffy was still on the air was probably a lot closer to Sunnydale's: ~32-37K with a similar number of churches.
Comments from author:
Does your hometown have a similar population? I'm curious, because I was judging by mine, which is just slightly smaller in population, but has only half as many churches. (And even to get that high, I'm counting a few defunct or merged churches, plus a several that don't have a building of their own because the congregation is so small.) I realize that in urban areas there is often a higher concentration of churches, but it seems anomalous for what we saw of Sunnydale on screen. By comparison, Santa Barbara CA (which is roughly the same real world area as where Sunnydale is supposed to be located) has about 60 churches- but a population around 90,000. So I'd say that Sunnydale does seem to be on the high side. Frustratingly, I had very little luck coming up with reliable stats on average churches per capita!
Not all of team Gibbs got clued in, but Ducky talked vampires with Gibbs in chapter 9, and a couple chapters later Ziva said they were mentioned during her time at Mossad.

Review of chapter "Hey Little Sister" from
Yeah, as terrifying as Gibbs might have been at intimidating potential suitors, I think Buffy, Willow, and Co. are leagues above him. So Gibbs still doesn't know that Giles was the father figure to which she referred or any details about the great "romantic dramas" or other situations that they went through. I really hope that Dawn doesn't tell him too much, after all, not all of the stories are really hers even though she was there (sort of). I just hope that you don't rush the sharing. I'm hoping for more drama first. Oh, and so, does Gibbs think that Dawn is a slayer (they don't really seem to grasp what that is yet, so it's a fair assumption)?
Comments from author:
Don't worry, while she may rush into some things, Dawn is quite clear that certain tales are all Buffy's to tell- the romantic drama definitely falls under that heading! (Can you imagine her being in a hurry to tell Gibbs what his teenage daughter got up to with her vampire boyfriend?)
Gibbs isn't even clear what a Slayer is right now- he thinks Dawn and Buffy both fight vampires, and he's pretty hazy on how that works.

Review of chapter "Hey Little Sister" from
So Dawn makes first contact. Good, she deserves having that. Though her stories of her childhood will be pretty hair raising. Still, that didn't start until she was 14, really. Hopefully she won't mention Buffy's running away during s2. Gibbs might be off tracking Angel down after hearing about some of that stuff. Still, the whole kidnapping thing is the weirdest part of this. Not by the council, apparently...
Comments from author:
Someone had to do it, and Buffy's a little busy... and Dawn does deserve it. But she won't be telling Buffy's stories- that will be up to Buffy.

Review of chapter "Hey Little Sister" from
"Like many American cities, Washington didn't have one single prominent church, since which one you considered important tended to depend on the denomination you belonged to."
That is arguable, I suspect that there is _one_ church in DC that most reasonably well read Americans will have heard of or seen mentioned on TV or in the news, namely the "Washington National Cathedral". Its also been mentioned or used in many TV shows, movies and novels.
Note Gibbs' reaction to hearing about number of churches in SunnyHell, along with the number of cemeteries there.
So I wouldn't have been too surprised if he looked for Dawn at the Cathedral rather than at Arlington.
Technically its a Episcopalian Cathedral, but its effectively the US's National Cathedral, note all the funerals, memorial services and other special services. See below.
National House of Prayer[edit]
Congress has designated the Washington National Cathedral as the "National House of Prayer". During World War II, monthly services were held there "on behalf of a united people in a time of emergency". Before and since, the building has hosted other major events, both religious and secular, that have drawn the attention of the American people.
Major events[edit]
Major services[edit]
The 2004 state funeral of Ronald Reagan
Funerals for three American Presidents have been held at the cathedral:[8]
Dwight Eisenhower (1969): Eisenhower lay in repose at the cathedral before lying in state
Ronald Reagan (2004)[9]
Gerald Ford (2007)
Memorial services were also held for presidents Warren G. Harding, William Taft, Calvin Coolidge, Harry S Truman, and Richard M. Nixon.[8]
Presidential prayer services were held the day after the inaugurations of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1937, Ronald Reagan in 1985, George H.W. Bush in 1989, George W. Bush in 2001 and 2005, and Barack Obama in 2009 and 2013.[10]
Other events include:
Funeral for former first lady Edith Bolling Galt Wilson (1961)[8]
Memorial service for former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt (1962)[8]
Memorial service for the casualties of the Vietnam War on November 14, 1982
Public funeral for Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jeremy Michael Boorda (1996)
Funeral for Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown (1996)
Funeral for U.S. Ambassador to France Pamela Harriman (1997)
Funeral for Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham (2001)
Memorial service for the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks
Special evensong for the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre
Funeral for educator and civil rights leader Dorothy Height (2010)
Memorial service for NASA astronaut and first man on the Moon Neil Armstrong (2012)
Funeral for U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawai'i, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and Medal of Honor recipient (2012).
It was from Washington National Cathedral's Canterbury Pulpit that the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered the final Sunday sermon of his life, just a few days before his assassination.[11] A memorial service for King was held at the cathedral later the same week.
Comments from author:
I stand by the words I gave Gibbs- what church in DC a person considers important is not clear cut. Washington is not a European city, where most people would think of one particular church or cathedral. There's even more than one cathedral. (Kennedy's state funeral was held from St. Matthew's Cathedral- because he was Catholic, so it needed to be held at the Catholic cathedral.)
Also, even if Gibbs had focused more on churches, the Washington National Cathedral is not particularly walkable from anything other than its own neighborhood. Xander told Gibbs Dawn was someplace she could walk to from where she was dropped off. Unless they were coming in from one or two specific neighborhoods, I'm having trouble picturing how Gibbs would come to the conclusion that Dawn would have been somewhere in walking distance of the cathedral.
