People of the world you can now rejoice. Your favorite boat builder has returned to the blogging scene. Thousands of emails, postcards, and phone calls can't be ignored forever. My keyboard is covered in dust and this first post back has added pressure on it to be great so lets get cracking. The picture to the left is a couple of days old but as you can see the 36' Calvin is nearing completion. All the fiberglassing is completed, the exhaust is finished and the below deck lobster tanks are plumbed and ready to go. Not pictured is the aluminum culling tray that John built and the aluminum trap slide that is being built (the two most impressive things will be in tomorrows post so check back in 24 hours). Rebuilding a deck can be a discouraging proposition because if you do a good job the boat looks exactly the same as it did when we started. Rip out all the bad and replace it with the good. This project has created more work, another boat showed up today to get the deck replaced. It will be nice to just tell the crew "do what you just did" while its fresh in their minds. This boat is 128% better than it was when it arrived at the shop and I think that the owner is going to be extremely happy with it. In case you haven't read all the old posts, this boat has.....
- new fuel tanks (that don't leak)
- new lobster tanks (with a sick water management system)
- new exhaust (wrapped with high temp blankets)
- new deck (raised, repitched, and rugged)
- lifting rails (boat will gain 2.2 knots)
- rope locker drain (locker had 13-18 gallons of water in it when it arrived)
- repaired outside shaft box and rudder step (just all around better)
How am I going to get back all the fans that I lost during my hiatus?
An interesting bit of information for people with older diesel motors in their boats......
The federal government has put up 300 million dollars into a clean diesel program, they pay for half of the motor and half of the installation if you apply and qualify for the program. I guess they are trying to eliminate as many of the tier 1 motor that they can. Every state has a different set of procedures to apply for this money and the dead line for application (in Maine) is March 27th. Today I wrote up an estimate for a local lobsterman that was in the process of applying for some of the free cash. If you have any questions that I can help you with leave a comment or send me an email though www.clarkislandboatworks.com. It will be interesting to see how many people get approved and how many hoops they have to jump through to get the checks. If you are thinking about repowering I would strongly suggest looking into it.... fill out a piece of paper and maybe get 50 grand from the greatest country on earth. The repower doesn't need to be completed until September of 2010, so send in your applications and call Clark Island Boat Works when you want to schedule the project. Then we can get some of that free money.
Shirts, Hats, and Coffee Cups are on the way (they should be here in time for the holiday season). If I'm going to start adding new content to the site then you guys have to start getting me new viewers (if everyone tells two friends then we should be over 100 views a day). Your welcome Internet.

A slightly modified version of the animated graph video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSqD7EFv0I0
Malcolm Kirk also commented
- I leave our loyal followers to extract anything worthwhile from all the above. I'm off to watch England beat Sweden.
PS – what we really need is someone to start a new topic – what about school meals - Robert you're indeed the ultimate 'luminary'. There was a programme on telly just last week featuring Thames Barges – the programme makers got stuck for several days with 'nay wind'. The camera boat was OK it was diesel powered.
Incidentally somewhere above you claimed that we would not go into a situation to 'help others'. You posted that on the day the remembrance service from the Falkland Islands was filling our television screens – explain!
The Doc's 'holier than thou' sermons are so boring and long winded, but I think he is in the renewables industry, so he is only defending his corner.
Thought for the day – a neighbours house had solar panels installed last week – perfectly legal, etc. A baby born last week will go through all the stages of growing up, with all that entails. Certainly for most of us the late teens and through the twenties were the most difficult when it came to earning enough and paying all the bills. The baby born last week, going into its 25th year on this planet, will still be paying as part of his/her utilities bill for the subsidy allocated to my neighbour's solar panels last week. As I understand it at the moment the factory gate price for one KWh of electricity as supplied from normal Power Stations is about 2.5p. The price of one KWh from solar panels is 43p – index linked – and guaranteed for those 25 years. - I hate to say this – but where is the proof that ' we must reduce our thirst for energy'. In my lifetime, since the 50s the atmosphere has never been cleaner. We used to have smokestacks belching out all sorts of nasties into the air we breathed – there are illustrations from centuries back showing chimney upon chimney polluting our streets, never mind whole cities.It may be that we can clean the air we breathe even further and I'm all for that, but why the doomsday scenario – its not fact. The atmosphere has warmed about 0.7 of one degree over the last several decades – this has happened before and in a few thousand years will probably happen again. OK – an atoll 1 metre above present sea level may disappear but eventually that atoll may very well reappear 2 metres above sea level. We can't control these things – well actually we can. A thousand years ago a threatened island would have died along with its population – nowadays we would go in there with millions of pounds (actually probably US dollars)worth of equipment and 'rescue' them and give them a lovely home somewhere else – sorted !
OOpps almost forgot – the new video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX_3Hvkbw-0
- Glasgow ? Glasgow ? There's nothing in the video of Glasgow – There's the Scott Monument in Edinburgh, the Kessock Bridge at Inverness ,oh, do you think Trafalgar Square is in Glasgow ? You also avoided the serious mind bending noise problem evident in the vid. Those wonderful feats of engineering you mention have one thing in common – they are all there for our use 24 hours a day and therefore justify their cost – electricity from wind farms is inefficient,unreliable,intermittent and hugely expensive for consumers, whilst giving huge profits to the few. And not one Power Station can be, or ever will be, closed down because of them.
- Robert – there are times to be serious and times to have a laugh – I try and mix them.

Bravo programming execs showed they've largely written off any chance of significantly improved ratings for this season's rejigged RHoNY, by letting it air against sister network's NBC's prime-time Olympic coverage, something they didn't allow with the previous night's RHoNJ.
It's almost as if the RHoNY cast were asking Bravo Execs whether this episode's scandalous title 'You Want to What Me in the Where?' was in recognition of this season's frankly dismal ratings for a once stellar franchise member. None-the-less a respectable (given this season's ratings) 1,441,000 (demo 0.6) viewers tuned in to hear the StumbleBums shock some of the Housewives with their ode to unconventional sex practices.

This. Besides, HoN is meant to be an arena, where many different heroes fight with and against each other, just like in LoL and Dota/Dota2; therefor it should not come as a surprise to see just that - many different heroes, also mechanical ones like Flux, Artillery, Gyrocopter (Dota) and Blitzcrank (LoL).
I have no problem with that I'm excited to see the new spotlight; the hero concept reminds me of the terran siege tank in Starcraft, those were good times...

Let's count!
Artesia (int, ranged) > Gravekeeper (int, ranged) > Berzerker (str, melee) > Draconis (agi, ranged) > Kinesis (int, ranged) > Gunblade (agi, ranged) > Blitz (agi, ranged) > Artillery (agi, ranged)
There were 11 heroes between and that were not agi ranged.
Also, just because it's an agi ranged does not mean it will play like every other agi ranged.

Song about the new hero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8pkAjSe11k
Ah, looking forward to this one. I'm very much loving S2's willingness to take agility into a direction other than "hard-carry".
To those saying "AMG ANOTHER AGILITY HERO!", I would like to point out that even with Artillery being added to the game, there are STILL more intellect heroes in the game than int. Calm down.
"Making fun of HoN is like making fun of George Bush. It has become the stupid mans joke and anyone with a pulse can have a good guffaw and think they are intellectually superior as they continue to roll around in their own feces." -[DRD]TheSopranosCheck out my HoN Dream Hero here: http://dream.heroesofnewerth.com/hero/Nine_Cloak/Cloak2
Just judging from his spells, he looks like an agility nuker along the lines of Dampeer. All of his abilities look castable, and all of them look like nukes.
First of all, I hope that his regular attack animation is a homing missile. That would just make my day.
Second, I hope his bunker down is a lot like Siege Tanks in SC2 where he deploys stabilizers from his legs to hinder his mobility, but increase the range and damage on each of his abilities substanially. I would also increase his auto attack range when he was in this deployed state. Artillery being in a deployed state, obliterating the enemy with the reports of his cannons, the roar of his missiles, and the chattering of minigun fire really would be a sight to behold.
Being able to PK in this state would make PK core on the hero as well, a first in a long while.
Can you imagine? Artillery being rooted to the ground, pounding away at the enemy team with his spells; If his position becomes compromised, he can PK away to a safer location, all the while maintaining "Bunker Down". I really hope thats what bunker down is.
However, knowing S2, this kind of inovation and originality will not be used. Instead, I'm willing to bet that Artillery will just have a bunch of long range abilities that are slightly altered from previous heroes, his attack animation will just be a bullet (a really slow bullet), and "Bunker Down" will just be a passive that gives him armor penetration or something like that. I really hope i'm wrong on this, as I would be mucho disappointed.
S2, no one cares if LoL players say you ripped off Xerath, as long as you make an original, awesome hero. LoL took Chipper from under your nose, might as well take one of theirs.

About the Virginia-North Carolina Alliance: The Virginia-North Carolina Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project led by the University of Virginia. One goal of the Virginia-North Carolina Alliance is diversification of the Science, Technology, and Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce, with an emphasis on increasing the number of underrepresented minority students earning baccalaureate degrees and matriculating to graduate school. The Virginia-North Carolina Alliance is led by the University of Virginia and includes the following partners: Bennett College for Women, Elizabeth City State University, George Mason University, Johnson C. Smith University, Piedmont Virginia Community College, St. Augustine's University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia Tech. The VA-NC Alliance offers individually tailored recruitment, retention, and enhancement activities to support students such as bridge programs, stipends, symposia, tutoring, mentoring, workshops, and research experiences. ********************************************** Students Kennedy Johnson, Nicole Sciortino, Jolie Nyiramahirwe, and David Vasquez ********************************************* During the summer of 2012, VA-NC Alliance undergraduate researchers detected a new molecule in space! Summer researcher, David Vasquez, described the discovery: "We ran an experiment in the lab I am working in with two graduate students, and discovered a new molecule in space by using Ammonia and Methylcyanide. Basically we hit the gas molecules with a lot of voltage in a chamber where the molecules break their bonds and form radicals which form new molecules. We looked at the spectra of these new molecules formed and compared it to Green Bank Telescope (GBT) data. For the next four weeks we worked with this molecule and measured it at many different frequencies and analyzed the data. We wrote a proposal to work with the GBT to look for the molecule in space, work with that data, and get a paper published hopefully. This is pretty amazing. They told us that there have been astrochemists who work their whole life and never find new molecules or get a paper published and we did this in our first experiment of the summer." ********************************************** about the VA-NC Alliance Summer Research Program! ********************************************* |

Rihanna sultry but samey at Honda Center
April 10th, 2013, 1:41 pm by BEN WENER, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERRiRi strikes a pose 'Phresh Out the Runway' in Anaheim. Photo: Kelly A. Swift, for the Register
Maybe you headed north to Staples Center to see her sold-out return Monday night. Or maybe you're headed south to catch her Thursday at the smallest spot she plays on her Southern California run, San Diego's Valley View Casino Center.
I chose to skip the big L.A. bash and stay closer to home, taking in Rihanna's Diamonds World Tour – her fifth outing overall and third arena production this decade alone – at Honda Center, where the 25-year-old Barbadian beauty delighted another capacity crowd of mostly young women competing to see who could pull off the wildest club wear.
It was a wise decision. The latest hits-stuffed spectacle from the astonishingly prolific tabloid target offers a handful of striking moments but also twice as many wasted opportunities. There's hardly enough wow to merit the Madonna comparisons tossed her way or explain why RiRi has risen to the same international mega-star level as Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Lady Gaga.

I recently took a peek at this online, interactive history of Oracle Corporation. When I got to the year 2008, I was surprised to see no mention of the production release of Exadata–the HP Oracle Database Machine. The first release of Exadata occurred in September 2008.
Once I advanced to 2009, however, I found mention of Exadata but I also found a couple of errors:
Blog update 2012.02.28: I've received countless inquiries about the storage used in the proof points I'm making in this post. I'd like to state clearly that the storage is not a production product, not a glimpse of something that may eventually become product or any such thing. This is a post about CPU, not about storage. That point will be clear as you read the words in the post.
In my recent article entitled How Many Non-Exadata RAC Licenses Do You Need to Match Exadata Performance I brought up the topic of processor requirements for Oracle with and without Exadata. I find the topic intriguing. It is my opinion that anyone influencing how their company's Oracle-related IT budget is used needs to find this topic intriguing.

Seo And Branding

I might add that having a company name first in the <title> tag offers lots of branding exposure for high ranking listings even when visitors do not visit the site. Having the company name at the end of the <title> tag is not as effective since the (human) scanners are less apt to see/read it.
Having every major portal within a market linking to you with your company name also helps ensure that anyone looking for your product/service will see your name whether they visit your site or not.
IMHO, SEO can play a part in branding for the web savvy segment of your target market.
Posted 03 November 2003 - 10:16 AM
Branding is also about experience, predictable experience, experience which had been conditioned by the expectations and turned out to be consistent with these expectations.I think branding and SEO are two different steps. Branding is about the instant association between a "thing" or action and a product, e.g. Google == search.
Google's perceived quality of results and speed of delivering these results is what feeds the trust that results in Google's brand.
The impact of both SEO and branding is amplified by sustained quality. Correspondingly, both SEO and branding can suffer tremendously from drop in quality.
Last but not least, brand is a shared experience. People influence each other in their experience of the brand. Google's billion searches per day are a testimony.
So, to summarize: positive shared experience amplifies branding. This way, one can see the difference between branding and SEO. SEO is just a channel for delivering branding. Both are not to be confused. SEO does not create the experience, it helps deliver the audience to the place of the experience.

As personal branding goes, she has achieved the goal. However, I do come to highrankings.com and do not search for her name (perhaps because I am a foreigner, I find certain last names difficult to spell, which of course is also good for personal branding).
Either way, I do come to this forum because I know I can learn from the intelligent discussion. I also like that the forum is managed by females -- I think it creates a more balanced and forgiving environment. The geek forums tend to be too harsh for my linking. Last but not least, I know that my experience is not unique -- many others have shared experience, which in turn amplifies the perception of the brand.

Years ago I used to go to many ASP Developer conferences. The audience was 98% males. Good talk but way too much testosterone. Then I went to a Macromedia World conference where there was a decent mix between programmers and designers and marketers, which improved quite a big the gender balance. As a result, the Macromedia conference was among the most enjoyable I'd attended. This was what prompted me to make the commend of female-administered forum

Intense Quantum Well Intermixing Laser Technology Revolutionizes High Power Laser Diodes
Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) is a fundamental semiconductor process used by Intense to set new standards for the performance, reliability, and manufacturability of high power laser diodes. QWI enables the integration of passive regions at the facets of laser diode emitters, arrays, and bars giving excellent performance, enhanced reliability, and superior manufacturing yield. The advance of QWI technology allows for the development of small form-factor, cost effective, and extremely versatile optical systems that can dramatically change the dynamics of existing products and create whole new market segments. The disruptive nature of Intense's revolutionary QWI laser technology is powering a wide range of laser diode products that require the precise delivery of optical energy, such as digital printing, advanced welding systems, and defense electronics.
QWI Revolutionizes the Reliability of Laser Diodes
Single mode semiconductor lasers are important for many precision applications, such as Computer-to-Plate (CtP) printing. Increased laser power and smaller form factors are being demanded in order to provide faster print speeds and lower costs.
High power multimode laser diode emitters, bars, and stacks are used in industrial and defense applications, including pumping solid state lasers, rangefinding, target designation, machining, and micro welding. High reliability, superior brightness, and enhanced power levels are needed for these increasingly demanding applications.
The power and reliability of a typical laser device are fundamentally limited by absorption in the facet region, giving rise to Catastrophic Optical Mirror Damage (COMD). A related major issue with conventional high power lasers is filamentation, which creates a hot-spot on the laser facet, limiting the optical power and causing COMD.
In response to the more sophisticated requirements of today's markets, Intense has developed an advanced QWI process to increase the Quantum Well (QW) band-gap of a semiconductor laser in a controlled and very precise manner, creating active and passive sections in the same laser cavity. The QWI process is illustrated in Fig.1 where a slight disordering of the QW region of a GaAs/AlGaAs laser results in a widened band-gap. Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a QWI enhanced laser diode.
Non-Absorbing Mirrors (NAMs) are created by the Intense QWI process, passivating the facet regions of the laser. Semiconductor lasers with NAMs have been shown to operate at much higher powers than conventional devices. For example, a dramatic improvement in single mode power can be achieved by including NAMs with a large QWI shift such that the risk of COMD is negated, giving a high performance single mode laser that can operate at enhanced optical power (>1W) with exceptional reliability (Fig.3). By comparison, a conventional laser without NAMs suffers COMD at low optical power.
The Intense QWI process has created a new standard in the reliability and performance of semiconductor laser diodes. In excess of 20 million total emitter hours have been collected at high optical powers. The exceptional lifetime enables very large arrays of up to 100 laser elements to be manufactured with per emitter lifetimes measured in millions of hours in Continuous Wave (CW) or pulsed operation.
In addition, Intense has developed a unique range of high power lasers using QWI technology that have extremely high optical power (over 10W from a 100µm wide emitter) and brightness with exceptional reliability by using a modified ridge waveguide structure and NAMs at the facet region.
QWI Enables High Yield Laser Array Manufacture
The NAM regions have low optical loss and are fabricated so they occupy a significant fraction of the length of the cavity. This relaxes the cleave tolerances during fabrication, allowing for a high yield process during manufacture. Large arrays of up to 100 laser elements can be integrated onto a single chip (see Fig. 4) with excellent laser parametric uniformity (see Fig. 5).
These large multi-element laser chips, together with drive ASICs and micro-optics, form the building blocks of complex optical systems, all packaged inside robust modules with a small form-factor.
Exceptional Uniformity & Beam Control
NAMs bring further advantages to many applications, including high precision printing, since the facet regions remain relatively cold during operation, giving an exceptionally well controlled single mode beam in terms of spot size and pointing stability. The exceptional uniformity and beam control of each laser element in a large array enables very high resolution imaging to be achieved.
Wide Applicability
The QWI process has been developed to cover a wide range of laser wavelengths (630-1650nm) allowing a broad range of products to be developed across many different market spaces.
Driving Innovation
Intense QWI lasers are driving a revolution in new product development across a wide spectrum of applications, from very high resolution thermal CtP and electrophotographic (EPG) printing, to lower resolution printing such as coding and marking. Intense is also penetrating the high power laser market, with a unique range of QWI lasers with high reliability, superior brightness, and enhanced power levels.
A disruptive technology, QWI is changing the basis of competition, allowing the pursuit of radical improvements in cost, performance, form-factor, and reliability for existing products as well as creating new markets.

Attack of the hydra-headed displays
Whether you're talking about a day trader, wannabe security guard, or voyeur extraordinaire, it seems that some people just can't get enough computer monitors to stack together. The latest example of this obsession comes from the "Paramount Parabolic Multi-Monitor Display" made by Humanscale.
Accommodating up to eight displays, the system tops even CineMassive's six- or seven-screen "MasterPlex" line. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this set-up--which apparently provides only the rack and mounts, not the actual LCDs--is that it requires no tools. Additional monitors just "snap into place," Dvice says.

Wheat harvest starts early
Posted by Nicole
Farmers in the Kennebec area started harvesting winter wheat on Monday, June 26, the earliest date some long time farmers ever remember harvest starting. Winter wheat yield reports vary greatly around the county from as low as 10-13 bushels per acre up to 60 depending on crop rotation. Continuous crop yields are down but wheat planted on summer fallow appears to be doing much better this year under the drought conditions.
The Kennebec elevator was open Sunday afternoon but the wait was short as trucks were dumping at both the elevator and condo sites. Todd Longville, assistant manager at the Farmers Union Coop Elevator, stated this was the earliest wheat harvest he has experienced.
With drought conditions affecting the winter wheat yields from Texas to North Dakota, the only bright spot for farmers harvesting wheat is the selling price. As of Monday, the elevator in Kennebec was paying $4.76 for new crop, which is about $1.79 more than last year's price on July 5, of $2.97 per bushel.

Members of the Action 4 News team worked together to bring you this report.
A new Chick-Fil-A restaurant on the UTPA campus in Edinburg was greeted by protestors on the first day of classes.
Students and staff all clamored to buy meals from the new restaurant early Monday afternoon.
But a small group of protestors has stationed themselves outside restaurant.
Both the UTPA Atheist Student Organization and the LGBT Alliance are circulating a petition to have the school close the Chick-Fil-A.
Working from behind a security fence, the group collected signatures from supporters.
Chick-Fil-A president Dan Cathy recently set off a firestorm of controversy and created a national debate about gay rights.
Cathy confirmed more than $3 million in contributions conservation and anti-gay groups such as the Family Research Council.
Chick-Fil-A, which is closed on Sundays, has always maintained itself as a Christian business.
In a previous statement, UTPA officials said the school "was surprised and disappointed by the comments made by Chick-fil-A's president," and that it opposes "discrimination in any form."

General Education Requirements
Candidates for all degrees must complete courses which meet the General Education Objectives of the College. Composition Requirements
- Rhetoric Courses. To graduate from Alma, students must demonstrate writing proficiency. Students are placed in writing courses on the basis of their ACT or SAT scores. Most students demonstrate proficiency by completing English 101 with a "C" (2.0) or better grade. The English Department may exempt students from this requirement if an assessment of their writing skills indicates equivalent proficiency has been obtained. Transfer students who took one writing course that transferred in as English 100 must complete English 101 with a "C" (2.0) or better grade. Transfer students who took a writing course that transferred in as English 101 need not demonstrate proficiency. All students must maintain writing proficiency or be remanded by a professor for additional work in writing.
- Quill Courses. Completion with a
passing grade of at least four courses
other than English 100 and 101 that
require significant writing shall be
required for graduation.
At least one of these courses will be in
the student's major and at least two
will be outside the major. Courses that
can be elected to fulfill this requirement
will be designated as Quill
courses in the course catalog description
and in the schedule of classes.
No transfer course meets a Quill
requirement without approval from
the department under which credit is
received. In this catalog, Quill courses
are marked with a
or a .
- Quill 1 courses integrate composition experiences with coursework which meets Alma's Writing Across the Curriculum requirement. At least 25 percent of the course's grade is based upon the evaluation of quality in such written products as papers, reports, journals or examinations. Syllabi and instructions for these courses specify the writing requirement and indicate its influence on evaluation standards.
- Quill 2 courses are within the requirements for a major which base 25 percent of the course's evaluation on out-of-class writing assignments. Each department provides at least one Quill 2 course. Instruction in these courses includes corrective and evaluative comments from instructors and opportunities for student improvement by revision and resubmission of a written assignment or by preparation of a series of written assignments.
- Remanding Process. If the quality of the writing done by a student for a credit-bearing course is judged inadequate, the instructor of the course shall remand the student to the English Department for evaluation and/or remediation.

The former advisor to President Bill Clinton in a long time and long time analysts here made a bowl prediction right here on the network he said Mitt Romney would win last night's election in a landslide.
I Dick Morris joins us right now.
What happened -- change what about your model compared to the reality.
Well I'm buried in -- mud slide -- Let me just say that I feel very badly for Barack Obama because.
Now he really inherited a mess.
Right -- -- benefits -- -- he's got -- more years with basically the same -- he's got a Republican House and he's got a more democratic senate I think that.
I think that the reason that -- prediction that I made was wrong.
Is that I was criticizing the polling because I said that it reflected the same turnout model.
As that was in 2008.
And I said that I thought that was a one off affair.
That it would not continue and that that was not going to be the permanent turnout model in the United States and I was wrong.
We are now in any turnout model that is totally different than we've ever had.
Black -- 13% of the vote not eleven.
Latino it's -- ten not eight.
And people under thirty are nineteen not seventeen.
The previous numbers with the -- model and I thought things would return to that they didn't they -- he'll wait -- Despite a lack of enthusiasm for Obama.
So what this is saying is this is the new Americans this -- in your -- America.
And that the percentage of women single women.
And voters under thirty.
Is so large at this point -- -- that unless the Republican Party fundamentally changes.
Its appeal to those voters.
It can never win an election or -- O'Reilly never get a -- female vote if they allowed to be about abortion and find themselves right on that issue.
-- -- and that was originating but clearly it was.
And immigration and all of that stuff and the point is that by the time you take.
-- African Americans Latinos under thirty voters and single white women.
And -- together.
Obama is leading the election before you count the first vote with 40% of the vote to like thirteen.
You have to win two thirds of the remaining vote in order to win.
And Romney almost did that you can't.
And if this candidate in this economy against this opponent.
Couldn't win an election -- this electorate nobody ever catch.
Right and what the Republican Party needs to do.
It's to stop trying to run in the face of those demographics.
But start appealing to them all right start revising some of its priorities of its positions.
In order to reach that vote because that vote.
Is here to stay.
All right you know did you see in -- popular vote is still 5453.
Million -- trip almost 54 million voted for Mitt Romney.
That's with Florida still in the -- so no one that.
And -- bombing is roughly 54 million so there's a lot of people who.
Aren't on board the ship but elect or -- it was very dominant 303 to 206 as we wait for Florida Dick stick around.

This convenient appliance makes it easy to prepare delicious meals with little effort. It's perfect anytime of year—on cold days when you need a hearty meal or warm days when you don't want to heat up your kitchen.
Check out these recipes, which include contest winners from the January/February 2007 Issue of Simple & Delicious.
For a sandwich with more pizzazz, give this French Dip recipe a try. The seasonings give the broth a wonderful flavor, and the meat cooks up tender and juicy. This new version is a favorite for Margaret McNeil and her family in Memphis, Tennessee.
Rhonda Melanson of Sarnia, Ontario revamped a favorite sloppy joe recipe into this thick spaghetti sauce that simmers in the slow cooker. Southern Barbecue Spaghetti Sauce has a flavor that is jazzy enough to be interesting to adults, yet mild enough to be enjoyed by children.
"My family loves these Soft Chicken Tacos," says Cheryl Newendorp of Pella, Iowa. "The chicken filling cooks in the slow-cooker, so it's convenient to throw it together before I leave for work. At the end of the day, I just have to roll it up in a tortilla with the remaining ingredients and dinner's ready in minutes." The chicken also makes a great topping for salad.
Heather Campbell of Lawrence, Kansas seasons this slow-cooker soup with spices and herbs rather than salt. "Healthy Tomato Soup is especially good with sandwiches and for dipping bread," she adds.

We are showing you the Global version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Vuelta a España 1985
"Nobody would ride. They preferred to see me lose and a Spaniard win."
- Robert Millar
A lead of over six minutes over a former trainee nurse by the name of Pedro Delgado on the penultimate day of the 1985 Vuelta evaporated for Robert Millar as quickly as a wisp of cloud over the Angliru.
The Scot had already congratulated his closest rivals on their brave efforts but the race was his. A puncture, a cartel of Spanish teams and the Peugeot directeur sportif intervened, and one of the biggest upsets in recent race history prevented Millar from becoming the first Briton to win a Grand Tour.
Millar's flat tyre on the second of the day's three climbs saw Delgado fly the nest in the company of Kelme's Jose Recio. Oblivious to the danger, Millar returned to the chase group with eyes only for his nearest challenger, the Colombian Pacho Rodriguez, just 10 seconds adrift overall.
With the final climb of the Vuelta, Los Leones, conquered and Millar glued to the wheel of Rodriguez, the race was seemingly won. But the lead pair had pulled out a five minute lead by this point, unbeknown to Millar until Peugeot director Roland Berland pulled alongside to belatedly inform him.
Now el maillot amarillo was stuck. Having burned the last of his Peugeot teammates regaining the 15-strong chase group, Millar was effectively alone: Berland had not secured the services of other teams beforehand – standard practice under the circumstances – so not one of those 15 riders would contribute to the Scot's cause. To pull the group along single-handedly would be to risk being jumped by Rodriguez.
Delgado had done the impossible, turning a six-minute deficit into a 36-second winning margin, attacking in the style that also netted him the '89 Vuelta and '88 Tour. Arguably, the '89 Tour would also have gone the Spaniard's way had he not missed his start in the prologue, losing 2'40" in the process.
For 'Perico', 1985 was the start of a brilliant career. For Millar, it was heartbreak and the dawning realisation that his future lay away from the Peugeot team.
The Vuelta a España begins on Saturday and Spain's grand tour is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
The Vuelta – music inspired by the Vuelta a España will be available to order from www.rapha.cc this Friday 27th August.

Whatever happened to music inspired by Le Tour? And what about the downloadable/mp3 version of the Giro album?
Joe Hall
26th August 2010 03:40pm
… Le Tour album will be gracing us with its presence come Tour-time 2011. Downloads are arriving for Christmas. But the CD is a much nicer way to own the music.

Couldn't agree more with buying the actual object rather than some virtual facsimile. Apart from anything else the compression that downlaodable files undergo robs the music of it's full range. There's a good take (and explanation of it on the bottom of this page
to quote:A note on mastering…
Radio Khartoum releases are mastered for listening, not the subway. Since the early noughts we have been instructing our engineers to just say no to the loudness wars (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gmex_4hreQ for a loudness wars primer). Remember the signature tinny production of the 1980s? Squashed dynamics is the post–mid-nineties equivalent. That said, this time around we're giving listeners a choice: we've produced alternate, "loud" masters of the Mares' Tails and How the Fallen Are Mighty albums. We're calling them the "loudness war editions" and making them available via download only. Though we don't like them as much as the masters used for the CD and vinyl editions, we have endeavored to make the L.W.E. versions sound as good as possible for what they are. And the loud versions are not all bad: we expect that they will be superior in many situations. Better for subways, noisy restaurants, cars, and iTunes party shuffle mode (going head-to-head with the rest of the world's overly compressed masters). Oh, right — add top-40 radio to the foregoing list. Better for basically everything … except listening.
Buy the Giro album, it's lovely and so will the Vuelta I have no doubt.

Programming today exhibits a voracious appetite for information, and one of the most important trends in languages today is to make access to data and services fluent and seamless. To help tame the data deluge, the F# team is working on a novel language and compiler extensibility mechanism, Type Providers.
Type Providers are a unique mechanism for applying the benefits of strong static typing to external, dynamic data sources. For example, Type Providers enable IDE support for "Intellisense"-style completion on dynamic data sources while exploring their APIs. When the code is compiled, programmers can then enjoy static typing against these data sources with a variety of options for code generation.
This talk will describe the foundations of Type Providers, their supporting F# language features and their benefits towards tooling. Relevant usage scenarios for Type Providers (such as data-oriented programming, application scripting and protection against spurious code generation) will also be discussed.

Langasek: Upstart in Debian
Posted Nov 27, 2012 4:27 UTC (Tue) by s0f4r (guest, #52284) [Link]
Posted Dec 3, 2012 16:11 UTC (Mon) by JanC_ (guest, #34940) [Link]
The rcS script is part of the sysvinit compatibility, so you probably can't really remove it without removing sysvinit compatibility (at least, sysvinit as it is implemented in Debian).
The rcS job runs '/sbin/sulogin' to get you an emergency shell (and also contains an embeded script needed for sysvinit compatibility when you leave single user mode).
Now, all that is really only because of the support for runlevels and other sysvinit features desired by a distro like Ubuntu & Debian, of course. None of that is mandatory; so you could create a much simpler upstart setup if you don't need all that (e.g. for an embeded or other dedicated system like webOS).
