Three new bills have been introduced in the House and Senate, aimed at encouraging energy efficiency in new construction and major renovations of commercial buildings. S. 3628, the EXTEND the Energy Efficiency Incentives Act of 2006, would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to improve and extend certain energy-related tax provisions. The legislation was introduced on June 29 by Senators Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and John Kerry (D-MA). The bill would increase and extend the tax deduction for energy-efficient commercial buildings that was included in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which Washington, D.C.-based BOMA Intl. actively supports. More specifically, it would increase the maximum amount of the deduction from $1.80 per square foot to $2.25 per square foot for new construction projects. For renovation projects, it would increase the deduction for each of the three subsystems (lighting, envelope, and HVAC and hot-water systems) from $0.60 to $0.75 per square foot. The program is now set to expire at the end of 2007, and this legislation would extend it through 2011, with some additional time for projects with particularly long lead times. H.R. 5809, the Energy Efficient Buildings Act of 2006, was introduced on July 17 by Representatives Melissa Hart (R-PA) and Brian Baird (D-WA). Similar to S. 3628, it would increase and extend the energy-efficient commercial buildings tax deduction. However, the Senate bill's proposed extension is longer than the House bill, and the Senate bill also addresses incentives for noncommercial property which the House bill omitted. H.R. 5633, also called the Energy Efficient Buildings Act of 2006, was introduced by Representative Judy Biggert (R-IL) on June 16. The bill would make available $10 million per year in fiscal years 2008-2012 for buildings that best employ and demonstrate the likelihood to reduce energy consumption by at least 25 percent for new construction in comparison to the energy standard set by ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 or 20 percent for major renovations compared to energy consumption before renovations are begun. Grants would be available for up to 50 percent of design and modeling costs, not to exceed $50,000 per building. Preference will be given to projects that "are least likely to be realized without federal assistance."

Are you still pushing this perceived 'conspiracy'? It's really not like that at all.
We hear about devs dropping all the time, yet ironically you don't apply your own 'logic' to it; Criterion with Burnout, Madden pretty much every year since they lost competition (or bought out), Infinity Ward (even well before the issues with Zampella/Ward), etvc etc.
I don't really think it should be an issue worth of any forum's discussion (unless you're talking about the typical childish behavior found in popular IGN, Gamespot etc comments sections).
It's really a reach when people start pointing fingers.

The U.S.S. Sulaco is a fictional spaceship shown in the film Aliens and briefly seen in Alien3. Her name comes from a fictional port in Joseph Conrad's novel Nostromo, which was the name of the spaceship in the previous movie in the series. In Aliens, the Sulaco is used by the United States Colonial Marines, a fictional military force, as a transport to investigate the loss of communication on LV-426. The following information is from the film and the book "Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual".
[show]Description Edit
The Sulaco is a Conestoga class starship, thirteenth of its class, originally designed as a troop and logistics transport. By 2179 in the Alien-universe, these ships had been converted into a rapid-response military transport, with orbital bombardment and fleet support capabilities.
The Sulaco masses 78,000 metric tons and can carry an additional 20,000 tons of cargo. It measures 385 meters (1,260 ft) in length. As a troop carrier, the Sulaco carries two UD4L Cheyenne dropships in the film (though it is capable of holding eight) and has sufficient life support capabilities for 90 crew and passengers to be supported indefinitely. In an emergency, as many as 2,000 troops can be placed in hibernation in the main cargo hangars for a maximum four days. Colonial Marines stationed on the ship each receive a small locker for uniforms and personal paraphenilia, while Officers are granted larger lockers for their personal items. No actual crew is needed —- the ship is fully automated and can sustain and defend itself with the use of an advanced Artificial Intelligence computer. An android (Bishop in this case) accompanies most missions to monitor the computer and life support systems.
It is powered by a Westingland A-59 3.6 terawatt fusion reactor using high density lithium hydride for fuel. The high density of the lithium hydride provides the ship with one whole year of power with only 900 cubic meters of fuel. The reactor itself is protected by armor and in an emergency, the reactor can vent pressure and eject dangerous liquids safely into space, preventing damage of the ship itself. It has a regular acceleration of 0.5g (5 m/s²) and can go a maximum acceleration of one g, but will burn 16 times as much fuel if it operates at this speed. Sublight propulsion is provided by four GF-2400 rocket motors using industrial carbon-diamond as reaction mass. Faster-than-light propulsion is provided by a hyperdrive tachyon shunt, with a maximum speed of 0.74 light year per sidereal day. The ship is designed to operate in space only — if it enters an atmosphere with any type of gravity, it will not be able to sustain any acceleration and crash. The Sulaco's hull panels are constructed from radar absorbing material, which reduces the ship's radar cross section to low levels. It is painted dark grey to keep the ship from being seen by the naked eye.
After the Sulaco launched the cryotubes with Ripley, Hicks, Newt and Bishop, it is unknown what happened with the ship afterwards.
Armaments Edit
- Eight long-range ASAT missiles fired from the dorsal launch bay
- Two forward-firing 800 MeV Neutral Particle Beam weapons, which can disable the electronics systems of enemy spacecraft out to a range of 100,000 km
- Four (two twin turrets, one dorsal, one ventral) Kinetic Energy Railguns
- Two 80 MW point-defense lasers for vaporizing incoming missiles and kinetic energy rounds
- Ventral mine dispenser — magazine can hold up to 60 orbital fragmentation mines
- Up to 80 guided re-entry vehicles including bunker buster, high-explosive, and nuclear warheads
- 20 decoy ballutes and two maneuverable decoy drones in aft ventral bay.
- A jamming system that allows the scrambling of electronic signals up to 6,000 miles away in space and up to 60 miles through an atmosphere.
Film Design Edit
Syd Mead, a principal conceptual designer on Aliens, first designed the Sulaco as a massive sphere, bristling with antennae. James Cameron was not satisfied; he sketched the "style" of ship he imagined, which was more like a streamlined warship plying the black. Syd's subsequent redesign is what we see on screen: he maximized Cameron's direction, making the Sulaco a battleship — essentially an enlarged version of a pulse rifle.

'm actually a few days in to my thousand word a day experiment, and it has now occurred to me that the first day's writing probably should have been about what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. Better late than never.
I listened to good interview with Chris Guillebeau, and he said that he sets his daily writing minimum at a thousand words. Stephen King prescribes the same amount to start, and then recommends graduating to two thousand words eventually. Up until now I haven't had a daily writing minimum-I just write whenever inspiration strikes me, or if it hasn't stricken, Sunday or Wednesday nights.
I consider myself to be serious about blogging, but my writing output doesn't really support that consideration. How serious can I be about something that I don't even do every day?
So now, a thousand words every day. It can be a blog post or writing that contributes to another project like a book, ebook, guest post, or the next blockbuster screenplay. Emails don't count, of course.
My average blog post is around seven hundred words, which means that at my new clip, before bumping up to two thousand words a day, I'll be writing about ten blog posts per week. I intend to pick the best of the bunch each Monday and Thursday, which I hope will raise the average quality of my posts. In addition, this lets me tackle more difficult subjects or longer stories that may or may not come together. If I'm writing the night before a post is "due", I tend to play it a bit safer.
Besides Chris G and Stephen King, I was inspired to do this after reading the talent books. In fact, those books were also the inspirado for doubling my posting to twice a week rather than once a week. Between the two books, I've been convinced that the more you do something the better you'll become at it. So besides having a larger output of work, which is a good thing, I'm hoping that I'll learn something in the process.
Talent is Overrated makes a big point that while repetition is important, it's not enough. You have to work outside your comfort zone. This is why, for example, experienced doctors aren't any better than rookie doctors. They aren't engaging in "deliberate practice", generally; they're just operating within their comfort zone.
So along those lines, I'll come up with little missions for myself, like trying to write a post with a lot of humor in it (I joke around constantly, maybe excessively, in real life, but all of my posts are serious for some reason), or trying to rewrite from memory someone else's post that I liked.
I think of writing as this laborious, time consuming process, but after timing the first couple thousand words, I realize that I write about four thousand words per hour. That means that it only takes me around thirty minutes per day to do my mandatory writing. What's embarrassing is that I consider blogging to be my profession, or at least an integral part of it, yet I clearly wasn't writing a full thousand words per day on average. Even when I get up to four thousand words per day-- a two hour workday-- while not as catchy as a four hour workweek, is pretty manageable.
You might want to integrate this habit in your own way. I was telling an artist friend about it, and she told me that she does marker drawings first thing every morning. Another friend told me that her actor friend free-writes every morning, because he wants to some day write plays. The daily habit is a powerful one and doesn't have to take a ton of time.
I know I mentioned that I was going to have a travel post today, but I need to do a tiny bit more legwork before posting it. Probably Monday.
Have I mentioned that I'm going to Japan in November? I got a good ticket that has a 24 hour stopover in Beijing on both ends, so I'll also get to check Beijing out for the first time.
Question: any interest in paying a small fee ($5-10) per month to get way more blog posts emailed to you? With this 1000 words per day thing I'm writing way more than I can publish here, and paying customers would be good motivation to keep it up.
If you've been reading for a while, you may have noticed that I almost never swear. I tend to think that there's a more accurate way than swearing to express anything, but today I couldn't think of a more fitting word.
What is bullshit? Well, it's watching TV. It's browsing the internet mindlessly. It's partying. It's doing busy work. It's hanging out with people not so much because you like them, but because you don't want to be alone. It's eating for the sake of filling time.
Now, none of these things are pure evil. That's what makes this tricky. You can watch TV and learn something interesting, or enjoy the relaxation it brings. You can stumble upon cool sites that you wouldn't have found if it weren't for mindless browsing. You can meet new people while partying. Busy work leads to a paycheck sometimes. Occasionally those random low-key hangouts whose primary purpose is to avoid loneliness elevate into great conversations. And hey, you've got to eat sometime-- why not now?
These silver linings are blessings and curses. They embed some merit into otherwise bullshit activities, but at the same time that merit gets over-inflated and allows us to engage in these sorts of things without the mental repercussions that may come from something like, say, smoking crack. Even now, I imagine that your brain is objecting by saying, "Well, I met ____ when I was partying, so he's wrong about that one. And the other day on Reddit I learned about ______, so that sort of browsing is fine."
"I feel stronger." Years later, the line still randomly comes to me, unbeckoned.
It was from one of the most odd and intriguing video games ever made -- Planescape: Torment. You woke up in the morgue as a scarred and battered man who didn't know his name. When you got killed, you would… wake up back in the morgue. You were immortal. You couldn't die. Your goal was to figure out how this happened, who you are, and what you should do about it.
It was beautiful, well-written, and immersive. But the point that still stands out to me is that line.
"I feel stronger."
It happened when you leveled up. The levels up weren't something you chose; they just happened when you accumulated enough experience. It's an interesting metaphor -- you wake completely ignorant, but as you accumulate experiences, you feel stronger. Not "I am stronger." I feel stronger.

Met up with a guy on craigslist yesterday and bought me these.....
33x13.50x15 TSL Radials. 25 miles on them, the super swamper stamped logo isnt even worn off the bottom of the lugs yet.
Best part.......
They're being mounted on rockcrawlers right now. I'll bolt them up and throw up some more pictures this evening.
Good deal on those tires.
01 SFA 1500: project truck, in pieces again
87 Jeep Cherokee: trail rig, slowly getting built
03 Buick LeSabre: fully loaded daily driver
84 M1009: constantly broken money pit, finally gone
Dang thats a heck of a deal. post some pics once you get them on.
91 Z71, 350, 5speed, 6" RCX, 35x12.50 MTs, Ion Alloy wheels
Dang man you got a deal you lucky bastard lol!!!
Not trying to bust your bubble desert fox but those look like super swamper bias ply ltb's not tsl radials, I'm only saying this becasue they don't look like tsl radails at all the sidewall is different and they don't make a 33x13.50 in a tsl radial but that is still a good deal considering they run about $650 to $700 a set depending were you get them but still a good buy.
98 k1500 5.7 Magnaflow exhaust BBK 80 mm throttle body AEM brute force CAI nelson performance tune 93 octane RC 6" 285/70/17 BFG KM2 4 14 bolt sf disk brakes 4l60e fully built
I know for sure the 31 and 33 LTBs do not say LTB on them, they only say TSL. The LTB tires are a version of the TSL. The only TSL in 33x13.50 I know of is the LTB. And that sidewall looks just like my LTBs.
I'm not sure of the price now, but I bought a new set $155 each a couple of years ago.
BTW, unless you don't mind a rough ride, you aren't going to like those tires. I don't mind the rough ride, but once I get over 60 mph it seems like my doors are going to vibrate open.

One very quick way to tell if they are radials or not, is the tire size 33x13.50-15LT or are they 33x13.50R15LT? The R stands for radial, for those that don't know.

Yup they're bias ply. I bolted them up and took them for a ride and to be honest they're not for me. The vibrations may not bother some, but for me its too much. Note to anyone reading this thread, I'm going to post a ad in the classified section and put them up for sale. If anyone here is interested in them PM me.

The big lug on the tires just barely kiss the fender with some compression at full lock to the left, the right clears just fine. Oh, it's not just x10s; it's x10s with 3 1/2" of backspacing on a Fabtech. It's a wide bitch.

All swampers will say TSL on the side, because TSL is Three Stage Lug, all their tires are. My SSR Radials had TSL on the side of them. That's a pretty good deal, I got my 36x12.5 TSLs for 500 with a little less tread than that. Just gotta wait for the deals, my buddy got brand new (literally) 35" MTRs for 600 bucks.

Hardwood floor sander
I saw Bob interview a floor refinisher who designed a new floor sander with four randomly orbiting heads. Its design allows for sanding across the grain of the wood instead of inline with a drum sander. Where is this product availble?

Nevermore: The Hymen and the Loss of VirginityThe loss of virginity is irreversible. Even God, who performs all sorts of miracles, parts the seas, raises the dead, cannot, according to our religious traditions, reverse its finality. Even in today's sexually permissive world, the loss of virginity is an important developmental milestone that marks the passage to adult sexuality. On one side of the threshold lies Peter Pan's never-never land, a world of perpetual childhood. On the other lies adult sexuality, procreation and parenthood, and ultimately death. |

Greetings all,
I am new to the mac world as well as this forum. I recently bought a macbook aluminum (late 2008), but some defect got me a new deal from the store manager. He asked me if i wanted to exchange my defective macbook for option 1) the new poly macbook 2009 that was just released a few days ago, or 2) macbook pro aluminum both as baseline models and has almost identical specs. RESULT & WHY: I decided to take a loss here. I chose the White Macbook Unibody 2009. Althought i loved my aluminum laptop so much and was so happy to get a new one, let alone that it was a pro model, but the problem was, i know there are a few issues with it. I had it for a few days i know its pretty heavy, its also pretty slippery. The casing is very sensible to scratches and damage such as dents. Overall too delicate. The white macbook on the other hand is a newer model for one, and 2 i really dont need anything like SD card or FIREWIRE. i am just a websurfer, you know? I know i am stupid for not getting the more expensive model, but seriously, the macbook in my hands for 3 days, in the sleeve has already suffered tremedous amount of damage and scratches from the edge of the desk to the zippers of the sleeves. So im going with the safer choice here. Thanks for listening, hope that helps some of you take the PLUNGE!!!! peacceeeee |

Neurectomy for palliation of primary erythermalgia. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 7540409 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Ankle nerve crushing followed 6 months later by neurectomy was used for relief of a burning sensation and pain in a 32-year-old woman who had symptoms of unilateral primary erythermalgia. The patient continues to experience considerable improvement of the preceding symptoms and no complications from the insensate foot 1 year after neurectomy, although redness and tenseness of the ankle and the foot have persisted. |

'Wet Hot American Summer' series is coming to Netflix with reunited cast
It was a bomb at the box office and critics hated it. Now, 14 years later, the cult hit is coming to your TV.
Netflix is the world's largest online movie rental service with more than 23 million service subscribers. The platform offers instant streaming video as well as DVD rentals by mail.
Members largely pay $7.99 for the popular monthly subscription to stream unlimited movies and TV shows. Netflix streaming is also available on Microsoft's Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 consoles. The seamless service is also available on more than 700 devices including Blu-ray disc players, Internet-connected televisions, home theater systems, and other Internet-supported video players.
The Internet movie service split its popular $9.99 unlimited streaming and mail-in DVD rental package into two separate services in 2011. The company offered unlimited Internet streaming for $7.99 and DVD rentals for $7.99. This meant a 60% price hike for customers. Netflix rebranded the unlimited DVD service Qwikster. Those plans were quickly called off after Netflix lost 800,000 customers in the immediate quarter. The 50% drop in Netflix stock after the price hike was dramatic from its 52-week high of $304. It currently ranges from $62 to $70.
The company reports recent number gains and overall growth. Netflix was founded in 1997 by current CEO Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph. Its corporate offices are in Los Gatos, Calif.
It was a bomb at the box office and critics hated it. Now, 14 years later, the cult hit is coming to your TV.

In other words: If a user was looking for a series available in 4K resolution, Netflix would direct him to 4K models.

I didn't want to threadjack, I was also wondering about the time frame for delivery on the 913HD. I had ordered a 20* and 23* in March, and I haven't heard anything regarding shipping times or estimated delivery. I was just wondering what the estimated time frame usually is? Thanks
Typically with custom clubs such as the 913Hd we quote 7-10 business days in regards to delivery. This all depends on if all components are available at the time of build (some components are on shortage and some need to be ordered direct from the shaft vendor). With your particular order, we did experience a small delay with the 20* head.
We do apologize for the delay; my recommendation would be to contact the place of purchase and have them contact our club department to look up the order and confirm a delivery date to you.

The darkness spreads around us — black as obsidian and even as a slate. Faint flickerings from the stars above and the lights of the Southern California coast offer a meek challenge. But as the moon sets behind Santa Catalina Island, sea and sky unite, nearly obliterating the horizon.
It seems a cruel prank to dump a man into the open ocean in this void — outfitted only with a swimsuit, goggles and cap — and then to watch as he struggles to swim back to the distant shore.
Yet we have come to Catalina to do just that. Friends, school chums and support crew, even his parents, are accompanying Peter Attia, a young doctor from Baltimore, on his quest to become the 120th person to cross the channel.
That means swimming from Doctor's Cove near the northwest end of the island to a beach beneath the Point Vicente lighthouse on the Palos Verdes Peninsula — 20.2 miles as the dolphin swims. And possibly much longer for a human buffeted by wind and waves.
Many people in Los Angeles cast their gaze across the water at Catalina and recall summer idylls past — peering at fish through a glass-bottom boat, tracking buffalo in a noisy Jeep or smacking saltwater taffy in sleepy Avalon.
Endurance swimmers look across the same expanse, says veteran channel crosser David Clark, and feel the same compulsion as some small children when they first enter a pool. "One lap across . Just one very, very long lap."
The English Channel remains the world's marquee attraction for marathon swimmers. But if the Dover to Cape Gris-Nez crossing — conquered by an estimated 810 swimmers since the late 1800s — is the Mt. Everest of long-distance swimming, then the Catalina Channel is K2, a monumental challenge that rarely enters the consciousness of those outside the swimming fraternity.
Although the two passages are similar in distance, the English Channel generally is considered to offer the stiffer challenge because of its colder water and swifter currents.
In its relative obscurity, the Catalina Channel — known on nautical charts as the San Pedro Channel — has gone unchallenged for years at a stretch. But not this year, according to the Catalina Channel Swimming Federation (www.swimcatalina.org), the volunteer organization that promotes and monitors the crossings.
The federation logged 11 successful transits from July to early this month, more than in any year since a 17-year-old Canadian became the first to accomplish the feat in 1927.
Now Attia, a native of Toronto, rides a small Boston whaler from his support boat to the shore at Doctor's Cove — the closest departure point to the mainland that also offers a hospitable beach.
If all goes according to plan, the prevailing southeasterly current will give him a little push, and his late-night departure will help him avoid the winds and chop that tend to blow through the channel in the afternoon.
The 32-year-old surgical resident has prepared as much as he can for this moment, boosting his fitness by logging 20 to 30 watery miles a week training back home. He diagramed the physics of his stroke like a scientist and became a savant of sports-drink chemistry to prepare his mid-channel nutrition.
But all the preparation in the world can't diminish the more than 30,000 strokes needed to reach the far shore. The distance is nearly 50% farther than he has ever swum. And those miles will not be logged in his overheated club pool or the Northern Virginia lake that maintained a steamy 80-plus degrees this summer.
Attia will plunge into an ocean that he knows has beaten far more accomplished swimmers. He can recite the story of the renowned swimmer, Lynne Cox, who gave up one quest when her support boats lost her in dense fog. And he knows how a record-breaking distance man had to be dragged from the channel, near death, after his body core temperature plummeted to 88 degrees.
The dangers not only don't deter him, they inspire him. "He is an extremist in everything he does," says his wife, Jill Attia, 28. "He has to do everything to the nth degree."
Attia calls it "an honor and a privilege to even try this," adding on one of his last days of training: "If the channel is kind enough to let me through, I will be honored to be in the company of those who went before me."
And so it beginsJUST before 12:19 a.m. Oct. 11, Attia stands alone on the pebbly beach. A diving barge that normally teems with young campers on bright summer days floats just off the beach, eerily silent. Flying fish flit just below the surface in the unexpected light from the 63-foot dive boat, Bottom Scratcher, which will follow Attia and be home base for his supporters.
The muscular swimmer wades into the water, his skin shining in the faint light. A smattering of applause and shouts of encouragement drift over the water. "Let's go, Pete! Go, baby!" screams Jason Pyle, a Stanford medical school buddy.
Within a few moments, the euphoric rush of the start gives way to the night's quiet — broken only by the rhythmic slap, slap, slap of Attia's arms breaking the water.
From the boat, little can be seen but the glow stick pinned to the swimmer's Speedo and the matching lights hung from a kayak that help him to navigate.
On board the Bottom Scratcher, Clark's wife, Margaret, the channel federation's monitor this night, begins her log. She notes the water temperature — an unseasonably warm 66 degrees. And she jots down the condition of the seas: "silky smooth."
Attia feels a surge of adrenaline — fueled by the glassy conditions and by a light show unfolding before him. Each time his hand cuts the water, microscopic algae near the surface burst into a plume of phosphorescent sparks.
Rolling onto his back for his first feeding from a bottle of dextrose-enhanced sports drink, Attia declares: "The water is beautiful!"
On board the Bottom Scratcher, I can't help but feel a little giddy too. Attia had said a few days earlier that I could join him in the water at some point as a pace swimmer. Now the prospect of plunging in seems a bit more pleasant — the placid conditions subduing my earlier fantasies of a death struggle atop a roiling ocean.
But skipper Greg Elliott, who at 64 has two decades on the ocean, issues a good-natured warning.
"You never talk about how good the weather and the ocean is," says the sun-ravaged, white-bearded captain, "or God will jump up and throw a hurricane at you."
Lurking predatorsEVERY channel swimmer must overcome emotional hurdles, at least as steep as the physical ones. For Attia, that included the fear of swimming at night in an unknown ocean, reaching again and again, forward into the colorless sea.
Once, crawling in darkness, he sensed something had changed.
Barracuda. From behind. They bared their razor teeth and surged toward him. Attia amped up his stroke rate. He tried to pull away. But he couldn't escape the sleek predators here in their domain, and they bit and ripped at his ankles.
Then it ended, quite suddenly with Attia snapping awake. Still home in his bed. It was only a dream, several weeks before he left for California.
"There are so many things," he said, "that make this really frightening."
To say nothing about the rigors of preparation. While at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Attia had logged as many as 100 hours a week in his demanding residency. What little time remained he divided among eating, sleeping and swimming — three or four hours a day in the pool and a swim each weekend of up to eight hours in northern Virginia's Lake Barcroft.
No matter how well he budgeted his time, the roughly 26 miles of training he could cram into a week left him at the low end for those preparing to take on the Catalina Channel.
Many endurance swimmers begin training in childhood, but Attia did not have a tremendous reservoir of experience to draw on. He swam his first pool lap just five years ago and didn't complete his first open water swim until the summer of 2004.
Most swimmers who start so late in life can be spotted with ease. They're the ones churning the water furiously, producing little glide per stroke.
"They usually just really, really struggle to get it," says John Flanagan, Attia's coach and a trainer of Olympic medalists. "But Peter's kinesthetic awareness is just so great that he is able to do something that is totally alien to him. He's a beautiful swimmer."
At 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, with thick shoulders and chest, Attia resembles less a distance swimmer and more a defensive back or the boxer he once was.
Attia, who majored in mechanical engineering as an undergrad, worked relentlessly on streamlining his body position in the water. He drew diagrams to understand how to balance the center of gravity in his belly and the center of mass in his chest — forces that tend to drive the upper body toward the surface, while dragging the lower body down.
He crammed a notebook with workout logs and sketches of stick figures in motion, then broke it down in his mind. His ideal stroke, he will tell you, begins by entering the water, "pinky first, immediately rotating my humerus, catching water with my elbow high, pulling and not seeing any bubbles because I've entered cleanly. And then rotating my hips — snap, snap, snap. It's really a beautiful, beautiful problem of physics — generating a torque to oppose the torque our body generates."
In the 11 days leading to his attempt, Attia and his wife holed up in La Jolla, where he made daily swims to acclimate to the cold ocean. In the couple's tiny room at the Travelodge, he spent hours planning how to dilute and enhance a variety of sports drinks to deliver the optimum combination of carbohydrates and electrolytes for the 20-plus miles ahead.
And he repeatedly watched a DVD about his hero, Terry Fox, a young Canadian who captivated his nation by running cross-country in 1980. His right leg amputated because of a rare bone cancer, Fox completed a marathon — 26.2 miles — each day for 143 days, before his cancer returned and forced him to stop.
Attia became mesmerized by Fox in grade school and says he hopes his one-day trial in the Pacific will bring attention to the Terry Fox Foundation, which has raised $360 million for cancer research.
"My swim pales in comparison to what he did. But, mentally, I am as tough as the next guy," Attia says. "And what I lack in ability or in technique I hope to make up for in toughness."
Winds of changeABOUT 3 a.m., the sea gods make it clear that Attia will not get a free pass this night.
The winds suddenly snap to life, with gusts to 20 miles an hour that kick up a fierce chop. White caps top 4-foot swells and make it hard for Attia to get his bearings or breathe without swallowing doses of briny water.
The heaving ocean leaves the landlubbers aboard the 71-ton escort boat staggering to keep their footing. A few have become sick.
At one point, Attia drifts more than 50 yards off-course and nearly out of view. A blast from the Bottom Scratcher's horn helps bring him back in line.
Veteran water man Don Van Cleve has taken over the escort kayak, and he struggles to keep upright. He navigates with freezing hands while juggling the small plastic bottles that deliver nutrients to Attia every 15 minutes.
Attia begins to feel nauseated from gulping saltwater and suffers dry heaves that do nothing to relieve his rolling stomach. Nevertheless, he presses ahead.
A gray dawn at 6 a.m. finds him a little more than halfway to Point Vicente. His stroke has slowed from its starting point of 48 pulls per minute and his legs are splayed slightly — sure signs of fatigue.
So far, I have spent nearly nine hours aboard as the passive observer. And as I stumble from below deck (where I spent a fitful hour of near-sleep), I plan to take up my notebook again.
Instead, a smiling Jill Attia rushes toward the back of the Bottom Scratcher.
"Jim, Jim," she calls to me, "Peter needs you!"
Had I promised to keep watch? Or heat a pot of coffee? With a jolt of euphoria and dread, I remember: I am getting in the water. I had promised to offer Attia a morale boost, while also providing myself some clue of what it really means to swim in the open ocean.
I pull on a wetsuit and fins (strictly forbidden by the channel federation's bylaws for competitors) to make sure I won't slow Attia down. My silent oath to the doctor: "I will do no harm."
Diving from the boat's fantail, I find even a hazy morning sun has enough wattage to restore a deep, royal blue to an ocean that here is close to 2,700 feet deep. Embraced by the brilliant color and the relative warmth, my dark fantasies of great white shark attacks slip away.
I churn ahead and fall in line next to Attia and the kayak. All seems right with the world as I breathe on the left, keeping an eye on my partner and trying to match his easy stroke.
But then I turn right for the first time and see a flash of white belly — too big, too fast and way too close. I look again.
A dolphin, one of at least half a dozen, appears to be eyeballing the ungainly creatures struggling through its neighborhood. Three more dolphins appear on our right, one atop the other just 20 feet below, then peel away like silvery jets breaking from formation.
For at least 10 minutes, the dolphins speed beneath and beside us. When Attia pauses for his next feeding, he smiles. "They're putting on quite a show for us."
A little more than an hour and a couple of miles later, my time in the water is nearing an end as another swimmer comes out to take my place.
Floating on my back as Attia slurps calories, I'm already beginning to miss the dog-whistle piping of the dolphins and the near weightlessness offered by the salty waves.
Accustomed to wearing the journalist's veil of impartiality — at once necessary and stifling — I have been liberated this time to join in. The world seems somehow larger. And my brief rotation beside Attia has given me a glimpse of the inchoate blend of anxiety and elation that drives someone as they swim across the ocean.
The crowd on the Bottom Scratcher is increasingly ebullient, but on the water, Attia's stroke rate has dropped a little more and his lower lip and jaw chatter from the cold when he tries to speak. He flexes his fingers to bring blood to his stiffening hands.
Then, as the rust and chalk-colored cliffs of Palos Verdes loom larger, the tiring swimmer begins cranking his arms more rapidly.
His parents, Eid and Sonia, Egyptian immigrants, have always viewed their oldest son as something of a marvel. They struggled with worry overnight and replaced sleep with prayer.
"I told Peter that if God held the world, he will be holding you too on the water," Sonia Attia says from the deck. "That gave me some comfort."
So close to home, Attia is approaching another potential hurdle. Channel swimmers have come within shouting distance of Palos Verdes before, only to be swept south for a mile or more by the swift current running down the coast. But on this day, the swift waters never appear. Even a mass of jellyfish that emerges near the beach can offer little resistance, as Attia cuts through the brilliant purple minefield unscathed.
When he is half a mile from shore, the clouds open for the first time all morning, uncorking an astounding burst of sunshine to light Attia's way.
He had planned a swim of about 12 hours, but instead has been in for 10 1/2 .
"I was amazed," Attia said later. "I didn't feel like I had been in the water long enough to reach land."
He strokes evenly the rest of the way, pausing briefly to gather himself, then scrambles ashore across slippery boulders. The Catalina federation counts only swims that go from dry land to dry land, and Attia has met the final requirement.
Elliott, the skipper, orders several blasts from his boat's horn. Jill Attia lets out a whoop and her eyes well with tears. Then the skipper breaks out the bagpipes he carries on every trip and a jaunty "Scotland the Brave" rings across the water.
Less than 24 hours later, Attia will be back on call at the hospital on the other end of the country. But for this moment, he is lord of the Catalina Channel.
"For whatever reason, the ocean was crossable," he says. "The channel just tolerated me today."

KEIZER, Or. - The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes are proud to announce its acceptance as a Commemorative Partner of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. The Volcanoes' 7th Annual Patriotic celebration is headlined on Friday, July 4, 2014 with Vietnam Veterans Night at Volcanoes Stadium.
The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes' initial patriotic celebration was on July 4, 2008, and has since grown into a three-day annual event celebrating the many cross-sections of our military heroes, and has boomed with success. During these tributes, the Volcanoes have Thanked, Honored, and Saluted more than 300 military men and woman spanning from World War II to the Middle East conflicts. Great anticipation surrounds the next chapter of the Tribute spanning the Independence Day weekend of Friday, July 4th to Sunday, July 6th.
In 2013, Volcanoes Stadium hosted a special ceremony for "Fallen Navy SEAL" Tyrone Woods of Oregon City, who was killed in combat defending America's diplomatic outpost in Benghazi. At the time of the formal ceremony, there were 143 military personnel on the field including representatives from Washington D.C..
Jerry Howard, Volcanoes' Senior Marketing Representative, whom organizes this yearly event, expressed his appreciation for the Volcanoes' selection: "The Volcanoes are extremely excited with regard to being selected by The Office of the Secretary of Defense to be an official Vietnam War 50-Year Commemoration Partner" and site. We have many brave and courageous Vietnam War Veterans in Oregon and Southwest Washington who we will invite to join us on July 4th, 2014, so we may properly Thank, Honor and Salute them for their service to our country. They are truly American Heroes."
The Volcanoes were awarded this honor as a part of the franchise's willingness to assist and support a grateful nation in thanking and honoring our Vietnam War Veterans and their families.
In preparation for the 2014 Patriotic Tribute, the Volcanoes have selected an 18-member committee of Vietnam Veterans to plan the event at Volcanoes Stadium. If you know of any Vietnam Veterans who deserve recognition during the special celebration, nominations can be made to the committee by contacting Jerry Howard. He can be reached at Volcanoes Stadium at 503-779-4088 or via email at email@example.com.

Nardo di Cione
Nardo di Cione (died c. 1366), was an Italian painter, sculptor and architect from Florence. He was the brother of the more accomplished Andrea di Cione, called Orcagna, as well as Jacopo di Cione; they were important members of the Painter's Guild of Florence. While Orcagna has been noted as the more accomplished artist, Nardo developed his own unique style, described as "a pronounced lyrical vein, a feeling for poetic values, strong human sympathies and great sensitivity to colour as a means of subtle differentiation and soft modeling."[1]
The di Cione brothers collaborated on a number of works from their studio together, including the decorations from the Cappella Strozzi in Santa Maria Novella. While Orcagna painted the altarpiece, Nardo executed the frescoes of The Last Judgment, Paradise and Hell.
Of Nardo's independently attributed works is his, Crucifixion, a central panel of a tabernacle. In the predella of the piece are depictions of Saints Jerome, James the Less, Saint Paul, James the Great and Saint Peter the Martyr. The work is of unknown origin, but was acquired from the Accademia in Florence and now in the Uffizi Gallery.
There is also Nardo's Standing Madonna with Child, executed sometime in the 1350s. This piece has been noted of works created in Florence after the ravages of the bubonic plague of 1348, where religious art was commissioned in order to bring spiritual relief to the survivors.[2] This Standing Madonna is very similar to the surviving work of Nardo's smaller devotional pieces for the home, one of which is housed in the National Gallery of Art, Madonna and Child with Saints Peter and John the Evangelist.[3]

If you've ever read a post on FinchSells.com, you will know that I am passionate about future-proofing my affiliate business. It's no good to make money today.

Whether you are a newbie marketer, an intermediate, or an expert with years of experience, I can bet that you've felt that same sense of insecurity. Do you
know where your money is going to be coming from 10 years from now?
Running a business from home whilst wading around in your slacks is a pleasure, but it doesn't come without the nagging fear of losing it all.
The world of Internet Marketing could change in a heartbeat, and in 2012, it usually does. The most successful affiliates are aware of this equation. They fight tooth and nail to stay ahead of the curve by adopting what I like to call The Empire Strategy.
The Empire Strategy is a sweeping mindset/philosophy that will give you the tools and knowledge to run a successful online business now,
in the future.
In this volume, you will see how the affiliate marketing industry has changed, why it has changed, and what we can do to thrive rather than survive in a fiercely competitive space.
The affiliate 'boom' of 2009 has come and gone. Many view this industry in a state of irreparable decline. They are wrong. The game has simply changed. And if you want to succeed as an affiliate, you must too.
Included in this volume:
How to setup your business plan, and why it's essential to affiliate marketing
How to develop lucrative assets that stand the test of time
How to build an unstoppable affiliate brand (many times over)
How to acquire a portfolio of high-profit websites
How to gain a reputation that has opportunity knocking on your door
An overview of every major traffic source I work with, with notes on getting started
How to hold yourself accountable for success
How to nail the endless cycles of harmful procrastination
How to dominate international markets using the local lingo
How to build a landing page worth $467 Million, with a little help from Jesse Willms
How to find happiness in this madness we call a day job
Plus all the latest developments from the affiliasphere as we head in to 2013
The Empire Strategy condenses my business plan for the future in to 150 pages of relentless insights, work-lifestyle tips and marketing nuggets. And a good helping of my balls.
If Volumes 1-6 of Premium Posts dissected the many ways to make money online, this final volume is the glue that holds it all together.
At over 30,000 words, spread across 7 'posts', The Empire Strategy is the most comprehensive addition to the series yet. It is also by far the most important.
These posts are designed to slap you to your senses.
They are everything I am basing my business on
and in the future.

Critical Review by Times Literary Supplement
SOURCE: "Huxley's Elasticity," in Aldous Huxley: The Critical Heritage, edited by Donald Watt, 1975, pp. 104-05.
In the following review of Little Mexican, originally published in the Times Literary Supplement in 1924, the critic praises the "elasticity" in Huxley's work, admiring what others might criticize as disproportionate description and indulgence of literary power.
About Mr. Aldous Huxley there is an elasticity that keeps his work interesting and even exciting. His last novel, Antic Hay, was as rigidly constructed and tightly compacted as a novel could well be: technically (we are speaking only of technique), a firm piece of carpentry. The book of fiction before that was Mortal Coils, in which he was so consciously literary that nearly every one of the stories was offered as an exercise in method. Now comes another...

Planting the seed — MSPB invests more than 80 percent of budget in research
For soybean farmers, 2014 is shaping up to be another solid year as they look to repeat the success they saw in 2013. However, challenges abound, so farmers are again banking on Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board (MSPB)-funded research to boost their yield this year and for years to come.
The MSPB seems willing to give — generously.
Just this month, MSPB announced it was allocating nearly $2.5 million for soybean research in an effort to keep qualified soybean specialists in the field. That figure represents more than 80 percent of the Board's entire budget.
"MSPB members take great pride in funding a strong soybean research program that will have the maximum effect on the bottom line of Mississippi soybean farmers," says Jan de Regt, a Hollandale-based soybean farmer who is in his second year of a two-year term as MSPB chairman. "There are many common, recurring issues that farmers face, and we're helping farmers manage them."
MSPB isn't just throwing money at issues, but are looking to fund research into specific problems faced by soybean growers. For instance, funding was earmarked for irrigation research as aquifers decline. Other efforts include disease management and the study of herbicide-resistant weeds such as Palmer amaranth and marestail, which can cause significant yield loss.
The research investment was just the most recent effort by the MSPB, which has been busy of late. Last month, the Board sponsored a series of irrigation meetings to educate farmers about the technology available to decrease irrigation costs and increase efficiency. At the meetings, Mississippi State University Extension Service irrigation specialist Jason Krutz, Ph.D., explained the benefits of using the PHAUCET program and various irrigation instruments, like soil moisture sensors and surge valves. Additionally he shared results from several RISER (Row Crop Irrigation Science Extension and Research) projects.
Last December, the MSPB released a new video highlighting the career opportunities in agriculture to high school students.
"MSPB goes through a process annually to identify problems or needs of the soybean industry in Mississippi," said Jimmy Sneed, soybean farmer from Hernando and MSPB board member. "One of the most common needs identified by all sectors was the lack of talent and manpower to fill positions in the soybean industry. We hope this video encourages more students to think about careers in agriculture and fill that need both in Mississippi and nationwide."
In September 2013, MSPB awarded the Blaine Doctoral Fellowship to Tessie Wilkerson, a Ph.D. candidate at Mississippi State University, who plans to study the incidence of charcoal rot in soybeans and possible solutions to the disease.
This year's research allocation included funding for yet another doctorate fellowship. The new Ed Hester Soybean Doctoral Fellowship was established in memory of the former Benoit soybean farmer and past president of the Mississippi Soybean Association.
"Ed was an innovative producer and supporter of new technology," says Larry Heatherly, MSPB research and technology transfer coordinator. "I could call him at any time and discuss how we could direct our efforts to solving production problems that soybean farmers faced. I am proud to be associated with the MSPB during the time that they honor his memory."
MSPB is hoping all of this funding will spur what is looking to be a great year for soybeans. Soybeans will be the state's major crop with 2.15 million acres. The commodity has had two strong years, averaging a record 45 bushels per acre in 2012 and 2013. Enjoying a strong market last year, prices are even higher going into 2014.
Soybeans continued their reign in 2013 as the state's biggest row crop, posting an estimated value of $993 million. However, that was off more than 20 percent compared to 2012. And there is some concern about potentially strong crops in Brazil and Argentina that could have a negative impact on the market.
So, MSPB's role in elevating the soybean industry is only heightened. The Board is made up of 12 farmer-directors who oversee the investments of the soy checkoff on behalf of all Mississippi soybean farmers. These volunteers work to increase soybean farmer profitability by investing checkoff dollars in ongoing public research and extension programs that address Mississippi production challenges, thereby driving the adoption of best management practices developed through research and ensuring the sustainability of Mississippi soybean production.
The soy checkoff is supported entirely by soybean farmers with individual contributions of 0.5 percent of the market price per bushel sold each season. Fifty percent of contributions collected in Mississippi remain in the state. The Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board invests these funds in research, promotion and education to improve the profitability of soybean production on behalf of all Mississippi producers.
The remaining 50 percent of funds are sent to the national soy checkoff, directed by the United Soybean Board. Composed of 69 volunteer farmer-leaders, USB invests soy checkoff funding to conduct research and drive demand for U.S. soybeans.

The Halloween festivities officially started in our house this weekend with a trunk-or-treat. My kid came home with pounds of candy. And who is going to eat all this candy? Probably me. I have already ravaged all the Snickers. They didn't have a chance. Watch out Twix bars, because you're next. Seriously, all of that sugar is not good for anyone. As parents, what can we do with all this candy?

An Oklahoma biscuit is a large, grotesque, venereal wart covering the entire head of a penis. Not to confused with a Pennsylvania ridge line
