Lynam, Kuna VFW Post 7019
As the United States entered WWII in the Pacific, a major concern was the protection of the west coast and the various cities in which important war industries were located. Also there was a very large civilian population that was relatively unprotected from air or sea borne attack. There were radar installations, antiaircraft batteries and military bases that could launch air and naval counterattacks, but firm plans had yet to materialize that would protect us if we were to actually be attacked or even worse, invaded. You can imagine the panic that the following caused, a real shooting war over Los Angeles!
During the nights of February 24-25, 1942, unidentified objects in the sky caused a succession of alerts in southern California. A warning issued by naval intelligence said that an attack was imminent within a few hours. There were many sightings of flares and blinking lights in the vicinity of several defense plants. Radar picked up an unidentified target 120 miles west of Los Angeles and anti-aircraft batteries were alerted. The radar tracked the target to within a few miles of the coast, and the regional controller ordered a total blackout. A balloon carrying a red flare was seen over Santa Monica and four batteries of antiaircraft artillery opened fire and the sky over Los Angeles erupted like a volcano.
Much confusion ensued. Anti-aircraft shell bursts caught in the searchlights were mistaken for enemy planes and the next three hours produced some of the most imaginative reporting of the war. Swarms of aircraft (or balloons) of all sizes and descriptions flying at extreme altitudes and unheard of speeds were reported. It was even reported that bombs had been dropped. Our anti-aircraft batteries fired over 1,440 rounds of ammunition without one single hit.
The dawn ended the shooting and the fantasy. The only damage to the city was a few traffic accidents, one heart attack, and shell fragments from the artillery.
There were several theories involving possible enemy aircraft launched from offshore beyond our radar blanket or aircraft launched from locations in Canada or Mexico. Another theory was that the aircraft were launched from a secret enemy base within California. At one time it was even suggested that it was a practice raid designed to alert our nation to the possibilities of invasion. However when all was said and done, it remains a fact that the "Battle of Los Angeles" was one of the most witnessed UFOs on the books.

Hey guys.
I'm looking at getting back into bicycling after a long time off (like 20 years). Last bike I had was a Motobecane Grand Tour (when they were still French bikes) from the 70's. Great bike.
Anyways, things have changed in a big way in bicycling. There are more options to choose from than I could ever imagine way back when. Heck, what's so complicated about a frame, two wheels, a set of handlebars, some gears and a chain?
Apparently quite a bit.
Ah well. I've been poking around Craigslist (no joy, a few scams), ebay, this site (love the FAQ, perfect for this fat boy - skeerin' the heck out of 300 lbs). Stepping onto the scale at the doctor's office the other day scared the heck out of me. I'm a prime candidate for a heart attack in my 50's, and I'm 43 now. I'd like to get another 20 years if I can. Preferably 30 years. Ya know what I mean?
I'm glad I found this forum. There are plenty of resources for skinny kids that road race carbon fiber speed bikes, but for painfully slow old guys? Not many.
I've pretty much chucked the idea of buying used at this point. Right now I'm leaning towards a hybrid bike outfitted w/ baskets that I can use to peddle to the grocers, work and around town. I don't see myself riding for distances greater than 10-12 miles at a stretch for a while.
Eventually (if I get into it and enjoy it as much as I used to like riding a bike when I was a kid) I might get a decent frame and build a good road bike. While that seems a bit expensive it sure looks less expensive than buying a nice one outright from a bike shop.
I found a bike that looks interesting and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the manufacturer? The bike is a Redline R510. If you check out the URL, it's the bike pictured in the lower right hand side of the frame. The bike shop wants $340 and they'll set it up for me. I don't know if that's a decent deal or not (quality of the components, etc).
I've looked online and from what I can see Redline made its name in dirt bikes and has relatively recently expanded into street/hybrid bikes. There are plenty of good reviews of their bmx/motocross bikes, but I can't seem to find any reviews of their street/hybrid products.
So I thought I'd ask in here.
If y'all think I can do better for less than $400, I'm all ears.
Anyways......great forum. I loved the "before & after" photo section. Y'all are enough to give a guy some hope, ya know?

Vetting LinkedIn Invites
The other day, my father called me with a pressing question. "I got this invite on LikedIn. I don't think I know the person. Should I do anything?" This reinforces that I'm not the only person who gets invites that make me scratch my head and wonder who this person is, and should I accept the invitation to connect. Here's some of my advice and justifications for why I add people I don't know, and why I don't add others.
LinkedIn is an interesting social network. Of its vast user base, I am sure few use it to its full potential. I am certainly one of those people who should do more to fill out the profile and use those connections for my daily work. I see LinkedIn as an online resume, and it benefits you to fill in information about your background. However, my focus here is on building your network.
My network is a bit diverse. As a journalist, I cover technology, internet, advertising, consumer electronics, video games, fitness gear and a lot more. Many of my connections are public relations and marketing people, other journalists and coworkers from over the years. So I've been wondering, for quite some time, (and have left the invite in my inbox just to keep the curiosity going), why a fireman from Orange County who has no connection to me, whatsoever, sent me an invitation to join his network. I've also wondered why people from developing countries or people with other backgrounds send me invites. That's why I started vetting my LinkedIn invites.
When I get an email notification from LinkedIn, the first thing I do is look at it to make sure it's really from LinkedIn. Spam that looks like it's from the social networking site is on the rise. I quickly spot those by seeing that the email address and/or links are something other than "linkedin.com." That's an easy spot and I can quickly delete those emails and move on to the next item in my inbox.
Next I click on the person's name or "view profile" instead of "accept." I quickly look at the profile and focus on two bits of information. I'll look at the current information and past companies they've worked for to try to determine where I know the person. I also look at the breadcrumb trail of connections in common: "How You're Connected." This is located in the right hand column and usually pushed down toward the middle of the profile. This tells me how many people removed I am from a connection. It also helps me figure out the circle I can fit them in, since I dabble in a few different industries. Very often, you'll find it is someone you know, but maybe it's been a while since you shook hands or sat at adjoining cubicles and needed a little reminder.
Once you've grown your profile, you can use LinkedIn for many purposes. I often use the network to find sources for articles I'm working on. But there are many practical uses for you, as well. If it's someone you've worked with, it could be someone who could actively, (or passively) just by being connected in your profile, be a reference for a job you're applying for. The person might also be able to refer potential employees if you're ever looking to fill a position.
There's a larger referral base to consider as well. This connection might work to connect you to a vendor for services you might require.
For the most part, it doesn't hurt to accept most invitations. There are a small number of people who try to link up with just about anybody. You don't need those connections. However, most people that go through the trouble to send you an invite did so because there is some connection, even if it's not an actual handshake. It could mean business or a new job down the line.

Celebrity Apprentice: Tiffany, You're Fired!
January 03, 2008 10:16 PM by Jennifer_Brown
Man, is it ever exciting to be back in New York again. Back to the opulent Trump Tower. Back to the drama and tension as bright business wannabes push themselves past their limits. Back to Donald Trump's awe-inspiring assortment of shiny ties (tonight's was hot pink).
We're talking the season premiere of Celebrity Apprentice, as a parade of celebs take on The Donald's challenges, each hoping to grab the big prize: this time not the coveted "You're hired," but a fat check to go to their charity of choice.
The Donald gathers the contestants at the New York Mercantile Exchange, and announces to them that they will be split into two teams: boys vs. girls. We have:
Team Empresario (which means "mogul"), consisting of:
Playboy Playmate, Tiffany Fallon
Marilou Henner, of Taxi fame
Olympian, Nadia Comaneci
Jennie Finch, Olympic softball player (and go-o-orgeous!)
Entrepreneur, Nely Galan
Supermodel, Carol Alt
Omarosa (or as competitor Vincent Pastore calls her, "Ponderosa"), controversial (read, "completely and totally disliked by everyone") contestant from Apprentice season 1.
Team Hydra (some sort of 7-headed immortal dog guarding the gates of hell…hey, you let Gene Simmons pick your name and this is what you get, guys…), consisting of:
Boxer, Lennox Lewis
Ultimate Fighter, Tito Ortiz (who gets the Hey-I-Wanna-Rub-His-Head award)
Trace Adkins, country music legend
Piers Morgan (AKA: That Mean Guy that Ticks Off Sharon Osbourne on America's Got Talent)
KISS star, Gene Simmons
Stephen Baldwin
Thevociferous Vincent Pastore
Omarosa wastes no time in volunteering to be Project Manager for the first challenge; Stephen Baldwin steps up for Team Hydra. The first challenge will be selling hot dogs via New York City hot dog stand.
Right away we can see who are going to be our troublemakers and loudmouths. Vincent Pastore is determined to call it how he sees it (which is usually pretty offensively), and Piers proves himself to basically be Vincent with a British accent. Omarosa acts like…Omarosa, which doesn't set well with a couple of the ladies. "I just don't work well with people that are condescending and abrasive," Tiffany complains.
And then there are the go-getters. While the boys (Piers & Vincent) fight it out over how much to charge for a hot dog (Piers thinks $100 should about do it), Gene Simmons hops on his cell and calls in favors from his rich and powerful friends. Later, during the challenge, when the ladies fear they're not selling enough, Marilou ignores Omarosa's decision not to ride on their celebrity status and slips away to call in a favor or two herself. Before we know it, celebrity "friends" are paying $5,000 for a hot dog!
After the challenge, the teams gather in the board room to hear how they did. Donald Jr. announces that the girls sold $17,038 worth of hot dogs. Not too shabby! But Ivanka reveals that the boys sold $52,286 worth!
Donald asks some provocative questions and Piers takes the opportunity to throw down, calling Omarosa "trouble," and saying she's Team Empresario's weak link.
But Omarosa has something to say about that, pointing the finger instead at Tiffany, who Omarosa feels didn't sell to her full potential. She also singles out Carol, resident New Yorker, who the team had looked to forlocation decisions(Donald criticizes their location choice).
Good news for the guys — as Project Manager, Stephen will receive the combined earnings of the challenge ($69,324) to give to his charity (the Carolyn Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund). What's more, they will be able to watch the girls' board room fun from a television monitor in their room while they sip their celebratory champagne (The Donald always did know how to add insult to injury).
In the end it's Omarosa, Tiffany, and Carol in the board room with their heads on the chopping block. The bickering between Omarosa and Carol is fierce, while Tiffany sits placidly by, looking a little scared.
Donald decides that what he's most disappointed in during this challenge was that Tiffany didn't call in her "connection" (and Donald's good friend) Hugh Heffner. Tiffany tries to explain that she was saving that connection for a bigger challenge, but Donald's not biting.
"Tiffany," he says, "You're fired."
Upstairs, in the guys' room, Gene Simmons mutters, "Omarosa's a survivor like a cockroach."
In the cab, Tiffany says, "It's incredibly disappointing and frustrating to be the first one fired."
Donald feels she was the nicest player, but in business, unfortunately, that's the way it usually works: the nice guy finishes last.
Next on Celebrity Apprentice:
Gene Simmons insults Ivanka.

A letter from Stephen and Brenda Stelle in Ethiopia
Spring 2014
Upon leaving the Gambella airport we were greeted by baboons and bumpy roads as we made our way up the long and winding road to Dembi Dollo. However, this initial welcome was nothing compared to the wonderful reception we received from the entire church community in Dembi Dollo.
Amanuel, Brenda's principal at Bethel Evangelical Secondary School (BESS) was our gracious host during our six-day visit. He and his staff introduced us to the school, along with Gidada Theological College, the two local Mekane Yesus churches, and the town. Here Brenda learned she will teach English to the 11th and 12th graders this fall, saw her classrooms, and even received her textbooks so she can begin planning for the school year. In chapel on Monday Brenda introduced herself (using Afaan Oromo language) to the students; she made a few mistakes (she accidentally introduced Steve as her wife—everybody laughed), but overall the students and the faculty were excited at the prospect of having a native English speaker join the staff.
On Saturday we spent an afternoon at Gidada Theological College. Gizawu (Steve's dean) gave us a tour of the campus, which included a well-stocked library with books from Princeton Seminary, Steve's alma mater. Steve will teach three courses in the fall semester—Introduction to the Old Testament, Genesis, and the Psalms—to Diploma 1, 2, and 3 students.
On both Good Friday and Easter Sunday we worshiped in the brand-new Dhanqa (pronounced danka) Church. This congregation traces its roots to Dr. Thomas Lambie, the first Presbyterian and American missionary to Ethiopia. The Good Friday service included the reception of their confirmation class, a group of 60 teenagers. On Easter Steve introduced us (in the Oromo language) to the congregation. After both services the pastors and elders of the church welcomed us and invited us to join them for tea. What a blessing! We met the church community and many of its leaders.
The evening before our departure, Kes Chali (the President of the Synod) hosted us for an afternoon and dinner on the Synod compound. There we met with Synod leaders and learned of their evangelistic outreach plan to further share the gospel of Jesus with unbelievers. They are excited to once again have Presbyterian missionaries teaching at BESS and Gidada and consider our arrival this fall as an answer to their prayers. Brenda met two pastors' wives who were starting a work project of making and selling soap to empower and help women in poverty.
Throughout these first few months we have found there are times that suddenly it just strikes us that we now live in Africa. We, just like everybody else, usually just go about our normal work and day-to-day activities. But then we see or experience something different, and we look at each other and say, usually with awe and amazement, "We live in Africa!"
We have decided we want to share a few of these with you, our dear friends and supporters.
For the weekend we stayed in the house where we will be living for the next three years. On the first morning we woke up to discover the mango trees in our front yard were full of monkeys. There had to have been 10 or more of them, climbing all over, swinging from branch to branch, grabbing mangoes and throwing them at each other and on the ground. Brenda said to Steve, "It's like living in a zoo!" And we looked at each other, and jointly exclaimed in amazement, "We live in Africa!"
1. Please keep the students at BESS and the Gidada Theological College in your prayers as they finish this school year.
2. Also please continue your prayers for us as we continue our study of the Oromo language and as we begin preparing our course lessons for the fall.
Once again we thank you for your prayer and financial support of our ministry in Ethiopia. If you would like to contribute financially to our support, gifts can be sent to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)—be sure to include our account number D507574 for congregations or number E200507 for individuals (or use the "Give" link below). We are excited that in a few months we will begin sharing our knowledge of English and Scripture with our students. We praise God for our partnership with you in God's work in Ethiopia.
In Christ's service,
Rev. Steve & Brenda Stelle

text: 'My wife cut off my penis' 26 Jun 2013 This week marks 20 years since former US Marine John-Wayne Bobbitt had his penis cut off by his wife while he was sleeping, and he has been speaking to This Morning about his ordeal. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Around the globe people were shocked to hear the details of how John woke up to unimaginable pain, as his now ex-wife Lorena sliced a steel 8 inch knife through his penis following an argument when he came home from a night out with a friend.Speaking to This Morning via video link from New York, John recalled the events which led to the frightful incident. "There are a lot of things that led up to what happened, but basically I didn't want to be married," he told Phillip and Holly."I was tired of the fighting, the arguing, the abuse and I told Lorena that I wanted a divorce - I think she got kinda mad about that."I came home from a night out with my friend and I really didn't know what was going on. I remember Lorena sitting on my side saying 'you hurt my feelings'."She asked me 'John, are you happy?' and I didn't respond to that because I was so tired and I just fell asleep and the next thing I know is I'm sitting up in a pool of blood."It transpired that Lorena had fled the scene with the severed penis, leaving John in a pool of blood and 20 minutes from death.He described waking up to that situation as a 'horrifying experience'.Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.John-Wayne Bobbitt"It was kind of like waking up to a Freddy Krueger kind of thing. It was a frightening, life or death situation."But I got to the hospital within 10 minutes and was able to survive."It was soon discovered that Lorena had thrown the severed penis from her car and it was found in a field by the emergency services.They were able to pack it on ice and bring it to the hospital were a reattachment surgery was quickly carried out.Despite the traumatic ordeal John was pleased to discover that his penis had been reattached successfully and he had full working function.But John's road to recovery has been anything but smooth; he became a porn star, married twice more and was arrested a number of times for assaulting women.However he said he has now finally found God and changed his ways, and is currently writing a book about his life."I definitely think I had a problem with being a good judge of character and I didn't exercise a lot of good choices. It's been a big learning experience for me in how to make better choices now," he said."I'm a little more cautious now about who I get involved with and who I associate with as friends." © UTV Share Share Share

Boston College Defeats Wake Forest, 6-1, to Claim Series
April 28, 2012
Final Stats | Final Stats (PDF) | Season Stats (PDF)
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Boston College defeated Wake Forest 6-1 in Game 2 to capture the series on Saturday afternoon at Shea Field.
The loss drops the Demon Deacons to 26-18 overall and 9-14 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while the Eagles are now 18-26, 8-15 ACC.
For the second straight day, the Boston College pitching staff held the Wake Forest offense in check, allowing just one run and six hits without surrendering a walk. Eric Stevens started and got the win by pitching 6.1 innings, scattering four hits and striking out five. John Gorman earned the save by pitching scoreless eighth and ninth innings.
The Eagles pitching staff also retired the Deacons in order five times and faced the minimum in six of the nine innings.
Jack Fischer started for Wake Forest and turned in a solid performance, going a career-best 6.0 innings and allowing four earned runs. Fischer gave up seven hits, struck out two and walked two in the loss to fall to 3-4.
No Wake Forest batter turned in a multi-hit day, as Conor Keniry, Carlos Lopez, Charlie Morgan, Brett Armour, Grant Shambley and Evan Stephens all had one hit apiece.
Boston College went up 1-0 with a run in the bottom of the second, but Wake Forest responded with its first run of the series to tie the game in the top of the third.
Mark Rhine led off the inning by getting hit by a pitch and advanced to second on a failed pickoff attempt by Stevens. Stephens then reached on a bunt single to advance Rhine to third and put runners on the corners.
Pat Blair drove in the only run of the game in the next at bat after hitting a sacrifice fly to right field to score Rhine.
That was the last threat for the Demon Deacons until the seventh inning, as Stevens retired all nine batters he faced in the fourth through sixth innings.
Down 4-1 in the top of the seventh, Wake Forest put together three consecutive single to load the bases, but reliever Nate Bayuk induced an inning-ending double play to get BC out of the jam.
Wake Forest and Boston College will wrap up the series tomorrow at 12 p.m. at Shea Field.

PHILADELPHIA -- George Washington's slaves slept here - right on the site of the new home planned for the Liberty Bell. And that disclosure has kindled a passionate debate over how to commemorate the existence of bondage alongside one of the nation's most enduring symbols of freedom.
This uncomfortable juxtaposition was first divulged in the winter issue of The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography in a lengthy article by Edward Lawler Jr., a musician, writer and part-time historian. The entrance to the National Park Service's new Liberty Bell Center, he wrote, is partly on the location of the downtown house that served as the country's first executive mansion. And when Washington lived there, he kept slaves.
The revelation has prompted newspaper articles, op-ed page essays, talk-show discussion and e-mails, many of which have accused the Park Service of covering up an embarrassing element of the history of the "Philadelphia White House."
Suggestions on what should be done have ranged from halting construction so archaeologists can dig for slave artifacts to adding substantial interpretive exhibits on slavery and freedom to the new football field-length pavilion.
"For the Park Service to plan on using the slave quarters as nothing more than a doormat to the Liberty Bell pavilion is not just insensitive, but downright obscene," wrote Phil Lapansky, a research librarian, in one of dozens of critical e-mails posted on the Web site of Independence Hall Association, a private local historical group. "Blacks held in bondage across the street from the Constitutional Convention by this nation's first president deserve better."
A public restroom now occupies the site of the President's House, which is marked by a 3 1/2 -by-4 1/2 -foot plaque. The plaque notes that first Washington and then John Adams resided there during the decade when this city was the temporary capital. It makes no reference to Washington keeping slaves there.
Inside the visitors center at Independence Hall National Park, a display on the Liberty Bell says that the famed 251-year-old artifact's name was coined by anti-slavery groups in the early 19th century, who used it as a symbol of their cause. The display does not mention that slaves were once kept on the grounds.
The Park Service - which is building the Liberty Bell Center as part of a $300 million makeover that includes a new National Constitution Center scheduled to open next year - has rejected as unlikely to be productive the proposal to excavate the site. The agency has also spurned as potentially too confusing for visitors the suggestion of having the floor plan of the building that served as the president's house from 1790 to 1800 marked in pavement.
But the Park Service, which initially intended to identify the site of the house with a sidewalk marker and plaque similar to what now exists, has altered its plans in response to the outcries from historians and others.
Preliminary plans now call for one of 10 exhibits inside the new center to focus on the institution of slavery as well as the Liberty Bell's importance to the anti-slavery movements. Plans also call for the site of the house to be marked by several outdoor "wayside" exhibits that could include information that Washington brought several slaves with him from his home in Virginia during his tenure as the country's first president.
Park Service spokesman Phil Sheridan says the federal agency never intended to censor history by not highlighting the presence of Washington's slaves here. The issue was never raised during 4 1/2 years of public meetings on the park's redesign, Sheridan says, adding that it was only since a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer about Lawler's research that people began demanding that the presence of slaves be noted in the exhibit.
"People have picked up on the slavery issue," he says. "What many seem to want is slavery interpreted" at the site.
But Randall M. Miller, professor of history at St. Joseph's University, says that whatever is done needs to be more than "an offshoot or an aside" to serve as a reminder that freedom was something that was "always contested, contradictory, incomplete."
Miller says he would like visitors to have to confront those questions through a major display of documents and artifacts highlighting slavery before reaching the Liberty Bell.
Historians had been aware that Washington brought slaves with him from Virginia, Miller says, but the fact was "not part of the narrative" of Washington's time in Philadelphia until Lawler brought it to the fore.
"He revisited the ground in every sense," Miller says of Lawler.
Lawler, 43, began what became an exhaustive five-year research quest into the history of the house out of a sense of personal chagrin.
Giving a tour to out-of-town visitors, Lawler was able to point out Congress Hall, where the House and Senate met, and Old City Hall, which housed the Supreme Court, but was embarrassed that he didn't know where the executive mansion was.
Lawler's research led him to discover that Washington added quarters to the house that had been home to traitor Benedict Arnold and financier Robert Morris for his "Stablepeople" - slaves from Mount Vernon.
Washington had as many as eight slaves, two of whom escaped during his tenure as president, among his staff of 24 servants, according to Lawler. He got around a Pennsylvania law abolishing slavery by claiming that he was a resident of Virginia living in Philadelphia temporarily because it was the seat of government, Lawler wrote.
In 1832, the house was torn down except for a couple of side walls, which were demolished in 1951 to create Independence Mall.
Lawler shared his findings with the Park Service before his research was published, but "they appeared not to have an interest," he says.
He is among those who believe the footprint of the house should be marked in pavement - and not just to show the slave quarters but because of its rich history as the scene of major meetings and social events of the new republic.
"This was the executive mansion of the United States for 10 years," he says. "It was the White House of Washington and the first White House of Adams. It should be part of what is interpreted in the park."
Still, he is not surprised that the presence of slaves has become for many the most compelling part of the story of that house.
"It was last March when it really sunk in to me that people will be walking over the slave quarters as they approach the new quarters of the Liberty Bell," Lawler says. "Anyone who's told that will not forget. It's forever going to be part of that building."

The first ever Real-Time Strategy (RTS) machinima series will cease production by the end of the year but will have its story wrapped up in the process. Originally intended to be a three-season, thirteen-episode-per-season plus pilot serial, Age of Nations (AoN) will instead have one fourteen-episode season and three featurettes to its credit along with numerous specials including ongoing promos and commentaries. Complemented with some 'live action', AoN is set in the Rise of Nations environment. An RTS developed by Big Huge Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios, RoN was released in 2003 and prior to AoN no known machinima had even been attempted in it let alone published.
"Wrapping two whole seasons into just two episodes provides a rollercoaster ride of plot cruising at breakneck speed for viewers of [AoN", comments Co-Executive Producer DarkCloud. "Be prepared to watch stunning scenery, thrilling plot exposition, and chilling battle scenes as the series rockets to a startling close."
"I have enjoyed working on the series despite a couple of inherent problems, and it has aroused an interest in movies and videos", reflects Director Stan "stankarp" Karpinski. "As a result I am now studying movie making full-time with a view to making historical documentaries."
Series Creator/Producer Daniel "DanQ" Quick came to this decision following consultation with fellow AoN team several other interested staff members on Apolyton Civilization Site which owns, produces, markets and distributes the show. He readily cites a number of primary factors that has led to this moment including staffing availability and considerable production overhead; however, the number one and number two reasons on the list are lack of feedback from AoN's audience and the fact that the audience as measured itself remains too small.
"We knew it was going to be a slow start given the production obstacles to overcome, settling into the story arcs and marketing the unique nature of this endeavour", says Quick who is also ACS' Chief Owner/Administrator. "Machinima's presence in the strategy genre is minimal and despite our best efforts to change this at least within Apolyton's community, we have failed to do so after more than a year of ongoing attempts. With other demands and interests taking up my and fellow team members' time, we feel we must make this change."
The third AoN featurette, conceived and written by Co-Executive Producer Gordon "Illuminatus" Smith, will be a stand-alone production that follows a 'what if' scenario with characters in situations that could have been had the writers gone in a different direction. It is to be released in between the first and third featurette which will conclude the storyline which began with the series pilot released in December 2005. In addition to outstanding first season commentaries, Quick assures audience members that featurette commentaries and several other special productions will surface too though some may not be released until early 2008.
The official AoN website can be found at http://aon.apolyton.net.

We deliver great looking sites with user-friendly content management systems that search engines will love from day one.
AWESEM was founded by Olaf Spinkel in 2009. At first we concentrated on improving client site search engine rankings through search engine optimisation (SEO) but have gradually moved to become a web design and build WordPress agency offering ongoing support to our clients.
AWESEM is primarily an agency business but we also run a few of our own websites where we can practise what we preach and keep up to date with what it's like to be a client.
In addition to agency work and our own sites, AWESEM design and build WordPress themes. These are templates that can be used to form the basis of a website. Most of our work is sold on ThemeForest and you can view our portfolio here.
Having a strong background in affiliate marketing, AWESEM had been asked a number of times about creating a theme for comparison websites. About a year later in 2012, the first version of 'Compare' was launched along with a plug-in called 'Compare+'.
Our philosophy is divided into two ideals. The first is that a site owner should be able to manage their site within their own level of technical expertise, no matter what that level is. The second is that every site should be as friendly as possible to a search engine from launch.
We aspire to make every client a long term partner. By making sites that are easy to manage the conversations we are able to have are more about long term strategy than how to change an image or line of copy.
Finally, we practice what we preach. The chances are you found us through either a recommendation or a search engine. We rank highly for our top keywords, pay attention to the design of our website and make sure that we can change it easily.

Kay's Web
site includes a links page where you can get coupons online
in addition to regular manufacturer's coupons. Other sources for
local offers are www.smartsource.com, www.hotcoupons.com and www.valuepage.com.
If every year brings an increase in the premiums you pay, take action.
A former insurance broker, Kay offers these tips for cutting your insurance costs
Good: "Call your
insurance agent to find if you qualify for any discounts," says Kay. For
example, car insurance companies often offer discounts for nonsmokers, good drivers
-- even nondrinkers. If you keep your vehicle in a closed garage instead of a
carport or driveway, you might qualify for a discount. For a homeowner's or renter's
policy, you might get discounts for having an alarm system, smoke alarms and more.
Better: Get competitive quotes. "Most people don't," says Kay. "Especially
homeowners. It's tied up in escrow and paid through their mortgage payments and
it automatically renews every year." It's never too late to get competitive
bids on any insurance product.
Best: Increase your deductible, says Kay. Although this means you could pay more out
of pocket in the event of a car accident or fire in your home, you can save a
significant amount of money by not expecting the insurance company to cover every
small loss.
you could start chopping wood for the fireplace, but is that really the best way
to save on your fuel bills?
Good: Keep the thermostat set a little lower in winter or
a little higher in summer than usual. It won't take long for you
to get accustomed to the slight temperature change, and even a few
degrees' difference can mean money in the bank.
Better: Ask your energy company if it offers time-of-day
rates. By using less energy during peak hours, you can pay less
on your utility bill. This requires coordination with other family
members. Kay says her electric company installs devices on appliances
such as air conditioners that will switch off the unit during high-demand
times. By agreeing to have her air-conditioning unit switched off
if necessary, Kay gets a rebate of $50 per month on her utility
bill. "I've never noticed a difference," she says.
Shut-off timers for porch lights and water heaters can save
money on utilities, but require an upfront investment in the device. Check with
your local utility company regarding how much money this strategy could save.
Best: Go through a complete homeowner's checklist to make
sure your home is running at optimal utility efficiency, recommends
Kay. This means changing all filters regularly, ensuring you have
the right amount of insulation and caulking your windows.
When it's time to replace that washer or air conditioner, think
energy efficiency as well as initial price, says Kay.
Good: Before you buy any appliance, call the electric company
to see if it has rebates available for special models, says Kay.
It sometimes makes such offers to encourage you to buy an energy-efficient
Better: Take advantage of the Internet. Kay suggests going
to Google
Product Search to find great deals. "(You'll) find the
very best price on the make and model and style that you want,"
Kay says. "Once you've found the best price, print it out and
take it to a local vendor and ask them to match it."
Best: Buy barely used. "Some people upgrade their appliances like they do their
cars, a new one every year," says Kay. "I purchased a 1-year-old washer
and dryer for 50 percent off." It still had a warranty. For smaller appliances,
Kay suggests going to garage sales and swap meets. "You wouldn't believe
what you can buy from people who have been watching QVC a little too much,"
says Kay. And don't forget eBay, the online auction site, which is a great place
to get appliances. Make sure you're buying from a reputable known source that
has a good rating, Kay cautions.

Draft press conference notes: Round one
The 2012 June Free Agent Draft kicked off on Monday, and according to the prognosticators, it unfolded with some early surprises. The Royals owned the fifth pick and were ready for every scenario from the first pick to the fifth. In the end, the Royals got the player that they wanted in USF pitcher Kyle Zimmer.
General Manager Dayton Moore, Assistant General Manager-Scouting & Player Development J.J. Picollo and Director of Scouting Lonnie Goldberg participated in a press conference after the selection.
Goldberg was asked how soon Zimmer could reach the Majors. While Goldberg sees the talent to pitch right away, he says that Zimmer will need some seasoning and could be in the big leagues in two years.
Moore sees a player who is hungry to play, a top academic talent from an athletically gifted family, and a perfect fit for the organization.
Zimmer was reached by telephone after the press conference. When asked what it was like to be drafted, Zimmer said "speechless". He is excited and looking forward to making history as a Royal. He has never been to Kauffman Stadium, but he has seen games on TV and believes that it is a beautiful venue.
A former position player, Zimmer is very happy that he made the transition to pitching. He describes himself as a gritty competitor, dating to his days as a position player. He likes watching Matt Cain of the Giants and has been told that his approach resembles Josh Johnson of the Marlins. Goldberg also mentioned Matt Cain as a player that Zimmer resembles.
One additional note – a reporter asked about 2011 first-round pick Bubba Starling, who has been playing in extended spring training. Picollo said that a decision will be made this weekend on what team Starling will join with the extended spring schedule wrapping up.

Magnolia is one of the lighter hardwood flooring choices available. Its sapwood is creamy, almost white in color and its heartwood is light to dark brown. Purplish and greenish black streaks sometimes can be found streaking through the grain. Typically, the grain is straight, which means there aren't any curves, knots, or whorls that interrupt the wood grain.
You've seen pictures of magnolia trees before. They bear beautiful white flowers with purple accents in the spring and give a sweet, fragrant scent. The wood used from this tree offers similar beauty to any room where it is laid as hardwood flooring. Magnolia is the Southern Belle of flooring.
The southern states of the United States claim home to most magnolias and are found mostly in wetlands. The wood of this tree is often compared to that of yellow poplar.
Machining and drilling do not pose many challenges for magnolia wood flooring. It is an easy wood to manipulate with most tools and it sandy easily. Also, it has good stability with nailing and glues well. The wood is moderately heavy and must be dried thoroughly before installing.
This Southern Belle often is revered as the most beautiful native tree in the country and as a flooring option this remains the same. Being easy to work with makes magnolia an agreeable choice for hardwood flooring.

Been a while since I was last here, but I've gotten into contact with PbP D&D games, and since I can't find a new game which I can join I'm thinking about DMing one. Of course, that requires some groundwork on my part, which includes creating battlemaps.
I've been trying to find some tuts, and I can remember having seen one here one time.. Haven't found it yet, though.
Right, back to why I'm posting.
The story starts in the (crowded) marketplace, in the centre of a city that is suddenly attacked by a huge horde of orcs and goblins. The PCs will be forced to flee towards the docks, and charged with protecting an important city residant. At the docks the players will face another encounter before they can escape on the big ship.
NOTE: I have not done any research on ships, so those might be hugely out of proportion..And it's been a while since I've used PS, hence the lack of drop shadow in the marketplace image.. Will add that soon

This past Sunday, I went to my second Vicente Fernandez concert. As the rich sound of his voice and the mariachi washed over me, I had en epiphany of sorts.
Here I was a native Texan enjoying the music of my parents' country in the nation's capitol surrounded by thousands of Latinos singing at the top of their lungs. I felt so fortunate to be bicultural. It also occurred to me that we don't celebrate our biculturalism enough.
When reporters and TV pundits talk about Latinos in America, it's nearly always about immigration and whether or not we're assimilating. It's as if we have to reject one culture and accept the other. It's time we start pushing back against that false choice.
I was born and raised in the U.S. and have accepted American culture as my own. But I've also decided to hang on to fragments of my parents' culture. I really can't let go of them; they are part of me.
I love that Mexicans' lives revolve around family. And not just immediate family, but cousins (first, second and third), aunts, uncles, grandparents, in-laws, etc. If we have an identifiable relative in common, we're family.
There's so much to love about Mexican culture: the language, the food, the music, the holidays and customs. But I also love American culture. My life is a union of both. My family celebrates Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July. We also celebrate el Día de Reyes on January 6 (Epiphany) and 16 de septiembre. We celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May (U.S.) and May 10 (Mexico).
And then there's the music. I love music in Spanish and English. I love that I can feel equally at home at a Kanye West or Brad Paisley concert as I can at a concert by Julieta Venegas or Vicente Fernandez.
It fills me with pride to see my very young nieces and nephews growing up bicultural. A nephew who just last month turned 3 switches between English and Spanish constantly, and jams out with equal enthusiasm to Vicente and Pitbull.
We don't have to choose. We can immerse ourselves in our country's culture and hang on to our parents'. In the end, it gives us richer and fuller lives. We should embrace and celebrate that.
So following Vicente's lead, I say we toast being bicultural! Salud!

India Inc is expected to post a healthy 25.9 per cent growth in their profits in the third quarter on softening of input prices and lower forex losses, according to economic think-tank CMIE.
"We expect corporate profits to grow by a smart 25.9 per cent in the December quarter compared to the year-ago quarter," the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) said in its latest report on the domestic economy.
The improvement would be seen across segments, the report said, adding net profit of the manufacturing sector (excluding petroleum products) is likely to grow by a healthy 66.9 per cent and that of the financial and non-financial services sector by 16 per cent and 16.7 per cent, respectively.
The international prices of vegetable oil, natural rubber, cotton, coking coal, iron ore, copper concentrate are lower than their year-ago levels, it said.
"The input cost pressure for the manufacturing companies will ease substantially in the December 2012 quarter. Raw material expenses of the manufacturing sector (excluding petroleum products) are expected to rise by only 7.4 per cent," it said.
The agency expects corporates to see lower foreign exchange losses during the December quarter.
"The rupee is expected to depreciate by only 2.4 per cent as against 8.1 per cent depreciation witnessed in the year-ago quarter. Consequently, other expenses of corporates, which comprise the forex losses, are expected to rise by only 5.6 per cent during the December quarter. This will be much slower than the 11 per cent growth expected in sales of corporates during the quarter," CMIE said.
The think-tank said the IT industry is expected to post over 11 per cent growth in net profit, largely aided by a weak rupee.

Duration 00:49:22
Date recorded 26 June 2013
Fairness is a fundamental concept that arises in many aspects of computing. In theorem proving a refutationally complete inference system is complemented with a fair search plan, or strategy, to obtain a complete theorem-proving method. Although in practice we often give up on completeness, we usually do so by deliberately weakening a complete method, so that the practical interest in incomplete methods does not diminish the importance of fairness. While many refutationally complete non-trivial inference systems are known, the design of fair search plans that are not trivial and unfair search plans that are useful is a challenge. In this talk we discuss various notions of fairness for different theorem-proving paradigms. We analyze the connection between fairness and redundancy, how both are defined in terms of orderings, how these can be formula orderings or proof orderings. The latter allow us to distinguish between fairness, which yields completeness, and uniform fairness, which yields saturation, suggesting that saturation is too strong for theorem proving.

With the introduction of Google's Panda / farmer update to the UK on April 11th 2011, we have been getting questions:
"What does Google Panda / farmer mean for my website?" or importantly, "What does Google Panada mean for my business?"
In this post I intend to give you a quick overview of what the Google Panda / Farmer update is and how it could affect your online marketing and SEO.
What is the Google Panda Update?
The first thing you should know is that Google has an algorithm for returning search results. You can split it into 2 parts. The first part returns all of the pages that are relevant to your search term and the next part ranks them in order of relevance to your term. This is intended to return web pages so that the most relevant ones come first.
The Google Panda update is a change to the way the second stage works, i.e. the page rank algorithm. Google has implemented Panda to try and make the way that web pages are ranked more relevant.
Why have Google implemented Panda?
Google has been under criticism recently regarding the quality of its search results. The cause of this was spam content in many forms and guises, most notably:
- Duplicate content. For example, thousands of spam pages summarising and linking to an article to boost its ranking.
- Spam content. For example, a web-page that contain a meaningless combination of words that has been specifically tailored to rank highly on search results but that is unreadable to the average human. Often these pages have to sole goal of making money through advert clicks.
Google is always changing their algorithm to try and make search results more relevant. The reason that Panda has had such media attention is due to its level of impact. Google suggests that the change will impact "11.8% of our queries" (a query refers to a single Google search), which is quite significant considering that google suggested in 2008 that there were 1 Trillion unique web page URL's. No doubt this has increased since then. I reference URL's instead of pages because it is part of Googles algorithm to evaluate which URLs point to relevant new content vs. repeat content.
How does Google Panda work?
Google will never tell the general public the exact working of its algorithms. All they will tell us is the effect that the algorithm is trying to achieve.
In short the algorithm change aims to identify spammy duplicate content. The ultimate goal is to penalise content farms and spammed back links. Do you have an online SEO strategy that involves spamlike or automated processes to generate back links and content? Chances are that this is the type of thing that will be penalised. Google wants you to be creating content for humans to read, not search engines.
In some situations Google will also use information regarding the sites that users block to influence how it ranks pages.
How can I make sure my website works with change?
Don't create spam content to try and hit search results. Write high quality tailored content that will be relevant to what a user would want if they arrived on your page from a search engine.
If you are building back links then try to build them from quality sources that are relevant to the content of the pages that they are linking to.
Encourage in links by having genuinely useful content that people will naturally want to link to.
Remove spam content from your website. If you have lots of spam content on your website then there is a chance that Google could flag the whole site as a content farm. If you have multiple landing pages with tailored content then try and make sure that each page is relevant to the user that is likely to visit it. And if possible write something small and customised for every page so that Google can see that it has unique content.
I would recommend that you take the time to read Google's Webmaster Guidelines. They are very open about the standard of websites and the sort of content that they are looking to rank highly.
Is this change a good one?
This change is definitely one that is for the general good of the internet. It is going to drastically change the spam building strategy that a lot of "SEO Specialists" employ and it will put a positive slant towards the SEO marketers who are gaining high rankings through quality copywriting.
I would suggest investing time into writing high quality content is the most important thing here. If you would like advice in this area then contact Scorchsoft and we can refer you to a high quality copy-writer who specialises in writing content to achieve search engine performance.

It looks like Heather Morris is having some pregnancy cravings. The former Glee star was spotted picking up some grub at a burger joint yesterday morning (September 19, 2013) at 9:45 am.
After hitting up the burger joint, she gave her dog a kiss, and headed on over to Coffee Bean to pick up what looked like a fruit juice and coffee.
Sadly, we won't be seeing Heather in the Cory Monteith Glee tribute episode, but hopefully these pics of the pregnant Heather will help make up for that!

At this weekend's International Film Festival Summit in Austin, keynote speaker and San Francisco Film Society executive director Ted Hope told his fellow festival organizers that they have a chance to be at the forefront of change in an industry that's been curiously slow to embrace it. While the film industry as a whole has yet to make wholesale changes that respond to a world that's consumed by infinite choices in entertainment, film festivals have a particular opportunity.
As Hope points out,
"My 12-year-old son has said he doesn't like movies, although he loves most that he's ever seen. He doesn't see cinema as speaking to him – and if that doesn't change, the audience and community he is part of will be lost to us forever. We need to find our unique stamp at every festival, and it won't come from a top-down approach but from the crowd itself. Have we all utilized the tools we have to really listen, to evaluate and analyze?"
What follows is Hope's keynote. Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Thank you for inviting me into your community. I have been in the film business for close to 30 years now – but it is as if I lived on the other side of a wall from you. I had one vision of what it took to put on festivals, but that was just a pale shadow of the brutal reality I have come to face in my two months on the job at the San Francisco Film Society. It's hard work running a film festival! If any of you have played my films over the years and I didn't bestow flowers and thanks on you, please line up at the end of this talk and you can slap my hand, twice! I owe you guys!
I like to think the kind invite to speak today, though, is symbolic of us crashing down that wall, and the start of a new era – but then I have always been a tad grandiose… I mean, I did get drawn into this show business thing, after all.
Today, I think we all come for answers, but I have to warn you: my search for those answers has only led me to more questions. Those are the gifts I have to share after two months on the job as the Executive Director of The San Francisco Film Society. Questions that come from looking at our film culture and wondering how we can serve it best.
We all have a tremendous challenge before us. The film business and its infrastructure were built -- and are still based, sad to say -- on principles and concepts that are no longer applicable to the world we live in. The film business was founded on a monopolistic idea of scarcity of content and total control of that content. But we couldn't be further from the truth of that now.
We live in the time of grand abundance of content, total access to content and rampant distraction from content. Fifty thousand feature films are generated worldwide on an annual basis. America will remain the top consumption market in the world for at least another year, and it's thought we, at best, consume between 500-600 titles a year – basically, only 1% of the world's supply. It will take us an entire century to look at this year's supply of film. And next year we will still have the other 49,500 we didn't get to this year. And yet good movies don't get widely seen. Do we really need any new movies? And why is our entire industry so damn slow to adapt to this time of grand abundance?
As film festivals, we can – and certainly should – worry about how filmmakers are going to adapt to these changes. Our entire film culture is currently seriously threatened because artists and their supporters are not rewarded for the work they make. The system only profits the outliers and the facilitators.
I got to make the many films I did in part because I could deliver a predictably consistent positive return to my investors. That is virtually impossible now. The films I've made to date would not be made today; if they were, they were not be profitable or have the same sort of impact on the world. We are on the verge of being deprived of the stories that reach high and take chances. Picture a world without such tales. Is that the future we want? If it is, we need not do anything. But it isn't, we have some serious work ahead of us.
We also need to ask about when and how the film business will pivot, or not, and how do we adapt to that subsequent adaptation, too. The film industry is a strange ritual, seeming committed to reinventing the wheel again and again, hoping that the same actions will somehow lead to different results. The film industry is the physical manifestation of Einstein's definition of insanity. The music industry realized it needed to change its business model, and so hopefully soon will the film industry.

Sometimes we don't recognize how good our fathers were to us and how much we liked being around them until they're gone, either because they've passed away or we've moved away.
This Father's Day happens to fall just a few days before the sesquicentennial of the birth of West Virginia. That's appropriate, in a way. Some of us feel much the same about our state as we do about our fathers.
Now, West Virginia is, in many ways, a mother to native sons and daughters - and adopted ones, for that matter. Our mountains and valleys make us feel comfortable and safe, as we did when we were babies cradled in our mothers' arms. The land and its people nurture us, too, much like a doting mother.
But West Virginia is like a father, too - strong, independent, protective and in some ways, smarter than many other places. Think about it today and on Thursday, when we observe our state's 150th birthday.
In a tough spot, surrounded by danger, where would you want to be? In the mountains of West Virginia.
And with your back against the wall, if you had a choice of someone to be with you and could select that person based only on where he or she grew up, how would you decide? You'd pick a fellow West Virginian. That would be enough to know.
Our state is, in many ways, like a father who doesn't get many breaks in life - but who refuses to be beaten down. Consider the past several years, as our state was the envy of most others in keeping our budget balanced without new taxes and without slashing state services. Smart. Doing the best we can for our collective family, like a good hard-working father.
We're independent, too. We value our freedom. No one is going to tell us how to live our lives. No one is going to cow us by accusing us of being politically incorrect. So what?
And yes, we're compassionate. Years ago in a tourist area outside our state, I pulled into a parking lot. A panhandler approached.
I don't always dig out my wallet in such situations. But something about this fellow prompted me to hand him some money.
Why me, I asked him. Lots of other people had pulled into the same parking lot at about the same time. Why'd he make a beeline for me?
That's easy, he said, pointing to my car. The license plate, he noted, explaining, "People from West Virginia are more generous." It's a true story.
And it's really all the reason I need - even if not for all the others - to be proud I'm a West Virginian.
Happy Father's Day and happy West Virginia Day!

Nice glassesby Rachel
I'm not a brandy drinker, but my dad is, and I bought these for him. They are modern and sleek – almost makes me wish I drank brandy! My dad loved the gift, and said that the glasses bring out the nutty spice tastes better than his old glasses.
Shipped right awayby Daniel D.
Well packaged glasses, which is always a plus, and no breakage during shipping. They have a good ring to the glass, which is high quality with a thin rim. They bring out the best in my cognac and have a perfect bowl shape to swirl for aroma and color.

The treasure that is inside turtles and tortoises. It can only be acquired by breaking or prying open the shell. It usually comes in the form of gold coins or assorted jewels.
1. Hey dude, did you know that if you break open a turtle there's treasure inside.
2. Dude I went to the aquarium with my hammer yesterday, I got so much turtle treasure.
