Check out these finger flashlights! Amazon has 40 Super Bright Rave LED Finger Flashlight on sale for only $0.64 + $5.99 Shipping! These would be awesome for a school or fall carnival prize, or even to give out to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. I also wonder how well they would work for running at night, especially the white one.
Thanks, TightWadInUtah!

Welcome to the Guild. There are plenty of Gimp users here so your in good hands
Hi everyone,
I'm completely new to the whole cartography thing, so I'm looking to get to grips with the basics. I've had a shifty at some of the tutorials and have downloaded GIMP, so I should be able to get stuck in straight away, if time permits that is. Currently at uni in the UK studying Engineering. The main reason I joined was because I'm trying to write a fantasy book and I need a suitably cool looking map. I've got the basics sketched out on some scrap paper, but I want to develop it without having to use my (limited) drawing skills!
That'll probably do on the introduction side of things. Hopefully you'll be able to help me out with any problems or queries when they inevitably pop up!

Arming the Kurds: Rising House Dem finds common cause with major BGR client
January 6, 2016 | As Kurdish Peshmerga forces battle to push back the Islamic State in Iraq, Kurdish political forces face a fight in Washington. Their combatants need heavy weapons the U.S. can't give them directly — not yet, anyway. While it's far too early to tell whether any congressional proponent can become a sort of Charlie Wilson for the…
Money begets money: For many lawmakers, salary is secondary
January 6, 2016 | Year after year, OpenSecrets.org data shows that Congress is a millionaire's club. That's true even though members make "only" $174,000 a year, largely because many of them are wealthy before they're elected. In fact, salary isn't the top source of income for a large group of these lawmakers: Their pay is outstripped by the interest…
Anheuser-Busch InBev's acquisition of SABMiller would brew a strong lobbying combination
October 19, 2015 | Regulators parsing Anheuser-Busch InBev's planned acquisition of SABMiller are dealing with two companies that have for years spent millions fighting battles in Washington.
All Cooled Off: As Congress Convenes, Former Colleagues Will Soon be Calling From K Street
January 6, 2015 | Seven years after President George W. Bush signed the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act (HLOGA) into law and then-Sen. Barack Obama, (D-Ill.) declared it to be "the most sweeping ethics reform since Watergate," a joint analysis by the Sunlight Foundation and the Center for Responsive Politics suggests the effort may have misfired. A key…
Organizing for Action: Who's Giving to Obama-Linked Nonprofit?
June 17, 2014 | Since the beginning of the 2014 campaign cycle last year, 14 donors — running the gamut from a hedge fund manager to a gay rights activist to a little-known Salt Lake City venture capitalist — have given $100,000 or more to President Barack Obama's avowedly un-campaign committee, Organizing for Action. Another 26 have ponied up…
For-Profit Education's Million-Dollar Letter
May 30, 2014 | The public comment period ended this week on the Education Department's proposed new rules to limit federal aid to colleges and universities whose graduates are particularly debt-saddled or have high rates of student loan default. The rules would hit for-profit institutions hardest. But the industry is fighting back — and it has allies. Last week, 36…
Most Likely to Exceed: Who's Poised to Double Down Post-McCutcheon
January 15, 2014 | In anticipation of the Supreme Court's ruling in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, the Center for Responsive Politics and the Sunlight Foundation have teamed up to look at the deep-pocketed donors who could give even more if the justices strike down another limit on the amount of money in U.S. politics.
Special Interests Battle Over Immigration Reform
March 4, 2013 | Skirmishing over proposals to overhaul the nation's immigration laws has begun in earnest, but lobbying on the issue picked up months ago. Last year more clients reported lobbying on immigration than in any year since 2008.
Small Donors, Billionaires, Corporations and a Loan Funded Party Conventions
October 18, 2012 | The story of how the conventions were funded this year follows much the same path as the whole campaign finance narrative this year -- the Republicans dominated the money game, pushed by big dollar donations from billionaires, while Democrats turned to traditional allies and two big hometown corporations to pay their convention bill.

Invoking Vsys programmatically is more complex than invoking it at the command line. This is because of the blocking semantics of Vsys. While most programmers prefer interacting with files in blocking mode, Vsys requires that entries be opened in non-blocking mode. Once the entries have been opened, there are two ways to proceed. The first is to continue to use them in non-blocking mode and to use event-driven I/O to transfer data. If this method is too laborious to implement, then the second approach is to switch the entries back into blocking mode. The following example demonstrates how the latter is implemented:
As you can see, the entries are opened first in NON-BLOCKING mode, and then switched over to BLOCKING mode so that data can be read and written conveniently.

They could have just let it dry and had an instant monument to stupidity...
Driver to mechanic talking on cell phone, my "Porsha" seems a little sluggish this morning. I was doing the salom course, as I do each day its so invigorating, when suddenly I noticed a decrease in performance. Wait a moment some buffoon in a hardhat wishes to speak with me....... I will call back later.
Leave the car there for now, then come back in a few days with a D9 and scrape it off.
bet it was someone from this office
Those rims look better in a matte finish, with the calipers and rotors to match.
Maybe his 911 was too fast for him..........the added weight because of concrete dried to the undercarriage of his ride might give him a tad slower ride more to his liking!

Let's see how dumb we all are. Most of us are probably competing against each other, so there's no need to reveal your whole bracket.
I got UNLV over Duke in the Sweet Sixteen round.
Belmont over Georgetown and also St. Mary's over Kansas.
Had that too. That's about it though.
Is ISU over Kentucky shocking?

Not in my bracket baby! It's expected
Florida State winning the NC.
Montana over Wiscy.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Depends on the round.
I have no super-shockers in Round 1 (yet ... I'm sure I'll get crazy about something the longer I look at it).
Long Beach State over UNM and Cal over Temple as 12-5's.
Second round:
NC State and West Virginia to Sweet 16 as double-digit; Florida over Missouri to Sweet 16.
I don't see a viable 8/1 or 9/1 shocker.
ISU for the whole thing!
I've got UNLV over Duke, Long Beach over Alford, Davidson over Louisville, and VCU to the Sweet 16, where they lose to ISU (who then takes out UNLV).
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
Originally Posted by Clones21

Actually this is another one that I have. Also have Harvard over Vandy. Mostly picked that because Vandy always seems to lose in the first round and Harvard is a good team.
I have Missouri beating Kansas for the title
Detroit over KU. Ray McCallum is a stud.
Haven't made my bracket, but really considering including a 15/2 upset with Detroit over Kansas.
Detroit. They are smoking right now.
Iowa State over UNC to win the whole damn thing

By Lisa Scontras
Karen Robertshaw used her self-directed IRA to buy a 2-bedroom leasehold townhome for $98,000
cash in 2003. She later purchased the fee interest, also with funds from her IRA, for a price of
$57,000. For five years, she collected nearly $1,400 in rent every month, which went straight
back into the IRA account — tax free — before she sold the unit for $310,000.
"And because the IRA owned the property, the gain on the sale was not taxed either," says Robertshaw,
a Realtor and partner at Locations LLC. "Sweet."
Robertshaw is part of a growing movement of people who believe that using 401k or IRA funds
to buy real estate is a great way to diversify their retirement strategy.
"My goal for the next 10-year stretch is to do a bit more than double what is in my retirement
fund with real estate," says Robertshaw. "It's possible. My latest thoughts are to buy fee
simple studios."
Self-directed IRAs are one of the fastest growing segments of the retirement funds market
providing a diversification strategy to those seeking options beyond investing everything
in Wall Street. It also appeals to investors who may not understand "small cap" and "mid cap"
but do understand that real estate in Hawaii is a good solid long-term investment.
"Many people are unaware of the fact that their IRA can invest in alternative assets like real
estate because most IRA custodians do not offer real estate as an option," says Dan Falardeau,
owner of Entrust Hawaii, a self-directed IRA service provider in Hawaii. "The fact is most IRA
custodians are brokerage companies or banks and they only allow their clients to invest in
products that they sell and can earn a commission on."
Falardeau spends most of his time educating people on what their IRA and 401k options are
and how self-directed retirement plans work.
"The options as to what you can buy with you self-directed fund are almost unlimited," says
Falardeau. "There are only two restrictions to things you cannot buy, and that is life
insurance and collectibles."
According to Falardeau, most of his clients use their self-directed IRA for diversification
purposes and that the majority are moving a portion of their retirement savings into a
self-directed account specifically to invest in something other than securities.
"Last year's stock market volatility actually drove more people to explore alternative investment
options," he says. "The most common assets that we see are real estate, private placement,
precious metals and notes."
So how does it work?
Essentially, Falardeau breaks the process into three steps.
1. Ask your 401k custodian or the company that holds your IRA if you have a self-directed
option. Many do not, in which case you can opt to set up a new IRA with a self-directed IRA
company such as Entrust Hawaii.
2. Next you need to fund that new account with either an IRA transfer, a direct rollover or
with regular contributions.
3. Decide what you would like to buy with the IRA and instruct the company managing your
account to facilitate that investment on behalf of your fund.
"There are many benefits to buying real estate with IRA funds," says Michael Koyama, partner
at Locations LLC. "But if I had to choose one it would be the fact that it can be
difficult to allocate funds for investment especially during these challenging economic
times, but using your IRA allows you to invest in real estate without having to come out
of pocket for the down payment."
Realtor Bonnie Coen recently represented a buyer in transaction where Entrust Hawaii was
assisting the seller.
"I thought the process was seamless for my buyer," says Coen, a partner at Locations LLC.
"No unusual process or paperwork was necessary."
There is a specific process and strict IRS rules to adhere to, some of which can be complicated,
which is why working with experts is essential. But Falardeau contends that business is booming.
"We've found that now that the securities markets have rebounded a bit, more and more people are
taking that opportunity to move some of their retirement funds out of the stock market and into
alternative assets like real estate," says Falardeau. "Couple that with the fact that the real
estate market is a bit of a 'buyers' market and it seems to be a good time to self direct."
Those who have done bought and sold properties successfully through an IRA, like Robertshaw,
are sold on the investment option.
"Will I use my IRA to purchase real estate again?" Robertshaw says. "Absolutely."

Last night they were giving helmet stickers on one of the college football wrap-up shows and Lou Holtz gave one to Jesse Smith. Glad to see him get some national respect.
Saw that too. He's not the fastest or the most gifted but I'd take 11 Jesse Smiths on the field any day. Great game!!!!

The county is getting a petition to get GOCO funding for 5 more miles of the Poudre river trail to be built by 2015. That would leave about 4 miles left to connect the two trails for a 41mile-ish long trail mostly along the river from LaPorte to the east side of Greeley.
I have written a short write up of the trail as it was last year here, http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...re-River-Trail
I dont think the petition is getting a lot of local publicity, which is a shame. I ran across it on the internet while looking to print a map as I am taking the trail out and back from Fort Collins on Saturday.

The hotel is perfectly located right on the water, with a beautiful and enticing private beach. The room where we stayed afforded the most delicious view and as we were on the top floor we had the luxury of tall ceilings. We found the staff very friendly and helpful, and we would have liked to stay longer. We will be back!
The décor in the lobby and breakfast area could use an update.
Loved the location!
The location was amazing and amenities(pool, spa available kayaks etc) were great!
The hotel was good and clean. we enjoyed the stay very much.
Great place nice remodel job, beautiful views, great staff, great price, and good breakfast.
The staff is awesome. Great place, great people.
Friendly staff, central location with lake views
Lakeside with view of Tahoe Lake from the balcony and the front room. Fantastic hostess/owner who also teaches (and rents) paddle boarding and wind surfing. Within walking distance of lakeside dining. Close to Incline and small casino. Full kitchenette makes it perfect for week long stays and extra pull down bed makes suite big enough for family trips. View on a moonlit night make the balcony alone perfect for the romantic getaway for my girlfriend's birthday. Can't say enough. Would go back for the view, location and the friendly smiling owner, even in inclement weather.
Could use some upgrades of furniture, but this is small compared to the view.
The location and the view on the lake, not to forget the very friendly owner.
The amenities offered were impressive, as well as the location on the lake. Fresh popped popcorn in the lobby & DVD's to borrow was a nice touch.
The carpet was dirty. We found bugs in our bathroom. The Murphy bed in our unit was not comfortable. The mattress was very soft and uncomfortable.
Our room was called a Comfort studio when it is actually a Compact studio. There us no way to use the appliances in the sane time, e.g. we cannot use coffee maker and a toaster in the same time because there is no space in that kichinette for that. There is no dishwasher in the room. It's very tiny space. Yes, there is a Quinn bed, but the rest is for the midget people. Our daughter booked a Comfort studio as well at the same time where we were there, that I can call a Comfort studio. There is a space to move for 2 people. I believe that is misleading to advertise the same type of rooms for 2 different sizes but for the same price.
Lakeside location was great. Very clean, I'd for sure come back. Cute little cabin with a kitchenette, perfect for a weekend. Small but cute and clean.

Hi all,
I just finished de-lurking in the "welcome" forum with the vague implication that I might put up my first two semi-finished products. So here they are!
They are both heavily based on darklingrisen's tutorial for Gimp http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ps-in-the-GIMP. I looked into the theory regarding mountain placement, but it was a lot to take in for a first try so instead I poked about on google maps and found coastline near Anchorage, AK that looked kinda like what I wanted so I used that as a basis.
The second map expands on that (sorry, don't remember the links for the other tutorials at this time; I'll go back through and try to add it later). It has more details of one of the regions. I had a hard time getting the labels legible on this one, so the result was one of usability over aesthetics.
Lastly, I've been playing around with aged paper effects (creating old paper/parchment tutorial by Rob A... link to come later). I'll tone it down for a usable map, but not sure the best way to do that (drop some of the marks, lighten stuff, some weird filter option?).
Suggestions are welcomed. I'd like to know what parts are the best and which parts need the most work (if you see the same problems in both maps, then definitely feel free to point it out).
Thanks all!

Michael Weaver Selected to USA Walker Cup Team
Related Links
Websites: Walker Cup
FAR HILLS, N.J. – Cal golfer Michael Weaver has been selected for the USA Walker Cup team, joining Golden Bear teammates Max Homa and Michael Kim after their selections last month. The trio comprise the first three Cal players to ever by chosen for the Walker Cup and are among 10 amateurs who will make up the 2013 USA team.
The United States Golf Association, after a recommendation by its International Team Selection Committee, announced the completion of the team Sunday.
"It's a great day for Michael and obviously a wonderful day for our golf program," Cal head coach Steve Desimone said. "Michael, like all of our players, has worked so hard. This is so well-earned and so deserving. It really is a culmination of what has been a wonderful run over the last three or four years for our program. To represent the United States in the highest level of amateur competition in the world speaks for itself. All of our guys are really looking forward to it."
"Making the Walker Cup team has been my goal individually for quite some time now and really validates the hard work I've put in," Weaver said. "I'm really excited to represent the United States alongside Michael [Kim] and Max [Homa]. I know that this will be the experience of a lifetime and I can't wait to get to New York and play."
Weaver was a first-team PING Division I All-American at Cal during the 2012-13 collegiate season and a second-team All-American selection according to Golfweek. He also picked up PING Division I All-West Region and first-team All-Pac-12 honors. Weaver won his first collegiate tournament at the 2013 NCAA Pullman Regional when he was the co-individual medalist and had six top-five and seven top-10 finishes, including four top-five finishes in his last six events among which was a second-place showing at the Pac-12 Championship. Weaver posted a 70.92 scoring average over 37 stroke-play rounds. During the season, he became Cal's first current player to ever play in the Masters and was also one of a school-record three Bears that participated in the U.S. Open along with Kim and Homa. Weaver received an exemption to the U.S. Open with the same 2012 U.S. Amateur runner up showing that got him an invitation to the Masters.
Weaver was also a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar as selected by the Golf Coaches Association of America and an honorable mention Pac-12 All-Academic choice in 2012-13.
Cal's Brandon Hagy was also announced Sunday as the first alternate for the team.
"I would be remiss to not mention another player we had in contention for a spot in Brandon Hagy," Desimone said. "I know it was close but in so many respects he was just as deserving as our other guys because he's certainly worked as hard as everyone else. I know there are a limited number of spots on the team."
All four Cal golfers on the 2013 USA Walker Cup team were instrumental in a 2012-13 season that is considered by many as one of the finest in the history of college golf when Cal won 12 of 14 stroke-play tournaments to set a modern-era NCAA single-season record previously established with the 10 victories recorded by the 1985-86 Oklahoma State team. Cal was ranked No. 1 in the final 2012-13 team rankings by both Golfweek and Golfstat despite losing to Illinois in the match-play semifinals of the NCAA Championship.
The prestigious Walker Cup is a biennial 10-man amateur team competition between the USA and a team composed of players from Great Britain and Ireland. It is played over two days with 18 singles matches and eight foursomes (alternate-shot) matches. The USA leads the overall series 34-8-1, and has not lost on American soil since the 2001 match at Ocean Forest Golf Club in Sea Island, Ga.
Many of the game's greatest players have taken part in Walker Cup competition, including U.S. Open champions Francis Ouimet, Bob Jones, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods for the USA and Graeme McDowell, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose for Great Britain and Ireland.
The first USA Walker Cup Team in 1922, which defeated the Great Britain and Ireland team, 8-4, at the National Golf Links of America, is considered among the best teams ever comprised and included Ouimet, Jones, Charles "Chick" Evans and Jess Sweetser.
The 44th Walker Cup match against Great Britain and Ireland will be played Sept. 7-8 at the National Golf Links of America in Southampton, N.Y., which is hosting the match for the first time since it hosted the inaugural Walker Cup in 1922. Golf Channel will televise two hours of action each day from 4-6 p.m. ET/1-4 p.m. PT.

Most Read Stories
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground white-meat turkey
1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
3 ounces jalapeño peppers or a mix of similar chili peppers (about four), cored, seeded and finely diced, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder, or more to taste
1 tablespoon double-concentrated tomato paste (may substitute 2 tablespoons regular tomato paste)
2 tablespoons flour
15 to 15½ ounces home-cooked or no-salt-added black beans (about 1¾ cups; drain and rinse if using canned)
2½ cups homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth, or more as needed
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet or two smaller baking sheets with aluminum foil. Grease the foil with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
2. Use paper towels to pat the potato slices dry. Arrange the slices on the baking sheet(s); lightly brush the slices on both sides with 2 tablespoons of the oil, then season on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for a total of 35 to 40 minutes; the bottoms of the slices should be lightly browned after about 25 minutes; the tops should be browned as well after another 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large, deep sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and season lightly with salt and pepper, using a spatula to break up any large clumps. Cook for about five minutes, turning a few times, until the turkey loses its raw look. Transfer the turkey to a bowl or rimmed plate.
4. If the pan is dry, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil. Add the onion and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for three to four minutes, until the onion just starts to soften. Add the diced peppers and season with salt to taste. Cook for three to four minutes, until the onion is soft. Add the cumin and chili powder, stirring to combine.
5. Add the tomato paste; cook, stirring to evenly distribute, for two minutes. Add the flour and stir until it is well incorporated. Return the turkey to the pan and add the black beans. Add the broth, and stir to combine all of the ingredients. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, so the broth is barely bubbling at the edges. Cook for 15 minutes. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the mixture seems dry, add broth; it should not be soupy, but there should be enough cooking liquid to act as a sauce.
6. Divide among individual bowls; place three or four potato crisps around the inside edge of each bowl, submerging their ends in the chili. Serve immediately.

With most drivers home from spring break holiday, the price of gasoline begins to drop. However, prices nationwide remain at an all time high.
Triple-A Michigan says gas prices are down two cent per gallon this week. That drop comes after three straight weeks of price hikes.
On average, Michigan motorists are paying a $1.76 for a gallon of self-serve gasoline. That's about 21 cents higher than this time last year.
However, the Michigan price is below the national average of $1.82 a gallon.

Study: Today's youth aren't ego-driven slackers after all
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Today's youth are generally not the self-centered, antisocial slackers that previous research has made them out to be, according to a provocative new study co-authored by a Michigan State University psychologist.
In a scientific analysis of nearly a half-million high-school seniors spread over three decades, MSU's Brent Donnellan and Kali Trzesniewski of the University of Western Ontario argue teens today are no more egotistical – and just as happy and satisfied – as previous generations.
"We concluded that, more often than not, kids these days are about the same as they were back in the mid-1970s," said Donnellan, associate professor of psychology.
The study appears in the research journal Perspectives on Psychological Science. Donnellan acknowledges that many people will be surprised by the findings, which refute previous studies classifying today's youth as selfish loafers with extremely high levels of self-esteem.
But while much previous research has relied on "convenience studies" of relatively small samples of young adults, Donnellan said, the current study analyzes the psychological profile data of 477,380 high school seniors from 1976 to 2006. The data comes from the University of Michigan's federally funded Monitoring the Future survey, which each year tracks the behaviors, attitudes and values of American students.
In other findings:
• Today's youth are more cynical and less trusting of institutions than previous generations. But Donnellan said this is generally true of the broader population.
• The current generation is less fearful of social problems such as race relations, hunger, poverty and energy shortages.
• Today's youth have higher educational expectations.
Ultimately, Donnellan said, it's common for older generations to paint youth in a negative light – as lazy and self-absorbed, for example – which can perpetuate stereotypes. It can be easy, he added, to forget what it's like to grow up.
"Kids today are like they were 30 years ago – they're trying to find their place in the world, they're trying to carve out an identity, and it can be difficult," Donnellan said. "But lots of research shows that the stereotypes of all groups are much more overdrawn than the reality."
Michigan State University has been advancing knowledge and transforming lives through innovative teaching, research and outreach for more than 150 years. MSU is known internationally as a major public university with global reach and extraordinary impact. Its 17 degree-granting colleges attract scholars worldwide who are interested in combining education with practical problem solving.

A year of change for Oceanside schools
OCEANSIDE -- A parent, student or school administrator who doesn't like change might have cried or complained at least once in 2003.
The Oceanside Unified School District suffered through many changes this year -- the effects of budget belt-tightening and strict accountability in schools. Some programs and schools were hit harder than others, either because of less money or more scrutiny over low test scores.
On top of the pressure to perform -- as students sat down with sharpened No. 2 pencils to take a barrage of statewide standardized tests in the spring -- some had to cope with the absence of parents who had been summoned to Iraq to fight the U.S.-led war on terrorism.
Nearly 80 percent of the students at three Oceanside elementary schools on Camp Pendleton alone had parents off at war at some point this year.
Students weren't the only ones coping with tough times. By May 15, more than 100 teachers had been notified that they wouldn't have a job for the new school year starting in August.
Some would say it was a harsh year.
Budget chop
Students and their parents got caught up in traffic snarls at district campuses on the first day of school in August while others crowded onto North County Transit District buses for a ride to school.
That's because the district opened its first school year ever without busing for about 5,000 middle and high school students -- a move that saved the cash-tight district $1.5 million.
Nowadays, students spend up to an hour-and-a-half aboard standing-room-only public buses to get to and from school in the mornings and afternoons. Non-student riders have complained to district and transit district officials that the students have commandeered the public buses with their large school bags and boisterous fun.
The transit district also felt the school district's budget chop when it was forced to add more buses to its regular routes to accommodate the crush of students looking for ways to get to and from school. Some of the transit district's buses more than tripled in ridership the first day of school.
Busing was and remains a nearly impossible task to deal with in the wake of the district's decision to park its school buses permanently, transit officials have said.
A slap on the hand
Why were Oceanside High School students historically performing so poorly on state standardized tests?
That was a question that sparked a district investigation of the school, resulting in a scathing report that identified problems that in turn led swiftly to whirlwinds of change for Oceanside High students this year.
According to the report, a team of district staffers found numerous problems at Oceanside High, including money misuse, time mismanagement, teaching inconsistencies and lack of classroom control.
The team said it discovered that some classrooms at the school were operating with low student expectations, out-of-date materials, and a culture that focused more on sports than academics.
The report also found that even though average test scores for Oceanside High were drastically lower than those of the district's other major high school, El Camino High, students enter Oceanside High at about the same academic level as incoming freshmen across town.
The report prompted Oceanside High Principal Kimo Marquardt to institute changes designed to demand more from students.
On the first day of school this year, teachers closed the classroom doors when the last bell rang for each class and students left in the hallways were herded to the office and handed lunch detentions -- a new tardy policy that still results in more than 100 students a day in lunch detention.

Moving forward: conceptualizing comfort in information sources for enthusiast cyclists.
Jonathan Dorey and Catherine Guastavino
ASIST 2011 Annual Meeting
New Orleans, LA, October 9-12, 2011
This research aims to identify how the notion of comfort in the context of bicycling is conveyed in an American bicycling magazine and online forum. A holistic approach to comfort was used to go beyond the generally-accepted definition, which focuses on vibrations, and identify associated concepts and situations relevant to study comfort for enthusiasts cyclists. We also compare the different conceptualizations derived from the analysis of the specialized magazine and the online forums posts.

Thought I should point out, the Topic title is mispelled as "Nghtmare" instead of "Nightmare". As for the project, it seems interesting enough, but it lacks plot. I read through it, and there are
a lot
of plotholes. You should re-read it yourself and fix it. I'll point out what's missing if you me to.

Dennis Groves Success Story
From Getting Results | The Book
Dennis Groves' Story
What I have learned from practicing Agile Results, and how I implement it.
Before I met JD, and he introduced me to Agile Results. I would pick one important thing for the day and do it. Because of my incubatory (some would say procrastinatory) nature, it would be a major accomplishment if I achieved the 'one' task by days end. So many 'fires' would happen during the day; and I would never get around to 'me.' I would end the day emotionally exhausted, and resentful of the others around me who kept me from my daily goal.
When I met JD he was reputed to be doing 15 projects a year where as his peers at Microsoft did 3-5. I was a bottom 10% guy; I did 1 project a year. So JD, was not just a top 10% he is one of the top 1%. What initially worried me about meeting with JD was that in the past the people like JD I had met were all workaholics, they have zero life balance; and I did not really think I would gain much from the introduction. What I needed was more time alone to do my incubating, but also needed more time with my family. Advice about working harder was not what I needed.
This fear was put to rest the first time I spoke to JD: The first thing he talked about was balance. I knew JD was a 1%er and so I was lucky to have been in the room with him, let alone have him investing his time in me; so I was paying attention; but as soon as he started talking about "Hotspots" I was as alert and attentive, I was hanging on every word. He was not another workaholic advocating I work longer, harder, faster. He was talking about reduction. Less is more. Buckets, flows, and frames. This was strategy not tactics. I was hooked.
JD showed me how I was doing way more than one thing a day, and that I was doing the wrong things. I needed to 'do less' of the things I was doing and more of the things that added congruence and value to my life. I needed to set boundaries. I needed to manage my plate. It was about this time I had learned about Merlin Mann's Inbox Zero; that was enlightening and I started doing it. I had learned a useful tactics, and I shared it with JD. JD showed me how to simply that even more, with one email rule and Do it, Date it, Delegate or Delete. No more hours and hours of reacting to emails. I learned to batch email to 30 minutes twice a day, and always have an empty inbox. I now had a giant chunk of time to get work done in.
I started "the power of three" & "scalable outcomes" each morning I would create a text file with today's date. I then write down 3 things I needed to do that day (JD highly recommends doing this the night before; this is just an example of how I don't follow instructions and experiment to see what works for me). I then type a line under it... as in the example below:
- Outcome a
- Outcome b
- Outcome c
- yesterday todo a
- yesterday todo b
- yesterday todo c
- yesterday todo d
- new todo e
- new todo f
- new todo g
- new todo h
- could a
- could b
- could c
This is my 'todo' list - under the line I put all the things people ask me to do that day - either by email, phone call, or speaking with me. (my should list) They will not be done until I complete my three outcomes for the day (my must list). Most of the time they will be actionable the following day, but sometimes they do get done same day. The outcomes are a closed list; it has boundaries, it is achievable. If I do those three things I have had a good day and accomplished all I set out to do. If I get more done, it is even better. And if I don't that is perfectly ok. The list under the line I allow to grow without bounds - this is an open list. Actually, there is another open list, 'the could list' that is separated by a blank line after the should do or 'todo-list'. This is a list where I record ideas, this is an incubation area. This should and could list is often the list from which I choose the three outcomes for the day. But sometimes my outcomes are generated by my needs or desires, as necessary. When a thing gets done I change the font to bold. This allows me to see what I have done and what I haven't at a glance. (more recently I have been experimenting with various ways of doing this system with emacs org-mode) Additionally, the 'should do' and 'could do' are carried over from day to day. As a rule, I do my best to get all the should dos from the day before done each day. This forms another closed list; and is almost like a fourth Must do item. I have noticed that open lists never get done - it is important to close them off so you can call them done; reward yourself with the feeling of having accomplished them. Open lists are a recipe for failure, because by definition you can't successfully complete it.
As a result of these few practices; and Agile Results contains so much, much more that I haven't put into practice. I routinely not only get my 3 most important outcomes done and stay in balance with my life; I get another 9 things done. This testimonial is a perfect example of the power of Agile Results. JD emailed me during one of the busier times in my life, and I agreed to this task. I had 3 birthdays, two job interviews, full time school, part time work and homework. In the past I simply wouldn't have committed to the task, it would have overwhelmed me; and I wouldn't have gotten it done. Agile Results has allowed me to scale up to the demands of life, and scale back down and incubate.

Scott Weingart recently had to deal with an incident on EMCrit. A listener posted a comment that was critical of a person who appeared on the podcast (or at least the listeners impression of him) rather than concentrating on the facts and opinions expressed in the podcast itself. Scott has followed this up with an explanation of his policy on blog comments. He emphasises the need for freedom of speech and the need for non-anonymity. I think his policy is a good one — listen to it here.
It seems that this whole incident has created quite a furore. Indeed, there are people out there that hope the perpetrators of such ad hominem attacks will soon have their Downfalls…
Of course, this video was submitted to us anonymously… But we strongly suspect the involvement of at least one F.UCEM.

Our local TV station (KUSA Channel 9) - NBC - ran a nice feature last night on cyclocross races in the Boulder area.
It was nicely done and quite interesting, showing the bikes being ridden, carried (and, yes, crashing) over various obstacles in the Boulder mountains. There were several tasteful and positive interviews with cyclocross racers.
Anyway, I don't cyclocross, but thought you might be interested in the publicity and interest in this area in this most unique sport!
Sorry, I could not find it posted on their web site.

Geisinger set to open urgent care clinic in Dallas
Geisinger Careworks After-Hours Care, a partnership between Careworks Convenient Healthcare, Geisinger Health Plan and Geisinger Health System, will open an after-hours urgent care clinic Tuesday at the Geisinger-Dallas community practice, 114 Lt. Cleary Drive.
The facility, which treats minor injuries so patients can avoid unnecessary emergency room visits, will be staffed from 5 to 11 p.m. weekdays and, beginning in August, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends.
Urgent care clinics treat minor health problems such as allergies, asthma, burns, colds, cuts, fevers and sprains, and offer services including immunizations, labs, X-rays, electrocardiography (EKG) and IV therapy.
"The ultimate goal of the Geisinger Careworks After-Hours Care clinic in Dallas is to provide a convenient patient experience for anyone in the community, whether a new or existing Geisinger patient, by accepting walk-ins well beyond normal office hours," said Steven Christensen, CEO of Careworks.
"Because of the overwhelmingly positive reception Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre Urgent Care has had in the Wilkes-Barre area and Careworks walk-in clinics have had in Tannersville, Stroudsburg and Clarks Summit, we are confident the new Dallas clinic will develop into a highly valued community resource."

Full wall-to-wall coverage, including photo galleries, athlete interviews, recaps and columns are available at the Event Landing Page
LONDON, England, July 28. WITH 12 sub-minute times this morning, it certainly took a strong swim in the men's 100-meter breaststroke qualifying round to make semifinals tonight in the 2012 London Games.
Australia's Christian Sprenger posted the top time from the morning with a 59.62, and is both looking to upset two-time defending champion Kosuke Kitajima, but also to become the first Australian gold medalist in the event. Actually, Australia has never finished higher than bronze in the men's 100 breast. Peter Evans (1980, 1984) and Phil Rogers (1992) are the only other Aussies to medal in the event.
"I wanted to go in there and do a solid time and I got a personal best," Sprenger said. "I think my stroke fell apart towards the end. My goal in this race was to make it into the final. If I get into the final that would be great."
Kitajima, meanwhile, clocked a 59.63 for the second seed heading into semis. With two wins under his belt the past two years, the only man to do so in the event's history, he has a strong chance to become the first man to win three straight Olympic golds in the same event. That is, if Michael Phelps doesn't shakes off his eighth-seeded time in the men's 400 IM this morning to claim his third in a row.
"It's good for a first race," Kitajima said. "I can swim at a really high level so I will try to improve for the semifinals. I don't feel any pressure. I'm here to enjoy myself."
Kitajima also commented on the fact that 2008 silver medalist Alexander Dale Oen of Norway is not at the meet after suffering an untimely death earlier this year.
"Everyone is feeling sad [about Alex not being here]," Kitajima said.
Lithuania's Giedrius Titenis put on a show in the sixth-of-six heats as well, posting a 59.68, while Hungary's Daniel Gyurta clocked a fourth-seeded 59.76. New Zealand's Glenn Snyders (59.78), South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh (59.79), Canada's Scott Dickens (59.85) and Japan's Ryo Tateishi (59.86) rounded out the top eight.
Great Britain's Michael Jamieson (59.89), USA's Brendan Hansen (59.93), USA's Eric Shanteau (59.96) and Italy's Fabio Scozzoli (59.99) also broke a minute in the morning, while Great Britain's Craig Benson (1:00.04), Australia's Brenton Rickard (1:00.07), Brazil's Felipe Silva (1:00.38) and Brazil's Felipe Lima (1:00.57) also made their way to the semis.

Tipton Deluxe Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rods Carbon fiber rods are the best of both: the carbon fiber can't scratch your bore like stainless steel, and they won't embed like coated rods. Plus, Carbon Fiber rods can be bent to an extreme degree and return to their original straightness. These cleaning rods are called "deluxe" because they feature an ergonomically designed handle that spins on two sets of ball bearings - the result is a cleaning rod that smoothly follows the rifling both pushing and pulling, even while under pressure. The "shank-through" construction also allows the user to apply "reasonable" hammer blows to the end of the cleaning rod to get a tight patch through a bore. Each rod is 36". Size: .27-.45 cal.

As its generic name of the family that Americans strive to keep up with, The Joneses is an insightful, if not especially scathing, satire from debut director/co-writer Derrick Borte about consumerist manipulation.
An upscale, gated suburb where the average income is "over $100,000" is the hunting ground for a manufactured family of product-placement experts whose every possession is a planted item they subversively taunt their unsuspecting neighbors with. Steve (David Duchovny) and Kate Jones (Demi Moore) are phony parents to surrogate teenage children Jenn (Amber Heard) and Mick (Ben Hollingsworth).
Monthly meetings with their menacing "unit" leader, KC (Lauren Hutton), inspires the group to get their sales numbers up.
Kate sports plush sweats around the suburb when she isn't exposing her well-connected stylist to hair products that only she knows about. On the local golf course, former used car salesman Steve takes lessons from the young pro-shop clerk to quietly influence sales of a new line of golf clubs. It isn't long before the unit's impact on the community is being felt most by their suggestible neighbor, Larry (Gary Cole), whose ambitious attempts to keep up with the Joneses spells foreclosure proceedings for him and his insecure wife (Glenne Headly).
As a meta-message movie about America's pre-financial meltdown state of insatiable greed, The Joneses is a canny footnote whose relevance to our economic depression has already passed. Grade: B-

On Set Of 'John Wick' With Keanu Reeves
ET Canada got a behind-the-scenes look at Keanu Reeves' new film "John Wick" in New York City.
The Canadian actor plays John Wick, a former hit man who goes back to his old life after his late wife's dog is taken away.
Directed by David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, the film is in good hands. Both are former stuntmen, who are no strangers to the fast-paced world of action flicks. With experience on The Hunger Games, Iron Man 2 and 300, they aren't cutting any slack for Keanu and the rest of the cast, which includes Daniel Bernhardt and Zero Hour's Michael Nyqvist.
"Because they've come from this action world, they really understand that and can do other things with it," says Keanu.
The directors are focusing on giving the fans something different, says David: "There's a lot of fighting, a lot of gun play. But we tried to sort of create a new style of martial arts and guns together."
Tune-in to ET Canada tonight for more from our exclusive "John Wick" set visit!

Dear Town Manager Rene' Reed,We are writing on behalf of a group formed yesterday which already consists of over 1000 Duxbury residents, sticker holders and other concerned parties.
We have several questions we would appreciate answers to:
1) Who exactly is responsible for the decision to close the beach? Please provide the name and title(s) of the person(s) responsible and the procedure used to make the decision.
2) It has been reported that a government agency requested the beach closure, please provide details to whether this is correct and what the names, titles and agencies of the person(s) responsible are. Also, please detail what steps, if any, were taken to appeal this decision or represent the wishes of the citizens and sticker holders.
3) When was this information provided and when was this decision made? It is particularly troubling that we have learned that citizens purchased beach stickers as recently as yesterday morning and where not told about this issue when the selectmen had already been notified. At the very least this seems highly unethical if not also completely misleading and a false representation to sticker purchasers.
4). Who exactly is responsible for the decision to refuse reimbursement or partial reimbursement of the sticker purchases? Please provide name(s) and title of the person(s) responsible for this decision. Please also explain the procedure used to make this decision.
5). What limits on protection of endangered species are there and what appeal and checks and balance process is in place to prevent errors or instances of overreaching? What efforts, if any, did the town make to appeal this, investigate the legitimacy of this claim and review alternative means to protect the plovers? What additional expert opinions and options were explored by the town in this matter?
6). We have seen communications reporting to be from your office stating:
"The rules and regulations of Duxbury Beach are clear regarding the authority given the Town regarding public safety and endangered species protection. These rules are in place, under the watchful eye of the Federal government to ensure that the beach remains permanently open to the public. If not for these regulations and the overall Duxbury Beach Management Plan, the Beach would most certainly be secured by the government as a Federally protected environment and hence lost to the public in perpetuity."
Please confirm if this is accurately attributed to your office. If so, please explain what Federal agency you are referring to which is keeping a "watchful eye" over the activities of the town. Please detail your offices communications with such agency. Please also explain by what authority you believe the Federal government would seize or "secure" the beach which is private and has been a private corporation since 1975.
More importantly please explain whether you would fight such an action by the Federal government or whether you would support the seizure of the beach by Federal authorities.
7). What other remedies, if any, have been investigated on behalf of people who feel they were sold an ineffective sticker, or worse (especially in the case of those sold stickers after the situation was known) outright duped in their purchase?
Was an exemption requested from US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) or the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)? If not, why not?
Given that over 1000 people have joined our group expressed an interest in this matter in less than 24 hours, we believe it is reasonable to expect that this be treated as a priority and expect a response to this letter immediately.
Thank you.


text: So I was on a training ride today. I stopped at a red light, it turns green and this scooter zips by me on my right. I clipped in and started to ride, then something got to me. I caught up to the scooter on this slight incline and yelled at him to "Get the F*k off the bike lane." He replied something, but because of the wind and his full motorcycle helmet I had hard time hearing. He accelerated and I backed off. I caught up to him again on a red light, and repeated my polite statement. His response was that it is legal for scooters to be in bike lanes. This got me thinking was he right and I was a jack ass, or was I on the right. My computer max speed registered at 33.5 I am guessing he was going around 30mph up that incline since I caught up to him. Which to me indicates he should have been riding on the road.

MOUNDSVILLE - The influx of temporary workers coming into Marshall County for the oil and gas industry has posed a peculiar problem for the Marshall County Sheriff's Department when it comes to investigating crimes.
Although Sheriff Kevin Cecil said the county has not necessarily seen an increase of crime from the oil and gas industry, it has become difficult for his department to identify who is coming into the county and track traveling workers suspected of crimes.
There are multiple issues in dealing with transient workers, according to Cecil.
Article Photos
Photo by Sarah Harmon
An oil and gas worker was arrested immediately after an alleged stabbing incident last week at Goodfellas Bar & Grill in McMechen.
Since many gas workers live in the area for only a few months, live in temporary residences such as motor homes, motels and rented housing, and often drive cars that are not in their name, it can sometimes be a time-consuming task for law enforcement to keep track of who is in the county and if they have a criminal background.
"For us, it makes it extremely difficult to find out who is here and not here," Cecil said.
In response, the sheriff's department has been exploring how to monitor and identify workers who temporarily set up shop in the area. Cecil said deputies have been traveling through the county with license plate readers, which will alert them of people with criminal backgrounds by reading a license plate number. This way, the department can be aware of potential problems.
If the plate numbers are not in the system, the department will still try to do research on someone, but it's a time-consuming process, Cecil said. Instead of relying on the reader's system, the department is developing a new database of people in the county based on their own research.
"It's a lot of boots on the ground stuff," Cecil said. "It's hard to track them from month-to-month and week-to-week. It's not that anybody's necessarily bad or good, we just want to know who's here. We want to know who we're dealing with. It's not that we're labeling these people, we're preparing ourselves and making it easier on us in the long run in case something does happen."
Once someone is identified, however, it can still be difficult to locate a pipeliner connected to a crime. Sometimes, a worker will commit a crime locally and will leave the area shortly after to go to a job site that could be anywhere in the country.
"There have been some incidents that have occurred in Marshall County - some serious things - that involved transient workers who picked up and left within a couple of hours," Cecil said. "We have to track them down. You're not always able to find them in a quick way, because they move throughout the country."
In those cases, law enforcement must rely on other jurisdictions in the country to find a suspect who has fled. Cecil said several times other jurisdictions have depended on his office as well to look for someone who committed a crime in their area.
Cecil added oil and gas workers are only part of the picture for the county's crime. Pipeliners do not get into trouble any more than permanent residents, but their mobile lifestyle and the lack of familiarity makes it more difficult to find them when they do.
"It's a very, very time-consuming process," Cecil said. "It's very tedious."
