High school football playoff roundup: No. 4 Robert C. Byrd knocks off Bluefield
Mason Compton returned the game's opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown, sparking No. 4 Robert C. Byrd to a 34-20 victory over No. 5 Bluefield in a Class AA quarterfinal game Friday night at RCB.
Robert C. Byrd (11-1) used its size to control the line of scrimmage for the school's first-ever win in the state football quarterfinals.
Compton added a 60-yard touchdown reception and intercepted two passes, and teammate Tre Cox rushed for two touchdowns. Iziah Hill caught a 16-yard TD pass, his 12th receiving score of the season.
RCB limited Bluefield's ground attack to 167 yards. Montel Leggett led the Beavers (9-3) with 85 yards.
The Blue Dons (11-1) will face the winner of today's Tucker County-Clay-Battelle matchup in next week's semifinals.
Madonna's Elliot Nero caught two of the touchdowns, including a 60-yarder on third-and-18 late in the game to seal a victory. David Gray paced the Blue Devils (10-2) with 136 rushing yards. Derek Barnhart and Andrew Cosper scored the St. Marys touchdowns.
The No. 2 Bulldogs (11-1) advance to next weekend's semifinals against No. 3 George Washington. The game will be played in Martinsburg at a time and date to be determined on Sunday.
Martinsburg got a big break right off the bat when the Applemen opened the game with an onside kick and Tyshawn Smith returned it 54 yards for a Bulldogs' TD and an 8-0 advantage.
Musselman's Maverick Keller had 83 yards on 14 carries, and Caleb Dembeck was 8 of 17 passing for 78 yards, including a TD to Trevon Wesco.
Martinsburg beat Musselman 73-0 during the regular season. The Applemen ousted Capital in the first round of the playoffs last week.
Bridgeport (9-2) limited the Falcons to just 161 yards of total offense. The Indians, who rushed for 306 yards, also received an 8-yard TD run from Anthony Caldera and a 24-yard interception return for a score by Tyler Marks.

Cartoon Character Pictures All over FacebookJohn Cave Osborne
What do Nancy and Sluggo, Captain Caveman, Huckleberry Hound, Tweety, Bullwinkle, Chilly Willy, Hong Kong Phooey, Speedy Gonzales and Hermey, that one elf who wanted to be a dentist on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer all have in common?
They "like" my book on Facebook. And as I interacted with such characters this past weekend, two things came to mind. I like them, too. A lot. But, also, they made me feel sorry for my kids.
As Sierra noted on Friday, the cartoon explosion on Facebook avatars is part of a social justice campaign designed to raise awareness about violence toward children. Like Sierra, I don't think the campaign will be effective, per se, in actually combating the epidemic. But it sure has filled me with a wave of nostalgia. There's just something, I say, about Foghorn Leghorn, I say, that'll take a man back.
Surfing Facebook made my Strollerderby compadre, Carolyn, think of cartoon characters who have stood the test of time. Maybe I'm just negative, though, because all it made me think of was how bad my kids have it when it comes to animation. Because today's cartoons are seriously lame.
Sure, Carolyn's right. The Smurfs are still alive and well thanks to the Macy's parade. And, yeah, the Peanuts gang might appear on TV a couple of times a year for a holiday special, but today's children don't have regular access to the iconic characters that we grew up with.
I suppose, however, I could be turning into what many parents eventually turn into—some old curmudgeon who thinks only his generation got it right, mired in yesteryear, even when it comes to the mindless media of cartoons, clinging just a touch too tightly to Casper.
But if that's the case, it's only because today's cartoons suck. (Sorry, I just can't help being myopic on this one.) I mean, sure, there's Dragon Tales. And it's okay and all. But Calliou? That kid's horrendous. And can someone please tell me why he's bald? He's like 8 or something.
Kipper the Dog has his moments. As do Lola and Charlie, though once the novelty of their British accents wears off, all you really have are a couple of bickering siblings. None of the aforementioned cartoon characters can hold a candle to Bugs Bunny and his posse. The Ant and the Aardvark? Forget about it. Scooby Doo? The Jetsons? Fat freakin' Albert? Need I go on?
Didn't think so. Because it's evident that this is more than just a simple case of generational bias. Cartoons today are nowhere near as good as those of my youth. Though, I suppose, there are exceptions here and there. Like SpongeBob. No question that's a good one. And Phineas and Ferb. Those guys are hysterical, as is their evil foil, Dr. Doofenshmirtz. But the vast majority are just annoying.
Which, again, makes me feel sorry for my kids. Because none of the cartoons back in my day annoyed me.
Oh. Except Woody Woodpecker.
And Scrappy Doo. (They kinda jumped the shark on that one.) But those are it when it comes to annoying.
Well, those and the Care Bears.
Wanna play? What's your favorite old-school cartoon? Least favorite? What about today's cartoons?

Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran Gets A Tea Party Challenge
It's official: Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran is the latest GOP incumbent to get a primary challenge from the right.
State Sen. Chris McDaniel announced Thursday he'll try to unseat the six-term veteran in 2014, the day after Cochran voted for the compromise to end the government shutdown and avert a debt default.
McDaniel's move wasn't completely unexpected. What's interesting, however, is the firepower behind it — influential national conservative groups such as the Senate Conservative Fund, the Club for Growth and the Madison Project are all supporting the Tea Party-aligned challenger's candidacy.
"I respect him. I grew up admiring him," McDaniel said at his announcement event.
But he criticized Cochran's vote for the deal to reopen the government after being shut down for 16 days. Cochran was one of the senators to vote 81-18 to temporarily lift the nation's borrowing limit through early February and keep the federal government funded until Jan. 15.
"I've got 17 trillion reasons not to compromise," McDaniel said.
Cochran, who will turn 76 later this year, has held the seat since 1978. He's the top Republican on the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee and sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee. He's not tipped his hand as to whether he'll seek re-election.
"Sen. Cochran has indicated that he will determine his plans regarding the 2014 election cycle later this year," said Cochran Communications Director Chris Gallegos.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Cochran had $773,953 cash on hand through the end of June — one of the lowest amounts of any senator who is up for re-election in 2014.
The Mississippi seat is considered safely Republican, so the winner of the June 2014 primary will be a heavy favorite in the general election.

After news broke that Lehman Brothers (NYSE:LEH) was filing for bankruptcy, the market took a stunning drop reminiscent of that in 1987. Not only was there an upset with Lehman Brothers, but Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) bought Merrill Lynch (NYSE:MER), causing another surprising turn of events. Now with all eyes focused on the sudden underlying market changes, traders can turn to a bearish Aroon indicator for help.
Interpretation and Use
Within the Aroon indicator, there are two lines that vary between 0 and 100. These are aptly named "Aroon Up" and "Aroon Down". The strongest downtrends will always have the Down indicator hover near the 100 point mark, while the weakest downtrends will keep this value close to a lower point (around 30). It is a useful tool to investors and traders when they need to determine if a trend will remain intact.
If you are planning to short a stock, check that the Down Aroon is crossing up through the Up Aroon, and begins moving above 70; this short sell indicator is especially useful when the market itself is in a downtrend. When scanning, look for the lines to cross in order to catch a trend change. Keep in mind that when following a bullish or bearish Aroon indicator, a trader may receive false signals. In this case, other indicators could be added to the scan to determine the cross strength.
While each trader must separately set preferences like market, price range, volume, etc., here is the scan we used to find the list of today's short candidates:[Today's Aroon UP (25) > today's Aroon DOWN (25) and 2 days ago Aroon UP (25) < 2 days ago Aroon Down (25)].
|Market Cap
|Aroon Down Value
|Anadarko Petroleum(NYSE:APC)
|Devon Energy Corporation(NYSE:DVN)
|Calpine Corporation
|Beacon Power Corporation
|Qiagen Nv
Anadarko Petroleum
Taking a look at the daily chart of Anadarko Petroleum, you'll see that it is trading below its 50-day moving average, which will likely be used by the bears as confirmation of an overall downtrend. It is important to note that is strong support near $53 (shown as the black horizontal trendline). At this point, there is a chance that the stock may find some ground and turn around; however, if the Down Aroon continues to trade above 70, it will be used to trigger another wave of selling pressure.
|Figure 1. Chart for Anadarko Petroleum
Devon Energy Corporation
The Aroon scan that we used caught the UP Aroon crossing down through the DOWN Aroon last week on the chart of the Devon Energy. At this time it was not quite a short, waiting and allowing the UP Aroon to drop to 50 is prudent before entering a trade. The DVN short is attractive below 89.00 as there is some support at this level (shown by the black horizontal trendline). The short trade was also supported by the recent decrease in oil prices. Many will expect traders to hold a bearish outlook on this stock until the Aroon indicators cross back up and the price solidly trades above the 50 day moving average (blue line).
|Figure 2. Chart for Devon Energy
Trader's Tip
Active traders can change the interval to 10 and look at the chart over 10 days for a different view, as shorter intervals are better suited to quick movements. Be sure that stocks are trading below their 50-day moving average before applying the Aroon to short. Look at any underlying commodity pricing if you are going to short a particular sector like oil or precious metals.
Wrapping It Up
Simplistic by design, the Aroon indicator is best suited for those traders and investors who not only want to determine that a trend is still intact, but want to establish if a trend will continue based news regarding recent global occurrences. As mentioned before, awareness is the key when following a bullish or bearish Aroon indicator. Always use stop losses to protect your capital in uncertain times.

What is the highest percentage of fly ash that can be used in ready-mixed concrete? Is durability the most important issue in determining the limit?
I work for the Ohio DOT. I am looking for sources of information where recycled concrete (RC) was used as aggregate in new concrete. Have you used recycled aggregate in new concrete? What was the new concrete used for? What problems did you encounter with recycled concrete as an aggregate?

At dinner the other night with a group of girlfriends, life coach Joy asked each of us, "What's calling you?" Way to get a group of giddy, slightly tipsy girls to shut up and take notice, Joy! The question stunned us into silence, but we were amazed at what came up.
What's calling me is screaming so loud that I can no longer ignore it. I'm in the throes of surrender, dropping to my knees before my calling and finally relinquishing the resistance I've been feeling for four years as I've watched the still-small voice of the Universe grow from a whisper to a rebel yell. I HEAR YOU!
My Calling
What's calling me is that I'm supposed to lead the way for people- health care practitioners and patients alike- to redefine what we consider "health." In the process, I'm supposed to empower other leaders to redefine other key parts of our wholeness, such as success, spirituality, and creativity. I am supposed to lead a movement- a Pink revolution, if you will through what we're creating at Owning Pink.
And it scares the hell out of me.
Resisting the Call
I first heard the call five years ago on my wedding day in Big Sur, California, but the message I received had no meaning to me. I knew only that something was shifting and that my life was going to change forever. The Signs from the Universe came calling, and it took three years before the message became more clear. When I realized what I was being called to do, I recoiled. I had quit my job as a doctor completely, with the intention that I would never go back. I was so disillusioned by how we practice medicine today that I decided I'd rather quit, after 12 years of education, than continue as part of a system that is so broken. I thought I would paint and write books and pursue a purely creative life.
But I discovered that you can quit your job, but you can't quit your calling. I resisted in every way possible. I denied the call. I rejected the call. I bargained with the Universe. I pleaded that someone else be chosen to do this work. I cried on my knees. I didn't want to be a trailblazer. I wanted to live this quiet life in the country with my family, rather than put myself in the spotlight and become a missionary for the purpose. I wanted to retreat, and yet I was being called to be the Universe's spokesperson.
Fast forward two years, and here I am, face to face with the call, and I'm in. Both feet. Taking one Pink leap of faith (Pleap) after another. I am – finally – obeying my call. I'm still terrified, but I'm no longer letting fear make my decisions for me.
How Do You Know When You're Being Called?
In the beginning, I didn't know I was being called. It wasn't until the small voice grew louder, and the Signs from the Universe grew unmistakable, that I finally understood. I think I was so bull-headed and resistant that the Universe had to try exceedingly hard to get my attention. But it doesn't have to be so hard. If you're in touch with the quiet voices within you, your calling can whisper in your ear, and you will here.
Tips For Finding Your Calling and Hearing The Signs From the Universe
Pay attention when you notice any of the following:
When you discover your calling, the whole world begins to feel magical. You notice a flow you never experienced before. You feel a profound sense of inner peace, even as the calling itself rocks your world into chaos. When you hear the calling and choose to ignore it, I believe that's when you suffer. A calling is not an order. It's a choice. It's an invitation. But when we choose not to listen to the call, we turn our backs on the truth of who we really are. Life will never be the same if you let fear prevent you from heeding the call.
What about you? What's calling you? What would you do if you took fear out of the equation? If someone handed you a microphone and put you in front of an audience on the last day of your life, what would you say to the world?
We're listening….
Heeding the call,
PS. Universe, you're killing me! After I wrote this post, I picked up a book to take on the plane to NY with me this weekend. It's an old book from 1997 that Mojo Mentor Jo Perron gave me to me ages ago, called Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life by Gregg Levoy. I'm eating this book up! And the first 20 pages are almost exactly what i just wrote! Freakin' me out. Check it out Pinkies. You'll LOVE this book.
Thanks for reading. Be patient with your path and remember that we all have cycles of waiting and becoming that gestate the big things that come next. You will find your way, love. Your heart already knows it.
I clicked through to this post from another... I guess I'm working with #3.Books (or blog posts!) that speak directly to where you are in your life...lol..
Am at the point where I know I'm not happy where I am and am trying to identify the place where I would be...
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing :)
Oh! I can really relate to your comment on a lot of levels. In my case it's the opposite! I've been "exiled" on the east coast for 27ish years and yearn to move "home" to San Francisco (where I was born and lived briefly as a teen). I haven't moved back because - even though my east coast hubby also desires to move there - his family and our life is here. Our boys are in High School now and his mother is elderly... we're beginning to see the day we can move our life out there, but it's still probably a decade away. We dream together about it over glasses of fine California reds... We recognize that if they boys stay on the east coast for college (where it's more affordable for us, we may be tempted to stay here longer... so we're concocting all kinds of plans to be bicoastal or put our stuff in storage for a couple of years and take an overseas assignment to save money so we can afford two houses.... or any number of crazy ideas. In the end, we just make a decision a few years at a time. For the moment, we're content to stay here until the boys go to college and decide then - based on work, finances, their plans etc. if we can start to make our move or hang tight for another 6ish years to see what happens when the boys graduate... and then we'll make another plan etc. We want to be near our boys but we also know they will fly away someday and we'll have to let them go and rely on airfare.
We decided to move out there over 10 years ago when we bought property. We've spent 10 years dreaming and hoping we'll be able to build someday. A few years ago, I think in an effort to help us both, my husband pointed out that if we couldn't move out there we could sell the property and use the money to travel there in retirement years. So that's our plan B. But neither of us want that. We want to live there!
In part out of self preservation I've learned to live with the idea I may never live there. Sometimes I meditate and simply imagine I'm there and then I am! I hold that feeling in my heart as I head back out into my "real world". It does help. And I also focus on how much of my current life I do love and concentrate on being content with that because it will change - for better or worse, it will change, so I must appreciate what I have now because I'll never have it again... Ironically, wanting so badly to move has made more appreciate where I am all the more.
So, you see you've touched a nerve and I can really relate to that hole inside that wants to be somewhere else. Best just to own it and let it bring into sharp focus all that is wonderful in your life that would change if you decided to move.
Good Luck Love, Light and Blessings ~Dana
Great Post!
I've struggled with and ignored a calling to move back to the Mid-West where family still live for over 10 yrs. I didn't then because my childrens father was here in CA. The move makes absolutely no sense to me and that is a little scary.
What does one do when it's not just about them? I have two sons in college and still depend on me. They don't want to move from the Bay Area. For me staying has been like a death sentence I've been spending a lot of time with trying to be okay with. It sounds crazy to me..lol
Deb You woke me up this morning laughing. nope. Coincidences here, girlfiend!
Love, light and morning laughter Dana
OMG! Dana...I just finished giving it a try to express my calling from the Universe! The second I posted it, I looked up and saw your comment that "yes, all paths lead to the same place in the end, so why not enjoy the scenery you're given along the way?"
Oh Sweet Lord! Now somebody tell me that this is no coincidence at all! Our Universe is the same Spirit for each of Us, and we are connected and travelling the same path...and I accused myself of just rambling!
How divine!
I just experienced the oddest warmest, most comfortable feeling at this moment...we are all each a part of each of us and together we are one!
We truly are Sisters and Brothers of the Same Family and Tribe...Owning Pink is what we have named us, and it is more than I can imagine being a part of all of you!
My love and heart is overfull and just keeps coming and coming into me more and more! Such a pleasant undescribable feeling to be so connected! No coincidences in this girls life!
yes, all paths lead to the same place in the end, so why not enjoy the scenery you're given along the way?
I wonder if our calling gets bigger and bigger the rest of our lives? what an amazing path that would be!
Yes, Dana....I've had many callings. And as you say, they morph along the way, but all have been stepping stones on the path to the bigger calling I'm just now starting to see.
My mantra these days: "I'm on the right path, even though I don't know where I'm going."
What more can we ask?
Hey Lissa, great post. It wasn't until I was in my 30's that I even knew what "the calling" felt like. I didn't recognize it, but I started following it. And I'm so glad I did. Interestingly enough, it's changed and morphed a bit over time, taking on different looks, feels and flavors... and I realize often it changes when I've actually accomplished some of my goal. As a result, I don't necessarily think of it as "A" calling anymore, but the little jewels and treats I find along the path I'm creating for myself by listening more deeply to my intuition. Maybe that's a calling, or maybe it's a ever-more-pleasant meander in the woods, I don't really know. I just know that no matter where I wander, it always has to do with bringing heart to the business world. So I suppose that's my calling, even though I still don't know what it looks like. I'm following it none the less.
Love, Light and Heart ~Dana
Thank you darling Kim. As Gregg Levoy says in his book, "the Sufi poet Kabir said our lives will be infected with a kind of 'weird failure'" if we choose not to follow our callings. "We'll feel alienated from ourselves, listless and frustrated, and fitful with boredom, the common cold of the soul."
On the flip side, if you're willing to follow your calling, you will ROCK your mojo :)
Here's to saying yes, Lissa
Oh Lissa your post really resonated with me! A calling is a choice and invitation and you can say no, but it will keep bringing you back around and asking again and again until you can accept and/or realize that The Universe is calling. Being afraid is part of our human experience. And I've found that is completely ok to be afraid or worried. But in the end, all we can do, is do our best and then leave it up to The Universe for support. You will NOT be disappointed and the sheer exhileration that comes from walking right through the fear is completely and utterly amazing and is a high like no other ... it completely compensates for any fear that was there.
And something that Heather said also rang very true for me. When I was being offered this path by The Universe, even though it was way, way out of my comfort zone, I had this intense yearning to follow. It was a feeling I had never felt before and it was overwhelming (but in a very good way) .... I never had felt so compelled to do anything like this ever before ... it was a calling that I just couldn't resist.
My life has never been the same since and time and time again The Universe shows me the way ,,, I'm still scared, but I know I will follow and do as I am led because if I put my full effort into it, The Universe will be there to help me. The rewards are endless.
The knowing that you are doing what The Universe wants of you is a wonderful, fullfilling feeling.
God bless you in your calling!
Hugs, Kim
OOh- Sheila I love the fishegg drawings! Such a calling! Check them out Pinkies: http://www.fisheggs.typepad.com
And Erin, (*holding you*) me too. I hear you sister.
WOW Lissa! Talk about cutting right to the heart of things!! that is all I can say right now... maybe when I stop crying I will be more eloquent. :-) wow!
Pure pinkspiration at the exact moment I needed it! As I watch OwningPink evolve, I am inspired by your dedication...I know it isn't easy. No doubt you rely on what you know to be fundamentally true to help you move forward. Although many twists and turns have led me to my path, I know that gaining a deeper understanding about life via fisheggs is what I was meant to do. I hope that fisheggs help to expand understanding of difficult/abstract life concepts while have a laugh. Earlier today I was tweeting with Monique who pointed me in the direction of this post. Thanks to you and the Owning Pink Peeps for helping me stay on my path :)
YES YES YES, Heather! I love what you said: "The only way I can describe it is how an artist or a writer creates a piece and almost doesn't remember doing it. The creativity was flowing through me from somewhere else. I remember describing at the time like something was physically pulling me in this direction. It was so strong that I couldn't ignore it."
I am an artist and a writer and that's exactly what happens when I'm in the creative flow. I complete something and think "What the hell just happened?" It's very magical- but also almost a wee bit creepy.
When you get out of your own way, though, the call comes through.
This post really spoke to me. Mine did not start as a whisper but as if I was thrown into a bath of ice cubes and forced to listen!
I am being called to support other mothers in their quest to recreate their idenity and reclaim their MOJO! When I became a mother my world as I knew it was turned upside down. I never struggled more. I lived for years in a fog, and when the haze was lifted...there it was, my calling. I don't even know how it happened really. Most likely because I didn't resist it. I listened, followed my intuition and let myself be guided. The only way I can describe it is how an artist or a writer creates a peice and almost doesn't remember doing it. The creativity was flowing through me from somewhere else. I remember describing at the time like something was physically pulling me in this direction. It was so strong that I couldn't ignore it. I found myself without hesitation enrolling in a coaching certification program, and started to build my business. The pull was so intense that I never questioned my decisions or doubted my calling. During this begining period I remember not being able to sleep or concentrate on anything else until I would stop and listen to the ideas, words and energy which was pulsing through me. I am a great sleeper and I can't tell you how many times I had to get out of bed and write my ideas down (it was driving my husband crazy)! As I have flowed along with my calling, I am now starting to get another...to write a book about my experiences of becoming a mother. I will be driving down the road and chapers, words and memories are flying around so fast and furiously that I have to stop the car and write. I have to add that I AM NOT A WRITER! I have never had an interst or a talent. But... the universe is telling me otherwise... Thank you for addressing this topic! I have brought it up a few times with friends and they just don't get it. It is a true experience to behold!
Hi Lissa! This post is what I needed today! Thank YOu
That's what happens Juliana! The call starts as a whisper- that still small voice that appears in dreams, that you can almost pretend isn't real. And then it speaks louder- and starts to yell.
That's how I'm feeling right now. I so wish I didn't have the grand opening of the Owning Pink Center next weekend, because i would take Gregg Levoy's workshop at Esalen! https://webapp.esalen.org/workshops/8344
Maybe some of you can enjoy...
My calling is to awaken "everyday folks" to their creativity and power, especially women. My calling is to remind everyone that they have a story to tell, and that listening to someone else's story is a powerful act of love. My calling is connecting people with their desires and gifts.
My calling is getting louder and louder...I hear it off in the distance, and it will still take some time, but in the meantime I *feel* it every day. I feel the flow, I am meeting my guides and new friends on the path, it is amazing.

For the past ten years, magician and comedian Omar Covarrubias has delighted audiences throughout the greater Los Angeles area. At nineteen, his fascination with the art of illusion compelled him to perform on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. As a street performer, the magician learned to engage spectators from all walks of life. He attributes his current success to time spent performing his first tricks in the open-air. He fine-tuned his routine in these earlier days, prior to taking the show indoors. As Covarrubias quips, "there is no fourth wall on 3rd Street!"
Over the years, Covarrubias appeared at open-mic nights and weekly magic events, such as Magic in the Valley. He traveled to Las Vegas to perform on the strip and continued entertaining at places like 3rd Street and farmers markets. As he further developed his style, Covarrubias segued from magic shows to the Los Angeles comedy circuit - a transition that was encouraged by Rudy Moreno, the "godfather" of Latin comedy. Moreno, who has hosted the Latin Comedy Showcase at the Ice House Comedy Club for twelve years, was highly impressed with Covarrubias' top-notch performance.
"In all my years I have seen comedians, magic, and performers, no one has grabbed my attention like Omar Covarrubias," Moreno says. "His style and his down-to-earth likability is what captured not only mine, but the audience's attention."
Soon after Moreno was exposed to the young magician, Covarrubias made his first appearances at the Ice House, Hollywood Laugh Factory, House of Blues, and other notable clubs. Covarrubias' routine is not traditional; he incorporates vaudevillian comedy and musical bits while calling forth constant audience participation. The versatile quality of his show allows him to appear in a variety of forums, including community festivals, fundraisers, and sideshow-type showcases. When Covarrubias appears at office parties or private events, the reaction is overwhelmingly favorable. He often brings his audience in on his jokes, only to surprise them moments later. The magician's warmth and charisma puts the crowd at ease, and expectations are increasingly surpassed as the show unfolds.
All the while, Covarrubias' priority is to ensure that everyone enjoys the experience. "At a party, I always wanted to be the one to break the ice," he explains. "When people are staring at each other, I was the one to say, 'Come on guys, let's do something!' Similarly, my job as a performer is not done until everyone is smiling and laughing."
The active and ambitious Covarrubias continues to appear throughout the Los Angeles area. As he prepares for the next show, he is always looking for unexpected opportunities and avenues to share his humor and magic.

Ford F-150 owners have reported 54 problems related to engine knocking noise (under the engine and engine cooling category).
My truck felt like it was driving really well, I was driving from a to b which was about 6 miles. Im almost home & I stop at a light,when it turned green I accelerated &when I did I heard a knocking sound&so I pulled over& I couldn't pin point exactly where it was coming from,just it was coming from the back of the engine on the right side. Im guessing maybe the 3rd or 4th spark plug. I checked my oil I was maybe 1quart low. So hoping that was it, I bought a quart&some oil repair to go in with it. The guy at autozone thought the same. As u could guess that didn't work. It sound almost like a lawn mower. Which is baffling cuz there was no warning, no check engine light,no prior noise. I'm lost. I've been reading about spiting spark plugs&a lot of the same stuff happening in these trucks. I'm wondering if there was a recall? if not why? if there are complaints from over 1000 people saying the exact samething,why hunt Ford done anything about it?I use this truck to take my71 year old vietnam veteran grandpa to his dr appointments&use it for work. From what I'm reading no one is gonna help but I have to try. Please let me know if there is any advice or hopefully do the right thing & help me work with the dealership I bought the truck from. My# is 6614419336. Thanks.
See all problems of the 2004 Ford F-150.
Purchased this vehicle used from a well known and popular dealer in utah. We did not note any noises during the test ride and vehicle appeared in great condition. On the drive home (of course) we stopped for dinner. Noticed a loud knocking noise coming from the engine. This continued and worsened and we feared the vehicle would stall. The problem subsided when the rpm's increased slightly. We were able to duplicate the problem repeatable in a parking lot at low speeds and low rpms. Specifically when turning left and the problem worsened when the 4x4 was selected. I video taped the engine noise as proof for the dealership. Doing research we have noted that this is a common problem with the 2009 f150 5. 4 l. Range of problems described as either cam phaser or internal engine problem. Corrections have been noted as either cam phaser replacements (not very helpful) or full engine replacement. Taking the vehicle back to the dealer this morning to return.
See all problems of the 2009 Ford F-150.
I am now a victim of the 2004-2008 5. 4l cam phaser problem. It started out when I came to a stop light and the truck started shacking really bad and making a loud knocking sound. As soon as I accelerated it went away so I thought it was a fluke. Nope!! it stated doing it more and more but I was not getting a check engine light. Finally the light came on and gave me the code p0012-intake camshaft position timing over retarded on bank 1. The only place to take it was Ford because they have the most up to date and complete diagnostics tool. It is still in the shop right now but to look at the phasers to see if I need both it is running me $600 just for them to remove the valve covers to look. He said it was going to cost me close to $1500 just to fix the issue! I have read all over the internet about this issue and it seems like Ford know about this issue because in 2013 they got sued because of this same problem! if you look 2004 has the most complaints of every year by far! please stay away from the 5. 4l engine or Ford in general. I don't even want to get started with the spark plugs that break in the engine if you don't know what you are doing. That was another $600 bill that Ford had to do. The 4wd system as well had many issues with the iwe because its a vacuum system and was brand new in 2004. To many problems with Ford!.
Driving at normal speed (45 mph), no abnormal noises or vibrations present. Loud bang noise came from within engine bay, and truck began to sputter and stumble very badly. Check engine light came on and preceded to flash, put truck into neutral and rolled to the side of the road where truck was shut off. Excessive fuel was found on top of the engine at the third cylinder from the front on the passenger side (4. 6l v8 engine). Spark plug was separated from the wire and lying on top of engine. Spark plug boot was melted and smoking suggesting it was previously burning. Spark plug was %100 covered by burnt sooty material.
See all problems of the 1997 Ford F-150.
The truck have only 55k miles which the engine should not have any problems but this is a very common problem which should be a recall. It's known for the camshaft phasers to start making a knocking noise and make the vehicle sound like a diesel truck. I don't think it's right that we pay tons of money for a vehicle and we have problems like this that cost us customers more money. I've done some research and I'm not the only person with this problem. Please take the time to review this problem because there are many other customers out there with this problem and cant afford to have it fixed. Even with the aftermarket parts the cam phasers go back out again after 60 miles.
Upon accelerating from a stop 4or 5 loud knocking sounds were heard and felt, and engine power loss was experienced. I let off throttle to reduce knocking sound,which sounded like turbo wastegate possibly, and engine shook and had reduced power for several miles. Temperature outside was warm and dry. I had been driving vehicle for over an hour before problem. It has had reduced power and minor shaking before,but nothing like this. Fortunately no other vehicles were coming. I do notice wastegate poping off on short,steep hills more lately. I have the ecoboost engine. Have not been to dealer yet, but have appt soon.

I had just changed the oil and checked the fluids and had to run some errands up town about a mile and a half up the road the engine started making a knocking noise, I was close enough to the garage I use so I pulled in there to see what was going on the oil pan was on fire oil and what looked like anti freeze was coming out of a hole from what use to be the oil pan or what was left of the pan, the fellow that ran the station told me it had hydro locked and bent a rod and pushed it thru the oil pan, he went on to say he had seen several of the 4. 2 do this and it looked like Ford wold have done something when they were aware of the problems with the 4. 2,I talked to Ford about it and got the run around from them, just couldn't believe it I had never pulled or hauled any heavy objects or mistreated it in any way, don't understand when the powers that be were aware of the problem with this engine the consumer was left holding the bag to a tune of thousands of dollars in repairs, now got to do with out to try and save the money to get it fixed, mostly used the truck to get my wife back and forth to the dr. She has m/s and a heart condition, the poor always catch it if there was anything to Ford they would make it good and the same goes for the NHTSA they know the problem is there just look at the Ford forms, but god always makes a way just have to wait and see what his plan are, alot of folks like us have no family so we take care of or trucks, it sure wasn't abuse that cause the problem.
See all problems of the 2005 Ford F-150.
There is a knocking sound coming from the motor already replaced the catalytic converters and O2 sensors and the sound is still there with the check engine light on. When the truck gains some speed the truck shakes don't feel real safe driving it long distances.

I keep having major issues with my truck ejecting spark plugs from the engine which is breaking not only my spark plugs but my coil pack as well. This is rediculious. The first time I was at a light at a dead stop when I hear a loud banging noise like something exploded then my truck started running rough and had to get it towed. It stranded us 45 minutes from home. The second time was two days ago on March 18 I was driving through a drive thru again at a dead stop and heard a loud noise and had the same issue. Again my spark plug was ejected and coil pack broken. The first time was in cylinder 1 and was repaired then one month later the next time cylinder 2 ejected. 5 minutes after it was repaired and had new plug and coil pack it again ejected. Im upset because I can no longer drive my truck. If Ford doesnt fix this I willnever purchase another Ford. Now it is useless sitting in my garage takin up space.

As vehicle warms up after driving several miles coming to a stop. The engine begins to knock attempting to stall out. When giving the vehicle gas it kicks almost causing several auto accidents. I have taken the vehicle to several mechanics replacing the cam phasers due to a code. The issue is still happening and the code still says replace cam phaser. From what I understand I'm not the only one with this problem which can't be fixed. As far as the knocking sound the Ford dealership has told me its a Ford triton that's the knocking sound im hearing. But from mechanics the sound is from air escaping from the bottom of the engine is a common problem with the vehicle. Ford refuses to accept the defect fixing issues since buying the vehicle new in 2004.
Engine makes a knocking noise. I was told by a Ford dealer that they can't repair it because Ford doesn't know what is wrong with the engine. I was told by Ford dealer to drive it till it quits. The engine could lock up at any time, possibly on the highway which could cause an accident to occur. I called Ford customer service and was told there was nothing they can do.

See all problems of the 2006 Ford F-150.
On September 28th 2010 I was driving from indianapolis, in to louisville, ky on a very busy I-65 interstate. At approximately 4pm I heard a very loud pop and lost all power. I could hear a very loud banging noise and at first I thought I blew a tire. I immediately tried to get from the fast lane to the emergency lane but with as many cars on the road this was difficult. I finally made it to the emergency lane and turned my flashers on. When I got out of my vehicle I checked for a flat tire but that was not the issue. I restarted the truck and lifted the hood of my engine. I noticed that one of my coil power packs was at a weird angle. When I went to check if it was still attached the compression of my number 2 cylinder blew the spark plug the rest of the way out of the engine and hit my hood very narrowly missing my head. The coil was also destroyed by the force of the spark plug coming out of the cylinder. My truck is a 2002 Ford F-150 with less than 100k miles. This is a very dangerous issue that needs to be corrected.
The contact owns 2001 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited an abnormally loud knocking noise from the front end of the vehicle. The contact inspected under the hood and noticed that the spark plug located nearest to the driver side had disengaged from the coil head without warning. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where a helium coil kit was installed. A few months later, the same failure recurred and the engine was replaced by the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000. Consumer is still having problems with the aluminum head. Updated 11/10/2011.
The contact owns a 2001 Ford F-150. While driving 40 mph the contact heard a banging noise in the engine and the vehicle started to lose power.

The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic to have the vehicle repaired. The contact is concerned that a crash could have occurred when the spark plugged popped out of the engine. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 98,000.

This looks out of focus and/or unsharpened... And the subject matter isn't that exciting.
Remember that the "hand-holding" rule is doubled for Four Thirds, so for easy handholding at 45mm focal length you'll want 1/90s or faster shutter speed. (There are plenty of photos posted here by people handholding much slower speeds than that rule suggests, but I think that takes practice - I'm certainly not that good at it myself.)
Also, if you down-size images for posting on the web, they really need to be resharpened (using Unsharp/USM in the GIMP or Photoshop).

There is an unofficial work around by changing the RogueMP3 files that should allow your projects to build and upload. The following procedure is reported by several people to work but may have issues and thus should be used with caution. This has been tested with 1.0.1 but should work for all 1.0+ versions.
After downloading the Arduino-Library-RogueMP3-V0003.zip, unzip it and modify the following files before adding it to your Arduino installation.
In the file RogueMP3.h change line 155:
void write(uint8_t); // needed for Print
size_t write(uint8_t); // needed for Print
In the file RogueMP3.cpp change line 518:
void RogueMP3::write(uint8_t c)
size_t RogueMP3::write(uint8_t c)
The reason for this is the Arduino folks changed the write function from no return value to return a number of characters written.
The library will work with earlier versions of firmware for the uMP3 (≤ 110.12), but performance will be better with later firmware. Information on updating module firmware can be found here:
// Example for connecting to a Rogue Robotics uMP3. // Arduino pin 4 is connected to the uMP3's "T" pin // pin 5 is connected to the uMP3's "R" pin #include <NewSoftSerial.h> #include <RogueMP3.h> NewSoftSerial ump3_serial(4, 5); RogueMP3 ump3(ump3_serial); void setup() { ump3_serial.begin(9600); ump3.sync(); }

With their "No Country Old Men" nominated for 8 Academy Awards, 4 of which are for themselves, Joel and Ethan Coen are heading into Sunday's ceremony in an unlikely position: the overwhelming front runners. Having won a slew of critics awards, the DGA, the PGA, the SAG ensemble and an assortment of BAFTAs and Golden Globes, "No Country" -- which debuted last year at the Cannes Film Festival -- seems like a tough choice to bet against. Twenty-three years and twelve features after they debuted with "Blood Simple," it seems Hollywood is ready to give quite the embrace to the brothers Coen.
The Coens dominate with an unusually high number of records and trivia that could transpire on Sunday night. With four nominations (producing, directing, screenwriting, and editing under pseudonym Roderick Jaynes), the Coens have the potential to tie Walt Disney's record of four Oscars in one night. While the editing award would be one statuette engraved to Mr. Jaynes (thus maintaining Disney's sole technical ownership of the record), the Coens would do something Disney did not: win all four awards for the same film.
Other potential Oscar trivia includes sound mixer Kevin O'Connell's first win after a record-setting 20 nominations for "Transformers." His previous nominations range from "Terms of Endearment" to "Twister" to "Memoirs of a Geisha." His main competition this year seems to come from "No Country," whose sound team picked up the telling Cinema Audio Society Award this past week.
Acting nominees Ruby Dee and Hal Holbrook both have the potential, at 83 and 82 respectively, to become the oldest winners in their categories' history. Holbrook already holds the distinction of being the oldest male acting nominee of all-time. The best actress category features a trio of possible winners, each with a record-setting agenda. "La Vie En Rose"'s Marion Cotillard would become the first foreign-language best actress winner since Sophia Loren won in 1961, while "Juno"'s Ellen Page could take Marlee Matlin's distinction of the youngest winner in the category, and she may also become the first Canadian to win a lead acting prize since the 1928-1930 hat trick of Mary Pickford, Norma Shearer and Marie Dressler. Oddly enough, her favored competition, "Away From Her"'s British-born Julie Christie, would become the first acting winner ever from a Canadian production (in addition to having the longest period - 42 years - between wins).
Christie is the likely winner according to the mass amount of online predictions: The Gurus o' Gold, which includes indieWIRE's Eugene Hernandez, offer their annual predictions, while Variety's Kris Tapley and the folks at Entertainment Weekly offer theirs. The Film Jerk has a formula for his guesswork, and Sasha Stone's AwardsDaily makes things easy by composing a nice big chart.
There is a definite consensus in most major categories: Christie for actress (though there is some arguable support for Cotillard and Page); "No Country" for picture, director, adapted screenplay and best supporting actor Javier Bardem;Diablo Cody for original screenplay; And, in perhaps the biggest lock since, well, Helen Mirren for "The Queen", Daniel-Day Lewis for best actor in "There Will Be Blood." There are the occasional strays from these choices (though I'm very confident arguers for George Clooney or Hal Holbrook will find one's foot in ones mouth on Sunday night), but for the most part, things seem clear.
However, Oscar pundits and analysts from online, print and otherwise all seem unusually flustered regarding one category: best supporting actress. Entertainment Weekly says Tilda Swinton; the Gurus call Cate Blanchett, Sasha Stone says Ruby Dee. This debacle is furthered by the BAFTA, Globe and SAG splitting in the same aforementioned order. Add to that the overwhelming critical support for "Gone Baby Gone"'s Amy Ryan and this acting race is probably the most contested in at least a decade. One thing working in Ryan and Dee's favor is that it is essentially up to them to represent an American, as Day-Lewis, Bardem and Christie (as well as Christie's two main competitors) were all born outside the country. Personally, I'm pegging Swinton (for a variety of reasons including the Academy's obvious love for "Clayton" and a need to reward it somewhere) and the first all-foreigner winning actor's quartet since 1964's Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews, Peter Ustinov and Lila Kedrova. But many argue the award is Blanchett's to lose (which would still keep with the all-foreign theme), resulting in something that I'd never would have thought to happen: An almost-perfect correlation in acting winners between indieWIRE's critic's poll and the Oscars.
With that in mind, "indie" and Oscar are not as conjoined as it may appear this year. Though films with directors like Paul Thomas Anderson and the Coens leading the nomination pack may suggest otherwise, both films (each co-productions of Miramax and Paramount Vantage) were ineligible for Saturday's Film Independent Spirit Awards due to their over-the-cut-off budgets. The only best picture nominee that also was honored in that category at the Spirits, oddly, was "Juno." Which means the most "independent" of the five best pictures is a $130 million+ grossing pop culture juggernaut. While "Indiewood" abounds throughout the nominations (and likely winners), more definitively "independent" films are slight. Arguable examples like Julian Schnabel's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" has four nominations going into the ceremony, while Todd Haynes's "I'm Not There" and Sarah Polley's "Away From Her" are likely (or not) to be the lowest budget films to take home a golden guy in the so-called "bigger" categories.
In the other categories, one absolutely independent film that isn't in the documentary or short categories with a good shot at Oscar: John Carney's "Once," seems likely to surpass a trio of nominations for "Enchanted" to win best original song for its stars-songwriters Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. And in the controversially chosen documentary and foreign-language film categories, it seems documentary is a heated race between Michael Moore's "Sicko" and Charles Ferguson's "No End In Sight" (though watch out for Alex Gibney's "Taxi To The Darkside," which won the WGA's documentary award), while Stefan Ruzowitzky's Austrian Holocaust drama "The Counterfeiters" will likely make use of Oscar's tendency toward its themes and its inexcusable exclusion of superior films such as "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" and "Persepolis," to take the country's first-ever win.
In the end, I suppose all Oscar enthusiasts should be pleased with the simple fact that they'll be watching a fully-executed, picket-free ceremony Sunday night. And if a song from "Enchanted" wins or a poorly-produced montage runs a little long, remember that you could have been watching Billy Bush announce the winners from the set of Access Hollywood.
And, for those curious, or involved in Oscar pool battles, I'll leave you with a full list of my winner predictions, for what they're worth:

District says no thanks to free meals program
Schools opt out of community eligibility program because administrators say lunch benefits don't outweight other lost funds.
July 25—Clarke County public schools will take a pass on a new free-lunch-for-all federal program, at least for now.
Under the "Healthy, Hunger-free Kids" act of 2010, school districts with high levels of students who qualify for free or reduced lunchroom prices can opt to offer free lunches to all students this year.
The Clarke County School District easily qualifies.
Since 2003, the percent of pupils in Clarke schools who qualify for free or reduced lunch has jumped from 64 percent in 2003 to 82 percent as of 2013, according to the National Center for Educational Statistics.

The Good Wife, Channel Ten, 9.30pm
The law firm of Lockhart/Gardner is back in business. Having escaped bankruptcy, the joint is jumpin' - furniture is being delivered, paintings hung, and vases filled with fresh flowers. Amid the buzz, newly promoted partner Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) is becoming accustomed to her more senior status while dealing with a trial involving client Lemond Bishop (Mike Colter), a charismatic yet menacing drug lord. In ''Runnin' with the Devil'', written by Meredith Averill and directed by the capable Christopher Misiano, this classy legal drama continues to do what it has been doing so confidently for four and a half addictive seasons. It keeps the momentum pumping, the stakes high and the morality murky.
The Elegant Gentleman's Guide to Knife Fighting (Series premiere), ABC1, 9pm
Darren Gilshenan, playing Uncle Terry, and Patrick Brammall, as Sean, both shone in the ABC's sitcom gem A Moody Christmas in 2012. So it's easy to understand why the comedy's creators, Phil Lloyd and Trent O'Donnell, would be inspired to give them prominent roles in their new sketch show. In an ensemble that also features Damon Herriman, Georgina Haig and Robin McLeavy, the pair play multiple roles, with Brammall particularly well cast as a Prius-driving sociopath and Gilshenan as a health and safety officer going through the motions on a porn-film set. The show features long-form sketches and has a prickly, dark and pleasingly unsettling edge. But, at least on the basis of a cut of the opener available for preview, some of the sketches go on too long.
Blue Bloods, One, 9.30pm
A competent and traditional drama, Blue Bloods follows the fortunes of a family and a city. The Reagans are a big, loud, messy and loving Irish Catholic brood comprising four generations of cops. Tom Selleck, who's aged well since his days as Magnum, P.I., stands tall and solid at the show's centre as the New York City police commissioner, a figure of authority and a man who oozes honour and integrity. In this episode, his district attorney granddaughter Erin (Bridget Moynahan) is courted by a suspected art thief and there's the investigation of the death of an Indian woman who fell from her apartment window.
Tractor Monkeys, ABC1, 8.30pm
Interactive fun with Merrick Watts and guests.

Kyle Korver was the premier sharpshooter in the NBA this year. Averaging six three-point attempts per game, he knocked down an astounding 47.2 percent of them! Shooting this high of an average from downtown is impressive no matter how many attempts you take, but Korver shot almost 400. Because of this, anytime he steps onto the court, the opposing team's defense has to take note and devote special attention, lest they get burned.
Through the first two games of the Hawks' first round series against the Pacers, Korver had struggled to get going. He was just 3-11 from three and had scored just 15 points total. In Game 3, however, he was feeling it; he dropped 20 points on 4-7 from deep.
Here, we'll look at how the Hawks freed Korver for one of those threes and the importance it had in their victory.
First, let's get a sense of how the game was going up until this Korver triple. Since about mid-way through the third quarter, Atlanta had held a comfortable lead, the advantage reaching a dozen after two Lou Williams free throws with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. From there, though, the Pacers went on a run, cutting the lead down to just four in a matter of minutes. The Hawks—without a doubt the less talented team—were on the ropes. A few more baskets and the Pacers could have tied or taken the lead. And at that point, there's a good chance Indiana could be setting 2-1 up in the series this morning instead of Atlanta. That obviously didn't happen, however, thanks in large part to what transpired after the lead was chopped down to four.
Kyle Korver, while an amazing shooter, isn't a guy who is going to create his own shot all the time; most of his threes come off of catch-and-shoot opportunities. This is fine, but it does affect the Hawks' ability to get him the ball on occasion. An out-of-bounds play, therefore, is a perfect opportunity to get Korver an open look from a set play, and that's exactly what the Hawks did here. They were in desperate need of a basket, and so they devised a plan to get one from their best shooter.
It begins with Korver inbounding the ball and the rest of the team set up in a bit of a diamond formation on the left side of the court.
Pero Antic then pops out to the corner, and Jeff Teague sets a back-pick for DeMarre Carroll, who cuts to the basket. The action with Carroll, however, is simply a diversion, used to distract the Pacers from the real agenda, and Korver inbounds the ball to Antic.
As Carroll is cutting, Antic quickly swings the ball to Teague, who has made his way to the top of the key. Immediately following the pass to Teague, Antic prepares to set a screen for Korver.
Antic sets a great screen, which Korver comes flying off of. In a split second, Korver stopped on a dime, received the pass from Teague, pivoted and let fly a sweet three. It swished through the net and became a four-point play as C.J. Watson fouled Korver, who drained the free throw.
Even though Indiana was probably expecting a look from Korver here, it didn't matter because the Hawks executed a great play and Korver is just too good from downtown.
It was a huge basket that put an abrupt stop to Indiana's mini run and got the Hawks back on track. Suddenly the Hawks' lead had sprung to eight, and Phillips Arena was alive once again.

From what I have read [from this site and from ampedbike.com] it is not advisable to use aluminum frames. Is there any way at all my bike can be converted to electric power that I haven't considered????
I have a frame that my specs say is made of "superlight ALUXX Butted Fluidform Aluminum." It has mechanical disc brakes and there are no shock absorbers.
It is a Giant Transport LX, which is a kind of heavy duty cargo bike.
I have tried to post a pic several times but apparently my computer is smarter than me. I have sent an email to the webmaster inquiring about posting pics, but as John Lennon once said there was "No Reply."
Thanks in advance.

Fox Orders Second Season of Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy
May 20, 2005 12:05 AM by Joe Blackmon
FOX has ordered a second season of TRADING SPOUSES: MEET YOUR NEW MOMMY. In season two of the unscripted series, more moms and dads will try out the ultimate life change, leaving their own family to take over – for one week – a family much different from their own. While some parents are welcomed with open arms, others face mutiny from their new household. For all involved it's the ultimate chance to find out if the grass actually is greener on the other side.
Families participating in the show will again receive a $50,000 prize but, unbeknownst to the participants, how the cash is spent will be up to the surrogate parent. The twist is one of many in the unscripted FOX series that ups the ante on the classic fish-out-of-water story.
TRADING SPOUSES: MEET YOUR NEW MOMMY is from Rocket Science Laboratories, the producers of "My Big Fat Obnoxious FiancÔ and "Joe Millionaire." Jean-Michel Michenaud and Chris Cowan serve as executive producers. Jeff Cvengros is co-executive producer. Charles Duncombe serves as executive in charge of production.

After collecting field samples from bodies of water known or suspected to contain live zebra mussels at any life stage, all field equipment used to collect those samples, or that was in some way in contact with the body of water, should be thoroughly cleaned before moving to another site outside the known range of the zebra mussel. Whenever practical, the least infested (or least likely to be infested) sites should be sampled first to reduce the risk of accidentally infecting a new area during sampling. If sampling is being performed to determine whether zebra mussels are present at a given site, assume that they are present and thoroughly clean all sampling equipment before moving to another site outside the known range.
Methods for equipment decontamination
Large equipment (boats, trailers, etc.)
Boat hull surfaces, anchors, and trailers:
Regardless of which option is used for cleaning, visual inspection must follow with special attention being paid to: 1) cracks and crevices in which mussels may become trapped, and 2) aquatic macrophytes harboring juvenile mussels that may be present on trailers or propellers. Particular attention must be paid to trailer pads made of carpet and foam rubber, which could trap tiny mussels. If possible, such material should be removed from trailers before doing work in zebra mussel-infested waters.
Acceptable methods for disinfection
Chemical disinfection: This depends on the concentration used and the contact time. Since adult zebra mussels can close up and survive for extended periods of time under toxic external conditions, chemical disinfecting as a means to kill adult mussels may require a contact time of several days. It must be confirmed that the solution chosen is 100-percent effective in killing live zebra mussels within the contact time adopted. This determination should be completed at the beginning of the proposed research, and documentation of the test method used and observations confirming mortality should be retained and made available upon request. Suitable procedures for solution, contact time, and life-stage effectiveness documented in peer-reviewed scientific literature may be adopted by reference without further testing.
Heat: Temperature and exposure time determine the effectiveness of temperature treatments. Live steam, autoclaving, or boiling are all believed to be 100-percent effective against all zebra mussel life stages, as well as potential parasites they may contain. Minimum exposure times of
3 min at full heat for individual mussels and 10 min for clusters are recommended.
Freezing: Adult zebra mussels have a relatively low tolerance to freezing. Clarke et al. (1993) reported 100-percent mortality when individual mussels were exposed to -10 şC for as little as 1.3 hr. However, clusters of mussels were more tolerant than individuals and the corresponding freezing mortality exposure time at -10 şC appears to be at least 4 hr.
Physical: Crushing is an effective way to kill adult mussels, but may not be effective against attached larval or juvenile stages. Therefore, crushed adult remains should also be exposed to a chemical disinfectant solution prior to final disposal.
Desiccation: Desiccation is effective if allowed to continue for a long enough period of time. There are reports that live adult zebra mussels have survived for up to 21 days out of water under ideal conditions in a controlled laboratory setting. However, complete desiccation and exposure to warm dry air and/or direct sunlight should be effective in a week or less, but must be confirmed.
Approximate concentrations and contact times necessary to kill zebra mussels are presented below. The guidelines presented in the table are believed to be adequate to obtain 100-percent mortality for the veliger stage and may also be adequate for the other life stages, including juvenile and adult mussels. However, researchers are advised to test whichever procedures(s) they decide to use to assure 100% mortality. The use of lower concentrations or shorter contact times must be justified by experimental results conducted by the researchers.

I am looking for some specific advice about pushing from a trailer. I see it mentioned in other threads, but I'm hoping maybe people with experience will weigh in pro and con. It could serve me, as a 20 inch hub motor wheel could be the front wheel on my recumbent (rans rocket), and also could go on a BoB trailer and be attached to my wife's upright.
But, of course, I've never been pushed down the road on my bike at 20 miles an hour. I understand the theoretical dangers (as noted in several posts), but sometimes such theories don't actually hold up in practice.
Anyone willing to offer experiences? Many thanks in advance. I'm dying to get myself and my family out of the car and onto our bikes more often!

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) blogs
on the "myth of scarcity."
In America today, we are encouraged to believe in the myth of scarcity – that there just isn't enough – of anything. But in the story of the miracle of the loaves and fishes, Jesus, who the Muslims call Isa, found himself preaching to 5000 (not including the women by the way) at dinner time, and there didn't appear to be enough food. The disciples said that there were only five barley loaves and two fish. We just have to send them away hungry. We simply don't have enough. But Jesus took the loaves and the fish and started sharing food. There was enough for everyone. There was more than enough. What was perceived as scarcity was illusory as long as there was sharing, and not hoarding. …
If scarcity is a myth, then poverty is not necessary. America need not have 37 million Americans living below the poverty line. It is a choice. Hunger is a choice. Exclusion of the stranger, the immigrant, or the darker other is a choice.

The M16 uses the 5.56mm NATO (.223) caliber cartridge, with a muzzle velocity (the speed of bullet leaving the rifle) of over 900 meters per second (over 3,000 feet per second), and has a maximum effective range (the maximum distance that the bullet is deadly) of 550 meters,[6] with a rate of fire (how fast the gun shoots) of approximately 800 rounds per minute. The M16A1 can shoot fully automatic and semi automatic; other versions have three-round-burst fire and semi-automatic, and the M4A1 Carbine retains full automatic and semi automatic fire. The M16 normally holds 30 bullets in its magazine, but there are variants of the magazine that hold only 20 bullets.
There is also an M16 variant for the Canadian Army called Diemaco C-7. The Diemaco C-7 rifles have maple leaves on the left side.

Barb and Bob Ferne from OBS Speciality Vehicles and Martin Marek from Farber Speciality Vehicles sat down with conference attendees. There were two Q&A sessions. Our bookmobile vendors have taken the time to learn how libraries use bookmobiles. They know what the special manufacturing requirements are for the added weight distributions and additional structural needs of the vehicle. Sprinter and similar type vehicles were discussed.
