It's great golf for a great cause – fans buying tickets for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship can designate nonprofit Scottsdale Healthcare Foundation as their charity of choice through the Tickets Fore Charity Program.
The Champions Tour event is Oct. 31 – Nov. 4 on the Cochise Course at The Desert Mountain Club in Scottsdale. Tickets purchased at ScottsdaleHealthcareTickets.org can be designated to benefit Scottsdale Healthcare Foundation and proceeds will support the nonprofit Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH) clinics, an affiliate of Scottsdale Healthcare.
Tom Lehman, winner of the 2011 Schwab Cup, supports the work that charities like NOAH carry out for children.
"Scottsdale Healthcare is participating in the Tickets Fore Charity program where 100% of the net proceeds will support the underserved in our community through its NOAH clinics. The work that charities like NOAH carry out for children is especially important to me," said Lehman. "Scottsdale Healthcare is special for several other reasons – three of my children were born there."
Valley golfers have long supported health care for underserved families through Scottsdale Healthcare Foundation's annual Golf Classic, a charity pro-am that raises funds for Scottsdale Healthcare's NOAH clinics.
Starting with a single nurse practitioner traveling between schools in the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley school districts in 1996, Scottsdale Healthcare's NOAH program added a mobile clinic in 2001 and now operates several onsite health centers in Scottsdale and Phoenix. NOAH has provided health services to more than 30,000 individuals.
NOAH clinics are designated Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alikes (FQHC-LA), which make quality primary care services more available and affordable to low-income, underserved and special populations.
Designated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, FQHC-LAs provide a medical home for patients in need so they can receive coordinated care. They also serve to improve public health, reduce the burden of non-urgent care services in hospital emergency rooms and provide needed services such as free immunizations for uninsured children.
NOAH operates as a 501c3 in affiliation with Scottsdale Healthcare and governed by an independent community-based board. To learn more about Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH) visit noahhelps.org.
Be sure to go to ScottsdaleHealthcareTickets.org and select Scottsdale Healthcare Foundation as your designated charity. Any Day Grounds Tickets for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship are $20.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012, Scottsdale Healthcare is the locally-based nonprofit parent organization of Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center, Scottsdale Healthcare Shea Medical Center and Scottsdale Healthcare Thompson Peak Hospital, Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare, Scottsdale Healthcare Research Institute and Scottsdale Healthcare Foundation. A leader in medical innovation, talent and technology, Scottsdale Healthcare is the largest employer in Scottsdale, Arizona. For more information, visit www.shc.org.

Berlin is Germany's capital and when you book a flight to Berlin with Qatar Airways, you'll find yourself in a city packed with cultural interest. Although badly damaged during the closing stages of the Second World War, Berlin has been completely reconstructed and is now one of the most vibrant modern cities in Europe.
Many of the top attractions are in the city centre and easily reached on foot during the course of a day's visit. Fly to Berlin and immerse yourself in one of Europe's great cities.
Berlin is especially rich in museums and on your trip to Berlin, you shouldn't miss the Museen Charlottenburg complex and the Kulturforum near the famous Potsdamer Platz. There are also many private art galleries such as the Art Centre Berlin Friedrichstrasse, and historic buildings like the Berliner Dom and Marienkirche, home to Berlin's highest spire. The Brandenburg Gate is an iconic monument at the heart of the city.
Any trip to Berlin should also include a visit to the Siegessäule victory column in the Tiergarten. At 60 metres high, it offers panoramic views of the city. The Kollhoff Tower in Potsdamer Platz also has a good observation deck.
There are plenty of things for you to do during a trip to Berlin. There are various tours of the city, and for a pleasant walk, take a stroll around the Tiergarten, the biggest park here, or Viktoriapark, which has some of the finest views across Berlin. There is also a popular beach at 'Berlin's bath tub', the Wannsee.
If you're a fan of the theatre, you'll be spoilt for choice when you book a trip to Berlin. The most popular classical theatre is the Deutsches Theatre, with contemporary acts in the Berliner Ensemble. English language shows can be seen in the English Theatre Berlin. There are also four opera houses, the most prestigious being the Deutsche Oper.
Dining out in Berlin is relatively inexpensive when compared to other parts of Western Europe. The best area for eating is Hackescher Markt on Oranienburger Strasse. With many small restaurants featuring old Art Deco furniture, it is particularly pleasant in the evenings.
For 5-star dining, head to City West, where you'll find some top quality restaurants, particularly on Potsdamer Platz.
Should you be travelling to Berlin with shopping as your priority, you're in for a real treat. One of the main shopping streets here is Tauentzienstrasse, which specialises in luxury goods. Just north of the Hackesche Markt is a popular area for up-market shopping, while Prenzlauer Berg has many good designer shops.
There are also many large shopping malls in Berlin that house hundreds of smaller shops, such as Alexa in Alexanderplatz and the Ring Centre in Friedrichshain.
Qatar Airways flights to Berlin arrive at Tegel International Airport.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Berlin please check the visa and passport requirements.

You have to hear what he says about the "rockstar effect".
"Yale researches social nightclub behaviour with a particular emphasis on music and how it affects people at an implicit level. With a background in biology, psychology, and sociology, Yale investigates such topics as how music can affect bar sales and people's ability to multitask, how it determines listening patterns, and how the stock market can affect mood, which in turn predicts the characteristics of popular music." – TEDxTalks

Q. Our company produces components made from mild steel that are nickel/zinc plated. We have been asked to investigate the possibility of over-plating of a tin strip on these parts. Can this be done, and can it be done selectively? F.P.
A. The simple answer is that, yes, it can be done. You can plate tin over a zinc-nickel layer. The more complicated aspect of this is plating a layer selectively over the zinc-nickel deposit. Selective plating is very common in the electronics industry, but without knowing more details about the processes you are currently using, I cannot give you a more definitive answer.

Digging In
So, now that you've been introduced and hopefully become inspired by the last post introducing the NSVRC library, I was hoping to take you on a tour of what you might find within the library website. I won't bore you with some lengthy drawn out step by step process that will leave you more confused than anything else. Instead, I simply wanted to highlight a couple of things that may prove useful.
Have you ever checked out your local library's catalog on their website? You will notice that the NSVRC library catalog has many of those very same search options. However, if you check out the top of the page, you will find a section called, 'lists.' If you hover over it, a drop down menu will appear listing out a couple of options. Of these options, I want to emphasize one called, 'New Titles.' If you dare to click on this option, it will bring you to a listing of the newest cataloged materials categorized by month and year. Everything that has been currently added to the library will appear before your eyes.
What is also highly useful, is that many of the lists have direct links to FREE information online. Regardless of if you choose to explore the catalog or not, I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of the fabulous lists you have access to and the many options you may have to access our fabulous resources. Explore to your heart's content!

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated July 14th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: Now we have talked with the master masons masha'Allah, we've sat down upstairs and had a conversation. Masha'Allah they actually are all over the world and held an amazing sway over the intellectual circles. I mean they are holding sway even over the most unexpected places, masha'Allah. Yet they have said "it is not possible to do this on our own Master." I mean that is not something that could be solved solely with freemasonry or solely with this or that. They said; "this is to be done in coalescence." Brotherhood, love, peace, democracy, art, benevolence, aesthetics, decency, kindness, everything that is beautiful.. Allah, all these are tried to be obstructed, that is hard to believe. Let this world be like heaven. Why should there be ignominy? Why should there be bloodshed and abusive talk? We browse the internet and see that one cursing this one, this one cursing the other. Compliment the others and let them compliment you. Add beautiful pictures, let there be beautiful people around and praise those beautiful people. I mean why should there be bloodshed in Syria? Why should Syria kill three hundred people, five hundred people? Let Damascus be a festive place, let Syria bi a festive place. I am astonished to see this talent of the satan. Allah has bestowed an amazing power on satan but this time satan has come across a tough bite. This time it has Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) standing on its way. The Messenger of Allah (saas) says; "Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear and will kill the satan and beat it down under his feet."

It all leads to one race.
The Class 3A regional cross country race will be held on Grant County High School's home course at Sherman Elementary, Nov. 5.
Coach Marlon Kinsey is working on the boys and girls teams on the two-mile stretch of the 3.1-mile course, a stretch that can be a challenge for the teams chances to qualify for the state meet Nov. 12 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
For five seniors, the end of this year will not end the bond they have made over the past four seasons on the football field.
The Braves honored J.T. Allhouse, Josh Brewer, Lucas Button, A.J. Hall and Ethan Magee before the Oct. 21 game in front of family and friends.
Even though the scoreboard read 55-7 when the final seconds ran off the clock, Allhouse said the score isn't reflective of the way the team played.
GCHS SENIOR NIGHT IS OCT. 21 - The Braves lost to Conner 63-14 Oct. 14 in Hebron. It was their third consecutive loss and the team has now surrendered 200 points in those games, an average of 66 points per game. The Braves have only scored 46 points in that span. Next up for Grant County is senior night on Oct. 21, as the team will honor the five seniors on the team, J.T. Allshouse, Josh Brewer, Lucas Button, A.J. Hall and Ethan Magee before game time. The Braves will face Cooper. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for parents.
Week 8 Player of the Week - Blake Dills was named the Braves Week 8 Player of the Week. Dills had three catches for 59 yards and one touchdown against Scott on Oct. 7. The award is sponsored by Carolyn Thomas Thompson State Farm Insurance.
Minutes after watching Williamstown lose a heartbreaking defeat to Walton-Verona, the Grant County Lady Braves followed, dropping two sets to Owen County in the 32nd District Tournament Oct. 12.
On the last play of the game that sealed the victory for Owen County, the ball was set by senior Paige Elliott, but instead of the ball going forwards, the ball went behind her landing on the ground. The game ended the high school volleyball careers of five seniors.
It was a long and winding road for the 2011 Grant County Braves soccer team. The season was full of ups and downs that started with week one.
How would the team replace 11 seniors from last season's 13-win season, a school record?
Freshman and sophomores with no varsity experience, who were also learning the ropes with a new coach, the former junior varsity coach, had to step up.
Sarah Kellam's goal was to make it to the second day of the state golf tournament
Kellam, a junior at Grant County High School, placed 20th in the 2011 Leachman/Buick/GMC/Cadillac KHSAA Girls State Tournament Oct. 7-8 in Bowling Green.
Kellam shot a two-day total of 164, but Kellam believed she could have done better. Even her coach Marcus Camacho felt she could do better.
The cards weren't on the table for the Grant County Lady Braves soccer team, as they lost the 23rd district tournament championship game to Walton-Verona 1-0 on Oct. 12 in Maysville.
For senior defender Emily Tillman it was disappointing to see her last district tournament ending with a loss to a team Grant County beat 4-1 in the regular season.
"It hit me before our game against Walton-Verona that this is my last time playing in the postseason for Grant County," she said.
One point is all that kept Williamstown from going to their third consecutive regional volleyball tournament appearance, as they lost in three sets to Walton-Verona, Oct. 12 at Grant County High School.
It was a match that most would have picked the Lady Bearcats as the favorites to win, but the Lady Demons gave them a game, challenging them by winning the first set 25-20, forcing Walton-Verona to win the next two sets or becoming the upset win Williamstown needed to get back to regionals.
For five of the past six years, Williamstown senior Katie Butler has been a member of the cross country team.
On Oct. 8, she experienced her last race on the course she called home, as she placed 42nd in the race with a time of 26:15.14, a time she wasn't necessarily pleased with.
"It's bittersweet," she said. "I am happy that I am getting older and that I am still running, but this is my last year and not having a good season, but I am still enjoying my time."

Arbie - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkThere are alternatives to this grossly overused phrase - at least enough so that it needn't appear three times in four paragraphs.
That said.... thanks for the review. Reply
EzioAs - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkThis RK-9000BR has pretty much everything all I wanted from a keyboard: Cherry MX Brown switches (blue would've been better, but it's fine), individual backlit keys, not too expensive (at least to me) and simplistic looks. It's just a shame that there are no individual media keys. I'm not really sure I could fine one that really has all the features I need. Probably have to do a bit more research before I pulled the plug and buy this one Reply
LadyKate - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkLove my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online(Click on menu Home)

jigglywiggly - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkstill no media keys... why? they are so useful Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkThere ARE media keys. They're Fn combos with the function key row. Reply
lexluthermiester - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkFN key combos are not actual keys. They are alternate key functions. This is one of the reasons I have and will stay with my MS Comfort Curve 2000 until someone comes out with one like it with RED led back lights.
Seriously with the blue? Blue leds have been proven to mess with a persons sleeping cycles. Red does not. Reply
mfas - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkJust go for TESORO - they have what you ask for... Reply
Dafojk - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkAlso searching for what STILL is. Those Tesoro dosen't have discrete media keys either, but if at some point you find som real information feel free to post it here:
Amazing how people thinks that FN shortcuts are as good as real keys... Reply
ShieTar - Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - linkThat's mainly true for blue light sources within your bedroom. Personally I was never able to fall asleep easily with any kind of light source within my bedroom, so I think this is a case of bad and worse LEDs, not good and bad. Reply
Torrijos - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkAre we going to see comparisons with competing product like those from Razer?
Also how is the support for other OS (Mac, Linux)? Reply
kabbluyee - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linksupport, hmmm, it's a basic keyboard Reply
p05esto - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkNo real compute users use Macs, thats why it's not mentioned here. Duh. Reply
Westicles - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkI have the Cherry MX Blue version of the illuminated keyboard and it works fine on my MacBook Pro, just the Windows keys dont work, but everything else does. I have yet to try the Brown version but the Blue version works very well and is definitely the best keyboard I've ever owned. I prefer no frills. And the Fn media keys work well with all my media programs so far. I got mine for $95 though, I got a 20% off all Rosewill keyboards coupon, Newegg runs sales on their Rosewill stuff fairly often. Reply
jigglywiggly - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkgotcha, still, I'll wait for a cherry mx red version. All the other ones slow you down, and I type 140wpm on general typing and 122 on typingtest's test instructions test.
I just want a cherry mx red keyboard with media keys that isn't too expensive. I've yet to see one. I have the normal rosewill cherry mx red keyboard, but it has no media keys.
I play bf3 quite a bit, and I use 3rvx to control my sound, and spotifyer for spotify hotkeys except punkbuster kicks you for both programs. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkCorsair K90. Something like $109 on sale right now at NewEgg. You're not going to do much better than that, and it's a fantastic keyboard. Reply
DanNeely - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkAs a lefty mouser, the block of bogo keys on the left side is a bit of a turnoff. On the occasions when I'm using a right handed mouse the numberpad/arrows part of the keyboard is always annoyingly in my way; and I suspect the K90's extra keys would have the same problem . Reply
ImSpartacus - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkIt may also be worth noting that Newegg is currently comboing just about every component with a 9100 or a 9100i for $5 off the combo. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - link...Newegg? Seriously, we can't help it if we live in backward states with backward laws. Our state governments suck. Does that mean we can't have cheap, quality keyboards with backlighting?
Yes, in this case, it does. This should not be glossed over. Reply
ymrtech - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkYeah, there needs to be comparisons to Razor mechanical keyboards... they have a standard ones for as low as 65$ now and illuminated ones for 100-130... They even had "special edition" game ones that came in different LED colours in case you didn't like the default green colour.
Not sure what switches they use, but i got to play with one at a local best buy and it feels awesome. Reply
ymrtech - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkRazer* Reply
stratosrally - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkI've been using a Corsair K60 for a year, and my solution for illumination was to purchase an Allsop Redmond monitor stand and an Antec Halo 6 LED USB lighting strip. The strip runs underneath the leading edge of the monitor stand and into a USB port on the back of my Samsung monitor for power. I drilled one of the stand's legs to hide the cable, and it is very stealthy... and casts a lovely glow downwards onto the keyboard and illuminates enough of my desk surface to have all lights out in the room when gaming.
Instead of worrying about an individual LED failing on my keyboard that would require an RMA or a replacement, I can spend less than $8 on a new strip if it fails.
BTW - I'm absolutely loving my Cherry MX Reds and my Corsair Vengeance K60 - and my M60 as well. Reply
ol1bit - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkI just got the Cooler Master CM Storm Quick Fire Pro with Brown Cherry keys for $74 with a $20 rebate card on New Egg. Black Friday deals..still going on today. :-)
Liked the features it had compared with Roswell basic, and like you said the Illuminated Roswell is just too much money. Reply
greenbackz - Sunday, November 25, 2012 - linkI have a steelseries MERC stealth.. u can change the lights from blue, red or purple, it has media keys and also was cheaper than this thing.. why does this thing cost more when it has far less functionality compared to the SS merc? lol Reply
torp - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkOne, your keyboard has rubber switches not mechanical, which is why it's cheaper.
Two, some (me included) consider the extra keys a hindrance not a feature. Personally i have a Razer Ultimate and the macro keys on the left annoy me to no end. Reply
vshin - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkWell that was fast. Cyber Monday deals rock! Reply
Zokudu - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkHave you looked at the Cooler Master Quick Fire Rapid? I feel like these keyboard reviews are missing some major mechanical players. Reply
Omega215D - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkThere's also the CM Storm Quickfire TK that's tenkeyless but still offers a num-pad. It's backlit and comes a variety of switches. Similar in price to the Quickfire Rapid. Reply
CobaltFire - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkI work on fairly old equipment and get to use some of the older mechanical switch terminals (IBM and HP). This series is a great way for me to get a feel for the mech keyboards available today without spending a ton of money.
That said, the Centurion is not a bad mech. I routinely use one well (-AL with a PPC, -YLW, and a -D with an LB), as do many others. It may not fit your playing style, however that is no fault of the platform. Reply
JonnyDough - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkI think it's time for a holiday gaming keyboard roundup with recommendations.
Tactile Response/Speed - i.e. how many buttons can you press at once, response time, "trigger weight"
Allow me to clarify "Trigger weight". Think of a gun, and how many pounds are required to pull the trigger. I want a keyboard where I don't have to push the button down very far to get the key to actuate input (which is why Cherry Switches are sort of a poor choice for gaming), but I don't want it so soft that merely touching the keys to find the home keys registers a push. My Logitech G15 which I have been using for a few years is nearly perfect)
Additional Features:
USB ports on the top edge of the keyboard are tough to access. LCD screens are nice but not necessary, still they can add value. Indicator lights are a big help. It would also be nice to get some sort of register of how much juice different keyboards suck down. Does my G15 cost me an additional $10 to run over the course of a few years? It might not be a huge deciding factor but it could be an interesting read. I really like the gaming switch my G15 has. I often forget its there but it would be nice to have a keyboard's software automatically double check to make sure that this key is disabled when in full screen. Reply
Beenthere - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkI went to Newegg to take a look at these mechanical mobos and no matter what Rosewill model I looked at, the reviews all said that the mini USB port on the keybord where the cable plugs in, fails after about 6 months. There is one review after another with the identical defect/failure on multiple models.
I'm wondering if the RK-9000I and RK-9100BR have this same mini USB port issue? Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkI haven't had an issue with mine but it never moves so there's no way the port could fail... I've heard it's actually fairly easy to fix if it's out of warranty tho, at least if you're handy with a soldering iron. Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - linkActually several reviews by people who never move their mobo have reported the Rosewill mini USB port on the mechanical keyboards failing, which is why I asked because this is a serious design flaw. Reply
Purpose - Monday, November 26, 2012 - linkCherry MX Blue switches require less force to depress than browns because there is no resistance from the leaf spring encountered until the actuation point, unlike browns, which have a near linear resistance.
That's the primary difference between browns and blues. Blues are easier to depress until the actuation point, then you get noticeable resistance, and once the switch is activated, the resistance of blue switches decreases dramatically.
Browns on the other hand are slightly harder to depress due to the near linear nature, but require less force at the actual activation point.

Pheesh - Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - linkI'm not sure why the reviewer thinks brown's are not ideal for gaming. In the large fps gaming community that I follow gamers prefer either brown's or red's. (seems to be mostly browns, actually). Black switches are somewhat despised. Reply
LintMan - Thursday, November 29, 2012 - linkI have a Steelseries keyboard with MX Black keys and found that while it was fine for FPS-type games where you're holding down the keys for movement, it was not so great for games where you are quickly just tapping keys, and it was especially bad for "double-tapping"; I had a very hard time reliably getting a double-tap response because it's not very clear where the actuation/release points are without the tactile feedback of the click point.
Similarly, I had problems with typing - the number of typos I was producing shot up compared to how I do on typical non-mechanical keyboards or on the RK-9000 MX Brown I replaced my Steelseries with. It was such a relief going from the MX Blacks to the MX Browns. Reply
McFoozle - Sunday, December 02, 2012 - linkIBM Selectric was genius in that the keyboard was concave which reduced the amount of distance your fingers had to reach to get from Home Row to the other rows. Why can't anybody make a proper keyboard even after I explain it to them? I want a concave design split into two halves which are angled outward kind of like the GoldTouchApple but with palm rests.
Every single damn tech thing I buy or look at isn't the way I want it. I totally understand why Steve Jobs used the "F" word so much. Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, December 05, 2012 - linkWhile the Rosewill mechanical keyboards seem to be a decent product they are way over priced, IMO. I don't see how they can justify a ~$100 price tag for any of the mechanical keyboard models. Reply

SAINT LEO, Fla. – After falling in heartbreaking action to the No. 3 Tampa Spartans on Friday night, the Lions bounced back on Saturday afternoon and took home a 3-0 win over the visiting Rollins College Tars. The win signaled the Lions' first Sunshine State Conference win of the season and improved their record to 11-5.
The Lions dominated the first set, pounding it home with a 25-12 score. It was Lauren Campbell who led the effort for Saint Leo in the set, notching seven kills and three digs.
Despite the quick first set, the second set of the afternoon was a battle, yet Saint Leo finished hot with a 25-21 win. Defensively, seven Lions had at least one dig in the second set alone, with Campbell and junior libero Yaidimar Santiago collecting five apiece.
The nailbiting third set featured a come-from-behind effort as the Lions rebounded from a five-point deficit and took home the 26-24 set win, sealing the match.
Junior middle blocker Lauren Campbell led the offensive effort for the Lions in the match, collecting 16 kills and 11 defensive digs. Her junior counterpart Tawni Warren also contributed with a double-double, tallying 13 digs and 11 kills. Seniors Meghan Donovan and Jordan Sisson also took home nine kills apiece, while junior Alexa Griffith-Hardy notched seven.
In typical fashion, Santiago led the Lions' squad in digs, amassing 19 on the afternoon, while senior setter Jaclyn Mailoto tallied nine digs and 51 assists.
As a team, Saint Leo hit for .360, collecting 54 kills and 60 digs. The visiting Tars notched just 31 kills in the loss.
Saint Leo will return to action on Wednesday, October 9 when they travel to Eckerd College for their fourth Sunshine State Conference match of the year. Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

I saw this move last night and was out til 3:15 this morning to follow it.
I am on my way out the door to see tonight's movement. They will back out of forest preserve where it is parked. Back it down an exit ramp to get onto the interstate. Proceed about 10 miles and exit and move up 4 lane side road to just outside of Fermi. I will be there tomorrow afternoon to watch it enter the Fermi property and park near where it will be placed.
This is way cool! I've been involved in the trucking industry for 38 years and it is the darndest thing I've ever seen.

Where the Great Plains meet the Mighty Rockies
Geography: The "orginal" Las Vegas, in New Mexico, is about an hour east of Santa Fe on Interstate 25 North. It is the county seat of San Miguel County, which includes one other incorporated community, Pecos. The terrain of San Miguel County varies widely from 11,800-foot peaks in the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the western portion to broad flat plains of less than 4,000 feet in the east. Between mountains and the plains is another distinct region known as the Las Vegas Plateau. Las Vegas' elevation is 6,470 feet. Las Vegas is 64 miles from Santa Fe, 123 miles from Albuquerque, 258 miles from Denver, 369 miles from El Paso and 579 miles from Phoenix. Las Vegas is accessed by Interstate 25 from the northeast and southwest, N.M. Highway 518 from the north and N.M. highways 84 and 3 from the east.
Weather: Las Vegas has a semi-arid climate. There is sunshine for 70 percent of daytime hours. The average high temperatures in the summer are in the 80s, and the average low temperatures in the winter are in the 20s. Average annual rainfall is 15.1 inches, and annual average snowfall is 35 inches.
Economy: Las Vegas' largest employer is the New Mexico Behavioral Institute (formerly Las Vegas Medical Center), with 1,050 employees. The second largest employer is Highlands University, a four-year institution. At the time of the 2000 census, the per capita income in Las Vegas was $13,250, compared to $21,587 nationally. Nearly a quarter of the population lives below the poverty level. Las Vegas is served by Alta Vista Regional Hospital, a full-service center.
Population: Las Vegas' population is 20,375, while San Miguel County's stands at 30,126, according to the 2000 census. The population of Las Vegas has been stable through the years, while San Miguel County's population jumped by 17 percent from 1990 to 2000. Las Vegas is 81.5 percent Hispanic.
Education: The community is served by two public school districts, Las Vegas City Schools and West Las Vegas, and two colleges, New Mexico Highlands University and Luna Community College. A third school, Armand Hammer United World College, attracts high school students from around the globe.

Psychologists: Money can buy you happiness if spent right
Psychologists evaluate that people who earn more are generally happier than people, who try to make ends meet. Regardless of the level of income, they say, it is more important to know how is money spent right in terms of happiness.
Canadian University of British Columbia associate professor Elizabeth Dunn and Ryan Howell associate professor of psychology at San Francisco State University in the U.S. have found that buying things makes us less happy than buying experiences.
Despite that we generally consider paying for travels and cultural or sports events a waste of money to a certain extent.
According to Prof. Howell, when people looked back at their purchases, they realize that experiences actually provided better value.
It's this process of hedonic adaptation that makes it so hard to buy happiness through material purchases. The new dress or the fancy car provides a brief satisfaction, but we soon come to take it for granted.
Experiences, on the other hand, tend to meet more of our underlying psychological needs, evaluated Prof. Thomas Gilovich from the Cornell University in the U.S. They're often shared with other people, giving us a greater sense of connection, and they form a bigger part of our sense of identity.

What utter idiocy... Except for your mutual feelings for the Jews (a.k.a. Jew-hate), what else is there to discuss with the Muslim terrorists who never gave up the hope to destroy Israel? Has the globally and regionally irrelevant Latvia deluded itself into believing it could play ANY role in the process? Or are the Latvian apparatchiks again taking marching orders from Berlin/Brussels? You need the U.S. to protect you from Russia. WTF? Germany and France are not going to defend you. Guys, just do yourself a big favor and stay out of this. None of your business. Pass a decent tax reform instead. Make English your second official language.

Cheeky Monkey Goes On A Shooting Spree
Sometimes, monkeying around can be a good thing. While spending time following a group of endangered crested black macaques in an Indonesian national park on the island of Sulawesi, wildlife photographer David J. Slater of Gloucestershire, UK had his camera snatched by a very curious crested black macaque. The creature became enthralled with the reflection in the camera lens and seemed to enjoy the sound of the shutter, so he began shooting photos.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/5/2013 (1562 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The more I think about the top two picks in the CFL draft signing with NFL teams, the more I think the CFL clubs that drafted them will be all the better for it.
In case you missed it on Sunday, the No. 1 pick in this year's draft joined four of his classmates by signing a contract with an NFL team. That means a minimum of five players from the 2013 draft class in the CFL will be late joining their respective teams in Canada, if they join them at all this year.
So how is this a good thing? Well, two weeks ago I suggested that the Bombers draft the best player available to them, NFL contract or not, because of the long odds for any undrafted free agent to make an NFL roster. In addition, as a worst-case scenario, even if it took a player a year or two to wash out of the NFL, it would not hurt the CFL club, as freshman professionals in this league rarely make their presence felt early in their development.
These are the realities and probabilities of the undrafted life, but not necessarily "good" things if your draft pick migrates south.
After considerably more reflection now, however, I think the fact that the Bomber's first selection this year, who will be going to test the waters in Green Bay, is the best thing that could have happened to him and the team.
As much as the fans of the two leagues regularly debate about whether CFL players can compete with their NFL counterparts -- even though the requirements of the games are as different as the rules and fields -- there is no debate over the fact that the coaching these players will receive in their NFL tenures, be it a few months or a few years, will make them infinitely better. If you don't believe me, just ask Bombers head coach Tim Burke and defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan, who openly and publicly admit they take off every off-season to visit an NFL team and bring back as much conceptual, schematic and coaching techniques as they can get their mitts on.
Without question, in my opinion, the very elite-level players in the NFL are in a class of their own. The freaks of nature, like the "Megatrons," the J.J. Watts, the Tom Bradys, do not have comparable equivalents in the CFL. But once you get past the real game-breakers and megastars down south, the talent gets remarkably close and the distinctions get blurred.
You can easily pen a column about how many players made it in the NFL that couldn't make it in the CFL, and vice versa, due to the different skill sets and physical tools required to specialize on either side of the border.
Yet the one point that is never debated or argued, or even brought up, is the coaching disparity between the two leagues.
If you think I'm taking a shot at CFL tutelage, I'm not. I learned many things, on and off the field, from some of my favourite coaches of all time, like Richard Harris and Greg Marshall in the CFL, among others. But in all honesty, I learned more about the essentials of defensive-line play from NFL coaches Earl Leggett and Mike Trgovac. The focus on fundamentals, the extensive time you spend being coached, the breakdown of the techniques and the operational tempo are experiences not often found north of the border.
In fact, one of the most effective coaching tools Creehan employs when he is a defensive-line coach is the tempo he adheres to in practice and the drills he has brought north of the border with him. Every minute of every time he coaches a unit is maximized with as much work and as many repetitions as possible.
A couple weeks ago, we discussed what long odds undrafted free agents must overcome to make the NFL and how when they eventually return their best football would still be in front of them. A further reality is that teams like the Tiger-Cats and Bombers will be returned players that have been coached by some of the best in the world in some of the most efficient and effective systems imaginable.
So let's hope they stick around for a little longer than just a training camp, because we will all be better off because of it.

It's just so much to watch out for when we do AoE, position, range... while shadowpriests pick a target and channel ONE spell for 10 seconds or something while they do 3 times the aoe dps that we do, fuck balance.

This. Our aoe is stupidly strong on things like tortos bats and lei-shen ball lightning granted these mobs stay up for a decent ammount of time, not ~10 seconds like they usually do
I do have my hopes up for 5.3 though, if not just the stupidly good scaling this tier will give with VP upgrades and haste.
Also fun fact, coined horridon and got the intellect trinket. Ticketed a GM about it and was told it's working as intended. Be prepared for sadtimes.
Personally I enjoy the whole having to min-max to the bone to stay competitive, but theres quite a few things that could make life easier (Looking at you hammer of the righteous target requirement and censure reaction time).
wtb seal of justice fix
Dont have screenshots of the reply, but WIM keeps chat logged.
Re-read it today though, it seemed more like the GM didn't understand the issue and just said it was working as intended, because he said it's always been like that (You kill a boss in a spec --> bonus loot is locked to that spec regardless of respeccing) which is not true.
I don't think there's any danger in downing it as ret and coining for ret loot, but something's buggy in respeccing before using a coin, that's for sure.
quick question: is there a haste softcap for sanctified wrath? in theory, a 3 second HoW without SW (50% haste, doesn't seem too implausible if we already are at 42% in heroic tier) means a 1.5 second HoW, but also means a 1 second GCD, which in turn means that we either need to wait on HoW to finish, or that our next HoW is delayed by .5 seconds.
Currently only reading the Funny Pictures Megathread because the rest of the forums is filled with piss, whiners and pissed whiners.
But hey atleast we're getting less mana cost on our buffs so we can use them instantly when CR'd ~~
probably a dumb question, with our 2 set bonus will haste still be our best stat or is mastery a little better?
- Exorcism through Sactity of Battle: Allowing more uptime in the debuff
- Melee swings: Allowing for more Art of War procs
- Fillers from Sanctity of Battle allows us to use more spells during the debuff uptime.
I am yet to see any numbers yet, but I believe haste still takes the cake over mastery and crit. I am interested how mastery and crit weight themselves for us to see if they are still somewhat equal.
Exorcising Undead in the name of the Silver Hand!
-Retribution, the path of the protector or mender brought to it's natural conclusion; destroying evil before the weak need to be shielded from it, and before it can wound the innocent.
Fix My DPS | Fix My Heals | Fix My Tanking |
WoW Level Scaling Feature
borrowed a Ji's today. Obscenely broken up fairly often.
i have a feather, and it is so great getting triple procs with full cds
picked up a feather today, haven't done any testing with it but the other ret in my guild has one thunderforged and he jumped up like 5k dps from it. CD timing etc obviously but still...
Feather is pretty fucking stupid rng sometimes. Had 69 procs total spread over 15 wipes of Iron Qon, before shooting up to 13 procs on the kill. Granted it didn't proc on the pull and procced during lightning storm twice (at the start+Judgment to keep censure, hai gusy ima feather proc), it's still pretty insane.
Almost as stupid as our dk having 16 procs on the same kill x]
Worst thing is no proc on the pull though, that's literally a difference of several million damage during the burst, even a million from ES alone.
Coining Twin Consort tonight, so if i'm "unlucky" I may pick up a Gaze for testing. wtb 4 set.
I don't want it, but knowing my luck with coining (Hello horridon), it'll most likely happen. Coining it for 4set/boots as both of those are 509s and shot at random wep.

Did you know?
The Gariep Dam, completed in 1971, is the largest dam in South Africa. 'Gariep' is an ancient San word for 'great water'.
Gliding (also known as soaring) involves flying an unpowered aircraft that makes use of air currents to stay airborne. At an altitude of 12 000 feet (3 700m), you are alone in the sky, communing only with the clouds and riding updrafts and downdrafts over hundreds of kilometres.
Glider pilots will tell you there is no better feeling, which is why they travel the world in search of the magical trough line (where dry and wet air meet and clouds develop – perfect for gliding).
'Plenty of glider pilots from Europe and the United States come to South Africa in November, December and January to experience our magnificent conditions,' says Martin Lessle, who headed the Gariep Gliding Centre in the Gariep Dam area of the Free State from 2005 to 2012.
Martin, who says soaring is in his blood (his father brought him up on gliding), is now based at the airfield in Douglas, 100km south-west of Kimberley in the Northern Cape, because he has seen the trough line move closer to Kimberley each year.
'It's definitely to do with changing climates. There is still great gliding in Gariep, but it's good to have options.'
The beauty for glider pilots coming to South Africa from Europe in the summer is that there is only one hour's time difference, which means they don't need to acclimatise. Those coming from different time zones, such as the United States, need about two days to reset their clock.
'The pilots from overseas visit for about a week, and we have eight good gliders available for hire at an average of R12 000 per week,' he says. 'We are also well equipped with gear and we have a good tug aeroplane to get them launched,'
Flying an average of eight hours without fuel is an incredible feat. 'You literally feel on top of the world,' he explains. 'For me – and it's the same for most gliders – the most exciting experience is a very long task: flying far and high. In our air space, "far" is currently 800km and in 2013 we're aiming for 1 000km.'
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Martin Lessle
Cell: +27 (0)82 442 5584
Email: email@example.com
How to get here
The Gariep Dam is about 650 km (or about seven to eight hours' drive) from Johannesburg and about 200km from Bloemfontein (about two hours' drive). The Gariep area to Douglas is about 280km, or three hours by road. The trip from Johannesburg to Douglas is about 615km – at least seven hours' drive. Kimberley to Douglas is 100km, which will take you about an hour to drive. Johannesburg to Kimberley is 480km – a five-hour drive at least. Bloemfontein to Kimberley is 164km, a drive of about an hour and a half.
Best time to visit
November, December and January are the best gliding months.
Around the area
Both the Gariep Dam area and the town of Douglas offer excellent water sports and outdoor activities, such as game viewing and fishing.
Get around
Self-drive. Kimberley has an airport and car-hire facilities.
What will it cost
It costs about R12 000 to hire a glider for a week. You'll have to factor in transport (such as hiring a car) and accommodation on top of that.
Length of stay
One week for gliding and a few extra days to explore the area.
What to pack
Gliding gear. But if it is difficult to travel with it, speak to Martin Lessle as he has gear for hire.
Where to stay
There is a choice of guest houses and B&Bs in both the Gariep Dam and Douglas areas (the Gariep Dam is in the Free State; Douglas is in the Northern Cape). Ask Martin Lessle to advise according to your budget.
What to eat
Most of the accommodation options in South Africa offer meals, and breakfast is almost always included in overnight rates. Alternatively, you can purchase food at the local supermarkets.
What's happening
The area offers much for visitors, including game viewing, fishing and river rafting.

HOUSTON - Skip Wagner, who is credited with boosting attendance and revenue for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo as its president and chief executive officer, is leaving the venerable show.
Officials announced Wednesday that Wagner has accepted a position as the president and CEO of the 12th Man Foundation at Texas A&M University.
Wagner joined the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 1992 as assistant to the general manager, primarily focused on grounds entertainment, operations and fundraising aspects of the event, leaving in 2000. After a three-year stint as president and general manager of the Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City, Wagner returned to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in 2004, and was elected as president and CEO in 2005.
Also during Wagner's tenure, the volunteer base grew from 17,000 to more than 28,000.
Current chief operating officer, Leroy Shafer, will serve as interim president and chief executive officer.

Two failed previous Vendée Globe races and one solo Velux 5 Oceans – when he had to abandon his IMOCA Open 60 in the Indian Ocean – mean that this will be his first Cape Horn alone. That he is in an excellent fourth place in an older generation of design, still in touch with the podium whilst managing an acute on board power shortage is already an enduring endorsement of his skills as a solo sailor. Thomson has been in power saving mode since he broke a hydrogenerator on December 11th, but plans to speak to Vendée Globe LIVE after his passage.
'It will mean a huge amount to Alex tonight. Don't get me wrong we have not finished yet, but in itself he has got further solo than ever before and passing Cape Horn successfully in fourth will the culmination of 15 years of hard work on his part. This is the last big milestone before the finish and it has been a great race that Alex has sailed. He has worked so hard, as have the whole team over the years, so he deserves this. He has put up with a lot of criticism, negative feelings and back biting over the years, and Alex has thicker skin than most people, but for sure that has hurt him.'
'It has been like in any sport when there is a pressure on a tennis player, a driver or a golfer to perform but Alex will be pleased to have got this far and done so well.'
'Not many skippers will have worked harder. He has done four Transatlantics in six months including setting a new record,' comments Stewart Hosford, CEO at Alex Thomson Racing.
Third into the Atlantic after passing Cape Horn at 0442hrs this morning, Jean-Pierre Dick's fourth time round the Horn ranked as probably his most difficult. In the pitch black with the ever present threat of ice, with big confused seas which he described as 'crazy' and a gusty wind, '….the boat was shaking in every direction.' Said JP on Vendée Globe LIVE this morning, still sounding tired and anxious. 'It was a Cape Horn which I passed 'virtually' because I was a way off and could see nothing. It was not much of a celebration.'
Replay : Le Live du Vendée Globe du 03 janvier by VendeeGlobeTV
After François Gabart (Macif) and Armel Le Cléach (Banque Populaire) breached Cape Horn on January 1st there are now three skippers in the Atlantic. The two leaders have been sailing quickly in NW' ly winds of 25kts. The ascent towards the coast of Brazil will offer a range of opportunities for gains and losses, with a small succession of depressions spinning off the South American coast challenging a substantial dominant high pressure which will more or less block the leaders path.
JP Dick, 337 miles behind the leaders, remains confident he can keep catching Gabart and Le Cléac'h.
Cape Horn may be one of the most isolated landmarks on the planet but it will see IMOCA Open 60's of the Vendée Globe passing like buses over the next two weeks. Jean Le Cam (SynerCiel) should pass on Sunday morning, Mike Golding on Gamesa expects to pass late Monday and could have Dominique Wavre (Mirabaud), Javier Sanso (Acciona 100% EcoPowered) and Arnaud Boissières (Akéna Verandas) following closely behind. Compression in to Cape Horn is a normal feature, but one weather routing study has the five boats passing hours rather than days apart. Today less than 300 miles separates sixth Golding from Boissières.
Key to the recent gains have been stronger winds arriving from astern. Dominique Wavre reported today that he is still feeling the effects of a battle with his gennaker.
Behind them the contrast between the fortunes of eleventh placed Bertrand De Broc and twelfth positioned Tanguy De Lamotte are very different. De Broc is set to struggle with a huge high positioned over the next gate, whilst De Lamotte has had 45 knots making life on board Initiatives Coeur.
Bernard Stamm, disqualified yesterday for receiving outside assistance, still holds a hope of a final ranking after submitting a request to have his case reopened.
Jean-Pierre Dick (FRA, Virbrac Paprec 3): It wasn't my easiest Cape Horn. It was dark night outside and a lot of sea. It was chaotic. The sea is going in front of the boat. I can feel my boat's pain. This morning is very difficult.
I have to check the waves' files once again. The boat jumps. It's not great at the moment. I'm happy to be done with the Southern Oceans. I hope the Atlantic will be as good as it was on the way down.
« Terre, terre » pour Jean-Pierre Dick ! by VendeeGlobeTV
Dominique Wavre (SW, Mirabaud) : The gennaker became crazy. It was a hard time. I fought for many hours. If I didn't do it I should have let it go in the ocean. I'm exhausted. It was very stressful especially because it was dark night. I had to go in front of the boat three times. I thought about Yann Eliès. When you deal with such a thing you're thirsty and exhausted. Now I'm feeling better.
Mike Golding (ENG, Gamesa): I am a bit slowed at the moment but otherwise I have been moving well. It was a pretty rough night with big waves and 38-40kts of wind, big gusts. I was at the top end of the A7 and on Solent for a while. The waves were throwing the boat around a lot. I agree there will be come compression with this group, but really at the moment I am sailing my own race and just focusing on getting to the next gate. Cape Horn, one way or another, is usually a bit of a slow down. But once we are all heading north it can be close between us.
Armel Le Cléac'h (FRA, Banque Populaire): We are just before a depression with 25 knots of wind. It's grey outside. The weather conditions are very different from yesterday. I think it will be like that for two days. The way up the Atlantic won't be the easiest part. I think I have a card to play. It's open even if the weather conditions aren't easy. We'll be able to make a first statement off Brazil. We received an email from a scientific boat which does research next to us. We should be 20 miles away from it when we'll cross it.
Alessandro Di Benedetto (IT, Team Plastique): I'm fine. I have some wind. I'm 400 miles away from New Zealand, off Campbell Island. I manage to resolve my automatic pilots problems. It was important because I had a little sleep during the last 12 days. I also had problems with my rudders. I even think about stopping the boat to do my repairs. If nothing bad happen until the next Island I'll keep on going. I did a nice lemon sorbet with the ice I found on the boat. I like cooking. Today it was fresh salad for me. It's important for my mental health. For the moment I'm fine. The important thing is to keep on going like that. I'm very happy to be here.

PEOPLE in East Lancashire are being encouraged to discuss their drinking habits during Alcohol Awareness Week.
The campaign, organised by Alcohol Concern and supported by Blackburn with Darwen Council and the Care Trust Plus, is called 'It's time to talk about drinking'.
It recognises that talking about drinking is something the British do but questions whether we are having the right kind of conversations.
During the week Blackburn with Darwen's Alcohol and Drug Service on Regent Street, Blackburn, will be providing information to visitors about the dangers of alcohol abuse.
A series of awareness events will take place during the week including an alcohol support day on Friday at the Women's Centre on Strawberry Bank, Blackburn.
It will run from 1pm until 3pm.
Director of public health for Blackburn with Darwen, Dominic Harrison, said: "Unfortunately the social problems alcohol causes are all around us, as well as the massive health impacts it can have."
