Wow! August flew by didn't it? Luckily, I'm slightly addicted to taking photos on my phone and I had quite a goofy little collection of our adventures this last month. Here's a glimpse into the fun we had…
August in an Instant
We had a lot of fun this August. Some travel, some healthy habits, and some just for mom me time. Click through to see! And follow me on instagram @beckarobinson for more. :)
Lunch Date!
Little man came with us to a lunch date at our favorite local restaurant. This was the first time he actually kept that hat on. I think he knew how cool he looked.
Healthy Habits!
We started to let Bubs pick what he wants to eat for lunch. Luckily for us he loves healthy food so we are supporting his healthy choices by making them as fun as possible!
We picked out these gorgeous farm fresh eggs. The light blue color was just too pretty to pass up! Our son loves scrambled eggs so these were perfect!
Road Trip!
We had to take a trip up to Atlanta for work and decided last minute to take the little man with us. He was a trooper during the 8 hour car ride. Every time we stopped for gas he wanted to "drive". ;)
Hey Handsome!
Took some time to hang out with my husband. Cuddling on the sofa and watching movies is quality time as far as we're concerned. It's great to feel re-connected to him even when life gets hectic.
Just For Me Time
I decided to enroll in a wheel-throwing pottery class to have some time just for me. It was one of the best decisions ever. These are all the pretty things I made. I had so much fun. I'd highly recommend it!
Beach Baby
We took Cadence to the beach for the second time ever and he LOVED it! We jumped in the waves and made castles in the sand.
Sammie Time
Sammies, aka sandwiches, became one of his favorite new foods. He's becoming very independent about eating and prefers things that don't require our assistance.
Goofing Off
When we say "Show us your muscles!" he flexes and makes this hilarious face. Sometimes he does it completely unprovoked. It makes me so happy to have it documented in a photo. Ha!


text: Thinking about hunting down and purchasing myself a good old fashioned SP1 pretty soon. I would like some input from you folks here at TFL on the rifle. Are they as reliable as the new AR's? Do they suffer from any of the problems so often encountered with the early ones in Vietnam, or was it just that powder problem? Do they have chrome lined bores and chambers? How's their accuracy? Thanks.

It's 1623, Tulip mania. A single tulip bulb sells for a thousand Dutch florins, seven times the average annual wage. The average tulip trader makes 60,000 florins a month - 400 times the annual wage.
Forty bulbs sell for 100,000 florins. You could have bought 3333 pigs for the same price. People were selling possessions to speculate in the tulip market.
Some tulip traders started selling tulips that had just been planted. Others sold bulbs they intended to plant. Gotta love those futures traders. They called it ''wind trade'' at the time because that's all the tangible assets you had: thin air.
There has been a lot written about bubbles, and how to spot them. Here are the lessons from 400 years ago. How to spot a bubble:
Everybody is making gains.
People believe the passion for stocks will last forever.
Your ordinary industry is neglected.
Tangible assets are converted to cash to speculate in shares. (Equity mate).
Other asset classes are deserted.
Luxuries of every sort rise in price.
Assets are bought to sell, not bought for their return.
Now let's turn this on its head and see whether we aren't in the opposite of a bubble, a period in the sharemarket when everyone is undervaluing everything, a sharemarket ''bust'' maybe. Let's see whether we're being too bearish. If so, the following should be happening:
Nobody is making money. Tick.
People believe long-term investment is over forever. Tick.
Everybody is concentrating on keeping their jobs. Tick.
Everyone is trying to pay down debts. Tick.
Other asset classes are swamped (term deposits). Tick.
Luxury items of every sort fall in price (discretionary retailing in a hole). Tick.
Assets are bought for their return, not to sell (income stocks favoured). Tick.
All a bit simple, but there are other factors that suggest we are closer to a bottom than a top. For instance:
There is a lot of cash ready to invest.
The yield gap favours equities over bonds. Yields are historically high. Gross equity yields average 7 per cent against the 10-year bond yield at 4.16 per cent.
Equities are historically cheap at a price-earnings ratio of 10.5 times earnings. The long-term average is 37 per cent higher at 14.4 times earnings with peaks of 20 times.
Balance sheets are historically strong.
So what is holding us back? The answer isn't ''price''; the price is right. The answer is ''risk''.
We have spent the past 4½ years getting a salutary lesson in risk and its consequences. We are fed up with losing money, basically.
But even with the 82 per cent fall in the Japanese sharemarket in the past 22 years, there have been seven bull markets averaging 58 per cent, each lasting an average of one year and four months. Periods when the risk aversion eased enough for the herd to go back in. It can happen and when it comes to price, the stage is set.
For equities to rally, we just need a catalyst, anything that turns the focus away from fear and risk to greed, or, more likely, the need for a return. It could be a bit of blue sky on Europe after the Greek deal. It could be the pitiful returns and overpricing of fixed-interest instruments and other safe havens, such as gold (zero return) and the mattress (zero return).
But more likely it is going to be the cash simply busting out of its seams.
Consumer, investor and corporate balance sheets are all being rebuilt.
The process may not be complete, but there is a lot of money ready to go. JPMorgan has just announced a $15 billion share buyback and an increased dividend. It has had enough of sitting around and has decided to put its money to work.
A waterfall starts with one drop. Was that it?

But it's not the first time a presidential candidate has chosen to stump from the Springs manufacturing business, owned by CEO Tom Neppl. Arizona Sen.

To the surprise of no one who's had anything to do with the Academy Awards for the past three decades, the Oscars have named Michael B. Seligman the supervising producer of the 84th Academy Awards.
This will mark Seligman's 35th year on the Oscar show, much of that time as the Oscar show's money man, negotiating contracts and dealing with the logistics of an enormous and complicated operation. (He's also the person who originally came up with the idea for gift baskets to attract Oscar presenters.)
Longtime Oscar-watchers now assume that the next step for co-producers Brett Ratner and Don Mischer will be to bring aboard Danette Herman to supervise the show's talent … but that's another press release for another day.
Here's the Monday AMPAS release that made the inevitable official:
Michael B. Seligman has been named supervising producer of the 84th Academy Awards® telecast, marking his 35th year of association with the show, telecast producers Brett Ratner and Don Mischer announced today.
"Michael's experience on the Oscars® is unmatched," said Ratner and Mischer. "With his knowledge of all things Oscar and his diverse relationships throughout the industry, we had to have him on our team."
With more than 300 major television events to his credit, Seligman specializes in producing live broadcasts throughout the world. He currently is serving as executive producer for NBC's two-hour live show "The American Giving Awards." Seligman has earned a total of nine Emmy® nominations, including nods received this year for his work on the 83rd Academy Awards and "Stand Up to Cancer," a multiyear fundraising program that has aired on four networks and several cable channels simultaneously. He has received seven nominations for his work on Oscar telecasts alone. Seligman's other producing credits include "America Celebrates July 4th at Ford's Theatre"; "America's Millennium," a three-hour live New Year's Eve celebration; the NBC special "Funny Women of Television"; and "Return to the Titanic…Live!"
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2011 will be presented on Sunday, February 26, 2012, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar® presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.

Tom Gorman's column runs Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. He can be reached at [email protected] or at (702) 259-2310.
I met another neighbor the other day, a fellow named Chick. He came over to introduce himself while we were having a garage sale. He was quick with a smile and handshake.
I asked him how he was doing. I assumed he'd say something like, "Just fine. Great day, eh? So how d'ya like the neighborhood?"
Instead, when I asked him how he was doing he said: "Not well. I'm retired. Don't ever retire."
So much for warming up over pleasantries. He elaborated: "I'm bored."
Interesting how people's attitudes vary toward retirement.
He brought to mind two other people I've met recently, retirees whose lives intersected for about 20 seconds, but who are remarkably similar in how they are staying active.
I met them when I took Jeanne and her mother, Mary, to a Debbie Reynolds performance at the Suncoast. (One of the highlights of the evening was looking around at the audience and feeling quite young as a result.)
The usher who took us to our booth was a fellow named Les Lampert. He's 75 and a retired traveling salesman.
For 32 years, Les sold manufactured pearls to jewelry and department stores up and down the Eastern Seaboard. After the company was sold five years ago, he and his wife, Margaret, moved to Las Vegas from Orlando, Fla., and bought a place near Lone Mountain.
Margaret hadn't worked for 20 years, but decided to get a job at the Suncoast. "She loves it," said Les.
He was hired part time as a showroom usher and looks dapper in his black slacks and red shirt.
"Every night we get 400 to 500 people, and we can seat them in 12 minutes," he boasted. "Everyone knows us after a while. I can't wait to go to work. I like people. Nobody gives me a hard time. Even if they lost their rent money and are in a bad mood, I make them smile."
Among the people Les seated was Ellen Waters. He delivered her to our table. She's 83 and was all gussied up, and sociable as could be. During the evening, she leaned over and whispered to Mary, leaving us young 'uns in the dark. Turns out Ellen knew a lot of Hollywood scoop.
Ellen moved to Summerlin 15 years ago from Pasadena, Calif., where she owned thoroughbred race horses. She met people such as Harry James, Betty Grable and Walter Matthau. After President Richard Nixon resigned, she volunteered at the Western White House in San Clemente and helped answer fan mail.
Over the years she was married twice. She's alone now.
There's no reason to stay home at night, she said. "I don't cook and I don't do housework," she said. "I never had any children and I've run out of relatives."
She has volunteered a lot, through Catholic Charities, helping the Clark County Health Department administer vaccination shots to schoolchildren. And she has helped the county registrar of voters at election time. For several years, she volunteered at the gift shop at Valley Hospital.
But for real fun on the town, Ellen heads for the casinos. She learned to play video poker by reading three books on the subject, and went to gambling seminars to learn more strategies.
Three casinos in town have hired her to help out with their slot tournaments. She works the registration desk and helps keep score. Occasionally she participates in video poker tournaments, too.
"I've been doing this for 10 years, and love seeing all my friends," she said. "Some have gone by the wayside, but when I see the others, it's like old-home week. After the tournaments, we have dinner together and enjoy each other's company."
This is Ellen's view of retirement, and it's decidedly more upbeat than Chick's: "At this age, I can do whatever I want."

The Bell 429 mockup at Bell Helicopter's exhibit here in Geneva illustrates the increasing attraction of the EBACE venue beyond the strict confines of corporate aviation. Why else, one may ask, would the U.S. rotorcraft manufacturer choose to display the new, twin-engine light helicopter with an emergency medical service (EMS) interior instead of a sleek corporate cabin?
"Bell has a small share of the EMS market in Europe, because we have not had an aircraft that could compete," explained Scott Fitzgerald, vice president of Europe/Africa/Middle East sales. As a percentage, that market share is in single digits, he said. Bell will also show the 429 mockup at the ILA (Berlin) and Farnborough (UK) airshows.
Fitzgerald described the European EMS market targeted by the 429 as one that requires an IFR, single-pilot, twin-engine helicopter with an mtow below 8,000 pounds and enough room in the cabin for full access by medical personnel to a patient on a litter. The 429–7,000 pounds mtow, flat-floor, enough room for two litters and optional rear clamshell doors–easily fits this niche.
Bell plans first flight of the 429 for this fall and first deliveries next year. More than 190 are on order, with four going to European EMS operators. The first of these should appear in this part of the world in late 2007 or early 2008.
Here in Geneva, Fort Worth, Texas-based Bell Helicopter is also showing an example of its light, single-engine Model 407 owned by HeliTeam Sud of Germany. It is outfitted for executive charter but was actually delivered equipped for electronic newsgathering. HeliTeam uses it for both, said Fitzgerald, who added that the ability to easily change mission equipment in the 407's cabin is one of the helicopter's more appealing characteristics.
The 5,000-pound-mtow Bell 407 sells for just under $2 million. With more than 750 delivered worldwide in its first decade, it is Bell's best selling single-engine turbine helicopter. About 30 are operating in Europe and another 20 are on order for companies in this area. Fitzgerald said 407 production is sold out through 2008.

After spending a few days at the wonderfully relaxing 4000 Islands area of Laos, I headed a few hours north to the sleepy town of Champasak in order to visit the temple complex of Wat Phou.
My favorite thing about the temple was the elaborate detailed reliefs carved deep into the stones of the temple. This particular lintel (above) really caught my attention. If you have a chance to visit Laos, I'd highly recommend checking out Wat Phou.

Cessna sold three Citation business jets here at Asian Aerospace yesterday.
First, Japan Aerospace Corp. (JAC) inked a deal to buy its second CJ2+. Then Taneja Aerospace and Aviation of Bangalore, India, bought a CJ2+ and an XLS.
"We've found the CJ2+ is well suited for the Japanese market," said JAC president and CEO Kazuyuki Tamura. "It is ideal to replace the large, but outdated twin turboprops in Japan."
Weighing just under 5.7 tons, the CJ2 falls into the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau's general aviation category and so benefits from advantageous operating costs, including lower maintenance expenses. JAC bought its first CJ2 last year.
According to Robert Hollander, Cessna Citation regional sales representative for the Asia/Pacific region. The U.S. manufacturer achieved "robust" sales in this part of the world, and especially in China and Australia. "The CJ2+ and CJ3 may see growing demand in Australia as customers decide to upgrade from Cessna 500 series aircraft. Japan and India are close behind Australia," he explained.
"We very clearly have a good mix of aircraft for the region," Mark Paolucci, Cessna vice president for Cessna sales, told Aviation International News. He said he wasn't sure whether Clyde Cessna's original concept would apply in Asia, that is, starting fledgling pilots out in small, single-engine aircraft based on the premise they will maintain brand loyalty as they mature in their career. Nonetheless, Cessna has established connections with flying schools around the region.

Presented at: 9th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2012)
by Uta Lösch, Stephan Bloehdorn, Achim Rettinger
The increasing availability of structured data in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format poses new challenges and opportunities for data mining. Existing approaches to mining RDF have focused on one specific data representation, one specific machine learning algorithm or one specific task, only. Kernels, however, promise a more flexible approach by providing a powerful framework for decoupling the data representation from the learning task. This paper focuses on how the well established family of kernel-based machine learning algorithms can be readily applied to instances represented as RDF graphs. We first review the problems that arise when conventional graph kernels are used for RDF graphs. We then introduce two versatile families of RDF graph kernels based on intersection graphs and intersection trees. These kernels can better exploit the inherent properties of RDF, while providing an easy to use interface between any RDF graph (including vocabulary extensions such as RDFS and OWL) and any kernel-based learning algorithm (which are available for solving many machine learning tasks). The flexibility of the approach is demonstrated on two common relational learning tasks: entity classification and link prediction. The results show that our novel RDF graph kernels with standard SVMs achieve competitive predictive performance when compared to specialized techniques for both tasks.
Keywords: Classification, Kernel Methods, Link Prediction, RDF

Ranking is an inexact science.
If that sounds familiar, it's because that's the way I chose to introduce the rankings to all of you on Wednesday. It's an inexact science because the answers are enigmatical. Even if you pick the right 10 players to be in your top 10, there are 3,628,800 different combination of orders in which they could finish. Now, I know, the likelihood of No. 10 Jake Peavy finishing No. 1 over Alex Rodriguez or even Johan Santana is pretty slim, but then again, so were the odds of Carlos Pena having more home runs than Albert Pujols at the All-Star break -- in almost 100 fewer at-bats, mind you.
So, when I set out to do my rankings, I'm not aiming as much for unattainable perfection as I am setting an order of preference. The players I'd like to own, give me a blend of statistics, stability and comfort, which comes with knowing what they're all about and anticipating things that may come. I also like to try to catch lightning in a bottle once in a while, hence my inclusion of Joey Votto at No. 225. Honestly, if we'd all ranked 250 players, he'd have dropped to that slot, but I wanted him included. I think he'll be relevant, and that you'll want to grab him now.

The Widows' Adventures
Morrow, 1989 - Fiction - 381 pages
Widowhood came late in life to Ina and Helene, two sisters living in Chicago. Now there is nothing holding them back from one last great adventure: a long, leisurely drive to visit family in Los Angeles. Only Helene knows how to operate an automobile, however, and she has been blind for years. But with caustic, beer-swigging Ina as her eyes, she's willing to get behind the wheel once again. And now, on sparsely traveled back roads in the dead of night -- cruising at a comfortable twelve miles per hour -- they're off to see an America they never knew.

By Ivonne Bordelois
From 1933 to 1971 (when regular publication ceased)
the review Sur, along with the publishing
house of the same name, was a witness to and an
elite stage for the most notable intellectual
avatars of the twentieth century, and still stands
as a reminder of the hope and daring vision of
the woman whose talent and extrodinary taste led
her to detect and fix in place some of the most
significant movements and questions of her time.
With the help of a group of hand-picked literary
lights, Victoria Ocampo unfurled Sur
as a foray into liberal thinking in the tumultuous
years before and after World War II. Loosing herself
from the aped tradition of the times, Victoria
was not only the channel for the translation and
diffusion of European and North American ideas,
but also a fiery emissary of Argentine and Latin
American writing in a world that was globalized
long before any such denomination was coined.
Sur was, above all, an international
meeting-place and a forum for writings and readings
of the highest order, which aimed to pin down
"the spirit of the times." From Rabindranath
Tagore to André Malraux, from Graham Greene
to André Gide via Aldous Huxley, from Jules
Supervielle to Alfonso Reyes via Dylan Thomas,
a whole constellation of indispensable names illuminated
the pages of this exceptionally long-lived review.
Gabriela Mistral was correct in her letter to
Victoria: "You have changed in the course
of reading throughout much of South America."
Though Sur has at times been called,
erroneously, "a translation factory,"
it is important to remember that the majority
of the short stories that would comprise Borges'
Ficciones first appeared in Sur in the
original Spanish. The names of authors like Paz,
Lorca, Alberti, Mistral, Neruda, and Cortázar
line the pages – a collection seldom brought
together in other publications of the era. In
the same way that Victoria was not merely a reader
or listener, but also a speaker and a writer,
Sur not only accumulated ideas, but generated
them as well.
Another prejudice, without grounding, paints Sur
as a platform for certain pre-established values.
When they assumed their positions at Sur,
Sábato and Bianco were unknown figures;
the same can be said of Murena and Pezzoni. Borges,
exaggerating, claimed he, too, was unheard of
before Sur; in reality the name 'Borges'
was brought into the international arena by Caillois
and Drieu La Rochelle, both contributors to Sur
and friends of Victoria who popularized the
author's works in France. Sur helped
launch the renown of writers of other nationalities
as well: Michaux practically didn't exist
before Victoria published his work in Sur,
and Caillois was just one bright young Parisian
among many when she met him, eventually making
him the editor who would have his books dropped
from airplanes as France was liberated at the
end of World War II.
In truth, Sur faced rocky beginnings
as skeptical authors were uncertain about sticking
with a risky enterprise. It was only when the
ship, agilely steering through reef-filled waters,
began to sail smoothly and to garner unexpected
praise from all quarters that the adventure grew
into a fervent project: the most reticent found
cover, incorporating themselves into the wake
of the national and international success so tirelessly
sown and harvested by Victoria. It was not without
justification that Octavio Paz was able to say
that Sur represented the freedom of literature
before authority.
Today the wake of Sur's successors
persists, bearing testament to the publication's
irrefutable message. It is a unique door, left
ajar to the richness and the contradictions of
the twentieth century, and a key that allows us
to "inscribe our own enigma in the universe
and begin a conversation with it." Hopefully,
this key can also help unlock the enigma of Victoria
Ocampo –who was, in the words of Paz, not
so much a figure of mythology as a woman endowed
with generosity, fury, and imagination –
and prolong her mysterious energy for the universe.

Trust me, this show isn't even half as bad as the others I've seen. If you really want to see a hospital transform into a full fledged
zoo within the course of a show then please do watch the shows Sanjeevani and
Dill Mill Gayye, the latter being an epitome of first class buffoonery.
I completely agree. Mallika exchanging the bottles was so completely inappropriate. Whatever grudges she has with Nidhi are personal and there is absolutely no need to unnecessarily drag the lives of innocent childreninto this pathetic war. Mallika is seriously crossing the line now. She is so insanely obsessed with Ashutosh and the idea of Nidhi supposedly stealing him from her that she is engaging in downright foolish behavior without any thought for the serious repercussions it could have.
LOL..Actually I have seen DMG, that is why I made the PS. about KTLK still being fairly decent. With DMG you couldn't tell whether it was a hospital or a mental asylum or a night club or a zoo or a jungle...
How I wish some basic research was done by the writers of
these shows. But I guess, they could care any less because in the end, it is
all about the love story.

Lol...yes, what the hell, if he can cover so many specialities already then why not cardiology too.
Fair enough, but shamil I'm not talking about showing second
by second details of the operation, neither do I want to see something like the
American tv shows where they go into full depth of showing graphic images of
the operation. I admit, there have been some good scenes in the show too, like
Ashutosh having a little talk with the sardarji and trying to get him to relax,
Nidhi explaining why an emergency operation needs to be carried out due to the
various complications in the pregnancy, also Nidhi talking about child
psychology and trying to be more friendly with the children but its gets insane
when there are scenes with Dr. Ashutosh just standing there and saying "Lets
go!" and then moving a finger and 5 seconds later going "I think we're done"...
:S. As you said, it would be more appropriate to show some kind of clock scene
with it showing a different time at the start and at the end, it would be more
palatable than watching the supersonic operations.
I know a lot of people love the show to bits, that's why I've been very pensive about making posts here, but I'm glad that even some of the fans here take humorous posts in their stride. And it's good to see even people like yourself who like MB/the show/Ashutosh-Nidhi, have the ability to think logically and can view the show without the rose tinted glasses. I truly appreciate the fact that you can laugh and make others laugh too :)
Your most welcome, i thought it was really sweet how you kept asking me to make a post :). I was going to pester you to update yours, but since you've already done that I'm not going to now
Tee hee...I actually did get a few good screen shots of MB. Here are some more for sheer eye candy purposes, especially for you :D
And this one is here, just because I find it ridiculously ADORABLE ...:)

Layers of Reporting for Your Fleets using GPS
FleetTracker provides many reports to help you gain valuable insight into mobile activity. From Daily Activity to State Mileage reporting, FleetTracker has the reports you need to understand your fleet at any level and spot trends in driver activity. Some of the reports available are:
Fleet Activity Report: The most commonly used, the activity report gives a comprehensive look into the activity of a vehicle or group of vehicles. The report shows when and where the vehicle started moving, for how long, how fast and the distance traveled. In addition, it shows when and where it stopped and for how long. All in one easy to read color coded report. Set up your landmarks and the reports will show not only the address but what that address means to you!
Vehicle Engine Runtime Report: The Engine Runtime Report monitors and calculates the total start and stop times for a selected date range. Perfect for seeing which equipment ran on which job and for how long.
State Mileage Report: This report gives the miles driven per vehicle by state.
Vehicle Speeding Report: The Speeding Report shows the date, time, location and speed of a selected vehicle over a specified time. A filter can be set to show only data over a certain speed.
Vehicle Stops Report: The Stops Report illustrates all stops made within the specified date and time range for the selected vehicle or group of vehicles. A filter can be applied that shows only stops over a specified number of minutes.
Vehicle Inputs Report: This report shows the activity of the inputs (i.e., PTO) for example, the device could be hooked up to monitor auxiliary equipment such as a pump or a compressor. It can also be hooked to any switch allowing for accurate reporting of when cargo bay doors are opened and closed.
Vehicle Time Sheet Report: The time sheet report shows the date, time, and location of when the vehicle selected started and finished within the specified time frame.
Alerts Report: The alerts report shows all Geo-fence, speeding, idle, acceleration, and deceleration alerts received from the device. For example, a speed threshold might be set for 80 MPH, if the vehicle exceeded 80MPH it is logged in this report.
Automated Reports Scheduling
This feature allows automated delivery of any reports to any email account at a set interval (daily, weekly, monthly). Reports can be sent in PDF, HTML, Word, and Excel formats. Users no longer need to be logged in to the system to get the critical information they need.

Sixers suck, halftime, Dalembert ejected, Spurs suck, MEEKS! -@fuckthemets
Acquisition of Jodie Meeks pays immediate dividends as his presence inspires the Sixers to beat San Antonio yet again. @KrazyCeltic
Iverson didn't get many min in 2nd half, Sixers youth ran road-weary/aging Spurs out of town in the 4th qtr. Good D, passing. @Kulp700Level
Lou Williams won. Iverson lost. Sami got sent to the showers early. The end. @ArenaMJ
while the sixers screw up their lottery chances, sammy d gets thrown out and lou-will has the best quarter of his life. WIN. @dmc0603
jodie meeks is a catalyst for change whether he plays or not. -@Seemedaggie
Undefeated with Francisco Elson on the roster - @jdjigga4885
Richard Jefferson blows. There. @igglephile
Willie Green doesn't play, Sixers win...I'm just saying. @dsabelson

Scorponok does have 2 modes... if u watch in the initial action sequence with Blackout fighting the army guys in Qatar. When Epps goes to take a picture of Blackout, Scorponok jumps off in robotmode and goes into the sand. He looks almost exactly like his robot mode in Beast Wars.

Malikon wrote:yeah he's in the air as a scorpion.
That's an interesting theory on some people not considering G1 to be G1 after the movie. I'd never really thought too deeply on it, but you're right. With me I tend to think of everything leading up to the movie as the first generation of TF's. Then after the movie it's all Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, blah blah blah. Prime makes a guest appearance in one episode. I guess I tended to think of the time period after the movie as more a G2 thing. To me G1 is Prime, Jazz, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, Ironhide, Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave, etc. The originals.
Not trying to be elitist, so far I've liked all the newer series I've seen. Beast Wars is turning out to be pretty cool, Armada was allright, Cybertron I liked a lot! And of course the movie I loved, but I do tend to think of G1 as ending when Prime kicks the bucket.
I could just never get into Hotrod, Magnus, etc. They're ok and all, they just seem to be lacking something imo.
Though Kup is really cool, I like him a lot. Did anyone noticed in the 2007 movie when Jazz transforms/slides and jumps onto Brawl, grabs the cannon turrent and yanks up, then Brawl transforms with Jazz on top of him?
That moment always reminds me of when Kup jumps on the tank that's shooting at Hotrod. Pretty much the same thing happens.
and I support Arcee in TF2, but only due to the fact that she's a motorcycle. I could care a less that she's female.

ExoMars program gathers strength
Under the agreement, the 2018 mission should see Russia fulfill more than 50 percent of the volume of work pertaining to the program. The information came during talks on the sidelines of the 2012 Farnborough Air Show earlier this week.
In February 2012, NASA announced its withdrawal from the ExoMars program, citing financial woes. As for the program, it includes a spate of several spacecraft elements to be sent to Mars on two launches. The launch of Entry, Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM), as well as the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is scheduled for 2016.
The EDM will enable the ESA to hammer out new technologies related to landing on Mars, a mission that is yet to be implemented by the ESA. This is not the case with Russian and US space vehicles which earlier successfully landed on the Red Planet, says Alexander Zakharov of the Moscow-based Institute for Space Exploration.
"Russian engineers will help their European colleagues to successfully implement the 2016 mission," Zakharov says, referring to the EDM which he recalls is currently being assembled in Europe. "The goal is to resolve an array of technological problems which is why there will be no research equipment on board the EDM," Zakharov explains.
The EDM will be equipped with special descent and landing sensors, while the TGO will deliver several Russian-made devices to Mars, Zakharov goes on to say.
"They will include three infra-red spectrometers, designed to study Mars' atmosphere for sources of methane, carbonic dioxide and water. The spectrometers will also help monitor temperature in the atmosphere," Zakharov says. "The Russian equipment on the ExoMars will also include a neutron detector to study water distribution under Martian ground up to 1 meter deep."
The detector will also be used for defining the level of radiation on the orbit which is relevant for future piloted missions. What about methane – the scientists want to find out how this gas originated on Mars. There are no volcanoes on Mars which are one of the sources of this gas and it can have a biological origin. The orbiter will produce a map of methane outputs from the underground of the planet in order to define a site for the landing on the next stage of the ExoMars project, which starts with the launch of the second Proton rocket.
"In 2018, the expedition's line up will also include a landing platform, which was designed by Russia's Lavochkin scientific development and production center. This landing platform will deliver the European mars rover on the surface of the planet. The rover will have Russia's (4:02) infrared spectrometer and neutron detector to study Martian ground. Most of the platform's equipment will be Russian. The approximate list of the equipment includes a manipulator for taking ground samples, a weather station, a panoramic camera, a magnetometer and a seismometer."
The key task of the ExoMars mission will be the search for possible signs of Martian life. The traces of microorganisms could be at a depth of two meters below the surface because deadly radiation does not reach there. The Mars Rover is equipped with a long drill to collect soil samples. Daily the rover will cover 100 meters. Russia's involvement in such a project is a good opportunity for supporting its research program in this area after the failure of the Phobos-Grunt mission.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: bakedjake
I am purchasing a workstation specifically that comes with Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS pre-installed for development projects (perl, PHP, MySQL etc).
My questions are:
1. any good books to recommend on Linux/Apache?
2. any WYSIWYG HTML editor's worth looking at?
3. how would you rate the RHE WS distro?
Any tips, pointers, or recommendations are appreciated!
i bought the linux cookbook and linux server hacks from oreilly - both excellent - so much stuff which i use now on a daily basis.
i think when starting out, it doesn't really matter which distro you get. most files are in the same place and the principles of things like apache, mysql, cron, file permissions, using the shell, are the same.
my tip of the day is learn to use the VIM editor - it will save you a great deal of time once you get proficient with it.
good luck
? -
you need
(info, man pages, and help are your new friends)
I personally avoid Vi/Vim/Emacs as much as i can - yes they're all very powerful, but they're also extremely awkward.
As for WYSIWYG i still prefer text editors - only i like them a little more polished and user friendly than the above mentioned ones - but that won't help you i guess. So, here's a small list in no particular order:
Open Office
Coffee Cup
IBM WebSphere Homepage Builder
Mozilla Composer
HardCore Web Content Editor
Oh, and here's a list of 124 WYSIWYG thingies from freshmeat [freshmeat.net] - don't say linux doesn't bring you choice ;)
Actually "wysiwyg" + "html" [freshmeat.net] is perhaps a better criteria - this list has 56 items.
Try Kate, that's a very good kde editor.
Gnome has a good editor called Screem. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like an advanced text editor without WYSIWYG.
Good luck.
On my home RH9 box I use the same text editor I use on my Win boxes at work: EditPad Pro, from JG Soft [editpadpro.com]. It works exactly the same on both OSs, so I don't get slowed down by needing to remember where I am. ;)
And I definitely agree with claus. You want to work with cron?
will help. Wanna get some info about vsftp?
man 8 cron
. I keep O'Reilly's "Linux in a Nutshell" handy, too. Chock full of goodies.
info vsftp
<edit>Last tip: Get to know and love your terminal. Some day it just may save your life.</edit>
I often use pico for editing on-server ... unless there are long lines, in which case pico breaks the lines during editing which sometimes causes problems (like with scripts) and necessitates further editing (you can fix the breaks ... you just have to ... fix the breaks).
You can also invoke pico as:
$ pico -w
That said, I worked at one job several years ago where the use of pico was considered grounds for a reprimand (and possible tar-and-feathering); it had the bad habit of mangling large files. vi basics are fairly straightforward; once in vi, you're in command mode. This used for, well, entering commands. Search/replaces, text finds, things like that. To get into text-enter mode, hit 'i'. To get /back/ into command-mode, hit 'Esc'. vi gives you all kinds of fun gizmos, like auto-indenting and 'showmatch', which shows which parenthese/bracket/brace you're closing, etc. I generally use 'vim' myself, which is a vi clone with other handy features, like syntax highlighting.
Man, that's the truth. I first started using vim in my early days with Linux. I'd broken X and the only text editor on that particular machine was vim. Up until then i'd always used jed. Once I'd figured out the basics, and some of the neat tricks you can do with vim, it became my primary text editor.
I've also had the occasional compile error using Visual Studio because of a :w in there somewhere.

Designer Rick Owens embarks on his first-ever furniture exhibition with his "Evolution" show in London. Owens' original foray into the furniture world came courtesy of his love of the work of Swiss-French architect, Le Corbusier. Unable to afford originals from the architect, Owens would re-create and re-appropriate his own pieces. The showcase includes common house-hold items such as chairs, sofas, tables and lamps constructed in an style that isn't unlike his more well-known fashion design. The exhibition is taking place at London's Sebastian + Barquet gallery until the end of the month.
LONDON — When Rick Owens is stuck for fashion inspiration, his first instinct is to turn to Le Corbusier for help — and the late Swiss-French architect never fails to deliver.
"I look at architecture for inspiration. If I'm wondering where to go with a collection, all I need to do is open a Le Corbusier book, and the consistency, the integrity of his work tells me what my next step should be," said Owens, who's famous for his dark, dramatic silhouettes and passion for fur.
Le Corbusier has been an inspiration in other ways too. When Owens realized he couldn't afford to own any works by Le Corbusier — or those by his other 20th-century design idols like Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Robert Mallet-Stevens and Eileen Gray — he started making furniture of his own.
"I faked it — I Scotch-taped things together and made cartoon versions, inspired by what I love," he said in a telephone interview from Paris. Over the years, his very personal furniture collections have blossomed into a design business that's shown and sold separately from his fashion line. Now he has his first-ever London show, "Evolution," at Sebastian + Barquet's gallery here, which runs until the end of September.
The show features Owens' imposing, raw-edged chairs, sofas, tables and lamps crafted from materials supple and sharp: Antlers, black-and-white marble, shearling and fisher fur.
He calls the antlers on his angular plywood chairs "brutalist crowns," and said he loves the way their elegance contrasts with the chairs' crude wooden shapes. Plywood is one of his all-time favorite materials, and a staple, "the washed black leather," he said, of his furniture collections.
He works in limited runs and tries to keep the collections "raw." The furniture sells through art galleries rather than through his stores. "It's 1,000 miles away from a 'home collection.' He is a designer who happens to be working in another medium — and coming from an entirely different direction from the fashion," said Oscar Humphries, who cocurated the show with Rudy F. Weissenberg. "He's got a clear view of how he thinks people should live, and that's very inspiring," said Weissenberg.
The limited edition pieces are for sale, with prices that range from 1,800 pounds, or $2,970, for a wooden bench to 22,000 pounds, or $36,300, for a suede and wood sofa. Owens agrees with the gallerists — he said he doesn't want the furniture to be viewed as some sort of accessory to his clothing. However, he admits the origins are the same. "It all has to belong to one universe," he said.

Discussion in 'SN95 V6 Mustang Tech' started by ZincPony, Jul 2, 2005.
Must be attracted by crap
mid pipe questions are crap?
Nope, the fact that people are still starting new threads asking questions that have been beaten to death, revived, and beaten to death again is whats crap. Thats why a lot of people including myself aren't around here much. 90% of the threads are basic questions like this or general questions about "whats wrong with my car." Nobody uses search thus it became a broken record and got boring.
yea yea yea...ANYWAYS h-pipes are in the 150-300 range..well for mac hpipes atleast, go to rpm-mustangs.com..and as much as you type complaining about the forums, you could just answer the question and save youself 100 extra words..making a point or not..what would be easier?
a buddy of mine has a 2002 and ran true dual. He got flowmaster mufflers and ran 2 straight pipes all the way back. He has no mid pipe and i'm not sure but he still has all his cats yet. With the firering order of the v-6 you can safly run with no mid pipe. I think it sounds almost like a GT and i'm yet to find some one that doesn't like it. Think the whole project costed about 150 bucks.
The best thing to do is just get rid of that crappy V6 and buy a GT, stop being a ricer!
Wassup nOOb
I wish I was still a noob, cause I knew everthing when I was a noob... now that i'm experienced and everything... I forgot alot of thing and got stupider... Thank God for newbies!
I would like being a nOOb 'cause I could write douchebag comments and everybody would think it's normal.
That's the awesome thing to do. All the cool kids are doing it so that must meen it's the way to go

Erica Sollazzo told Katy Kirker, her Poly Prep teammate, that fate was coming into play.
Kirker was having a great day at the plate, but had two costly errors at second base that led to five Susan Wagner runs in the fifth inning. Before Kirker got up to bat in the bottom of the seventh inning, Sollazzo pulled her aside.
"You're going to win the game for us," Sollazzo told her.
She proved to be prophetic. Kirker launched a deep fly ball to right field with one out, Christa Wojcik tagged up at third base and came home with the game-winning run in a come-from-behind, 7-6 victory for Poly Prep in a non-league game on Thursday, May 6 in Bay Ridge. The Blue Devils were down, 6-3, coming into the inning.
"I wasn't too happy with myself," Kirker said. "I wanted to get it back for the team."
The senior was really the hitting star all afternoon for Poly Prep. Her RBI triple in the first inning drew the Devils even with No. 6 Wagner at 1. In the third, her RBI single gave Poly a 3-1 lead. Her offense has been something that has come along lately and coach Mildred Piscopo batted her cleanup that day for the first time. Usually she's either in the fifth or sixth spot in the order.
Kirker's renaissance came in a 6-1 win against Riverdale on April 28. Piscopo told her after the game that she was impressed with what she saw.
"In four years, that's the best swing I've seen you take," the coach said she told Kirker.
Added Kirker: "I've just been more confident, more comfortable in the box."
Of course, she has had better days in the field than last Thursday. The usually sure-handed second baseman misplayed two balls in the fifth inning, one in which Wagner exploded for five runs to take a 6-3 lead. Falcons pitcher Taylor Sarcone's two-run single was the big hit, but Sollazzo, the pitcher, certainly deserved a better fate.
She – and the entire Poly team – got picked up in the seventh inning, though. Sarcone came into the frame retiring the last seven batters. But freshman Jackie Kennedy belted an opposite-field double to lead things off. Piscopo said she felt then that something positive would happen.
And it did. Katie Friel reached on an error and Jamie Sarubbi drove in Kennedy with a single. Wojcik reached on another Wagner error and Friel scored. Sollazzo's RBI groundout tied the game at 6 and Kirker finished it off.
"There's no better feeling in the world," Sollazzo said. "This is why I love softball. … These are the type of games we love."
Piscopo said this was the best game her team has played since a preseason trip to Florida. Sometimes, the coach said, the intensity level is actually higher for her players during non-league games against the city's elite teams rather than league games. Poly has, after all, won four straight Ivy League and NYSAISAA titles.
"This is one of the better teams we've played this year," Piscopo said.
Wagner coach Marco Altieri wasn't happy with his squad afterward, though.
"We threw the game away," he said. "We literally threw the game away. It was the quickest postgame [talk] I've had in 12 years. We have to do better than that. Unacceptable."
Factor in the exciting comeback, the fact that Poly was coming off a draining, 2-0 win against Fieldston on Wednesday and that ace Victoria Capozucca didn't start and this was a big-time win for the Blue Devils. This is the reason Piscopo stacks her schedule at the end of the season in preparation for the NYSAIS tournament – Poly has games left against St. Joseph by the Sea, Tottenville and James Madison.
"Psychologically," Piscopo said, "it's a good win."

Waking Times
Monsanto is quite possibly the world's most hated company, but few know much of the history of this multi-national giant.
"When a company claims its product improves on nature, many consumers happily declare the product an example of scientific progress. Equally powerful, though, is the inclination toward skepticism." – Jesse Hicks
This skepticism is the reason millions now understand the shady and insidious nature of corporations like Monsanto. In fact, in a 2013 poll Monsanto was declared the "most evil corporation" in the world, beating McDonald's and even the Federal Reserve by a wide margin. However, not everybody knows just how far back this corruption truly goes.
Here are five things you may not have known about Monsanto, but should.

PlayStation 3 gamers have been left outraged after the European PS Store update rolled out minus the promised inclusion of Valve's Counter-Strike Global Offensive.
The game did make its scheduled appearance on the US store yesterday.
Immediately after this week's update was posted on the EU PlayStation Blog, PlayStation gamers flooded the comments section demanding to know why CS: GO was missing.
However, it sounds like we're in for a short wait before getting an answer.
"[PlayStation Store staff member] Jawad's away from his desk for the next few hours but will be online to answer queries later today," blog manager Fred Dutton stated. "Hold tight."
This week's store update does, however, include a demo of Sleeping Dogs, indie shooter Retro/Grade and The Expendables 2.

Community Affairs publications update
Published July 1, 2010 | July 2010 issue
The Minneapolis Fed's Community Affairs team recently made a few notable changes and enhancements to two of its previously published materials. Details follow.
Online essays expand L3C discussion. In order to expand the discussion of a complex and compelling topic, Community Affairs has added supplemental materials to the online version of a November 2009 Community Dividend article about low-profit limited liability companies, or L3Cs. The article, "The L3C: A new business model for socially responsible investing" by Steve Davis and Sue Woodrow, generated considerable interest, both favorable and skeptical, among our readers. Accordingly, we invited some legal and development finance professionals to present their perspectives on the merits of the L3C business model. In the essays they submitted for that purpose, Daniel S. Kleinberger of William Mitchell College of Law and J. William Callison of Faegre and Benson offer a cautionary, negative assessment of L3Cs, while John Tyler of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and Marcus Owens of Caplin & Drysdale provide a cautious but positive perspective. To read the essays, visit the November 2009 edition of Community Dividend.
Report about costs of homeownership programs revised. A recently released Community Affairs report has been revised to reflect changes in the authors' methodology. When the report, "Gaining a Better Understanding of the Costs of Homeownership Programs: A Case Study and Recommendations for Minnesota's Home Ownership Center" by Leo T. Gabriel and Richard M. Todd, was released earlier this year, it triggered discussions among the authors and homeownership service providers regarding the way some components of the costs of homeownership programs had been classified. As a result, the authors decided to reclassify some of the expenses and repeat their analysis. The changes had little effect on the report's principal findings, but some results did change. For example, the average cost for foreclosure counseling at Community Action Agencies is now in line with overall foreclosure counseling costs. The new results appear in a revised version of the report.

Nadr moved to the US from Cairo at 14. He studied industrial design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and bought his first motorcycle at age 20. After a few years of riding aggressively on the highways, he was involved in a serious accident in which he broke his clavicle and two vertebrae. His passion for riding remained however, and after attending one track day; inspired by his mother's advise, at a local raceway he started road racing in 2007.
He competed in the American Federation of Motorcyclists series before he was promoted to the expert class after just one race. His results were impressive enough to draw the attention of local sponsors, and San Jose Yamaha stepped up with a brand new bike for the following season. Since then Nadr has competed with AFM, Utah Sportbike Association (UTSBA), Willow Springs Motorcycle Club (WSMC) and in 2009 received his pro license with the AMA.
In 2012 he completed his first full season with Meen Motorsports. Nadr recently graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Industrial Design specializing in motorcycle and transportation design, and is now ready to give his full attention to his racing career.
Nadr would like to thank Michael Perfetto from San Jose Yamaha, and Ameen Sajjadi from Meen Motorsports

After countless stops under their belt, Sneaker Pimps continues to impress as the epitome of successful traveling art showcases. Half way through their seventh year on the road, the Peter Fahey-masterminded tour shines as bright as ever, implementing all aspects of the sneaker lifestyle into a cultural bonanza that features live art installations, video game tournaments, skate sessions, and Hip-Hop concerts. We recently caught up with Peter Fahey to chat about various topics and learn more about the man behind the chain link fence.
An Interview with Peter Fahey (Founder of Sneaker Pimps)
Peter, Sneaker Pimps is now in its 7th year. Did you ever envision the tour shaping out the way it has? What were you initial expectations?
When I first started it, I never thought it would last as long as it has and go all around the world, but as the years have gone by I have definitely made sure that we keep making it fresh. Adding more music artists to it as well as bringing in other elements, which I feel, makes up the sneaker culture. Initially I just wanted to do an event that was different compared to other events and was something that I was personally into.
We can definitely see your into sneakers, music, and art, as all of those are incorporated into the shows. Do you have other hobbies aside from those? Are they something you could add to the Sneaker Pimps roster down the line?
Yeah man, I am not a hardcore gamer but I definitely love to play EA's Skate games, so this year we teamed up with X-Box to create a video game battle at the show, featuring EA Skate 2. Pretty much everything I am into you will see at the events: sneakers, skating, street art, basketball, and music. That's basically me!
Where you able to catch the NBA finals?
HELL YEAH!!! I was the only one of my touring crew that was rooting for the Lakers. We watched every game, and actually on the way from our Atlanta to Miami shows, we stopped in Orlando and got court side at the playoff game between the Cavs & Magic. Seeing LeBron in real time was amazing!
Kobe all the way man! Speaking of LeBron, who's signature line do you like better…Kobe or LeBron?
Kobe. All day!
Haha. Obviously you loves kicks. What are some of your favorites of all time?
That's such a hard question because I am always changing, Nike SB Dunk Lows and Highs are so dope. I skate in them and they are just so comfortable. I am also a huge fan of adidas Superstar Mids and for sure eS Koston 1′s. Those are the greatest skate sneaker of all time!! I am much more into skate shoes than anything else.
Koston 1′s are classic. It must have been great news for you then, to hear about Koston's switch to Nike SB.
MAN!!!! I was PUMPED. First of all. Koston has been my favorite skater since Mouse came out back in '94 and I religiously followed all of his releases on eS. When he switched to Lakai I wasn't really feeling the shoes that they put out (especially the copied eS 1), but yeah the Nike SB thing for him is so rad. Its like two of my favorite things coming together. I am waiting for the day they drop his first sneaker, and the SB video coming out? SICK!
Definitely. You grew up in Australia correct?
Yep, in Sydney.
How was the skate scene out there?
Well, I started skating in the early 90′s and back then it was all about small wheels and street skating, Hip-Hop and skating really started merging. All the inner-city skate rats were skating in J's and that's pretty much how the scene was in Sydney. I first went to the US in 2002, but from what I hear and saw in mags it was pretty similar to the US.
Hip-Hop plays a huge role in the street scene, along with skating. The entire scene is reflected within Sneaker Pimps. Early on, how did you manage to land such prolific Hip-Hop acts into your shows?
I really just pushed to get good music acts at the shows, it was like a personal goal. Before a tour, I'd sit around with my crew and we'd make lists of the artists we most wanted to book and then start going after them. The hardest part was getting sponsorship dollars together to pay for it because booking artists like Public Enemy, Nas, etc. isn't cheap. But it does help when 99% of Hip-Hop artists are sneaker fanatics.
That's for sure. Who's the biggest sneaker nut out of the acts Sneaker Pimps has showcased?
Hmmm… I'd have to say Nas! Also can't forget about DJ Clark Kent, there is a dude who lives and breathes sneakers.
So you guys travel year round, what has been your favorite stop thus far?
Man, I can't front, I love New York City! People here really love and appreciate the show, so I'd have to say NYC. But we once did a show in Jakarta Indonesia that brought out over 10,000 people.
Damn, that's a ton. With you guys traveling so much, do you have an actual city that you can call home?
Nah not really. I lived in Hong Kong for a year, lived in New York for a year, live in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Vancouver. But yea, still on the road with my wife and baby along with our touring crew. I think pretty soon we will settle in a city, but for now its city to city.
How big is the Sneaker Pimps traveling crew?
There is 7 of us. Sometimes we bring other people in for certain tours though.
Must be tough work, props man.
Yeah man, it's a huge job. None of us were trained for this, so we are still learning on the job you know?
No doubt. What's the biggest difference you've noticed within the sneaker audience now and when you guys first began?
The age range has shifted from 23-35 year olds to about 15-25, so we see a lot of kids coming through these days.
Yea, kids are starting off young in this industry, developing their own brands, etc. Do you guys have any plans for further Sneaker Pimps product?
Well, we did the whole brand thing and it was cool but I think, product wise, we are more into doing like straight tour tees and merchandise you can buy as memorabilia at the Sneaker Pimps shows.
With 2009 almost half way through, what plans do you have for Sneaker Pimps for the remainder of the year? or heading into 2010?
We still have another 17 cities of this US Tour left, a Canadian tour, a show in Mexico and a tour in Australia. Keeping it moving.
Best of luck in your travels Peter. Thanks for catching up. Any last words?
Thank You. I remember HYPEBEAST when it first came out, its dope to see the progression. Thanks goes out to my sponsors as well, Verizon Wireless & X-Box, my crew and of course all the fans!

I'm still waiting for an explanation. If what you say is true about the HVAC running for validity, then why is it not in my 2170-11 standard? Is there an updated one I am not aware of?
