FABTECH 2013 Largest Show in History
FABTECH announces that its recently completed show in Chicago set records for numbers of attendees and exhibitors as well as for floor space.
Chicago, IL November 22, 2013
FABTECH, the largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event in North America, announced today that its recently completed show in Chicago set records for numbers of attendees and exhibitors as well as for floor space. A total of 40,667 attendees visited 1,573 exhibitors to see live equipment demonstrations, compare products side-by-side to find cost-saving solutions at product displays spread across 650,000 square feet of exhibits at McCormick Place. Attendees also benefited from the FABTECH educational conference held simultaneously with the four-day expo that included an unprecedented number of expert-led sessions on some of the hottest topics in manufacturing.
"While breaking our own records is impressive, most important were the reports we received from attendees and exhibitors," said John Catalano, FABTECH show co-manager. "Attendees were impressed with the record size and scope of the show and the number of new products and innovative technologies on display. Exhibitors were enthusiastic and report that sales activity was brisk and leads were plentiful."
FABTECH attendees and exhibitors in Chicago also raised more than $15,000 for the victims of the severe storms and tornados that devastated Washington, Illinois and other areas of the state on November 17th. The five FABTECH co-sponsors made a financial commitment to start the campaign with all funds collected going to the American Red Cross to help victims of the storms.
"We send our condolences to the residents of Illinois, our host state for FABTECH 2013, and we know that many are struggling to recover from the physical and economic damage caused by these storms that hit on a set-up day for the show," said Catalano. "Some of our exhibitors and attendees were directly impacted by this tragedy, and we wanted to show our support. We are continuing to collect donations http://www.crowdrise.com/fabtechexpocares and encourage the manufacturing community to contribute."
FABTECH 2013 in Chicago sets the tone for the upcoming year of international programming by the FABTECH Partners. FABTECH Canada, will take place March 18-20, 2014 at the Toronto Congress Centre. On April 10-12, the inaugural FABTECH India, co-located with the India Institute of Welding's Weld India Exhibition, will take place in New Delhi. On May 6-8, 2014, FABTECH Mexico will take place at the Centro Banamex in Mexico City.
The five FABTECH co-sponsors represent a wide variety of expertise and include: SME, the American Welding Society (AWS), the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International (FMA), the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA), and the Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI). Together, these associations bring unmatched technical proficiency and industry insight to FABTECH.
FABTECH 2014 will be held on November 11-13, 2014 in Atlanta, GA.

Hugh & James are coming
Wasn't super excited about X-Men: Days Of Future Past until this morning. Because look at these great shots of Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy promoting the film in London today. They're both in leather jackets. Great. They're both hot, obviously. Great. But they're also our favourites – two of the nicest, kindest actors in the business, always gracious, always generous, always fun. When you combine the two…
No complaints here. In fact, it certainly helps. Now I want to see the movie more than I wanted to when I woke up his morning. And that's the job the stars are supposed to do.
Anyway, I'll stop talking now so you can enjoy these without my c-nting.

I've always had this theory that every single person on the internet is angry. A quick perusal of some of the most popular YouTube videos will prove me right.
The sheer amount of people flipping out or crying (including Rutledge Wood's favorite YouTube star) seems to far outweigh people smiling and laughing together.
For this year's Super Bowl, VW has forgone their popular Star Wars ads in order to bring together every YouTube fail into one giant lovefest in the middle of a field.
The music is happy. The scene is happy. The people are happy. That makes me happy.

Specifics about your multiboxing
What software are you using?
Junior Member
So you seen the blue posts about this cross realm zone we had small talks about it.
But does it really work like they said it would. Last time i tried it was very buggy and invited other players did not rezone the chars so i did not make a post/video and other stuff about it ok its not 100% working right now but its a lot better then before.
Few bugs there seems to be a bit off lag (OK maybe a little more then a little). not sure if its my end or there end. npc sometimes show
So am in beta now got in with the 250k invites a small thing i find out is u can logon multiple times so why not get some beta boxing going right?
We can TALK as meta to meta and understand it!!
So after about ten weeks trying to get my full (ok itams you can see) i manged to get the last head i needed for my t6 warlock set on all my gnomes
Then find a nice staff
I should get 3 accounts into beta maybe more when blizzard sorts out my accounts.
Am hoping to get warlocks to level 90 and see what there going to be like in pvp/pve/wpvp this is the group i really would like to work on in MoP.
Keep a eye on my Blog for all MOP updates!
So not going to say on here why am not in AutoBots anymore but a few off you might know why if not lets just say oh well.
Am in Honor Capped now its a Real Guild on outland with a lot off members it seems nice to be in a real guild always had a good feeling that it be cool to be with a lot off mutiboxers but its not as good as we all think till you try it. you might like it but it was not something for me. Anyway so i been in Honor capped for a few weeks but av not done a great deal

The training manual says to relax and breathe normally when scuba diving.
First there is the hollow, Darth Vader-like shssship as you inhale, then the sound of the bubbles you exhale into the sea.
Nearing panic, this is what I was desperately trying to do as my heart pounded and I sucked madly on my regulator, fighting the urge to gasp.
I was in trouble barely 10 feet down and 40 feet from the beach.
Perhaps I should back up and report that my wife, Bette, and I had come to Fort Wetherill State Park in Jamestown, R.I., to sharpen our diving skills.
We hadn't dived since we got our PADI certification nearly two years ago, and we wanted to prepare for later this summer, when we cruise to Roatan, Honduras, one of the best dive sites in the world.
Fort Wetherill is a 61.5-acre former military outpost on Conanicut Island at the mouth of Newport Harbor.
The park's two protected coves facing Narragansett Bay are arguably Southern New England's most popular dive training sites, so that's where we asked dive master Michael Ansaldi Jr. to lead us on our tune-up.
On any given Saturday or Sunday except in winter, Fort Wetherill's parking lot fills with recreational divers, so we made a point of arriving early, at 7:30 a.m.
Ansaldi, 47, a Barkhamsted resident, planned to take us on a tour of Sandy Beach cove, the shallower of the two, at about 35 feet. Its boat ramp gives divers an easy way to enter the water, too. (The easternmost cove - named West Cove - offers 70-foot depths for those so inclined and trained, but a rocky beach makes entry harder.)
Ansaldi happens to be this year's president of the Enfield Scuba Club, a collection of diving fans loosely affiliated with John Langlois, master diver and owner of a dive shop named Enfield Scuba and Watersports. Langlois, who organizes dive trips on a regular basis, had taught our diving class at the Mansfield Community Center.
We already owned our own hoods, masks, snorkels, booties, gloves and fins, purchased when we took our certification class, but Langlois supplied us with the other equipment we would need for open water diving in 60-degree water: a neoprene wetsuit, BCD (buoyancy control device/vest), regulator, air tank and a weight belt.
(Typical rental for the basic set-up for a day: $45 per person. The divemaster's fee was another $50, which hardly covered his gasoline for the 11/2-hour drive from eastern Connecticut to the park.)
Sink Or Swim
In particular, it was the weight belt, coupled with my rank amateurishness, that was the focus of my wretched state underwater at this moment.
My weight belt held four square 5-pound lead pieces and two 4-pound pieces, for a total of 28 pounds. That should have been more than adequate to allow someone my size to dive normally in salt water.
But owing to a few air pockets in my wet suit, and my anxiety, I simply would not sink as we began our dive.
I bobbed like a melon along the surface as Ansaldi and my wife began to move deeper and deeper below me.
Ansaldi returned to the surface, as did I, though all that was required in my case was to pick my face up out of the water.
"I'm not sinking," I said.
Apparently aware that inexperienced divers sometimes have buoyancy problems, Ansaldi had brought a few extra weights down to the boat ramp where we had walked into the water.
"Go back, and put two 2-pound weights in your pockets," he said. He and Bette bobbed around his white-striped dive flag as I swam back to the beach.
I probably should have removed my fins, which make walking nearly impossible, and maybe even dangerous when you have 60 pounds of gear on your back, but I chose instead to shuffle up the beach backward with the fins on.
Walking backward considerably lessened my chances of tripping, I reasoned, while also sparing me the difficulty of putting the fins back on. (No matter how easy the instructors make it look, putting on scuba equipment is a struggle.) I did not take into account that walking backward up the beach in a scuba outfit would make me appear to be a complete fool.
In the water, your gear is comfortable and light. The air tank, in fact, eventually becomes buoyant as it empties - another reason you need the weights.
I finally reached the weights. The act of taking off the weight belt, loading in the extra weights and returning the now 32-pound snake into position was harder still. It required all my strength to bend at the waist, flop the belt up onto my hips, pull it tight and rebuckle it as I sucked in my stomach and held my breath.
By the time I was finished and returned to join the others, I was panting like a dog.
"Ok then, here we go," Ansaldi said, and before I had to chance to collect myself, down he and Bette went. I followed without question.
Finding Calm
The extra weight was very effective in allowing me to sink along with them. But I no longer wanted to.
I confess I had been a little apprehensive as our diving date approached, and even though I had passed my certification test without difficulty, I was hardly comfortable about this refresher.
I knew I should calm myself and try to breathe normally, but I was losing the tug-of-war between my pride and my urge to gulp in air.
I wanted out of there.
Ultimately, I surrendered to the urge to surface.
I spit out my regulator and breathed unimpeded by devices as my heart continued to thump. I contemplated converting my diving excursion in the Caribbean to something more doable, like sunbathing. I wondered how I was going to inform my wife and the divemaster that I was aborting this dive and skulking back to the beach.
Then, in a matter of seconds, as my breathing slowed and I got myself under control, I rallied. I began to feel like I could rescue my pride.
I put the regulator back in my mouth, stopped kicking my legs and allowed myself to sink.
As I relaxed further, my heart slowed more. My breathing could keep pace with my lungs' need for air.
The steady rhythm of my breath became a kind of psychic metronome as I followed Ansaldi through the murky water; and before I knew it, I was having an experience akin to fun. Challenging, yes. Terrifying, no.
Visibility - or "viz," as divers call it - was not great at Fort Wetherill this day, owing perhaps to recent storms that might have washed silt into the cove. I wasn't helping the situation either by dragging along the bottom. My problem now was maintaining neutral rather than negative buoyancy.
I was making the classic beginner's error of adding or dumping too much air at one time, causing me to begin to bob up, then, by overcorrecting, to bounce off the bottom. I continued this pattern as I worked to stay just off the dive master's left side. He estimated later that the "viz" was a disappointing 5 feet, but there was no way I was going to let him out of my sight. In contrast to the bright blue sky at the beach, the underwater world was a grainy tan fog.
Encouraging Signs
After a while, I managed my buoyancy well enough to observe the underwater scenery Ansaldi was pointing out along our way: a starfish, a flounder, an old tire encrusted with sea life I could not identify, lots of brownish seaweed, and a hermit crab.
At one point, he pulled a small lobster from the bottom and held him up for us to poke at. Later, our dive leader signaled for my wife and me to wait for him as he surfaced briefly to check our position in the cove against his compass bearings. Another time we paused at the bottom to report the air pressure remaining in our tanks.
We had started with 3,000 pounds per square inch, and by the time we returned to the beach 35 minutes later, I had 550 pounds' pressure, my wife had 650. Ansaldi had 1,700, even though he had started with 2,800.
In my thrashing about early in the dive, I had apparently gulped down more than the normal amount of air. My crude attempts to maintain neutral buoyancy had also wasted air blown needlessly into my vest. Ansaldi, on the other hand, because of his experience, had used much less.
"With every dive, you get a little better at it," he explained.
And he was right.
On our second dive of the day, I swam without the extra 2-pound weights and returned with 1,000 pounds of air. It was an encouraging sign.
Now that dive trip in the Caribbean is looking better all the time.

WICHITA - A federal judge has ordered a convicted child sex predator to pay restitution to the 9-year-old Kansas girl he used to produce pornography.
A court filing on Tuesday modified the 260-year-prison sentence handed down in May for 50-year-old Philip Andra Grigsby, of Marquette.
U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten amended his sentence to include nearly $140,000 in restitution. The figure includes more than $126,000 for the girl and more than $13,000 for her mother.
Grigsby pleaded guilty last year to sexually exploiting a child, possessing child porn and illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
The investigation began after Grigsby sent emails containing child porn to an Australian man. Investigators were able to identify the victim after noticing the name of a middle school on a physical fitness certificate.

Scooby-Doo and the Toy Store Terror illustration will appear here.
I thought that this was a really good book. I liked it because I like to watch Scooby-Doo on Cartoon Network. My favorite part was when they found out who was behind the case. That was my favorite part because I wanted to know who did it. This story reminds me of when someone scared on my birthday. It was actually my mom.
I recommend Scooby-Doo and the toy Store Terror to people who like to watch it. I think that an audience that should reads this book is for people who like cartoons.

Improving the boot performance of a system can provide reduced boot wait times and a means to learn more about how certain system files and scripts interact with one another. This article attempts to aggregate methods on how to improve the boot performance of an Arch Linux system.
Analyzing the boot process
Using systemd-analyze
systemd-analyze command
systemd provides a tool called
systemd-analyze that can be used to show timing details about the boot process, including an svg plot showing units waiting for their dependencies. You can see which unit files are causing your boot process to slow down. You can then optimize your system accordingly.
To see how much time was spent in kernelspace and userspace on boot, simply use:
$ systemd-analyze
To list the started unit files, sorted by the time each of them took to start up:
$ systemd-analyze blame
At some points of the boot process, things can not proceed until a given unit succeeds. To see which units find themselves at these critical points in the startup chain, do:
$ systemd-analyze critical-chain
You can also create a SVG file which describes your boot process graphically, similiar to Bootchart:
$ systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg
man systemd-analyze for details.
Using systemd-bootchart
Bootchart has been merged into systemd since Oct. 17, and you can use it to boot just as you would with the original bootchart. Add this to your kernel line:
initcall_debug printk.time=y init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart
Using bootchart2
You could also use a version of bootchart to visualize the boot sequence. Since you are not able to put a second init into the kernel command line you won't be able to use any of the standard bootchart setups. However the bootchart2-gitAUR package from AUR comes with an undocumented systemd service. After you've installed bootchart2 do:
# systemctl enable bootchart
Read the bootchart documentation for further details on using this version of bootchart.
Systemd comes with its own readahead implementation, this should in principle improve boot time. However, depending on your kernel version and the type of your hard drive, your mileage may vary (i.e. it might be slower). To enable, do:
# systemctl enable systemd-readahead-collect systemd-readahead-replay
Remember that in order for the readahead to work its magic, you should reboot a couple of times.
Compiling a Custom Kernel
Compiling a custom kernel can reduce boot time and memory usage. Though with the standardization of the 64 bit architecture and the modular nature of the Linux kernel, these benefits may not be as great as expected. Read more about compiling a kernel.
Early start for services
One central feature of systemd is D-Bus and socket activation. This causes services to be started when they are first accessed and is generally a good thing. However, if you know that a service (like UPower) will always be started during boot, then the overall boot time might be reduced by starting it as early as possible. This can be achieved (if the service file is set up for it, which in most cases it is) by issuing:
# systemctl enable upower
This will cause systemd to start UPower as soon as possible, without causing races with the socket or D-Bus activation.
Staggered spin-up
Some hardware implements staggered spin-up, which causes the OS to probe ATA interfaces serially, which can spin up the drives one-by-one and reduce the peak power usage. This slows down the boot speed, and on most consumer hardware provides no benefits at all since the drives will already spin-up immediately when the power is turned on. To check if SSS is being used:
$ dmesg | grep SSS
If it wasn't used during boot, there will be no output.
To disable it, add
libahci.ignore_sss=1 to the kernel line.
Filesystem Mounts
Thanks to mkinitcpio's
fsck hook, you can avoid a possibly costly remount of the root partition by changing
ro to
rw on the kernel line and removing it from
/etc/fstab. Options can be set with
rootflags=mount options... on the kernel line. Remember to remove the entry from your /etc/fstab file, else the systemd-remount-fs.service will continue to try to apply those settings. Alternatively, one could try to mask that unit.
If btrfs is in use for the root filesystem, there is no need for a fsck on every boot like other filesystems. If this is the case, mkinitcpio's
fsck hook can be removed. You may also want to mask the
systemd-fsck-root.service, or tell it not to fsck the root filesystem from the kernel command line using
fsck.mode=skip. Without mkinitcpio's
fsck hook, systemd will still fsck any relevant filesystems with the
You can also remove API filesystems from
/etc/fstab, as systemd will mount them itself (see
pacman -Ql systemd | grep '\.mount$' for a list). It is not uncommon for users to have a /tmp entry carried over from sysvinit, but you may have noticed from the command above that systemd already takes care of this. Ergo, it may be safely removed.
Other filesystems like
/home can be mounted with custom mount units. Adding
noauto,x-systemd.automount will buffer all access to that partition, and will fsck and mount it on first access, reducing the number of filesystems it must fsck/mount during the boot process.
/home filesystem type
autofs, which is ignored by mlocate by default. The speedup of automounting
/home may not be more than a second or two, depending on your system, so this trick may not be worth it.
As mentioned above, boot time can be decreased by slimming the kernel, thereby reducing the amount of data that must be loaded. This is also true for your initramfs (result of mkinitcpio), as this is loaded immediately after the kernel, and takes care of recognizing your root filesystem and mounting it. To boot, very little is actually needed and includes the storage bus, block device, and filesystem. Falconindy (Dave Reisner) has begrudgingly created a short tutorial on how to achieve this on his blog.
Less output during boot
verbose to
quiet on the bootloader's kernel line. For some systems, particularly those with an SSD, the slow performance of the TTY is actually a bottleneck, and so less output means faster booting.

OKay...So I look at the timeline thread and I see the latest location listed there is Stonehenge, does that mean that it is a hoax?
Wonderful job with Joey everyone!!! Thanks to the whole team who spotted him as a hoax early on, especially Neobie, Rich, Caelestor and all the rest of you who PM'd me with your concerns. I am REALLY proud of you all!! But sad that one of our own would go to such lengths to deceive us , and kinda sad at losing some of those locations As TexasLady said, we had him by afternoon yesterday, but were waiting for him to hang himself, as he did. Do y'all know how hard it was for me to stay quiet and not blast him to kingdom come??And a special HUGE to TexasLady who was left with the massive clean up today!! Not any fun for her, so y'all be nice and don't make her move anything else today!! Love you!!
Damn. A hoax? I admit he had me going, too.

(Reuters) - Citigroup Inc (C.N) posted weaker-than-expected third-quarter earnings on Tuesday as bond market trading volume dropped, hurting revenue at the No. 3 U.S. bank and across Wall Street.
The bank's bond trading revenue dropped 26 percent, or $956 million, excluding an accounting adjustment, and revenue at most of its major businesses dropped.
The fall in fixed-income revenue could spell trouble for investment banks Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) and Morgan Stanley (MS.N), which post results later this week. Volumes dropped after the Federal Reserve said it plans to continue its bond buying stimulus program, giving assurance to investors that they can hold onto their bonds for a little longer.
Late in the quarter, investors also grew increasingly concerned about the government's fiscal impasse, which made many reluctant to trade.
"I don't think anybody wanted to get in front of that," said Diane Jaffee, who oversees about $6.5 billion of relative value mutual funds for TCW, and counts Citigroup among her top 10 holdings. The budget and debt ceiling crises continue to weigh on trading volumes in the fourth quarter, analysts said.
Investors pointed to Citi's efforts to control costs as the most positive part of the quarterly earnings. Similar moves could be imminent at other banks, especially as Wall Street bonus season - typically a huge part of their budgets - approaches.
In last year's third quarter Citigroup took a $4.7 billion charge before taxes, related to selling its Smith Barney brokerage business. For the bank's board, that hit was the last straw in a series of perceived missteps that ended up costing Vikram Pandit, then the bank's chief executive, his job.
Pandit's successor, Michael Corbat, has struggled to improve Citigroup's fortunes in an environment where client business is tepid and new regulations are raising banks' expenses. Those regulations are designed to make the banking system safer after the financial crisis, which forced Citigroup to seek government rescues three times.
Corbat told analysts in a conference call that business conditions would remain "uneven" for the rest of the year.
"While many of the factors which influence our revenues are not within our full control, we certainly can control our costs, and I am pleased with our expense discipline and improved efficiency year-to-date," Corbat said in a statement.
The bank's expenses fell nearly $500 million from the second quarter to $11.66 billion as performance-based compensation and transaction costs fell, partly reflecting a weak revenue environment, Chief Financial Officer John Gerspach told analysts.
Citigroup, which has said it was aiming to reduce costs by $1.2 billion annually, said on Tuesday it plans to cut areas like marketing expenses in the fourth quarter. But Gerspach said that no major new expense reduction plans are expected in the quarter.
Investors said that from the outside, it is hard to evaluate how the bank's cost-cutting is affecting its daily operations.
"All these banks are doing a lot on that front (cost cutting), including Citigroup, but it's hard to see from the outside what is happening," said David Ellison, portfolio manager in Boston at Hennessy Funds, which has about $4 billion under management and owns Citigroup shares.
"There's a dumpster in the driveway, but all the activity is in the house, and you can't tell what's happening inside."
The third quarter is typically a slow one for bond trading, a state that was only exacerbated by the Fed announcement, according to analysts.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, Citigroup's net income rose to $3.23 billion, or $1.00 per share, from $468 million, or 15 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding the Smith Barney charge, as well as the impact of tax benefits and changes in the value of Citigroup debts and those of trading partners, third-quarter earnings slipped to $3.26 billion, or $1.02 per share, from $3.27 billion, or $1.06 per share, a year earlier. On that basis, revenue fell 5 percent to $18.22 billion.
Analysts on average expected earnings of $1.04 a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. A spokeswoman for the bank said that estimate was comparable to the adjusted earnings of $1.02 per share.
Citigroup shares were up 14 cents to $49.74 in midday trading.
On some fronts, Corbat is making progress. Citigroup has winnowed down the assets it is looking to shed, known as Citi Holdings, to $122 billion, down 29 percent from a year earlier and down 7 percent from the second quarter. Citi Holdings now accounts for a little more than 6 percent of the bank's overall assets, compared with about 9 percent in last year's third quarter.
But results were weak at many businesses at Citicorp, the bank's main operations. Revenue for its retail banking business fell 7 percent to $9.24 billion, and revenue for its securities and banking business fell 2 percent to $4.75 billion.
Revenue at its transaction services business was $2.613 billion, about $6 million below the same quarter last year. The bank's transaction services business, long a key driver of profitability, is facing intense competition now.
The bank earned enough taxable income in the United States to use about $500 million of its deferred tax assets, which amount to tax credits and other benefits that Citigroup can only use when it earns enough money domestically. The bank had about $54 billion of deferred tax assets at the end of June, most of which relate to U.S. taxes.

Shortly after YouTube was convicted in Italian courts of copyright infringement, another Google project has been found guilty of copyright violations, this time in France.
French courts have ruled that Google is to pay publisher La Martinier €300,000 in damages for scanning rights-restricted volumes for its Google Books project.
The court additionally imposed a €10,000 fine for every day that Google continues to make books from French publishers available online.
The French government, which jealously guards its cultural history and language, already has a book-scanning project in place, but is lagging behind Google with only a tenth of the number of tomes digitized.
But the European Union, along with a French regional government, is also helping to fund a public-private partnership to scan the books collected in Europe's libraries.
And not just because Google is seen in terms of American cultural hegemony, but also because Europeans are worried about a single cooperation controlling the world's accumulated literary history.
Meanwhile, Google isn't the only Valley company dealing with uppity Frenchmen, as a recent strike at a Yahoo research and development lab near Grenoble continues.

The 1948 ALCO PA-1 diesel-electric locomotive recently gifted by the Smithsonian Institution to the Museum of the American Railroad has arrived in Frisco, Texas. The locomotive was shipped from Portland (Lebanon), Oregon where it had resided for nearly ten years awaiting ultimate disposition. Fort Worth-based Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway graciously provided the use of two flatcars and transportation of the rare locomotive to Texas.
The PA-1, numbered 59L when originally built for passenger service on the Santa Fe Railway, represents the zenith of post-war streamlined diesel locomotive design. Its distinctive exterior styling was by GE, then a partner with ALCO, and supplier of locomotives to the industry today. Santa Fe, a predecessor to BNSF Railway, operated premiere long-distance passenger trains between Chicago, California, and Texas. For two decades, ALCO PA-1s provided power for the line's named trains, including Super Chief, El Capitan, and the Chicago-Dallas/Fort Worth-Houston Texas Chief.
Painted in the line's classic "Warbonnet" scheme featuring brilliant red and yellow hues from the American Southwest, the Santa Fe PA-1s were considered one of the most striking and successful industrial designs of the era. The locomotive, while presently in poor condition as a result of a derailment on the Mexican National Railway (its third owner) in 1981, will be cosmetically restored to its former Santa Fe grandeur. "It's the successful end of a 26-year saga to rescue AT&SF 59 – when everyone at the Smithsonian thought I was nuts. Now it's the beginning of a new role for this great American icon, thanks to MAR," said Bill Withuhn, Curator Emeritus, Smithsonian Institution.
BNSF has been very supportive of this project, having been involved in the original movement of the locomotive during its repatriation to the U.S. from Mexico by the Smithsonian in 2000. BNSF officials expressed interest and excitement when the Smithsonian conveyed it to the Museum and plans were announced to restore it to Santa Fe livery. "We are indebted to BNSF for providing transportation of the locomotive to Texas. Without their support this project would not have been possible. We are proud and honored to preserve a part of the line's history and heritage," said Robert Willis, Museum Trustee and ALCO PA-1 Project Coordinator.
The locomotive was unloaded from the two flatcars on which the carbody and wheels traveled from Oregon. It was reunited with its wheels and now awaits stabilization and restoration. The rare ALCO joins the Museum's Historic Santa Fe Collection - a nationally significant assemblage of rare and unique locomotives & cars from the line. The locomotive is currently not accessible to visitors. It will reside at a private facility in Frisco until the Museum's new site is ready for occupancy. The Museum will mount a nationwide campaign to raise funds for the locomotive's repair and restoration, including fabrication and replacement of several exterior stainless steel panels. "The ALCO PA-1 locomotive has a strong following of devoted enthusiasts. With this project, they will have an opportunity to take part in the creation of a one-of-a-kind exhibit of an authentic survivor from the classic era of the streamliner," said Willis.
In addition to our gratitude to BNSF Railway, the Museum of the American Railroad is deeply indebted to Bill Withuhn, Curator Emeritus of the Smithsonian who – starting in 1984 – patiently and persistently negotiated all the details of the return of AT&SF 59L to the U.S. Without Bill's efforts, no ALCO PA-1s would be left in this country. The Museum is also indebted to rail preservationist Doyle McCormack of Daylight Locomotive & Machine Works, Inc. for preparation and loading of the ALCO PA-1 locomotive in Oregon. The Albany & Eastern Railroad provided storage of the locomotive and also assisted in loading the unit onto flatcars for transportation to Texas. Frisco Wholesale Lumber and Crocker Crane provided much-needed resources for the unloading and storage of the locomotive in Frisco.

Thankyou so much for creating something that can repair bad rips or essentially .. damaged CDs.I've started using the CTDB repair function and i'm absolutely loving it. I'm struggling with a certain feature of it right now though. Some of the albums I want to repair are showing up in the CTDB but when I attempt to verify them, it says for example " AR: offset 112, rip not accurate (0/116), CTDB: could not be verified ".Now this seems to be happening pretty much only for albums where the accuraterip log shows matches for multiple offsets and the CTDB repair function won't activate and encode my files because it doesnt know which offset to use. I tried telling cuetools what offset to use in order to force the encode, but it wouldnt do it. I tried fixing the offset of the files just incase that was causing it, but that wouldnt do it either. Now I know the repair function can only repair a certain amount of errors, but for these albums i dont think the error count would be that high. I think the CTDB just gets stuck when it doesnt know which offset to use..... which is weird, because if you look at the bold text above, cuetools + AR is able to figure out the right offset. Is there a way of telling the CTDB to use the offset that AR is seeing and then repairing the damaged tracks? This situation doesnt happen in all cases with multiple offsets, but just mostly when there is a large number of offsets or the confidence for track matches are quite similar for each of the offsetsAgain, this DB is awsome. If you have the time to populate it with your verified albums then please do so, because everyone benefits in the end. Last Edit: 2010-05-24 22:27:15 by Skybrowser

While all of this may surprise you, there are people in Raleigh who have been in the know for a long time.
Anyone who has enrolled in school or applied for a passport knows the value of a birth certificate.
This is a special series of stories tied to the piece of paper at the other end of life -- your death certificate.
No, you won't need the certificate, but trust me, it will be very important to the people you leave behind.
That's because death certificates do more than just certify your death. They also explain what took your life.
The stated cause of death affects the ability of loved ones to collect on insurance, hold others liable for your death if warranted, and ultimately come to some peace of mind about what killed you.
And that's just about you. Compiled and studied as vital statistics, death certificates reveal public health threats ranging from disease to environmental hazards.
But none of this works unless the facts are right. And as you will learn from this five-part series, titled "Fatally Flawed," that's a big problem in North Carolina.
Our team of reporters documented many troubles. But the bottom line is this: Our state stands out nationally for trying to investigate unexplained deaths on the cheap.
Each year about 75,000 North Carolinians die. A medical examiner is called in to investigate about 10,000 of those deaths because the circumstances are suspicious, violent, accidental or unattended.
That's where the trouble begins. The state requires no training for its medical examiners. And it pays them a paltry $100 per case. As a result, many deaths get little attention.
The effects on surviving loved ones can be devastating. We found case after case of grieving relatives forced to launch their own inquiries into how a family member died. Forget all you've seen on CSI. These circumstances were DIY (do it yourself).
The disgrace to our state doesn't stop there. We found an eastern N.C. county conducting an earnest campaign to fight heart disease. Its inspiration: state statistics suggesting that residents were up to 10 times more at risk of dying of a heart ailment. Experts say it's more likely that the county's medical examiners simply chose heart disease as a catch-all explanation in processing death certificates.
Our Legislature was first warned about problems with the medical examiner system 13 years ago, through another Observer series called "Grave Secrets." Those stories triggered a 2001 commission that recommended improvements. A handful of suggestions were adopted, but many others were ignored.
Now, a new team of Observer journalists has burrowed into the system. They examined more than 130,000 deaths investigated by medical examiners since 2001. Their work is the most comprehensive analysis of state death rulings ever conducted.
And while matters have only grown worse, it doesn't have to be this way. We'll show you how another state helps families get to the truth about causes of death, bringing them the closure they desperately need.
I hope you'll read the entire series and support something better for North Carolina. Both you and your descendants deserve it.

During that crisis, the administration acted promptly and vigorously
- In defense of a rabidly anti-American Honduran president, against the more pro-American branches of the Honduran government;
- In support of generally anti-American multilateral organizations, such as the OAS; and
- In favor of an unpopular would-be authoritarian, battling against democracy, rule of law and popular opinion in his own country.
Since then, the administration's major initiatives have included
- A marked cooling in relations with democratic allies such as Israel, Britain and Colombia;
- Eager (and largely failed) attempts at "engagement" with virulently anti-American, anti-democratic regimes in Russia, China, Syria and Iran; and
- Enthusiastic embrace of anti-American multilateral institutions such as the UN and OIC.
The pattern is unmistakable--the only remaining question is whether the anti-American or anti-democratic impulse is more dominant. (Given the general hostility of multilateral organizations to American power, the multilateralist impulse is simply an aspect of the anti-American one.) And the popular uprisings in the Middle East have provided ample clarification: the most pro-American dictator in the region, Hosni Mubarak, was quickly abandoned in favor of a possibly more democratic but definitely more anti-American mob of protesters.
Since the start of the Cold War, the dominant foreign policy issue dividing politicians around the world has been the desirability of American power and influence. And in Western Europe and America, the broad coalitions of the "left" have lined up against it, while the opposing coalitions of the "right" lined up in favor of it. During the 1970s and 1980s, for instance, the leftist position was that America was supporting brutal right-wing dictators in the name of battling Communism, while conservatives made fine distinctions between "authoritarian" (i.e., pro-US) and "totalitarian" (i.e., pro-Soviet) dictatorships. Today, of course, their positions on democracy are essentially reversed, with "neoconservatives" taking an idealistic line in favor of democracy promotion, while left-wing "realists" defend pragmatic multilateral engagement with powerful tyrants.
This swap of positions demonstrates that in neither case is democracy the true motivating issue. Rather, it is the issue of American power that drives the debate on both sides, as the political contortions over Libya--the liberal obsession with avoiding the appearance of American leadership, the conservative fixation over saving America's reputation--once again demonstrate.

Bryce Hendrix wasn�t even in the final playing group on Wednesday, much less a thought to win the 28th annual Roy Jones/BB&T Junior Golf Classic.
But Hendrix thought otherwise.
Bryce Hendrix wasn�t even in the final playing group on Wednesday, much less a thought to win the 28th annual Roy Jones/BB&T Junior Golf Classic.
But Hendrix thought otherwise.
The Greenville native went low on both sides of the course, and fought his way back after trailing the first-round leader by five strokes to capture the 16-18 age group and overall championship with a two-day 1-under 171 at the Kinston Country Club.
Hendrix, a rising junior at Greenville Conley, trailed Kinston�s Riley Davis after firing a 2-over 73 on Tuesday. But over the course of the final 18 holes on Wednesday the leaders fell behind while Hendrix took over.
�I�ve just been playing good the past couple of weeks and I thought I had a pretty good chance,� a speechless Hendrix said. �I knew (the leader) probably wouldn�t shot a 68 again.�
Davis, who�s first round 68 matched a tournament low with Hendrix�s Day 2 score, didn�t have as good a day as his first.
The Parrott Academy graduate stumbled to a 10-over 81 on Wednesday, was 7-over on the front nine to fall out of contention and finished the tournament eight shots back of Hendrix.
Fellow Parrott Academy standout Jack Sides was in contention until the 18th, when his tee shot sailed out of bounds.
Sides, who denied a request to be interviewed by The Free Press following the tournament, finished in third with a two-day 143.
Last year�s winner, P.J. Kester of Wrightsville Beach, shot a 1-under 70 Wednesday to finish in second.
But Wednesday was all about Hendrix, a first time winner who said he�s been playing well of late.
�Honestly, I don�t even know,� a speechless Hendrix said. �I�ve just been playing great the past couple of weeks. At my last tournament I shot a 68 � and came here and I just kind of did my own thing.�
Hendrix said his ball-striking was vastly improved from Tuesday�s round, which was evident on the par-4 16th.
Hendrix landed his 3-wood off the tee to about 150 yards of the cup. He then stuck a knock-down 9-iron to within 20 feet, then holed out from there.
Hendrix also played the front nine bogey free.
�Yesterday my swing was not in-sync at all. I just was not hitting it well but today it kind of clicked a little bit better,� he said.
�That kind of got me going a little bit.�
The win was retribution of sorts for Hendrix. He led the field last month after the first day of the NCHSAA state 3A championships with a 4-under 68, then returned the following day to go 2-over and finish third.
Patrick Stephenson of Four Oaks won the 14-15 age group with a two-day 142. Washington�s Matthew Chandler, who had the second-best day with a 69 on Tuesday, went 1-over on Wednesday but won the 12-13 age group with a 141.
Connor Dunn of Raleigh shot an 80 to win the 10-11 age group, which plays only nine holes each day.
Retired local businessman Roy Jones, along with his wife, Brenda, began this event 28 years ago.
While there�s no exact timetable for how long the Joneses will continue to be involved, he did hint at making it to year number 30.
With each passing tournament it keeps improving, he said.
�I�d have to say this year has been as good as any we�ve ever done,� Jones said. �It seems like it always gets better.
�It�s been a pleasure to do it for 28 years. Let�s say we�re going to look at 30 and then we�ll think about it.�

Phils Pecked By The Jays; "She-Fan" Review
The Phillies dropped their second exhibition game yesterday, losing to the Blue Jays 6-2. The good news from the game was that Carlos Carrasco and J.A. Happ each pitched two scoreless innings. Carrasco struck out three, without giving up any hits, and Happ struck out one while giving up one hit. So it looks like the competition for the fifth starters' spot is already off to a blazing start.
What is not off to a blazing start is the Phils' batting. Rather, the bats still seem to be hibernating. According to Charlie Manuel, "Our hitting is behind. But we haven't seen a lot of live hitting yet. Our players didn't get here until the 17th."
Um, Charlie, wouldn't the other teams be in the same boat too? The Pirates' and Blue Jays' bats apparently aren't so far behind.
OK, I know these games don't matter, etc. etc., and the runs have been given up not by the starting rotation guys, but by the non-roster invitees. But the Phils weren't facing the other teams' aces either, so let's wake up those bats, please!
Breaking news! The Phillies have released Adam Eaton. Looks like the team will end up eating $9 million on Eaton: $8.5 million for this season, plus a $500,000 club option for 2010. I'd still love to know why the front office thought that signing a pitcher whose ERA has never been below 4.00 was a good idea. For three years, no less! I will be interested to see if he ends up getting picked up by another team.
Book Review time
Earlier this week, I finished reading Jane Heller's book Confessions of a She-Fan. Keep in mind that I was only familiar with Jane from her MLBlog of the same name, and then only since the beginning of February when I started this blog.
I was initially taken aback (slightly) by the true depth of Jane's vitriol towards the Red Sox and their Nation. Of course, Jane can't use some of the words directed at said players and fans here on the blogs without getting in trouble!
Being neither a Yankees nor a Red Sox fan, I was able to enjoy the book without reliving the heartbreak of the 2007 season (for Yankees fans), or being offended (for Red Sox fans). In fact, quite a few times while reading I was laughing out loud, to the point that my husband or children were asking me what was so funny. I don't want to give anything away here to any of you who haven't read the book yet, so I won't go into specifics, but suffice it to say that she-fans of any team will enjoy it!
The book is more than just a recap of the Yankees' 2007 season, and Jane's experiences following the team across the country for the second half of that season. She deftly interweaves stories of her early years of Yankee love, and her personal life as well, into the week by week travelogues.
Also woven into the mix are the various attempts by Jane to gain access to the pressbox and the team, and how she seems to be thwarted at every turn by one Jason Zillo, the Yankees' media relations director. All she wants is to talk to just one Yankee! By the end of the book, any Yankee will do.
Though the book is subtitled "The Course of True Love With the New York Yankees", it also touches on the course of true love with her real-life husband, Michael, who has accompanied Jane on this adventure. We see the ups and downs of her relationships with both Michael and the Yankees. As the old quote goes, "The course of true love never did run smooth."
My favorite parts of the story are like bookends – one at the beginning (in the prologue), when Jane sights A-Rod in a Toronto restaurant, and one near the end, when Jane ventures into enemy territory at Fenway Park. After having been told to be on her best behavior and not draw attention to herself as a Yankee fan, what Jane finally does at the end of the game is worthy of a You-Tube moment!
Jane, I have found a comfortable home for your book here on my bookshelf, nestled in between Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth:
I avoided even putting you on the same shelf as this:
in order to avoid any karmic rage that could come down upon me! 🙂

Théâtre Aux Ecuries to Present BLISS, March 5-9
Théâtre Aux Écuries presents a Candles are for Burning production, Bliss, written by Olivier Choinière and translated by Caryl Churchill. Directed by Steven McCarthy, the production will play Tuesday, March 5 - Saturday, March 9, 2013.
An oracle stands in a Walmart lunch room and directs three fellow employees in a wild fantasy taken from the pages of a tabloid. What's wrong with Celine? Why is she turning her back on her glamorous life? And how is her story connected to the story on the opposite page: a complete unknown abused by her family? This darkly surrealist theatricalization of sensational press stories about Gods and monsters is the ultimate revenge.

My wife is nearly independent now and I'd like to surprise her with a new board. She's currently riding an Ocean Rodeo Mako and likes the board, but the stance on the Mako is a little wide for her. It's doable, but she'd rather ride something with a narrower stance. I've been digging through women's boards, but can't seem to find anything that would ride similar to the Mako. We're both learning to kite in our late 50's so there's be little aerial action in our future, mostly just cruising and a few carves here and there.
Any women out there have any experience with, or suggestions for a good board for her that rides smooth in chop, has a narrower stance and descent upwind and carving ability?

Born in 1974, Aubrey Haynie has wasted no time in establishing himself as one of the most talented fiddle and mandolin players in contemporary country music. Haynie has been one of the most sought after session players in Nashville, having appeared on releases by George Jones, Porter Wagoner, Trisha Yearwood, and Bryan White among others, and with tours in the bands of Aaron Tippin and Clint Black padding his resumé, as well. Comfortable in a variety of traditional musical genres, from bluegrass and country to more swing and jazz-oriented styles, Haynie has drawn comparisons to swing and bluegrass fiddler Chubby Wise, who served as something of a mentor to Haynie in his youth, and accolades from Ricky Skaggs, who contributed vocals on Haynie's debut. 1997's Doin' My Time — an excellent mix of traditionals, covers, and original instrumentals mixed with the occasional vocal track — was well-received in the bluegrass community and netted Haynie a nomination from the International Bluegrass Music Association for Instrumental Album of the Year. The similarly impressive A Man Must Carry On followed in the spring of 2000 and only added to Haynie's growing reputation. ~ Matt Fink

Judging from the industry stats I've seen lately, the concealable handgun market is chugging right along. (The sporting rifle and shotgun market are a bit flabby and the AR craze is cooling off, at least temporarily, if you care to know.) I'm not sure what's driving this surging interest in concealed-carry guns but suspect it's the spate of pro-gun court rulings that have been issued as well as the growing realization that citizens are primarily responsible for their own well-being. Whatever the reason, we've got a lot of first-time "concealed carriers" entering the gun market. That's a good thing, just on general principles.
It's been 30 years since I first acquired my carry permit, and guns are a big part of my personal and professional life. But I can still remember when I was a newbie. In those days, there weren't a lot of how-to guides that explained how to use a self-defense handgun: you had to read a schwad of magazine articles (still a good idea) or enroll in a defensive handgun class (also still a good idea).
For today's concealed-carry newbie, however, things are a lot easier. Besides having more options in guns, ammo, holsters and accessories than ever before, we've got excellent one-volume guides to concealed carry such as Defensive Handgun Skills by Dave Fessenden. Fessenden, a certified NRA Firearms Instructor, has cleared away all the clutter about concealed-carry handgun techniques and distilled a lifetime of experience into only 128 pages. He's given us what I think is the best how-to guide to carrying and deploying defensive revolvers and semi-autos — he doesn't overwhelm you with technical jargon or complex technical issues. For the concealed-carry beginner, it's a no-sweat introduction to the carry gun — and at only $11.55, it's about half the price of a large delivered pizza, even a crummy one. Check it out here.
And keep shootin'!

On Leddy School's last day as an elementary school, students and teachers spent time reflecting on what the tightly knit Leddy community has meant to them.
On Leddy School's last day as an elementary school, students and teachers spent time reflecting on what the tightly knit Leddy community has meant to them.
"Sometimes when we end the school year, we get a little sad," Principal Rebecca Couet told the students during an assembly Friday afternoon. "When we end this school year, we're not coming back to Leddy School. We're going to different schools. But, I know you all love Leddy School."
The School Committee voted earlier this month to close Barnum School, relocate the Barnum preschool program to Leddy School, and disperse Leddy's K-4 students to other elementary schools in the city.
Leddy, with a student enrollment of just 123, held its last ever day as an elementary school on Friday. It was the smallest elementary school in the city.
"I feel like it's the end of an era of a neighborhood school," Leddy School nurse Christine Kimball said. "I know every child's name, I know their parents and I love them all."
Students at Leddy will be split between East Taunton, Elizabeth Pole and Mulcahey elementary schools when the new school year begins in the fall.
Superintendent Julie Hackett first introduced the plan to close Barnum and redistrict Leddy at a May 1 School Committee meeting. During subsequent meetings and a public hearing, several Leddy parents spoke in opposition to the plan, expressing concerns about class sizes and the disruptions the redistricting could cause for their children.
Some Leddy student already underwent redistricting when Maxham and Walker schools were closed.
The main rationale behind the plan was to find a more suitable location for the preschool program. While Barnum School is in sound shape, its stairs are difficult for young children to navigate, it doesn't have much outdoor space or a gym, and its classrooms lack sinks.
The single-story Leddy School, Hackett said, offers more space, larger classrooms and more appropriate amenities for preschool students.
During a send-off ceremony Friday afternoon, Couet gathered the students and teachers into a large circle and had everyone take turns saying what they love or will miss about Leddy School. Many students said they will miss their teachers and their friends. Several said they will be separated from close friends next year due to the new school assignments.
PTO president Amybeth Silva recalled the warm atmosphere she often experienced at Leddy School.
"It's like a part of my family," she said. "It gives me a really nice feeling when I come in."

"Fast & Furious 6," — which surely maxed out Universal's tank-top budget for the year, and sustains its joyful, unpretentious ridiculousness so perfectly that I secretly hoped the "6" meant "hours long," — ends with a disclaimer, the sort of small-type legalese that typically arrives at the tail end of the closing credits. Except here it's at the immediate end of the story, like a Viagra warning/promise of a potential nine-hour, uh, adrenaline rush.
To paraphrase: On the way out of this theater, should you get the urge to drive your tank into oncoming traffic across a towering bridge in Spain, or feel the need to race a Dodge Charger down a runway and bring down a military transport with harpoons, Universal Pictures will not be held responsible.
Now here's the thing: I am being only partly facetious.
Indeed, that disclaimer may even be wise. Because regardless of the unbelievability of what transpires, the sixth installment of this fun car-thieves-with-honor series — the fourth directed by the craftman-like Justin Lin, quick becoming the John Ford of downshifting — has a genuinely warm, infectious sense of playfulness, an anything-goes, real-world tangibility that other grim-faced, CGI-centric summer franchises long ago gave up on. It's as if it's 1987 again, and the filmmakers ran into Universal shouting the plot with the frenzied rush of a 6-year-old: "And then the tank crushes the cars, and then it flips, and then the military guy says 'we don't negotiate with terrorists,' and then The Rock says 'Wait, yes we do,' then a big airplane explodes ..."
Without a doubt, oodles of digital effects have been mixed in there somewhere — when a character leaps across three lanes of traffic, catches a racing compatriot and lands on a moving car, the spell is broken momentarily. And the storytelling is never as inspired or clear-minded as the film's action-movie spirit. But as a welcome reminder of how to keep a silly franchise fresh and lighthearted — without succumbing to the heavy grit and intensity that Hollywood too often confuses with relevance — it's a surprising, unlikely delight.
Even the villain — an international man of mystery (played by Luke Evans) with a pencil-thin, silent-movie mustache and a powerful weapon component that can bring down a nation, so we're told — seems happily shocked. How remarkable that, in a decade or so, a team of streetwise car thieves led by Vin Diesel's Dom has gone from stealing DVD players in East LA to, well, wrestling with terrorists on the tarmac of a European runway, the fate of the world in the balance! In fact, to be more specific: Since the first film, Diesel's road racers have become expert drivers, crime fighters and counter-terrorism experts, adept at aerodynamics, military acumen and computer science. Or as Chris "Ludacris" Bridges' character explains, after a few keystrokes on some random laptop: "I just jammed every signal up and down the spectrum!"
Of course you did. In the span of six pictures, with increasing fluidity, members of the team — they don't really have a name, which is a branding blind spot — have become sophisticated citizens of the world, a kind of Pep Boys-Julian Assange collective, their (victimless) robberies and flouting of U.S. traffic laws forcing them into exile. The opening of the new film finds us in the Canary Islands, where Dom — and now yearning for home. In the previous installment, he stole $100 million in Brazilian drug money — the spectacularly destructive getaway remains the series' high point — but now he wants to turn in that bling for an old-fashioned barbecue in his Los Angeles neighborhood.
Enter federal agent Hobbs (played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), who wanted Dom and his multi-ethnic band of thieves — including the less-excitingly named Brian, played by Paul Walker, a less exciting, discount-Paul Newman — taken down in "Fast Five." Now he sees a need for Dom and his racers: There's that British terrorist, and he improbably leads his own racers, so why turn to the CIA or MI5 when you can ask those goofballs who know how to drive really fast?
"You need wolves to catch wolves," Hobbs explains.
If they succeed: Full exoneration and a return to home — no more lazy Sundays with nude models in exile.
Actually, if "Fast 6" — as the title card at the opening refers to it — shows any new ambitions, it's by enthusiastically embracing its inner-Telemundo, its heated, knotty "Game of Thrones" melodrama: Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) — whom everyone thought was blown up in the fourth film, a victim of the gang's attempt to bring down a Mexican cartel — is alive and working for the British terrorist. And she has amnesia! Similarly, Han (Sung Kang), who supposedly died in the third film, remains in the team and has fallen in love with another racer, Gisele (Gal Gadot), a former Mossad agent, who as far as I could tell has no big secrets.
Though I suppose the film is also at its creakiest in these moments — there's a longish middle section where in which you wonder where Lin left all the gas pedals — that human stuff rarely feels dull. Even bits of class resentment come and go with breeziness; a bit featuring Johnson/the Rock, Ludacris and a sniffy Brit (he mistakes them for "kitchen help") is straight out of a Cheech and Chong movie, but I liked Cheech and Chong movies.
So maybe none of this is convincing. But the cast seems to sincerely like each one another, and the coziness goes a long way until the next action scene. Which are worth the wait, of course: Lin, who knows how to stage a chase as well as the next Bond director, sprinkles them around generously, topping a tank fantasy with an airplane heist and punctuating a "Road Warrior"-like pursuit through London with a car flipping end over end through a glass office complex. By this point in the series, it goes without saying that the action is spectacular, but less obviously perhaps is that Lin understands the visceral possibilities of space — the closeness of tires, the wedge of room that allows a car to escape a tight bind. He's has said in interviews that before he shoots such sequences, he stages every chase with toy cars and imagines the possibilities. And indeed, it's a testament to this freewheeling big-budget plaything that his 6-year-old self is still very much evident.
And how that 6-year-old could work in that harpoon.

Holiday Traffic
(before 2003)
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Many people go out of town for this long holiday weekend. Sometimes traffic can get very bad. Be ready for bad traffic if you are going to drive to the Lake Tahoe area.
Some are saying that people will have lots of time to look out their windows. Traffic will be very bad in the Lake Tahoe area. You will be sitting in your cars for a very long time.
Police officers will try to help. Many of them will go to the Lake Tahoe area. They hope to direct traffic and keep cars moving.
It is important for everyone to stay safe when they are on the road. Holidays usually bring more traffic. Everyone needs to be ready for longer waits and stay calm.

Simple swaps for healthier lunches
Just juice
Juice boxes are instant kid magnets – who doesn't want to drink out of an eye-catching little juice box with a tiny straw? However, many juices are nothing more than sugar, water and artificial coloring. Ditch the sugar water and pack your kiddos' lunches with 100 percent fruit or vegetable juices.
Real fruits and vegetables first
Fruit snacks may be conveniently packaged in small snack packs, but it doesn't take that much more effort to include real fruits and vegetables in your children's lunches. Fill snack bags with pitted cherries, apple slices, baby carrots, edamame or other fresh produce. Dried fruit and vegetables also are easy to pack and offer concentrated nutrients and flavors.
Whole grains rule
Swapping the white bread or white flour tortillas for whole grain varieties will give your children's midday meal more texture, taste, and a healthy load of fiber, protein and other nutrients. Instead of pairing chicken, beef or fish dishes with a side of white rice or pasta, substitute brown rice, quinoa, bulgur, whole wheat couscous or whole wheat pasta.
Delicious dairy
Dairy and many dairy alternatives are a satisfying source of nutrition. Keep your kids off the cola and give them dairy milk or soy milk, instead. Include a small container of plain yogurt mixed with honey, agave, and fresh fruit instead of high-sugar smoothies in a bottle. Swap out high calorie candy and trail mix for a cheese stick and baked crackers. Lighten up on the mayo and layer wraps and sandwiches with a thin slice of cheese.
Munchie musts
Snacks and desserts can easily be part of a healthy school lunch. Go for baked crackers and chips instead of the fried varieties. Steer clear of store bought trail mix, which is often loaded with sodium, sugar and fat, and make your own with raw nuts, seeds and dried fruit (throw a few dark chocolate chips in for fun). Include small cups of low-sugar gelatin and pudding. You can even sneak in cut vegetables with a side of low-fat ranch or other low-fat dressing.

Seems like
is MIA, but safe though.
Representatives at MCA haven't been able to locate one of their marquee players - the GZA. Publicity has listed the rapper as "MIA" (missing in action), setting off speculation about the rappers whereabouts and even his health.
RZA confirmed with
that GZA is alive and healthy. While RZA didn't offer an explanation for GZA's sudden disappearance, sources at MCA said the rapper, who said in reports that he has no longer uses profanity in his rhymes, may have just been tired from a lengthy radio tour promoting his latest album, Legend of the Liquid Sword.
Let's move on... shall we?
Ghostface Killah
is being accused of ripping off a Bronx man's music in Federal Court. Michael Artis filed a lawsuit against Ghostface in Federal District Court, Southern District of New York in September 2001, claiming that the song "Mighty Healthy," a cut on the Supreme Clientele album, was a complete rip off of his work.
The lawsuit alleges Dennis Cole's a/k/a Ghostface Killah stole music and passed it off as his own in a False Designation of Origin Claim.
"Epic Records was notified of the Artis claim in early summer of 2001, but did nothing to redress the matter; thereafter, Artis filed a lawsuit in late September 2001," Artis' attorney Alice T. Crowe, Esq., told AllHipHop.com in a written statement regarding the case.
"Ironically, at the early stages of the lawsuit Dennis Cole's lawyers would not accept court papers on his behalf; however, when Epic filed it's lawsuit against Coles in late October of this year, Coles' lawyer, who moved to withdraw as counsel for Coles, agreed to stay on the case to accept Epic's legal papers against Coles."
According to Crowe, Ghostface was "served with the Artis lawsuit in Florida when Coles paused momentarily to entertain the flirtations of a young strawberry blonde while he was performing on stage," serving him his court papers in front of hundreds of his fans. Ghostface threw the papers on stage and continued his performance. When he failed to appear or file a response to the lawsuit, Crowe filed a default motion against him.
A lawyer appeared in court to respond to the lawsuit for Ghostface later filed a motion to withdraw as legal counsel, citing Ghostface's management would not return his phone calls, saying he was difficult and uncooperative in the case.
According to Crowe, Ghostface and Epic came to an agreement to release him from his recording contract and one of the provisions was that Ghost cooperated in defending the lawsuit.
When Ghostface's lawyer filed a motion to withdraw as counsel, Sony/Epic then filed a lawsuit against Ghostface citing he violated his written agreement to assist them with defending the infringement lawsuit launched in September. The suit names Sony Entertainment/Epic Records, The RZA, and
Allah Mathematics
as parties.
Crowe's said that the Epic lawsuit mirrors the Artis lawsuit, citing Coles for infringing upon Artis's music and seeking damages against Ghostface for his actions.
