The Houston Dynamo crushed Chivas USA 3-0 Saturday
afternoon at Robertson Stadium, getting highlight-reel goals from Geoff
Cameron and Lovel Palmer in the first half and posting their first
shutout of the year.
The Dynamo improve to 2-1-1 (7 points), the best four-game start in team history. The previous mark was their 2-2 record (6 points) in 2006. It was Houston's largest margin of victory in an MLS game since beating Toronto FC 3-0 on May 30, 2009.
Houston is now 7-0-3 in its last 10 games against Chivas USA, and the Dynamo ran their shutout streak against Chivas USA at Robertson Stadium to 802 minutes by posting their eighth consecutive home shutout against the LA-based club. The Dynamo have outscored Chivas USA 18-1 all-time at Robertson Stadium (7-0-2 record).
Midfielder Geoff Cameron opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Defender Eddie Robinson headed a clearance to midfielder Corey Ashe, making his first start of the season, and Ashe found Cameron making a run through the Chivas USA defense. Cameron used the outside of his right foot to strike a fierce drive inside the left post for his first goal of the 2010 season.
The Dynamo made it 2-0 in the 20th minute when midfielder Lovel Palmer, making his first start with the Dynamo in his third game after being signed from Jamaican club Harbour View, unleashed a ferocious 40-yard shot into the top right corner of the net, a sure candidate for MLS Goal of the Week.
Houston wrapped the game up in the 65th minute, when defender Mike Chabala and midfielder Brad Davis combined on the left, with Davis getting into the penalty area and drawing the attention of the Chivas USA defense before chipping a pass to Houston forward Dominic Oduro for a simple tap-in. It was Oduro's second MLS goal with the Dynamo – both against Chivas USA.
Defender Mike Chabala earned two assists on the day, tying his career high set in a 4-3 win vs. D.C. United on August 1, 2009. Defender Eddie Robinson earned his first assist since 2007 on Cameron's goal.
18-year-old midfielder Francisco Navas Cobo, a preseason signing from the Dynamo Academy, became the first Houston home-grown player to appear in a game when he made his professional debut as a late substitute.
Defender Bobby Boswell made his 140th career MLS start. Midfielder Corey Ashe made his 75th career appearance in an MLS regular season game. Midfielder Brad Davis, the Dynamo's all-time leader in assists, ran his total to 45 in all competitions when he set up Oduro's goal. Midfielder Adrian Serioux made his first appearance of the season and first for Houston since the 2006 MLS Cup final when he came on as a late substitute.
Next Game: Saturday, April 24, at Chicago Fire, 7:30 p.m., Toyota Park, Bridgeview IL
Next Home Game: Saturday, May 1, vs. Kansas City Wizards, 7:30 p.m., Robertson Stadium
On the play of his midfielders …
"We talked before the game, and we said if [Lovel Palmer and Geoff Cameron] win the battle in there, it could be very positive for us. I didn't know it was going to be that positive and that impactful. But I thought both of them played very well today. I was encouraging Geoff to make late runs from midfield. It was a great ball from Corey and a great finish. So all the things were clicking for us. Defensively, they were very solid, and obviously attacking-wise they helped us out a lot today."
On Lovel Palmer …
"I thought he was good all-around. His goal was fantastic. We saw him hit a goal similar to that against Dallas in preseason down in Orlando. In practice, we noticed that he can strike a ball from distance. He's not far off when he shoots. What a wonderful goal in his first start for the team. I thought overall him and Geoff working together; they made it very difficult to break down. They were very helpful on the offensive side, so I was very happy."
On his first start …
"Coach Dom brought me here for a reason. He paid good money for me to leave Jamaica and come here, and I'm just trying to repay the favor. I'm here to just play as well as possible for the Dynamo and try to help them win the championship."
On Lovel Palmer …
"Lovel has come in and done a fantastic job. Even in Orlando, you could tell he had the skill and ability to fit in with this team. All the guys love him, he's a great guy, and obviously his play is speaking for itself."
On the third goal …
"[Mike Chabala] played a great ball to me. [Brian Mullan] made a run, and the defender had to make a choice, and he decided to come in and tackle. I made a good touch around him, and I think they both thought I was going to shoot and went down, so I just chipped it to [Dominic Oduro], and he finished it."

Thank you so much...feel free to keep commenting.

Don't worry, I'm sure the comments will eventually come. Found the site through colin's and was immediately impressed. I just hope you can keep up this wonderful pace (and budget to buy books!). If so, you may end up with a lot of comments disparaging you as the new Parr/Badger!
One suggestion: I think it's nice that you are not sending viewers to Amazon or another vendor with links, but it does make viewers who are curious (but lazy like me) go through some work to find these books. Not sure how you could do it, but perhaps you could link to a Google search for the ISBN number of said book and then the reader could take it from there.
- May 15, 2007 at 9:23 PM
If you don't want to link through Amazon maybe you could tell people that they should just go bug those pleasant people at the Strand....
- May 15, 2007 at 9:44 PM
Kurt and all,
Thanks for the kind words. Your comment about linking is timely as I am always interested in finding ways to support my buying habits. One person I know suggested such links to Amazon. They do offer commissions to people like me through offering links and it is a way of getting money to buy books. I have applied as an "Amazon associate" and been approved but I am hesitant to pursue the matter in actually installing the widgets on my blog. In one way, I would like to get free books and on another, it may be hypocritical considering I would like the commerce of books reduced to a managable size. I would not change my thinking on books if I did have such links but I feel that perhaps many readers would think differently.

how about- a complete thumbnail of larrains "rectanglo en la mano" for us to embrace. other than that suggestion- nice navagation with your words.
- May 16, 2007 at 12:11 AM
I can understand your concern but linking to Amazon (or others -- they certainly are not the only game in town) is by this point commonly accepted and would probably ruffle few feathers. Sure there are some blogs where you might question whether the links support the reviews or the other way around but in your case I think you've more than established your integrity.
You don't really need to fuss with widgets and whatnot. Within the Associates site, after you login, click on "Build Links" in the left margin, and then click on the "text links" entry. Scroll down to the bottom of that page to where it says "Link to any page on Amazon.com"....enter the URL of the book (it's helpful to have two browser windows open, one to Amazon.com and one to the Associates site) -- you want to grab only the beginning of the URL up to and including the ISBN number -- and the title. After you "get html" you can copy and paste the code into your blog (your associates code will automatically be there). I find this the cleanest and least obtrusive way to link to Amazon. Your mileage may vary.
- May 16, 2007 at 12:25 AM
Thank you for the suggestion Kurt.
- May 16, 2007 at 2:42 AM
It would be helpful if you could direct us to the place you can buy the reviewed book. Some of the books you mention are difficult to find even on abe.
Keep up the great reviews my Ladd.

As other say here, this is the best Photobook blog on the web. You have both the passion to find books outside the usual and the insight into what you have found. Keep up the good work. You put me on to the "Chili" book by Larrain. I met him when I was a kid in NYC, and have tried to keep up on his work ever since. The only book Martin Parr didn't have in the photobook series was El Rectangulo En La Mano. He just found a copy to make his set complete.I look forward to more.

Hawaiian Telcom unveils Oahu's new phonebook covers featuring art by UH student
Directory covers feature art by Leeward CC student Dawn Groves in honor of the UH Centennial CelebrationUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Kathryn Harper, (808) 543-3551
Communications Pacific
The Covers
To celebrate the University of Hawaiʻi's 100th anniversary in 2007, Hawaiian Telcom's 2006-2007 Oʻahu directories will feature the art of Leeward Community College student Dawn Groves on their covers. Earlier this year an art contest was held to create art with the theme of "Celebrating 100 Years of Higher Education in Hawaii — A Century Through an Artist's Eyes." The contest was open to all University of Hawaiʻi part-time and full-time students, faculty, and staff enrolled or employed at University of Hawaii campuses at any time during the spring 2006 semester.
"According to the judges, one student's piece stood out among the others because it truly exemplified the contest theme," said Ron Montgomery, vice president and general manager of Hawaiian Telcom Directories. "When we looked at it, we definitely agreed. Because Dawn Grove's piece was so phenomenal, we chose to feature her winning art on all the main Oʻahu directories, as well as feature other art of hers on the Oʻahu companion directory and the neighbor-island directories."
The covers of the new Oʻahu White and Yellow Pages, as well as the neighborhood directories, will feature Dawn Groves work — "A Passion for Knowledge" — which portrays the University of Hawaiʻi in the past, present, and future.
"I wanted my piece to show the evolution of the University of Hawaiʻi and learning," Groves said. "I hope that others will be inspired in their own way by this piece."
The new Oʻahu companion directory also features a digitally-enhanced photograph taken by Groves of a canoe. The Maui County, Kauaʻi County, and Hawaiʻi Island directories being distributed in February 2007 also will feature photos taken by Groves in each county.
"We are thankful to Hawaiian Telcom for this opportunity. Dawn's design truly showcases some of the creativity and talent housed in our diverse student population," said David McClain, UH president. "As we prepare to celebrate 100 years of educational excellence, we look forward to sharing even more of what the university contributes to transforming our local and global communities."
The UH Centennial
Beginning in 2007, the University of Hawai'i will mark 100 years of public higher education in Hawai'i. Commemorative events will provide opportunities to reflect on past accomplishments, celebrate the vitality of today's university, and to give some thought to how the institution can best serve our community in the second century.
The Cover Artist
For the past 20 years, Dawn E. Groves has been a critical-care registered nurse specializing in cardiology, intensive care, and emergency services. After being injured on the job and unable to perform her duties, Dawn enrolled at Leeward Community College and is currently working to earn her second degree in digital media.
The Oʻahu Companion Directory
Hawaiian Telcom Directories is launching a new Oʻahu companion directory, which will be distributed to homes and businesses in October. The new companion directory combines the features of the Hawaiian Telcom Oʻahu Yellow pages in a convenient portable size.
"The new companion directory is the perfect tool for a person on the go," said Ron Montgomery, vice president and general manager of Hawaiian Telcom Directories. "It's convenient, small, portable, and can fit easily in the car, purse, or briefcase."
The directory will include the same emergency information, maps, and coupons found in the Oʻahu Yellow Pages and will provide a compact and comprehensive source of business information.
The Directories
The Hawaiian Telcom Oʻahu Directories will feature new enhancements, including pages featuring cover artist Dawn Groves and information about the University of Hawaiʻi's centennial celebration. As the state's most comprehensive directory, the books will remain the most important resource for emergency and community information. The Oʻahu White Pages, Oʻahu Yellow Pages, Oʻahu companion directory, Leeward directory, Windward directory, and East Honolulu directory will be delivered to homes and businesses in October. The directories for Maui County, Kauaʻi County, and Hawaiʻi Island will be delivered in February 2007.
About Hawaiian Telcom
Hawaiian Telcom is the state's leading telecommunications provider, offering a wide spectrum of telecommunications products and services, which include local and long-distance service, digital subscriber line (DSL) broadband for Internet use, wireless services, and print directory and Internet directory services. The official Hawaiian Telcom directories are the state's most comprehensive and accurate telephone directories. For more information, please visit www.HTYellowPages.com .

Notification on Thread Creation
When GDB detects that a new thread is created, it displays a message specifying the thread's identification on the current system. This identification, known as the systag, varies from platform to platform. Here is an example of this notification:
Starting program: /home/user/threads [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -151132480 (LWP 4445)] [New Thread -151135312 (LWP 4446)]
Keep in mind that the systag is the operating system's identification for a thread, not GDB's. GDB assigns each thread a unique number that identifies it for debugging purposes.
Getting a List of All Threads in the Application
GDB provides the generic info command to get a wide variety of information about the program being debugged. It is no surprise that a subcommand of info would be info threads. This command prints a list of threads running in the system:
(gdb) info threads 2 Thread -151135312 (LWP 4448) 0x00905f80 in vfprintf () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 * 1 Thread -151132480 (LWP 4447) main () at threads.c:27
The info threads command displays a table that lists three properties of the threads in the system: the thread number attached to the thread by GDB, the
systag value, and the current stack frame for the current thread. The currently active thread is denoted by GDB with the * symbol. The thread number is used in all other commands in GDB.
Setting Thread-Specific Breakpoints
GDB allows users that are debugging multithreaded applications to choose whether or not to set a breakpoint on all threads or on a particular thread. The much like the info command, this capability is enabled via an extended parameter that's specified in the break command. The general form of this instruction is:
break linespec thread threadnum
linespec is the standard gdb syntax for specifying a breakpoint, and threadnum is the thread number obtained from the info threads command. If the thread threadnum arguments are omitted, the breakpoint applies to all threads in your program. Thread-specific breakpoints can be combined with conditional breakpoints:
(gdb) break buffer.c:33 thread 7 if level > watermark
Note that stopping on a breakpoint stops all threads in your program. Generally speaking this is a desirable effect-it allows a developer to examine the entire state of an application, and the ability to switch the current thread. These are good things.
Developers should keep certain behaviors in mind, however, when using breakpoints from within GDB. The first issue is related to how system calls behave when they are interrupted by the debugger. To illustrate this point, consider a system with two threads. The first thread is in the middle of a system call when the second thread reaches a breakpoint. When the breakpoint is triggered, the system call may return early. The reason-GDB uses signals to manage breakpoints. The signal may cause a system call to return prematurely. To illustrate this point, let's say that thread 1 was executing the system call sleep(30). When the breakpoint in thread 2 is hit, the sleep call will return, regardless of how long the thread has actually slept. To avoid unexpected behavior due to system calls returning prematurely, it is advisable that you check the return values of all system calls and handle this case. In this example,
sleep() returns the number of seconds left to sleep. This call can be placed inside of a loop to guarantee that the sleep has occurred for the amount of time specified. This is shown in Listing Eight.
Listing Eight: Proper Error Handling of System Calls.
int sleep_duration = 30; do { sleep_duration = sleep(sleep_duration); } while (sleep_duration > 0);
The second point to keep in mind is that GDB does not single step all threads in lockstep. Therefore, when single-stepping a line of code in one thread, you may end up executing a lot of code in other threads prior to returning to the thread that you are debugging. If you have breakpoints in other threads, you may suddenly jump to those code sections. On some OSs, GDB supports a scheduler locking mode via the set scheduler-locking command. This allows a developer to specify that the current thread is the only thread that should be allowed to run.
Switching Between Threads
In GDB, the thread command may be used to switch between threads. It takes a single parameter, the thread number returned by the info threads command. Here is an example of the thread command:
gdb) thread 2 [Switching to thread 2 (Thread -151135312 (LWP 4549))]#0 PrintThreads (num=0xf6fddbb0) at threads.c:39 39 { (gdb) info threads * 2 Thread -151135312 (LWP 4549) PrintThreads (num=0xf6fddbb0) at threads.c:39 1 Thread -151132480 (LWP 4548) main () at threads.c:27 (gdb)
In this example, the
thread command makes thread number 2 the active thread.
Applying a Command to a Group of Threads
The thread command supports a single subcommand apply that can be used to apply a command to one or more threads in the application. The thread numbers can be supplied individually, or the special keyword all may be used to apply the command to all threads in the process, as illustrated in the following example:
gdb) thread apply all bt Thread 2 (Thread -151135312 (LWP 4549)): #0 PrintThreads (num=0xf6fddbb0) at threads.c:39 #1 0x00b001d5 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 #2 0x009912da in clone () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 Thread 1 (Thread -151132480 (LWP 4548)): #0 main () at threads.c:27 39 { (gdb)
The GDB backtrace (
bt) command is applied to all threads in the system. In this scenario, this command is functionally equivalent to: thread apply 2 1 bt.
Key Points
This article described a number of general purpose debugging techniques for multithreaded applications. To sum up:
- Proper software engineering principles should be followed when writing and developing robust multithreaded applications.
- When trying to isolate a bug in a multithreaded application, it is useful to have a log of the different sequence of events that led up to failure. A trace buffer is a simple mechanism that allows programmers to store this event information.
- Bracket events that are logged in the trace buffer with "before" and "after" messages to determine the order in which the events occurred.
- Running the application in the debugger may alter the timing conditions of your runtime application, masking potential race conditions in your application.
- Tracepoints can be a useful way to log or record the sequence of events as they occur.
- For advanced debugging, consider using the Intel software tools, specifically, the Intel Debugger, the Intel Thread Checker, and the Intel Thread Profiler.

Pan-Seared Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe | Healthy Comforting Dinner
Yesterday I mentioned that I'm so over comfort food. I should have clarified - heavy, unhealthy comfort food.
This Pan Seared, then Roasted Lemon Garlic Chicken has all of the makings of a healthy dinner, but it is warm and cozy comforting all at the same time. Here's to feel good food in the New Year that will actually make you feel good... and help you fit into your clothes. You're welcome.
Lemon Garlic Chicken
pan seared goodness
1 whole chicken, split or flattened (backbone removed)
1/4 cup of olive oil
10 cloves of garlic, minced
2 lemons, juiced
sea salt & cracked pepper
In a shallow dish (large enough for the chicken), stir together olive oil, garlic and lemon juice.
Generously season the chicken with sea salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the lemon garlic marinade, and toss to coat. Marinade for a couple of hours (if possible).
Heat a dutch oven on the stovetop on high for a minute. Remove the chicken from the marinade (saving the marinade) and place it in the dutch oven, searing it on each side for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the marinade into the dutch oven, then place it in a 400 degree oven for 25-40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken. Remove from the oven, let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Be sure to use a real lemon... no juice from a bottle!
If you have time, marinade the chicken for a couple of hours. If not, go ahead and make it anyway... the lemon and garlic flavor will still do its 'thing' in the oven.
When I made this lemon garlic chicken, I served it with Pancetta Sugar Snap Peas and Mashed Potatoes (made with my amazing new potato ricer... best kitchen gadget I've ever purchased. No exaggeration. I'll warn you, only purchase one if you'd like to be addicted to mashed potatoes and make them every night for dinner. Like me.).
Here are the links for the recipes to complete the meal.

I have a variant of this recipe you might want to try. I use a whole chicken, put lemon wedges in the chicken cavity and put LOTS halved garlic cloves under the skin (all over) and roast it in the oven.ReplyDelete
Jenny, I made this chicken tonight for dinner. It was fabulous! I will make it again for sure. I put the chicken in a bag in the morning and kept flipping it during the day while it sat in the fridge. Took the marinated chicken out to cook it and the aroma filled the house. Kids loved it! I added the juice of one additional lemon also at the end while it sat cooling, cause my family loves lemon. A hit!!ReplyDelete

Leviheart- I am so glad they liked it! I should've mentioned that you should spoon the pan drippings over the carved chicken when serving. You can also squeeze the lemons from the pan onto the cooked chicken - the cooked lemon has great flavor!ReplyDelete
Ooh...have you added the pancetta sugar snap peas recipe to your site yet? My family is dying to try those!ReplyDelete
I am actually finding the best birthday gift for my girlfriend. I'm not much of a cook, Jen. I want to prepare her the most delicious food I can do. And upon seeing this recipe made me say, "Wow it's so simple!" Thank you very much for sharing this one. This really looks delicious. I'm craving for a plate of that right now. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe again.ReplyDelete

You didn't state in the recipe but it looks like in the 1st pic you threw the lemons after you juiced them into the pot. Did you put them in the marinade too or just when you cooked it? I'll be making it today on this chilly wet Sunday - my mouth is watering just looking at the pics!! Thank you:-)ReplyDelete
P.S. Did you post the shrimp in pockets recipe somewhere? I tried to click on the pic from your Valentine's post and it's not there. Can't wait to try that too!
Congrats with the addition of Emma to your family - she is adorable~~

At his two San Francisco restaurants – the Michelin-starred Quince and the elegantly rustic Cotogna – Michael Tusk has shown his broad mastery of Italian food, serving everything from wood-fired pizzas to multicourse tasting menus. Here he shows us how a simple technique can elevate a common fish dinner: "Cod has a fairly high moisture content. Doing a light cure allows you to set the fish in the pan really quickly and get a nice crust. I chose it to create a textural contrast between the savory eggplant, and also to include a technique that maybe people haven't tried at home," says Tusk.
• 1 lb Atlantic cod fillets, skin removed
• 2 tbsp salt
• 2 cups Japanese eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
• 2 cups collard greens, cut into chiffonade
• 1 cup celery, cut diagonally
• 1/2 cup picholine olives, cut in half
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
• 1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes
Step 1
Season the fillets with 1 tbsp salt, place them on a rack, and leave in refrigerator uncovered for 1 hour. At the same time, season the eggplant with the remaining salt and place in a colander for 1 hour. Meanwhile, boil the collard greens for 2 minutes.
Step 2
After 1 hour, rinse the fish with cold water and pat dry. Rinse salt from the eggplant. Fill a 2-quart sauce pot with water and bring to a rapid boil. Add the eggplant and cook until tender, approximately 3 minutes. Remove the eggplant with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels. In the same water, boil the celery for 5 minutes, until al dente, and then combine with picholine olives and eggplant in a bowl. Add half the vinegar and half the olive oil to the eggplant-celery mixture.
Step 3
Heat a 12-inch sauté pan until warm and add the remaining half cup of olive oil. When the oil is warm, add the garlic and toast until golden, then discard. Add the onion and sauté quickly (about a minute), then remove and add to the eggplant-celery mixture. In the same pan, cook the collard greens on low heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Reserve warm, covered, until ready to serve.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 450. Heat an 11-inch nonstick pan until hot, and then add a small amount of olive oil. Sauté the fish for 2 minutes and then place the cherry tomatoes in the pan and season them with pepper flakes. Remove from the stove and place in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. While the fish is cooking, spoon the collard greens onto the center of each plate.
Step 5
Remove the pan with the fish from the oven. Place the fish on top of the collard greens and spoon the eggplant-celery relish, fish juices, and cherry tomatoes over the fish. Serve immediately.
"To me, this dish is comforting. As a guy coming home from work, you want to cook something quickly without a lot of components, but with a lot of flavor," says Tusk.

Watch how events unfolded during the Boston manhunt for the marathon bombers from the initial blast to the suspects' capture.
The search for two brothers accused of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings evolved rapidly between Thursday night and Friday evening throughout the locked-down city of Boston and its surrounding suburbs. A firefight between police and the suspects early Friday morning left one of the brothers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, dead. Younger brother Dzhokhar, 19, was captured in Watertown, Mass., on Friday night after an intense manhunt and has been hospitalized.
The blanket of fear on this community was lifted when it was confirmed that 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was no longer a threat. NBC's Kerry Sanders recounts how the events unfolded
Below is a timeline of how the events transpired:
Thursday, April 18, 5 p.m. (all times ET and approximate) – The FBI releases photos and a surveillance video that show two men, one wearing a white baseball cap and the second wearing a black cap. Each man was carrying a backpack in the footage. The FBI said they should be considered "armed and extremely dangerous."
7 p.m. – Names start pouring into the FBI in response to their release of photos.
10:20 p.m. – Gunshots are heard on the MIT campus.
Around 10:30 p.m. – MIT police officer Sean Collier, 26, is found shot in his vehicle. He is taken to Massachusetts General Hospital and pronounced dead. Shortly after the shooting, the suspects allegedly carjack a Mercedes SUV in a separate section of Cambridge. The suspects held the carjacking victim at gunpoint for a half hour before releasing him unharmed at a gas station, according to the Middlesex District Attorney.
11:20 p.m. – Authorities tell the public to stay indoors. Around this time, the suspects try to use a debit card stolen from the man whose car they jacked to withdraw money from three ATMs. The first attempt was unsuccessful, but they allegedly withdrew $800 on the second attempt. At the third ATM, the withdrawal attempt was denied for exceeding the man's daily limit.
Shortly after, police pursue the suspects into Watertown, west of Cambridge, in the carjacked vehicle. The suspects toss explosive devices from the SUV, according to the district attorney, seriously injuring a public transit police officer, Richard Donohue. One of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is critically injured, and later pronounced dead in the early hours of Friday morning.
Adam Andrew and Megan Marrer are currently under lockdown in their home in Watertown, Mass., where police engaged in a shootout with the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing last night.
Friday, April 19, about 1:15 a.m. – A massive police presence, including state troopers and police cruisers with lights and sirens blaring, fill the Boston suburb of Watertown. Several ambulances were also on the scene.
1:31 a.m. – MIT advises people on campus to remain indoors. "Police have NOT determined that the campus is safe."
1:57 a.m. – "Police have determined that the suspect in this evening's shooting is no longer on campus," MIT tweets. "It is now safe to resume normal activities."
2 a.m. – The FBI releases four new photos of the two men, one in a white hat and one in a black hat, at the Boston Marathon.
2:20 a.m. – The suspects, hiding behind the black Mercedes SUV in Watertown, engage in a shootout with a large number of police officers. The men, about 200 feet apart, exchanged constant gunfire, and the two shooters lit an explosive that lands in the space between themselves and the police, then exploded. One of the two men then ran toward police and was tackled, an eyewitness says.
While it is known that one suspect is down in Watertown, it is still not clear at this point whether the shooting at MIT and the firefight in Watertown are related to the Boston Marathon bombings.
4:16 a.m. – Law enforcement sources confirm that the suspect pictured in the black hat is dead, and the suspect in the white hat is at-large and considered armed and dangerous. The officials say the shootings at MIT and in Watertown are directly related to the marathon bombings.
MSNBC's Willie Geist, Â Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle talk about the "unprecedented events" which led to the entire city of Boston being placed on lockdown.
4:19 a.m. – Officials in Watertown ask all residents to shelter in place.
4:35 a.m. – Watertown police officers continue to search the neighborhood on foot and in patrol cars.
5:01 a.m. – The suspects have international ties and may have military experience, officials reveal. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the dead suspect, had an improvised explosive device strapped to him, officials say.
5:20 a.m.-6:30 a.m. – Local universities and colleges including Harvard, Boston University, Emerson College, Boston College, and MIT cancel classes and tell students to remain in place. Boston Public Schools suspended all activities.
5:45 a.m. – Boston cancels all MBTA public transportation service throughout the city.
6:30 a.m. – Amtrak service into and out of Boston South Station is delayed by police activity. Amtrak officials temporarily suspend train service between Boston and Providence, R.I.
7 a.m. – More than 400,000 people shelter in place in the neighborhoods of Cambridge, Newton, Waltham, Brighton, Watertown, and Allston-Brighton. Authorities say the two suspects are brothers.
About 7:30 a.m. – The two suspects are identified for the first time publicly. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was identified as the suspect in the white hat who was still at large. He was born in Kyrgyzstan. His brother, Tamerlan Tzarnaev, 26, was born in Russia, authorities said. He was the deceased suspect.
8 a.m. – Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick urges all residents in Boston and the surrounding area to remain indoors as authorities engage in a "massive manhunt." Officials extend the shelter-in-place order across the city.
About 10 a.m. – Officials identify the deceased MIT police officer publicly for the first time as Sean Collier, 26, of Somerville. A former civilian IT employee of the Somerville Police Department, he had served at MIT since January 2012.
12:30 p.m. – Authorities request that residents remain in their homes, saying that about 60 percent of the area they want to search in Watertown had been covered without an apprehension.
A tense night of police activity that left a university officer dead on campus just days after the Boston Marathon bombings amid a hunt for two suspects caused officers to converge on a neighborhood outside Boston, where residents heard gunfire and explosions.
6 p.m. -- Authorities lift the order for people stay in their homes and reopen Boston transit. Gov. Deval Patrick says people must remain vigilant because "there is still a very, very dangerous individual at large." Col. Timothy Alben of Massachusetts State Police says the suspect has not been apprehended but vows that he will be.
7 p.m. -- A barrage of gunfire is fired in a Watertown neighborhood.
7:35 p.m. -- Authorities say that after resident saw blood leading to a boat in the backyard of a Watertown home and discovered a person hiding inside, they used thermal imaging that showed a person still there.
8:05 p.m. -- Police move in on the boat and believe the suspect is hiding there.
8:45 p.m. -- Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is captured alive, police say.
Upon hearing that the second suspect has been caught, residents in the neighborhood break out in spontaneous applause as a week of terror concludes.
Tsarnaev, bleeding and in serious condition, is taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, according to a Massachusetts State Police spokesman.
He will be questioned by a federal team once he is well enough to be interrogated, but under a special legal exception designed to protect public safety, he will not get a Miranda warning or be offered a lawyer for up to 48 hours.
NBC News' Pete Williams, Ron Allen, Tom Winter, Michael Isikoff, Erin McClam, John Bailey, Richard Esposito and Elizabeth Chuck contributed to this report.

As bold statements of intent go, they don't come much bolder than calling your album Future This - it almost implies said record represents some kind of year zero. A cut off from the past, the future starts here. Which is a refreshing change from the never ending onslaught of washed up homegrown bands bemoaning the supposed 'death of guitar music' on these shores.
Not that The Big Pink have ever been ones to lack foresight or ambition. Right from the outset, both Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell made their intentions known that the follow-up to 2009's A Brief History Of Love would have a more beat-laden, hip hop influence than its predecessor. Indeed only last month when DiS spoke with singer, guitarist and songwriter Furze, he admitted he'd had enough of guitars. Not in a cynical way due to changing tastes and fads, but more because he felt The Big Pink had become too rock orientated and lost their original sense of purpose. Maybe that helps explain why The Big Pink's live shows have often been very hit and miss affairs. Catch them on a good day and there's little doubt they can be one of the most explosive live bands in the country. Unfortunately, at the polar end of the spectrum their inconsistency can also have an adverse effect, as anyone present during their set on the NME stage at 2010's Leeds Festival will sadly testify.
However, we'd rather concentrate on the positives and Future This has many to be going on with. Mostly written at the back end of 2010 and recorded from then onwards through to the middle of last year, it's interesting that a lot of material the duo were laying down towards the end of touring the first record remains in the vaults, largely untouched. Only two songs have survived the cull - opener 'Stay Gold' and the title track itself - and in the case of the latter it's barely recognisable from its original demo or the embryonic sketch that formed part of the set on during those final tour dates.
The former sets the scene quite admirably, bridging the gap between albums one and two succinctly."No time to laugh, no time to cry" intones Furze before adding the battle cry "And lead the darkness into light." Whereas A Brief History Of Love was largely comprised of downbeat, noise infused soundwalls complaining of feeling low ('Count Backwards From Ten') or congenial darkness ('At War With The Sun'), Future This aims for the stars. Recent single 'Hit The Ground (Superman)', which samples Laurie Anderson's unlikely 1981 hit single is perhaps the most glaring example of the band's desire to change, not least in terms of embracing electronic sounds rather than the rock behemoth that perpetuated its predecessor. Much of this change undoubtedly lies at the fingertips of Paul Epworth, a unanimous choice as producer despite the band's dismissal of 'Stop The World' from their previous encounter.
Although not exactly the hip-hop flavoured long player audaciously hinted at, 'Give It Up' fuses truncated beats with a deeply activated bassline while 'Lose Your Mind' heads for the dancefloor in diminutive fashion, complete with air raid sirens and all. What is apparent about Future This is The Big Pink's knack of writing hook-driven melodies and rousing choruses. While not being something they'd admit to just yet, there's no denying they possess an uncanny ability to craft deft pop songs, albeit from the left side of the fence. 'Rubbernecking' highlights such a facet throughout its three-and-a-half minutes, Furze intoning "Maybe my house is burning, maybe my rose is dead, but I'm too busy rubbernecking" mantra-like fashion at irregular intervals. Likewise '13' also demonstrates their devilish, skewered approach impeccably, Milo Cordell employing a floating keyboard sound to convey its melody while Furze attests "Every day's just like living in fiction."
Of course, Future This is not perfect. Some elements of the record are a little formulaic and while its creators should be applauded for not churning out A Brief History Of Love mark two, those elements of loud guitar had a defining rather than hindering effect making the decision to sideline them altogether here seem a little harsh. Nevertheless, as the sound of a band still in development mode and not quite sure of their identity, Future This offers a lucid insight into where their next sonic adventure may take them.

There's no doubt that the world of
technology is extremely broad, and that it's been woven into our day-to-day
lives in countless ways. Consumers now have capabilities at their fingertips
that not long ago would seem futuristic at best and something you would only
see in the movies.
Therein lies a difficult challenge
for our industry. Innovations in technology have created
a higher standard of
expectation that you're constantly measured by. I am sure that you have heard
something like:
"Why don't you have
an app to do that?"
"How come I can't
just do that online?"
"I should just be
able to do that on my phone."
If your organization doesn't
address issues such as these, you run the risk of becoming irrelevant in the
eyes of the everyday consumer.
But even if you do address today's
requests, you get into playing a game of catch-up. This is because customer
needs evolve as quickly as technology develops new applications. Now, more than
ever, companies need to invest an increasing amount of time and resources just
to stay current and often have to forget about trying to be cutting edge.
From a business perspective, technology has been
game-changer, where advancements have given us amazing capabilities and
efficiencies that have allowed our industry to grow in vast and exciting ways.
Inventory management, cost and performance tracking to complex databases where
customer profiles, and vacation habits and preferences are at our fingertips.
These have all moved us into a new generation that has created revenue channels
and efficiencies that just 10 years ago would not have been possible.
If you are like me, you may find that the notion of embracing technology
can often be daunting, but there's no turning back now. I encourage you to look
for your own ways on how to leverage it in amazing new ways!
By Peter Roth, ARDA
As our industry continues to
develop solutions for owners who believe their vacation ownership does not
match their present vacation plans, it is important to educate consumers about
the exit process and provide them with the resources to make an informed
decision. As we all can attest, the fraudulent misdeeds of companies targeting
many owners—especially senior citizens—have added a layer of confusion with
regard to our product.
While our industry leaders, ARDA-ROC,
and ARDA State Affairs staff rigorously work with state and local law
enforcement agencies to enact stricter consumer protections, it is virtually
impossible to control the actions of all bad players scamming our owners.
However, because those actions affect the entire industry, we can help share a
consistent set of guiding principles for a safe resale process across the

navigate consumers through the exit process, which can be found on ARDA-ROC.org. We also make the

Weekly Fraser Valley Sport fishing column; June 16 to 23, 2014
One of the things about fishing, it is always better in ones imagination than in application. Well, sometimes it is.
Often during our visits with the family in Salmon Arm, I fish the big Shwap with my brother-in-laws. Being a sight fisherman myself, I have never been a fan of their methods; trolling deep with a downrigger and plugs. I would go out in their boats to spend time with them, not expecting to catch fish. That all changed the year John bought a fish finder.
As I sat in the cabin of Johns boat watching an endless procession of fish being marked on the fish finder, I commented, with the amount of fish marking on this finder, it is obvious to me that no-one in our circles of influence had as yet figured out this lake. We should be hitting fish after fish.
You think so, asked John?
You bet, I answered!
Well I have a fly called a Polar Bear in my tackle box. It is suppose to work, but it has never worked that well for me. I think its the wrong color. Holding up the fly for me to see; he asked, you think you could tie up some of these in a color that would work?
That is nothing more than a modified Zonker, I responded. I can tie those in any color you want.
With a face now beaming, John handed me a long thin, greenish looking spoon. I bought some of these Swedish lures awhile back. They worked well me and this is the only one I have left. Can you match those colors?
Give me a couple of hours behind my vice and Ill hand you a dozen, I answered.
This story will continue in next weeks column.

Degenerative brain disease is the sixth leading cause of death in America, and the only one of the top 10 causes that can't be prevented or cured. But all is not lost. Numerous studies show that by adopting certain lifestyle habits we can significantly reduce our risk of developing dementia.
Reader's Digest teamed with the Alzheimer's Association to survey 1,600 people about their brain health and knowledge of how lifestyle habits affect cognitive decline and dementia. Their findings revealed many misconceptions that could affect how people approach their brain health. Reader's Digest writer Lauren Gelman offers "four takeaways for a healthier, sharper mind."

My name is Sarah Hendrickson, I'm 18 years old and I was born and raised in Park City, Utah. Although that's just what people see on the outside, I happen to be involved in what I believe to be the best sport in the world: ski jumping. Yep, I said it. I'm a FEMALE ski jumper. To give a little background to ski jumping (which isn't well-known in the U.S.), men's ski jumping has been included since the first Olympic Games in 1924, yet women's ski jumping will make its debut next year in Sochi, Russia. Many of you might know the story behind our equality fight through courts and organizations and to avoid boring you with the details it can be summed up with adjectives such as long, painful and tedious. Regardless, the fight was fought and for the first time in history, women's ski jumpers will join the estimated 2,600 athletes walking into the Olympic stadium next year. That's my dream. In the next two years, I am going to be writing about what it takes to travel the world, train day in and day out so that I can experience the biggest goal for an athlete.
Since this is my first blog, I'll begin by a short introduction of myself as a ski jumper and a brief update on previous seasons as well as my plan for the rest of this year. I started ski jumping at the age of 7, mainly because my brother was doing it and well... like brother like sister, right? I also started in 2002, which happened to be the Olympic year in Salt Lake City and I couldn't pass up an opportunity of trying a sport that just built world-class facilities in my backyard. Almost instantly, I was hooked and most of my childhood memories include standing on top of a ski jump freezing my butt off. Thinking back, who knows why I stuck with it because today, I hate the cold, but that's a whole other story.
As nights tuned to months and months turned to years, here I am 11 years later, competing on the World Cup circuit and loving every second of it. Last year, us girls had our first ever World Cup season and although I can't complain about walking away with the overall globe, that is only the beginning of what challenges lie ahead. Yes, this includes the Olympics, however, at the moment my main focus for this season are World Cups and World Championships in February.
In the summer of 2011, I hurt my knee and a MRI revealed that I had broken off a piece of cartilage at the end of my femur and surgery would be required to fix it. Well...taking off the first World Cup season was not an option and I decided to continue jumping and see how well it would hold up. I obviously made it through the season and in the spring of 2012, I had surgery that took me out of jumping for six months.
Today, I am still struggling with the after affects of the surgery but it is definitely getting better and I am hoping it will be worth it on the long-term side of things.
That sums up some of the basics in my life and the things that have been happening leading up to this season. I will be keeping you updated on competitions and training situations as they occur and the lead up to the big Games in just a short 12 months!
For highlights and videos, check me out on the U.S. Ski Team's YouTube channel.

The next time you're hounded by the police after trying to snap yourself a pretty little photo of the White House, show them this printed-out document from the Homeland Security department, stating you're allowed to do so.
In fact, the document even says that "officers should not seize the camera or its contents, and must be cautious not to give such 'orders' to a photographer to erase the contents of a camera, as this constitutes a seizure or detention."
The full document is enclosed below. Photographers, join me in my applause, won't you? [Lens via CrunchGear]

Single Bullet Theory were a DIY-punk-inspired power-pop group with a true shot at new-wave stardom in the late 70s and early 80s. They were certainly worthy; the songs were there and the energy was too. But after gigging with artists like The Ramones (photo R), Talking Heads, Patti Smith, and even finding their way onto MTV and the Billboard charts, the music industry bottleneck pressured SBT to sacrifice their pure vision for potential mass-marketability. In the process, the group lost the sense of purpose that drove them to play music in the first place, and disbanded before they could record their elusive breakthrough.
SBT: 1977-1980 compiles Single Bullet Theory's self-recorded material, and the 11-song collection offers an unfiltered vision of a band at their prime. It's compiled by Artifacts/yclept, which is both a musicians' collective from SBT's hometown of Richmond Virginia, as well as the imprint that originally released this material on 45rpm 12'' in an edition of 1000. We've previously documented the more experimental tendencies of Richmond's fertile arts scene with features on Karen Cooper Complex and Bomis Prendin, but there is much more to dig into over at the Artifacts/yclept FMA page.
The core of Single Bullet Theory -- Frank Daniel, Dennis Madigan, and Michael Maurice Garrett -- had been playing in Richmond bands since 1971 in groups like Big Naptar and X-Breed (pictured at right), putting on warehouse parties and fostering a healthy music community. Both of these bands appear on the first Artifacts compilation, originally released as a flexi-disk in 1976 (they love those flexis!). X-Breed's version of "Miss Two Knives" was later recorded as Single Bullet Theory, who formed in 1976 to further refine a sound that had started by covering bands like the MC5, Velvet Underground, and the Troggs.
One of the songs below, "Keep It Tight," would be re-recorded for Single Bullet Theory's first (and only) official album, released in 1982 on Nemperor Records, a subsidiary of CBS Records. The song charted, a music video (after the jump) appeared on MTV two years later just as the label stopped promoting the band.
In 1994, the re-recorded "Keep It Tight" appeared on Rhino Records' New Wave Hits of the 80's Volume 9 compilation, securing Single Bullet Theory a legacy in 1980s music alongside artists like Modern English, Duran Duran and the Violent Femmes, and more royalties than they'd ever received from CBS Records. You can buy a copy here, and hopefully this net-release will rouse enough interest in a vinyl reissuing of SBT's early material.
You can read more about SBT at their Free Music Archive profile, which also links to an excellent article on "The Trajectory" of the band over at Mad Dog Productions.

I alluded in a recent post to things that you wouldn't believe and that you just couldn't even make up, and that life has thrown me some curveballs recently.
Well, here's the situation…
We moved into our current place in early June 2010. Here was my first post from San Diego on June 1o, 2010. I was so excited to be back in San Diego after 9 horrible months in Phoenix.
Our current lease was up June 1, 2011.
We got a phone all and then a letter from our landlord last week saying that he has to sell our townhouse and that we have 30 days to be out.
I am sure the legalities of this are questionable and I am sure that we technically have "rights" but in reality I don't have time, money, or energy to tangle and fight and get involved in any legal situations when in reality what's probably happening is that our landlord is probably not making his mortgage payments.
And in reality I wouldn't be surprised if any day there's a notice of trustee's sale given and taped on our front door and 72 hours later our house in reality is auctioned off at city hall.
I'd rather not be living here waiting around for that and debating the fine points of the law and what our "rights are". I'd rather just be gone.
So moving it is.
The major issues with moving have been:
The lack of suitable 3 bedroom properties in the area of San Diego I want to live in. As in, almost none. I stalked Craigslist like it was my job for a four day period and just missed three different properties. I was in tears most of last week.
Thank God, at 4pm Friday going into the 4th of July long holiday weekend, I found a place. It wasn't even supposed to be "mine"; but someone else failed to come back and give their security deposit so it became mine. Thank.God.
However, coming up with the 1st months rent on the new place + 1 months rent as security deposit + paying rent on the current place + the security deposit on the current place that is still tied up = very large sums of money needed. That wasn't planned for. At.All.
Thank God I have a savings plan and am debt free. <–That was one of the best new year's intentions/resolutions/goals, ever. It just saved us, big time. I mean who can come up with all that cash out of no where if you don't have some savings?! Seriously stressful!
So, from the time I found out we had to move to finding a place it was 6 days.
And we are moving into a new place one week from today, Wednesday.
The entire 4th of July weekend where I alluded to how hard I was working I was actually donating, decluttering, trashing, and packing.
My "Holiday" Weekend. Some holiday, eh?
Scott took Skylar to lots of parks and the zoo and got lost with her, and I stayed home and for 3 days, lived, breathed, and packed.
This was our garage: Empty boxes that I had accumulated the past year (they came in handy!) and random crap that needed to be donated.
Everything from computer boxes to stroller boxes was all just waiting for me to deal with.
And here was one car load of donations.
We made five stuffed carloads full of donations to the thrift store.
No time for the luxury of selling things on Craiglist or time for a yard sale, and not enough storage space in the new place to bring it all with (nor do I want to,) so I donated so much.
5 huge car loads of stuff. Ba-bye.
But I single-handedly have done 98% of all the packing for all our other moves, too, so I am a pro. I wish I wasn't a moving pro. I'd rather be a pro at anything else but moving!
I'd rather just do it and know it's been done right. And that way on the other side, I can unpack easily because I know how it was all packed and what was put where.
I hate the way that moving makes me feel so out of sorts, so disorganized, clutter everywhere, nothing is in it's place.
The process of moving is 1oo% the antithesis of the way I am wired and in which I operate the best and in which I thrive: calm, order, neat, clean, everything in its place.
When you're moving, nothing is neat, clean, orderly. It's just a hurricane!
And the work. The sheer physical work of moving. From finding boxes to making them up to packing them, sorting and donating what I don't want, up and down stairs 50 times a day, lifting things, awkward angles and crawling in cabinets and digging out forgotten-about kitchen appliances to standing on step ladders trying to get things down off high shelves and get it ready to be moved. It's all so much work!
I have moved so.many.times. I did not want to move! I love our current place and would have stayed here indefinitely.
But, I really love the place we're moving into!
It's 1.1 miles from our current place, so not far at all. The vibe of the city is a bit different there, as can happen in urban areas, where mere blocks can change the essence and aura and vibe, but it was the only thing available and so I had to jump on it. And I do really like it but there are a few things like not having our own private garage and being in an elevator building with a child that I don't love but hey, the granite countertops and hardwood floors and 2009 construction should make up for that.
The other major issue with moving is the timing. There is never a good time to move. But truly, this move could not have come at a worse time.
Just putting the rest of my life on hold (missing work, missing 4th of July holiday events, etc.) while I scramble and pack is one thing, but there's part two to this story of why the timing is atrocious….
…To Be Continued.
1. Do you like where you live?
I love it as I've posted about.
Even with the cost of living, San Diego is 100% my forever home.
And my home in Aruba, too, will be my other forever place and home. Yes, I own in Aruba, rent in San Diego. Go figure.
2. Have you moved much in your life?
I have moved tons and I don't want to move again!
Previous moves:
Childhood moves within the Minneapolis area
Went to college in Minneapolis and St. Paul area and must have had at least 10 different dorms and apartments
Moved to Chicago after college and lived in at least 6 different places in the city and burbs
Moved to NC
Moved to SC
Moved to San Diego and lived in 4 places
Moved to Phoenix
Moved back to San Diego 9 months after being in Phoenix (wasn't my cup of tea) and am in current place, about to move into the next one. So six different addresses in San Diego.
I am sick of moving! I want to put down roots. The market is too volatile here in San Diego to even think about buying, but the downside of renting is being at the mercy of landlords. They all tell you when you sign your lease that they have no intentions of selling. Til they tell you a year later, hey by the way, am selling and you need to move.
So, that's why life has been crazy for me!
I didn't want to blog about it until I even found a place and had a signed lease and keys in my possession. That happened Tuesday morning.
Moving truck comes in 1 week.
But in the meantime, I actually took over two, huge, stuffed carloads of stuff to the new place and spent 8 hours schlepping, sweating, and unpacking. The unpacking felt great!
And There's Part 2 to this too…

For the first time in all the years I have been having piano lessons, my teacher wants me to start doing Hanon exercises. I had some other exercises a few years ago but was told they are too basic for me now and the Hanon ones are what I should do. I start right hand only and then left hand and then both hands and gradually do them faster.
I presume others here have done them so how did you find them and did it help when you come to do pieces that require runs up and down the keyboard?

SKF elevates performance with new small sealed spherical roller bearings
2015 October 13, 11:00 CEST
Small sealed SKF Explorer roller bearings with improved performance prolong or even virtually eliminate service intervals and needs for re-lubrication, for gearless traction motors and reduce environmental impact. The new range will be shown for the first time at Interlift, Augsburg Messe, Germany, 13-16 October
Gothenburg, Sweden, 13 October 2015: SKF has upgraded a range of small size sealed SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings offering even lower friction, reduced operating temperatures, higher limiting speed ratings and reduced maintenance. The new bearing can significantly improve reliability and reduce maintenance of gearless traction motors for elevators. The sealed SKF Explorer spherical roller bearing is included in the SKF BeyondZero* portfolio.
This range of small size sealed spherical roller bearings uses a novel seal design, given the designation 'RS', which reduces overall friction in the bearing by up to 20 percent. In representative running conditions, this translates into calculated annual energy savings of up to 145 kWh. For a typical gearless traction motor in a heavy-duty elevator, replacing two sealed SKF Explorer bearings with the newly optimized design could cut CO2 emissions by up to 100 kg annually. Over the motor's lifecycle, it can add up to a two-ton reduction in CO2 emissions.
Moreover, reduced friction means they operate at temperatures up to 20°C lower, permitting maximum operating speeds up to twice those of the existing range of sealed SKF spherical roller bearings that the upgraded range replaces. Lower bearing operating temperatures extend the life of the bearing grease allowing lubrication intervals up to twice those of current designs and meaning many more applications can now be considered relubrication-free.
The new RS seal is designed to operate with an optimized lip pressure reducing seal friction by up to 50 percent. In addition, the outer ring groove has been redesigned for reliable sealing and secure seal retention. RS seals have a rubberised side face that resists scratches and corrosion more effectively than metallic designs.
In addition to the previously described new features and benefits, the small SSRB with improved performance can handle very high radial and axial loads, while their self-aligning capabilities can accommodate misalignment and shaft deflection. Sealed SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings also offer high running accuracy and excellent control of roller skewing, helping to minimize noise, vibration and friction levels.
SKF also offers an unmatched range of spherical roller bearings.
Interlift 2015 is taking place on October 13-16 2015 in Augsburg, Germany. Visitors to the show will find SKF's solutions and specialists in Hall 3 at Booth 3199.

Download our 'Emergency Oceans Rescue Plan'. Greenpeace / Paul Hilton
The benefits are obvious. Large-scale marine reserves will not just protect the full diversity of marine life and ensure healthy fisheries. They will also help us to alleviate food insecurity and poverty and build the resilience of our oceans to the impacts of climate change and, ultimately, allow us to sustain life on Earth for future generations.
If we want our oceans to thrive and to continue to support human and animal life, then we need marine reserves now. Marine reserves are off-limits to fishing, fossil fuel extraction and other industrial activities. Establishing marine reserves effectively puts a massive 'STOP' sign right in the front of those destructive bottom trawlers and dirty oil exploration ships that roam our oceans so freely right now, and says "yes" to healthy oceans and fish for the future.'
Last month, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told politicians gathered in New York that a "rescue package similar to that introduced after the global financial crisis is urgently needed to halt the worldwide loss of biodiversity, which is resulting in a heavy human cost."
Well, with respect to our oceans, world leaders preparing for the CBD meeting need look no further than the Emergency Oceans Rescue Plan. The CBD meeting is a chance for world leaders to halt the massive loss of marine biodiversity and ensure the survival of the millions dependent on the oceans for food and their livelihoods - all that is needed is political will.
Please spread the word and join the call for marine reserves.

MPO Programs
The primary work of the MPO is structured through the long range transportation planning process, the Unified Planning Work Program, and the Transportation Improvement Program. Click on the links in the menu to the left to access these programs.
Organization and Mandate
The Pueblo Area Council of Governments (PACOG) was organized in 1971 and is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Pueblo area as required by Title 23 of federal statutes. Responsibility for carrying out the "continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated" ("3C") transportation planning process rests jointly with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and PACOG. In practice, PACOG transportation planning activities are carried out by the Urban Transportation Planning Division, which may use the resources of the City of Pueblo Departments of Transportation or Community Development, Pueblo County Departments of Planning and Public Works, and various external consulting firms, as needed. Contracts and agreements for the administration of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) funds are executed by CDOT and PACOG based on the program objectives of the current Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and implemented by the Urban Transportation Planning Division as authorized and directed by the PACOG Board of Directors.
The 3C Planning Process
The "3C" planning process in Pueblo is designed to provide for joint agency participation with centralized program control and direction. Technical activities are coordinated through PACOG's Urban Transportation Planning Division by delegation agreements and contracts between PACOG and the City of Pueblo. The general objectives of the UPWP are to:
- Assist all participating agencies in achieving applicable comprehensive planning goals and in fulfilling the statutory requirements of the reauthorization of the federal SAFETEA-LU legislation.
Assist all local agencies in fulfilling their continuing responsibilities to the community, including, but not limited to:
- Reviewing projects receiving Federal funds as provided for in Section 302 of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1964; Title VI of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968; and Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
- Using the products of the transportation planning process as a major contribution to other comprehensive planning activities, and providing the mechanisms for the continued integration of transportation planning with land use and other comprehensive planning.
- Updating and revising basic transportation planning, regional socioeconomic, and transportation system operating data using applicable GIS, or other technologies, for these systems.
- Modifying developed plans and programs as warranted by changes in travel patterns or urban conditions, and translating plans into action programs for project implementation.
- Carry out specific transportation planning functions required for the continued certification of the Pueblo area urban transportation planning process including the biannual development and annual refinement of the UPWP, the biannual development of the TIP, and an update of the Long Range Transportation Plan every three years.
These program implementation objectives will be reached through the successful and timely completion of scheduled FY 2006-2007 work tasks in each of the program areas.
The links below describe policy guidance for the MPO's programs and plans.

guitarpro brauchte ein neues Anderes Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 13 Designs von 8 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I am trying to build a list from my blog. People find the blog from my YouTube posts. If they register they get a free lesson. I need the look of my blog to be cool, friendly and inviting with a guitar-oriented theme. My demographic suggests people 35 and older so there needs to be some uncluttered sophistication and organization.
Take my existing Wordpress (2.7.1) blog and make it look cool with a new theme and style. This blog is about playing guitar and other things of interest to guitar players including interviews. It needs to be simple/uncluttered and hip-looking and should appeal to people 35 and older males. I need an index and the current articles moved over and embed HD videos embedded which are hosted on Youtube (some are on the blog now, but they all need to be embed to all play in HD and be organized- most are brief guitar lessons). You can view my YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/stratoman. This will possibly lead to more work like a squeeze page and revisions as it grows in popularity. You must have been on 99 Designs for some time and be an absolute ninja on Wordpress.
The blog must be easily updated by me or an administrator so you will need to create an (easy for me to use) template when I want to add pages.
I would really like to get this done for $75 -$100. Be sure to have examples of this type of work to be considered. The blog is http://www.guitarbanddvd.org Please be in North America and absolutely fluent in English.
- I am not a designer and have no experience with this. You need to come up with something that has an easy to look at color scheme and modern fonts. It can look even a little retro/moderne perhaps. It needs to be easy to navigate and have embedded videos and categorized. I have done what I can myself and it looks lousy. It needs to have a little flair but not cartoonish. Images of Stratocasters, Les Pauls, Telecasters etc. and amplifiers, effects pedals might work.
- Gimmicky, cartoonish or cluttered. It needs to be sublty classy and still look rock and roll.

If Kazakhstan didn't have enough beef with "Borat" already, it sure does now.
Shooting sport event organizers in Kuwait were left scrambling for apologies — and the Kazakh team was left furious — after the fake Kazakhstan national anthem from Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy was played instead of the country's real one during a medal ceremony, BBC News reported.
After shooting champion Maria Dmitrienko, from Kazakhstan, took to the pedestal at the 10th Arab Shooting Championship on Thursday to collect her gold medal for a trap shooting event, she wasn't expecting to hear a parody.
U.S. & World
"She got up on to the pedestal and they played a completely different anthem, offensive to Kazakhstan," her coach told a Kazakh news channel. He said event organizers had apparently downloaded the wrong national anthem from the internet and had also botched the Serbian national anthem.
Some of the fake "Borat" anthem's less offensive lyrics, according to The Hollywood Reporter, include: "Kazakhstan's prostitutes are the cleanest in the region, except, of course, for Turkmenistan's."
"Borat" is already banned in Kazakhstan, among other countries, and the Kazakh government has threatened Baron Cohen with litigation over its depiction in the hit movie, according to BBC News.
Fortunately, the Sydney Morning Herald reported, the organizers of the Arab Shooting Championship in Kuwait followed up their gaffe with an apology and a repeat of the award ceremony — with Kazakhstan's actual national anthem played.
