I cannot make any claim to accuracy for the materials that I have used to make these articles. In some cases, the journals go back 50 years. — Curtis Redgap
Then, on top of all else, Dad picked up a rumor that there was some sort of plan to introduce a "watered down" version of the Chrysler 300 in the spring, either March or April to coincide with the usual upsurge of sales when warm weather arrived. Supposedly it would consist of only a hardtop and a convertible built on the Windsor chassis with the small wheelbase of 122 inches. It was to be equipped with upgraded interior, special identifying trim packages, and a high performance version of the new RB 383 c.i. "Golden Lion" Chrysler V-8. He hit the roof. "Here we are not being able to sell the real thing, and some knothead over in marketing wants to swamp us with a weak-kneed cousin that you probably couldn't give away!"
He spent the next two weeks practically living on the telephone to nail down this "300-X" project. When he did confirm that plans were in the works for just such a car, he mustered his dealership forces, along with the heavy hitters in stock holdings, and got the idea and the car nixed.
Funny thing, though. About the time of the January introduction of the 300E, we got a bunch of phamplets describing the 300-X. It set Dad off all over again, until we discovered that it had all been a mistake. The things we got were supposed to have been burned. We should have received the new Chrysler 300E brochures, but, guess what... they went to the incinerator!
Still, there were some people that wanted that car, and wanted it badly. When they figured out who was truly responsible for its demise, a sort of state of war occured. They kept right on beating that drum which resulted in the decision, shortly afterwards, to introduce the Chrysler 300 (no letter) in 1962.
One last discordant note:
For 1960, Mr. Exner had one model called the Plymouth "Super Sport" (Chevrolet hadn't caught that one yet) that was a two-door hardtop coupe with a semi-fastback style that would have been a real showroom traffic generator, had it come to fruition. It was up to full scale clay, before things changed in the Spring of 1960. Things were fast coming to a head.
I can remember seeing the next car that I would own come in the dealership in 1959. It was an all black on black Sport Fury, completely loaded with options, including that silly spare tire thing on the truck lid. Called the "toilet seat", it held some sort of fascination for Virgil Exner in some of his designs. I never saw much use for it except as an excellent spot for rust to start. Shortly after I acquired the car in 1964, I had the trunk door replaced with a plain model. I thought it improved the looks of the rear of the Plymouth. Funny how things work out sometimes.
I was really enjoying my '58 Belvedere during 1963. However, every once in awhile I would see that '59 Fury around town, and I couldn't help but fall in love with it all over again.
Along about May1964, my brother shows up from his station in Virginia Beach. He and 3 other drunken sailors came whizzing home in a 57 Pontiac Star Chief that he thought was the hottest ticket on wheels. No, he and Dad never did see eye to eye, and anything other than a Chrysler was what my brother would drive. Dad never said too much after the argument they had when my brother was about to graduate. One afternoon as I was coming home from school, my brother blasts up beside me. I have to admit that I was a bit ticked off at him anyway. However, he was about 1/2 in the bag and trying to show off to his buddies. He wouldn't leave me alone. Finally, my temper got the best of my reason and I stuck my foot straight into the carburator on that rebuilt 361 I had in the Plymouth. Never saw my brother again. Oh, he hung on the left rear fender until the Torqueflite hit second gear... then it was adios! I was determined to give him an earful the next day, but fate stepped in. I guess after getting shot down by me, he and his friends continued on their daily activity of trying to drink all the bars out of booze while they were here. Very late, or early, depending on your perception, and very tanked, they all piled into the Pontiac. My brother was way beyond driving, being passed out in the back seat. One of his companions came under severe scrunity of the local law enforcers. He managed to give some of our finest the "slip." As he eased his way out of town, he took a country road that had a severe 90 degree turn in it. At about 50 miles an hour, they left the road, flew about 100 of so feet over a small embankment, and ended up in a grove of scrub trees. By then, everyone was awake. Not too sober, but awake. Recognizing that their predicament could get them all in big trouble, not only with the law, but with the Navy, my brother goes down the road and got a farmer that lived along there to come with a tractor to get the car out. He charged them $40 too, which served them right. Had a heckuva time getting them out. When it was all over, the Pontiac was not drivable. So, hat in hand, dragging that piece of junk along, he goes to Dad for help. The prodigal returns, right? Not. Dad tried to arrange financing, but the bank said "no." Then my brother comes up looking at my car!
I was so livid, I wouldn't even talk to him. However, after sleeping on it, I came up with an idea of my own. Early the next morning, I went over to see the owner of that '59 Fury. Still in beautiful shape and it only had 23,000 miles on the odometer. Of course, the people that owned it knew me. They had been thinking of a new car, so I came at the right time. They wanted $500 cash. I smiled all the way home. When I got there, my brother was still at the breakfast table. I told him if we wanted my car, I needed $750 for it, but it had to be right now! He whined and complained, but I didn't budge. Call that professional training from watching all those car deals.
He coughed up the money. I went over and got my '59 Fury. Turned out not to need much at all. I changed the brakes to the non-organic linings. I also increased the wheel size to the Police 15" wheels from the Dodge package. It had started to bubble from rust around the top of the fender "eyelids". I some bondo and fixed them on a Saturday afternoon. I ended up replacing the dual exhaust system. It was still basically in place, but just paper thin. I knew that with a couple of my maximum performance take offs, I would probably blown the mufflers into the next county. I don't think in the 5 years that the car had been on the road that the secondaries to the 4 barrel had ever been opened up.
On my first heavy throttle application, the engine sputtered, bucked, hiccupped and refused to run much over 45. I knew what I had to do then. Took it in and had Mr. Greene give it his master touch tune up, which, by the way, I did NOT get a price break on! It cost me 28 bucks! The spark plugs were choked with carbon. So, when he got it all tuned, he took it out back and ran about a quart of kerosene through the carburetor. It created a huge cloud of white smoke, but the carbon was gone. I backed out into the ally and with a heavy single punch of the accelerator, the 361 c.i. roared up to 45 in first gear! Man, was I ever happy! So, my brother went back to Virginia Beach in "his" 1958 Plymouth Belvedere, and I had my 59 Fury. My Dad didn't ask too many questions for some reason. But, he smiled a lot the next few days. Little did I know that in less than a year, things would drastically change.

Mercury flasks on Oak Island?
If such an artifact exists for Oak Island, then the container(s) may be able to be evaluated and pinned to a time period. This is what I have been able to turn up so far.
The earliest mention of mercury flasks on Oak Island, that I was able to find, was found in author D'Arcy O'Connor's book, "The Big Dig: The $10 Million Search for Oak Island's Legendary Treasure". Published Oct 18th 1988.
In following up on this mention in his book, I found a statement by O'Connor on Jo Atherton's Oak Island Treasure forum, in which he said:
"What was found, according to correspondence between Gilbert Hedden and Burrell Ruth (and later confirmed to me by Hedden and Ruth's widows, as well as by Amos Nauss, Hedden's on-site foreman), were thousands of shards of broken pottery flasks in a shallow dump in Joudrey's Cove (north side of the island) in the summer of 1937. Some of the broken flasks contained traces of a liquid silver residue which Hedden had analyzed in Halifax, and which was found to be mercury. This was discovered at the time when Hedden had his crew scouring the island for any markers that might tie into the famous Mar Del map. And no, neither the mercury nor the flasks were (or could be) carbon dated, as neither is an organic substance.
Those are the only first-hand accounts of the presence of mercury on the island that I have ever come across. "
- D'Arcy O'Connor Sun Apr 08, 2007 5:36 pm
So it sounds as if O'Connor found some primary source papers that document this find. We have a substantial library of Hedden papers that we have either purchased or gathered from archival sources, but none of those mention the discovery of mercury on Oak Island. I would love to be able to read those papers in D'Arcy O'Connor's collection. It sounds as if he went to great effort to verify the paperwork by talking with as many of the people closely involved with Hedden efforts as he could.
So is this the only credible mention of mercury flasks being discovered on this treasure island? Recently we related to you part of the contents of a white paper written by Dr. Mark Schmalz, in which further work in enhancing underwater photos of the 10X Cavity. Well that report also purposed work to verify the existence of the mercury flasks as well. Here is an excerpt:
So in the Schmalz paper (1) we find corroboration of D'Arcy O'Connor's research. However O'Connor's book was published in 1988, and the Schmalz paper was written in 1995, so O'Connor's book may have been the sole source of this information for the Triton personnel, who Schmalz states made him aware of this knowledge.
In reviewing the reference section of the Schmalz paper we find the following:
(10) O'Connor, D'Arcy. The Big Dig, New York: Ballantine (1988)
(11) Telephone conversation with D. Blankenship, Triton Alliance Ltd (1994)
(32) Telephone conversations with D. Tobias, Triton Alliance Ltd. (1993-95)
(39) Personal correspondence with D, Tobias, Triton Alliance Ltd. (1994)
I suspect that O'Connor's book and the research behind it stand as the sole primary source stating that mercury flasks were found on Oak Island. Gilbert Hedden conducted one of the most thorough and organized searches of the island to date, so if he wrote that they found these flasks with mercury residue in them in a shallow dump near Joudrey's Cove, I would be inclined to accept it as fact.
In season three of the History Channel's Curse of Oak Island television series, Rick Lagina facilitated a historical reconciliation between Fred Nolan and the Blankenships, who for decades were competing treasure hunters often at odds with each other. With the new collaboration between these parties the search for this shallow dump of mercury flasks should become a priority for the new alliance this summer, seeing as its location near Joudrey's Cove is more than likely on Fred Nolan's land. Incidentally, the "stone paved road" is said to run from Joudrey's Cove to the Pit area. It is interesting that the shallow dump is said to be in the same area. Relocating this dump would be a major find. Here's hoping!
Goodnight from The Blockhouse!

I know this adventure started many years ago when record keeping wasn't a high priority and historically treasure hunters have been secretive (and still are!), it is unfortunate there haven't been "better" record of events and finds throughout the years. When reading this and seeing how this has only been a topic of interest sporadically over the last 30 years or so mainly because it wasn't very well known, makes me wonder what other things have happened or found that gave been overlooked over time, especially things that could provide valuable evidence. Glad to see guys like you and your team looking into these kinds of "forgotten" passages and making a record that can carry on in time until all this is figured out. Good job and thanks for the work that is being done and shared!

MM_MIM_MOREDATA message
The MM_MIM_MOREDATA message is sent to a callback window when a MIDI message is received by a MIDI input device but the application is not processing MIM_DATA messages fast enough to keep up with the input device driver. The window receives this message only when the application specifies MIDI_IO_STATUS in the call to the midiInOpen function.
wParam = (WPARAM) hInput
lParam = (LPARAM) (DWORD) lMidiMessage
Handle to the MIDI input device that received the MIDI message.
Specifies the MIDI message that was received. The message is packed into a doubleword value as follows:
High word High-order byte Not used. Low-order byte Contains a second byte of MIDI data (when needed). Low word High-order byte Contains the first byte of MIDI data (when needed). Low-order byte Contains the MIDI status.
The two MIDI data bytes are optional, depending on the MIDI status byte.
Return Value
This message does not return a value.
If your application will receive MIDI data faster than it can process it, you should not use a window callback mechanism. To maximize speed, use a callback function, and use the MIM_MOREDATA message instead of MM_MIM_MOREDATA.
An application should do only a minimal amount of processing of MM_MIM_MOREDATA messages. (In particular, applications should not call the PostMessage function while processing MM_MIM_MOREDATA.) Instead, the application should place the event data into a buffer and then return.
When an application receives an MM_MIM_DATA message after a series of MM_MIM_MOREDATA messages, it has caught up with incoming MIDI events and can safely call time-intensive functions.
MIDI messages received from a MIDI input port have running status disabled; each message is expanded to include the MIDI status byte.
This message is not sent when a MIDI system-exclusive message is received. No time stamp is available with this message. For time-stamped input data, you must use the messages that are sent to callback functions.

An older man
So I have had this fantasy for a while of being with an older man . I'm 16 but still a virgin so I've never actually done it for reals but I'm still super turned on by older men and I cant really tell anyone about it. But now I have a man in my life I think maybe wants me. He's the brother of my father's girlfriend he's about 35 and we've met a few times and I think he likes to look at me. Now last week he 'babysat' me and my little brothers, I would have been mad for dad getting a babysitter if wasnt him. I was laying against him on the couch when we were watching a movie and that felt so nice and I think he liked it too because I could see his bulge get a bit bigger. Now how do I make sure he likes me because he will babysit us again next week.

He definately was you. There may be legal problems depending where you live, but if you make the first move and make it direct, he will f*** you all night, and do things to you that you have never felt. It will be a wonderful experience for you.
You don't need to 'make sure' he likes you. Assuming 16 is legal age where you are, next time just put your hands down his pants and he won't say a thing.

The Alpha and The Omega - The New Alpha Website
Lord Jesus says: about Himself:
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord who is and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8)
This is how the name for the new "The Alpha and The Omega" website came to be ... It is dedicated for the most wonderful of all names: The Alpha and The Omega
He is "the Lord," or God the Judge, who is to rule.
He is "the Almighty," therefore we should not doubt in His coming or His powers.
He is "the Alpha and the Omega,"
He is "the Beginning and the End."
St. Augustine says that the Son is the Beginning in which heaven and earth were created, because it is said, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth," and "All things were made by Him.
St. Ambrose states, that the Son of God has no beginning, because He is the actual beginning, and He does not have an end, as he is "the End."
By being Himself the beginning, how could He accept or assume what He really is (the beginning of existence as long as He actually exists, because He is the Beginning). And how could He have an end, He who is the ending of all things, and in this "ending" we find ourselves home where we reside without end.
St. Jerome and Tertullian state that this conforms with what the apostle says, that "He might gather together in one all things in Christ" (Eph. 1:10), or in whom we find all our needs. In whom He holds His Church, keep her, protect her and provide her with all her needs.
The Book of Revelation

By Ruben Romero
Infocomm was showing a softer side this year. The expo hall floor was oversaturated by collaborative software.
Cloud-based, on-prem, interactive, interoperable, GUI-base customizable software built to control, monitor, analyze, metricize, and automate. Software that bridges gaps and enhances workflow.
Sweet, sweet collaboration. You are now becoming a real life thing.
Two years ago, I would have stood in one of those booths and told you that the future of collaboration is in the cloud and easily accessible. I still stand by that mantra, however, two years ago the option were limited and there wasn't much of a market. The need was still evolving, and organizations needed time to migrate strategy.
This year, Infocomm showed a saturation of software products, each tackling the beast of collaboration from their own angle, and many with a cloud option. So what follows arebrief synopses of what's out there and what it does.
The Ideation and Collaboration Tools [in no particular order]:
Prysm's story revolves around the bridge from device to presentation. Director of Product Marketing David Schweer showed me around a booth where every screen, from mobile device to the impressive 190" tiled Prysm wall, displayed the same project. Each screen itself a portal to a collaboration session in which the whole booth participated. "With collaboration, it's all about an initial idea that needs an outcome," said Schweer. "Whether you are on a personal device or in a room, ideas can be shared quicker and reach outcomes easier."
Prysm turned heads in these last couple of months because it has finally started to certify third party displays. Avocor and Planar are early partners, and Prysm also showed a project on a Microsoft Surface Hub. They are looking to build on a story on interoperability. Schweer mentioned a desire to move out of being known for their epic tiled interactive walls, and become a more true to form software company.
Oblong's Mezzanine platform is coming at projects from a different perspective but ending up in the same place. Mezzanine is looking to connect rooms in various locations with a fully specified hardware solution that utilizes the Oblong IR wand technology, rather than interactive displays. Oblong solves the very real problem of climbing over furniture to interact with content.
Oblong has integrated some spiffy features that include voice control through G-Speak, combined with an IBM Watson integration, users are only a question away from all of human knowledge. Also, and maybe more valuable over the long run, Oblong has released different sized investment options for their systems. Rather than the uber-slick, 6-display Mezzanine 600 system as an entry point, users can start with the smaller, still effective, and more easily deployed two-display Mezzanine 200 series.
Bluescape has partnered with more display partners and could be spotted at several points of the floor. Bluescape's focus has always been on interoperability and the seamless fit into any system standard. Bluescape positions itself as a platform that drives design and ideation decisions, and they're certification model allows them to provide a solution for any budget. To date, they've approved Dell's new interactive display line, the Microsoft Surface Hub, Optika, Planar, 3M, Multitaction, and Avocor.
Bluescape, which is strictly a Software as a Service product, has been doing cloud longer than any of the other players in this space and has become focused on the solutions that can be built off of its use cases. Device agnostic, poly-display compatible, and interoperable, Bluescape was an Easter Egg scattered throughout the show floor. Bluescape's value is in their mostly complete detachment from requiring hardware, instead allowing the cloud-based workspace to be the point of collaboration and always accessible.
Nureva's Span system has grown by leaps and bounds this year. In speaking with Channel Manager Ryan Blomfield, I learned that Nureva has joined the interoperability movement. By partnering with Avocor, ELO, and still offering its interactive short throw projector, Nureva is creating a means to more easily deploy.
Nureva is driving home a story around fostering design thinking by creating easily deployed interactive spaces. The Nureva workspaces do not have the number of features that the other products on this list have, but because Nureva keeps the core of its product pure it is more easily adoptable, which could prove to be its best value over time.
T1V has been looking to develop a niche within higher education. T1V's ThinkHub solution is interoperable with different monitor types, including a white labeled T1V interactive display. Interactive touch mixed with a way to add direct content via a mobile app, a desktop client, or direct HDMI inputs.
Director of Sales and Marketing Adam Loritsch was also very excited about the new ViewHub system, which creates a Leader/Follower relationship between four different instances. ViewHub will be utilized in an educational environment where small groups can collaborate, and the instructor can easily bring their workspaces [up to four] to her master display for wider group discussion and collaboration.
Multitaction Canvus
Multitaction sounds like they're finally ready to move Canvus out of Beta. MT has even started moving the collaboration tool that it's developed outside of its premium and pricey Multitaction MT555 display and display walls. The Canvus software is spiffy and can connect in a private or public cloud. MT is still the smallest bezel in interactive right now, and the best experience in a large wall tiled environment, but I saw Canvus running on a Surface Hub, which makes me think that MT is ready to jump feet first into its collaboration software play.
The big boys and their commodity offerings:
The Surface Hub is a PC running Windows 10 Team stuck inside a very nice Perceptive Pixel interactive display and with some integrated cameras. The Surface Hub is positioned as a collaboration tool, but it's as strong as the usage of the tools that run on it. The PPI display is absolutely gorgeous and super-responsive. Many of the collaboration technology makers above have found a way to run on the Surface Hub hardware.
Microsoft seems to be positioning itself as an enterprise marketplace for apps, in comparison to some of it's competitors' focus on consumer marketplaces. For the right organization, every Surface Hub can be a wormhole that transports teamwork across the digital ecosystem. But, by allowing the other software makers a platform thorough which they can distribute their stuff on the Surface Hub [auxiliary video inputs, the Windows marketplace], Surface Hub can be be a powerful standalone hardware tool.
This was my first interaction with the Jamboard. I was impressed. Sure, right now the software is limited, and it looks more like a digital whiteboard than a sophisticated collaboration tool. But it just came to the market, and the hardware is very impressive. The tools that are available currently on the Jamboard through G Suite will strongly support some of the design thinking processes that collaboration tools traditionally consider as their core use cases. And let's not forget that at a easy to digest price tag, it'll be easily purchased in higher ed and by small design firms — two organization-types in which Google Enterprise thrives.
This was also my first time interfacing with the Cisco SparkBoard. In a Cisco environment, where Cisco is the standard UCC platform, Cisco can be valuable.
I am including Zoom. Zoom is a Software as a Service. Zoom's Zoom Room is Zoom's answer to a standard videoconferencing room. The Zoom Room is basically a small form factor computer with a USB camera and some USB table mics attached. Also an app on a tablet to control the whole thing. This system can be, like, 90% less expensive than the more traditional videoconferencing room systems, easier to use, and capable of connecting people anywhere.
I am including Zoom in my "Big Boy" category, because Zoom is legitimately and actively blowing up the videoconferencing segment, and delivering on the almost half-decade old promise of VideoConferencing-as-a-Service [aka Codec-in-the-Cloud]. The simplicity of use and deployment, plus some choice strategic partnerships, have propelled Zoom into the realm of the other major players on this list.
Bits and Bobs
Here's some of the unsung things that will enable the scalability of the various types of interactive systems above.
Barco's OpSpace
Essentially a GUI for control rooms [with a little bit of signal processing hardware]. Barco is answering the problem of intuitive UI and quick source signal switching.
Dycap has this really interesting software that can automate motion tracking on a camera. An easy client-based UI will support any broadcast space's video strategy.
Icron's smart and sensible Raven line of USB and DisplayPort extenders can do 4Kp60 200 meters over fiber. [Finally!]
Haivision – secure encoder/decoder video broadcast over IP. Also a content hosting platform. Meetings and broadcasts that are captured finally have a place where they can be accessed and serve the value they've meant to have.
#Collaboration is a legitimate market segment. Amongst the solutions above, various display and interactive technology vendors are building out products that will support it. Dell, Avocor, Planar, 3M.Flat Frog, PQ Labs, NEC, Baanto and many, many more manufacturers are starting to capitalize on the promise of interactive collaboration. Each display, each software, each packaged solution has its own need for evaluation against individual use cases, but with plenty to choose from, there's bound to be something that fits in any ecosystem.

Treatment Model Car Wax
"The Final Detail"
Kit for Pocher 1/8 kits
for plastics, paint, and metal surfaces
Final Detail" Model Wax
by The Treatment
in economical 5 ounce jars (2 jars per order*)
in stock
If you've used this wax you know there's nothing like it. This is the original Model Wax; deepens color on all painted or unpainted plastic. Removes fine scratches and helps eliminate imperfections. The secret of professional model builders for years. Can be used to buff out clear plastic and unpainted plastic surfaces, and prevents clear styrene from glue fogging. Contains pure carnauba wax.
to order: click a PayPal payment button below
* to save on handling and shipping costs the minimum US order is now 2 jars, but the price per jar is reduced and all orders ship by trackable Priority Mail.
a new label but the same "The Treatment" Wax
Use this polishing kit to smooth the "orange peel" surface of a rough paint job, or put a mirror finish on good paint (see additional note below). Works on all painted surfaces, varnished wood, and bare plastics (even clear parts). It is also invaluable for creating varied finishes on raw metal parts, ranging anywhere from a dull cast finish to a chrome-like shine. This is the polishing system I use on all of my models. It does take some patience and time, but you will be amazed at the difference between the "shiny"* paint job you used to be happy with and the new mirror smooth finish achieved with this kit.

|* additional note: "Shiny" paint can be achieved with or without polishing, especially if clear coated. The shine is the result of the paint drying properly, and means the microscopic top surface of the paint is reflecting light well. If you look at the reflections in that shiny paint, however, you will almost always notice they are wavy and distorted. This is because the overall surface of the paint is not smooth. Proper body prep can help avoid this wavy surface, but all the top automotive restoration shops sand and polish their paint after it has dried to achieve a concours quality finish, and your models will look best when finished this way as well.

Calendar Review A Year of Crystal Healing 2019 Learn About the Chakras and Healing Powers of 13 Powerful Crystals
Calendar Review
A Year of Crystal Healing 2019
Learn About the Chakras and Healing Powers of 13 Powerful Crystals
16 Month Calendar
This 16 month calendar (Sept 18-Dec 19) is designed by Phil Buchanan, photographed by Exquisite Crystals and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc. It retails for $14.99 in USA. It is a standard wall calendar size. It features 13 beautiful crystals in full page photographs and explains under each crystal both that crystal's healing powers and it's chakra powers.
The crystals featured are a nice mix, and include: clear quartz, fluorite, ajoite, amethyst, aura quartz, amazonite, moonstone, blue sapphire, brandberg quartz (amethyst), aquamarine, smoky quartz, turquoise, and celestite. All the crystals chosen are either clear, blue, green or purple in color. Not sure if this was intentional or not. But worth mentioning. It also has the moon phase dates at the top under each month.
If you enjoy looking at beautiful photos of crystals, and learning a bit about them as well, then this is a very nice calendar for you. The pictures are gorgeous, especially if you like blues, greens & purples, or if that color scheme fits your decor, this will look beautiful on your wall.
I love that is has the moon phases clearly marked right up top under the month for easy reference. I love that it includes a little bit of information each month on the featured crystal. Great for beginners to crystals to learn as they admire the pictures. I personally love that they made this calendar as a crystal enthusiast myself! Crystals are becoming more popular and many are now starting to get interested in them for both their aesthetic value as well as their properties. I love seeing products featuring crystals!
I highly recommend this gorgeous calendar. Bring some crystal magic into your space by hanging this calendar and getting familiar with their essence.

ConocoPhillips has shut down its 238,000 barrel-per-day Bayway refinery in Linden, N.J., as a precaution ahead of Hurricane Irene. The company also says its terminals are shutting down until it is safe to resume operations.
As a matter of company policy, ConocoPhillips does not discuss day-to-day fluctuations in refinery production. However, Energy News Today is reporting the Bayway refinery's 145,000 barrel per day "catcracker," a gasoline-making unit, and part of the crude unit have halted operation. As of 6 p.m. ET, Conoco's 185,000 barrel per day refinery in Trainer, Pa., is still operating.
Other East Coast oil refineries, which together handle nearly 7 percent of the nation's refining capacity for gasoline, diesel fuel and other products, appear ready and willing to operate through the storm—at least for now.
But sources familiar with refinery operations say processing rates were cut ahead of the storm at Sunoco's East Coast refineries.
Sunoco said its refineries in Philadelphia and Marcus Hook, Pa., continued to operate as normal despite some unit outages during the past week.
Two units at its 330,000 barrel per day Philadelphia refinery shut down earlier this week due to a fire. Refining capacity at Marcus Hook is 175,000 barrels per day.
A spokeswoman for Hess, which operates a 70,000 barrel per day refinery in Port Reading, N.J., says it will operate through the storm at a reduced rate starting this evening.
PBF Energy said its two Northeastern U.S. refineries were operating at planned rates ahead of Hurricane Irene, according to Reuters.
The privately held PBF owns a 190,000 barrel per day refinery in Delaware City, Del., and a 185,000 barrels per day refinery in Paulsboro, New Jersey.
Both are near the Port of Philadelphia, which has declared Port Condition Yankee, which means gale force winds are expected in 24 hours.
Sources familiar with operations say the Colonial Pipeline, the nation's largest refined fuels pipeline transporting 2.3 million barrels a day, is so far operating normally during the hurricane.
The main Colonial pipeline, delivering fuel from Gulf Coast refiners to the New York Harbor area, is continuing to operations during the hurricane.
However, a smaller "stub line" running from Richmond to Norfolk has closed due to power outages.

I nearly titled this post: Influences #1: Josef Sudek. But when I went to choose some of his images to illustrate my meaning I realised 'influence' wasn't the correct word. I had already been making still lifes of ordinary domestic objects, and views through windows and other transparent, reflective, and distorting entities when I first saw his work. So he can't really be said to be an influence, he's more like a mentor. By making the choices he did he validates my own, helps me see how to make the photographs I want to, and inspires me to not be overly diverted from my theme.
Before seeing Sudek's photographs
I worried that my focus on the domestic was of no interest to anyone but me. Although I didn't really mind if most people thought my work was rubbish, I did, and do, mind making no connections whatsoever. At heart I'm a philosopher who is trying to get to grips with the question of (universal) eudaimonia. My art, both visual and text based (mostly fiction writing, but some poetry) is a way of exploring this, and I need a little interaction. My work is a call to others who also want to solve this problem, it needs a response.
Sudek showed me that response was possible
There are people out there interested in a different kind of narrative, who understand we can't know everything, and luxuriate in that. People who enjoy the questions.* People who accept their view is flawed because it's not, and can never be, every view, and perfect clarity is rarely, if ever, achievable. People who can hold two apparently opposing views at once and not feel they have to defend that, who can accept both that they may be wrong, and that they just haven't seen the connections yet. People who are open to the idea that domesticity is no less important than commerce, business, politics and warmongering.
Here are some of my favourite Sudek photographs (for further thoughts, should you want them, you can click on individual images):
I feel quite comfortable about what I have chosen to photograph over the years, and unconcerned that my images are less than National Geographic sharp. Here are some shots I have worried are laughable:
While I realise my stuff doesn't come close to the brilliance of Sudek's, I feel all I need do is keep working at it, and happy to continue.
*As Rilke entreated his young poet to do.

The Forgotten WarriorBook - 2011 | 1st ed
The end of the stars draws near. Three must become four to battle the darkness that lasts forever. . . .
With a divided StarClan driving a treacherous rift between the four warrior Clans, the spirits of the Dark Forest are gaining strength. Ivypool's role as a spy is becoming more dangerous with each passing day. Dovewing is haunted by nightmares about the mountains and finds herself paralyzed by fear of what lies ahead.
Then an outsider appears in ThunderClan's midst, spreading discord and pushing the Clans further apart. As tensions mount and Clanmates turn against one another, the warrior cats will be forced to choose whose word they can trust--before it's too late.

I haven't even read this book yet, by the way. Anyways, Sol doesn't deserve all the hate. He
's an actually interesting villain. Keep all of your hate to yourself and use this space responsibly to say your opinion about the book. NOT SOL. He can be annoying at times but please, just keep your spoilers and hate to yourselves.
I think this book will be good like all of the warrior books! Cant wait to read it!
Oh hecc does anyone else hope that Dovewing and Bumblestripe become mates? Also pleaseeeeee NO MORE SOL. JUST NO. I'm so happy Hollyleaf came back tho! Even though I know she dies in the next book. TwT
Amazing!! Hollyleaf's my fovorite. I've read this book six times now. My favorite book in the OTS arc.
I just started reading this series this year and I've read every single book.
I love this book so much! I loved all the cool plot twists! Amazing work by Erin Hunter!
I counted 9 spoilers and that's just the first page, there are 5 PAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways... I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to read the next book!!!!!!!!!!!
People it is really bad to say spoilers, seriously it isn't nice. Someone might come along looking at the reviews and they would have the WHOLE book spoiled for them. You might not care, but it is really mean to spoil!!!!!!! And you can't just say "SPOILER ALERT" that won't do anything to stop someone from reading the spoiler. I never look at reviews any more before I read a book 'cause I know that the whole book will be spoiled for me!!!!!!!!!! It's just stupid.
Who votes to kill Sol Vote: Like this comment! Sol is so mean (MY OPINION) He nearly destroyed ------Clan! He made -----Star not go to a gathering. EVIL
*might be a spoiler*
Hollyleaf!!!!!!!! She's back!!!!! Hollyleaf is one of my favorite ThunderClan cats.
*Contains a spoiler:
I honestly don't know if I felt more relieved that Hollyleaf returned, or that she would forever remain a mystery. With this, there is probably more closure, but I also felt that the last book of the previous series was a bit over the top in leaving her disappearance as a shock. What was the point? But with the idea of there being a "fourth cat," the foundation is once again shaken up to the point where they no longer know where to start with uncovering the prophecy. The impacts of Sol are rather dramatic on the Clans, which put the political issues into perspective once again.

SummaryAdd a Summary
The Clans are never at peace - even though sometimes the cats may think they are. Tensions are rising among the cats, and some mysterious cat is helping ThunderClan. Shadows are lurking in the background and it only takes one cat set Clan against Clan, warrior against warrior.
As a full-scale battle against the Dark Forest moves closer, tensions between the warrior Clans reach a breaking point. Suddenly, a stranger appears in ThunderClan's midst, spinning a web of deceit and pitting the warriors against each other so that no cat can tell who to trust.
So this is an account of things that happened in the Forgotten Warrior.1(not in order).Ivypool continues to spy on the Dark Forest.2. She kills Antpelt in the Dark Forest.3.A fox comes into ThunderClan territory.4. Sol comes back & takes credit for saving Cherrypaw & Molepaw from the fox.5. Mousewhisker & an apprentice have some type of seizure or something by eating water hemlock instead of parsley (Jayfeather didnt give it to them, they just got it)6. Hollyleaf comes back. 7. Dovewing & Ivypool find out that Sol is plotting an attack with WindClan warriors through the tunnels.8. Hollyleaf teaches ThunderClan how to properly fight underground in the tunnels. 9. Sol tells Hollyleaf about his plan to break the Warrior Code and himself coming to SkyClan and being rejected during the tunnel fight. 10. Hollyleaf lets Sol escape
QuotesAdd a Quote
"We have to let the warrior code rule our hearts. The death of a warrior does not mean victory."
"Never! Not until I have destroyed everything the Clans stand for. Many seasons ago, I knew another one of your Clans, far away in a gorge. They scorned me too; they told me I wasn't good enough to be one of their precious warriors! So I vowed to prove to all of you that the warrior code means nothing. In the end, you will kill each other for reasons that aren't worth so much as a mousetail."-Sol
"I have returned. Let vengeance begin."

Gillian's getting married, and all the Griffins except Brian are invited, and she wants Peter to give her away. Despite Brian's insistence that he's over Gillian, he's still hurt by being left out, and Stewie suggests that he and Brian have dinner with Gillian and her fiancé. Turns out Derek speaks French (and orange! Mandarin. Mandolin.) and is something like Superman and Mr. Miyagi in one. Worse, Brian follows him to the bathroom and finds that he has no apparent shortcomings at all. Distraught, he gets wrecked at a bar and ends up in bed with Lauren Conrad of MTV's The Hills.
The next morning, Brian tries to sneak away before anyone notices, but Stewie, who's been hat shopping, spots them from across the street and gets the two of them invited to the set of The Hills (an outing for which Stewie has the perfect unisex hat!). Any dreams of anonymity Brian had are quickly crushed as Stewie leaks his affair with Lauren to the media and the whole world knows. And all the late-night hosts make cracks about it, and the Griffins laugh at him for dating such a flake.
Brian goes to visit Lauren to try and break things off, but he finds her playing the violin in a study filled with books she's read in between bouts of biomolecular research, and is shocked that the whole ditz image is just an act to keep herself employable. So he stays with her and brings her to dinner, but is put off when she keeps correcting him and making him very aware that she's smarter than him. He decides he can't handle that, and calls it off, realizing later that it's similar to what he had with Gillian, only reversed, and that he still loves Gillian. Lauren encourages him to go after her.
Meanwhile, Gillian and Peter are planning the wedding, and Peter offers to be the wedding singer so that people will be able to understand all the words to the songs—unlike when Sting sings and you can only understand the last three words.
Brian goes to a restaurant with Stewie in drag in order to make Gillian jealous, but all that happens is that Stewie runs into a lot of guys he knows "from Starbucks" who call him Desirée. So Brian does the only thing left to do: He interrupts the wedding and declares his love for Gillian, only to be rejected. Oh, and he gave Lauren worms.
• Brian's internet dating experiences, for which his profile lists him as a Golden Retriever
• The Kix cereal gag
• The restaurant Brian and Stewie meet Gillian at is Qu'est-ce Que Pue (What Stinks)
• Bruce Jenner is an elegant, beautiful Dutch woman

British cabinet ministers today again urged Israel to agree a ceasefire in Gaza and allow aid agencies unfettered access to help Palestinians desperately in need of help in the territory.
The international development secretary, Douglas Alexander, led the appeal after his department announced it was providing £6.9m in aid for the area following the bombing by Israel that began on December 27.
"We want to see a greater level of access because the level of human suffering behind the conflict is growing daily," Alexander said.
The minister insisted that the UK was "highly engaged", along with the US and its Middle Eastern partners, in trying to bring the conflict to an end. He denied the US was being inactive, and said that much diplomacy was going on behind the scenes.
But Alexander also acknowledged that the crisis was the product of failed peace talks over the past year or more, saying that everyone needed to give the issue greater priority.
The Israeli security cabinet is due to meet today to discuss their next moves.
Alexander told the BBC today: "Aid is desperately needed in Gaza. The human cost of this conflict is unacceptable and the humanitarian situation is getting worse by the hour.
"Thousands are suffering. Medical items are in short supply. Fuel shortages have led to power cuts, which in turn are affecting hospitals and other essential services. And UN stocks of food are very low.
"The limited aid that is getting through cannot be distributed properly because of bombing from the air and rocket attacks launched from inside Gaza.
"The fighting must stop to enable humanitarian agencies to help people in desperate need.
"The government remains gravely concerned by the conflict and we renew our appeal to all parties to end the violence immediately."
The foreign secretary, David Miliband, held talks with his European partners in Paris last night, where the outgoing French presidency of the European Union has been leading diplomatic efforts to broker a 48-hour ceasefire.
Miliband has also been in touch with the outgoing US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice.
Members of the Quartet of world powers trying to promote Middle East peace concluded a conference call – which the Quartet's envoy, Tony Blair, took part in – with an appeal for an immediate ceasefire.
Britain, along with the rest of the Quartet – which is made up of the US, the UN, the EU, and Russia – continues to refuse to recognise Hamas, the elected administration in Gaza, arguing that Hamas supports violence and refuses to recognise Israel.
Privately there is a recognition that Israeli politicians are playing it tough ahead of elections next month, and this may delay the agreement of a ceasefire.
Overall in 2008 the British government provided £19m to the UN for its work with Palestinian refugees and £2m to the Red Cross to provide food, medicines and shelter in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Britain also provided over £50m to help the Palestinian Authority pay doctors' and teachers' salaries and provide essential services in both the West Bank and Gaza.

Jack White has lived in Nashville for several years, and has become an active member of the community there. He's a business owner, having established Third Man Records in the Southern city, and now, he's lending a hand to the mayor's office by joining a gender equality council led by the mayor's office.
Per The Tennessean, we learn that The White Stripes' founder will help the mayor's office chip away at gender-based wage and benefit disparities as part of an advisory group for the gender equity council. The paper reports that White's group will use "data-informed recommendations and advice" to help the city keep tabs on the problem.
At a press conference on Wednesday, White spoke at length about his involvement in the project, and aired some of his beliefs in the process:
"It is embarrassing that in 2016 there are any differences in benefits or wages between genders in our society. Gender equity is something that should've been solved a century ago worldwide, and it is sad that we even need to address it. If the person does the work, the benefits of doing that work, should be equal among all human beings.
As owner of the record label third man records, with locations in both Nashville and Detroit, I am proud to say that since 2013 all employees of my record label have had a minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour, regardless of gender.
I encourage small businesses to do the same, it is possible. You wont go broke. A person shouldn't need 2 jobs just to have food and shelter. And if small businesses like mine can do this, billion dollar businesses like Walmart can do it as well."
White also noted that all employees of Third Man Records enjoy health insurance, six-month paid maternity leave and three-month paid paternity leave. His full statement is on Facebook.
Now, go hang out at Jack's Third Man Records store in Nashville:

Fishing knots are used to connect your fluorocarbon, monofilament or braided fishing line to your hook. However, the process of how to make fishing knots and the specific type of knot you use will vary depending on your line and hook. When learning how to make a knot, you must also discover what knot to use for lures, as your lure will also play a role in how you tie your knot.
Several popular types of fishing knots used today include the palomar, surgeon's, uni-knot and improved clinch knot. One of the strongest fishing knots is the palomar knot. While other effective knots include the surgeon's loop, uni-knot and improved clinch knot, these knots are not ideal for every type of angling method. To learn more about how to tie every fishing knot for greater strength and durability, review the sections below.
What are the different types of fishing knots?
While numerous fishing knots are available to learn, it is important to use a knot that is known for its strength and durability, as knots are the weakest point of your fishing line and are prone to breakage. However, the type of fishing knot you use will vary depending on its specific purpose. For instance, various fishing knot types include line to line, loop, terminal tackle and miscellaneous knots. While line to line fishing knots are used to tie one fishing line to another, loop knots are used to create a knot anywhere on the line. For instance, a line to line fishing knot is often used to tie a leader to the main fishing line, while a loop knot is often used to tie a lure onto a line.
What are fishing knots used for?
Many types of fishing knots are used by beginner and veteran anglers, including the improved clinch, palomar, surgeon's and uni-knot. While other fishing knot types are available, these knots are generally the easiest to learn. To learn more about what type of knot to use for a lure or fishing line, review the following:
- Apalomarfishing knotis one of the strongest fishing knots to use, making it ideal for tying monofilament line to terminal tackle, hooks or lures.
- A surgeon's knot is used to create a loop at the end of a fishing line.
- A uni-knot is ideal for connecting monofilament fishing line to terminal tackle or hooks.
- The improved clinch knot isideal for tying monofilament fishing line to terminal tackle, swivels or lures.
How do you make the palomar fishing knot?
One of the strongest fishing knots is known as the palomar knot. To learn how to make fishing knotssuch as these, you must:
- Create a loop by doubling four to six inches of fishing line and passing the end of the loop through the eye of the hook.
- Allow the hook to hang loose.
- Using the doubled line, tie a loose overhand knot.
- Hold the overhand knot between your thumb and forefinger and pass the loop completely over the hook.
- Moisten the fishing line.
- To tighten the fishing knot, slowly pull on each end of the line until the finished knot sits at the eye of the hook.
- If necessary, clip the tag end of the line.
How do you make the surgeon's fishing knot?
While the process of how to tie every fishing knot is not always as easy as it looks, the surgeon's loop is a simple and effective knot worth learning. To learn how to make a fishing knot such as the surgeon's loop, review the following steps:
- Double the end of the fishing line to form a loop.
- At the base of the double line, tie an overhand knot.
- Leaving the center of the overhand knot open, bring the doubled line through the loop once more.
- Holding the standing and tag end of the line, pull the loop to tighten the surgeon's knot.
How do you make the uni-knot?
Uni fishing knots are simple and dependable knots for connecting terminal tackle to monofilament lines. To tie this type of fishing knot, you must:
- Hold the hook with your left hand and pass the fishing line through the eye of the hook.
- Overlap the two lines by at least six inches, passing the tag end of the line over to the right.
- Using your left thumb and index finger, tightly lock the two lines in place.
- Loop thetag end of the lineupward, securing the line with your left thumb and index finger so the loop sits in front of the doubled line.
- Using your right index finger and thumb, take the tag end of the line and weave it through the loop five times.
- Pull the tag end of the line to tighten the fishing knot, creating a large slipknot.
- Holding the hook with your left hand, use your right hand to pull the right side of the fishing line away from the hook, as this will slide the knot down to the eye of the hook.
- Trim the tag end of the line, if necessary.
How do you make the improved clinch knot?
Improved clinch fishing knots are also known as the fisherman's knot. To learn how to make fishing knots such as these, complete the following steps:
- Thread the tag end of the line through the eye of the hook, overlapping the lines by six to 12 inches.
- Leaving a small gap near the eye of the hook, wrap the tag end of the line around the standing line five times.
- Run the tag end of the line through the small gap in front of the hook eye.
- Thread the tag end of the line through the center of the second loop (the same loop you just created).
- Moisten the line.
- Holding the tag endwith one hand, pull the standing line with your opposite hand as the knot slides down to the eye of the hook.
- Trim any excess line at the tag end.

Serial PORT MATLAB – Getting Started
Serial port is a physical communication interface which transfer one bit at a time in contrast to parallel port. In the recent past, before USB serial port communication is the most famous communication medium for many computer peripherals such as mouse, keyboard, Etc. Still in many embedded development environments use serial port communication as data transmission interface.
When it comes to my field of interest, where developing embedded systems, mostly signal processing applications, I wanted to visualize and to do some tweaks to processed data to verify whether my application works properly or not. In this case normal serial port desktop applications does not allowed me to visualize what I needed except the application 'Serial Chart'. Therefore as usual I ended up with a MATLAB solution that is serial port communication with MATLAB. In this article I will share my experience in sending data and receiving data with interrupts in serial port with MATLAB.
