Tuesday, March 20, 2012 - Rado and Martin - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Martin Sedivec is a newcomer who we were keen to do a duo with, so we paired him with the ever reliable Rado Princ. We first see Martin, sitting on a swivel chair, and he starts to run his hands over his body. Rado appears and immediately takes hold of Martin and begins kissing him. He starts to undo Martin's shirt as they continue kissing. Gradually both guys shirts are open and, very quickly Rado's jeans are too, with his big cock out, and in Martin's hand. Martin wanks on that big, fat cock as he kisses Rado. Rado also has his hand in Martin's jeans, working on his cock. Martin stands, as Rado jeans come down more. He kisses on Rado's nipples as he works his way down to that big cock. Then he begins sucking on it, taking it in his mouth, and licking up and down the shaft. He really enjoys licking the balls and cock and sucking on the head. Rado pulls him up again and kisses him as he pushes Martin's jeans down to release his cock too. As they continue to kiss Rado takes both cocks in his hand and wanks them together. But he wants to taste cock too, so Martin lays on the chair and makes his dick available. Rado takes it in his mouth. It is rock hard and fat as Rado's mouth sucks on it. Rado then swings the chair so that Martin's head is positioned to suck him again. They switch back and forth a few times, each sucking the other in turn. Then Martin kneels on the chair and presents his ass for Rado to rim. His tongue finds that hot pucker hole and laps at it, getting it nice and wet. Then his fingers start to work. First one goes into that tight hole, followed by a second. The fingers fuck Martin's hole, loosening it nicely. Then it is ready for cock and Rado slides his deep inside. He fucks Martin, really stretching his hole. Martin is pushing his ass back to make sure he gets as much cock as he can. Rado then sits on the chair and Martin climbs over him and sits down on his throbbing cock. As he bounces up and down on Rado's cock his own his hard and waving in the air. Martin then sits on the chair, with Rado fuckng him real deep, holding one of Martin's legs up to make sure he can get all the way in that ass. Martin wanks himself hard and fast as his ass is taking that big dick. Soon he cant hold back and shoots his load while Rado is fucking him. Rado continues fucking that ass, building himself up to cum. He is soon ready and Martin lays thru the chair mouth open and catches Rado's cum as he shoots it. Then he sucks on Rado's cock again to clean him off. What a lovely scene with lots of kissing and very good sex, from two great looking guys.
Jan Koreny came in for a massage. He has a nice, slim build and looks very good. Firstly Jan strips off and gives us a full view of his body before he climbs onto the massage table. The masseur arrives and begins his work. He oils his hands and starts to massage Jan's back, working those hands all over the back and shoulders. He also does the arms before moving onto Jan's hairy legs. Working up and down the legs with his dexterous hands he then pays attention to Jan's ass. As he massages the ass his hands run over Jan's cock, which already seems quite hard. Jan moves up onto his knees and his swollen cock hangs down nicely. The masseur takes a vibrator and pushes it into Jan's tight hole, at the same time taking hold of that cock and wanking on it. The vibrator goes deep into Jan's ass as his cock is being wanked, stretching the hole very nicely. Jan then turns over and the masseur takes hold of his cock and wanks it again, until it is nice and hard. He continues with teh wanking and soon Jan shoots a very nice load for us. The masseur scoops up Jan's cum and rubs it all over the still swollen cock, then he leaves us with a full view of that nice, sticky cock. Jan was a very good sport, taking it all very well indeed, giving us a great show. I hope we can persuade him to go further.
Jozef Koranda is 18 years old and lives in Bystrice. He is currently unemployed and likes football and parties. He is a very handsome guy and starts off by opening his top, showing a very nice chest and a happy trail too. His hand begins to rub over his chest as he looks into the camera. Both hands get to work on his chest as he removes his top. He grabs his groin suggestively as he moves his rather hard body. Then he opens the jeans and pushes them down a bit. His cock flops into view, rock hard already, and surrounded by a full, dark bush. Taking a chain, that hangs next to him, he wraps it around his cock and begins to gently move in a fucking motion as he holds his cock. Jozef's cock stays rock hard as he moves, and caresses his body with his hands. He turns around to show us his ass, bending over slightly and pushing the ass back. That ass is very firm and rounded nicely. He spreads the cheeks to give us a better view as his hands spread the cheeks. Then Jozef sits and removes his shoes and and jeans, with his hands continuing to caress himself. His cock remains hard all the while and he takes it in hand, gently wanking it, as he is surrounded by lighted candles. As he wanks one hand caresses a nice firm nipple too. Then Alex pulls his legs up, to expose his ass hole. It is covered in that nice, dark hair and looks very inviting. He pushes his cock upwards and toward the camera so we can see it and his hole together. He gives another great view as he pulls his legs up further, almost over his head, with a knee on the floor, hole exposed and cock pushed between his legs. Jozef uses both hands to spread his cheeks to make sure we see that nice pink hole. Then he lays back down and starts to wank his cock to its climax. He delivers a very nice, creamy load for us and then moves to the shower to clean himself up. Jozef is a great looking guy who gave a very good show of himself in this shoot. I look foward to seeing more of him soon.
Alex Peleska is from Prague and is aged 20. He is a student who enjoys football and sports in his spare time. Alex looks very fit as he poses in his jeans and jacket, with no shirt. He is certainly a good looking guy and has a nice body too. Removing his jacket we get to see his chest more fully. Then he opens his jeans and pushes them down enough to show us his cock in a soft state. Soon he has it very hard, and we see that it has a slight bend to it. It is an impressive size too as he poses to show it off. Alex adopts various poses to ensure we get some great views of that hard cock. Then he removes the jeans and shows us his ass too. The cheeks are well spread showing us his ass crack and tight hole. Next he gets onto his knees for some more views of his ass, fully exposed, before more great views of his rock hard cock. All in all Alex looks very good indeed.
Jindra Stryk is aged 18 and lives in Kadan. He is a student who enjoys jogging, ice-hockey and motocross. Jindra is a very nice looking guy who starts his shoot in tee-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. He does look good and soon begins to reveal himself. The tee-shirt comes off and we see a very nice chest and then the shorts begin to drop. His large endowment comes into view, it looks great as it lays on his balls. It is long before that dick is growing and shows its full length and girth. As it stands to attention we see the pendulus balls in their full glory too. Next Jindra shows us his ass, and what a beauty it is too. He gets on his knees to give us a better view and even shoves a finger in that tight hole for us. He has certainly whetted my appetite for his erotic video.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Taco Bell Corp. announced a multiyear expansion of their marketing partnership that will continue Taco Bell's position as the league's Official Quick Service Restaurant Partner—a position it has held since 2009. This partnership will help Taco Bell and the NBA's fan bases connect with both through marquee league events and NBA-themed promotions in restaurants nationwide.
Taco Bell and the NBA are also expanding their partnership with the launch of a new digital and social program to showcase last-second game winning shots. Additional fan engagement for this program will be integrated at Taco Bell restaurants nationally and during the NBA Playoffs and Finals.
"The NBA has been an incredible teammate in helping us connect with basketball fans," says Taco Bell chief marketing officer, Chris Brandt. "When fans see amazing moments on the court, it definitely syncs with our Live Más attitude, and we're inspired to celebrate with them. Whether you were there in person or you're hearing about it via social or TV, we can showcase amazing athletic achievement for people in a relevant way and extend the fun and the conversation." To this, Brandt cited a recent Turnkey Sports & Entertainment poll from June 2013 that noted Taco Bell as the most recognized quick-service restaurant in each of the three annual NBA surveys since becoming an official partner in the 2009-10 season.
Taco Bell will be featured on NBA national game telecasts and have comprehensive television and online advertising exposure through NBA, WNBA, and NBA D-League media platforms.
At NBA All-Star, Taco Bell will continue to be the title partner of the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, a competition featuring the NBA's top guards. As part of the event, Taco Bell will work alongside NBA Cares to award members of the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens with college scholarships, with more than more than $200,000 in total scholarships having been awarded over the past four years. In addition, Taco Bell will be an associate partner of NBA All-Star Jam Session and will give fans special opportunities to sample select menu items on site.
"Taco Bell has been a tremendous partner over the last four years and together we have created some remarkable programs, bringing our shared young, multicultural audience closer to the game," says Emilio Collins, NBA senior vice president, global marketing partnerships. "Our fans have really embraced Taco Bell's Live Más theme, and our expanded partnership will utilize Taco Bell's more than 6,000 restaurants and their innovative social media approach to engage fans in multiple new ways."
Over the course of its partnership, the NBA and Taco Bell have introduced several basketball-centric promotions. In 2010, both the NBA Five Buck Box, which was featured in a national television campaign, and the Driving Better Choices program that focused on health and fitness, were introduced. The NBA and Taco Bell aimed to give fans a voice in 2011 when they provided the opportunity to determine the participants in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge as part of the Choose Your Squad program. This past season, the Taco Bell NBA BIG Box debuted during the 2013 NBA Conference Finals, featuring 42 players across six different NBA themed-boxes, along with custom NBA content accessed through QR codes.

Ionic – Mobile UI Framework for PhoneGap/Cordova Developers
Over the holidays I came across this nifty new open source framework called Ionic that I was intrigued by and wanted to share with others. Ionic is currently in alpha state, but it's definitely worth checking out. It was created by the guys who are responsible for some other successful projects including Jetstrap and Codiqa […]

In the course of deploying IT solutions, we occasionally need to take our technology out of the datacenter. This can be for a remote location which needs server and storage resources or for whatever reason is not located in the datacenter. In my work experience, I had to frequently deploy solutions in remote locations and away from the standard protections of the typical datacenter.
One thing that I observed is that these remote locations did not always have the best power for these servers and storage resources. The power may have been available, meaning that it did not go out frequently; but I frequently ran into situations where the running voltage was significantly higher or lower than the standard outputs associated with 120 or 230 Volt power. This meant that while the power was supposed to be 120 Volts, I remember environments where it would run at 136 or 140 Volts, which is much higher than the expected input. The unfortunate aspect of power that is out of normal range, especially when higher, is that dual input power supplies may not immediately reject the input source. Further, this situation is exasperated when electronic equipment can detect power anomalies. My experience was with PBX telephone equipment and barcode scanners that were having serious issues with power that was out of the normal voltage range.
When I had to deploy solutions to situations with power like this, I would implement a power line conditioning system to combat this situation. A power line conditioning system will take power from a very wide range of inputs and provide out a clean 120 or 230 Volt power source. Further, if a UPS battery would be in use, I would put that behind the line conditioning system to give the ultimate in power protection to solutions deployed outside of a traditional datacenter where these benefits are standard.
Power line conditioning can come in two main ways, one is via a standalone power line conditioner and the other is a UPS battery that provides line conditioning as well. I've used both in my experiences, preferring the separate devices. One example is the Tripp-Lite LCR2400; which is a rack-mount unit that would work with my requirements of having a solution contained in a rack.
Have you ever used power line conditioning as part of your deployment kit when IT needs to have a footprint outside of a datacenter? What strategies have you used for the ultimate power protection? Share your comments below.

Surviving band member leads police to bodies
Photo: AP
CORRECTS BYLINE TYPO TO VAZQUEZ.- An army soldier stands guard on a dirt road leading to a ranch near the town of Mina, in northern Mexico, Monday, Jan. 28, 2013. At least eight bodies were found in a well near this ranch on Sunday near the site where 20 people went missing late last week, including members of a Colombian-style band, according to a state forensic official. Officials could not confirm whether the bodies belonged to 16 members of the band Kombo Kolombia and their crew, who were reported missing late last week after playing a private show in a bar in the neighboring town of Hidalgo north of Monterrey.

I feel like I am the only one with a big toddler who has never, ever slept through the night. She is still awake every two hours. The only progress we have made is that if I don't nurse her, she only cries for a minute instead of possibly hours as she used too. I wish I had set more rules when she was little! I was very into this idea that I should breastfeed her whenever she wanted, but I wish I hadn't! All I hear all day is num num? num num? She is always reaching down my shirt and clawing at my breasts. I can't sit down without this happening! It's making my crazy! I love her, but I want to wean her so badly and I can't do it. I am so tired that I usually just let her nurse when she wants.
So, does anyone else have a toddler who wants to nurse all the time? All day and all night? She is not all that into regular food either. She hates all the things most babies like, like all cereals, bread products, pancakes, crackers, goldfish, yogurt, etc. All she likes is cheese, chicken, fruit and pasta. Won't touch any other milk.
I want her to sleep more than two hour stretches. i've tried all the books, exercising her more, getting her to eat, etc. no progress. Dont know what to do!

Get the Look: Classic Style Play Kitchen
When I saw this play kitchen in Sue & Graeme's Eclectic Victorian Townhouse it reminded me the one I had as a kid — a simple, classically styled set where I could get lost in a world of pretend cooking. I think I owe much of my love of all things nesting to that first pretend kitchen. Inspired by nostalgia, I found the source for this little kitchen and also rounded up a few others.
As a boy of five years old, the only item on my Christmas list was a play kitchen. If memory serves me correctly, there was a play kitchen in my kindergarten classroom and I always enjoyed playing in it but it was often overcrowded with girls ... and the boys would make fun of me for hanging out with the girls. The solution? Get a play kitchen of my own! Of course, little boys don't have money or the freedom to shop so I couldn't just go out and buy one. So I did what any boy would do and put it on my Christmas list. To make the point crystal clear to my parents, I made sure it was the only thing on my list.
I got my play kitchen that year - a simple, unisex sink/range/cabinet combo where I spent hours and hours playing house or whipping up dishes for my pretend diner, which I patterned after Mel's Diner from a popular TV show at the time, Alice. I'm sure that early pretend time was key to my becoming the home-design-blog-editing, DIYing man I am today.

The Chrysler 200 is powered by a choice of two modern engines. The base engine is a new 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that makes 184 hp. It promises to be both more fuel efficient and more powerful than the engine it replaces. The optional engine is a 3.6L V6 making 295 hp. Even though this engine is a carryover from the previous 200, it is more fuel efficient in the new 200, thanks largely to the standard 9-speed automatic transmission, available across all trims. When equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, the 200 is estimated to average around 35 mpg on the highway.
The Chrysler 200 comes in several different trim levels starting with the LX. The base LX trim comes standard with 17-inch wheels, power windows and door locks, keyless entry, steering-wheel mounted cruise and audio controls and 6-way adjustable front seats. The Limited trim adds automatic headlights, aluminum wheels, exterior chrome accents and a 6-speaker Uconnect stereo with Bluetooth integration.
The 200S and the 200C Platinum are the next two trim levels up. Both come standard with the 3.6L V6 engine and both are available with all-wheel-drive. The 200S comes with black trim accents around the headlamps and grill, making for a much more menacing front fascia. It also gets 18-inch wheels, power folding and heated mirrors, an 8-way power driver's seat, a leather wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, sports suspension, fog lamps and a year-long subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio. The top of the line 200C Platinum comes with chrome door handles, polished aluminum wheels, leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, a backup camera, a remote vehicle starter, dual zone automatic temperature control, touring suspension and an instrument cluster with 7-inch display.
Chrysler's engineers have taken safety very seriously with the new 200, and they claim that the car has over sixty safety features, more than anything else in its class. Standard features include stability control, anti-lock brakes, knee-bolster airbags for both driver and front passenger, side and side curtain airbags and speed sensitive power locks. Optional safety features include a backup camera, a rear cross traffic warning system, a forward collision warning system and a lane departure warning system.

Sanquhar post office 'closure threat' claims by MSP
An MSP has claimed changes proposed by the Royal Mail could see the closure of the oldest working post office in the world in southern Scotland.
The Sanquhar site celebrated its 300th anniversary last year.
SNP MSP Joan McAlpine said plans to move mail services from the office would make closure "inevitable".
Royal Mail spokeswoman Felicity MacFarlane said it had concerns about working conditions in the mail office which it was working to resolve.
South of Scotland MSP Ms McAlpine said that if the office was to close it would mean a post office in Stockholm would become the oldest working facility in the world.
She has written to the Royal Mail asking it to recognise Sanquhar's special status.
"Removing mail work from Sanquhar would result in a loss of a third of the post office income and mean closure was inevitable," she said.
"This would be a dreadful blow for Sanquhar, a beautiful and ancient Royal Burgh which has suffered in recent years from the scourge of unemployment.
"The post office is an important facility for the townspeople and a source of employment, as well as a tourist attraction bringing welcome visitors."
Ms MacFarlane said Royal Mail intended to tackle concerns about the suitability of the site.
"Royal Mail has concerns about the working conditions for our four members of staff working in the mail office at Sanquhar Post Office branch," she said.
"We are working closely with Post Office Limited to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
"In the meantime, Royal Mail services at Sanquhar Post Office branch will continue as normal."

Central Connecticut track and field sophomore Brian Biekert was tabbed as the Northeast Conference Track Athlete of the Week, the league announced Tuesday. Biekert earned the honor with his performance in the one mile run at the University of Albany Great Dane Classic in New York, NY on Friday.
Biekert took third in the event, crossing the finish line in 4:12.54, shattering his previous collegiate personal best of 4:24.00. With his time, Biekert added his name to the list of NEC student-athletes to qualify for IC4A competition in March. He also took the NEC lead in the event and came in less than a second over the standing CCSU record set in 1987.
This is the first time in his career that the Groton, CT native has earned NEC Athlete of the Week honors. The Blue Devils have boasted two 2013 NEC Track Athletes of the Week in two out of three weeks. Biekert joins fellow Blue Devil Aaron Radden on the 2013 Indoor Track and Field list.
Biekert and the Blue Devils will return to action this Friday, January 25, at the Boston University Terrier Invitational in Boston, MA.

"Thank you in advance for helping our students participate in an active and positive role in their community!" said Wendy Herman, HRVHS CWD coordinator.
Hood River Valley High School's 16th annual Community Work Day is scheduled to take place on Monday, April 15, and organizers are seeking support to help make it a success.
For those who aren't familiar with CWD, students from the high school find a business or individual to sponsor them for a day.
The student gives their time to do work for the business or individual. In exchange, the sponsor pays the student and the money received is given to nonprofit organizations that have been selected by student representatives.
Profits from this year's event will be divided equally and given to the FISH Food Bank Building Project, Heart of Hospice Foundation, Helping Hands Against Violence and St. Francis House.
"Last year, we ran the event on a Saturday," said Herman. Turnout of students wasn't as high as prior years when the event was held on a school day. This year's event returns to the school day format, ensuring greater student participation.
The money raised through the event was not adequate to fund the applying nonprofit organizations' initiatives. For that reason, the nonprofits selected last year will be the recipients this year.
According to Herman, payments are processed as follows: Students work a maximum of five hours, the sponsor pays a flat fee of $45 (checks are preferred and payable to HRVHS/CWD) for the five hours worked; payment should be given to the student after they have worked. Students are to turn in their payment to the Summit Career Center located at the high school.
If a sponsor would rather mail their payment to the high school, the address is: HRVHS/CWD, 1220 Indian Creek Road, Hood River, OR 97031.
Payments should be mailed as soon as possible with the student(s) name(s) written in the memo part of the check. Invoice and statements are not sent from the high school but a copy of the contract can be faxed.
If you would like to sponsor a student (or students) or have questions, contact Herman in the Summit Career Center at 541-387-5034, ext. 1, or wendy.herman@hood

"Organic Au Naturelle" Cinched Drawstring kaftan in Cream Mustard Leafy Pattern
Note From Designer: I have been making kaftans for a long time and they are my absolute favorite as they are so so so comfortable. So far, I had only used cotton and silk to make them but for a long time, I had been thinking of making them using Organic Cotton and Silks.So here comes this lovely, sustainable kaftan made of 100% certified Organic Cotton for the eco-conscious woman. I have made sure that the reliance on naturally occurring and organic material extends to the cloth-printing as well. I have opted for completely natural traditional hand block printing process using herbal dyes. Did you know that hand-block dyeing does not always mean it is organic? The dyes used can very well be made of artificial chemicals. So for the fabrics sourced for this kaftan I have made sure the dyes are indeed chemical-free and derived from naturally occurring material like herbs, barks, roots, special flowers, etcAnother nice vignette about my organic kaftans is - which a keen shopped would have probably noticed - is that every pattern in organic kaftans is unique, complete with its unique colors. You will not find same pattern in different colors across all the organic kaftans here!!.
Style: Simple V-neckline Cinched Waistline Drawstring Kaftan.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today announced that the City of Lincoln and SMG have reached an agreement for the operation of the new Pinnacle Bank Arena. SMG currently manages and operates Pershing Center in Lincoln.
"This new agreement goes beyond just the operation of the new arena," said Mayor Beutler. "We have tapped into the entertainment programming expertise of Tom Lorenz and SMG and have added some additional City venues in this contract for SMG to manage for us."
In addition to events at the Pinewood Bowl in Pioneers Park, SMG will manage and program the festival space located northwest of the new arena.
At a news conference to announce the deal, Mayor Beutler thanked Tom Lorenz, General Manager of the Pershing Center, for the valuable assistance he and SMG provided the City during the early stages of the process. "Their input and insight into the design and operational issues was invaluable," said Beutler. "You certainly want to make sure the elephants fit through the doors."
SMG will be responsible for booking, operations, maintenance, food service, recycling, promotion, website, ticketing and some of the parking.
"SMG is honored to be chosen to manage Lincoln's premier entertainment venue," said Lorenz. "We are confident that SMG's leadership position in the facility management industry and our local staff's excellent relationship with City and University staff will result in a successful and well operated arena that will be a source of pride for Lincoln and southeast Nebraska."

Venice: A Travelogue
My brother just got back from a trip to Venice, with terrific photos to share. I haven't been there in years, so let's call this a travelogue by proxy.
Looking at these pictures, it all came flooding back to me like an old memory: the seawater smells, the colors and textures, the tiny streets and dark alleys — it was all so old and mysterious I didn't know what crime to commit first.
When I write about color in southern Europe, it's about color that's vivid and sensual, but still Old World and slightly muted. Those Riviera pastels aren't Barbie Doll pink, they're more like washed out browns and red ochres, with hints of sorbet.
The colors of Venice are much the same as the French and Italian Rivera, but with the influences of a Roman palette and Moorish architecture. And I'll say this one more time — I would absolutely prefer my walls to look like these, ancient and crumbling with layers of accretion, than the Park Avenue porcelain look that says look but don't touch.

David Beckham's role in the Olympic opening ceremonies were shrouded in secrecy, but few could have guessed the part that the LA Galaxy midfielder would play in Friday's festivities in London.
In a move seemingly out of a James Bond film, Beckham piloted a speed boat down the River Thames carrying the Olympic torch which was held by a young British basketball player Amber Charles. Beckham and Charles then passed off the torch to Sir Steven Redgrave, who carried the flame into the Olympic Stadium ahead of the lighting ceremony.
It remains to be seen if Beckham will participate in Saturday's match against FC Dallas as head coach Bruce Arena told reporters on Thursday that his status "hadn't been finalized."

Ed Koch
Photo: A2012
FILE - In this Dec. 10, 2012 file photo, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch says good-bye to reporters as he gets in his car after being released from the hospital in New York. A spokesman says Koch now expects to get out of the hospital on Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013. Spokesman George Arzt said Friday that Koch originally expected to remain over the weekend at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia hospital. But doctors changed their minds and decided to let him out Saturday instead. He was admitted last Saturday night with fluid in his lungs and swollen ankles. Doctors have told the 88-year-old ex-mayor to limit his salt intake. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, file)

The following is quoted from a "fact sheet" I picked up on my last visit to Springfield Armory National Historic Site:
The so-called "Tanker" owes its existence to the long-standing dissatisfaction with the range, lethality and foliage penetration ("brush cutting") capabilities of the M1 carbine. A few statistics explain why this is true: the bullet used in the .30-06 M1 (Garand) rifle weighs 150 grains; fired with a velocity of 2740 feet per second (fps), it develops 2170 foot-pounds of energy at 100 yards. By comparison, the bullet fired by the M1 carbine weighs 110 grains; at a muzzle velocity of 1900 fps, it produces only 600 foot-pounds of energy at the same distance -- not much more than a quarter of the Garand. Thus, the temptation to substitute the greater fire-power of the M1 rifle is understandable, although reducing the barrel to carbine length would sacrifice some of the gain in power.
The Ordnance Department was basically unsympathetic to these field complaints, maintaining that the carbine and rifle were intended to serve separate and distinct purposes. In 1945, with fighting raging in the dense jungles of the Western Pacific, where "brush-cutting' ability was important, the Pacific Warfare Board took matters into its own hands. It ordered an ordnance unit of the 6th Army in the Phillipines to make up 150 shortened M1 rifles for testing. These rifles were cut to carbine length, making them short enough to carry comfortably in the jungle or to fit into a tank. This, apparently, is the origin of the term "tanker" Garand, which was never officially adopted and is somewhat puzzling in that tank warfare did not figure prominently in the Pacific Theater.
Col. William Alexander, head of the Pacific Warfare Board, obviously thought the "short M1" was the answer, for he requested the Ordnance Dept. to make up 15,000 short rifles. To facilitate design of the new weapon, he sent one of their rifles by special courier to the Ordnance Dept.
When the "short rifle" arrived at Springfield Armory, engineers recognized immediately that they had done the same thing a year before when they had developed the M1E5. The only difference was that the E5 had a folding wire stock and was intended primarily for paratroops. All they had to do was to pop off the trigger housing, remove the folding stock, and install the action on a standard M1 stock. However, since the receiver of the earlier experiment was marked M1E5, the model shop took a new M1 receiver and built it from ground up with modified parts. This rifle, along with the rifle from the Pacific Warfare Board, was shipped to Aberdeen Proving Grounds for tests. By now the "short rifles" had been designated T26.
The results of the testing showed that the weapon suffered from lack of reliable function, excessive recoil and excessive muzzle blast. Functional problems were traced to: (1) the rework needed to produce a shorter operating rod changed force angles, causing the rod to bind occasionally; (2) the shorter spring length caused premature spring failure rates; (3) the pressure port was closer to the chamber and permitted increased volumes of unburned powder resideue to foul the gas system. Increased recoil was expected, but muzzle blast was, to say the least, spectacular. When fired with standard military ball ammuntion, the muzzle flash and dust signature was unacceptable. (Flash hiders and muzzle brakes weren't being used then.)
Because Germany had already surrendered and victory in the Pacific was close at hand, and because test results were unsatisfactory, it was decided to cancel all orders before any T26 rifles were actually produced. The only T26 made at Springfield Armory was damaged during testing and possibly salvaged for parts. The Pacific War Board prototype was returned to Springfield and placed in the museum. This is the weapon that appears in standard published photos. In reality, there were only 151 "Tanker" Garands made. Few of these probably survived. some may have gone home in soldiers' duffel bags, but most would have been stripped and rebuilt to normal configuration in the years following World War II.
Identification of a legitimate "Tanker" is difficult. All specimens would have been built from rifles in used condition; therefore, the serial number range would reflect that. Numbers would probably be lower than 3,500,000 and could not be above 3,800,000. The barrel date, of course, would be no later than early 1945. Also, the reciever is marked as a normal M1 and would be of either Springfield Armory or Winchester manufacture. Judging by the specimen in the Springfield Armory Museum, workmanship was marginal. The barrel splines look like they were hand filed and much freehand saw and file work shows up.
Despite the insigificant numbers of "Tanker" Garand actually made by the Army and their complete lack of success, their popularity grew. By the 1960s, when Garands became readily available through government surplus channels, a number of enterprising individuals began providing customizing services for M1 owners. One of the more popular services was, predictably, making "Tanker" versions. In those days a nice M1 could be obtained for $79.95, so a $40 "chop job" was not considered to be an offense against a collector's piece.

Good post, Gary.
Permit me to add one more note. In the 60's, only a few M1 rifles were available, mainly those military aid rifles brought back from England, and some from DCM sales. The Army scrapped a bunch of receivers by cutting them in half with diamond saws and selling the pieces. Several enterprising companies bought the pieces and welded them together. No attempt was made to match pieces, so an SA rear could be welded to a Winchester front. (See http://www.fulton-armory.com for more info.)
Many regular rifles were made up this way, but the so-called "rewelds" were a favorite with builders of "tanker Garands". The real hooker is that the M1 was still in war reserve and those receivers were scrapped for a reason - they were worn out or defective in some way. This, to me, provides another good reason to avoid "tanker Garands".

Maybe I ought to get a full-length one instead. However, I have lucked out into a very nice functional Shortie in 30-06 and it has become my fav fighting gun lately, ahead of the AR, AK and FAL. Wanted to duplicate it in a more common caliber.

With Barnes & Noble having released the prices for all their 2012 LEGO sets, does this mean that there will definately not be another wave of Kingdoms sets even at the end of 2012? (I'm assuming this is ok to talk about since it's not rumours)
If so, what will Castle fans be spending their money on (or perhaps a chance to catch some of the current line on sale)?
- Andy
(I toyed with the idea of putting the title as "No Kingdoms (for old men) in 2012" but didn't now how many would get the reference ).
EDIT: Apologies, it seems I was a bit hasty in assuming this was a list of ALL their sets, rather than just the first wave... man that's a whole lotta LEGO...

Eldarica PinePinus eldarica
This is a great desert pine that tolerates heat, wind and drought conditions. It has strong branches and soft needles with an open and airy canopy compared to similar trees. This tree gives off a mild, fresh fragrance and is a great choice for people looking to grow Christmas trees on marginal soils in tough climates. Eldarica pines also make good windbreaks in tough areas.

With activities for children in preschool through age 5
Science in the Community Activities
Our communities offer many opportunities and resources to help children learn science, including
To find out more about resources in your community: Check your local newspaper, a local guidebook or your telephone directory. Or, go online and search the Internet. (The Resources section has more information about science-related Web sites for children.) Other good sources of information and ideas might be your child's teacher, the school librarian or the children's librarian at your local public library. Before you pay a visit to a museum, planetarium, or the like, be sure to check the hours it's open and what costif anyis involved. Note that some places may charge entrance fees at certain times and grant free admission at other times.
Zoos are great places for you to encourage your child's interest in the natural world and to introduce him to exotic animals that he might not otherwise ever see. Here are a few suggestions to help make your visit to a zoo worthwhile:
Discuss expectations with your child. What does he think he'll find at the zoo? A very young or insecure child may go to the zoo with a more positive attitude if you assure him that it has food stands, water fountains and bathrooms.
Don't try to see everything in one visit. Zoos are such busy places that they can overwhelm children, particularly preschoolers and kindergarteners.
Try to visit zoos at off hours or times of the year (very early on a Saturday morning, for example, or in winter). Choosing less crowded times to visit will allow your child unobstructed views of the animals, as well as a more leisurely tour of the exhibits.
Look for special programs that are set up just for children, such as petting zoos, exploring local habitats and getting involved with conservation projects. Such programs provide children with hands-on opportunities that are otherwise prohibited by most zoos and allow families to learn about wildlife by getting involved in conservation efforts and exploring local habitats together.
As you tour the zoo, keep your child interested and focused. Try the following activities:
Play a guessing game. Guessing games can help your child understand form and function. You might, for example, ask questions such as the following:
- Why do you think seals have flippers? (Seals use flippers to swim through the water.)
- Why do you think these gibbons have such long, strong arms? (Their arms help them swing through the trees.)
- Why does that armadillo have a head that looks like it's covered with armor? Why is its body covered with those bony plates? (The armor and the bony plates protect it from other animals that want to eat or kill it.)
- Why is that snake the same brown color as the ground? (As snakes evolved, the brown ones didn't get eaten as quickly.)
Match the animals. Children can learn about organization by seeing related animals. Have them compare the sizes, leg shapes, feet, ears, claws, feathers or scales of various creatures. Ask them, "Does the lion look like a regular cat?" "How are they the same?" "Does the gorilla look like the baboon?" (Caution: Take time to read any signs that provide descriptions and classifications of animals and use this information in your discussions. Dolphins, for example, are not fish; they're mammals. Asking children to compare a dolphin to a shark might reinforce children's wrong ideas.)
As your child gets older, he will understand more complex answers to these questions.
After the visit, have your child do follow-up activities and projects. A child who particularly liked the flamingos and ducks may enjoy building a birdhouse for the back yard. One who liked the mud turtle may enjoy using a margarine tub as a base for making a papier-mâché turtle.
In museums, both you and your child can have fun and learn science together. Science and technology museums, natural history museums and children's museums can be found in many middle-sized and smaller communities, as well as in large cities.
Museums vary in quality. If possible, try to find museums that have special areas, exhibits and "hands-on" programs just for children. In these programs, children are often able to use scientific equipment that is far too expensive or specialized for their schools to own. Look for museums that have:
- Levers to pull;
- Lights to switch on;
- Buttons to push;
- Animals to stroke; and
- Experiments to do.
Many museums offer special science classes. Look for IMAX theaters. These enable visitors to see giant-screen movies on subjects ranging from space launches to exploring the Antarctic.
Many of the tips for visiting the zoo are also helpful when you visit museums. For example, don't try to cover too much on one visit, and do try visiting at off hours when the crowds won't seem overwhelming.
Planetariums have wonderful exhibits and activities for youngsters. There are over 1,000 planetariums in the United States, ranging from small ones that hold about 20 people to giant facilities with hundreds of seats. These facilities are particularly useful for children who live in urban areas, where city lights and air pollution obstruct the view of the sky.
Inside a planetarium, your child may be able to:
- Use a telescope to view the rings of Saturn;
- See details of the "sky" from inside the planetarium's dome; and
- Step on scales to learn what she would weigh on the moon or on Mars.
Aquariums enable youngsters to see all kinds of marine life, from starfish to sharks to electric eels, and to learn about their special habitats.
Your child may particularly enjoy feeding times. Before visiting an aquarium, call ahead to find out when the penguins, sharks and other creatures get to eat. Also check for special shows that feature sea lions and dolphins.
A visit to a farm can be a wonderful trip for you and your child. If you don't know a farmer, ask for a referral from your county extension office, farm bureau or local agriculture office.
If you visit a dairy farm, encourage your child to ask questions about the cows and their care. What do they eat? Do they sleep? Where is their food kept? What happens to the milk when it leaves the farm? How does it get to the grocery store? Many dairy farmers will let your child try her hand at milking a cow; others will explain how the equipment is used and the way milk makes its way from the farm to the grocery shelf.
If you visit a farm that grows crops, encourage your child to look at the crops and ask questions about what she sees. What crops are grown? How are they planted? How are they harvested? What are they used for? How do they get to the grocery store? If your child grew up in a city, she may have no idea what corn, soybeans, potatoes or pumpkins look like as they grow in a field. Caution: Don't let your child eat vegetables of fruit unless they have been carefully washedand the farmer has given permission!
On any kind of farm, farmers use special machines such as tractors, harvesters, balers and so forth. Encourage your child to ask about any machines that she sees, including what they're used for and how they work.
Science at Work
Your child may recognize that many people use science to do their jobschemists, doctors, science teachers, computer technicians and engineers, for example. However, she may not realize that many other jobs also require science skills.
To show your child how important science is for many jobs, try to arrange for her to spend part of a dayor even an hourwith a park ranger, pharmacist, veterinarian, electrician, plumber, dry cleaner, cook, mechanic, architect, mason or anyone else whose job involves some kind of science.
Before any visit, encourage your child to read about the job so she'll be able to ask good questions. For example, she might ask a dry cleaner questions such as the following:
- What chemicals do you use to clean clothes?
- How are stains removed?
- What happens to the chemicals after you use them?
Community Science Groups and Organizations
Many communities have groups and organizations that include science programs as part of their services for children. Some may sponsor local summer science campsfocusing on areas that range from computers and technology to natural science to space. Check out, for example:
- the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, or similar groups;
- YMCAs and YWCAs;
- 4-H groups;
- Audubon; or
- local colleges and universities.
Other Community Resources
Botanical gardens, weather stations, hospital laboratories, sewage treatment plants, newspaper plants, recycling centers, and radio and television stations are only a few of the kinds of places in your community where your child can learn more about all kinds of science. Try the following:
Arrange a tour of a recycling center or landfill to show your child what happens to the community's trash. Before the visit, ask him to think about questions such as the following:
- Where does the trash go when it leaves our home?
- What happens to it?
- How much trash does our community produce each year?
- What kinds of materials are recycled?
- What kinds of things can't be recycled?
As you tour the facility, have your child ask the questions; then compare his earlier thoughts to what he has learned.
Contact your local water department or sewage treatment center to arrange a tour of its facilities. Before the visit, ask your child to think about where the water comes from that he drinks and where it goes when it has been used. Is anything added to the water to make it safe to drink? Does all the water used in the community come from the same place? Does all the sewage in the community go to the same place? What happens to the sewage? Again, have him compare his earlier answers to what he learns on the tour.
Finally don't overlook your local public library as a rich resource for books and magazines on science; videos and DVDs; free Internet access; special programssuch as book talksthat relate to science; and much more.

Environmental studies is the interdisciplinary investigation of human relations with the natural world. The program pursues a multifaceted examination—across the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional studies—of the interdependence shared by people and nature. It provides an understanding of the material world as well as the ecological, social, and cultural processes and problems that bind that world together. Through the study of politics, biology, literature, chemistry, social work, economics, and history, environmental studies students focus on the most pressing local, regional, national, and global issues of our day.
Augsburg University's location in the city offers a particular opportunity for the close study of complex urban environments. Although many equate environmental issues with rural areas, most people live in cities. Urban residents shape nature in innumerable ways, including through energy, food, and water consumption, transportation, and industrial production. In turn, cities often serve as the settings in which environmental injustice flourishes. With that in mind, Augsburg's environmental studies program fosters the simultaneous study of ecological quality and social justice.
The program provides undergraduate training leading to a B.A. or a minor in Environmental Studies. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to comprehend ecological processes, recognize the many and varied forms of nature in the city, distinguish stakeholders' interests in policy debates, decipher the context and variety of human experiences in nature, identify inequities in the access to and use of natural resources, and articulate responses grounded in multiple disciplinary insights to current urban environmental challenges. Drawing on their experiences in settings as diverse as the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, the upper Mississippi River Valley, and Mexico, graduates of the program pursue vocations in non-profit organizations, government policy and planning positions, law, education, ministry, and corporate settings.

TCAdvance Scholarship Program Entered Evaluation Year in 2013
The TCAdvance Scholarship Program was established in 2007 to support American students of Turkish and Turkic heritage who pursue a career in public and international affairs, law, communications, and public relations. Over the course of the program, 70 Turkish American students were awarded the TCAdvance scholarship.
In 2013, the TCAdvance Scholarship Program for Turkish Americans underwent a comprehensive performance evaluation to asses the course of the program.
As TCA continues to honor its commitment to cultivate the next generation of Turkish American leaders and future decision-makers, we felt it was important to take this time to reflect on our past efforts to design a more robust program that is better suited to meet the community's needs while fulfilling TCA's expectations. Students who were eligible for continuing their scholarships were contacted by TCA directly about scholarship renewals for the 2013-2014 academic year. TCA, however, did NOT accept any new applications in 2013 or 2014.
TCAdvance-Robert C. Byrd Scholarship Renewed for 2014-2015 Academic Year
TCA is pleased to announce that Zelda Elcin's TCAdvance-Robert C. Byrd Scholarship has been renewed for the 2014-2015 academic year. Zelda was chosen as a result of her very strong academic record, her demonstrated commitment to TCA initiatives and the Turkish American community, and the leadership roles she has taken while serving as a TCAdvance Scholar over the previous two years. Since 2013, the TCAdvance Program for young Turkish Americans has undergone a comprehensive performance evaluation.

Annual D.E. Filter Cleaning & Inspection
Autumn is here, and this weekend will note the first day of fall. Time for the annual chore of cleaning and inspecting your D.E. pool filter. If you are a snowbelter, and are winterizing your pool, cleaning and inspecting your diatomaceous earth filter grid assembly is part of any well-done pool closing.
For those that use their pools nearly year round, this important filter maintenance can often be forgotten. Some DE filter grids may need the cleaning more than annually, if undersized or in high demand situations. If your filter cycles (time b/t backwashes) have diminished, that's always a good sign to remove the filter grids for a manual cleaning.
Backwashing never gets everything out, maybe 60-80%. Over time, excess DE powder can build up, and bridge the filter grids, creating areas of poor filtration.
D.E. pool filter grids don't really do the filtering of your pool water - they are the sieve on the other side of your DE filter powder that strains the filtered water, collecting it and directing it to the manifold, where it exits the filter tank.
They are (Filter Grids) however, a very important part of the system, and have two main jobs: 1. Allow water to flow through, and 2. Dis-Allow DE powder from flowing through.
At least once per year, it's important to:
If you are have noticed your starting pressure slowly rising over time, or if you are backwashing more often now than you used to, soaking the grids in a solution of Filter Clean will restore them to like-new performance. DE grid fabric can get clogged over time with oils and minerals, which hose spray won't remove.
To use Filter Clean, after hosing the grid assembly very clean, attach the spray top to the bottle and spray your grids with the combination grease cutter and mineral dissolver. The chemical works quickly. Rinse again thoroughly and then you can replace the grid assembly in the tank for winter storage. I prefer this type of spray on DE filter cleaner to the type of chemical that requires a soak the grids in overnight.
To Inspect your DE filter grid assembly, look for:
An annual inspection and cleaning should keep your DE filter running in tip-top shape. But don't wait if your filter starts acting funny - you can do this anytime!

SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) -- Tina Maze became the first Slovenian skier to win a world championship gold medal in a speed event, taking the opening women's super-G Tuesday in a race overshadowed by a crash involving Lindsey Vonn that will sideline her for the season.
Vonn tore ligaments in her right knee and broke a bone in her lower leg when she lost balance while landing after a jump. She was taken to a hospital by helicopter.
Maze attacked all the way, winning in 1 minute, 35.39 seconds and beating Lara Gut of Switzerland by 0.38. Julia Mancuso of the U.S. was third, 0.52 behind.
"The gold medal means a lot to me," said Maze, who is having a standout season in the World Cup and is quickly closing in on the overall title. "I had a great run. Slovenia is a small country and has so many great athletes. That makes me really happy."
The race had been delayed by 3 1/2 hours because of thick fog and was called off after 36 racers because new clouds of fog were moving in. The results stand, with the top-30 racers having started their run.
"I was prepared for a long day," said Maze, who now has four world championship medals. "World championships are special, you have to stay focused. I knew we would race today despite all the delays."
Days of snow and rain softened the course, especially in the lower part. The evening before the race, Atle Skaardal, the women's race director for the international federation, called it an "extreme situation." The fog further complicated matters.
The clouds caused poor visibility in the middle section, the steepest part of the 1.4-mile Streicher course where skiers race at up to 62 mph.
Organizers repeatedly delayed the start. Clouds finally moved after three hours. Despite light snowfall and rain setting in, the race began.
Several racers struggled with the changing conditions, with favorites like Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany and Anna Fenninger of Austria missing gates and failing to finish, and Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany coming 0.94 off the leading time in eighth.
"It was OK," Maze replied when asked whether the race should have been started. "World championship races often have special conditions. The mistakes from the girls were not because of the slope."
Mancuso wasn't fully satisfied with the run that earned her a fifth world championship medal, two years after winning silver in super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
"It's always really nice to win a medal but of course I know I could have a better run," the American said. "It was not a perfect run. My brain shut off halfway down the course so that's why I had some mistakes but I knew I was going fast. This was the kind of course on which you have to be on the limit."
Mancuso said it was "really hard" to race after Vonn, who started three racers earlier.
"I didn't see it on TV," said Mancuso, who was in the start gate preparing for her run when the crash happened.
Vonn fell after a long jump, her ski came off immediately, and she slid off course and hit a gate before coming to a halt. The four-time overall World Cup champion received medical treatment on the slope for 12 minutes before being taken to the hospital. She left for the team hotel later Tuesday.
Vonn trailed Maze by 0.12 seconds shortly before the crash. The race continued after another 15-minute delay.
Gut had two mistakes in the turning middle part that slowed her but attacked the bottom part for a strong finish to earn her third world championship medal - all in silver. She took second in downhill and super-combined at the 2009 event in Val d'Isere, France, where she became the youngest Swiss skier to medal at 18.
"It's fantastic to come second," Gut said. "My run was poor, I was too late at many turns and was surprised with my time."
After eight starters, the race was interrupted for 15 minutes following a crash by a course worker, who was removed by helicopter. He was brought to the hospital with a broken nose.
The men's super-G is scheduled for Wednesday and could also be affected by the weather, with overnight snowfall forecast.

Penn State won the Big Ten title in 2016, but the Nittany Lions didn't score many recruiting points during the 2017 NFL Draft. They had just one player selected. And so did other traditionally stout football schools named Texas and Nebraska.
The NFL Draft is fast approaching, which raises an interesting question: Is this the year the Titans finally shop locally and target Southeastern Conference talent?
If history is any indicator, the answer: No.
Second in a series of profiles on the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis' GiVE 365 grantees.
The community garden/urban farming concept literally took root years ago. Knowledge Quest founder and director Marlon Foster remembers well the 25-by-25-foot plot at the Fowler Homes housing project back in 1999. It was a humble beginning planted with a few seeds and a lot of faith and hope.
The vacant homes and lots on Jennette Place near Walker Avenue and Mississippi Boulevard in South Memphis began germinating like an urban form of kudzu. They appeared like an invasive species in this proud neighborhood, spreading quickly, choking the life from viable properties and growing into a scourge that at one point seemed impossible to eradicate.
Last week, we spotlighted the Kemmons Wilson Family Center for Good Grief, which is the first comprehensive bereavement center for children, adolescents and adults in the region. This week we will explore an organization working to "vigorously equip youth to maximize their potential through intellectual and character development": Knowledge Quest.

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) – Eighteen races over 15 event weekends highlight the 2014 IndyCar Series schedule announced today.
The schedule includes a new event, the Grand Prix of Indianapolis, on a 2.343-mile, 14-turn road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 10, in addition to the return of doubleheaders at Detroit, Houston and Toronto.
The most diverse schedule in motorsports includes events on technically challenging road and street courses, short ovals and superspeedways that is sure to deliver another exciting year of competition. Race distances, times and network television schedules will be announced at a later date.
"The World's Fastest Spring Break Party," on the 1.8-mile St. Petersburg (Fla.) street circuit kicks off the season for the fourth year in a row on Sunday, March 30. Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., will host the season finale Saturday, Aug. 30, for the third consecutive year.
"The 2014 schedule reflects a more condensed North American calendar to increase the consistency with our race weekends," said Mark Miles, CEO, Hulman & Co., the parent of INDYCAR. "We'll be building momentum throughout the season toward crowning our champion on Labour Day weekend."
Miles added that the street course race in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which has been contested the past four years, may return in 2014 but is not part of the schedule now.
Jump-starting the Month of May activities at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis on Saturday, May 10, on a reconfigured road course currently undergoing $5 million in improvements that will utilize portions of the famous 2.5-mile oval. The Speedway will be open Sunday, May 11, for Indianapolis 500 practice.
The 98th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race is scheduled for Sunday, May 25. Qualifying weekend is scheduled for Saturday, May 17 and Sunday, May 18.
"We're excited about the new month of May at IMS and our first Grand Prix of Indianapolis," Miles said. "Many people want to see more of our racing, and we're putting some of it on our most iconic stage and building toward the '500.' We want to use the strength of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the '500' to leverage value for the IndyCar Series and vice versa."
Full-points doubleheader races on the Belle Isle, Houston and Toronto street courses return for a second year after producing scintillating action and championship-defining results. The event on the 1.634-mile, 10-turn temporary circuit at Reliant Park in Houston moves from early October to late June, which bundles the doubleheaders into a two-month span.
The annual night race at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday, June 7, separates the Detroit and Houston dates. The second IndyCar Series race at the 2.5-mile Pocono Raceway on Sunday, July 6, followed by a night race at the .875-mile Iowa Speedway on Saturday, July 12, bisect Houston and the doubleheader on the Exhibition Place circuit in Toronto. The span represents racing on four consecutive weekends.
Additionally, the Milwaukee race has been moved from mid-June to Sunday, Aug. 17, while the fifth annual race at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala., has taken a date two weeks later to Saturday, April 26.
Four road and street course races will start the season, while the drive to the championship in August includes road course races at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Sonoma Raceway, the race on the 1-mile Milwaukee oval and the closing race on the 2-mile Auto Club Speedway oval.
"With the most diverse calendar in all of motorsports, we want the build-up to the championship to reflect our versatility by featuring a short oval, a road course and superspeedway in the final three consecutive weekends of our schedule to highlight the talent of our drivers," said Miles.
Exciting racing, drama, a close driver championship and engine manufacturer competition has marked the 2013 season heading into the 500-mile finale Saturday, Oct. 19. There have been 10 different winners, including four for the first time, and Chevrolet and Honda are tied in points in their season-long duel to display superiority. Both have nine victories.
Meanwhile, Scott Dixon of Target Chip Ganassi Racing will seek his third series title in the twilight race at Auto Club Speedway. Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves, who enters the 250-lap race 25 points behind, aims to derail Dixon's celebration and pick up his first series championship.

Nestled in the woodsy Cap St. Jacques nature park, alongside Rivières des Prairies, an 1816 stone farmhouse on three acres of land is up for sale.
But this unusual piece of Montreal real estate is hardly rustic. While it has maintained its historic character, the main home was thoughtfully renovated about 15 years ago. It's now a large and luxurious homestead.
"The minute the real estate agent faxed us the description of this place, I took the fax and said: 'This is where we're going,' " Mary Charbonneau said. She and her husband, Gilles, had been looking for a country home that was close enough to downtown to commute, and that could also accommodate three teenage children. That was in 1998.
Within months, Mary was sanding pinewood frames that now surround nine large column windows in the sunlit family room - just one of the rooms the Charbonneaus had added to more than double the farmhouse's original floor space. While Mary paid close attention to these kinds of details, like finding quality brass doorknobs, Gilles focused on big picture design changes. Meanwhile, the couple lived in the adjacent guest house - a converted barn with two bedrooms, which also holds a double garage.
"A big challenge was to try to not have it too modern," Mary explained of the farmhouse renovations. The old wooden walls, floors and ceilings on the main floor of the original structure were kept, and the decor within is now romantic and nostalgic. It's lit with lamps, and features antique wooden furniture and oriental carpets.
Mary also sanded, stained and varnished custom-made pine cupboards in the new kitchen. This large space features a gas range, an island with a double-sink and a casual dining area that overlooks a garden.
Two steps down from the kitchen is a 900-square-foot solarium with high ceilings, heated flooring and various seating areas. It looks out to an in-ground pool, and beyond that, the river.
In the kitchen and solarium, what were once exterior stone walls of the original farmhouse now show as interior walls.
"It's so brilliant the way they've done the extension," Sotheby's agent Penelope Vilagos said.
"You have the character of the exterior walls, and then you have the brightness. And the different spaces are so complementary; it's very well done."
Later, standing outside the home, Vilagos points out the exterior stonework of the family room extension and how it matches the original masonry of the farmhouse.
The Charbonneaus say they've valued the privacy the property has afforded them. "Our closest neighbour is 700 metres away," Gilles says. A Jacuzzi hot tub is tucked between the pool and the river's edge. The expansive riverscape includes a view of an undeveloped section of Île-Bizard, and further in the distance, waterfront houses along Gouin Blvd.
The in-ground swimming pool has a curvy, irregular shape - designed to echo the meandering shoreline. Its deepest point is eight feet and surrounding it is a unistone patio. An awning extending from the solarium can be summoned at the push of a button.
Mature, well-cared-for trees on the property include apple, willow and poplar.
The home's main entrance, lush with old wood, is in the original farmhouse. There's a wooden powder room to the right, and straight ahead is a striking hand-carved, white-stained banister that leads up to the second floor where there are four bedrooms. The sunlit master, which has a gas fireplace, bathroom and small balcony, overlooks the river.
"When there's a full moon, it comes right through these windows and it's almost like the sun in our eyes," Mary says. And other than hearing the birds in the morning, she notes, it's very quiet.
The master bathroom includes a glassed-in standing shower, double sinks and a Jacuzzi bathtub built for two, overlooking the river. Leading into the master bedroom is a large room, now used as Gilles's home office, with a gas fireplace and a peaked ceiling that reaches up 18 feet.
With the children now moved out, Gilles says the home is too big for just him and Mary. "It's a lot of work also in the summer," he says, between the yard and pool maintenance.
The Pierrefonds property, near the western tip of Montreal, is zoned as residential. Multiple building allowance accommodates the guest house as well as an old reinforced stable that the Charbon-neaus have been using as storage, and which happens to be home to several bats. A private property within a municipal park, the property's zoning also allows for some uses that complement the park, like a ski camp, Vilagos said. The Cap St. Jacques public beach is a 10-minute walk away, and an organic farm is one-kilometre away along St. Jacques Rd.
The property is not designated as heritage. "This is nice," Vilagos notes, "because there's the character of the house, without those restrictions."
The farmhouse was once the homestead of the LaDouceur family, at a time when what is now Cap St. Jacques had been divided into long, narrow concessions by the French Catholic seigneurs of Saint Sulpice. The concessions were part of the parish of Ste-Geneviève, and the families settling the land, from the early-18th century up to the mid20th century would have farmed oats, peas, wheat, potatoes, buckwheat, corn, beans, carrots and tobacco, and extracted maple syrup and pastured animals on the land.
A black and white photo of the large LaDouceur family gathered in front of the home hangs near the Charbonneaus' dining room table. The picture was taken in the early 1900s, and Mary notes the car in the photo signals that the family was prosperous. She points to a small boy among the group. "That little boy's son came around one day," she says. "Father's Day was coming up and I said to the son: 'Invite everybody.' " Charbonneau describes how generations of the LaDouceur family, including the boy from the photo, now elderly, poured in one summer morning and reminisced about the home and the property. "I just get chills thinking about it," Mary says. The Charbonneaus learned that the staircase in the original home was in a different location, and unlike the openness of the main floor now, it was then divided into different rooms. A stone ledge that is still at one of the farmhouse windows was once used to pour water outside.
Mary pulls out an original deed from 1906, when a younger generation of the LaDouceur family inherited the property. The deed lists particular responsibilities the new owner had to his parents, including providing them heated living space, clothing them and furnishing them with a properly harnessed horse to go visit friends, family and church. A pew in the church was also to be provided by the son.
The total square footage of the renovated main house is approximately 3,500. This includes four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, five gas fireplaces and one wood-burning fireplace. Off a mud room and laundry area close to the kitchen is a staircase to an unfinished basement. The home uses a septic tank, is equipped throughout with a central vacuum and has both oil and electric heating. The guest house includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open concept living and dining area.
The property is currently listed at $2.65 million.

Major League Baseball Still Claiming Ownership Of Game Data
from the can't-copyright-facts dept
Good old Major League Baseball. Back in October we wrote about how they were suddenly claiming that any website that broadcast real-time game info was violating their copyrights and were required to buy a license. Most people laughed this off and pointed to a 1997 ruling against the NBA, where Motorola was told they were allowed to send live game information to pagers. Now, Wired News is running a followup to the original story where MLB claims they know all about the Motorola decision, but believe it only applies to scores. Any other real-time info is their own. Again, I'll ask the same question I asked when this first came up. If I'm at the game, and I use my mobile phone to report what I see, is that considered "rebroadcasting" the game? What if I'm posting the information to a web site? From MLB's description, it certainly sounds like it. We've discussed this before (just a few posts ago, in fact), but you can't copyright facts, no matter how much you'd like to. If I see something with my own eyes and report it, I shouldn't require a "license" from Major League Baseball.
