Flomerics joins NAFEMS CFD Working Group
(12 December 2007) – To help promote best practice in the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) during the design phase, Flomerics has joined the NAFEMS CFD Working Group. Founded in 1995, the group provides guidance and information for the safe and reliable use of CFD within the engineering community. "Flomerics has been a member of NAFEMS for a number of years, and I am sure that their experience and knowledge will be beneficial to the CFD Working Group and the NAFEMS community in general,†said David Quinn, head of marketing and communications at NAFEMS Ltd. "Getting involved in the group demonstrates Flomerics commitment to the technology and the theory behind it, and that can only be a good thing for the industry.â€
Computational Fluid Dynamics was once the preserve of academics and specialists within large organizations. Despite the dramatic increase in computing power and improved ease-of-use in recent years, only about 3% of the 1 million+ mechanical design engineers worldwide are currently using CFD. One reason CFD finds limited use in product design is the effort required to clean up CAD geometry and construct the mesh prior to the analysis – something that has to be repeated every time the design is changed.
Flomerics' Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD) is a new breed of CFD software. EFD is based on the same mathematical foundation as traditional CFD software, but Flomerics' unique 'CAD-to-CFD' technology allows EFD to detect and mesh fluid regions (empty spaces) automatically, so the CAD geometry is used 'as is'. Unlike traditional CFD, EFD is embedded in the user's CAD system, so mechanical engineers can simulate fluid flow and heat transfer without leaving the MCAD software they are familiar with.
With SolidWorks now supplying Flomerics' FloXpress to all SolidWorks 2008 customers, tools like EFD are poised to make CFD far more widely accessible. Flomerics hopes its extensive experience in offering robust analysis tools for engineers will enable the CFD Working Group to show how CAD-embedded CFD can be used safely and reliably by practicing mechanical designers.
"EFD makes CFD accessible to a far wider audience and across all industry sectors, including education,†comments John Parry, research manager for Flomerics. "Through our involvement with the CFD Working Group we aim to show practicing mechanical designers how CAD-embedded CFD can be used safely and reliably to bring considerable time and cost savings during product design.â€
About Flomerics
Flomerics (www.flomerics.com) is a world-leading developer of engineering simulation software and services for analysis of fluid flow, heat transfer and electromagnetic radiation. Flomerics' business model, called "Design-Class Analysis†is drastically different from traditional analysis because its software is designed to be embedded deeply into the design process for use by mainstream design engineers, not just by analysis specialists.
About NAFEMS
NAFEMS is a vendor neutral, not-for-profit membership association of more than 800 companies from all over the world. Its mission is to promote the safe and reliable use of finite element and related technology. Members range from major corporations such as Boeing through mid-sized organizations such as JCB, to small-scale engineering consultants.

Also with many of the GW games, they seem to change the rules every 3 or 4 years.
BrikWars is not any more complicated than Warhammer and gives you more flexibility. Or Brick Battles, simple enough rules to learn in 10 minutes.
Now that does touch on the fact that the Warhammer minatures are beautiful and if you enjoy painting (which I do) then it can be fun.

Apple opened a handful of new Apple Stores today, none more amusingly placed than the one in Waterloo, Ontario, the hometown of BlackBerry maker RIM. Starting today, anyone in Waterloo who wants an iPhone rather than Bold, iPad rather than PlayBook can just wander on over. And according to @Steve_Gamble, they seem to be doing just that:
At the new Apple Store in Waterloo today. The number of Blackberries going dark is astounding!
Anyone else attending the opening of Apple in Waterloo? Any CrackBerry protests going? Let us know!


text: The aim of the Professional Ethics in Design and Building seminar is to enhance practical understanding of relevant state law and, in particular, ethical principles relevant to architectural practice. The approach is interactive and user-friendly. We use case studies (a) to elicit ethical principles and (b) as occasions for practice in applying them. We explain how these ethical principles figure in what we call a "toolbox approach" to ethical decision-making and stress the need to approach ethical issues in a systematic, reflective and responsible way.

Giants add to roster, sign crop of rookies as New York's camp begins
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The New York Giants have signed four of the seven players they selected in the NFL draft.
The Giants announced Friday at a rookie camp that defensive tackle Jonathan Hankins of Ohio State, defensive end Damontre Moore of Texas A&M, safety Cooper Taylor of Richmond and running back Michael Cox of UMass had signed contracts.
Hankins was drafted in the second round, Moore in the third, Taylor in the fifth and Cox in the seventh.
Offensive tackle Justin Pugh of Syracuse, the first-round pick, quarterback Ryan Nassib of Syracuse, the fourth-round pick, and guard Eric Herman of Ohio, another seventh-round pick, remain unsigned.
The Giants also signed running back Jeremy Wright of Louisville, linebacker Etienne Sabino of Ohio State, linebacker Charleus Dieuseul of Mount Union, defensive back Charles James of Charleston Southern, and two former Virginia Tech Hokies — receiver Marcus Davis and safety Alonzo Tweedy — as free agents.

After an amazing career in motorsports behind the wheel of some of the greatest machines to ever hit the track, we imagine hooning the 1985 Toyota Supra in the middle of New York City on a Toyota commercial shoot would seem like just another day at the office for Dan Gurney.
Even so according to Gurney, racing the twin cam electronically fuel injected inline six up Fifth Avenue and through the city was "fun". We have a sneaking suspicion Gurney's level of enjoyment didn't have much to do with being surrounded by the Supra's "luxury".
Racing through empty New York City streets thanks to a massive police detail would certainly be ideal although it's completely unrealistic for anyone who isn't a motorsports legend filming a car commercial. After watching this classic vintage advertisement we would honestly be happy if we were able to find a clean 1985 Supra to hoon anywhere.

Man Shot by Officers Leads Brief Chase
HINCKLEY (AP) - Authorities say a man wanted on a felony warrant was shot and wounded by officers in Pine County before leading deputies on a brief chase.
Pine County sheriff's officials say a deputy and State Patrol trooper arrived at the man's home near Hinckley Sunday evening to arrest him for violating terms of his probation. Authorities say 29-year-old Louis Workman got in his vehicle and sped toward officers, who were on foot. The two officers fired several shots. One struck Workman in the hand.
He fled from the scene and was arrested about a mile away when he was forced into a ditch. Workman was taken to Essentia Hospital in Sandstone. The officers were not injured.
Workman was accused of violating his probation from a previous fleeing conviction.

According to police, the grenade was found when relatives were cleaning out the home of an elderly relative who was a veteran. After taking it to the parking lot, one of the relatives reported it to police. Norwood officers protected the scene and called the Massachusetts State Police. State Trooper Steven Sicard's bomb-sniffing dog, Sierra, assisted and the grenade was found to be inert. Norwood police advise residents who discover something they think is explosive not to touch it, but to stay at least 50 yards away and call 911.

Crossposted from Facebook where this has been going round as a meme.
My Death – David Bowie (Jacques Brel)
It was a toss up between his cover of Wild is the wind (Johnny Mathis) and this one. Used to hear this on the radio and learnt of 'Baal' and 'Brecht' through Bowie when the LP was released in 81/82.
Coil – Tainted Love (Soft Cell)
Coil completely decontructs Soft Cell's dance floor hit, creating an elegy in the decade AIDS started making headlines.
Nature Boy – Jose Feliciano (Nat King Cole, et al)
I first heard this song in summer camp in 78 or so. It was played to me on guitar by a guy called Hans, he was one of the camp leaders. He tried to teach me how to play it, but I only mastered the jazzy chords a few years later. I found the song, which has been covered by many, on a Jose Feliciano album I found in our library. Since it's the first cover I heard, it remains my favourite – though I haven't heard it in years.
What Makes a Man a Man – Marc Almond (Charles Aznavour)
Almond brings more tears and a sob to this song than the slightly more understated Aznavour.
Lovelight – Robbie Williams (Lewis Taylor)
I was tempted to pick Robbie's cover of The Human League's Louise off of the same album, but went with Lovelight instead, because I didn't know the song before I heard Robbie sing it. It's one of those Hi-NRG songs I can't get enough of lately.
Les Filles du bord de mer – Arno (Adamo)
This will probably be fairly unknown outside of Europe, in fact I didn't know the song before I heard the Belgian singer Arno (ex-TC Matic) sing it live. It's a crowd pleaser. Arno's version slows it down, drags it out, makes it great.
Night and day – U2 (Cole Porter/Frank Sinatra)
Recorded for the Red, Hot and Blue album in support of AIDS charities and accompanied by a stupid video, this is one of my favourite U2 recordings. Obsessive love songs are the best.
Paper Thin Hotel – Fatima Mansions (Leonard Cohen)
Cathal Coughlan turns Paper Thin Hotel's jealous lover into an axe-murderer. A left over from the sessions for the Cohen tribute album 'I'm your man', released on a sampler given away at FNAC.
Brother can you spare a dime – George Michael (Bing Crosby, et al)
Almost went with Somebody to love (Queen), but I'm really not that keen on the song, eventhough George covered it so brilliantly at Wembley. Anyway, I just wanted to include him. Love his voice.
Scorn not his simplicity – Sinead O'Connor (Phil Coulter/Luke Kelly)
Written by Coulter for his disabled son and occasionally sung by The Dubliner's Luke Kelly. There's many songs Sinead's covered that I could have picked, not in the least Prince's Nothing Compares to You, but this one is pure and lovely.
Better Days Ahead – Hothouse Flowers (Gil Scott-Heron)
A slow burner, a plea for love in times of trouble. Liam O'Maoinlai at his best, I think, forever hovering on the good side of sharp. It has a sax-solo that doesn't get on my nerves. It was an extra song on the Flowers' I can see clearly now-single, also a cover. I don't remember ever hearing the original.
Heartbreak Hotel – John Cale (Elvis Presley)
John Cale has done my favourite cover of Hallelujah, the first version of it that I ever heard, long, long before it became fodder for the idols. But I'm picking his Heartbreak Hotel, because it takes a great song, demolishes it, and then rebuilds it. Really brings out the despair, as well.
By this river – Gavin Friday (Brian Eno)
Can't have a list like this without our Gav. He picks a song, takes a good look at it from all sides, then twists himself inside of it until he thinks he wrote it. Then he makes you believe the same. He's done that to Sinatra's Cycles, Coldplay's Yellow, Brel's Amsterdam and Next, to Blue Velvet, Nina Simone's Four Women, Hot Chocolate's Put your love in me, his extraordinary cover of Singin in the rain, and many, many Kurt Weill classics. But I'm picking this more recent song, because it's such an odd one out, and one of his best vocals.
Some of these songs, or their orginals, can be heard on this playlist I made in Spotify

From Openmoko
Initial thoughts
As a system administrator and compulsive sms text (I often have IM and IRC gatewayed to sms via weechat scripts) and identi.ca user, I really, really dislike the lack of a keyboard, or any other reasonable method of text entry using just the device by itself. I really dislike the fact that you pretty much have to use external device with the device when doing any kind of hacking on it, and to do initial setup.
Personally I'm hoping that the ROAD handyPC S101 will be as open as the Openmoko Freerunner (I've emailed them asking this question), or the next version of the Pandora will both be more open (right now bluetooth and wifi have userspace non-free driver components, with only the core dev members having access to that code under NDAs) and have some way to add a GSM radio. Or even better, the next version of the Openmoko will have a form factor like the Modu which would allow the easy creation of hardware shells suitable to a wide variety of situations and people.
But as a personal and professional supporter of the Free Software movement (my day job is as a Sys Admin with the Free Software Foundation), I can't give Openmoko enough kudos for going to the lengths they have gone to make sure the hardware is usable with 100% free software. For that reason alone I think they deserve the wholehearted support of the community and myself, both to make the device as usable as possible for as many people as possible given the current hardware, and to show other vendors and the people who will make the decisions about if and when there will be a new Openmoko version that the free software community supports vendors that support them.
Use Cases
This section in process.
1. A helper device for people who want to make sure they use only free software - i.e. no Binary Blobs. I happen to help support the person on earth who probably cares the most about this, rms. RMS tends to accumulate weird, alpha- and beta- quality mobile hardware that supports free software best at any given moment. For a while, he used an OLPC XO; currently he uses a Lemote Loongson 2e based laptop that is never going to go into mass production (they do have plans for 2f laptops that will be produced). These pieces of hardware tend to either not have a lot of internal peripherals that work, or have internal peripherals that RMS will not use due to their non-free nature (OLPC XO wifi) or that don't work all that well due to other issues. As a workaround RMS has a large number of USB devices he carries around with him. Initial thought is that the openmoko could replace the external USB wifi device he carries around (it's not all that much bigger or heavier than the linksys wusb54g), which could give easier configuration, WPA2 support, and also a backup computing device to use should the laptop fail. It should also be possible to set it up as a SIP phone; I'm not sure if he would use the GPS or GSM radio due to the closed black-box nature of that hardware.
2. As a communications / PAN hub.
Fixing the things I initially disliked
Lack of keyboard (hardware solutions): Ordered adapters to use with external USB keyboards, and some cheap small USB keyboards (dclarktodo get URLs). Ordered a Zipit Z2 to see if it can be hacked to be a mobile keyboard for the Freerunner (at about $40 it's cheaper than all the portable bluetooth keyboards I could find, and runs GNU/Linux independently). Until I hack the Freerunner to do all the things I need my portable device to do (mostly act as a quick-to-write-to external memory repository to implement the Zen to Done methodology), I'm using a Treo 650, which can be used as a Bluetooth keyboard for the Openmoko with Blueremote 1.2 by Károly Lőrentey.
Lack of keyboard (software solution): The existing terminal / console applications I've seen look pretty non-tailored to the form factor of the openmoko to me. They have a lot of wasted space for icons and control text, and tiny keyboards usable only with the stylus. So my first project is going to be to try to code up something that is a terminal for hard-core terminal users that uses space efficiently. For the moment I'm calling it hardcore-term or hcterm. I just finished a mockup to see if the text will be readable on the openmoko screen which is included above.
Initial setup requires other devices / a stylus: I think these problems can be fixed by including thumb-friendly GUI utilities that set up networking and keyboard use (wifi, usb, bluetooth, wired ethernet via a USB ethernet adapter on the USB port), by having gui utilities to set up x2x, x2vnc, and some vnc server (in addition to the default ssh server), by installing operating systems onto the microSD card from the installed OS, and by the addition of code in uBoot that would allow the microSD OS to be copied over to the main OS (a lot of higher-end IBM hardware has this as an option so you can test new firmware before promoting it to production). I plan on working on this (or encouraging others to, as firmware is outside of things I have a big clue about) after hardcore-term works.

Levein warns players of Wales backlash
Manager Craig Levein has warned Scotland to be wary of being the victims of a Wales backlash in Friday night's World Cup qualifier.
The Tartan Army head into the clash in Cardiff on the back of a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Serbia in their last game, having also lost their opener to Belgium.
But Levein warned: "Serbia are an excellent side, they really are, and I was pleased with our performance against them. I knew it would be extremely difficult for Wales going across there to get any sort of result. It was always going to be a really tough fixture. The danger for us, of course, is that Wales get some sort of response from that."
He added: "Every team who has a poor result generally comes out for the next match full of determination to prove that wrong."
Levein is boosted by the return of Darren Fletcher, Steven Fletcher and Scott Brown to his squad - all for very different reasons.
However, the Scotland boss was keeping tight-lipped about his starting line-up, having previously publicly named his team for matches 24 hours before kick-off.
He said: "I try to pick the best team possible for every game.
"What pleases me immensely is the quality and strength in depth that we have for this particular fixture and for the Belgium game.
"I always put pressure on myself to make the right decisions, that's what management is all about.
"We have a really strong group of players just now and we have prepared excellently this week so we are just itching to get started."

Following up from today's year-end media column (linked here):
== Orange County Register writer Kevin Ding wrote on his Lakers blog the other day (linked here):
"Hey, Will Selva of ESPNEWS. Glad you liked my last column so much. Try not to plagiarize it next time."
Ding explained that when he got to his hotel room late Tuesday night after the Lakers-Spurs game, he flipped on ESPNEWS' "Highlight Express" show and "imagine my shock" when Selva used the first several paragraphs of a story he did a couple days earlier.
We're pleased that ESPN has since suspended Selva, an anchor whose name we'd have otherwise never known if not for Ding's discovery (he's been there three years?) Others have been fired for such offenses. At least Selva owned up to it.
And Ding brought attention to something that is far too prevalent in the sports media rush to repurpose paragraphs in the rush to get an assignment done. You can't take that thing as a "compliment," as some suggest, and just ignore it.
== Check out the year-end sports media best and worst from SI.com's Richard Deitsch (linked here)
== As ratings will predictably drop during this year's college bowl season — some, because almost all the games, including the BCS championship, has moved to ESPN, and others, because they're just poor matchups — the Wall Street Journal (linked here) researched which teams over the last 10-plus years have lived up to their drawing power, and which haven't.
The winner: USC, on probation this season. The worst: Virginia.
== Universal Sports recognizes the recent passing of Olympic documentarian Bud Greenspan by airing nine of his works, starting Saturday (6 p.m.) with his piece on the 1984 L.A. Summer Olympics — the original "Sixteen Days of Glory," that focuses on Carl Lewis (above), Edwin Moses, Rowdy Gaines, Mary Lou Retton, Zola Budd and Joan Benoit. It follows in subsequent days airing Greenspan's documentaries on the '88 Calgary Winter Games, the '94 Lillehammer Winter Games, the '96 Atlanta Summer Games, the '98 Nagano Winter Games, the 2000 Sydney Summer Games (includes a piece on Tommy Lasorda), the '02 Salt Lake City Winter Games, the '04 Athens Summer Games (with UCLA's Lisa Fernandez), and the '06 Torino Winter Games.
FYI: The U.S. Olympic Committee established a scholarship in 2007 at USC's School of Cinematic Arts to honor Greenspan, and his family asks that any donations be made to that fund. For more information: firstname.lastname@example.com.
== Former Olympic Greco-Roman wrestler Rulon Gardner appears on NBC's "Biggest Loser," (linked here) as the 11th season of the weight-loss reality show starts Tuesday.
The 39-year-old Gardner, who won gold in 2000 and the bronze in 2004, weighs in at 474 pounds and has developed high blood pressure and sleep apnea, could win $250,000 with his business partner joining him on the show if they out-lose 20 other contestants.
"The day that I won the bronze medal in the Olympics, I thought, 'You'll never step on a scale again, live life and enjoy, take a year or two years off,'" Rulon said in a promotional video, explaining his appearance on the show. "I allowed myself to really lose track of what I was doing and finally got to a point where I couldn't look in the mirror."
He now works as a motivational speaker and runs a training center and fitness gym in Logan, Utah.
Gardner and partner Justin Pope have been taping the show in L.A. since September but managed to keep it all a secret.

Walk, Talk and KLEAN
By Sherri Beachfront Lewis
October 25, 2011
On October 16, AIDS Walk LA is packing the streets with walkers! Like so many AIDS Walks throughout cities in the United States, it's always a reminder and a statement of an epidemic that is still here. Wouldn't we all like to hang up our sneakers already?
The sunny hot streets of Los Angeles, beginning in West Hollywood, host parades of walkers wearing their team names proudly on their multicolored t-shirts. Streets that are usually traffic jams are for a few hours flooded with thousands of colorful walkers raising money and awareness for a vast variety of teams from AIDS service organizations like Being Alive, AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Project Angel Food and The Life Group LA -- who walked with their team name on red umbrellas in case of rain and instead were protected from the blazing sun. Teams from the entertainment industry, hospitals and individual families and friends still walking together for their loved ones, some lost many years ago and some more recently, with photos, a name and years of life never long enough. It keeps us conscious as we remember that in spite of all the treatments, breakthroughs and 30 years of activism, people still die of AIDS. These images are emblazoned in my mind from years of walks.
After the last walker has walked and booths and signs are dismantled and the sun is down, I make my way to CBS Studios for some KLEAN talking -- and sometimes not-so-clean talking -- on KLEAN Radio, a recovery radio show. I was honored to be the guest interview with hosts Judah Friedman and Andrew Spanswick, CEO of the KLEAN Treatment Centers in West Hollywood, California. This was just the treatment I needed. Some laughs, being of service and putting out some important and basic HIV/AIDS information to addicts, alcoholics and the general public, people who don't know and don't even think about HIV/AIDS and really need the information.
Sometimes those of us who are positive and have been activists and educators for so many years forget that the general population has no education, little information about the basics of HIV/AIDS. So it's important to be out there talking about it not just to our own but to others, like Judah, who admitted he was the "average guy" when it comes to HIV/AIDS information.
As we approach World AIDS Day on December 1st, think positive. Get educated about HIV/AIDS. Get tested! Free anonymous testing is so readily available in many cities in the United States. We are very fortunate. So there is no excuse for not knowing your status. Be brave. Be smart. Be informed. Keep updated on your information about HIV/AIDS, not just for yourself but for others. Sharing your experience getting tested can help others and stop the spread of HIV. HIV can stop with me and in my case, thankfully it has. What's best for one is best for the whole, the entirety. That is the first principle in the first tradition in 12-step fellowships addressing healthier relationships and boundaries.
If you are an addict/alcoholic and want to stop doing what you're doing and can't, you don't have to do it alone. I know I couldn't. I went to treatment and then to 12-step meetings which I still attend regularly by choice. Long before there were HIV medications or information or laws to help protect HIV-positive people from the enormous stigma of AIDS in the '80s, it has been my experience that the hope and help and friendships I found in 12-step meetings saved my life -- first from addiction, then to living with HIV. For that I am deeply grateful and proud to be a woman in recovery.
Get help. Call your local 12-step hotline. Your life is not over, it's just beginning even with HIV!
Your life may be the one you save today.
Peace out,

text: J.D. Jones HANDGUNHUNTING TIPS, TECHNIQUES AND POLITICALINCORRECTNESS Evolution M Wildcatting W hy "wildcat" or shoot a wildcat cartridge when there are hundreds of factory cartridges to choose from? Performance is one answer. Maybe for more, or less performance — or just for the fun of it. It also wasn't always that way. The .30-'03 (predecessor of the .30-'06) spawned a great number of cartridges, both wildcat and factory, which are now common. Rounds like the .22-250 wouldn't be around if it wasn't for the wildcatters. Even the WSM cartridges evolved from wildcats. Or, you may have an idea and with the proper expenditure of dollars you can find out if it's worthwhile — or not. Often the final result is far from the original concept. Take for example the .475 JDJ which is simply a full length .45-70 opened up, with the case reformed to handle .475" diameter bullets. For practical purposes velocity with the same weight bullets are almost identical. I wanted to find out if there was any real difference between a 500 grain .458 and 500 grain .475 on animals. At that time the platform was a Contender and both gave a 500-grainer about 1,600 fps. Eventually this case was shortened to become the .475 Linebaugh revolver cartridge. Next it was further shortened to become the .480 Ruger. Many bullets were developed for it and now the 400 grain .475 revolver bullets work exceptionally well at the higher velocities of the .475 JDJ for lighter game in the deer/black bear category. Did it work better than the .45 caliber? After shooting a lot of Asian buffalo with them I thought I saw a tiny bit of edge to the larger diameter bullet, but not enough I could say definitely. I still like it though. Left to right: The .222 Rem., .223, .222 Rem Mag., .20 tactical, .204 Ruger and the .222 Mag JDJ. The JDJ round chases the .22-250 in performance with some loads. any years ago the .375 JDJ came about simply because the .44 Magnum didn't have the accuracy, trajectory or power to do what I wanted it to do. Simply necking the .444 Marlin to .375 and putting it in a Contender was a simple enough matter. Developing the loads that gave the power without gun damage after thousands of shots was a lengthy process. That project ended up being the world-wide big game handgun hunters caliber of choice for a lot of years, and is still hugely successful. Unfortunately the Contender won't handle cartridges such as the .308, so necking the .444 to .30 became the .309 JDJ, which comes very close to duplicating .308 ballistics safely in a Contender. Recently, high velocity has again become the rage. The .223 is a fine cartridge in the Contender and with the right twist barrel will easily handle the 75-77 grain bullets very well, but it certainly isn't a .22-250, and that's the performance varminters wanted. But unfortunately, the Contender will not take the .22-250. .222 JDJ Magnum ommercially first in the line was the .222 Remington. Next was the .222 Magnum — just a little longer case with a long neck. Wildcatters took bullet diameter up and down. Further modifications resulted in the .223 or 5.56 and one of the greatest success stories ever. Along came the .204 Ruger and its lightweight bullets at super velocities which, lo and behold, was merely the .222 Magnum case necked down a bit and it worked fine in the Contender. Then came the bitching about wind drift and poor penetration. But it still wasn't a .22-250. I moved the .222 Mag/.204 shoulder forward and changed it to 60 degrees, keeping .22 caliber and found in a Contender it was on the heels ballistically of the .22250 (I'm getting upwards of 3,200 fps with some loads). With a 1" in 9" twist it handled 45 though 77 grain bullets quite well, which no factory .22-250 will do, due to their slow twist rate. Often the wildcat does offer a true value to the shooter. And because of wildcatting, we now have the .222 JDJ Magnum and a good competitor for the .22-250, but shootable in the Contender.

Help Pantene explain to women that truly beautiful hair coloration comes from healthy hair.
Grey hair… Many women want to banish grey hair from sight by coloring their hair, but they don't understand what can be done to optimize the results.
Actually, it's simple. To achieve a truly beautiful hair coloration, they need healthy hair first! If hair is unhealthy, with damaging minerals at the core of the hair, the shaft will block the color from penetrating deep inside, resulting in a dull color tone.
This is why Pantene has created a new in-shower Treatment for Colored Hair, with its trusted Pro-V formula that removes these damaging minerals.
Please help us explain this simple truth to women who don't want to go grey too soon?
Create an attractive poster for Pantene that intuitively shows that beautiful & vivacious hair color can only come from healthy hair.
Format: 1 page poster and 1 page text description.

Raptor Assaulted - Ford Off-Road Driving SchoolPosted in Events on May 1, 2013
Following in the footsteps of legendary performance driving schools such as Bondurant and Skip Barber, Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, has made a name for itself with a full line of Ford Racing High-Performance Driving Schools, teaching would-be racers the finer points of piloting the Ford Mustang GT around North America's longest road-coarse. In 2013, Miller Motorsports Park will launch a program geared towards those of us who prefer the dusty kind of road. The Ford Racing Raptor Assault program is a one-of-a-kind experience designed to teach the fundamentals of off-road driving, vehicle dynamics, and low-traction handling from behind the wheel of the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup.
Armed with a fleet of 6.2L crew-cab Raptors, Miller offers three levels of instruction: Raptor Assault Hot Laps, Raptor Assault Experience, and Raptor Assault One-Day School. We were fortunate enough to be invited to spend the last non-snow-covered day of the year going through the full one-day driving school.
The Raptor Assault one-day program started off with a brief but comprehensive classroom session and vehicle orientation. After all the waivers were signed we strapped into our assigned Raptor and headed out to spend a day in the dirt. The course included instruction on the rockcrawling course, off-road short-course racetrack, and open desert. After spending a full day behind the wheel we had learned a lot, had some fun, and were very reluctant to hand over the keys.
Overall we feel that this new set of Raptor Assault courses is a must for any current or future Ford Raptor owner, and for anybody even remotely curious about the capabilities of this phenomenal pickup truck.
The first discipline taught was on the rockcrawling course. Drivers were instructed to drive up onto a 30-degree side hill to demonstrate the vehicle's stability and to practice the art of left-foot braking. From there the course moves on to hill climbing and descending. During this exercise drivers are taught throttle modulation and the function of hill decent control. Finally, drivers will take a second, more difficult line up the hillclimb. This time, however, the driver will be taught how the locking rear differential works as a traction aid, but also how it can hinder turning ability.
Short Course
The off-road short course is not something most will experience, as it is typically off limits to the public. During this time of instruction drivers are coached on how to approach large, rolling moguls without damaging the truck—or themselves. A first pass is made at 20 mph and another at 25 mph. Next the group moves to jumping. Drivers are lined up a specified distance from the lip of the jump, and then given instruction on the technique of successfully launching and landing the 6,000-pound truck. Finally, before leaving the short course truck, drivers are treated to a hot lap around the full course with one of Miller's professional drivers behind the wheel.
Open Desert
After lunch and a brief classroom session, participants head over to Miller's 900-acre open desert area. Here is where high-speed open desert driving is taught. Drivers start out in a twisty dry wash, making passes in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Once the drivers are comfortable, the wash is watered down to make a fine, slick mud. Drivers are once again sent out to practice under the new conditions what they had just learned.
From here the group moves to more jumping. This time the jumps are larger, and the drivers are instructed to hit them going 50 mph. The whole event culminates with a 2-mile loop that combines the all of the open desert disciplines of tight washes, slick mud, and jumping.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Turmoil surrounding an unprecedented $3 billion cancer-fighting effort in Texas worsened Tuesday when its executive director offered his resignation and the state's chief public corruption prosecutor announced an investigation into the beleaguered agency.
No specific criminal allegations are driving the latest probe into the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, said Gregg Cox, director of the Travis County district attorney's public integrity unit. But his influential office opened a case only weeks after the embattled agency disclosed that an $11 million grant to a private company bypassed review.
That award is the latest trouble in a tumultuous year for CPRIT, which controls the nation's second-largest pot of cancer research dollars. Amid the mounting problems, the agency announced Tuesday that Executive Director Bill Gimson had submitted his letter of resignation.
"Unfortunately, I have also been placed in a situation where I feel I can no longer be effective," Gimson wrote in a letter dated Monday.
Gimson said the troubles have resulted in "wasted efforts expended in low value activities" at the agency, instead of a focused fight against cancer. Gimson offered to stay on until January, and the agency's board must still approve his request to step down.
His departure would complete a remarkable house-cleaning at CPRIT in a span of just eight months. It began in May, when Dr. Alfred Gilman resigned as chief science officer in protest over a different grant that the Nobel laureate wanted approved by a panel of scientists. He warned it would be "the bomb that destroys CPRIT."
Gilman was followed by Chief Commercialization Officer Jerry Cobbs, whose resignation in November came after an internal audit showed Cobbs included an $11 million proposal in a funding slate without a required outside review of the project's merits. The lucrative grant was given to Dallas-based Peloton Therapeutics, a biomedical startup.
Gimson chalked up Peloton's award to an honest mistake and has said that, to his knowledge, no one associated with CPRIT stood to benefit financially from the company receiving the taxpayer funds. That hasn't satisfied some members of the agency's governing board, who called last week for more assurances that no one personally profited.
Cox said he has been following the agency's problems and his office received a number of concerned phone calls. His department in Austin is charged with prosecuting crimes related to government officials; his most famous cases include winning a conviction against former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay in 2010 on money laundering charges.
"We have to gather the facts and figure what, if any, crime occurred so that (the investigation) can be focused more," Cox said.
Gimson's resignation letter was dated the same day the Texas attorney general's office also announced its investigation of the agency. Cox said his department would work cooperatively with state investigators, but he made clear the probes would be separate.
Peloton's award marks the second time this year that a lucrative taxpayer-funded grant authorized by CPRIT instigated backlash and raised questions about oversight. The first involved the $20 million grant to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston that Gilman described as a thin proposal that should have first been scrutinized by an outside panel of scientific peer-reviewers, even though none was required under the agency's rules.
Dozens of the nation's top scientists agreed. They resigned en masse from the agency's peer-review panels along with Gilman. Some accused the agency of "hucksterism" and charting a politically-driven path that was putting commercial product-development above science.
The latest shake-up at CPRIT caught Gilman's successor off-guard. Dr. Margaret Kripke, who was introduced to reporters Tuesday, acknowledged that she wasn't even sure who she would be answering to now that Gimson was stepping down. She said that although she wasn't with the agency when her predecessor announced his resignation, she was aware of the concerns and allegations.
"I don't think people would resign frivolously, so there must be some substance to those concerns," Kripke said.
Kripke also acknowledged the challenge of restocking the peer-review panels after the agency's credibility was so publicly smeared by some of the country's top scientists. She said she took the job because she felt the agency's mission and potential was too important to lose.
Only the National Institutes of Health doles out more cancer research dollars than CPRIT, which has awarded more than $700 million so far.
Gov. Rick Perry told reporters in Houston on Tuesday that he wasn't previously aware of the resignation but said Gimson's decision to step down was his own.
Joining the mounting criticism of CPRIT is the woman credited with brainstorming the idea for the agency in the first place. Cathy Bonner, who served under former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, teamed with cancer survivor Lance Armstrong in selling Texas voters in 2007 on a constitutional amendment to create an unprecedented state-run effort to finance a war on disease.
Now Bonner says politics have sullied an agency that she said was built to fund research, not subsidize private companies.
"There appears to be a cover-up going on," Bonner said.
Peloton has declined comment about its award and has referred questions to CPRIT. The agency has said the company wasn't aware that its application was never scrutinized by an outside panel, as required under agency rules.

- 12. Tell about another boy you think is a good citizen. Tell what he does that makes you think he is a good citizen.
- 13. List the names of three people you think are good citizens. (They can be from any country.) Tell why you chose each of them.

Feeling trapped? Learn what it takes to be truly free
Escape the feeling of being trapped and create new ways of finding practical solutions
One of the worst things in the world is to feel trapped by your situation, to feel as if you have no control and no say in the outcome. People can become trapped by all sorts of things - their career, for instance, or a relationship that goes wrong, or their financial situation, or perhaps serious illness or injury.
Whatever your particular situation, feeling powerless runs counter to our fundamental human need for a sense of control. You have other needs (beyond the physical), of course. You need security, for example, and a sense of connection, and a way to make your life meaningful. However, it's easier to cope with shortfall in these areas than it is to cope with powerlessness.
Powerlessness really gets us where it hurts.
What to do when trapped in a situation which cannot be changed
Advocates of positive thinking will advise you to just look on the bright side and things will turn out all right. Such an attitude is helpful, up to a point. It is true that encouraging yourself to be optimistic is better than sinking into depression. However, it is not helpful to cling on to unrealistic expectations that some 'miracle' will happen and fix things for you. That is a recipe for disappointment and despair.
Check the outside and the inside to identify the real trap
When the going gets really tough, and the walls of the trap feel like they're closing in, it helps to be really clear how much of the problem lies outside you and how much lies inside you. Getting clear about this can be tricky in the pressures of the situation. Stop feeling trapped can help you achieve a level of inner calm which will allow you to look more objectively at what is going on.
The wisdom to know the difference
You may know of the famous Serenity Prayer of German pastor Reinhold Niebuhr, in which he asks for the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, the courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
When you are deeply relaxed and calm, you can begin to tell whether the aspects of your own situation which 'should be changed' lie inside you (your own attitudes and emotions) or outside you (your actions and interactions). You will begin to see what must be accepted.
Finding the courage to deal with your personal trap
The next step is to summon up the courage and determination you need to respond appropriately. Stop feeling trapped will help you tap into deep inner resources of optimism and determination. Regular listening will help you build up and strengthen these qualities, so that you can call on them at will. You will find yourself enjoying a new lease of creativity and patience in dealing with your situation.
Whatever the outcome, you will stop feeling trapped.

I I plan to devote the Nativity Fast to truly, for the first time, fasting in an Orthodox manner. It's hard since I don't really know how to shop inexpensively for fasting meals. My boys will want their standard meat-based American fare. My wife's on board with the fasting diet, so that will make it easier. She welcomes a meatless, vegan or vegetarian diet for health's sake. It will be interesting to see how we can make this work. Please pray for me as I begin the fast so that I may do so faithfully and with an Orthodox mind. God willing, I will be chrismated in the near future.

2013 Can-Am Commander - Can-Daaaaammm!!Posted in Features on August 15, 2013
After attending a number of events around the Southeast, we have come to notice that a few hardcore partiers in the South Florida mud scene show up to each and every event with a big crew of hot girls, some high-dollar toys, and a whole lotta confidence. These off-road rebels are an intricate part of this ever-growing mud scene and are making all the other madness seem a little less extreme.
It's hard to focus on an intense 2½-ton truck that's racing when something like Mike Ammons' party buggy is cruising around. He's always blasting music while some of the hottest mud girls in the park are booty-shaking in bikinis. This is a crew that sets out to have a party in the mud and they don't care what anyone has to say about it. They are usually the first ones to unload their rigs on Friday and the last ones to drag their muddy machines home on Sunday, and they love every minute of it.
Over the past few years these extremely fun mud events have exploded in size and popularity. The attendance that these events pull in is constantly on the rise, and the area needed to accommodate the incoming wave of mudders has been expanding rapidly. After a few long walks from camp to camp around the mud pit at night, Mike decided to pull the trigger on the purchase of a Can-Am Commander side-by-side he saw advertised in a recent issue of Mud Life.
Clearly the Can-Am is a capable machine straight from the factory, but Mike was dead-set on making his stand out. Before the brand-new '13 Can-Am Commander was even delivered, Mike had his team at East Coast Customs order a bunch of performance goodies and the biggest lift kit they could find. Once they made a few phone calls and spent a couple bucks, a 6-inch suspension was on its way from CATVOS (Custom ATV of Shreveport) in Louisiana. With the lift installed, Mike made a few measurements and decided on a set of 34-inch Terminator tires wrapped around 15-inch MotoSport Alloys M12 Diesel Wheels from Super ATV in Madison, Indiana. Next they added some beefy axles, a custom snorkel kit, and an EFI tuner, all from Gorilla Axle in Monroe, Louisiana. Helping the ride quality will be a new pair of Fox shocks at each corner and some factory fender flares from Can-Am.
To finish off the extreme build, East Coast Customs slapped on a Can-Am windshield and the Aluminum roof from UTV Products. Mike would like this ridiculously cool-looking Can-Am to be street legal, but a long list of vehicle codes, a set of side-view mirrors, and a lack of Florida registration papers will keep it in the mud. Mike has more plans for this rig but for now, it's time to party!

PETROLIA, ON -- Filmmaker Mark McNabb won't be loading up the truck and moving to Hollywood any time soon.
"It's cool to visit -- wouldn't want to live there," said the father of three who runs Skylight Films in the town in which he grew up.
Skylight Films will roll out a red carpet at Victoria Playhouse Petrolia Nov. 29 for the premier of Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes.
It's the sequel to The Mystical Adventures of Billy Owens, a family fantasy-adventure that premiered on Super Channel in October.
The new film, shot last summer in Sarnia, Sombra, Courtright and Pelee Island, brought wrestler-actor Roddy Piper back together with the young actors from the first film, including Chatham's Dalton Mugridge in the title role of Billy Owens -- a young boy with magical power.
McNabb said they got the green light for a sequel from Skylight's Los Angeles based partners, Artist View Entertainment, while shooting the first Billy Owens film.
Piper, who plays the "wise, wizardly" role in the story, also agreed to return.
In the first film, Billy gets his magic wand and in the second he learns how to use it, McNabb said.
A curse traps Piper's character in an amulet in the sequel and it's up to Billy and his friends to save him.
"They end up going through all kinds of adventures to get there."
McNabb directed the film and produced it, along with Kelly Rae Irwin.
This is the third film McNabb has made with Piper, a notorious wrestler in the WWE in the 1980s and 90s.
The first was the action film BLINDEYE, which was when McNabb approached Piper with the idea of acting in a family adventure film Skylight was developing.
Right away, Piper said he was attracted to the project's values and said he was in, McNabb said.
This fall, Skylight began shooting a children's western, Home Alone on the Range, and it recently finished Ghost Trap, a film McNabb described as a "junior Ghostbusters."
In all, McNabb has shot more than 25 films in Petrolia and around southwestern Ontario.
Over the last 15 years, Skylight has gone from showing its films locally to the point where it has three titles playing on Super Channel this fall, he said.
The family-adventure television and DVD market has turned into a good one for Skylight Films and one that McNabb said he's enjoying as a filmmaker.
"You're an adult and you get to play."
The Nov. 29 premier of Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes will benefit the United Way of Sarnia-Lambton.
McNabb said actors from the film will be at the premier, although Piper isn't expected because of a scheduling conflict.
Tickets are $15 and showtime is 7:30 p.m. at the Victoria Playhouse Petrolia. Call Skylight Films, 519-882-0025, for ticket information.

We've made it easy to make boat lettering in a style that matches your Jupiter boat. To get started pick the option below and we'll guide you through the purchase process. With our site you can choose your own colors and styles that match your needs!.Instant Previews Design Online Instant Prices Brilliant Colors
Read all about how doming works here. Domed lettering is simply vinyl lettering with doming epoxy resin on top of it. It creates a really nice looking domed effect that is common on boats. Where boat manufacturers buy domed lettering in bulk we specialize in custom names, numbers, and lettering.
Your lettering is cut, weeded, and coated in a transfer tape ready to install as a completed adhesive backed pre spaced strip. Installation instructions and videos are available in our instructions section. We have many optional installation accessories located in our accessories section.
You should see 5 - 7 years of life out of your lettering. More is very common, but it depends on if your boat is stored outside or not. One important distinction is that there are multiple methods to dome lettering. We use a two part epoxy mix that must air dry. This is different from a UV cured process. Our process last MUCH longer and does not yellow in the sun like UV cured epoxy.
We'll guide you through the process of creating matching Jupiter numbers when you click design now. Each state has specific verbiage as to their requirements. The general requirements for boat hull identification numbers are as follows:
The look great
Thanks so much for your reply. It's refreshing to see a business show interest after the sale. I'm very happy with my decals that you made and I really liked how I was able to design them myself. You're site was impressive and easy to use. I will certainly be returning later for additional decals to match on my boat project. It's not quite finished yet but i'm on track to be fishing in one of the coolest ol boats around. Nice decals are a nice touch. Thanks so much an I will send another more pics in a couple months when finished.
Name came out perfect! Application was easy and straight forward also the teal matches my craver boat cover perfectly.
Fast service and just what was expected. letters looked great. Would definitely use them again.

Mobile, Alabama There's nothing that will make me homesick for the South quicker than a few pictures or a good story. I have a great love for the people in the deep South. I seized the opportunity to work with a number of true Southerners and gathered enough material to fill a book of short stories. I've neither scratched my head so much nor laughed so hard as I did while working with this "breed" of people. And they are a breed. Especially the ones who found their way under my guidance. I'm not sure if my upper management wanted to sink me or if they actually thought I could do something with some of these characters. Nonetheless, I seemed to end up with the most lively, 100% of whom were bussed in from Northern counties in the state, and all of whom brought with them daily woes of their extended families.
When I first read this story, a couple a days ago, I saw "Prichard man" and immediately looked at the name of the accused to see if 1.) he'd been employed by us or 2.) he was the cousin/nephew/son/husband of someone we employed. I was sort of disappointed to find his name was not familiar and extremely disappointed I've lost contact with my two favorite ladies down there so I could get their take on what transpired. I'm positive they know someone who's given them the inside story here and I can almost see and hear Miss Mack standing there with her hand on her hip, rolling those eyes back in her head as she's relaying the gory details. "Shit girl, that boy done dug his uncle's eyes out. One at a time, girl. Dirtied up that spoon and everything. I ain't eating off their shit no more." (more…)

By His Family, Ye Shall Know Him|William Fox, Assoc. Dean for Academic Affairs|Margaret A. King, Associate Dean for Institutional Advancement |David Schrock, Director of Financial Aid
A New Administrative Team & With It -
he Very Rev. David M. O'Connell, C.M., President of The Catholic University of America, appointed Douglas W. Kmiec as dean and St. Thomas More Professor of Law of the university's school of law on July 1, 2001.
One of the nation's leading experts in constitutional law, Dean Kmiec held the Caruso Family Chair in Constitutional Law at Pepperdine University School of Law since 1999. Before that, he taught constitutional law at the University of Notre Dame for nearly two decades and directed Notre Dame's Center on Law and Government. From 1985 to 1989, Kmiec served in the Reagan and Bush administrations as head of the Office of Legal Counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice, a position held by Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Associate Justice Antonin Scalia prior to their appointments to the Supreme Court.
In announcing the appointment, Father O'Connell praised Dean Kmiec's distinguished career in legal education and scholarship as well as in public service. "It is rare to find such a marvelous combination of scholarly productivity and professional legal experience in a single individual," Father O'Connell said. "Professor Kmiec is deeply respected by his peers within the legal community, including those whose perspective may differ from his own. His insights, expertise and government service have earned him an outstanding reputation that will certainly contribute to his success as dean of the Columbus School of Law at The Catholic University of America. He is uncommonly articulate about how a law school can be both authentically Catholic and of the highest academic quality."
In responding to his nomination, Professor Kmiec wrote to the Search Committee that "the dean's voice in any law school must be one of consistency, encouragement and high professional standard, allowing both students and the larger legal and academic community to see and experience the many-faceted talents of a diverse faculty. At Catholic, we have the special opportunity to combine the gift of faith with the work of reason in a pre-eminently vital location."
Members of the law school faculty uniformly agree that Dean Kmiec has the capacity to take the law school to new heights.
CUA Lawyer: What does it mean for you to be both Dean and the law school's new St. Thomas More Professor of Law?
CUA Lawyer: Tell us about your
For instance, we recently went to see the Phillips Collection. And we are big fans of the movies; though my children now resist my favorite black and whites and have caught on that Ronald Reagan wasn't really George Gipp. Having lived in Southern California, we are also fond of Mexican food, which is not as easy to find in D.C. - though we have a special place or two.

publications, but we must also be prepared to speak via the media, and in other forums, like conferences and before congressional committees.
CUA Lawyer: You're an expert in constitutional law and the position you held in the federal government was held by two men, Antonin Scalia and William Rehnquist, who are now Supreme Court Justices. Do you ever think about becoming a Supreme Court justice someday?
Dean Kmiec: What constitutional lawyer could say no to that? But I have no illusions. Being Catholic can be a liability for such things, but "blessed are the persecuted," right? Richard Rich, who perjured himself to gain the Attorney Generalship of Wales, was reminded by Thomas More that it profits a man nothing to sacrifice his faith for position. So, I certainly do not intend to do so. In any event, there is nothing in constitutional text or history that precludes such service should, by some remote chance, it come about. In comparison to St. Thomas, who sacrificed family, position, and life, itself, to maintain his integrity, forsaking a hope of court nomination is quite little.
CUA Lawyer: What past experiences have helped you the most in doing your work as a dean?
CUA Lawyer: Do you miss California?
CUA Lawyer: What are the best and worst parts of your job as dean?

I've just been reading a very interesting article on the BBC's online Magazine about German citizens who fought for Britain against Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
Its not the first time I have come across this story. In my research into the Battle of Arnhem, it transpires that a number of exiled German and Austrian Jews took part in the battle. Having fled Germany and settled in Britain, on the outbreak of war they were interned as enemy aliens – even Jews.
Gradually though, the assumption that all enemy nationals were hostile was re-evaluated. Many of those of Military service age were allowed to join the Pioneer Corps – the part of the Army that performs hard physical labour – easily the least glamorous Corps in the entire British Army.
Remarkably, many of the German and Austrian Pioneers were champing at the bit to get back at Hitler, and they soon realised that digging trenches and building roads was not enough. Some of them not only volunteered for the Parachute Regiment, but for the 21st Independent Company – the elite unit that landed first and marked out the Drop Zones for the rest of the Division.
According to Mark Hickman's Pegasus Archive, around 25 Germans and Austrians joined the Company. They were thought to be particularly useful due to their bilingual abilities and tenacious fighting skills. All of them fought under assumed names, to try and avoid the dire consequences if their true identities were discovered by the Germans.
Two of them died at Arnhem. Corporal Hans Rosenfeld, 29, was killed on 23 September. Rosenfeld fought under the assumed name of John Rodley, and is buried in Oosterbeek War Cemetery. Private Timothy Bleichroeder, 22, was killed on 25 September, the last day. He fought under the name of Bleach. He has no known grave, and is remembered on the Groesbeek Memorial.
These men were incredibly brave. Whilst it is often said that the average soldier is fighting for himself and his comrades, the German and Austrian anti-Nazis had an added motivation for wanting to see the end of the Nazi regime – most of them had suffered under their persecution. And for each of them, the consquences of being captured were acute. Not only would they have been shot out of hand as traitors, given their nationality, their status as Jews would have led them on a one-way journey to the concentration camps.
They more than anyone must have known why the Allies were fighting.
