Romney announces Polish American group
CNN Political Unit
(CNN) - In the wake of his visit to Poland, Mitt Romney on Tuesday announced he was forming Polish Americans for Romney.
"Polish Americans share the love of individual liberty that makes our country exceptional, prosperous, and free," Romney said in a statement announcing the group shortly after he departed Poland following a two-day trip. "This community has made tremendous contributions to America spanning business, science, and more."

The statement said former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty - who is of Polish and German ancestry - is among the group's co-chairs. Pawlenty was a former candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and has been suggested as a possible vice presidential pick for Romney - although Pawlenty has refused to discuss the process.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rep. Dan Benishek of Michigan, both of Polish descent, will also co-chair the group.
Romney visited Poland as part of a foreign trip which also took him to London and Israel over the last week.
In Warsaw on Tuesday, he said the U.S. draws inspiration from the people of Poland.
"Our nations belong to the great fellowship of democracies," Romney said. "We speak the same language of freedom and justice. We uphold the right of every person to live in peace. I believe it is critical to stand by those who have stood by America. Solidarity was a great movement that freed a nation. And it is with solidarity that America and Poland face the future."
Romney also landed well-wishes from Polish Solidarity movement leader Lech Walesa, who met with the candidate on Monday and was a founder of the first noncommunist government in the former Soviet bloc.

"Wait, African-American, Polish-American,Puerto Rican-American, Cuban-American, Mexican-American, Canadian-American, etc.... wow, a lot of hyphenated people. I think America has already been splitting with Obama for awhile, anti-gay, pro-gay, anti-abortion, pro-abortion, anti-rich, etc..... Seems to me Obama has done a good job getting us split."
BULLSH....it's the GOP/TEatrolls who have been enacting legislation on these issues, not Obama and the Dems. Gay marriage bans, bans and attempts to make it harder to get abortions, personahood amendments, Voter ID laws, redistricting to decrease the effect of growing minority populations, attacks on union rights, hearings in Conrgess attempting to shwo that all muslims are out to get us, defunding Planned Parenthood, trying to allow employers to tell their employees whether they can have insurance for contraception...the list is endless. AND NOT ONCE HAVE THEY ATTEMPTED TO PASS A JOBS BILL. And notice: all the crap I just listed is about taking away or attenuating peoples' rights...from the party that likes to claim its the last great defender of 'freedom'.
98 Days until Obama is THROWN OUT
ThinkAgain – Except, of course, if you are Iran, in which case we want to bomb you back to the Stone Age ...
News reports are that Obama already has the plans for it. Planes have been moved over, two aircraft carriers over there, etc. I guess when Obama does it you'll call it necessary and justified. But if Presdient Romney does it, it will war mongering.

Polish American group... really??? So Rommey goes to Poland and now he thinks he is an expert on our culture and beliefs? This is one hard working Polish American that will never vote for Rommey.

Mittler is now BFF's with some of those Euro socialists he always bad mouths. You know, people with health care? Trade unionists, for chrissakes! He's photographed smiling and shaking hands with people who are virtual commies, and I don't hear a peep out of the tightie righties. The teabaggers should be all over this one, but I don't even hear them making Polish jokes. What's wrong? Everybody on the right asleep?

Wakeup People, Israel and the Jewish people in America support President Obama and as long as they do President Obama will be the next President of the United States whether you like it or not. That Mountain is too tall for Romney to climb over.
Hey, Mitt, what did the tax audits turn up? Did you have to pay any additional taxes after you had filed your returns? Did you try to use one too many deductions like the $77,000 one for your horse. You do realize that your tax deduction for your horse was a good bit more than the average Amercian wage for an entire year, don't you?
Next thing you know, Mittler will say he likes French fries! He'll join the Union of the Super Rich. His favorite author will be Karl Marx. He'll buy his wife a pink Caddy.

I don't blame Romney for trying to make it look that the media has it in for him. He's deathly afraid of something, and I suspect it's his tax returns, which he's stonewalling. What could it be? He acknowledged that he's been audited "several" times. What did they find he doesn't want us to know? Did he end up having to pay a lot more than he'd originally filed? Did he pay a penalty, a fine? He wouldn't want us to know about that. Or it could be that it would show how he loaded his IRA or family trust with undervalued assets; its hard to see how either could have grown to 100 million any other way. Whatever it is, it must be bad, or he wouldn't be so adamant about keeping them secret. And we should be just as determined to find out: we deserve to know and we need to know.

Two Polish hunters stumble upon a set of tracks. The first hunter says, "Look! Deer tracks!" The second hunter kneels down, examines the tracks more closely, then concludes, "No, you're wrong. These are moose tracks."
The first hunter is visibly annoyed. "How can you call these moose tracks?!" he shouts. "These tracks were clearly left by a deer! A pregnant female, if I'm not mistaken."
"You can't tell if she's pregnant just from the tracks!" snaps the second hunter. "Besides, it's a moose! And it's not pregnant!"
"You can so tell if she's pregnant," replies the first. "The tracks are deeper in the ground because she's heavier."
"You're nuts!" yells the second. "Any experienced hunter will tell you that these tracks were made by a non-pregnant male moose!"
The two hunters continued arguing long into into the night. They relentlessly debated until the train ran over them.

Uh...ok.....I didn't realize there was such a signifigant Polish-American voting block out there.
There is an influential voting bloc in the swing states of the rust belt.
Why not have one group called whites for Romney? That will save a lot of time considering all of the countries in Europe.
The American People want to see mitt's tax returns for the past 20 years. We also want to know how many jobs he off-shored. And how much of those profits are sitting in off-shore account evading taxes.
Willard, now you're insulting hard-working Polish-American people!
Certifiably Insane for Obama - 2012 - Because We Need FOUR MORE YEARS LIKE THE LAST FOUR YEARS
Polish Americans know a failure when they see one. No more than 10 in the USA will vote for Obama.

Mitt was so afraid of any more questions about his tax returns, he had to fly to Europe. Like the old saying goes, if you can't stand the heat....
Romney = Bush 3 and that equates to another total economic collapse for this country.

ROMNEY IS FORMING THE GROUP???? I thought supporters formed a group based on liking the guy.
Maybe Obama should form a group of white old men with their heads up their butts for Obama- they can just call it the GOP. I'll bet their would be poeple that would see it as an endorsement and vote for him.

Show the American people your tax returns. No returns No vote! You are looking more slimy each day! And being BFFs with Dick Cheny is REAL CREEPY!


I think many Overlanders would agree: we don't much like city sightseeing. The traffic is difficult, parking can be hard to find, streets might be scarily narrow, and yep.... I reckon there's more thieves there too. So we skip alot of cities.
And often, when it comes to city sights it is just 'more of the same': another church, a plaza or market place, a park, several museums. The advantage of overlanding is that we aren't restricted to cities (whereas regular tourists often are), and we can visit the tiny villages, the rural countryside, the national parks and the scenic lookouts on our own schedule. Of course sometimes there is a city that really is worth visiting, and yesterday we did.
Presently we are free camped in a rest area beside the Moselle River, with Luxemburg on one side and Germany on the other. Yesterday we went to Trier (Germany).
We passed Trier a couple of weeks ago without stopping. I hadn't known it was worth visiting until I later read some information (free from a tourist office) about Roman Ruins in this part of the world. When I said I wanted to visit Trier, H grumbled: "it's a big city, i don't like cities". So we didn't go. But, I still wanted to so we came back.
It turned out to be easy enough. We parked in a large parking lot outside of the city centre (where there is a free motorhome toilet dump beside the McDonalds), and we cycled 5km in to see the sights. Thereby, we saved ourselves the stress of inner city driving, and got some exercise.
So, why visit Trier? Well, apparently it used to be the most important Roman city outside of Italy. The old city gates, Porta Nigra (photo below), are most impressive and the old bridge (photo below), which the Romans built in about AD200 is still used today (by regular traffic!), and there's an old ampitheatre, some remaining city walls, and massive excavations of Roman baths.
In this entire region there are lots of Roman finds. The tourist information offices give out a wonderful brochure, and, quiet frankly, I'm surprised that I only knew of this region as being famous for wine production, because it deserves equal credit for Roman ruins. And, by the way, it was the Romans who started the wine production here! Full credit to them.

Due to technical challenges, governor.guam.gov remains under maintenance but Adelup said a revamped, user-friendly website could be launched this week.
More than two months since Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero's inauguration, her official website has yet to post updated information about her administration – from her executive orders to Adelup's latest staffing pattern.
The Office of the Governor's website, www.governor.guam.gov, remains "under maintenance" as of Monday.
Janela Carrera, the governor's director of communication, said "technical issues" have delayed the official launch of a revamped website for the governor's office.
These technical challenges are expected to be fixed this week, she said.
Carrera said the new website, when launched, will have a revamped look and will be more user-friendly than it was.
The public, she said, would be able to access executive orders, requests for proposals, staffing pattern, copies of major speeches, live videos, public announcements from the governor's office, and the governor's public schedule, among other things, in line with the Leon Guerrero-Tenorio administration's goal of making the government transparent and accountable.
This is also in keeping with the new administration's goal of maximizing the use of modern technology to make the government more accessible, she said.
As of Monday, the governor and lieutenant governor also still don't have official social media accounts. Carrera said an official Facebook account will be launched soon.
Adelup has been aware that there are fake Facebook account users claiming to be the governor or lieutenant governor.
Frank L.G. Lujan, chief technology officer, said the Office of Technology has made sure that the infrastructure for an official website is readily available for every executive branch agency, and it's been up to each office or agency to update their official websites or upload new data.

Farnham Town Council invests in the town's cemeteries
The accessibility of West Street cemetery has been greatly improved following the completion of Farnham Town Council's programme of works to resurface cemetery footpaths.
The existing pathways have been edged and resurfaced and a new path has been laid by the Garden of Reflection.
Cllr Carole Cockburn, Lead Member for Cemeteries says: "As part of the ongoing maintenance of our cemeteries, we have spent £20,000 on improving the pathways. The paths are now much more even making it easier for people to move around the cemetery whether they be on foot, in a wheelchair or being pushed in a pram."
The footpaths at Badshot Lea and Hale cemeteries have already been upgraded. Work to improve the paths at Green Lane cemetery will take place later this year.

Longtime Alabama sheriff convicted on theft, ethics charges
Posted at 8:30 PM, August 2, 2021 and last updated 8:31 PM, August 2, 2021
ATHENS, Ala. (AP) — A longtime Alabama sheriff will be removed from office after jurors on Monday found him guilty of charges of theft and using his office for personal gain.
News outlets report that jurors convicted Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely of two counts but found him not guilty of eight others. Blakely was taken into custody, although he was not placed in handcuffs.
Sheriff Mike Blakely
Chief Deputy Attorney General Clay Crenshaw said Blakely will be immediately removed from office. The two convictions relate to accusations that Blakely borrowed money from a jail safe used to hold inmates' money and that he deposited campaign funds in his personal account.
"The attorney general's office is committed to ensuring the violators of the public trust be held accountable under the law," Crenshaw said, reading a statement from the Alabama attorney general's office.
"Today Sheriff Blakely has been held to account for felony violation of the Alabama ethics law as well as a theft charge."
Blakely defense lawyers told reporters that they will appeal.
Blakely, 70, took the stand to deny any wrongdoing.
Initially elected in 1982, Blakely told jurors he sometimes put campaign funds into his personal account because his campaign treasurer lived hours away and encouraged him to deposit the money as reimbursement for campaign expenses.
While testimony showed Blakely sometimes left IOUs and took money from a jail safe used to hold inmates' money, he said that wasn't a crime.
Blakely didn't deny gambling at casinos during trips to the Gulf Coast and Nevada for law enforcement conferences, but he said the outings didn't cost taxpayers extra and denied accusations that an employee sent him money because he was broke from losses.
Blakely was indicted in 2019, but the case was delayed several times because of reasons including the pandemic.


The present studies examine how failures in reality monitoring contribute to stereotype maintenance. In one study, subjects imagined members of occupational groups within specific contexts that could be relevant to a trait stereotypic of that group. Subjects tended to incorporate the stereotyped trait into the imagination. In another experiment, subjects read sentences that matched traits (stereotyped and nonstereotyped) with occupations with equal frequency. Subjects also imagined members of each occupation in situations relevant to particular stereotypic traits. In subsequent judgments of presentation frequency, subjects overestimated stereotypic occupation-trait combinations, replicating earlier studies. More importantly, subjects further overestimated the presentation frequency of imagined stereotypic combinations, indicating failure of subjects to distinguish between their imaginations and actual presentations. Thus, stereotype-based imaginings led to inflated association of groups with their stereotypic traits. The possible role this "imaginal confirmation" process may play in the maintenance of stereotypes is also discussed.

HO HON KA (何漢嘉) Defendant
(Consolidated by Order of Master Ho dated 6 October 2014)
Before: Hon Chow J in Court
Dates of Hearing: 6-9 December 2016
Date of Judgment: 10 January 2017
J U D G M E NT
1. Hon Piu (the plaintiff) and Hon Ka (the defendant) are brothers. Their mother passed away in 2010. Hon Piu claims that a property in North Point held in the name of Hon Ka, which was purchased in 1987 and sold in 1994, belonged beneficially to Hon Piu, Hon Ka and their mother in equal shares. Hon Piu further claims that another property in Chai Wan purchased in 1992 originally in the joint names of Hon Ka and their mother and currently held in the sole name of Hon Ka is also beneficially owned by the three of them in equal shares. On the other hand, Hon Ka claims that:-
(1) their mother's will, executed in 2007, in which she gave the whole of her residuary estate to Hon Piu, is invalid because (a) it was not properly executed by her and/or (b) of her lack of understanding of its contents; alternatively
(2) the disposition in favour of Hon Piu under that will is invalid because the will was witnessed by his wife (and one other person).
2. The principal issues which I have to determine are as follows:-
(1) whether the North Point Property belonged beneficially to Hon Piu, Hon Ka and their mother in equal shares;
(2) whether the Chai Wan Property belongs beneficially to Hon Piu, Hon Ka and the estate of their mother in equal shares; and
(3) whether the mother's will, alternatively the disposition in favour of Hon Piu under that will, is invalid.
Background facts
3. At the trial, Hon Piu, his wife ("Sai Mui") and Hon Ka gave oral evidence. In addition, the parties agreed that a witness statement made by Sai Mui's younger sister ("Sai Chun") could be admitted as evidence without cross examination. In what follows, I shall set out what I understand to be undisputed background facts, save where otherwise expressly indicated.
(i) Family background
4. Mr Ho (the father) and Madam Chan (the mother) had two sons, namely, Hon Piu (born in 1947) and Hon Ka (born in 1950).
5. In the 1960s, the Ho family was not financially well off. Mr Ho did not work because of ill health. Madam Chan worked as a dish cleaner. Both Hon Piu and Hon Ka received primary education only and started to work to support the family since about 1963/64.
6. In around 1965, the Ho family moved into a public housing unit in Chai Wan.
7. Prior to 1967, Hon Piu worked as a messenger. In April 1967, Hon Piu joined the police force and became a police officer. He retired from the police force as a sergeant in April 2003.
8. On the other hand, in the 1960s, Hon Ka worked as an electrical apprentice. Later, he worked in different trades in Hong Kong and the Mainland until around 1994 when he became a taxi driver. Hon Ka has been working as a taxi driver up to now although, because of his current ill health, he has temporarily ceased working.
9. Mr Ho passed away in 1974.
10. Hon Piu and Sai Mui got married in 1977. Soon after their marriage, they moved to live in police married quarters in North Point.
11. In around 1989, Madam Chan retired.
12. In 1991, Hon Ka remarried in the Mainland. Hon Ka's wife and their two daughters came to Hong Kong in about mid-1997, and they lived together with Madam Chan in the Chai Wan Property (more particularly described below).
13. In January 2010, Madam Chan passed away.
(ii) The purchase of the North Point Property
14. On 20 February 1987, Sai Mui signed a provisional agreement as agent for Hon Ka for the purchase of a property known as Flat C, 11/F, Ka Fook Court, Bedford Gardens, 151 Tin Hau Temple Road, Hong Kong ("the North Point Property") at the price of HK$519,000. In that provisional agreement, the name of the purchaser was stated to be "Ho Hon Chiu", an alias of "Ho Hon Ka". "Ho Hon Ka" was also named as the purchaser in the subsequent formal sale and purchase agreement dated 4 March 1987 and assignment dated 8 May 1987.
15. As stated in the provisional agreement, an initial deposit of HK$10,000 was paid to the vendor upon the signing of that agreement, and a further deposit of HK$41,900 was payable upon the signing of the formal sale and purchase agreement on or before 4 March 1987.
16. In relation to the purchase of the North Point Property, a mortgage loan of HK$467,100 was obtained in the name of Hon Ka from HSBC repayable over a period of 15 years.
17. After the purchase of the North Point Property, it was let to three sisters of Sai Mui, namely, Sai Chun, Sai Hing and Sai Ha initially at the rent of HK$2,500 per month which was subsequently increased to HK$3,000 per month in around 1991.
(iii) The purchase of the Chai Wan Property
18. On 2 May 1992, Madam Chan and Hon Ka entered into a formal agreement for the purchase of Flat J, 11/F, Block 3, Fullview Garden, 18 Siu Sai Wan Road, Hong Kong ("the Chai Wan Property"), a Home Ownership Scheme flat, as joint tenants at the price of HK$750,700. As stated in the formal agreement, a deposit of HK$37,535 was paid upon the signing of that agreement, and the balance of the purchase price in the sum HK$713,165 was payable upon completion.
19. The purchase of the Chai Wan Property was completed on 29 March 1993. It was used as Madam Chan and Hon Ka's residence. According to Hon Piu and Sai Mui, Madam Chan and Hon Ka moved in to the Chai Wan Property on 15 March 1993. On the other hand, Hon Ka said that they moved in after completion of the purchase of the Chai Wan Property, which took place on 29 March 1993.
(iv) The sale of the North Point Property
20. On 21 February 1994, Sai Mui entered into a provisional agreement as agent for Hon Ka for the sale of the North Point Property at the price of HK$2,400,000. Out of the proceeds of sale, approximately HK$400,000 was used to discharge the outstanding mortgage loan in relation to the North Point Property, and HK$800,000 was used to discharge the outstanding mortgage loan in relation to the Chai Wan Property, leaving a balance of HK$1,200,000. The sale of the North Point Property was completed on 31 March 1994.
21. Out of the balance of HK$1,200,000, Hon Ka paid HK$200,000 to Hon Piu. Hon Piu's case is that the HK$200,000 represented a portion of his entitlement to the proceeds of sale of the North Point Property, whereas Hon Ka's case is that he...

A Peoria Heights dentist who cares about the smile is an important professional to have in one's life. Dentists are concerned for the wellness of one's oral health. They want patients to build a proper foundation of good dental care techniques and habits to ensure a lifetime of beautiful smiles. Drs. Jeffrey S. Whitson and Gary Cunningham of Peoria Heights, Illinois encourage patients and families to visit the practice to learn about reconstructive dentistry. Restorations such as dental implants are growing in popularity as an option for replacing missing teeth.
Missing teeth can be a problem for patients of all ages. When natural adult teeth have been lost, they cause patients to feel self-conscious about their smile when there is a noticeable gap. Patients may have trouble speaking and eating properly depending on how many teeth have been lost. Additionally, bone loss can occur, causing the remaining teeth to become loose. Drs. Jeffrey S. Whitson and Gary Cunningham often suggest dental implants for patients who are missing one or more teeth from the dental arch.
Dental implants are titanium restorations. They look like small hardware screws and are surgically placed into the bone of the jaw. They stimulate the process of osseointegration which is the growth of bone. This bone helps solidify the restoration in place and make it stronger than any other treatment option available. Dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a wonderful investment for many of our patients considering permanent tooth replacement solutions.
Drs. Jeffrey S. Whitson and Gary Cunningham are dentists in the Peoria Heights, IL area who are excited to provide patients with the placement and restoration of dental implants. If you are interested in learning about dental implants and your candidacy, we encourage you to make an appointment at our family-friendly practice. Call us at (309) 688-7321 or visit our facility at 924 E. Glen Avenue. We welcome new and existing patients and families into our practice and want to help children and adults achieve and maintain their oral health and wellness for years to come!

Q: How to rotate a surface in pygame, without changing its shape I'm writing a class in pygame to create a sprite object, and I'd like to be able to rotate it. It works fine with an image, and rotates without issue. But when rotating a surface with a plain colour, the box appears to grow and shrink. I know that this is a result of the surface changing size to fit the vertices of the rectangle inside, but how do I stop it? I'd like to see a visual rotation.
I've created some sample code to show the problem that I'm facing, running it causes the box to simply change in size.
import sys, pygame
from pygame.locals import *

pygame.init()
SCREEN = pygame.display.set_mode((200, 200))
CLOCK  = pygame.time.Clock()

surface = pygame.Surface((50 , 50))
surface.fill((0, 0, 0))
rotated_surface = surface
rect = surface.get_rect()
angle = 0

while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

    SCREEN.fill((255, 255, 255))
    angle += 5
    rotated_surface = pygame.transform.rotate(surface, angle)
    rect = rotated_surface.get_rect(center = (100, 100))
    SCREEN.blit(rotated_surface, (rect.x, rect.y))

    pygame.display.update()
    CLOCK.tick(30)

How do I fix this issue, to make the surface rotate how I want?
Any help would be appreciated!

A: You have to create the Surface objects you create to stamp on the display surface in a way they use transparency information (That is - they have to have an alpha channel).
To do that, is just a question of passing the appropriate flag when creating your surface objects - simply replace this:
surface = pygame.Surface((50 , 50))

with:
surface = pygame.Surface((50 , 50), pygame.SRCALPHA)

and it should work.

Most copper in the home is found in the installation of copper water supply pipes, usually either 1/2- or 3/4-inch in diameter. Before joining the pipe sections together, the pipes are cut to length. This is achieved through the use of a metal cutting blade on either a circular saw or angle grinder, a hacksaw or a tubing cutter. If working with thin copper sheets, they are best cut to size using metal cutting sheers.
Copper pipe can be cut using a tubing cutter or hacksaw.
Metal cutting blades come in sizes to fit either angle grinders or circular saws. Because the grinder blade is smaller on the angle grinder -- with a higher revolution speed than the circular saw -- it is easier to get into confined spaces to cut previously-installed copper pipes. As is the case with all copper pipe cutting, the water supply is turned off first before cutting commences. Also, if the pipes are to be reused, the angle of the cut must be straight and perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the pipe.
The hacksaw is a type of hand-driven saw with a very thin blade. The saw blade's teeth are very small, so they easily cut into the copper pipe's surface. However, like using the circular saw/angle grinder, the cut's angle is important if the pipe will be reused. Due to the thinness of the blade, a straight cut is easily ensured only after much practice.
When used properly, the tubing cutter ensures a clean straight cut through the copper pipe. The pipe is rested against the two small rollers on one side of the cutter's jaws. A small circular blade on the other side of the cutter's jaws tightens to the pipe's other side. After one 360-degree rotation around the pipe. the cutter's blade is re-tightened before another full rotation occurs. These steps are repeated until the pipe is cut through.
These sheers look somewhat like household scissors in design, but the two cutting blades are more robust for heavier work. Once the copper sheet has been marked where it needs to be cut, the sheers' blades are positioned on each side of the sheet -- as would be regular scissors when cutting paper. The sheers' handles are brought together to cut through the sheet. Work gloves must be worn during the cutting process, as the cutting edge of the copper is very sharp.

For a second consecutive night, protesters took to the streets of Oakland on Sunday to challenge Mayor Libby Schaaf's policy of cracking down on unlawful nighttime marches in an effort to prevent protest-related violence and vandalism.
More than 100 demonstrators — including several people in the faith community — gathered at Oakland's Frank Ogawa Plaza at 8 p.m., speaking their minds on a range of issues concerning oppression before marching several blocks to the Oakland Police Department, chanting along the way. They turned back toward the plaza after being blocked on Broadway by police on motorcycles.
For Oakland's artists, The Flight Deck, an arts and performance venue, is an open home. But for one theater group in particular, the space means much more than that. Tucked away in the back of The Flight Deck, Gritty City Repertory Theater prepares for their newest play, while its founder, Lindsay Krumbein, is preparing to play the role of company manager, ticket seller and costume designer.
San Quentin's Death Row is home to some of the state's most notorious criminals, but the prison may be running out of room for them, prompting Governor Jerry Brown to ask for millions of dollars to pay for more cells.
The governor is asking the State Legislature for $3.2 million to open 97 more cells on death row.
After two long years of fighting; the Palo Alto City Council could decide the future of the city's only mobile home park Tuesday. On November 12, 2012, the owner of the Buena Vista Mobile Home Park submitted an application to close the Park.
Since then, residents have fought the closure of the mobile home park, located in the 3900 block of El Camino Real. According to the Friends of Buena Vista website, closing the mobile home park would result in the single greatest displacement of Palo Altans in the town's history. About 400 people would lose their homes.
On March 2, the city of Oakland raised its minimum wage by 36%. At $12.25 per hour, the new wage is the highest in the country — for now. San Francisco matched this wage on May 1, and Emeryville will leapfrog both cities in July.
The wage increase was voted into law last November as a part of Measure FF. Over 80% of Oakland residents supported the measure. And while all Oakland businesses are now required to abide by the new wage, conversations about its benefits and repercussions have been most active in the restaurant industry.

I found the experience at the Townsville Probation and Parole Centre very informative and it was interesting learning the role and day to day practicality of the Probation and Parole Office.
Being a third year law student, it helped a lot to understand the impact of being placed on a community service, probation or parole order. I now have knowledge on how the process works, and the general obligations of parties placed on these orders. Additionally, I learnt about the consequences of not abiding by the orders, and how the probation and parole staff truly want to help people successfully complete their orders.
During my day spent with Townsville Probation and Parole, I attended the Magistrates Court where I was able to gain a good understanding of the process that links the work conducted by the Queensland Police Service in charging perpetrators of crimes, and how the courts administer the laws and provide sentences. It was interesting to see how this then flows into an offender's community supervision with the involvement of Probation and Parole. Following on from the court process I was able to shadow Probation and Parole staff, where I witnessed the induction of offenders who had been placed on community based orders.
I saw how officers assess risk and interact with offenders coming straight from the courts. I also saw offenders undertaking their general reporting requirements, officers interacting with offenders, and witnessed how they obtain information relevant to the management of the offender. I also observed how information is recorded, stored and utilised by officers when preparing for interactions with offenders.
"I now understand that Queensland Corrective Services play a vital role in the criminal justice system and their goal of protecting the community while striving to support each offender to address their behavior and to break the cycles that see them returning to the justice system."
I was shown the Operational Practice Guidelines that provide Probation and Parole staff with their framework for the delivery of their service to offenders and the accountability that each officer works under. I now understand that Queensland Corrective Services play a vital role in the criminal justice system and their goal of protecting the community while striving to support each offender to address their behavior and to break the cycles that see them returning to the justice system.
Before the experience I was oblivious to all the levels behind being placed on an order and the background work involved in each offender's order undertaken by the office.
Similarly, I was unaware that Probation and Parole staff sit in on each court hearing prior to an order being made, to then meet with the person at the end of the case and explain their obligations.

miRNA-132 induces hepatic steatosis and hyperlipidaemia by synergistic multitarget suppression (2018)
Hanin, G., Yayon, N., Tzur, Y., Haviv, R., Bennett, E. R., Udi, S., Krishnamoorthy, Y. R., Kotsiliti, E., Zangen, R., Efron, B., Tam, J., Pappo, O., Shteyer, E., Pikarsky, E., Heikenwalder, M., Greenberg, D. S., Soreq, H.

In: Gut
Description: Objective Both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the multitarget complexity of microRNA (miR) suppression have recently raised much interest, but the in vivo impact and context-dependence of hepatic miR-target interactions are incompletely understood. Assessing the relative in vivo contributions of specific targets to miR-mediated phenotypes is pivotal for investigating metabolic processes. Design We quantified fatty liver parameters and the levels of miR-132 and its targets in novel transgenic mice overexpressing miR-132, in liver tissues from patients with NAFLD, and in diverse mouse models of hepatic steatosis. We tested the causal nature of miR-132 excess in these phenotypes by injecting diet-induced obese mice with antisense oligonucleotide suppressors of miR-132 or its target genes, and measured changes in metabolic parameters and transcripts. Results Transgenic mice overexpressing miR-132 showed a severe fatty liver phenotype and increased body weight, serum low-density lipoprotein/very low-density lipoprotein (LDL/VLDL) and liver triglycerides, accompanied by decreases in validated miR-132 targets and increases in lipogenesis and lipid accumulation-related transcripts . Likewise, liver samples from both patients with NAFLD and mouse models of hepatic steatosis or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) displayed dramatic increases in miR-132 and varying decreases in miR-132 targets compared with controls. Furthermore, injecting diet-induced obese mice with anti-miR-132 oligonucleotides, but not suppressing its individual targets, reversed the hepatic miR-132 excess and hyperlipidemic phenotype. Conclusions Our findings identify miR-132 as a key regulator of hepatic lipid homeostasis, functioning in a context-dependent fashion via suppression of multiple targets and with cumulative synergistic effects. This indicates reduction of miR-132 levels as a possible treatment of hepatic steatosis.

Samsung Galaxy A50 review
Moto Z2 stops by Geekbench to prove it has the Snapdragon 835 and 4GB of RAM
Vlad 07 June 2017
Motorola Android
While Motorola has already unveiled the Moto Z2 Play at the beginning of this month, that can't be said for the Moto Z2 or the Z2 Force. These upcoming models (which may just be one and the same, by the way) are still not official. And so it's good to see one of them in a benchmark's database, since it means we're fast approaching its release.
It's the Moto Z2 this time around, and it was spotted in the database of Geekbench. This means someone in possession of a prototype has run that benchmark, and this has resulted in a few of its specs being outed.
The Moto Z2 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835, unsurprisingly. This will be aided by 4GB of RAM. The phone runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat, so we should expect it to launch with that version of the OS. Based on past rumors, we assume the Z2 will have a dual rear camera setup, while an image leak has shown us that there's going to be a dual-LED flash for the selfie camera and a front-mounted fingerprint sensor. Unfortunately it's still unclear when Motorola plans to launch this device.
Moto Z2 Play goes official along with new Moto Mods
Android 7.1.1 update hitting Motorola Moto Z Play, soak test begins for Moto X Play in India
Motorola Moto C goes on sale, costs $95
Motorola Moto E4 tipped to launch July 17, Canadian pricing revealed as well

Yeah, let's see when Motorola intende to launch the Z2.

Edgar Berlanga Calls Out Caleb Plant: "Let Me Know When You Ready To Get Kissed By These Fist"
Although Edgar Berlanga is still making a name for himself in the super middleweight division, The Athletic's 2020 prospect of the year appears to be ready to take a humongous leap forward.
In what many expected to be a one-sided affair, IBF titlist Caleb Plant dominated former belt holder Caleb Truax at the Shrine Exposition Center, in Los Angeles California. At no point during their showdown did Plant find himself even remotely in any sort of trouble. Despite winning every single round, Berlanga was seemingly unimpressed with his efforts.
In fact, the hard puncher from New York City even offered to take on Plant whenever he would like.
"That fight was cute," said Plant via Twitter. "Let me know when you ready to get kissed by these fist."
For Berlanga, if he were somehow able to skip the line and jump right into a contest with Plant, it would be considered a major step up in competition for the 23-year-old.
At the moment, Berlanga (16-0, 16 KOs) has yet to face anyone in the top 15 of the 168-pound division, let alone someone the caliber of Plant. But while Berlanga is still attempting to build his resume, he has seemingly captured the attention of most of the boxing public. The reason for his growing fanbase is simple, the Puerto Rican native hits unbelievably hard.
Currently, Berlanga has yet to find an opponent who can make it out of the first round. Regardless of the quick outcomes of his contests, Berlanga has stated on numerous occasions that he is more than just a power puncher.
Although he may have called for a showdown with Plant (21-0, 12 KOs), the IBF champion has his eyes set on WBA, WBC and Ring magazine titlist, Canelo Alvarez. With Plant successfully defending his world title last night, and with Alvarez penciled in to take on mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim followed by WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders, the two are seemingly headed towards an undisputed matchup should everything fall into place.
As for what's next for Berlanga, he has set his sights on a possible showdown with fringe contender Gabe Rosado.

Rory Jacobs — 10-Year-Old Benchrest Phenom
We all know that young people are the future of our sport. Well here's a tale of a talented young shooter who is already "running with the Big Dogs" at the ripe old age of 10 years. Rory Jacobs, son of Forum member Tom Jacobs, recently competed at the IBS 600-yard Nationals in St. Louis. Rory won the Junior Nationals title and placed 14th in the Two-Gun Overall, finishing ahead of dozens of highly skilled adult shooters with decades of experience. Among all shooters (of any age) at the Nationals, Rory had the sixth-best Heavy Gun score and placed seventh overall in Heavy Gun. This kid has talent, that's for sure. Of course, it helps to have a father who runs a shooting range. The Jacobs family owns and operates the Vapor Trail Valley Shooting Range, www.vaportrailvalleyllc.com, near Trenton, Missouri.
That handsome rifle was smithed by Jay Cutright, and stocked by Tom Meredith (the stock is one of Tom's). The rifle features a BAT action and Benchmark barrel chambered in 6mm Dasher (.270″ neck) . At the Nationals, Rory shot Berger bullets pushed by Alliant Reloder 15 powder and CCI 450 primers. The front rest is from Randolph Machine.
Rory Began Shooting at Age Three
Rory started shooting and hunting at a very young age. He got his first .22LR rimfire rifle when he was three years old, and he started going on hunting trips with his father at the same young age. Within a few years he was a skilled hunter, harvesting a turkey and a couple of deer at age 6. When he was very young, his father took him prairie dog shooting several times. That's when Rory got "hooked" on long-range shooting. He got involved in competitive shooting at age 9 at some rimfire "fun matches". He moved up to the big leagues a year later, entering his first IBS match this spring (2012). Amazingly, at his first-ever IBS 600-yard match, Rory won Light Gun class overall and he posted the best LG group aggregate. Not bad for a 10-year-old! And how many folks, young or old, can boast that they won their first-ever benchrest match? This kid's a natural. Not surprisingly, he is currently leading the IBS in the race for Junior 600-yard Shooter of the Year.
A well-rounded young man, Rory has a variety of interests. Along with shooting, Rory enjoys woodworking and he plays in a summer baseball league. He's a modest, church-going youngster, whose character impressed all those who met him in St. Louis at the Nationals. When asked what he liked most about the National Championship experience, Rory replied: "I liked spending time with my dad, and I really liked helping other people." Rory added: "The ride home in Gene Ford's motorhome was cool." The video shows Rory shooting at 600 yards.

Match Report: NIOA Savage Cup in Australia
Report by Ian Pavy (aka "ThunderDownunder" in Forum)
The NIOA Savage Cup for F-TR was held in South Australia at the SARA Lower Light range on the last weekend in September 2012. The three day event covered eight ranges from 300 to 800 metres. It was a history making competition being the first time ever in Australia that F-TR was included into a State Championship, (Queens) event.
CLICK HERE for Savage Cup Results.
Prior to the event, Australian team trials were conducted under the watchful eye of the Team Captain, Linda Shehan. Next year, Australia will be sending a F-Open and F-TR team to Raton, New Mexico for the F-Class World Championships. The formation and inclusion of F-TR has been supported by the NRAA and is a great step forward for Australia's inclusion into international F-Class events. Those of us that make it into the team look forward to meeting up with our international friends, a lot of whom we got to know through the AccurateShooter.com Forum. Look out guys the Aussies are coming over to compete!
Alan Seaman Tops Field
The NIOA Savage Cup had as first prize a Savage F-TR rifle so it was a hard fought competition with Alan Seaman, (Gosford Rifle Club) taking the prize and the honor of being the first winner in a F-TR championship event in Australia. Alan's aggregate score of 456.25 was well ahead of Ian Pavy, (Murray Bridge Rifle Club) and Greg Warrian, (Tumut Rifle Club) who both scored 438. Ian won second place on X-count over Greg in third place. These two shooters seesawed back and forth over the three days of competition.
Alan showed remarkable wind reading skills over the three days which included winds up to 50 kph and at times heavy mirage. Alan may be wind coaching the Aussie F T/R team at Raton and from what I have seen we could not be in better hands. Alan's score of 456.25 would have placed him third outright in F-Open. Scoring Note: The Savage Cup featured an ICFRA target with 6 as the highest ring count and a half-MOA X-ring. The Australian system of 60 points for ten shots can be equated to American scoring (100 points for ten shots) by adding 40 to each Aussie range score.

How Bullets are Made — Inside Look at the Barnes Factory
Barnes Bullets has produced some videos showing the processes used to make Barnes' popular TSX (all-copper), Match Burner (lead-core, copper jacket), and Varmint Grenade (copper jacket, powdered metal core) bullets.
Drawing Copper Wire for TSX Bullets
The first video features the TSX. These all-copper bullets start by drawing and cutting solid copper wire into slugs. The material is first drawn down to the correct diameter and then cut to the proper weight on a large industrial shear press. Great care is taken to ensure the most consistent weight possible. The machines are checked frequently. The video below show how copper wire is sized (in the first black box on the green machine) and then travels over a series of rollers to the cutting station.
Extruding Lead Wire for Bullet Cores
The second video shows the extrusion of lead core material for Barnes' Originals and Match Burner bullets. First, soft lead is melted into 16″ long by 2 ½" round ingots. The ingots are then fed into a large steel tube and hydraulically forced through a cone at about 3500 psi, producing lead wire. This extrusion process makes the lead wire to the correct diameter. The lead wire is then fed into a cutter that chops it into the correct weight. After cutting, the lead cores are sorted and again fed into the bullet presses.
Powdered Metal Mixing for Varmint Grenade Bullets
The third video shows the mixing of metal for the composite cores in Varmint Grenade bullets. This powdered metal core is one reason why Varmint Grenades fragment so explosively on impact. The core for these bullets (identical to the MPG bullet) is made from a very fine copper and tin powder. After mixing, the metal powder matrix is fed via the hopper into the Fetta press. This machine then feeds the powder into a chamber where it is compressed into a solid core that can be put into a copper jacket. In the video, the powdered metal is fed into the machine on the left. It's a bit difficult to see, but there is a bottom punch that matches each top punch. The two punches come together to form the core.
This is a very expensive, high-output machine. Fully tooled and set at a reasonable speed, it can make upwards of 90,000 cores per hour!

For this project I wanted to discover and uncover the history of the word taboo and how some cultures actions and rituals others could perceive as taboo. The word originates from Polynesia where they call it "Tapu" or "Kapu", meaning forbidden, sacred or banned from general use. I wanted the work to reflect this culture; therefore I looked at various aspects of Polynesian life such as the Tattoo and the Tapa cloth. I then went on to produce a series of five icons depicting various rituals that are still preformed to this day from cultures all around the world. I was inspired by the symbolism used in India, Polynesia, West Africa and in particular Native America.
The drawstring bag features a Tapa cloth inspired print, which holds the five wooden pendants, the purpose of this is to reflect the art of making Tapa cloth, which is made from tree bark. The six cards come with a description of each ritual along with a card that explains the meaning of the symbology. The idea is to match the card to the pendant using the description and symbology card as a guide.

Le intenzioni dello scienziato sono di dirigersi a Itsa Faka, antica città persiana, e tramite una formula, far tornare in vita gli abitanti polverizzati. Riesce nell'intento, ma il Re Nevvawaza (nella prima edizione italiana noto con il nome di Borombo 78°) convinto che Paperino sia la reincarnazione del Principe Cad Alì Cad, cerca di farlo sposare con sua figlia Needa Bara Soapa. Ciò non rende molto felice il papero, anche perché la principessa è davvero orribile e grassa.

Qui, Quo e Qua con un rituale, portano in vita il vero principe e il sovrano decide una sfida fra i due che decreterà il futuro marito della ragazza, il duello avverrà il giorno seguente. I nipoti cercano di far fuggire lo zio ma riusciranno solo a far fuggire il principe. Prima di celebrare le nozze vengono interrotti dallo stesso scienziato che riuscì a far tornare in vita la gente, che ora minaccia la razza terrestre con un terribile vapore che polverizza chiunque ne venga a contatto. Paperino però rompe l'ampolla contenente il gas, che porta di nuovo alla morte gli abitanti di Itsa Faka, lo scienziato, e lo stesso Cad Alì Cad, tornato nella reggia perché spaventato dai cambiamenti avvenuti durante il tempo passato dalla disidratazione.

I paperi riescono così a fuggire.

Alice Through the Looking Glass Partners with Grammy- Award Winning Pink
When I first heard Pink sing the remake of "White Rabbit", I knew immediately that I was going to love this movie!
Walt Disney Studios is partnering with three-time GRAMMY®-winning singer/songwriter P!nk on the studio's upcoming release "Alice Through the Looking Glass."
P!nk will write and record an original song which will appear in the film and on the motion picture soundtrack from Walt Disney Records featuring four-time Academy Award® nominee Danny Elfman's score. She has also recorded a cover version of the iconic song "White Rabbit" for the film's marketing campaign.
"Alice Through the Looking Glass" is an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll's beloved stories which stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, Rhys Ifans, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen

I still haven't seen teh first one, the costumes, set designs, and graphics look amazing!
Brenda G. says
I know Johnny Depp never disappoints!
I never read the books but the Alice in Wonderland movies are good. Tim Burton is one of the best directors in my opinion.
christina moore says
I have not seen this movie, it would be great for the granddaughter
Terri Irvin says
I love the story of Alice in Wonderland. The idea of Pink, who is such a pure talent, singing and writing a original song for the movie, is fantastic. I can't wait to hear it.
I love Pinks rendition of White Rabbit and can't wait to hear what she comes up with for the original song she is planning.

Oboga este satul de reședință al comunei cu același nume din județul Olt, Oltenia, România. Se află în partea de vest a județului, la contactul dintre Podișul Oltețului și Câmpia Romanați.

Astăzi în județul Olt mai există trei centre în care se practică olăritul: Oboga, Româna și Corbeni.

În Oboga se face atât ceramică smălțuită, cât și nesmălțuită. Se lucrează taiere (farfurii întinse), străchini, căni de apă, de vin, putine, tămâielnițe, castroane, sacsii, borcane pentru păstrarea alimentelor, ploști, servicii de țuică și cafea, jucării, figurine, ulcioare de nuntă cu reprezentări zoomorfe și avimorfe, și chiar vase antropomorfe, asemănătoare cu cele preistorice.

În munca lor, meșterii olari din Oboga folosesc exclusiv uneltele de tradiție veche: cornul de vită, cu ajutorul căruia se decorează vasele, plotogul (o bucățică din piele, cu care este netezită marginea vaselor), fichiașul din lemn (folosit la finisarea vaselor în partea exterioară), titirezul (o unealtă din lemn, cu ajutorul căreia este încrețită marginea taierelor), pana de gâscă și paiul (utilizate pentru a realiza un decor foarte fin), țâțarul (unealta cu care se face țâța la ulcioare).

Pentru arderea ceramicii, în Oboga se utilizează un tip de cuptor cu vatra organizată ca o masă, având două guri de foc și marginile dinspre guri ale vetrei tăiate oblic (GODEA 1995, 51).

Where is our basic Freedom of Speech, why the exclusion?
Is there a hidden agenda here?
Just yesterda, I read that Elizabeth May, Green Party Leader Canada was excluded from the televised debates that will take place. May is understandably in shock.
Marco Dubé, a spokesman for the broadcast consortium that hosts the debates, confirmed the group decided unanimously that a formal proposal will only be made to the leaders of recognized parties in the House of Commons — Conservative, Liberal, NDP and Bloc Québécois (http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/2011/03/elizabeth-may-should-the-green-party-leader-be-invited-to-the-tv-debates.html).
Consortium spokesman Marco Dube said Tuesday only the four leaders whose parties are represented in the House of Commons Conservative, Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois have been invited to take part.
May issued a statement saying the consortium is flat wrong to exclude her.
"They have no grounds to stand on,"she said. "They are making up the rules to please Stephen Harper and Jack Layton. It's juvenile, old-boys stuff." She said democracy is the victim.
It seems like history is repeating itself. In 2008, the consortium reversed a decision to exclude May after Harper and Layton backed off a threatened boycott should the Green leader be given airtime, and she took part in the federal debate for the first time (http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/greens-elizabeth-may-will-fight-broadcasters-decision-to-ditch-her-from-debate-118927234.html). May put in a feisty performance, proving to be an effective thorn in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's side. That helped propel her party to its best-ever electoral showing just over 937,00 votes, or 6.8 per cent of the total but none of its candidates, including Wilson and May, were elected (http://www.fm96.com/channels/newsinfo/localnews/Story.aspx?id=1393406).
According to the editorial in the Ottawa Sun, the broadcast consortium has every right to choose which leaders it invites to its televised debates. The choice not to invite Elizabeth May was a bad one.
Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff believes that May should be present at the debates. The Bloc Party is quite willing to leave the decision to the broadcasters while the NDP spokeswoman, Kathleen Monk initially said the decision was up to the consortium, but issued a later statement saying her party has no problem if May is in the debate. Monk added, however, that the rules should be consistent. "While we do not have a vote at the consortium, we think it would benefit the process to have clear criteria so that this matter is dealt with fairly" (http://www.fm96.com/channels/newsinfo/localnews/Story.aspx?id=1393406). I read elsewhere that NDP leader Jack Layton said he supports May's inclusion and Prime Minister Stephen Harper has suggested he's not opposed.
May is not taking this lying down. She is determined to be at the debates. She has a lot of support from people who believe that she has a right to be there. Some believe that she is a great alternative to the traditional party leaders. May receives 10% of the popular vote. May is appealing to the public to help fight the decision issued by the Canadian Broadcasting Consortium to bar her from the debates. She says the consortium is even refusing to let her know when and where they are being held.
An independent television station, Channel Zero, has offered to host a debate that includes May, saying the decision to leave her out is "just plain wrong" (http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/greens-elizabeth-may-will-fight-broadcasters-decision-to-ditch-her-from-debate-118927234.html).
Let us be vocal in our anger at the Consortium's exclusion of Elizabeth May and stand with her as she fights this bad decision. This was an undemocaratic move. Take action! Let's send a message in this election to the other political parties that this slap in the face will not be tolerated. It is against everything we stand for in this country. Everyone has to be treated fairly.
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I don't have any events planned in Elizabeth May's support. I hope today's decision to include her in the debate is a favorable one because it is the right thing to do.
The current government shows a lack of leadership by not speaking out against the decision which excluded May's party from electoral debates.
Hello, I'm a youth vote coordinator for the Green Party of Canada.
As you probably know, Elizabeth May has been excluded from the leadership debates. We think excluding the only female leader is outrageous and expect to have several events around this issue. Can we call on your group for support in these events? If so, how should we contact you from planned and short-notice events? Her case will be heard Tuesday so a prompte response would be appreciated.

Q: mysql fulltext returning odd values I am trying to create a search tool that takes a text field that can contain some or all of a title, one or more author names in any order, and terms in the abstract and tries to find the most likely publication that the user is looking for.  But the rankings being returned are off.
Even if the text entered is word for word the beginning of the title, if I order by the MATCH results the ideal result is no where near the top of the results.
Any thoughts on a better solution for creating an accurate ranking of results?

The Golden State Warriors made history this year winning their 73rd regular season game to become the first team in NBA history to win that many games in a single season. The feat eclipses the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls mark of 72 wins, a team that featured current Warriors head coach Steve Kerr playing alongside Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.
Golden State head coach Steve Kerr played for the Chicago Bulls during the Phil Jackson years. It was there Kerr learned the intricacies of the famous Triangle Offense from its very creator, Fred "Tex" Winter, who was Jackson's long-time assistant in Chicago and later with the Los Angeles Lakers. Running the Triangle, the Bulls and Lakers won a combined 11 NBA championships.
You won't see the Warriors running the full-fledged Triangle, but you will notice many nuances of the offense Kerr has taken from being a long-time pupil of Winter, who at the age of 94, is assuredly keeping close watch on his student during the playoff run.
You will see the Triangle run as Tex drew it up with Bethany College in Lindsborg, as coach Clair Oleen is a steadfast disciple of the offense.
In her book, Coach Tex Winter: Triangle Basketball, celebrating its 10th anniversary since being released, author Ann Parr introduces readers to another side of Tex – the star athlete, family man, teacher, leader, and respected coach. Ann's late husband, Jack, played for Tex at Kansas State University and experienced the life-changing, life-encouraging experience of having Tex Winter as a mentor and coach. Ann Parr's personal perspective of this larger than life coach is beautifully depicted in her book honoring his legacy.
Ann Parr and Coach Clair Oleen will talk about Tex Winter and the Triangle on Saturday, May 7 at 3 p.m. at Ad Astra Books & Coffee House, 141 N. Santa Fe.
As great an innovator of X's and O's on the court, Tex Winter has left an indelible reputation as a friend, mentor, and confidant to the many he impacted from his days as coach at Kansas State to the superstars he coached on the NBA floor. The list is a who's who among NBA players who bought in to his Triangle offense and reaped the championship rewards – the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal.

Block Diagram Of Spectrum Analyzer The difference between a three way transition as well as a typical change is connection,or one extra final. A-3 way move has 2 devices which can be often silver or steel coloured and one terminal that is dark coloured. The gold or brass terminals are termed tourists or messengers along with the dark coloured final is known as the most popular. If all three terminals appear similar in coloring, the final that is common is going to be discovered from the expression "widespread" placed to the back of the transition.
The design of these devices about the switch may differ depending upon the manufacturer, therefore check carefully to ensure appropriate detection of the terminal that is common. In A3 means change world you will have two 3way switches as well as a light or group of lights which can be governed from the turns. As each switch may change the lights on or off,there needs to be a means by which one switch could communicate this back again to the other move. Here is the function of the 2 individuals or messengers and you may recognize while in the wiring diagrams that regardless of setting, the 2 travellers or messenger devices on each move are often connected (trace the red and bright conductors of the 3 conductor line).
The most popular final may be the just one left as the vacationers or messenger terminals are always connected. To comprehend this final, consider for a moment a standard move that has only 2 devices. While wiring a typical change the incoming electricity feed (warm) conductor is linked to one critical (usually bottom right) and also the outgoing electricity feed to the lights is linked to another terminal (frequently leading right). This is actually the purpose of the most popular terminals in A3 means change world, on-one of the two 3way switches the incoming energy feed (warm) conductor is attached to its popular terminal and to the other of both 3-way changes the outgoing feed towards the lights is attached to its common terminal.


Have you ever wanted the movie viewing experience of a cinema but without the hassle of previews, crowds, and sticky floors? Well, you might want to consider getting a home theater. A home theater is something much more spectacular than a simple TV room and often comes with many more options than what you'd get in a regular TV room.
Getting this done does require a budget, but if you're a big fan of the theater experience and go to the cinema anyway, you'll probably find that the money will be well spent.
Now, when it comes to home theater installation, there are quite a few different options to choose from. For instance, in the home theater enthusiast community, there is a debate between TVs and projectors. Depending on the size and resolution you want, you might find it more practical to get a projector and a screen rather than a TV.
You should also think about sound systems and what kind of sound quality you'd like. If you like the loudness of the cinema, a surround-sound system with a larger subwoofer can help you achieve the desired effect.
Home theater installation in Wichita is becoming more popular due to the decrease in prices of TVs and projectors. However, getting the perfect experience might require hiring some home theater installation professionals.
You should get started by finding a group of professionals who can do Wichita home theater installation. They know the market and what the best products are, but they also know how to do important things such as installing projector and speaker mounts as well as how to position the screen for optimal viewing.
The more that you invest, the better your experience will be, but home theaters are also possible on a small budget. You should ask the professional company that you choose about how you can get a comparable experience without spending a ton of money.

I've spent a good couple of hours on Privateer tonight but this will be a short post as I was pretty much just grinding away earning money. It took next to no time to get my ship up to a decent level where it was a definite improvement on before. I spent a bit longer just repeating similar missions in the Troy system then decided to try out a tip I saw on the web.
The tip was that if you base yourself at the Padre base you can take bounty hunting missions which pay well and only have to traverse 6 nav points in the 2 systems to beat these missions due to the isolation and small size of the padre system and its neighbour. I fly off and sure enough the merchants guild has one of these missions paying a whopping 22000+.
I literally just have to take off, shoot down one ship and land to collect the money. I repeat this a bit and while I tend not to get quite so much cash each other time and have to fly through the nav points its still easy money.
Some of the ships in this system also drop cargo which never happened to me earlier. This tends not to be worth much but its easy enough to tractor in. I've got my ship nearly fully equipped now. I'm about 50000 short of a level 5 shield generator and that will pretty much finish this ship. I may upgrade the guns I'm using which are the 3rd most expensive also depending upon how much power I'm left with when I get the shield generator. Its so easy making money in this system I'll probably stick around until I've got a fully equipped Centurion and then pick up the plot again.
