The annual Dallas Boat Show was established in 1954 and continues this weekend at Dallas Market Hall. The show features more than 800 boats from seaworthy luxury to amphibious entertainment.
With fuel at record high prices, many Texans are cutting back on travel. Gas pump prices affect the roadways and waterways as well. Increasing fuel efficiency is important to boaters because drag and improper trim can mean less time on the water. Boat dealers and venders were available with fuel saving advice and devices.

I was up to my ankles in mud and ashes as I tromped through a forest fire when I got an urgent call from a reporter about a possible school shooting in another city.
After I explained I was in the middle of a burning forest, she said she'd get more info about the school incident and call me back if it was something they needed.
I kept working the fire.
A few minutes later, my cell rang. I answered it expecting to hear from the reporter. Instead, it was a (semi-famous) model from a commercial shoot.
Not wanting to upset the model and lose access, I tried to delicately say I was indisposed at the moment. It didn't work. The model wanted to talk about getting prints.
Finally I said, "Can I call you back? I'm in the middle of a forest fire right now."
The model said, "Yeah, we're all trying to put out fires..."
Fortunately, a firetruck's speakers blared. When it finished, I said, "No, I'm surrounded by flames at the moment and need to concentrate on staying alive please."
The model said, "Oh yeah, you cover the news," and let me get back to work.
While this one incident is memorable, it's not unique. I've answered strange calls from literally around the world - including some completely unknown-to-me languages. I've even gotten a panicked call from an 8th grader who needed to interview any photojournalist "right now" for a forgotten homework assignment.
It's not difficult to find my cell number. It's listed on my Web site and printed on my business cards and invoices. I want clients to contact me when something is urgent.
For non-emergencies, I prefer e-mails.
My family rarely calls my cell because they understand what I do for a living. They'll call my home number or drop me an e-mail. They know I'll return the message. Not everyone understands the life of a pro PJ.
Before I post my next entry, I needed to clarify this issue about mobile phones.
PJs often don't know what we'll be doing in 10 minutes. Anyone with our cell number certainly doesn't know what we're doing when they dial our number.
Unless it's urgent and work related, we don't need our cell to ring when we're in the middle of a courtroom. We really don't want it to ring while we're sneaking up on a bear or dangling off a mountain. While it's wise to set our phones on vibrate only, even this minor noise could get a PJ killed.
Often, we're surrounded by too much noise to hear it ring. At other times, we're surrounded by destruction or simply too far away from a signal.
So, PJs should carefully select the people who know our cell number. We don't want to make it too easy for everyone to dial our cells. PJs considering a completely wireless life might want to hire an answering service as a main number.
While we want clients to contact us, they can e-mail or leave a message on our main work number. This also means it's vital to quickly return messages via e-mail or from our voice mail.

As most folks know, Hurricane Dolly is heading toward the southernmost Texas coast. It's expected to make landfall tomorrow somewhere around the King Ranch (hundreds of miles of cows and no access).
As of 10 p.m. CDT, NOAA states it's still a Category 1 hurricane (like Hurricane Humberto) and not expected to strengthen much more overnight.
I'll direct everyone to visit Michael Zamora's blog. He's a PJ at the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. He's covering the storm's northern edge, and his images are likely to be on the front pages of your favorite Web sites for the next few days.
I planned to cover it if it became a Cat. 2 or higher over the Gulf. It didn't, so I stayed in Dallas.
Although both cities are in Texas, Brownsville is about as far from Dallas as South Carolina or Quebec are from New York. I was willing to invest in a major storm, but can't justify the out-of-pocket expense for a Cat. 1 storm.
A legal immigrant holds a U.S. flag as she becomes an American citizen at the Department of Homeland Security in Dallas on Friday, July 18, 2008.
Fayrouz Hancock becomes an American citizen at the Department of Homeland Security in Dallas on Friday, July 18, 2008.
Legal immigrants take the Oath of Allegiance to become American citizen at the Department of Homeland Security.
Fayrouz Hancock takes the Oath of Allegiance. Fayrouz was previously a citizen of Iraq and Australia.
For the record, ICE allows family members to photograph the Oath and make photos next to the cardboard cutout. They pull black curtains over everything else during the ceremony. I've shot other citizenship ceremonies, but those were always in public venues.
As y'all can tell, Fayrouz and I had a good day. It's unfortunate we don't see more images of this important moment in many Americans' lives. This is the point where the "pursuit of happiness" begins.
After seven long years of struggles and setbacks, Fay is now a U.S. citizen with all the rights and responsibilities afforded to such.
After we moved back to Dallas, the government finally decided she was a good girl long enough and granted her a citizenship interview. She's studied the citizenship manual since we lived in Beaumont and knows more information about the United States than many native-born folks know (name the specific Constitutional Amendments - by number - that address voting rights).
We honestly expected today's appointment to lead to another appointment, etc. But they surprised us and asked if she wanted to take the Oath of Allegiance today. Four hours later, she became a part of the fabric of America.
Because of my family history and service to the nation, I take citizenship very seriously. I have internalized it. I am a Patriot.
It's strange, but I can't sing the words to the "Star Spangled Banner" because my voice will crack. I can't listen to "God Bless The U.S.A." by Lee Greenwood without my eyes filling with tears.
They played Greenwood's song during today's ceremony. Both Fay and I were fighting a losing battle with big tears.
Welcome home Fayrouz. I couldn't be more proud of you.

Sprint's Easy Pay Paves the Way to Device Upgrades
Sprint today announced Easy Pay, a payment system that lets people upgrade to new devices more easily by spreading out the payments over time. Sprint customers who want to upgrade devices more frequently will need to enroll in the Easy Pay program, which is being offered for a limited time. The program requires customers to pay off the balance of their existing handset. They can then choose a new phone, make a down payment on the device followed by 24 equal payments to cover the expense of the phone. Customers have the option of keeping their old device or selling it back to Sprint via its Buyback program. Sprint said Easy Pay can be paired with its new Framily Plans. Sprint Easy Pay replaces the OneUp program, which was cancelled on January 9.

Google Pay Gains New Payment and Money Management Tools, Digital Bank Account
Google today launched a major revamp of its Google Pay app with a new interface and several major new features. Instead of a stack of cards and list of transactions, the new interface centers around the people and businesses you exchange money with, with a conversation-style interface for each person, group, and business.
Square Launches Tap to Pay on iPhone
The Square Point of Sale app now fully supports Tap to Pay on iPhone, allowing any iPhone (11 or newer) to act as a payment terminal able to accept NFC (tap) payments without any additional hardware. Previously, merchants needed a separate hardware accessory to accept any kind of in-person card or tap payments.

70 River Street, Oneonta, New York 13820
>Club History
The Oneonta Boys and Girls Club has long been a place where youth have come to be supported. Regardless of creed, color, or cultural differences, the Club has provided paths for positive development. Carl J. Delberta, Sr., a former professional boxer and Oneonta policeman, realized the need in this area for facilities where a boy could get in good physical condition and stay off the streets.
In 1947, Carl began a lifelong pursuit with the training of a handful of boys in his backyard. As a policeman in Oneonta, Carl worked with boys during his off duty hours. They met in garages and empty warehouses all over Oneonta.
Carl and his boys wanted a building so much that they devoted their spare time working to make it possible. They sold scrap paper and rags. They worked as checkers in coatrooms for tips. They cleaned up the parks after dog shows to earn money. Carl conducted many boxing shows in Neahwa Park.
The area responded. Many people were generous, and in May 1968, the original facility at 70 River Street was dedicated. As time passed and the organization grew, the membership expanded from 8 to over 500, and volunteers were numerous. The Oneonta Boys Club had become not only a place of physical development and growth, but also a place where boys could come to challenge their minds, express their individuality and creativity, and begin developing a strong sense of community and belonging.
After 50 successful years of working with thousands of young boys, we felt it was time to start helping young girls as well. The original building was not sufficient in size to meet the needs of both boys and girls. We also needed to incorporate modern facilities which would create a friendly environment for the handicapped.
It was with a great deal of enthusiasm that the Board of Directors announced plans for expansion on September 19th, 1996, and construction began in 1997. The existing building was greatly enhanced with the addition of a new gymnasium and other facilities for girls. Exciting programs were added so that all children and young adults could be better served. The Oneonta Boys Club, Inc. began doing business as The Oneonta Boys and Girls Club when it was formally dedicated in September of 1998.
Boys and girls will benefit from this facility and these programs for years to come. The Club has always been and continues to be funded by contributions from its members, local businesses, and from the many area people who believe in the standards the Club sets.

QW Duel 2018 is an online QuakeWorld 1on1 deathmatch competition that uses a division system for players. Players division will be decided by the admins and can be appealed if unhappy with the decision. Format will be single elimination in each division.
QW Duel 2018 is open for all European QuakeWorld players. However, non-European players are free to sign up as long as they play their matches in Europe.
Standard QWCL, mqwcl and FuhQuake are no longer valid for competition play. The allowed proxies are Qizmo 2.91 and the latest QWfwd.
Players are required to do f_ruleset check before game start. Using disallowed clients/proxies/rulesets will lead to a disqualification.
Ktpro spawns (unless both players agree on a different mode).
No berzerk, midair, instagib or other unusual modes.
Fallbunny on (unless both players agree play with off).
Atleast one player should elect for admin, to be able to pause.
Each map can be played only once per match.
All matches to be played best of five.
The higher seeded player decides if he want to be either P1 or P2.
P1 picks the first map.
P2 picks the second map.
P1 picks the third map.
P2 picks the fourth map.
If a fifth map is necessary, the players toss from the remaining 3 maps.
The remaining map is played.
Disconnecting voluntarily during a match means a straight walkover on current map (unless "timed out" - decision by admins). No unnecessary whining. Lame people will be treated lame, nice people will be treated nice. Any kind of idling or lameness will not be tolerated and can lead to WO in the current game or to a ban for the current season. Scripts are not allowed. Make sure to check that your opponent has them turned off before starting to play.
The winner of the game reports the match results as soon as possible using Discord - discord.quake.world - in channel #events.
If the winner somehow can't provide a match report the other player will get permission to do it. Screenshots from the matches are not mandatory, but you may send them to an admin in private if you wish.
In general the game can be played on any server both players agree to play on. The tournament Admins insist that the players' server-choice is done with common sense and that pings are kept as low as possible. However if the players don't agree, the server is determined by the following procedure: 1. Both players have to show their lowest possible ping they can get on 1on1 servers. 2. After that a server has to be found where both players get a ping which is about the same amount higher than their lowest possible ping. A ping difference of <14ms is considered insignificant, and such pings are treated as equal.
A list of servers can be found on in the 'Servers' section. This list only provides a base of servers which you are free to use. You can of course use other servers as well. If players still can't agree on a server, please contact admins about it. Admin decision is final.
All matches will have a deadline. If players can't organize themselves to get games played and reported by the end of the deadline, WO will be given to the player who proved to the admins, that he really tried to make the game happen. Please report your activity to an admin before the deadline is over. If both players express no interest at all in playing the match, then both players lose, and as the case may be one or both of them are kicked out of the tournament.
In order to guarantee some coverage of the bigger games, the schedules for the WB Final, LB Final and Grand Final have to be arranged with an admin.
The QW Duel 2018 tournament uses division system for players, skill determining which division they will play in. We have a two division system in mind but this may change depending on the amount of players we have on signup.
The initial distribution into divisions is done manually by the admins depending on players results in other 1on1 tournaments, their games on http://stats.quakeworld.nu and their wishes.
In each division seeding is done manually by the admins. Here we seed players in 2 groups: "HIGH" (in DE32 - 16 players, in DE16 - 8 players) and "LOW" (all other players in division). This means we seed players with almost the same skill level into one group and randomize the order within every group. The seeding number isn't shown to the players or public. The players only get to know if they are seeded higher than their opponent so that they can proceed with the map-choosing method explained earlier.
Players who lose their games are knocked out. There is no double elimination.
Active admins: lordlame and bps.
The QW Duel 2018 admins are there to help you, so if you ever need our assistance or have any questions, you can find us in the channel #QWDuel2018, on Discord.

Marguerite-aville: Missing Bronx Zoo Cobra: Enjoying the City's Bottomless Rat Buffet?
Missing Bronx Zoo Cobra: Enjoying the City's Bottomless Rat Buffet?
You've probably heard about the Egyptian Cobra who, earlier this week, escaped from the Reptile House at the Bronx Zoo. At the time of this writing, the snake remains at large.
Ah, how this brought back a flood of memories of my once and future city! My first thought, oddly enough, wasn't off the many and varied wild animals that roam the streets, and occasionally take over fast food establishments. Instead, it reminded me of of how New York City truly has the shoddiest building contractors in the world. But more on that later.
It seems like people are going a bit crazy about one little cobra on the lam. Maybe it's because it's an Egyptian cobra, and hence probably Muslim and/or a member of Al Quaida?
Come on. This is the city where dangerous animals run around with more impunity than a Caucasian heiress with an Hermes duffle bag full of cocaine.
Remember Antoine Yates, the guy who kept a 500 pound Bengal Tiger AND a 280 pound alligator in his one-bedroom Harlem apartment? The tiger was discovered after his upstairs neighbor complained that a large quantity of urine was seeping through the ceiling. Yes, TIGER URINE was seeping through her ceiling. (Hope she clicked the "Tiger Urine Damage" box on her renter's insurance!) However, for the previous two years, the presence of the Bengal tiger had gone largely unnoticed. As long as she kept the music down, anyway.
Mr. Yates received a five-year probation, which stipulated that during that time he was "not allowed to own or take care of any wild animal." But that was in 2004, so by now he's finally free to get that baby giraffe! Or maybe an elephant? Then, eventually, when his girlfriend confronts him about "the elephant in the room," she'll be referring to an ACTUAL ELEPHANT, which would just be awesome.
If the missing cobra needs a safe house to just chill and clear his head for a few days, he may want to ping Antoine. Or, better yet, the snake should slither on down to the nearest KFC-Taco Bell for an all-u-can-eat Rat Buffet.
All New Yorkers will remember the time, a few years ago, when passerbys noticed "hordes" of "agile, plump rats" in a closed KFC in the West Village. It was late at night, and the rats were noted to be "leaping and bounding from table to table." To their credit, they were just rehearsing for Rats: The Musical, which is heavy on the Bob Fosse-style dance numbers.
Nasty indeed. And you know what would've scared those rats away? A cobra.

Monday, 06 June 2011 - Threats to civil aviation are constantly evolving and the Pacific region is not immune to them because of their transnational nature.
The strengthening of regional partnerships is therefore imperative to ensuring that efforts to address aviation security issues in the region are well coordinated and executed.
This issue formed the crux of discussions for Pacific directors of civil aviation, who convened for a special aviation security forum in Suva, Fiji from 24 to 25 May 2011.
SPC hosted the meeting at its regional office in Suva with funding support from Australia's Office of Transport Security.
In his opening speech to the delegates, Director of SPC's Economic Development Division John Hogan emphasised the importance of addressing aviation security issues in the region.
'Aviation is essential to the economic and social development of Pacific Island countries and territories and we must ensure, through regulation, the achievement of practical and relevant outcomes that recognise the unique nature of our region, while maintaining compliance with broader international obligations,' he said.
Hogan also brought the meeting's attention to the Framework for Action on Transport Services, which was endorsed in April this year by the Pacific transport ministers when they met in New Caledonia for the joint energy, ICT and transport ministers' meeting. The framework provides a roadmap for better co-ordination of efforts and enhancement of services in the maritime and aviation sectors.
The forum provided an opportunity for SPC members and key regional partners to exchange information relating to international developments in aviation security, emerging technologies, capacity building, legal services, and operational issues.
The meeting agreed that the SPC Transport Programme was an appropriate mechanism for collection and dissemination of information, as well as the coordination of aviation activities among regional partners. In recognition of this, the meeting further recommended that SPC undertake the collection and retention of aviation data relevant to the current level of training and skills in the region.
Aviation security and safety oversight remain the mandate of the Pacific Aviation Safety Office (PASO) and the recently signed memorandum of understanding between SPC and PASO will result in closer collaboration in these areas.
The meeting also developed a response to the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) Declaration on Aviation Security, outlining what the region was able to do in support of the achievement of improved aviation security outcomes.
The Declaration on Aviation Security was issued by ICAO following the 37th Session of ICAO Assembly in Montréal, Canada in October 2010. It provides a pathway towards continuous improvement and the ongoing achievement of aviation security outcomes.

Security Information / 2016 / Security Information -- DSA-3446-1 openssh
DSA-3446-1 openssh -- security update
In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 810984.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2016-0777, CVE-2016-0778.
The Qualys Security team discovered two vulnerabilities in the roaming code of the OpenSSH client (an implementation of the SSH protocol suite).
SSH roaming enables a client, in case an SSH connection breaks unexpectedly, to resume it at a later time, provided the server also supports it.
The OpenSSH server doesn't support roaming, but the OpenSSH client supports it (even though it's not documented) and it's enabled by default.
An information leak (memory disclosure) can be exploited by a rogue SSH server to trick a client into leaking sensitive data from the client memory, including for example private keys.
A buffer overflow (leading to file descriptor leak), can also be exploited by a rogue SSH server, but due to another bug in the code is possibly not exploitable, and only under certain conditions (not the default configuration), when using ProxyCommand, ForwardAgent or ForwardX11.
This security update completely disables the roaming code in the OpenSSH client.
It is also possible to disable roaming by adding the (undocumented) option UseRoaming no to the global /etc/ssh/ssh_config file, or to the user configuration in ~/.ssh/config, or by passing -oUseRoaming=no on the command line.
Users with passphrase-less private keys, especially in non interactive setups (automated jobs using ssh, scp, rsync+ssh etc.) are advised to update their keys if they have connected to an SSH server they don't trust.
More details about identifying an attack and mitigations will be available in the Qualys Security Advisory.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u3.
For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u1.
For the testing distribution (stretch) and unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed in a later version.
We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.

I am having a bad day today. I'm thinking way too much and that's usually the first sign of trouble.
I used to drink a lot of beer. Actually, who am I kidding? I still drink a lot of it. Beer is my friend.
Am I Missing My Life?
What Happened To Being A Man?
I overheard a conversation at Walmart the other day between a couple of big people in stretchy pants.
Don Rogers has been described as a loner and a loser. He lacks even the basic skills of spelling, grammar and social interaction. As a result of these deficiencies of character and mind, he lashes out, desperately seeking attention in offensive ways. If you ever encounter this gigantic loser. Do not encourage him in any way. He deserves nothing.


From tainted pet food to lead paint-coated toys, China is taking heat for a numer of its potentially dangerous products. Most recently, activists warn consumers to be wary of China's farm-raised fish and specifically its farm-raised shrimp. While America currently imports 90 percent of its shrimp from farm-raised fisheries in Asia, this reality may change as more people learn about the the foreign industry.
The environmentally irresponsible practices employed in many of these Asian facilities have been widely documented. An estimated 3.7 million acres of tropical mangrove forests have been cleared to create multi-acre shrimp farms, destroying important habitats for fish, birds and humans. Untreated wastewaters pass freely from the shrimp cages to the surrounding ocean, polluting the water and aquatic life. And the liberal use of antibiotics, needed to prevent and treat rampant diseases, creates strains of drug-resistant bacteria, potentially compromising our health. These farms, many now abandoned after years of land exploitation, litter the coastlines of China, Vietnam and other big fish-exporting countries.
For these reasons, Seafood Watch, an organization devoted to ocean conservation, ranks wild-caught shrimp from the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico as the best choice among warm-water or tropical shrimp and a "good alternative" to its best overall shrimp choice: wild-caught shrimp from Oregon. Seafood Watch recommends these pink, cold-water crustaceans for shrimp cocktail or salad, and praises Oregon shrimpers for achieving low levels of bycatch. This watchdog organization places imported farm-raised shrimp on the "avoid" list.
Catching shrimp in their natural habitat, however, is not a perfect alternative to farming. Seafood Watch estimates that shrimp trawling — the dragging of a trawl net along the seafloor — accidentally catches and kills more than 1.8 million tons of marine life (bycatch) each year, including many turtles and sharks, accounting for more than 25 percent of the world's wasted catch.
By creating turtle excluder devices (TEDs) and various bycatch reduction devices (BRDs), however, some fishermen have reduced the number of turtles trapped by 97 percent and reduced bycatch of some fish species by as much as 50 percent.
A recent advertsing campaign beginnig, "You've been bamboozled. Snooped. Hoodwinked," stars Southern shrimpers promoting their domestic wild-caught prawns. The shrimpers hope to rebuild an industry severely damaged not only by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, but also by the increasing infiltration of cheap imported shrimp in the market.
For more information about where to find wild American shrimp visit wildamericanshrimp.com. Whole Foods Market sells 16-20 count wild shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico. While it may be a little harder to find, wild shrimp does exist at the market. This summer, search for this environmentally responsible and tasty product — go wild for American shrimp!
Peel shrimp, leaving the tails on. Run a pairing knife down the backside of each shrimp, removing the vein, while butterflying the shrimp. Place in a bowl with the oil, lime juice basil and garlic. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Preheat the grill to high. Remove shrimp from bowl, discarding excess marinade and place on a large plate. Season evenly with kosher salt and pepper. When grill is hot, place shrimp onto grates and let cook for 2 minutes, leaving the cover open. Flip shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from grill, pile on platter, and serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Combine lime juice, fish sauce, vinegar, shallots, sugar, pepper flakes and garlic in a small bowl. Using a mandoline, vegetable peeler or a knife, cut the carrot into 8 to 10 thin slices. Then with a knife, cut into very fine strips. Add to the bowl. Cut the chili into thin cross sections, leaving the seeds intact, and add to the bowl. Stir all and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Born Apr. 26, 1879, in Dewsbury, Yorkshire; died Feb. 15, 1959, in Alton, Hampshire. English physicist. Fellow of the Royal Society of London (1913).
Richardson graduated from Cambridge University in 1900. From 1900 to 1906 he was on the staff of the Cavendish Laboratory, and from 1906 to 1913 he was a professor at Princeton University. In 1914, Richardson became affiliated with the University of London. He was a professor there from 1914 to 1924 and director of research in physics from 1924 to 1944, in which year he became emeritus professor.
Richardson's most important works dealt with thermionic emission. In 1901, Richardson discovered the dependence of thermionic current density on the temperature of the surface of the metal. The equation describing this relationship is now known as the Richardson equation. Richardson's other areas of research included the photoelectric effect, the emission of electrons under the action of chemical agents, magnetism, quantum theory, spectroscopy, and the physics of X rays.
Richardson received a Nobel Prize in 1928.

CALIFORNIA's Silicon Valley, the 50-mile stretch between San Francisco and San Jose, is perhaps the most productive and innovative land mass in the world.
The Economist has identified 99 listed technology companies with market values of over $1 billion that call the Valley home.
Together, these 99 companies are worth some $2.8 trillion (an increase of 75% over the past 30 months), and account for around 6% of all corporate America's corporate profits.
51 new tech companies launched every month in the San Francisco Bay area.

That's it — enough is enough!
We love Angelina Jolie, we really do. Kneeling down on a cold New York City sidewalk to snap a selfie with one of her most dedicated fans melted our fashion hearts into mush. The charitable work she does for impoverished countries all over the world? Simply, genius.
However, we don't think we can handle another cream business suit or black evening gown. Over the years, Jolie's wardrobe has dwindled from edgy, eye-catching ensembles to garments that are thirsting for color.
We took the liberty of hijacking her highness' latest outfits worn to The Daily Show on Dec. 4, and the London premiere of Unbroken on Nov. 25, and infused them with some much needed pigment.
The color mastered by Jennifer Garner, Selena Gomez, and more, world liven up her completion much better than those pale ensembles.
Hasn't she heard that the candy-apple hue is complementary to dark brown hair?
The last time we saw the gorgeous star in this hue was in 2007 at the Cannes Film Festival, and our ray of sunshine looked quite fabulous!
We'd crush on Angie hard if she went up a few notches on the color wheel.
It's 2015's Pantone Color of the Year, and now is the perfect time to get ahead of the game.
She's not one for a print, but we'd go mad for plaid or leopard or floral — anything but black.


Discussion in 'Nebraska Engine' started by Lee, Apr 6, 2008.
I thought I would start a new thread as this is new information. First I would like to thank Mike and Linda Johnson of Newfolden MN, who while on one of the trips to get the engine, took these photos of the disassembly. I would also like to thank Jeff Nielson who scanned those photos onto a disk.
Here is the engine at the Western Sugar plant in Nebraska. Note the jackhammer busting up the base so they could get a jack underneath the cylinder.
A view along the connecting rod and crank disk.
Probably the most unique feature of the engine is the dual flywheels.
This will give you an idea of the size of the flywheels.
Here is a shot of the center crankshaft bearing.
A photo of the Corliss valve gear.
There was also a two cylinder steam powered air compressor that was brought back at the same time.
I hope everyone enjoys the photos and a final thanks to Mark K. for the thread on posting photos off of Photobucket.
Here is a photo of the "other" Nebraska engine.
It is an two cylinder steam powered air compressor that was right beside the Corliss engine.
Here is a photo taken by Wayne Johnson (Mike and Linda's son).
From right to left:Royce Granlin, Dennis? Goodyke, Mike Johnson, Jim Todahl, Bennet Moen.
The second year crew was made up of Elroy Amunson, Mark Hamre, Mike Johnson and Linda Johnson.
Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this. I believe proper credit should go to all parties involved.
Dennis? Goodyke, Bennet Moen. I apologize for any confusion.
Great job on the thread Jeff! I am glad you were able to get all of the photos rounded up. They will sure be needed to get the engine back together! I had no idea that this engine was that big! I am sure happy that all of you folks are going to get everything collected and in one place again. Thank you to all involved!
For those of you that don't know, the BOD of WMSTR decided last year (or maybe two years ago) to give the Nebraska engine to another show. The proprietors of that show, the South Central North Dakota Thresher's Association located at Braddock, ND (approx. 50 miles southeast of Bismarck) have intend to erect the engine on their show grounds in the next several years. They're looking for a Project Manager and any help that might be available. If anyone is interested in working on the engine and project at it's new home, I'll be glad to hook you up with that team. Jeff, would you be willing to share the photos on disk or thumb drive for that group to mull over as they lay out their execution plan? PM me if you're willing to do that. thanks and have a great day.
They may want to come back and pick up the governor. Someone in the gas engine area was running it with a gas engine at what i feel was an unsafe speed for the base it is mounted to. Im sure the base is substantial enough for moving around and static display but it was really bouncing and wobbling all cribbed up trying to steady it. Would hate to see it tipped over and broken after all these years.
I don't understand the 3rd party hosting thing that is showing up on photo bucket accounts now. I have heard the same thing from others.
The good news is there is no longer a need to host with a 3rd party! It is easy to post pictures here now, and they are hosted by this site. You do have to resize them as most modern cell cameras (et,al) take HUGE pictures and this site does not resize them. If you have any questions... PM me.
Now back to the Nebraska Engine...!
Mark, does that mean I can get to the pictures? If so, how? Little trouble with technology on this end............sorry.
Not that I am aware of. Jeff would have to do something with his account and I am not sure what! I am sure he still has the pictures or could get them from Photobucket. Problem is that technology keeps changing!
Jeff does check in here from time to time and he will see this and get them to you.
When I had the disc of photos, I printed off and collated all the photos, making up 3 (light blue in color) binders.
Last I knew, Tim M., Jeff N., and I gave mine I had at the time, I think, to Jeff L.
I have not looked yet, but I think I still have all the photos on my hard drive.
I'll look and let you guys know what I find.
Found this about 3rd Party hosting.
Photobucket wants money to use thd embedded url link and from what I've read, it's $400 a year subscription.
Not sure Alan, but in the long run concrete is not the place to cut any corners. Do you have any drawings or anyone working with you folks who have tackled anything like this before?
No need for remote hosting any more. You can host them right here. Just click "Upload a File" next to the "Post Reply" button.
I don't want to cut corners but I need a place to start. Our club has not done anything on this scale.
I'll PM you with the name and contact information of the last person who took any interest in that engine at WMSTR. It might take me a couple of days to get it done.


Then suppose he actually became the President? What they constantly demand is the 'respect'. I wish this hasn't happen to you. Personhood might be more important. Whenever he was in a crowd of people he felt anxious and insecure. Follow me on Twitter for daily updates on psychology, , and. Plus, some may have gone through the 'mob' of say 8 followed by the smear campaign, but still doubting the 'motivations', as well as the underlying cause of the 'disorder'.
What their ego needs is to be recognized as great, cz in their opinion they are. Its not as simple as that though because groups of people dont like snobs, and the other way round. I found myself well described as a narcissistic person and I would like to change. You have to learn to the extent, that you will be able to diagnose yourself. The point isn't whether I know about Narcs, but that I know for a fact, that what I write here is gaining power in academic writings, is acknowledged as breakthrough, may be argued with, but not ignored by the specialists and those who write for others to read. They'd also traveled at least as much and I could finally tell all the cool stories I'd been stuffing down. Words do hurt, what you say matters.
Old fashioned 100 year psycho babble insists it's 'insecurity'. This is the one that is most successful at playing victim in smear campaigns. That person is unlikely to be the narcissist. I wrote a comment, but lost it tech problem , where I said we should also run in minutes, not only recognise them in minutes. The fundamental principle on which it rests, that the empire is a community of sovereigns, that the diet is a representation of sovereigns and that the laws are addressed to sovereigns, renders the empire a nerveless body, incapable of regulating its own members, insecure against external dangers, and agitated with unceasing fermentations in its own bowels.
Of course, a person could do the opposite and highlight only great things in their lives. In worst case scenarios these infants may become developmentally delayed, passive, may develop full-blown reactive attachment disorder. So yes I think you're spot on. It's an old oooold school. I am a perfectionist and I put myself daily under the pressure to accomplish everything in perfection. Hunger refers to a personal, physical sensation of discomfort, while food insecurity refers to a lack of available financial resources for food at the level of the household. Your critique of trump reveals him as grandiose- the characteristics you aptly highlighted shows a classic alignment.
What Is Food Insecurity in America?
I can think of many times when guys get around to talk the one upsmanship that come from sexual exploits, adventures, and mistakes. I've noticed, it also helps people to recover, if that is your priority,. Policy evaluation, through both quantitative and qualitative research, reveals food insecurity to be a complex problem. Whether infants have secure attachment or one of the types of insecure attachment, is pivotal to their growth and functioning in the world. See, 7 out of 8 knew each other, i. Returning to the Brookes study, there can be aspects of overt narcissism that actually do work in helping the insecure feel more confident in their abilities. You push people away because you're used to and people turning their backs.
The effect of overt and covert narcissism on self-esteem and self-efficacy beyond self-esteem. These are all bragging either covertly or overtly but is it wrong, it seemed cathartic and healthy to me. Interconnected actions of the group, as well as 22 years of marriage with 1 may be a different, but also valuable data. ???. Will try when, narcissistically speaking, have time. This happened in eastern European countries with babies in orphanages.
I think I am now realizing that I should be nicer in interacting instead of snappish out of my own insecurity. When I've accomplished something that was difficult I enjoy letting others know, is that truly a deviation from normal? I 'd prefer people to feel comfortable in my company rather than stressed! So hope you'll do well. . He gets angry and jealous if another man only looks at his woman in admiration. I can probably, only imagine how.
They often also do not learn or understand emotions — their own or others. The Brookes study provides some clues, then, into what makes up the narcissistic personality. How these can go hand in hand. If someone else is proud of their accomplishments and has real accomplishments, why would I feel bad if they talk about them? Having a college degree might not be as important to small town folks as new yorkers. Search insecure and thousands of other words in English definition and synonym dictionary from Reverso.
Some non-narcissists just feel so insecure or unhappy with themselves or their own life that they feel the need to put others down or make others feel insecure as a way to make themselves feel better such as bullies. Is that individual always broadcasting his or her strengths? Again, I don't know where you stand at the moment, hope these may help you to understand how or whether or not a 'vulnerable' can launch legal procedure with false criminal charges!!! This simultaneous tactic is aiming to through others in a psychological state, when an individual feels fear, but also an obligation to comply, starts doubting themselves etc. You'll be able to find what to do when it's a marriage situation and children involved. Bear in mind there are two major classifications of narcissists : grandiose and covert. It was a real guilt trip. This article has made me realize that I have subliminally fed on their 'inferiority. Also as to the complaint that things aren't good enough, I don't think that there's a person out there who doesn't want something better than what they have.
The first type of insecure attachment is called ambivalent attachment. Some may argue that at their core, both types of narcissists have a weak sense of self-esteem, but the grandiose narcissist may just be better at the cover-up. All 7 targeted me, as well as each other and other people. To sum up: Being able to detect insecurity in the people around you can help you shake off the self-doubts that some people seem to enjoy fostering in you. This is the most sane response I've read on here.

Tiria the ottermaid is happy living in Redwall Abbey with her friends and family but she cannot help hankering for adventure. Highly skilled in the use of the sling, Tiria would love to go roving the way many of her otter kin do but her father won't hear of it. Then, quite suddenly everything changes. One night Martin the Warrior speaks to Tiria in her dreams and she learns that she is destined to be more than just a Redwall ottermaid - she is destined to be a queen, a queen who will lead her people out of slavery.
Meanwhile on Green Isle, many miles away, the evil wildcat warlord Riggu Felis, is trying to subdue a small group of otters who seek to free their island of the wildcat and his servants. Many otters have been enslaved by the cats, and the otter leader, a brave renegade called Leatho Shellhound, is determined that the reign of the cats must end. More than anything he wishes that Queen Rhulain, a famous otter leader who lived many years ago, could come to the island to free his people and yet he dare not hope that such a hero exists in the present day.
Guided by a fierce Osprey who used to live on Green Isle, Tiria sets out for the island, sure in her heart that this is a journey that she is supposed to make. With the help of otter kin and of a brave band of warrior hares, Tiria makes for Green Isle as fast as she can hoping that she will be able to live up to the name of Queen Rhulain
This gripping and moving tale of heroism, sacrifice, and the fight for freedom will delight both Redwall fans of longstanding and newcomers to the series. Brian Jacques paints a vivid portrait in words of a young otter who strikes out into a world she knows little about. Determined to do what she can to help those in need, she leaves the only home she has ever known to fulfil her destiny. Peopled with funny and brave hares, bright and determined otters, moles, mice, a strong badger lord, and a good number of vermin creatures, this is a tale rich with humor, warmth, wonderful mouth-watering meals, song, and lots of riddles to solve.

NZ On Screen's Top 10 for 2015
Curated by NZ On Screen team
NZ On Screen's Top 10 most viewed titles of 2015 features two All Blacks, a pair of animated favourites, a number of guitars, the debut episode of Outrageous Fortune, and a documentary about moko. Check out the top 10 list below, and find out more about the top 10 here.
Thirty Years of Three
November 2019 marks 30 years since New Zealand television's third channel first went to air. As this collection makes clear, the channel has highlighted a wide range of local content, from genre-stretching drama (Outrageous Fortune, The Almighty Johnsons) to upstart news shows (Nightline), youth programming (Ice TV, Being Eve) and many landmarks of Kiwi screen comedy (7 Days, bro'Town, Pulp Comedy). As the launch slogan said, "come home to the feeling!" In this background piece, Phil Wakefield ranges from across the years, from early days to awards triumph in 2019.
The Top 10 NZ Television Ads
Great adverts are strange things: mini works of magic, with the power to make viewers smile, cry, and even buy. Kiwi directors have shown such a knack for making them, they've been invited to do so across the globe. But this collection is about local favourites; dogs on skateboards, choc bar robberies, ghost chips. NZ On Screen's Irene Gardiner backgrounds the top 10 here.
The Florian Habicht Collection
Florian Habicht first won attention for 2003's Woodenhead, a fairytale about a rubbish dump worker and a princess. By then Habicht had already made his first feature-length documentary. Many more docos have followed: films that celebrate his love for people, and sometimes drift into fantasy. In this collection, watch as the idiosyncratic director meets fishermen, Kaikohe demolition derby drivers (both watchable in full), legends of Kiwi theatre and British pop, and beautiful women carrying slices of cake through New York. Ian Pryor writes here about the joys of Florian Habicht.


Dana Mele is the author of People Like Us and a second young adult book forthcoming from Putnam in 2019. She enjoys the outdoors in microscopic doses and lives with her family in the Catskills.
Sorry guys; Dana will not be able to attend YAS Book Con this year. She sends her regrets!

Dow GLBI organizers look back, look ahead
Daily News staff
Published 2:11 pm EDT, Friday, September 6, 2019
The organizers of the inaugural Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational are looking back with pride at the July 2019 event and looking forward to at least four more years of holding the LPGA team tournament at the Midland Country Club, based on a news release issued on Friday.
More than 35,000 people attended the Dow GLBI during the week of July 15-20. The event was broadcast by the Golf Channel in more than 150 countries.
The estimated economic impact of the event to the Great Lakes Bay Region was $10 - $12 million, with more than $500,000 being donated to charitable organizations in the region.
"The passion our community had for this innovative event was extraordinary," said Chris Chandler, executive director of the Dow GLBI. "Thanks to the abundance of support we received from our 250 partners and others in our region, we set the bar high in our inaugural year, demonstrating that when people and organizations team up, we can grow and achieve more."
A field of 142 of the world's best female golfers competed in the 72-hole, stroke-play team tournament. Team "All In," Jasmine Suwannapura and Cydney Clanton, claimed the top prize with a four-day total of 27-under par.
Clanton and Suwannapura each received $241,269 as well as a trophy designed by local artist Barbara Plezia and necklaces designed by Herman Hiss & Company.
Several community events were held in conjunction with the Dow GLBI:
• The Eat Great program consisted of separate events which highlighted the diverse culinary talent, restaurants, and flavors of the Great Lakes Bay Region.
• The First Tee Junior Clinic hosted more than 600 kids for a free junior clinic featuring LPGA players at Currie Golf Course.
• The STEM in Sports Center hosted more than 2,000 youth and provided engaging, hands-on experiences in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as they relate to golf, baseball, hockey, tennis, and racing.
• The Wells Fargo Advisors Veterans Garden provided special viewing access to more than 1,000 past and present military personnel who attended the Dow GLBI.
• The Fore Our Future competition provided student groups with an opportunity to operate a concession stand onsite at the tournament.
• The Special Olympics 3-Hole Challenge gave nine Special Olympic athletes from the Great Lakes Bay Region the opportunity to play three holes at the Midland Country Club and meet LPGA professional Suzann Pettersen.
• As part of the event's sustainability goal to become the first fully GEO Certified® Tournament on the LPGA Tour, the Dow GLBI encouraged sustainable efforts throughout the week, including recycling, composting, bike parking, producing an event mobile app and more.
• The #TeamUp for the GLBR initiative paired 36 community organizations in the region with the 71 teams competing at the event. Each team earned $2,000 for its paired organization.
Next year's Dow GLBI will take place July 13-18, 2020.
The event will continue to strive to accelerate the efforts already ongoing to make the Great Lakes Bay region a better, more inclusive, and more sustainable place to live, work and play.
