|Very pleased with this purchase. Installation was done with only 1 person (yes it can be done) and only took slightly longer than the instructions stated. Installation was also fairly straight forward and not difficult. The fit is very good, the operation is even better and the comments from friends are awesome. Only minor drawback was some minor dings incurred during shipping. Possibly solved by installing a middle surrounding foam cap around the canister to prevent width support brackets from getting dinged. Great product and I've already recommended this to several friends.

Important Owner Information
Please read the instructions and owner information carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate, or maintain your Retrax™ bed cover. Here are some helpful hints for keeping your Retrax™ looking and working like new.
- Automotive (non-abrasive) wax can be applied to the cover and rails for extra protection against the elements and scratches.
- Secure cargo in your box to prevent shifting of the load and possible damage to the front canister.
- The Retrax™ bed cover should slide open and closed easily. Do not force the cover open or closed. Please call the Retrax™ Consumer Hotline (1-800-206-4070) before attempting any maintenance or repairs.
- Care should be taken when setting any items on the cover. If the cover is dusty or an item is dragged across the cover, scratching or hazing may occur. Treat your Retrax™ bed cover like the hood of your pickup. Do not wipe dust off the cover; it should be washed off.
- With proper care, the polycarbonate cover on your Retrax™ will last for many years. It should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not use any strong chemicals or cleaners of any kind. Do not allow gasoline to come in contact with the cover. The ball- bearing rollers installed on your Retrax™ are sealed-for-life and no maintenance or lubrication is required (do not use a lubricant). The channel of the rail can be wiped clean, if needed, to remove dust or dirt.
- Every effort has been made to make the Retrax™ weather-tight, however, the Retrax™ is not waterproof. Use extra care to prevent damage to items during severe weather conditions or while entering a car wash. Water may collect on the cover, remove water before opening.
- Do not force your Retrax™ open if ice forms on your bed cover after an ice storm or car wash. You should use your hand to gently tap around the perimeter of the cover, which should free up the weather-stripping that seals the bed cover along the edges. Lock de-icer can be used to free up the key lock. Do not allow de-icer to make contact with the bed cover.

Over the years I have favored the Small Form Factor (SFF) cases as I have always lived in places tight on space. Now that I had a chance to use the BK6323 Mountain Jade SFF case from In-Win, I can honestly say that is the smallest case I have ever used. In-Win teamed up with Intel to design the case to handle the heat of the new Intel Core2 Duo with out a case fan, just the stock heat sink. With an street price of under $50 the Mountain Jade is a very affordable SFF case that comes with a 300W power supply. While this power supply certainly shouldn't be used with high end video cards it should be plenty for a system with integrated graphics.
In case you have never heard of In-Win Development Inc., they are an ISO 9001 manufacturer of professional computer chassis, power supplies and digital storage devices. In-Win was founded in 1986 and has been making products ever since. This is the first time we have reviewed a product that has been made by In-Win, but they are not a new company by any means. Let's take a look at the specifications for the BK623 Mt. Jade.
The case comes shipped in nice sturdy box that makes it easily known what is inside – the mountain jade!
The case was protected from drops and was wrapped in plastic to avoid scratches from shipping.
Lets take a look at the outside of the case and see what the Mountain Jade looks like.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 25, 2014) – Having found its scoring punch against North Florida on Thursday night, the ETSU men's basketball team will aim to keep that momentum Saturday afternoon as the Buccaneers host Atlantic Sun Conference foe Jacksonville.
Tip is set for 4 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The Bucs (10-10 overall, 3-4 A-Sun) netted 99 points in the win over the Ospreys, hitting a remarkable 32-of-33 foul shots in the game. ETSU will need that same type of offensive production when facing an athletic Jacksonville Dolphins team, which enters the game at 8-11 overall, 4-4 in league play.
Fans are encouraged to bring their children to games this year to take advantage of the special Sweet Frogs $5 kids' ticket during men's basketball games.
For more on the contest, read the game notes below or click on the game notebook link located on the right. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State University in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball program was glad to see the 2012-13 campaign come to an end, following a season which saw the team face multiple obstacles and challenges -- such as a brutal schedule that featured the likes of North Carolina, Arizona, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Georgia and Hawaii ... Other issues for the team included senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) missing the season with ankle injury that he suffered in the preseason, senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) being academically ineligible for the first two months of the year, and two other senior guards who were expected to be major contributors were dismissed from the team in early November for violations of team rules … This left head coach Murry Bartow and his coaching staff with a young, inexperienced group of underclassmen, several true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a pair of junior college transfers … Those obstacles proved to be tough to overcome, as the Buccaneers posted a 10-22 record and finished 8-10 in Atlantic Sun Conference play … It was the toughest campaign in Bartow's 10 seasons at ETSU, a tenure that has produced many championships, postseason tournament appearances and 20-win campaigns … In all, Bartow's teams have earned three NCAA Tournament invitations (2004, 2009 and 2010), one NIT appearance (2007), and one CIT berth (2011), and the Bucs have eclipsed 20 wins five times.
The series vs. Jacksonville
The Bucs are 12-6 all-time against the Dolphins, having split the two meetings a year ago ... ETSU won the last game between the two teams 61-58 back on Feb. 23, 2013.
Last time out vs. Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 23, 2013) – Junior forward Hunter Harris (Nashville) scored a game-high 22 points and made the defensive play of the contest in the closing seconds, lifting the ETSU men's basketball team to a 61-58 win over Atlantic Sun Conference foe Jacksonville Saturday afternoon inside the Veterans Memorial Arena. ... Following a pair of free throws from both Harris and sophomore forward John Walton (Memphis), the Buccaneers were left protecting a 59-56 lead with 39 seconds left. ... On JU's next possession, Harris blocked a 3-point attempt by Jacksonville's All A-Sun guard Keith McDougald, grabbed the loose ball and was fouled. He hit one of two free throws at that point to ice the game for the Bucs. ... Harris was joined in double figures by guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) as the two combined for 11 and 10 points, respectively. For Jacksonville, Kordario Fleming led the way with 18 points, while both McDougald and Haywood netted 11 points each.... ETSU led 28-25 at the break, but after the intermission the Buccaneers' season struggles on the offensive end resurfaced as ETSU scored just four points over the first seven minutes of the second half. JU took advantage during that span, and put together a 15-4 run to build a 40-32 edge at the 12:58 mark. ... At that point, ETSU rallied with a 12-3 run of its own to regain the lead at 44-43 with less than 10 minutes left, and both teams traded the lead multiple times from there before finding the game tied at 53-53 with 3:58 left on the clock. ... The lead went back and forth but ETSU grabbed the lead at 57-55 on a pair for free throw makes from Harris with 1:04 left in the game. The Bucs finished the game by hitting 6-of-8 at the line in the final minute to seal the win.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 23, 2014) – Hitting 32 of 33 free throws and manufacturing a 16-2 run midway through the second half, the ETSU men's basketball team rebounded from a tough Florida road swing with a 99-93 win over Atlantic Sun Conference foe North Florida inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The Buccaneers – who had lost three of their last four games – improved to 10-10 overall, 3-4 in A-Sun play, while North Florida fell to 11-10, 5-3. The Ospreys are now 0-9 all-time in the Dome. ... The offensive effort – especially in the second half – was impressive. ETSU finished the game shooting 50 percent from 3-point range (9-of-18) and 97 percent from the free throw line, while scoring 58 points and shooting 59 percent from the floor in the second half. ... Four ETSU players reached double figures, led by a team-high 24 points from senior post Hunter Harris (Nashville), while junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) added 22 points. In addition, senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) netted 19 points, junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) pitched in 18, and sophomore point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) finished with nine assists and no turnovers. ... The game saw multiple lead changes and ties over the first 32 minutes of play, but the critical stretch for ETSU came with less than eight minutes left in the second half. At that point, Rembert re-entered the contest despite having four fouls and responded by scoring the first seven points of a 16-3 run that took a 70-68 UNF lead, and turned it into an 83-70 ETSU advantage. ... The Ospreys would manage to cut that advantage to just five at 87-82 with 2:21 left, but the Bucs' finished from there with a perfect 12-of-12 clip from the charity stripe. In all, ETSU would hit its final 23 foul shots in the game.
Historic night at the free throw line for Bucs
The ETSU men's basketball team rewrote some records Thursday night at the free throw line ... Making 32-of-33 free throws on the evening was the first time the Bucs had made 32 shots at the charity strip since Feb. 19, 2011 in a game at Lipscomb ... In addition, junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) is now second on the Bucs' single game list for free throw percentage after going 12-of-12 at the line in the game ... He is second only to former ETSU great Dimeco Childress' 14-of-14 effort vs. Davidson on 2/9/2002.
Rembert hoping to stay hot as A-Sun schedule begins
Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time over the last two seasons ... Last season, Rembert ranked fourth in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage at 39.7 percent for the year, and currently ranks first this year with a 44 percent mark ... This year, he has shown a marked improvement in his style of offensive play, and currently leads the team with 15.6 points per contest ... He also leads the league in made 3-pointers with 2.8 per game ... In fact, his numbers are good enough to rank him nationally in both percentage and total makes from 3-point range (see list on Page 4 of these notes).
Difference between winning and losing for ETSU
Rebounding has been a particular indicator for the Bucs this season when it comes to wins and losses ... The statistics below show the differences for the Bucs is several important categories so far this season.
Statistical category Wins (10-0) Losses (0-10)
ETSU scoring 83.2 PPG....................... 65.7 PPG
Opponent scoring 72.6 PPG........................ 77.8 PPG
Rebounding margin 0.0......................................... -6.8
Shooting % .488.................................... .379
3-pt. shooting % .402................................... .306
Assists 13.4 APG..................... 11.1 APG
Bartow gets win No. 300; aiming for No. 200 at ETSU
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow won his 300th career game on Saturday against Kennesaw State, and is now just one win away from No. 200 as head coach of the Buccaneers ... Bartow is the second winningest coach in program history, behind only legend Madison Brooks' 370 victories for the Blue and Gold ... Bartow's .578 winning percentage also ranks second in the modern era for the Bucs, behind only Alan LeForce's .607 percentage.
Merriweather continues to shine, posts double-double
Freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) has certainly made an impression in the early going this season, and he continued to make more news with his third career double-double in the win over Kennesaw State (1/4) ... In that game, Merriweather also netted a career high with 19 points, while grabbing 10 rebounds ... His current team ranks are first in rebounding (6.5 rpg), second in scoring (10.9 ppg), first in steals (1.3 spg), and third in minutes played (27.6 mpg). ... He followed that effort with a career high 20 points in the loss at Mercer (1/6).
All-around effort by Gadsden-Gilliard impressive
Setting new personal bests with 12 rebounds and six assists in the win over Samford (11/21), senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) had people thinking "triple-double" when he added an 18-point effort to his statistical line ... The Bucs hope that KGG can make these types of efforts more consistent ... KGG responded to that expectation by putting together a 19-point, seven-rebound and seven-assist outing against Marshall in an 88-78 victory on Nov. 30.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 814 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game. ... The Bucs currently rank as the 7th longest streak in the NCAA, just behind Arkansas and ahead of Oakland.
Shuffling starters was the "new normal" for Bucs
Last season, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow used 17 different starting lineups in the team's 32 games ... Injuries and dismissals left ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination all season. ... Bartow hoped to find more stability with his rotation in 2013-14, but he had used five different starting lineups in the first five games of the year. ... Since that time, he has played with the same starting lineup in 13 of the last 15 games, with the team going 8-5 in those contests.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
In the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Bucs -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun team, as well as former SoCon rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro.

Oh Look: Police Can Use Backpage.com To Track Down, Arrest & Convict Pimps & Prostitutes
from the why-didn't-anyone-think-of-that-before... dept
The crusading against Backpage.com has become increasingly intense and increasingly misguided lately. We get press releases all the time, full of emotional, but legally false, language, all attacking Backpage.com. No one seems to even want to recognize that attacking Backpage instead of those actually responsible only makes it that much more difficult to track down the real criminals. Some law enforcement officials are not quite as misguided. As with Craigslist, we're seeing cases where Backpage.com is instrumental in putting together the case -- in this case, against someone who had set up a brothel.
And yet, the attacks on Backpage.com continue. The whole thing is stunning to me. Here's a tool that is a goldmine for the police to collect evidence against those actually responsible for prostitution and human trafficking... and the response is to try to shut it down and drive those efforts further underground, rather than actually going after and arresting those responsible. It's shocking.

If you've been waiting to take a cruise until you are richer or older or cared less about your waistline, it may be time to stop waiting and set sail.
"In the U.S. only 20 percent of Americans cruise, according to Cruise Lines International Association, and families represent a large demographic," said Melissa Paloti, of CruiseCritic.com, which helps travelers plan cruises.
Paloti said resort-style ships such as the Norwegian Epic and Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas offer round-the-clock activities that can be great for families. Norwegian's new Epic cruise ship has 128 Studio staterooms for singles, which are great for solo travelers. Paloti provided tips for newbies:
Use a travel agent: A good travel agent can help virgin cruisers narrow their choices, especially if they are uncertain what type of cruise suits them. They can explain hidden cruise costs such as alcohol and gratuities to help you avoid an unpleasant bill at the end of your cruise.
Dining options: Most cruises let passengers choose either "traditional dining," where they dine with the same group of people at a specified time every night, or "flexible dining," where they aren't tied to a specific time.
Deals: A last-minute booking or a repositioning cruise (where a ship may need to be relocated from one ocean to another) can provide great savings. Less flexible travelers often get better prices by booking far in advance.
Payment: "Always pay for any cruise with a credit card, and review your credit card statement to make sure your final payment goes directly to the cruise company. Buy travel insurance from a third party rather than the cruise line," Paloti said.
Safety: "Cruising is an incredibly safe way to travel, with more security and built-in features than any hotel in the world," said Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor-in-chief of CruiseCritic.com.

Concrete Tabletop Accessories
Concrete is a utilitarian material rarely used for decorative purposes. That's why the contrast of mixing this hard functional material with the gracious experience of formal dining is so interesting.
Using concrete to decorate your tabletop, will definitely spark the curiosity of your guests. Like all good things some people will love it and some people will hate it. Regardless, it makes a statement. It says, "I'm bold and urban, but I have a sense of humor, so don't worry about having more than one glass of wine."
That's exactly the kind of message I want to send to my guests!

• Candlestick, $50.47, by Tove Adman on Scandinavian Design Center.
• Tumbler, $18, by 25togo on Yanko Design.
• Wine Coolers, $34, by Concrete Revolution.
• Napkin rings, $49, by 22 Design Studio on Design Boom.

Caught between a poop and a wet place. (New Member)
I apologise for the length of the post but I didn't want to leave out any info that may be the one clue needed to resolve this issue. Also, this was laboriously written in my cell phone, so please excuse any words that don't fit or make any sense, it is the result of my phones word auto compete prog called swype.
Although the title is an obvious attempt at humor there is a very serious side to this.
Female mix breed dog, estimate 13-14 years old. Rescued animal, was about 6 y/o and abandoned at vets by owner who didn't want to pay a vet bill. She'd been hit by a car, both back legs broken one amputated the other required its knee surgically repaired. There was also some spinal damage as she seemed to have difficulty making her remaining leg do what she wanted it to. Ie-walking with the top of the foot to the ground rather than the pad, and also not being able to use it to scratch her ear very well as it just sort of flops around rather than the rapid movement dogs do when they scratch their ear with a hind leg. This did improve somewhat though and she eventually started to walk on her pad again 6-8 months after the accident.
Current issue
- About 6-8 months ago she developed diarhea. Extremely liquidy diarhea. It was wet season and giardia was suspected and she was put on metronidozole. cleared the diarhea right up. 4 or 5 days later the runs were back. Into the vets for testing, giardia still suspected but not found positive for. More metro diarhea gone. This started a cycle of her being on metro more often than not since then as the metro cleared up the poops, and medical wise the next steps were to be colonoscopy and ultrasound and the money was running thin since as my partner (my mother) in the house we purchased passed away about a year ago, I'm paying the full mortgage and until it is finished in 2 more years money is and will be until that time, very tight. But I digress....So I kept her on the lowest dosage of metro that worked which is 1/2 of a 250mg tab morning and night. All was well until 2 weeks ago at which time she started to have the odd accident in the house (peeing). It was very hot a Vancouver lower mainland summer 30-35 celcius/95-100 farenheit, and I chalked it up to her drinking extra water due to the unusual heat. Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be the case as the temperatures are now much more moderate and the accidents have become much more frequent. At least one a day. Today though I saw something that really put me on the alert. I had just woken up, and was out of bed about 10 minutes. Just gathering my bearings so to speak and getting ready to bring her to the back yard to do her business as I have to help her, at least with the steps. She was laying there, awake, in front of me on her side and urine began gouting out of her full stream. No whining to "hurry up dad, I gotta pee." As she normally would, not really acknowleging she was peeing at all. When I said in a disapointed voice "ohhh Farah!!." she even wagged her tail at me a bit. So she may not even know it's happening. The accidents are not close together in time. Usually when I'm sleeping, or during the 9 hours my job and travel to and from require me to be away from home. An amount of time she had no trouble holding her urine for. Actually, on occasion I've had to work overtime, a 12 hour shift and an hour total driving time, at least twice a month and she has never messed the floor.
I'm worried that it may be the metro but I fear the return of the diarhea more than the pee. I need to have as much info as possible before I go to the vets as I won't be able to afford a bunch of trips to them. I hope you all have some suggestions, of what might be going on here and what should be done about it.
In closing I should say that although this dog is a rather old gal she remains very happy, alert, enjoys her food immensly, and loves the company of myself and even the 3 cats I inherited from my dear old mum. I love her alot and rue the thought of having to put her down. On the other side of the fence, the cold Canadian winter is coming and the days of open doors and windows are quickly coming to a close. I intend to do a good carpet cleaning but if this isn't resolved it won't be long before the place smells like hell again and I'll be locked in a smallish 1100 sqft rancher behind closed doors and windows with a noxious odor and 3 litter boxes to boot.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Wow, first I just want to say how amazing you are for taking care of this sweet girl.
Regarding the diarrhea, I wonder if she perhaps has some sort of food intolerance or inflammatory bowel disease, and that's why you see improvement while on the metronidazole. Unfortunately it sounds like it's only suppressing the symptoms and not actually resolving the source of the problem. As well, long term use of metronidazole has its own set of side effects, some of them neurological. I have no idea if that would result in the random acts of peeing that you're starting to see, or if it's a completely unrelated issue.
Some questions: what does your girl eat, and how long has she been eating it? Has an "elimination diet" ever been tried? (that's where you exclusively feed a single novel protein source like venison or rabbit for a period of time, usually a few months, and eliminate all hyper-allergenic grains like corn, wheat, soy etc.). If not, that might be something to consider.
Other more holistic things to think about are slippery elm bark powder to help firm up her stool, and also the use of a high potency, multi-strain probiotic (something from a human health food store, not the vet).
Speaking of holistic, it would certainly be ideal if you could take her to a holistic vet for a consult. I realize that cost is an issue, and holistic vets are often initially more expensive than conventional vets, but over the long term a good one can actually be quite a bit cheaper.
Either way, I think a urinalysis would be a good starting point and it shouldn't be terribly expensive. A senior blood panel could also provide some clues.
I really hope you can figure out what's going on with your doggie. In the meantime, would putting puppy pads down in various places around the house help?

I too would be curious to know the answers to SCM's questions.
and wow what a great pet mom you are
At 13-14 years it's possible that there's some urinary control issues. A practical solution (if this is difficult to solve medically) might be doggie diapers.

Flagyl can have very serious side effects and best used sparingly for short amounts of time. I did a quick google and an adverse effect of flagyl is frequent or painful urination, so that definitely could be it. Flagyl temporarily paralyzed my girl long ago, and it made my boy stumbly after 3 days on it. My girl now is currently on it, once a day, every other day, but the internal medicine vet is concerned about its use.
Something else like amoxicillin might help, or try a bland homecooked diet (say beef and overcooked rice, etc.) There are other things that might cause the diarrhea other than giardia.
Sorry it took so long to reply to the replies but I've been very miserable over the situation. I ended up having to put my baby down. Probably the hardest thing I've ever had to make myself do. I woke up the morning following my original post and my girl couldn't stand and the look in her eyes tore my heart up. The next day was worse with her pretty much refusing food and water. So being that she was 15 years old and had been crippled up and 3 legged from being hit by a car when she was about 5 and with her original owner I knew the time was right to let her go with a bit of dignity. She's out running in grassy spring fields now waiting for me to come along in my own time to throw the ball for her. I haven't felt anything so strongly since my mom passed away. The cats really miss her too. My one cat, dickens(fem), so named by my mom from whom I inherited her, because she's a real lil dickens. Always into some kind of mischief. Anyways, lil Dickens used to be great friends with, and curl up with the dog, Farrah, and sleep most of the night there. This was a godsend since Dickens is very social and the other two cats are very much loners. Also, as Farrahs' vision had got worse in her old age and her immobility didn't give her many options to entertain herself when I was away from the house for 9-10 hours at work and at night she wouldn't have to be alone. Now that Farrah is gone little dickens wants to move into my bed with me and Caesar. She pesters Caesar because she wants to curl up with him and he doesn't like that and hisses, spits and swats at her, then she wants under the covers with me but wants to point the wrong way with her bum pushed up in my face. She struggles when I try to turn her around and point her backside towards my feet but eventually she settles for sitting on my chest or bladder which isn't much better but at least she leaves Caesars corner alone. Basically my bed isn't such a restful place right now. Lol.......I hadn't thought about how much this would affect Dickens, but for now she won't leave my side and follows me all around the house and even, very rare for a cat, comes running straight way when I call.
So, we're all sad here I guess and missing my baby girl.
I am so sorry to hear this. I had to put my dog down not long after I lost my mom and it was also the difficult thing I had to do. in sweet girl
I am very sorry

Now, I'm not a lawyer. I do happen to come from a family of lawyers, but that's not really here nor there for this discussion. The group where I work in IBM's Information Mangement has just produced a pretty cool part of the eDiscovery puzzle. It's called eDiscovery Analyzer. As you can see in the announcement letter, it works in conjunction with other IBM products to analyze email content in a repository.
The cool part is what's under the hood here. Based on the open, unstructured information management architecture-based search and text analytics (known as UIMA to those who know and love it), this product processes the text inside as well as the associated information about all the emails. This processing in turn allows a legal email analyzer person to work with and filter based on extracted entities from the email, such as people and company names, and stuff like sender, recipient and date. Combine that with powerful free-text search and you really have some amazing capability to categorize, gather, flag... this really helps a legal staff when they're asked to provide exactly what's needed and no more.
Now... what if you had this kind of capability on other information besides legal email repositories in your enterprise. What would you do with it? What other business problems could this kind of technology solve for you?

There's more to the Saguenay-Lac St. Jean region than blueberries, magnificent dairy products, aluminum and the legendary Tremblays. It's also a little bit of cycling heaven on the flat terrain surrounding the huge lake, the remnant of an ancient sea, perfect for all levels of cyclists, from young families to experts and even their grandparents.
The development of such facilities as wide highway shoulders and dedicated paths, sometimes running parallel to each other, make the Véloroute des Bleuets (Blueberry Bike Path) a crown jewel in the Route Verte cycling network of Quebec and a major attraction in the Kingdom of the Saguenay.
A circuit of the lake - close to 300 kilometres - takes riders past endless fields of cultivated, low-rise blueberry fields and stacks of white beehive boxes whose inhabitants pollinate the plants; farms with bucolic pastures feeding grazing dairy cattle; and cheese factories churning out blocks of organic cheddar and squeaky curds.
The path travels over a dam of the giant Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum plant at Alma, swings over the Péribonka River on a boardwalk several hundred metres in length near Ste. Monique and is assigned designated lanes on the streets of the tidy and prosperous towns.
Everyone seems to be pitching in to make cycling comfortable and pleasurable. For example, a suspension bridge for cyclists, joggers and walkers has been built alongside the vehicle bridge on Blvd. des Pères over the Mistassini River in Dolbeau-Mistassini.
The terrain was idyllic for our group of eight - including six grandfathers, and ranging in age from late-50s to 77 - which travelled the circuit in early June. Our most senior member was Ralph Kendall, a native of Montreal and now a resident of Ottawa. A world traveller, Kendall has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and hiked the full length of the Appalachian Trail in the United States. Five of us trekked to Everest Base Camp in Nepal last October, so we are accustomed to this kind of trip.
What follows is a day-by-day account of our journey, which covered a total of 535 kilometres, including the distance from Chicoutimi to the lake and the ride along Highway 172 from Chicoutimi to Tadoussac.
Monday: After driving from Wakefield, Ottawa and Montreal, we arrive at the Motel Panoramique on the Saguenay River in Chicoutimi. We head downtown for a so-so supper, which includes a big glop of cheese on pasta.
On our return to the motel, our eyes are attracted to the river, where rocks have been bared by the outgoing tide. It rises and falls four to six metres. Who knew there was a tide here? It's a discovery for our group.
Tuesday: My friends pedal up a steep hill to reach Route 8, the Véloroute des Bleuets, which will take us around the lake. We leave two cars at the motel and I drive the support car stuffed with our bags, spare tires and tubes, so it's no sweat for me. The gang rides past the huge Alcan Jonquière facility with its many stacks and into the countryside. We pass forests and farms, arriving in Hébertville, the cradle of Lac St. Jean, for lunch. We change drivers and it's my turn to ride.
The lake comes into view at Métabetchouan, and we proceed through St. Gédéon to Alma, where our leader, Bob Johnston, of Ottawa, has reserved two townhouses at the Complexe Dam-en-Terre overlooking the lake. (Before the trip, Johnston made advance reservations for accommodation at each stop, taking that chore off our hands.) Archie Smith, of Wakefield, Que., takes his bike to a shop where the chain is repaired for $12. The bike, of unknown vintage, cost him $10 at a recent garage sale. The repairman says he would have liked to replace the chain, but he no longer stocks chains for the old five-sprocket rear cassette. The distance from Chicoutimi to Alma was 120 kilometres.
Wednesday: We ride in light rain through the pretty neighbourhoods of Alma and into the country, hitting the trails and shoulders of Highway 169. Some guys take the trail through the beautiful Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon and others continue along Highway 169. I stop for lunch as the sun begins to shine at the Ste. Monique municipal park and pick up the bike path for the section along the boardwalk over the Péribonka River into the village. The path runs parallel to Highway 169 past the farms established on the flat terrain on the east side of the lake. The highway is called Route Maria Chapdelaine and eventually I come to a little house that is the Louis Hémon Museum, a tribute to the French author who wrote the novel about early pioneer life in the region. It met large success after Hémon's untimely death at the age of 32 in northern Ontario. The novel has been turned into three films, the last one (and the only Canadian version) starring the lovely Carole Laure. We cover 85 kms and land at the Motel Diligence in Dolbeau-Mistassini.
Thursday: We continue to follow Highway 169 and the bike paths through Albanel and Normandin to St. Félicien, where we pop in to the Fromagerie Ferme des Chutes for fresh organic curds from the milk of Holstein cows. I have the curds for lunch while sitting on a bench in front of the Caisse Desjardins. We cycle along paths to Roberval, where we stop at Camping Mont-Plaisant after covering 85 kilometres.
Friday: We follow the paths through Roberval and the countryside to Métabetchouan, and then leave the lake heading to Hébertville for lunch. It rains heavily for the rest of the day to Chicoutimi. In all, I did 120 kms, because I overshot the motel and had to double back a few kilometres.
We plan to have dinner at a steak restaurant, but it is full and we end up at an eclectic little spot called Sud Café run by transplanted Peruvian Marcos Germa and his Québécoise wife, Suzanne. After we arrive, Marcos shuts the restaurant, which is full of his artwork, and the couple serve us a potent apéritif called pisco, containing mango juice and something stronger. What follows is a superb meal of corn and cilantro soup and, in my case, saltido beef whipped up by Suzanne, who has mastered Peruvian cuisine.
Saturday: We follow Route 8 and its long climbs along Highway 172 to Tadoussac. We end up at the nearby Innu-Montagnais reserve of Essipit, where we spend the night in two A-frame cottages overlooking the St. Lawrence River. We dine at the Poissonerie, the reserve's restaurant attached to the Pêcherie Manicouagan, which sells fresh seafood. I have clam chowder (the clams are called mactres de Stimpson) and fresh turbot caught on the north shore. It may be the best seafood meal I have had.
The go-to guide for cyclists is the Route Verte du Québec, available in English as Cycling in Quebec ($24.95). It can be ordered online at www.velo.qc.ca and contains excellent maps of paths, lists of bike shops and accommodations (camping, cabins or bed and breakfasts and motels) along with public transport such as taxis and intercity bus companies that can get you and your bike to the regions where you want to cycle.
Cyclists can do the circuit around Lac St. Jean in as little as three days, beginning and ending at Alma, for example.
Chicoutimi is a two-to-three hour drive by car along Highway 175 from Quebec City.
Sud Café, 317 Racine Est, Chicoutimi, 418-549-5777.
Poissonerie Les Escoumins (Pêcherie Manicouagan), 152 Marcellin Est, Les Escoumins (Essipit), 418-233-3122.

One of the sources for interior trends is Swedish Formex and the Milan furniture fair. Camilla Julner at "Vi i Villa" has met with some experts and have summarized some trends below.
- Use the colour grey as a base colour and complement with "dirty" or washed out pastels
- Lamps with an industrial feeling is still a trend
- Change silver to brass, copper and bronze
- Dare to mix brave patterns or don´t use patterns to get an elegant look.
- Use textiles such as curtains to get a soft feeling in your home
- Dare to use black with black
|Washed out pastels
|Copper lamp
|Grey colour as a base
|Black with black
Pictures from 1: Via Items by Designbird, 2&3: vtwonen, 4:Tumblr
Louise Karlsten from Colour House, a company that works a lot with trends also emphasize that our homes will more and more be influenced by the trips we have made to other countries. To reuse and combine old with new interior is still a trend as well as washed out colours.
Lotta Ahlvar, VD at Svenska Moderådet summarize the coming years with that more and more people question the behaviour buying and then throwing away their belongings. The simplicity and the nature influences us a lot, and that we will see with more natural colours together with white and material such as concrete. Transparent glass, rough wood together with colours such as white, grey and beige is also a trend for 2013. Lotta also mention that brass is very popular in general in interior design and industrial lamps.
So much inspiration for 2013! What plans do you have for 2013 and have you seen any special trends so far that you will bring in to your home? I just feel like start changing already. How about you? At home we have starting to plan for our new guest room. That and other journeys I will share with you at Make-Living and as always...some DIY. Some DIY projects that I made during 2012 you can find at the blog such as the outdoor sofa, the cloth stand and the magazine shelf.
Have a lovely day all!


text: Market Outlook: Corn and beans up, but volatility continues January 30, 2013 02:43 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Reports Brighten Corn, Soybean Price Prospects Higher than expected U.S. livestock feeding boosts price prospects for corn and soybeans, but analysts say not to be too tardy in marketing 2013 crops. With big acreages likely and trend yields, prices could approach break-even by harvest. Corn and soybean futures are mostly moving higher, a result of the upbeat numbers in USDA's Jan. 11 reports. "The reports are bullish for corn," says Chad Hart, ag economist at Iowa State University. For now through spring, he looks for $6.70 to $7.30 old-crop futures prices, but $5.70 to $6.30 new-crop prices. Jim Hilker, ag economist at Michigan State University, looks for more upside in old-crop corn futures, with a price between now and spring of $7.25 to $7.75 per bushel. He suggests selling a portion of old crop at rallies above $7.60: "Such tight stocks set us up for incredible price volatility." On new crop, the most plausible set of events takes the market down to a $5.25 per bushel cash price at harvest, and that's assuming a trend yield of 158 bu. per acre, Hilker says. If December futures get back to $6.40 to $6.58 in February, he suggests having 15% to 20% sold. The big news for corn and soybeans is that USDA raised corn's feed and residual use by 300 million bushels for the 2012/13 crop on higher than expected livestock production. Ending stocks are projected 44 million bushels lower at 602 million. The season-average price for corn is unchanged at $6.80 to $8 per bushel. On soybeans,prices moved higher on stronger corn numbers. USDA, however, lowered its soybean price expectation 30¢, with an expected 2012/13 range of $13.50 to $15 per bushel for a season-average price. Hart looks for $14 to $14.50 on old-crop soybean futures. Moving to the 2013 crop, the November futures contract was shy of $13 last month, and Hilker advises pricing a percentage at levels above $13.40, which is about $13 cash. "It's possible prices could get under $12 this fall," he says. Wild Ride for Corn, Soybeans Corn and soybeans have been far more volatile than other commodities, such as oil and even the stock market, and that may be the harbinger of more to come. Corn prices swung 42% during 2012, with soybean prices swinging even more, 50% during the year, note Iowa State University (ISU) economists in a recent report. By comparison, the Dow Jones Index was relatively quiet during 2012, swinging roughly 12%. The Dow hit its annual low point in early June, down 2%; peaked in the fall at a positive 10%; but then retreated to fi nish the year up 6%. Energy prices had stronger movements. Oil prices started the year strong and were up nearly 7% in February. But increasing domestic supplies and continued lack of strength in gasoline demand brought oil prices lower into the summer. During the year, oil prices had a 31% price range and finished down 10% from the start of the year. Corn prices struggled during the fi rst half of 2012 before heading far higher under drought pressure. Both corn and soybeans hit their highs right before harvest and then retreated. Both ended the year in positive territory, however, with corn up 6% during the year, while soybeans gained 16%, ISU economists point out. Much of the price pressure during the last quarter of 2012 was driven by a pullback in demand. Corn usage has been down across the board, while soybean demand was split. Domestic soybean demand has been down, while export demand has been up. One sector taking a particularly hard hit has been ethanol demand, as plant margins fell. Ethanol maintained its cost advantage to gasoline, which supported ethanol margins. Those margins were not necessarily passed back to ethanol plants, however. Ethanol production declined 10% as corn prices rose last summer, and that production has not returned. Back to news

WESTPORT — The Planning Board invites the Westport community for input to guide revisions to the Solar Energy Systems Bylaw from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Town Hall Annex.
WESTPORT — The Planning Board invites the Westport community for input to guide revisions to the Solar Energy Systems Bylaw from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12 at the Town Hall Annex.
The proposed solar systems bylaw did not pass by the required two-thirds majority at the recent Special Town Meeting, and the Planning Board feels it would will benefit from more discussion with residents.
All residents are invited to join the board on Jan. 12 to share concerns and ask questions about a revision of the bylaw.
While elements of the bylaw need some clarification and revision, the bylaw is necessary to establish local control over large scale systems that are exempt from state zoning, Town Planner Sarah Raposa said in a recent press release. The proposed bylaw would have created a tiered regulatory structure for the permitting of all solar energy systems.
Small systems could be installed "by right" at any home or business — with no permit other than a building permit required, she explained. The Planning Board defined a "small" system as a ground-mounted system occupying 1,000 square feet of land area or less, or any sized roof-mounted system.
Area coverage rather than energy output was used because solar panels keep changing (panels of a given size keep getting more efficient) and zoning bylaws deal with land area measurements rather than electrical output.
"At town meeting, we heard concerns relative to small lots and that the threshold was too restrictive for small lot owners to capture a sufficient amount of solar energy for home use. We factored into our analysis a typical residential system providing approximately 7,500 kilowatt hours per year, with a panel area of 500-600 square feet using standard technology," Ms. Raposa noted.
The Planning Board is eager to learn more from the community at this listening session prior to any redrafting of the bylaw and public hearings on revisions which may be held in February and March.
"We invite concerned community members to stay in touch with the Planning Board, participate and collaborate," Ms. Raposa said in the press release.
The draft bylaw presented to Town Meeting may be obtained from the Planning Board Office or on the Town's website: www.Westport-MA.com.

Angelina O'Mara's plea came Tuesday after three days of trial.
A Minnesota woman has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the shooting death of her ex-husband last year.
Angelina O'Mara admitted that she killed James Kelly O'Mara in his Sauk Rapids apartment by shooting him once in the head.
Angelina O'Mara's plea came Tuesday after three days of trial. She admitted that she brought a .22-caliber rifle to James O'Mara's apartment late Oct. 28, 2011, and shot him as he was lying on the couch.
O'Mara also is accused of fatally shooting her boyfriend, Michael Pies. His body was found in an Ashland, Wis., motel room several days later. She's charged with first-degree intentional homicide in Wisconsin.
The St. Cloud Times (http://on.sctimes.com/XClFie) reports O'Mara is scheduled to be sentenced in her ex-husband's death Dec. 21 in Benton County District Court.

Good morning Orthodox of the West Coast!Our dear moderator Anastasios has sanctioned our use of Board News to discuss a possible West Coast gathering in early 2007. Does anyone have an interest? Also, where is everybody - where should we hold it?Reply back before Christmas -Authio
I've always wanted to see San Francisco. If you decide to to hold it in SF February/March, then I would love to join you!I'll even wear flowers in my hair!
Any more West Coast Orthodox interested?
I don't have a preference between spring break and after school gets out in June, either one is fine. Oh and just so everyone else knows what dates authiodionitist means when he says "spring break"- March 18th-25th.
Oh I suppose I will go....I like the idea of having it in San Francisco, then we can see the relics of Saint John of San Francisco!
San Francisco is one of my favorite cities; I'd love to take Prebytera there! Also, there is a relic of St. Anne in Roseville---I think it's the only such one in North America, and is Presbytera's matron, so we'd always hoped to go there. I'm not quite sure of the distance between SF and Roseville, but getting there and back would be a great daytrip to see the countryside!

Social dancing is physical manna for your health. It gets your body moving and your neurons firing. Morris dancing takes this to another level, with the myriad foot patterns and sword movements that have to be learned in order to accurately and smoothly dance within your group of six. This is what I discovered in my capacity as an extra person for my school's May Day dances.
Turns out that every year on May Day each grade in this K-9 school has its own dance to perform in front of the entire school, which includes parents and grandparents. Held outdoors on the field, all the students dress in their summer best, and for ninety minutes there is swirling and foot stomping, dosey-doeing and allemanding. After a school-wide Virginia Reel, the ninth grade winds up the festivities with a Morris Sword Dance.
For the dance, the students need to be grouped in sixes. This year, there were 19 students in the ninth grade, necessitating 5 faculty volunteers to help make four groups of six. Of course, I volunteered! Besides enjoying the social component, I had to learn four rounds of sword dancing, reciting on a daily basis right over left, flat on top so that I could remember to pass my sword properly, thus winding up with a locked star.
It wasn't that the dance was difficult, but rather when we perform, it becomes a race to the music to see which group creates their star first. The adrenaline rush of trying to be the first with the star is often what causes any given group to muck up with the passing of the swords. In the end, all that really mattered was the tremendous fun everyone had dancing, coupled with marching around the rectangular field being high-fived by all the kids in the other grades!
This first set is my group practicing earlier in the day. For the actual dance, each ninth grade group dons their costumes (held secret till the actual dance), and my group became super heroes. (Wonder Woman, in case you were wondering 😉 ) Scroll down to see us in as our super selves!

Google provides Google Talk plugin as rpm or deb packages for 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. To get it on Gentoo when you try
emerge -pv google-talkplugin
you can see that it is masked by license. It means you have to accept the license before installing. You can find all licenses at
/usr/portage/licenses. To get a specific license try
ls /usr/portage/licenses | grep google
You can read the license and if you accept it then add a line to
/etc/portage/package.license to reflect it. In this case, the line would be
and in general it is:
<full package name>
<license name>
Now when you try emerging it you get a message saying that the license does not allow mirroring. This is why the fetch restriction is in place. The message also tells you to download the .deb package suitable to your architecture and put it in
/usr/portage/distfiles. The problem is Google provides you current version and not the version considered stable by Gentoo. Moreover, the version 1.8 which is considered stable by Gentoo is not available according a Gentoo bug [I wish I had found that out earlier].
So the 1.8 version ebuild is for those who have a copy of the older Google Talk plugin. All others have to unmask the newer version according to their architectures. I had to add the following line to
=www-plugins/google-talkplugin-188.8.131.52 ~amd64
Now portage can fetch it for you. However, if you have already downloaded latest version of the plugin then you can use the command as root to copy it to you
distfiles folder and portage will not have any checksum error either if the versions have not changed.
cp -v Downloads/google-talkplugin_current_amd64.deb /usr/portage/distfiles/google-talkplugin_184.108.40.206-1_amd64.deb
Now portage will not have to redownload the package.

Amy Broome '11
Amy Broome '11, an international relations major from St. Johnsbury, Vt., won a Fulbright Scholarship to Oman, where she will research the ways in which foreign tourism there shapes and changes modern Omani identity. At Wheaton, Broome pursued a passion for languages that began with her study of Latin at age 11. She started with Arabic and Italian in her freshman year and later added Mandarin Chinese. In her junior year, she spent one semester in Beijing and one in Cairo, where she sharpened her Arabic. She notes that the increasing numbers of foreign visitors to the once-isolated Sultanate of Oman have brought "new cultures, ideas and languages with them—novelties that undoubtedly affect Omanis and Omani society at large." By studying the effects of cross-cultural interactions, she hopes to paint "a comprehensive picture of how the influx of foreign travelers affects a society's perceptions of self and of the outside world." She also hopes to analyze her findings "in a way that fosters wider intercultural understanding."

Learn which services are listening on your box
As a responsible member of the *nix community, it's a good idea to know exactly which services on your box are listening for connections from the outside world. To that end, what follows is a beginner-oriented guide to answer the questions: Which daemons are listening? Who is connecting to them? What networks have access to them?
Note that this is written specifically for FreeBSD versions 6.x and 7.0. Different OSes and different versions may require different approaches.
Which daemons are listening?
This question can be answered simply enough using the sockstat program. Example:
> sockstat -4l USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS www httpd 1319 3 tcp4 10.0.0.102:80 *:* www httpd 1318 3 tcp4 10.0.0.102:80 *:* www httpd 1317 3 tcp4 10.0.0.102:80 *:* www httpd 1316 3 tcp4 10.0.0.102:80 *:* www httpd 1315 3 tcp4 10.0.0.102:80 *:* root httpd 1203 3 tcp4 10.0.0.102:80 *:* root sendmail 699 4 tcp4 127.0.0.1:25 *:* root syslogd 563 6 udp4 10.0.0.62:514 *:*
In this example, we see plenty of information about listening daemons, including the user the daemon is running as, the daemon name itself, the PID, protocol type (tcp or udp; well beyond the scope of this explanation), and the interface it is actively listening on.
[ For users who are familiar with GNU/Linux, this output contains a lot of the same information that you might get from the command: netstat -ltunp ]
Who is connecting to the listening daemons (real-time)?
To see who currently has active connections (inbound or outbound, actually) to any of the daemons, we'll use a slightly different invocation of sockstat.
> sockstat -4 USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS ryuf firefox-bi 93662 36 tcp4 10.0.0.62:56582 126.96.36.199:80 ... www httpd 1315 3 tcp4 10.0.0.102:80 184.108.40.206:61018 ...
In this example, we can see the user 'ryuf' is connected to tcp port 80 on the remote host 22.214.171.124 (which just happens to be google). This is a connection from a local user to a remote web server.
We can also see a connection that is associated with the user 'www'. It appears to be coming from a high-numbered tcp port on a remote IP address to tcp port 80 on our local machine. This is a connection from a remote user to our web server.
Who is connecting to the listening daemons (non real-time)?
Keeping track of this information is important, and it's generally the job of your daemon's connection logging. Additionally, if you are running a packet filtering firewall, you may choose to implement logging at that level as well.
Configuring this is beyond the scope of this explanation. A good place to start would be the documentation for your daemon and/or firewall.
What networks have access to the daemons?
This question is a little trickier to answer, as there are a lot of variables that may be involved, depending on your situation. For example: if your box is behind a packet filtering appliance (firewall or switch) or behind some sort of NAT device (e.g. a SOHO router), that will complicate testing who really has access to your daemons considerably. (This becomes especially complicated if any of those appliances or devices are managed by someone other than you.)
Nonetheless, we have a very effective tool (among several) to test that your daemons are listening to the networks you think they are, and that your host-level firewall rules are working as you'd expect: the popular nmap. It can be installed from the security/nmap port.
Note that for useful results, bear in mind all the gotchas above, and test from another box on a network that is appropriate given your situation. It is virtually useless to run a nmap scan against localhost on your own machine. Doing so tells you nothing that you couldn't glean from sockstat output.
In one of its simplest invocations, we will scan two different tcp ports on a remote host. Example:
> nmap -P0 web.bunnyland.local -p 80,443 Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2008-05-02 12:05 CDT Interesting ports on web.bunnyland.local (10.0.0.191): PORT STATE SERVICE 80/tcp filtered http 443/tcp open https Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 11.213 seconds
From the output we see that tcp port 80 is "filtered". This likely means that there is a packet filtering rule that drops tcp packets to port 80 from at least my own box. We also see that tcp port 443 is "open". This means that at the TCP/IP level, I should be able to initiate a connection to port 443 on web.bunnyland.local.
[ nmap has many, many more options. See its manpages at nmap(1) and its project page to learn more. ]
That's it for now; hopefully these tips have given you a slightly clearer view of what is happening with listening daemons on your box. Stay aware and stay safe.

Thanks for this!
On my 6.3 machine I had to do a sockstat -4c to see only connected (IP4) sockets.
This is fantastic. Thanks!

A more portable way to check this is to use netstat -an.
netstat -an -f inet Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 0 *.80 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.6000 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.587 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.25 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.22 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.515 *.* LISTEN Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) udp 0 0 192.168.222.20.20996 188.8.131.52.123 udp 0 0 192.168.222.20.31964 188.8.131.52.123 udp 0 0 192.168.222.20.25209 126.96.36.199.123 udp 0 0 192.168.222.20.22752 220.127.116.11.123 udp 0 0 192.168.222.20.35148 220.127.116.11.123 udp 0 0 *.514 *.*

You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
on *nixes that don't have sockstat i use 'lsof'. its a very useful tool.
Thanks guys, I run a few OBSD machines also.

NextEra Energy is on track to add about 1.5 GW of wind energy to its portfolio this year, the company said in its third-quarter earnings announcement.
NextEra reported a third-quarter net income on a generally accepted accounting principles basis of $415 million, or $0.98 per share, compared with $407 million, or $0.97 per share, in the third quarter of 2011.
On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy's earnings were $532 million, or $1.26 per share, compared with $551 million, or $1.31 per share, in the third quarter of 2011.
According to NextEra Energy President and CEO Jim Robo, subsidiary NextEra Energy Resources is working on its largest-ever backlog of renewable energy projects.
"At NextEra Energy Resources, we expect to add approximately 1,500 MW of new U.S. wind generation this year as we continue work on a record backlog of contracted renewables projects," he notes.

Shameful: American Society Of Civil Engineers Issues DMCA Notices Against Academics For Posting Their Own Research
from the for-the-encouragement-of-learning dept
As TorrentFreak reports, the American Society of Civil Engineers has taken it up a level, hiring one of the more well-known copyright enforcement companies out there, Digimarc, to go around issuing DMCA takedown on academics uploading their own works:
Yes, basically, ASCE has declared that its own academic authors are a bunch of pirates. If you're a civil engineer, now is the time to start looking seriously at alternatives for publishing beyond the ASCE. Declaring war on the academics who provide you all of your content for free, just seems like a bad idea.
The publisher has hired the piracy protection firm Digimarc to police the internet for articles that are posted in the wild. As a result, universities all across the globe were targeted with takedown notices, which were also sent to Google in some cases.
The list of rogue researchers is long, and includes professors from MIT, Stanford, Northwestern University, University of Washington, UC Berkeley, University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin–Madison and many international universities.
Torrentfreak notes that it appears that some universities have resisted these takedown demands. Stanford, MIT and UC Berkeley still have the works in question up. Other schools, however, have quickly caved in. University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Texas-Austin appear to have pulled down the works. Because, you can't support the progress of science if your damn academics are giving away their works for free... instead of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for access to basic knowledge and research.

All model year 2015 planters will feature the new MaxEmerge 5 row unit. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Margy Eckelkamp Director of Content Development, Machinery Pete Email Updated row units provide the foundation for John Deere's high-speed planter that performs at 10 mph It's going to cause a double take in farm country when farmers double their planter speed. For model year 2015, John Deere introduces its high-performance ExactEmerge planter, which breaks conventional speed limitations—advertising speeds of 10 mph for ideal performance. Before the speed of the machine could be made known, the company developed a new family of row units. "Our goals were high-quality planter performance, which equals seed placement plus even emergence," says Elena Kaverina, product manager. "For the MaxEmerge 5 row unit, we merged the best of the MaxEmerge XP and Pro-Series. The row unit could be called the heart of any planter." The MaxEmerge 5 will be a common design across all John Deere planters for 2015 in mini, 1.6 bu., 3 bu. and 2 bu. twin-row hopper options. The meter is accessible for clean-out without removing the seed box, and switching crops is easier without tools. A common double eliminator with an adjustment knob shows settings for various crops. John Deere engineers reduced elbows and improved the vacuum source to create more uptime and maintain population on extreme sidehills. Built for speed. The new row unit is the platform for the ExactEmerge. "We addressed the top five customer needs—maintain uniform depth, accurate seed spacing, accurate seed population, easy-to-use monitoring system and no machine downtime," says Kelby Krueger, product manager. "We've been doing extensive testing for quite a few years—the past three years were in fields with growers across the Corn Belt." He shares the story of how he planted a field for a farmer test cooperator in strips at 5, 7.5, 10 and 13 mph. In side-by-side rows that were planted at 5 mph and 13 mph, the farmer saw no difference. There was no striping across the passes at different speeds. At harvest, yield was the same. Turning traditional planter setups on their head, the ExactEmerge features a rear-facing bowl-shaped meter and brush belt trench-delivery system that releases the seed only 2" from the trench bottom. "Before, the seed tube was a limiting factor in speed," Krueger says. "The brush belt controls the seed from the meter to the trench. There's no bounce or roll—just a true dead drop. It actually shoots the seed at a rearward trajectory, matching the speed of the tractor. The seed's relative ground speed is zero." As the bristles revolve around the top of the belt, they open to accept the seed and condense back tighter as it travels toward the furrow. A belt conditioner located at the bottom of the return "flicks" any residue to clean the system. With the new brush belt, a graphite-talc blend of seed lubricant is advised. With seed size variations in mind, the bowl-shaped meter and brush belt delivery provide no adjustments, despite seed shape and size. "Just as a test, we loaded the bowl meter with eight different hybrids and planted it all simultaneously with no changes," Krueger says. Redefine accuracy. The John Deere team urges farmers to rethink how they measure planter accuracy with a coefficient of variation (CV). "By breaking the accuracy to speed link, it's no longer important to just talk about singulation," Krueger says. "Rather the seed spacing, which is best measured by coefficient of variation, CV is displayed on the new SeedStar 3 HP monitor. Now with ExactEmerge, the spacing has very little degradation from the seed sensor to the ground. Data on the monitor and the spacing in the trench have never been closer." Depth control is very important due to its impact on emergence. Active down force is standard on ExactEmerge to ensure there's enough down force. "Maintaining depth control at higher speeds is really a two-step process. The first part is to create a trench at a consistent depth set by the operator. The second part is the brush belt trench delivery system placing the seed in the bottom of the trench and the seed matching the ground speed to make sure it stays there. Add these two together and there is excellent depth control," Krueger says. It's advised that seeding rate be within 5% of the optimum target rate for a field to have little to no negative yield impact. The ExactEmerge maintains population within 1% of target rates. Speed amplifies the importance of spacing accuracy and even emergence. "With increased speed, seeds per second will increase. At 5 mph, the traditional meter delivers 15 corn seeds per second. But at 10 mph, that's 30 seeds per second. For soybeans, it's around 60 seeds per second today. But at high speed, that's 135 seeds per second," Krueger says. Each row unit has two electric brushless motors, which rotate the meter and brush belt independently. The speed of the meter dictates population, and spacing is done with the brush belt. A controller on each row sets how fast the meters should turn. "Vacuum sensors are now located on the row, not the main frame. There are built-in ride-quality sensors mounted on the rows," Krueger says. The ExactEmerge planter uses an all-new 56-volt electric-drive system mounted by the CCS tank. The SeedStar 3 HP allows for live data display. At higher speeds, there's more data to analyze, including reflective seed sensors on the belt brushes that count every seed. The increased electric usage also demands more from the hydraulic system—12 gal. per minute (gpm) for the new PowerGen, versus 8 gpm with variable-rate drive. "As speed changes, so does your needed horsepower to pull the equipment. If you plant at 5 mph today and want to increase to 10 mph, it will require an 80% increase in engine horsepower," Krueger says. Back to news

Freehub swapping is the coolest thing since key parties. If you've got Reynolds' DV3K (except 2008 which used DT sourced hub), Assault, Attack, Solitude, or Strike rear wheels and you're looking to change your Campagnolo compatible freehub body for a Shimano/SRAM compatible freehub body, this is the style of freehub body you'll want.
- 9/10/11-speed compatible
- Fits 2009 to 2014 Reynolds Attack, Assault, Strike, Storm, and DV3K wheels

Whats the difference between pawl freehub and ratchet freehub?
I have a set of 2010 assault wheels that i want to upgrade to 11spd.
I have Sram S60 wheels, I read online that I can install this on them to make the wheelset 11 speed. do you know if this is true?
Easy to Install
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I took my 10 speed wheel to a shop to get this 11 speed freehub body installed and it took the mechanic at most 5 minutes to take of the old freehub body, clean the internals, relube necessary parts, install the new one- looked like a piece of cake! After watching him do it, I could have easily done it myself, I just didn't have the correct size of allen wrenches.
Works well
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So i saved a mint by buying a reynolds wheelset off ePrey that had a campy 11spd freehub installed. The urban legend that says a shimano/sram cassette will fit on a campy freehub is patently false. I ordered this item from CC and had the freehubs swapped quickly. As i was moving from 11spd to 11spd i had no issues with end caps. The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect score is because the pawls do not feel perfectly smooth in their engagement. Overall, B+
I also have a 2015 Assault SLG wheelset that I want to convert to shimano. Is this the correct freehub?
I have a 2015 Assault SLG wheelset that I want to convert to shimano. Is this the correct freehub for my wheelset? Thanks
I have Reynolds Solitude 10 speed rear wheel., and need to convert it to a 11 speed rear wheel.
How do I determine if I have the 2008 wheel which used DT sourced hub, or a Reynolds Solitude 10 speed rear Freewheel hub?
My Freewheel is the same color as in the photo, but I do not see any markings on the current 10 speed rear wheel, to determine if this is what i need.
Will this fit a 10 speed cassette or just...
Will this fit a 10 speed cassette or just an 11 speed on Reynolds solitude SE rear?
You can put a 10 speed cassette on it, but you will need to purchase an extra spacer to put behind the cassette (costs just a few dollars). See http://www.slowtwitch.com/Tech/Cassette_Spacers_2013_3978.html for a discussion of this and a chart that tells you which spacer(s) you will need (depends on the brand of cassette you have). You will also need to put a smaller end cap on (which came with my order), otherwise the wheel will not fit when you try to put it back on your bike (since the hub body is longer.
End caps not included?!
Just got off the phone with Reynolds. I want to convert my 10 sp Reynolds Assaults to 11 speed. They say that in addition to this I'll also need two new end caps, which are another $20. With new caps, she said I shouldn't need to redish the rear wheel. They're sending me the package of parts I need for $95.
Can someone confirm if this freehub body ships with the cap needed to successfully convert to 11sp? Reynolds webstore says it includes the non drive side end cap (not needed on '13/'14 wheels)
From above description:
"The 11 speed Shimano/SRAM cassette includes new end caps so conversion from 10 speed does not require the wheel to be redished." this is from the description above and makes it sound like once I buy a cassette that it includes a end cap? whut?....is that a typo? (cassette should read freehub body, right?)
is there a difference between Campy 10sp...
is there a difference between Campy 10sp and campy 11sp freehubs for DV3k wheels?
