The properties proplist_file and file are mutually exclusive.
Documents the HTTP server start options, some administrative functions and also specifies the Erlang Web server callback API
Type definitions that are used more than once in this module:
boolean() = true | false
string() = list of ASCII characters
path() = string() - representing a file or directory path.
ip_address() = {N1,N2,N3,N4} % IPv4 | {K1,K2,K3,K4,K5,K6,K7,K8} % IPv6
hostname() = string() - representing a host ex "foo.bar.com"
property() = atom()
A web server can be configured to start when starting the inets application or started dynamically in runtime by calling the Inets application API inets:start(httpd, ServiceConfig), or inets:start(httpd, ServiceConfig, How), see inets(3) Below follows a description of the available configuration options, also called properties.
File properties
When the web server is started at application start time the properties should be fetched from a configuration file that could consist of a regular erlang property list, e.i. [{Option, Value}] where Option = property() and Value = term(), followed by a full stop, or for backwards compatibility a Apache like configuration file. If the web server is started dynamically at runtime you may still specify a file but you could also just specify the compleat property list.
{server_root, "/urs/local/www"} -> ServerRoot /usr/local/www
<Directory Dir> <Properties handled as described above> </Directory>

info(Pid) ->
info(Pid, Properties) -> [{Option, Value}]
Properties = [property()]
Option = property()
Value = term()
Fetches information about the HTTP server. When called with only the pid all properties are fetched, when called with a list of specific properties they are fetched. Available properties are the same as the servers start options.
Pid is the pid returned from inets:start/[2,3]. Can also be retrieved form inets:services/0, inets:services/0 see inets(3)
info(Address, Port) ->
info(Address, Port, Properties) -> [{Option, Value}]
Address = ip_address()
Port = integer()
Properties = [property()]
Option = property()
Value = term()
Fetches information about the HTTP server. When called with only the Address and Port all properties are fetched, when called with a list of specific properties they are fetched. Available properties are the same as the servers start options.
Address has to be the ip-address and can not be the hostname.
reload_config(Config, Mode) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Config = path() | [{Option, Value}]
Option = property()
Value = term()
Mode = non_disturbing | disturbing
Reloads the HTTP server configuration without restarting the server. Incoming requests will be answered with a temporary down message during the time the it takes to reload.
Available properties are the same as the servers start options, although the properties bind_address and port can not be changed.
If mode is disturbing, the server is blocked forcefully and all ongoing requests are terminated and the reload will start immediately. If mode is non-disturbing, no new connections are accepted, but the ongoing requests are allowed to complete before the reload is done.
ModData = #mod{} -record(mod, { data = [], socket_type = ip_comm, socket, config_db, method, absolute_uri, request_uri, http_version, request_line, parsed_header = [], entity_body, connection }).
The fields of the mod record has the following meaning:
Module:do(ModData)-> {proceed, OldData} | {proceed, NewData} | {break, NewData} | done
OldData = list()
NewData = [{response,{StatusCode,Body}}] | [{response,{response,Head,NewBody}}] | [{response,{already_sent,Statuscode,Size}]
StausCode = integer()
Body = io_list() | nobody | {Fun, Arg}
Head = [HeaderOption]
HeaderOption = {Option, Value} | {code, StatusCode}
Option = allow | cache_control | content_MD5 | content_encoding | content_encoding | content_language | content_length | content_location | content_range | content_type | date | etag | expires | last_modified | location | pragma | retry_after | server | trailer | transfer_encoding
Value = string()
Fun = fun( Arg ) -> sent| close | Body
Arg = [term()]
When a valid request reaches httpd it calls do/1 in each module defined by the Modules configuration option. The function may generate data for other modules or a response that can be sent back to the client.
The field data in ModData is a list. This list will be the list returned from the from the last call to do/1.
Body is the body of the http-response that will be sent back to the client an appropriate header will be appended to the message. StatusCode will be the status code of the response see RFC2616 for the appropriate values.
Head is a key value list of HTTP header fields. the server will construct a HTTP header from this data. See RFC 2616 for the appropriate value for each header field. If the client is a HTTP/1.0 client then the server will filter the list so that only HTTP/1.0 header fields will be sent back to the client.
If NewBody is returned and equal to {Fun,Arg} The Web server will try apply/2. on Fun with Arg as argument and excpect that the fun either returns a list (Body) that is a HTTP-repsonse or the atom sent if the HTTP-response is sent back to the client. If close is returned from the fun something has gone wrong and the server will signal this to the client by closing the connection.
Module:load(Line, AccIn)-> eof | ok | {ok, AccOut} | {ok, AccOut, {Option, Value}} | {ok, AccOut, [{Option, Value}]} | {error, Reason}
Line = string()
AccIn = [{Option, Value}]
AccOut = [{Option, Value}]
Option = property()
Value = term()
Reason = term()
Load is used to convert a line in a Apache like configuration file to a {Option, Value} tuple. Some more complex configuration options such as directory and security_directory will create an accumulator.This function does only need clauses for the options implemented by this particular callback module.
Module:store({Option, Value}, Config)-> {ok, {Option, NewValue}} | {error, Reason}
Line = string()
Option = property()
Config = [{Option, Value}]
Value = term()
Reason = term()
This function is used to check the validity of the configuration options before saving them in the internal database. This function may also have a side effect e.i. setup necessary extra resources implied by the configuration option. It can also resolve possible dependencies among configuration options by changing the value of the option. This function does only need clauses for the options implemented by this particular callback module .
Module:remove(ConfigDB) -> ok | {error, Reason}
ConfigDB = ets_table()
Reason = term()
When httpd is shutdown it will try to execute remove/1 in each Erlang web server callback module. The programmer may use this to function to clean up resources that may have been crated in the store function.
parse_query(QueryString) -> [{Key,Value}]
QueryString = string()
Key = string()
Value = string()
parse_query/1 parses incoming data to erl and eval scripts (See mod_esi(3)) as defined in the standard URL format, that is '+' becomes 'space' and decoding of hexadecimal characters (%xx).

Well, I guess if your character is named "Dana"... I love a good Ghostbusters reference as much as the next guy… actually, scratch that. I think it's probably safe to say that I like a good Ghostbusters reference even more than the next guy, on average.
So I got a kick out of it I came face to face with Zuul in Diablo III last night. Specifically, a rare Succubus named "Zuul The Murderer", which I was not aware was the full name of the Gatekeeper of Gozer.
Here's my monk, punching Zuul in the face:
To be honest, this Azmodan fellow is something of a blowhard; I think I'd find a gigantic marshmellow man more threatening. (Or, you know, a giant Sloar.)

Raymond Sarlot, Who Restored Chateau Marmont, Dies at 89
Sarlot restored the decaying hotel, which was declared a historic-cultural monument in 1976.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Raymond Sarlot, who restored the decaying Chateau Marmont, ensuring its place as a Hollywood landmark, has died. He was 89.
His wife, Sally Rae Sarlot, tells The Los Angeles Times that Sarlot died April 27.
Once a draw for celebrities such as Greta Garbo and Marilyn Monroe, the 1927 hotel was falling apart and verging on foreclosure when Sarlot and a partner bought it for $1 million in 1975.
Sarlot moved in, oversaw restoration and in 1976 the hotel was declared a city historic-cultural monument. The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission called it a reminder of "the glitter of Hollywood's past."
The hotel drew the likes of Pink Floyd in the rock era, and it became notorious in 1982 when John Belushi died there of a drug overdose.

This promotional B-roll footage of the new production version of the BMW X6 just appeared on our radar screen-like RSS reader this morning. One thing's for certain, this slight leakage tells us we'll probably be seeing the embargo break on the new vehicle any moment now. Yup, we're just waiting for a literal torrent of shots of the new big-butt sedan/coupe/CUV/wagon thing any moment now. Yes, any second now...wait, no, not yet. Now? Nope, keep waiting. Now? No! Watch the video, fercrissakes! So what's different? Well, in comparison with the X6 concept previewed in Frankfurt, the notable differences appear to be the same changes we saw in the spy photos from back in September — visible B and C-pillars, the larger exterior mirrors and the new pipes in the rear. Now we're wondering — is this the new Detroit Auto Show preview we're supposed to be expecting? UPDATE: Production model shots of the X6 have been added below thanks to the embargo-breakin' UK bad boys at AutoCar. Our new post with all the deets is here.

Hey Mesa...
Mesa, at one time a while back you said that I would need some special calculations to be able to use a refractometer for a final reading. My latest batch is a barley wine and I only made about 2 gallons, so I dont want to waste any of it to take a hydrometer reading, so I was wondering if you could give me the math so I can figure out where I'm at with the refractometer. Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way. Actually its a wheat wine(51% of the grist was wheat) I guess if it came down to it, I could sterilize all of my stuff really good and take a hydro. reading and then dump it back in. let me know.

The European Commission (EC) is moving to end its unofficial 18-month moratorium on genetically modified (GM) foods, according to the British medical journal The Lancet. The EC acknowledges that these foods do not pose a serious threat to public health and plans to expedite approvals of them as early as the end of the year. However, the EC does plan to tighten labeling requirements and traceability mechanisms for GM crops before lifting the de facto moratorium.
David Byrne, European commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, said there is no evidence indicating that GM foods threaten health. "There are no guarantees in life. Right around the world, the scientific evidence is that there is no problem with GMOs over and above any other food," he stated. "Our approval system is strictly science based. Consumers should be assured and informed that we are paying attention to all questions they have raised."

Despite the general lack of snow over the past two winters, the Jasper County Ditch Bangers snow mobile club still meets in full force each month at Cadillac Jack's in Baxter. While the club, just in its second year, is still rather new, treasurer Michelle Huffaker has high hopes for the future of the group.
"We're actually really new as a club, this is only our second full season and last year we didn't have any snow, so it didn't really count as a season," Huffaker said with a laugh. "My husband came up with the idea to gather a bunch of people and to form a club, because snow mobiling can be so fun but not a lot of people realize you can do it so close to home."
In addition to the camaraderie the club brings, as an Iowa State Snowmobile Association-recognized club, the JCDR benefit in terms of safety as well.
"If you have a club that marks trails, it's a lot safer for the rider," she added. "You get the word out there better to let people know, hey this is something you can do in the wintertime in Iowa and not be cooped up in the house. Because of the insurance the clubs get through the state association, the landowners are protected tremendously."
While the club's meetings follow a formal format, their riding is anything but for the nearly 20 members.
"You don't have to be a member of our club to come out and ride with us," Huffaker said. "Anyone who wants to come ride with us, you know, the more the merrier."
"In the afternoon they'll start calling or texting saying, 'we're going to meet at this place at this time, do you want to come?' and they'll ride to another town for pizza or burgers or something like that," she added. "It's just fun. We never have a set destination, we just go."
In addition to the individual rider insurance the club furnishes, joining the club ups the manpower which the JCDR need to supply in order to survey and, eventually, mark established snow mobile trails throughout the county.
"This is really the first year we've have a chance to go and survey things, because we didn't have signs before now," Huffaker said. "We have a lot of signs now courtesy of the DNR, and the ISSA coordinates things. They supply the signs, we supply the manpower and the stakes to put them on."
"We're still trying to establish the best snow route, figuring out where the snow lies the heaviest and where it blows in good and things like that, so we're working on it," she added. "But we do have a trail system in mind. Eventually, our goal is to connect with the Central Iowa Snow Mobilers in Marshalltown and the Saylorville Dam Snow Mobile Club in Ankeny and Des Moines, so people can go in one huge loop and not have to go out and back on the same trail."
Overall, though, Huffaker says the group's main objective is to promote snow mobiling within the local community and establish not only a framework for riding but a community of riders as well.
"We wanted to get the word out there, get people into snow mobiling, have them do it in a safe manner and just promote the sport," she said.
If you'd like to join the Jasper County Ditch Bangers, contact president David Huffaker at (641) 751-0622 or Michelle Huffaker at (319) 330-4113. The club meets the third Thursday of every month at Cadillac Jack's in Baxter at 7 p.m., and meeting are open to anyone interested in joining.
Staff writer Nicole Wiegand may be contacted at (641) 792-3121, ext. 422, or at email@example.com.

Michigan State signs 18 in 'quality' class
Michigan State's recruiting class is relatively small.
Mark Dantonio insisted that's not a bad thing.
"I don't get too concerned about the size of the class as much
as the quality of the class," Dantonio said after the Spartans
received 18 national letters of intent Wednesday. "A lot of these
guys were targeted early on and have remained consistent throughout
the process.
"People tested the waters to see how firm they were in their
commitments, and they stayed firm."
Michigan State is soft at some key positions because three
standouts are skipping their senior seasons for the NFL draft.
Running back Le'Veon Bell, tight end Dion Sims and defensive end
William Gholston left voids that became opportunities for others,
including some incoming prospects.
The class includes three running backs: Michigan's Gerald
Holmes, Pennsylvania's Delton Williams and Wisconsin's R.J.
"It's a position that can be played by a freshman," Dantonio
said. "I think all three of these guys physically are very
The only tight end signed was Dylan Chmura of Waukesha, Wis.
Chmura's father, Mark, was a three-time Pro Bowl tight end for the
Green Bay Packers from 1993-99.
"There's a need at that position, so he's going to have
opportunities," Dantonio said. "He's a confident young man, and
he has a great background, with what he's been exposed to at the
high school level or the fact that his father played that position
at high level."
Chicago's Demetrius Cooper seems to have the best shot to play
as a freshman at defensive end.
Michigan State kicker Dan Conroy was a third-year starter last
season as a senior, creating an opportunity next season for high
touted Michael Geiger from Ohio.
"He'll be a guy that'll compete for the position right off the
bat," Dantonio said.
The Spartans don't have glaring needs at linebacker, but that's
the position of perhaps their top two recruits – Ohio's Shane Jones
and Michigan's Jon Reschke – and Dantonio said he'll continue to
put the best players on the field.
Damion Terry might test that policy next fall.
The three-year starting quarterback for Cathedral Preparatory
School in Erie, Pa., where Williams was a teammate, could be
talented enough as a thrower and runner to compete with returning
starter Andrew Maxwell.
"Damion has the physical skills to play at this level – right
now," Dantonio said. "Now, the rest of it is up to him and our
coaching staff, and obviously he has to fit the situation. A lot of
this is timing and opportunity."
Michigan State didn't have much of a chance to sign a large
class. Dantonio said he lost just nine players who were seniors,
and that may have played a part in recruiting analysts ranking the
group in the middle of pack among Big Ten schools.
"The bottom line is if you recruit 25 guys, you've lost a lot
of players," Dantonio said. "When you don't lose as many players,
that's a good thing when spring ball comes around.
"But I think this is a talented class, top to bottom."
Dantonio was proud to say that none of the recruits wavered in
their commitments despite some schools, including some in the
Southeastern Conference, trying to lure them away.
"We're going to invest in these guys," he said. "We're going
to make their dreams come true."

Linux.Jac.8759 is a virus that infects files under Linux. The virus infects ELF executables that exist in the same directory as the virus.
Type: Virus
Infection Length: 8759 Bytes
Technical description:
When Linux.Jac.8759 is executed, it starts by checking all files that are in the same directory as the one from which the virus was executed. If it finds executable files that have write permission, it attempts to infect them. The virus will not infect files that end with the letters ps, nor will it infect files that were not created for the x86 (Intel) platform.
The virus modifies several fields in the header of the file. One of the modifications is used as an infection marker. This check prevents the virus from infecting a file multiple times.

Mountain bike race season officially begins in the Pacific Northwest, with the BuDu series kicking it off. A very well run local series that Racer Boy Ian competed in last season with some pretty cool results. A fun series for sure.
For this year, son Ian missed the first race due to basketball commitments. Second race of the series, held last weekend was also no go for Ian, due to a bad cold. I missed both races due to a bad case of being lame, and still being very much in my winter slump. Woe is me.
I hit the second race anyway to pick up Ian's 2012 race kit, since some fellow JL Velo teammates offered to lug it over. I wandered the course a bit to shoot a few pics, slideshow posted as proof. As I get old and feeble, seem to enjoy shooting races more then actually (allegedly) competing in 'em.
Running through the woods reminded me how fun the trails of Soaring Eagle Park are. Need to head back soon for a little singletrack fun 'n' frolicking.

Don't mess with Texas
I am calling in regard to the comment about Texas. Texas is an honorable and wonderful state, and to draw the example of one person who behaved incorrectly is beyond my understanding. There are many Virginians who have done things that are humiliating and embarrassing. Please do not embarrass Texas or try to, with such stupid, inappropriate, selected facts. I don't know your motive, but I will tell you as a Texan, don't come to Texas and say something that stupid.

The Grand Prix of Baltimore, the race that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake promised would be a "game-changer" has come and gone ("Grand Prix of Baltimore canceled through 2015, and likely beyond," Sept. 13). Apparently, the game changed and we missed it
While I'm sure that the mayor's spokesman will put it in the best possible light, the citizens of Baltimore know that that this three-year experiment was a net loser. We spent public money, cut down public trees, disrupted public services and generally allowed ourselves to be inconvenienced to produce a race that ultimately reduced business for many downtown merchants and never made a ripple in Baltimore's image.
It's bad form to say "I told you so," but perhaps this could be a learning moment for our mayor. So many people told her so often that the Grand Prix was a bad idea that, had she only listened to her constituents, she could have been spared the embarrassment of announcing that this pet project failed miserably.
Sadly, the mayor's new pet project, Harbor Point, will not be so easy to erase. Once again the mayor has chosen to put her will above that of the people, and once again she has ignored the voices warning her of the consequences.
Like the Grand Prix, Harbor Point will go forward over the objection of most Baltimoreans. It will absorb city resources while benefiting few. It will depress the value of real estate in other parts of the city while further balkanizing our already unfair tax system. It risks traffic nightmares and a potential environmental disaster and will likely be a net negative to many current city merchants.
But, unlike the Grand Prix, Harbor Point will not be so easy to do away with, and the damage it does will last far longer.
Yet hope springs eternal. Maybe it's not too late. Maybe the mayor can learn to listen to her constituents instead of just her developer friends. It's not likely, but that would be a real game changer.
Mac Nachlas, Baltimore

Bringing The Heat
Before I get into my thoughts on the game and what it means for us, I want to make one small point. FIRE NICK FOLK!!!!!!!!!!!. I am so sick and tired of them making excuses for him. He has lost his edge. They showed footage of pre game warm-ups by Nick Folk. If I am correct I believe they showed 7 attempts WITHOUT a holder. How many of those attempts did he make? NONE!!!!!!! How can you sit back and watch your "struggling" kicker miss several warm-ups before game and then when the game is on the line, put him in?? That makes absolutely no sense to me. I am also totally against Romo holding kicks. What other team in the NFL, NCAA, High school or any other league you want to bring up has their starting QB holding kicks? None!!! When Kris Brown of the Texans missed those critical field goals for the Texans this year, did Kubiak think, hey I have an idea; let's put Matt Schaub back there to hold the kicks so that Kris Brown can make them, no he did not. Again, FIRE NICK FOLK!!!!!
As for what this game means for us this season, we are one step closer to the playoffs. We need help from SF this weekend by taking down the Eagles. Also, being the die hard Cowboys fan that I am, it makes me sick to my stomach to even think about saying this, but we really need the Redskins to beat the Giants. Wow admitting that I want the skins to win is even hard to type but it has to be said.
Now for the game. YEAH BABY!! WOOOHOOOO!!! WAY TO GO BOYS!!!! Ok got that out of the way. We finally got to see the FULL potential that the cowboys have on the field each and every week. Romo and the offense looked flawless. The defense was brutal. The game was AMAZING. On the field Romo was the better of the 2 quarterbacks going 22/34 for a total of 333 yards and 1 touchdown with ZERO interceptions or fumbles and his ability to avoid the rush was able to get him 4 rushes for 21 yards. Our #1 receiver Miles Austin once again showed us why letting T.O. go was the best option for the team with 7 receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown. Jason Whitten had a good game with clutch catches when it mattered most, as he usually does, going for 44 yards on just 5 catches. Romo also distributed the ball well to several other options, giving the rest of our receivers and our running backs a total of 10 catches for 129 yards. Once again proving that the Dallas passing game is a force to be recon with.
Rushing rushing rushing. There is not much more to say about our ground game than, MARION BARBER!!!!!!! That man is a beast and was not going to be denied. Although he only had 17 rushing attempts he went for a hard fought 62 yards and 2 touchdowns. Felix Jones made his presence known not only on his 14 carries for 58 yards but also in the return game averaging 30 yards with one return of 41 yards. Let just say this is one ground game that was not going to be denied.
Ok, say it with me, DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!! Wow what a performance our defense put up. Anthony Spencer is coming into his own and making all teams account for him. Our secondary is making other teams passing games quiver. Our linebackers are making running backs think maybe we should pass the ball more often. And then there is the man. The best defensive player in the league. The man that gets thru double teams to force QB's to make errant throws, picks and run for their lives. Of course, you know I am talking about Demarcus Ware. After last week when all of our hearts stopped and the city of Dallas came to a complete stop and everyone was holding their breath, while Ware was being carted off the field, no one knew if he would play this week. Well, as we all know he did play and once again he dominated. He had a total of 2 sacks with 2 forced fumbles, and of course the key forced fumble at the end of the game with ten seconds left in the game to seal the victory for the Cowboys.
The Cowboys as a whole during the game Dominated every aspect of the game We had more first downs, 24 to 23, more total net yards, 436 to 336. Rushing yards were to our advantage 145 to 65. Our defense held the high powered offense of the Saints to only 3 points in the first half and 17 points in the game with Drew Brees passing for under 300 yards and only touchdown. A very big key to the game was third down efficiency. While Dallas went for 8 of 15 attempts on third down with a 53% efficiency rate the Saints only converted 1 third down during the game with an efficiency rate of only 14%. Once again proving that our defense is one of the best defenses in the league. Let's take this win and this momentum that we know have, and bring it to the next game when we go to Washington and show them that the December curse is now OVER and we are making our run to the SUPERBOWL!!!

Mansdoerfers find comfort in working toward scholarship
ALBUQUERQUE – Katye Mansdoerfer will never get to graduate from Wayland Baptist University or teach in an elementary school. But her parents are hoping that a scholarship fund in her memory will make her dreams possible for other deserving students.
Katye was only 19 when she lost her life last October in an automobile accident just outside of Plainview, Texas. Though enveloped in grief, her parents, Ron and Stephanie Mansdoerfer of Albuquerque, almost immediately chose to set up a scholarship fund in Katye's name and have spent the better part of a year working to get the fund to endowed status.
"We worked to endow a scholarship in my mother's name a few years back and felt positively about that experience," said Ron. "Katye had a great love for Wayland, so it seemed obvious that we could do something for people in her name that would help others. Our goal was to support the things she supported and give the opportunity for others to fulfill the dreams she had for herself."
For her funeral and well afterward, family, friends, fellow classmates and members of the Mansdoerfers' church – Northdale Baptist Church in Albuquerque – have given generously to the scholarship fund. Even so, the fund lacks about $7,500 before it can hit the $25,000 mark and reach endowment status. At that time, the corpus of the account will be invested though the Baptist Foundation of Texas, and annual interest will be pulled to provide student scholarships.
Ron and Stephanie are admittedly anxious to get the fund endowed, making sacrifices of their own in order to see their daughter's name live on in this special way and at a place that meant so much to Katye. Working to see the scholarship completed has helped them through the grieving process.
"It's our heart's desire for the scholarship to be available during what would have been Katye's senior year at Wayland, so that perhaps someone who knew her could benefit from it," Ron said.
The Mansdoerfers know that projects such as the endowed scholarship fund require sacrificial giving and they deeply appreciate all those who are helping to make it a reality. As educators, they understand how precious funds can be to friends and family. Ron, a special education teacher for the past 24 years at Del Norte High School, is also pastor at Northdale Baptist Church. Stephanie has taught English at La Cueva High for the past 27 years. Their older daughter, Meg Shelton, graduated from Wayland in April 2005 and now teaches in Spring, Texas.
However, the family realizes that the sacrifices they and others make now will seem minimal when the scholarship reaches the point of being able to keep Katye's legacy alive and helping others.
"Our love for Katye and her dreams and her love for Wayland drive a lot of this, and we want to aim at the things we know are near and dear to her heart," Ron said. "Her dream lives on through this, and that's essential for us."
To make a donation to the Katye Mansdoerfer Scholarship Fund, contact the Office of Advancement at Wayland Baptist University at (806) 291-3425. Gifts are tax deductible to the extent the law allows.

Are you aware of the alternative fuels that can run your automobile? You always think of some way to reduce the monthly expenditure on fuels. Isn't it? If you feel too bogged down with the expenses resulting from the recurring fuel costs, some good news is awaiting you. It is for certain that not many people will believe when I say that you can run your vehicle on water. Sometimes the seemingly impossible things too materialize, and we have to admit that it is actually possible. The technology of the water 4 gas-driven car is one such instance and is sure to catch up the market in a short time.
Scientists have been engaged in hard toil and research for quite a long time to make this nearly impossible thing materialize into a reality. Now, they have made it possible at last. In the present times, when technology has advanced, the latest gift we have received is a car that runs on waterpower. This technology gives the users many facilities. First of all, it saves money. This technology uses advanced methods to make the engine of your car smooth running. This modified fuel, that the engine uses, will run partially on water power resulting in a significant cut-down on the amount that you otherwise need to spend per month on fuel.
You may now be wondering as to what exactly is the technology that makes this near impossible thing possible! Even a kid knows that water is, in no way, inflammable. However, this technology makes water inflammable and that 'burning' water generates the energy. Are you taken by surprise? The interesting fact is that the scientists made this miracle happen by electrifying water. When water is electrified, it splits into two different kinds of atoms. One is hydrogen and the other is oxygen. The process so conducted is called electrolysis of water. On electrification, the oxy-hydrogen gas or Brown's gas emerges, and this acts as the fuel for your vehicle. The resultant compound is called the oxy-hydrogen gas which is highly inflammable. Then they channel it through the gas line directly to the engine.
In case the process interests you and you want to try it, there are several service providers that can come to your aid. You need to install a special system for this when you are ready to adopt the advanced technology. This special system that you install in your car will help to perform the process of electrolysis. You may be wondering whether the technology involved and the consequent procedure for installation of the device in your car is too complicated or tough. It is, actually, a rather simple process. It is not at all a tough job for you to install the system in your car. You can take the help of any professional to install it or you can install it even yourself by purchasing the necessary kits from market.

Third Day Of Racing Leaves Recchi Still Atop The Audi Melges 32 Worlds
25 September 2009
Porto Cervo, Italy - Day three in Porto Cervo at the Audi Melges 32 World Championship, hosted by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda produced three more races to bring the event up to 6 races completed. Extending his overall lead by an additional 5 points is Claudio Recchi on ITA-93 Team 93. In second is Pieter Taselaar on USA-169 Bliksem and third is Giovanni Maspero on ITA-999 Joe Fly.
Wednesday gave way to the first day of racing under gorgeous blue skies, sunshine, moderate breezes and somewhat lumpy seas. Out front almost immediately at the start of the first race of the day was Maspero rounding the windward mark in first, Joe Woods on GBR-500 Red in second while overnight leaders Recchi and Taselaar appeared deeper in the fleet. Downwind Maspero held his own, however catching him at the gate was Recchi, Woods and Francesco Martino on ITA-184 Pilot Italia. Three way into the mark, Recchi challenged Maspero while Martino chose the leeward gate. The fleet was tight at the bottom, one of the most aggressive roundings seen thus far in the championship. Back upwind Recchi longed to assume the lead, but Taselaar worked his way through the fleet, making his way into the lead. It was a heated battle downwind between Recchi, Martino and Taselaar. For the finish, Taselaar took the win, Martino was second and Recchi took third.
Race two saw Andrea Cecchetti on ITA-753 Bagua with tactician Vasco Vascotto spring off the starting line to challenge Recchi's assault on the fleet. Maspero kept up with both Cecchetti and Recchi. Maspero eventually played the shifts just right to take second place behind Recchi in first. Cecchetti took third.
The final race of the day began to feel the effects of lighter breezes and continued lumpy seas with 2009 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series Champion Carlo Alberini on ITA-186 Calvi Network finally getting a piece of the action. Challenging Alberini and hot off the starting line out to the right side for the best pressure was Vincenzo Onorato on ITA-2121 Mascalzone Latino and Cecchetti. At the top Alberini rounded first, then Onorato both pulling ahead and beginning to separate themselves from the fleet. Cecchetti rounded third. Downwind it was a heated battle for first between Alberini and Cecchetti. Making big moves on the downwind run was European Fleet President Filippo Pacinotti on ITA-667 Brontolo. At the leeward gate, the race committee sounded a course change and shortened the length for the final finish leg. The battle between Alberini and Onorato continued while Pacinotti patiently, yet aggressively improved his position in the race. The breeze began to drop off for the finish with Alberini taking the win, Pacinotti having an amazing race taking second and Armando Guilietti helming ITA-1 Uka Uka Racing moving up for a spectacular third place finish. Luigi Melegari on ITA-181 Matrix took fourth and Onorato took fifth.
It was not the best day of performances for overall leader Recchi. An 11th place finish in the third race of the day was his discard, allowing him to maintain the top spot, nine points ahead of second place Pieter Taselaar.
With discards in place after six races, some new faces appear in the top ten. Among them are Maspero who had a spectacular day with a 5-2-9 scoreline moving him in to third. Onorato moves from fourth to fifth and Guilietti moved from tenth to sixth.
Three more races are anticipated on Saturday, day 4 of the Audi Melges 32 World Championship 2009.

The Treaty of Algeron is an agreement between the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire that somehow "keeps the peace" between the two powers, who presumably negotiated it following the events of "The Enterprise Incident" (TOS).
Under the terms of the treaty, the Federation may not develop or deploy cloaking technology, resulting in a significant tactical disadvantage for Federation starships. What the Romulans gave up in return (if anything) is unknown.

Contained Places
Virginia (), officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a U.S. state located in the South Atlantic region of the United States. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" due to its status as a former dominion of the English Crown, and "Mother of Presidents" due to the many U.S. presidents having been born there. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city, and Fairfax County is the most populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's estimated population is over 8.3 million.[1]
The area's history begins with several indigenous groups, including the Powhatan. In 1607 the London Company established the Colony of Virginia as the first permanent New World English colony. Slave labor and the land acquired from displaced Native American tribes each played a significant role in the colony's early politics and plantation economy. Virginia was one of the 13 Colonies in the American Revolution and joined the Confederacy in the American Civil War, during which Richmond was made the Confederate capital and Virginia's northwestern counties seceded to form the state of West Virginia. Although the Commonwealth was under single-party rule for nearly a century following Reconstruction, both major national parties are competitive in modern Virginia.[2]
The Virginia General Assembly is the oldest continuous law-making body in the New World. The state government has been repeatedly ranked most effective by the Pew Center on the States.[3] It is unique in how it treats cities and counties equally, manages local roads, and prohibits its governors from serving consecutive terms. Virginia's economy has many sectors: agriculture in the Shenandoah Valley; federal agencies in Northern Virginia, including the headquarters of the Department of Defense and CIA; and military facilities in Hampton Roads, the site of the region's main seaport. Virginia's economy changed from primarily agricultural to industrial during the 1960s and 1970s, and in 2002 computer chips became the state's leading export.[4]
Jamestown 2007 marked Virginia's quadricentennial year, celebrating 400 years since the establishment of the Jamestown Colony. The celebrations highlighted contributions from Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans, each of which had a significant part in shaping Virginia's history. Warfare, including among these groups, has also had an important role. Virginia was a focal point in conflicts from the French and Indian War, the American Revolution and the Civil War, to the Cold War and the War on Terrorism. Stories about historic figures, such as those surrounding Pocahontas and John Smith, George Washington's childhood, or the plantation elite in the slave society of the antebellum period, have also created potent myths of state history, and have served as rationales for Virginia's ideology.
The first people are estimated to have arrived in Virginia over 12,000 years ago. By 5,000 years ago more permanent settlements emerged, and farming began by 900 AD. By 1500, the Algonquian peoples had founded towns such as Werowocomoco in the Tidewater region, which they referred to as Tsenacommacah. The other major language groups in the area were the Siouan to the west, and the Iroquoians, who included the Nottoway and Meherrin, to the north and south. After 1570, the Algonquians consolidated under Chief Powhatan in response to threats from these other groups on their trade network. Powhatan controlled more than 30 smaller tribes and over 150 settlements, who shared a common Virginia Algonquian language. In 1607, the native Tidewater population was between 13,000 and 14,000.
Several European expeditions, including a group of Spanish Jesuits, explored the Chesapeake Bay during the 16th century. In 1583, Queen Elizabeth I of England granted Walter Raleigh a charter to plant a colony north of Spanish Florida. In 1584, Raleigh sent an expedition to the Atlantic coast of North America. The name "Virginia" may have been suggested then by Raleigh or Elizabeth, perhaps noting her status as the "Virgin Queen," and may also be related to a native phrase, "Wingandacoa," or name, "Wingina." Initially the name applied to the entire coastal region from South Carolina to Maine, plus the island of Bermuda. The London Company was incorporated as a joint stock company by the proprietary Charter of 1606, which granted land rights to this area. The Company financed the first permanent English settlement in the "New World", Jamestown. Named for King James I, it was founded in May 1607 by Christopher Newport. In 1619, colonists took greater control with an elected legislature called the House of Burgesses. With the bankruptcy of the London Company in 1624, the settlement was taken into royal authority as an English crown colony.
Tensions and the geographic differences between the working and ruling classes led to Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, by which time current and former indentured servants made up as much as 80% of the population. Rebels, largely from the colony's frontier, were also opposed to the conciliatory policy towards native tribes, and one result of the rebellion was the signing at Middle Plantation of the Treaty of 1677, which made the signatory tribes tributary states and was part of a pattern of appropriating tribal land by force and treaty. Middle Plantation saw the founding of The College of William & Mary in 1693 and was renamed Williamsburg as it became the colonial capital in 1699. In 1747, a group of Virginian speculators formed the Ohio Company, with the backing of the British crown, to start English settlement and trade in the Ohio Country west of the Appalachian Mountains. France, which claimed this area as part of their colony of New France, viewed this as a threat, and the ensuing French and Indian War became part of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763). A militia from several British colonies, called the Virginia Regiment, was led by then-Lieutenant Colonel George Washington.
The British Parliament's efforts to levy new taxes following the French and Indian War were deeply unpopular in the colonies. In the House of Burgesses, opposition to taxation without representation was led by Patrick Henry and Richard Henry Lee, among others. Virginians began to coordinate their actions with other colonies in 1773, and sent delegates to the Continental Congress the following year. After the House of Burgesses was dissolved by the royal governor in 1774, Virginia's revolutionary leaders continued to govern via the Virginia Conventions. On May 15, 1776, the Convention declared Virginia's independence from the British Empire and adopted George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights, which was then included in a new constitution. Another Virginian, Thomas Jefferson, drew upon Mason's work in drafting the national Declaration of Independence.
When the American Revolutionary War began, George Washington was selected to head the colonial army. During the war, the capital was moved to Richmond at the urging of Governor Thomas Jefferson, who feared that Williamsburg's coastal location would make it vulnerable to British attack. In 1781, the combined action of Continental and French land and naval forces trapped the British army on the Virginia Peninsula, where troops under George Washington and Comte de Rochambeau defeated British General Cornwallis in the Siege of Yorktown. His surrender on October 19, 1781 led to peace negotiations in Paris and secured the independence of the colonies.
Virginians were instrumental in writing the United States Constitution. James Madison drafted the Virginia Plan in 1787 and the Bill of Rights in 1789.[5] Virginia ratified the Constitution on June 25, 1788. The three-fifths compromise ensured that Virginia, with its large number of slaves, initially had the largest bloc in the House of Representatives. Together with the Virginia dynasty of presidents, this gave the Commonwealth national importance. In 1790, both Virginia and Maryland ceded territory to form the new District of Columbia, though the Virginian area was retroceded in 1846. Virginia is called "Mother of States" because of its role in being carved into states like Kentucky, which became the 15th state in 1792, and for the numbers of American pioneers born in Virginia.[6]
Civil War and aftermath
In addition to agriculture, slave labor was increasingly used in mining, shipbuilding and other industries. The execution of Gabriel Prosser in 1800, Nat Turner's slave rebellion in 1831 and John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859 marked the growing social discontent over slavery and its role in the plantation economy. By 1860, almost half a million people, roughly 31% of the total population of Virginia, were enslaved. This division contributed to the start of the American Civil War.
Virginia voted to secede from the United States on April 17, 1861, after the Battle of Fort Sumter and Abraham Lincoln's call for volunteers. On April 24, Virginia joined the Confederate States of America, which chose Richmond as its capital. After the 1861 Wheeling Convention, 48 counties in the northwest separated to form a new state of West Virginia, which chose to remain loyal to the Union. Virginian general Robert E. Lee took command of the Army of Northern Virginia in 1862, and led invasions into Union territory, ultimately becoming commander of all Confederate forces. During the war, more battles were fought in Virginia than anywhere else, including Bull Run, the Seven Days Battles, Chancellorsville, and the concluding Battle of Appomattox Court House. After the capture of Richmond in April 1865, the state capital was briefly moved to Lynchburg, while the Confederate leadership fled to Danville. Virginia was formally restored to the United States in 1870, due to the work of the Committee of Nine.
During the post-war Reconstruction era, Virginia adopted a constitution which provided for free public schools, and guaranteed political, civil, and voting rights. The populist Readjuster Party ran an inclusive coalition until the conservative white Democratic Party gained power after 1883. It passed segregationist Jim Crow laws and in 1902 rewrote the Constitution of Virginia to include a poll tax and other voter registration measures that effectively disfranchised most African Americans and many poor whites. Though their schools and public services were segregated and underfunded due to a lack of political representation, African Americans were able to unite in communities and take a greater role in Virginia society.
Modern era
New economic forces also changed the Commonwealth. Virginian James Albert Bonsack invented the tobacco cigarette rolling machine in 1880 leading to new industrial scale production centered around Richmond. In 1886, railroad magnate Collis Potter Huntington founded Newport News Shipbuilding, which was responsible for building six major World War I-era battleships for the U.S. Navy from 1907–1923. During the war, German submarines like U-151 attacked ships outside the port. In 1926, Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, rector of Williamsburg's Bruton Parish Church, began restoration of colonial-era buildings in the historic district with financial backing of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Though their project, like others in the state, had to contend with the Great Depression and World War II, work continued as Colonial Williamsburg became a major tourist attraction.
The Civil Rights Movement gained many participants in the 1960s. It achieved the moral force and support to gain passage of national legislation with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In 1964 the United States Supreme Court ordered Prince Edward County and others to integrate schools. In 1967, the Court also struck down the state's ban on interracial marriage with Loving v. Virginia. From 1969 to 1971, state legislators under Governor Mills Godwin rewrote the constitution, after goals such as the repeal of Jim Crow laws had been achieved. In 1989, Douglas Wilder became the first African American elected as governor in the United States.
The Cold War led to the expansion of national defense government programs housed in offices in Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C., and correlative population growth. The Central Intelligence Agency in Langley was involved in various Cold War events, including as the target of Soviet espionage activities. Also among the federal developments was the Pentagon, built during World War II as the headquarters for the Department of Defense. It was one of the targets of the September 11 attacks; 189 people died at the site when a jet passenger plane was crashed into the building.
Population History
Note: Virginia was one of the 13 original States. Kentucky was part of Virginia until 1792, and a small part of Virginia was included in the District of Columbia from 1791 to 1846. West Virginia was separated from Virginia in 1862, becoming a State in 1863 and adding two more counties in 1866. Since then Virginia's boundaries have remained essentially unchanged, with slight modifications as early surveys were reviewed and corrected. Details of the Virginia-Tennessee boundary were not settled until 1901. In 1790 census coverage included all of Virginia's present-day territory; Kentucky was reported separately. The populations for 1800-1840 include the area that was then part of the District of Columbia, and the populations for 1790-1860 exclude the counties entirely or primarily included in what is now West Virginia.

Product Description
Gorgeous full lace wig made of genuine, authentic Malaysian remy hair. We don't get much Malaysian remy, as it's not abundantly available as Indian and many other Asian textures. However, we are absolutely delighted to offer this wig to you. It's nearly impossible to convey the differences in hair texture in photographs, because when the wigs are of similar color, it's really hard to tell the difference with a photo. This wig consists of hair from a single donor, obviously a woman with a gorgeous head of hair when you consider wigs are at least 4" shorter than the hair length you're working with.
The hair is lightweight, with a loose, natural wave. The hair is a bit lighter at the tips and falls beautifully into a carefree style. This is a beautiful wig and if you are the owner, please treat it with care. Use quality shampoos and conditioners. Ditch the combs and brushes, to ensure your wig lasts.

CORTLAND, N.Y. – Senior Chris Rose (Victor) completed 20-of-38 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns and the Cortland defense handed Montclair State its first shutout in 144 games dating back to 1998 as the Red Dragons defeated the visiting Red Hawks, 20-0. Cortland improved to 3-1 overall and is 3-0 in NJAC play. Montclair drops to 2-3 and 2-1.
All of the game's scoring occurred in the first half. Junior Mike DeBole (Webster/Webster Schroeder) made a pair of 26-yard field goals – the first with 11:03 left in the first quarter and the second with 30 seconds remaining in the half. Rose threw a 1-yard play-action touchdown pass to senior tight end Sean Obanhein (Lynbrook) with 2:48 left in the first quarter to give the Red Dragons a 10-0 lead. Early in the second quarter, Cortland drove 66 yards for a score on just two plays – 37-yard and 29-yard passes from Rose to sophomore Kordel McInnis (Sewell, NJ/Washington Township).
Montclair's best scoring chance came on its second possession when it drove from its own 25-yard line to the Cortland 7-yard line before missing a 24-yard field goal. The Red Hawks drove no deeper than the Cortland 36-yard line the rest of the game. Montclair was last shutout on Oct. 31, 1998 versus The College of New Jersey (10-0), and its last road shutout was at Rowan on Nov. 11, 1995 (30-0). Cortland's last shutout versus Montclair was a 20-0 home victory in 1965.
Cortland outgained Montclair, 438-190, in total offense, including a 180-35 advantage on the ground. Freshman linebacker Troy Beddoe (Endicott/Union-Endicott) led the Red Dragons with eight tackles, six solo, along with a fumble recovery and a pass breakup.
