Woman Donates Cellphone To Charity, But It Ends Up On Ebay With Personal Info Intact
People! Always wipe your cell phone before you sell it, give it away, or trade it in. Do not assume or expect that someone else will do this for you! This was just one of the mistakes that led to Rachel Swanson being called by strangers several weeks after she thought she donated her old phone to charity. But the store that handled the donation, and the company responsible for actually processing the donated phones, screwed up their parts, too. Here's how it was supposed to have work, and what you should always do before donating your phone to any organization.
To begin with, Wireless Lifestyle, the authorized Sprint dealer that accepted Swanson's phone, didn't sufficiently explain the process to Swanson. Wireless Lifestyle partners with Flipswap, a company that accepts used cellphones in exchange for store credit or donations to charity. Flipswap takes in these used cellphones—"between 40,000 and 45,000 phones a month," according to the Wichita Eagle—and resells them on eBay or to overseas distributors.
Swanson could have either taken a store credit or agreed to have any proceeds from the phone donated to a charity. For whatever reason, she thought the phone itself was going to charity. We don't really care one way or the other in this case, but wanted to explain to you how Flipswap actually works so that you'll know better than Swanson should you decide to donate your phone through them.
As for not wiping the phone before reselling it, Flipswap told the newspaper that although they try to erase every phone that passes through, they're not contractually obligated to do so.
You, however, are obligated to do so, if you value your privacy at all. If you don't know how to erase the date on your phone, visit Recellular's Data Eraser page, where you can download step-by-step instructions on a wide variety of models. (And if you can't find your phone there, try Googling terms like "reformat" or "erase" and your phone model.)
The Wichita Eagle also offers some tips on what you should do before buying a used phone. The most important—well, after making sure the phone will work with your carrier, of course—is to ask for the phone's electronic serial number (ESN) before you purchase it, then contact your carrier and verify that the ESN isn't blocked. From what we understand, very few carriers actually block ESNs with any regularity, because it's not in their financial interest to do so, but better safe than sorry.

Product Description
This gorgeous wig is made of Indian Remy hair, processed to mimic African American hair that has been freshly treated with a high quality salon relaxer. The texture is sleek and straight, with a slight bend, it moves and flows freely and holds curls well. The hair dries straight, with a slight wave, you can choose to flat iron for a sleek look, but it is not necessary. For added versatility, you can roller set the hair, when wet, for a curly or wavy look. We started with a standard stock wig in #2, and custom colored dark roots in a deep, mocha brown. The bottom layer of hair is also colored mocha brown, this creates a very natural appearance similar to color that's growing out a bit. Our customers love wigs with dark roots and here's an opportunity to get dark roots without waiting for a custom made wig.
This hair has been thermally curled for photography. The curls can be achieved with a 1.5 inch ceramic curling iron (tongs).
Silk top wigs are growing in popularity because the ventilation technique allows multi directional parting without worrying about visible knots. The silk top consists of a layer of lace, and silk fabric. When the hair is knotted, the knots are below the silk concealed between the layers, making them truly invisible, which is why this is also often referred to as hidden knots. This technique is very labor intensive, and silk top wigs are generally more expensive than regular wigs.
Silk top wigs aren't for everyone. At zarawigs.com we really try to give you the best information possible, to enable you to make an informed choice. The main drawback of silk top wigs is a visible difference at the edges of the silk top. In the photo gallery of this wig, we captured many different photographs to show you the difference, to enable you to make an informed decision. This particular wig is made of transparent lace, which means the silk top will not work on those with darker skin shades, as you can see from our photo of the wig on a darker mannequin. If your skin is medium brown or darker, you can now order your custom wig with a silk top, to ensure that the shade of the silk matches your skin shade, to make the area blend flawlessly with your complexion.
There is no other ventilation technique that creates a more flawless appearance than hidden knots on a silk top, you don't need to bleach the knots, you don't need to worry about any other techniques to make the knots invisible or less visible. Having said that, most of our customers prefer lace caps because they are skilled with their application technique and they can achieve the look they want without the added expense of invisible knots and a silk top. The choice is yours and we want you to make the best decision possible, considering your investment in a lace wig.

Just over a week ago, Bradley Wiggins made history by becoming the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France. And while he and Team GB missed out on a medal in the Olympic men's road race last Saturday, Wiggins goes into tomorrow's Olympic time trial as the favourite.
Our photographer Rob Wilmott was at the Tour and the Olympic road race and got a good look at the various bikes that Wiggins has been riding. From the yellow themed Pinarello Graal time trial bike that he used to win the final Tour time trial to the UK Sport road bike that he rode in the Olympic road race, it's all here in one gallery. If you look closely you can see some of the customised parts that are a hallmark of any Wiggins machine.

Argentina are the most impressive team so far, but the team playing the best footy at this stage of the tournament doesnt always win the World Cup...

Eddie, I was just discussing that with my boss. It's because it's cool to slag England off, and just as cool to love Brazil. Simple fact is, Brazil have started just as bad as us, but the thing is, they've been lucky to win their games, whereas however poor we were, we still deserved the points.Originally Posted by luckyeddie

i reckon australia have a pretty high chance of winning
Interesting that nobody tipped Spain. If I had my vote over again, I'd go with them. Just a hunch.
Incidentally, might be interesting to do another poll like this after the group stage, and see who the new favourite is.
It's cold on the outside they say
But the cold leaves you clear while the heat leaves a haze
im still none the wiser as to who will win, Argentina are favourites with some bookies now, but i dunno, i have a big feeling on germany...
poll is closed
but I'll take a stab from left-field and say Spain!
thats why the poll closed before the tournament started, so people cant some in and just pick one of the most in form teams now
Brazil first convincing performance yesterday for me would put them back as favourites, Argentina also have a good chance, watch out for the Azzuri they could really light up this tournament & England the loss of Owen could trigger something big.
[QUOTE=FaaipDeOiad]Interesting that nobody tipped Spain. If I had my vote over again, I'd go with them. Just a hunch.[QUOTE]
I wouldn't pick spain as favourites even though they have started superbly again because they always stumble in the latter stages of the WC, for me they would have to reach the final for me to think that they could actually win.
This may come back to haunt me but I would put everything I own on Spain NOT winning the World Cup.
Things do not stay the same. Playing well in 1st round means nothing and its possible teams can peak to soon.
Im very confident that Spain will not win the whole thing (I just dont put them in the top few teams in the World)

Michael Schumacher's condition stable, but remains critical
The medical team and the German's management repeated on Monday their call to respect his privacy and said they would not send any more statements nor hold any news conference until further notice.other Updated: Jan 06, 2014 22:35 IST
Michael Schumacher's condition remains stable but critical, eight days after the German suffered brain injuries in a skiing accident in France.
"The clinical state of Michael Schumacher is stable as he's under permanent care and treatment," Grenoble hospital said in a statement on Monday.
"However, the medical team in charge stresses that it continues to assess his situation as critical."
The retired seven-times Formula One world champion slammed his head on a rock while skiing off-piste on Dec. 27.
Schumacher has been in an induced coma since then and has undergone two operations in Grenoble.
The medical team and the German's management repeated on Monday their call to respect his privacy and said they would not send any more statements nor hold any news conference until further notice.
Last week his agent Sabine Kehm urged journalists to stay away from Schumacher after security guards said they intercepted a reporter disguised as a priest who was trying to get into his room.
"The patient's privacy requires that we do not disclose any details about his treatment and that's why we do not plan any news conference nor written statements for now," said the medical team and Schumacher's management.
"We ask you again, insistently, to ... stick to the information provided by the medical team in charge or his management because they are the only valid ones."
While Schumacher is battling for his life after suffering severe internal bleeding on the skull, French authorities are investigating the accident that took place in the Alps resort of Meribel.
The Annecy prosecutor on Monday said he will hold a news conference on Wednesday.
Schumacher, who turned 45 on Friday, is the most successful Formula One driver of all time with 91 race victories.
He left the sport last year after a disappointing three-year comeback with Mercedes following an earlier retirement from Ferrari at the end of 2006.

Uneven or shoddy mobile data speeds cramping your Netflix binge or Skype cybering session sucks, but hey, it'll get better naturally as coverage improves, right? Welllllll. As a patchwork
moneygrab solution, Verizon's developed an API that'll let mobile apps request a "turbo" bandwidth boost when data speeds start to lag.
The bandwidth boost will cost you, of course. It's a new technology that's still in development, and there's no official model yet, but some early thoughts are paying directly for the bandwidth boost, or the cost being included in a subscription or other pre-existing cost.
Don't misunderstand: Insurance that your data speeds will be acceptable for important calls or files is really cool. But this smacks of commoditizing crappy service into a chance to bleed more dollars out of customers who just want their apps to be usable. And what kind of recourse would a customer have if they did drop the extra cash on a speed boost but still ended up on the outs? So yeah, it's better that this thing exists than not, but it definitely opens the door for a whole bunch of Evil Empire shenanigans. [Technology Review]

I noticed my Ford F53 1999 Bounder motorhome transmision slow to get going and sort of stalling and when accelerating somewhat of a jerking motion .After shifting to 2nd gear does fine. Just slow jerking start. Any suggestions.
Do you think the battery problem was affecting tranny operation.
That's certainly possible, especially given your experiences. Electronics (especially computers) can sometimes be fussy about their power supply (voltage, ripple, etc.), so operation can be flaky.
I had a similar problem, trans would shift erratically. Turns out there is a TSB out from Ford which a new ECM harness is installed and consolidates the ground wires. By now they are all gone but it can be done by hand. In my case I added an inverter and the ripple the inverter put back into my battery caused the spedo to indicate movement while stopped. It would sometimes take off in 2nd gear than jump down to first. If you log in you can download the tsb.

Kings continue dominance over struggling Bluesby Louie Korac
ST. LOUIS -- The Los Angeles Kings have gone into two tough buildings in a row and come up with key goals late in regulation to leave with two points.
On Monday, it was Dustin Brown scoring with less than two minutes to give L.A. a victory at Chicago. Three nights later, it was Mike Richards' turn to be the hero -- he stuffed a puck past Jaroslav Halak with 2:43 remaining to break a tie as the Kings beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2.
The play went to review, as Halak had his skate up against the post. Jeff Carter did lift the goal from behind before the puck got stuffed in but it was determined to be a good goal, as Richards outworked the Blues' Andy McDonald.
"I'm not even sure what happened," Richards said of his eighth goal of the season. "I got a little lucky, and jammed it in.
"You just look at the puck and poke, poke, poke."
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said officials Stephen Walkom and Graham Skilliter got the information from Toronto. It was Walkom from behind the net who called it a goal.
"He said it was a good goal," Hitchcock said of the explanation he received from Walkom. "Carter pushed the back of the net, pushed Jaro's foot off the post. Richards jammed it (inside) the post.
"I don't know. They'll have to explain that to you at the NHL level. Carter's motion on the back of the net forced Jaro's foot off the post ... it went in."
Justin Williams added an empty-netter with 1:16 remaining to seal the win for the Kings (19-12-2).
It used to be that the Blues had L.A.'s number, but the tide has turned heavily in favor of the Kings in recent meetings.
Brown and Trevor Lewis also scored for the Kings, who won for the fourth time in six games while beating the Blues for the eighth straight time -- including four wins in a second-round playoff sweep last spring. They've outscored the Blues 29-13 in that stretch.
"Every time we play them, it's a physical game," Kings center Anze Kopitar said. "We just focus on the very next game against them. It's not like we're looking back. Maybe we just catch them at the right time."
The Kings grabbed the two crucial points in the standings, giving them 40 on the season.
"Every game now is a playoff game," Lewis said. "Points are so crucial. This had a playoff feel. We've been in all kinds of situations and we know what it takes. Now we've just got to build on this."
Vladimir Tarasenko scored both goals for the Blues (17-14-2) and Halak stopped 36 shots -- the 39 shots he faced were the most he's seen in any of his 15 appearances this season.
"It was not good because [the] team [lost]," Tarasenko said of his first two-goal game since opening night. "It doesn't matter how many goals we score and how many games you make, it's all about the win. We don't have selfish players on our team. We're just thinking about wins."
The loss was the Blues' fourth in five games, and since they don't play again until Monday, they could end the weekend outside of the top eight in the Western Conference looking in. They came into the game in seventh place.
"We're trying, and right now, we've had some pucks that haven't gone our way," forward Alexander Steen said. "Myself, I've got to start putting some pucks in the net. I've had God knows how many shots the last couple games. Tonight I have one that goes off the shaft of the goalie's stick and one that goes off the bar. They've got to start going in.
"It was a heavy game. Both teams checked well and played hard. For us right now, it's tough to get that break at the end, especially so late in the game. There's not much really to say. We've got to get back to work. There's no point in feeling sorry for ourselves. We have 15 games to go, and we just have got to win the next one now."
The Kings outshot the Blues 13-7 in the opening period but Halak's goaltending kept them off the board.
The Kings had the best scoring chances following two Blues turnovers. Jarret Stoll fired high on a breakaway attempt with 9:49 remaining after a Steen turnover towards the end of a Blues power play, and Halak made a right pad stop on Richards' backhand attempt on a semi-break down the right side following McDonald's turnover.
Brown gave the Kings a 1-0 lead when he was able to convert a rebound of a Kopitar chance 4:42 into the second period. Halak made stops on Rob Scuderi and Kopitar on the doorstep, but the puck got to Brown on the opposite side of the net.
The Blues tied it at 10:55, with Tarasenko scoring his first in 10 games when he connected for a power-play goal -- the Blues' first man advantage goal in five games. The Russian rookie followed up his own rebound after getting a feed in the slot from David Perron. Jonathan Quick, who stopped 20 shots, made the initial save but left a rebound in the slot.
The goal broke a 106:07 scoring drought for the Blues dating back to Saturday at Edmonton.
But the Kings reestablished the lead when Lewis was able to outwork Wade Redden at the side of the Blues goal after a dump-in by Stoll and beat Halak with a near-side backhand just 1:53 after the Blues tied it.
Tarasenko equalized the game again for the Blues, as he followed up Alex Pietrangelo's one-timer and stuffed the puck past Quick from just off the goal line. Tarasenko, coming off the right half-wall, beat Scuderi to the position and finished it off 6:44 into the third.
The Kings were able to get a Brown winner with 1:27 remaining to beat the Blackhawks 5-4 on Monday. Richards' first goal in eight games pushed the Kings into fifth place, pending Detroit's game with San Jose Thursday night.
"It really is about this team going ahead and looking ahead," Kopitar said.

Disabled military veterans and their spouses are being encouraged to contact their county veterans services office to see if they are eligible for a homestead property tax exemption.
Disabled military veterans and their spouses are being encouraged to contact their county veterans services office to see if they are eligible for a homestead property tax exemption. Cheboygan County Veterans Services Coordinator Michael Wise said Gov. Rick Snyder signed legislation on Tuesday, Nov. 12 to extend the current homestead property tax exemption for disabled military veterans to a veteran's spouse if the veteran passes away before the tax break is granted. Wise said the existing property tax exemption eases the cost of home ownership for military veterans who were honorably discharged and are disabled and unable to work. This exemption is only available to 100 percent disabled veterans or those veterans with individual unemployability or, if the veteran has died, to their un-remarried surviving spouse who owns and uses the home as their homestead. The disabled veteran or their surviving spouse must be a resident of Michigan. Assessors are advised that eligible disabled veterans will be able to apply for a 2013 exemption at the December 2013 Board of Review. An exemption will cancel the July and December 2013 taxes, but will not cancel any taxes levied before 2013. An affidavit must be filed. Call the Cheboygan County Department of Veterans Services at 627-8833 to schedule an appointment to determine eligibility for obtaining the tax exemption. Veterans must present their annual VA benefits statement and/or most current rating decision stating 100 percent disabled or individual unemployability and their Michigan driver's license in order to obtain the affidavit. The affidavit must be given to the veteran's township supervisor by Dec. 6 in order to receive the homestead property tax exemption for 2013.

Here are the details you need to know to install a Code-compliant grounding system to serve hazardous (classified) locations.
Hazardous (classified) locations require special attention to grounding. It's easy to lose sight of the grounding requirements for these locations when you're managing all the other special rules. Although the Zone classification system (Sec. 505-25 simply requires compliance with Sec. 501-16 and Art. 250) hasn't added any specific grounding requirements, the complexity makes it easy to lose track of which grounding requirements apply. The following three guidelines will help:
• Decide if your electrical system must be grounded. Do you have to connect one of the circuit conductors to earth? Hazardous (classified) locations don't add any rules affecting this decision.
• Be sure conductive enclosures, including conduits and other wiring methods, are safe to touch (even under fault conditions). In the case of grounded systems, be sure if a fault to a grounded surface occurs, you have an adequate return path to promptly trip overcurrent protective devices. This is equipment grounding.
Hazardous (classified) locations, however, refine the general concept. We commonly see installations with very high workmanship within these areas, coupled with a lesser attention to detail in home runs feeding the local panelboards. That's a serious error, since the total grounding return path impedance is the sum of both the portion within the hazardous (classified) area, and the portion in general-purpose areas supplying those locations. You must also be sure while any fault progresses within the wiring system, the return current doesn't create arcing. This could ignite a local fuel-air mixture.
• Bonding fits closely with equipment grounding in this context. The better you connect conductive parts of enclosures and wiring methods together electrically, the less problems you're likely to have with external sparks and uncleared internal arcing. That's why most of the enhanced hazardous (classified) location grounding rules involve additional bonding requirements.
Bonding in the hazardous (classified) location. As covered in Sec. 250-100, you must assure reliable connections in these areas regardless of voltage. For example, if you have a Class 2 signaling circuit, its wiring method needs the same attention to bonding as a power circuit it may control. You'll also find similar requirements in Sec. 501-14.
Be careful when you apply Sec. 501-14 Ex. on nonincendive circuits. The limited energy circuits in some Class I Div. 2 locations run in ordinary wiring methods. This exception is a wiring method exception only. It doesn't affect the bonding rules. Even for intrinsically safe circuits, Sec. 504-60 applies similar bonding rules. Intrinsically safe circuit designs often depend on low-impedance grounding paths to carry fault currents shunted by zener diode barrier systems. Intrinsically safe systems also consider the total energy storage available, in terms of inductance and capacitance. An intrinsic-safety barrier manufacturer's calculations may not apply as intended if you fail to install the appropriate grounding path with the circuit conductors.
How do you comply? Follow the same enhanced rules as those for services in Sec. 250-94. You'll find an itemized list of acceptable methods, as covered in this section, in the 1999 NEC:
• Bonding to a grounded service conductor. This normally won't apply to hazardous (classified) location wiring, unless you have the actual service location involved. You should avoid this wherever possible—given the high power levels and available fault currents inherent to service installations. Follow the advice in Sec. 500-3(a) (FPN) and arrange your installation so the service falls outside of hazardous (classified) areas.
• Wrenchtight connections into threaded bosses and couplings. You'll probably use this technique the most. Even if you're using the new allowances in Sec. 501-4(a) for special Type MC cabling in Class I Div. 1 areas, you still need to make up your mechanical connections wrenchtight. Be certain you engage at least five full pipe threads in Class I Div. 1 areas. Sec. 500-3(d) won't allow you to leave a loosely threaded connection, even if you use a bonding jumper. Why? Loose threads won't complete an explosionproof enclosure (Fig. 1, on page 36 of original article).
• Threadless connectors and connectors made up tight for metallic wiring methods. You'll use this in Class I Div. 2 areas away from enclosures containing arcing components. Class I Div. 1 locations assume periodic explosions within the wiring method. This means joints need to contain the pressures of an explosion. These systems allow the hot gases to escape slowly and through a path with adequate heat-sinking ability. They end up cooled below the ignition temperature of the gases or vapors outside the enclosure.
There are two ways to do this. You can use flat, carefully milled surfaces bolted together, or you can use five fully engaged threads. The first method, widely used for factory-built enclosures, isn't practical for field wiring. The concept of a threadless connector clearly doesn't involve threads. Class I Div. 2 wiring, where not exposed to internal explosions, does use this principle. You could use compression couplings on a conduit run on the supply side only of an explosionproof seal you installed to complete the enclosure around a switch with arcing contacts.
• Other approved means, such as bonding locknuts, wedges, and bushings. Here, you'll be using this method in Class I Div. 2 locations. Sec. 501-4(b) doesn't require explosionproof enclosures in these areas except to enclose devices having normally arcing, sliding, or separating contacts. These devices could generate sparks during routine operation. When you do use conventional enclosures, you cannot rely on conventional locknuts.
Don't confuse this rule with allowances for over 250V to ground in Sec. 250-97 Ex. for double locknuts or for listed boxes with concentric knockouts rated for use without additional bonding. Sec. 250-100 points to Sec. 250-94 and nowhere else. You can use a bonding locknut on a clean knockout, and bonding wedges or bushings around a concentric or eccentric knockout only. Sec. 501-16(a) disallows the double-locknut procedure in Sec. 250-97 Ex.
Some manufacturers claim their listing on concentric knockouts brings them into compliance with the wording in the last paragraph of Sec. 250-94. That paragraph only imposes the bonding rule on concentric knockouts that "are punched or otherwise formed so as to impair the electrical connection to ground." The UL guide card restrictions only point to use over 250V to ground. That clearly points to Sec. 250-97 Ex. Don't use these products to satisfy either service bonding in Sec. 250-94 or hazardous (classified) location bonding in Sec. 250-100.
Bonding of flexible connections. Sec. 501-4(b) allows liquidtight flexible metal conduit and flexible metal conduit to be used in Class I Div. 2 locations where you need limited flexibility, such as at motor terminals. The Code requires bonding jumpers any time you use these wiring methods as the equipment grounding path from or within a hazardous (classified) location.
The only exception to this occurs on control equipment with overcurrent protection not over 10A. You can use listed liquidtight flexible metal conduit for these connections without an additional bonding conductor, provided you use fittings listed for grounding.
The equipment grounding return path. Sec. 250-100 applies within the hazardous (classified) location. Sec. 501-16 (and Sec. 502-16 for combustible dusts, and Sec. 503-16 for combustible flyings) augments those rules in two ways. First, it specifically disallows using locknuts for bonding purposes, and calls for bonding jumpers. Second, and most importantly, it requires the same enhanced bonding all the way back to where the local equipment grounding system originates.
There are three points where your equipment grounding system might originate.
• First, very service originates an equipment grounding system. If you're using a grounded electrical system, you connect that system to earth and to the equipment grounding system using a main bonding jumper per Sec. 250-28. If the system in your hazardous (classified) location isn't in another building fed from a remote service, and it isn't fed from a separately derived system, then it originates at the service and enhance bonding rules apply.
• Second, a separately derived system, by definition, has no conductors in common with the system that provides its source of power to the site. Therefore, any fault current returning over an equipment-grounding path must return to that separately derived source. The enhanced bonding rules apply only up to the separately derived source—not beyond it.
• Third, the source could be at a second building fed from another, but only if you reground your electrical system at that building. The 1999 NEC severely limits this practice . Now, you can only do this in cases where there aren't any common conductive paths between buildings, either equipment grounding conductors or items like bonded metal piping systems.
Don't confuse this concept with providing a grounding electrode at second buildings, per Sec. 250-32(a). You always have to do that to establish a local grounding reference for the equipment grounding system.
If you don't reground at the second building, then the enhanced bonding goes all the way back to the service. If you do reground at a second building, then the requirements apply as far back as the building disconnect, where Sec. 250-32(b)(2) requires the interconnection. From that point back, the grounded circuit conductor carries any fault currents.
This all looks much more complicated than it really is. Simply trace back the ground return path to the point where it no longer follows a raceway or a green wire, and instead follows a white wire. That's how far back the enhanced grounding and bonding rules apply. In the case of an ungrounded (or high-impedance grounded) system (no white wire used as a circuit conductor), apply the rules back to the grounding point for the system source. In accordance with Sec. 250-24(d), Sec. 250-30(b)(1), Sec. 250-32(c), or Sec. 250-36(f) as applicable for ungrounded (or impedance-grounded) systems, that point occurs at or on the line side of the principal disconnecting means.

So I'm watching the FCS Championship Game (formerly Div. 1-AA) between North Dakota State and Towson.
Unfortunately neither Montana nor Eastern Washington is playing, so I'm rooting for NDSU.
Currently (as I'm typing this) there is about 6 minutes left in the first quarter and the field that they are playing on (in Frisco, TX) is absolutely horrible. Turf is coming up in huge chunks and the sand base is being spread all over. You can see the divots looking at the field.
For a national championship game to be played on that kind of field is pathetic.
If I were on the board of the FCS, or the head or something, I would be looking to move the national championship game to a different location.
Seriously, I work on better fields at most high schools.
Okay -- Rant over.
Go Bison!

Newspaper article St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
IRS Official Won't Testify at House Hearing Today; She Plans to Invoke Right against Self-Incrimination
Article excerpt
WASHINGTON * Summoned by Congress, a key figure in the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups plans to invoke her constitutional right against self-incrimination and decline to testify at a congressional hearing today.
Lois Lerner heads the IRS division that singled out conservative groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status during the 2010 and 2012 election campaigns. She was subpoenaed to testify today before the House oversight committee.
But in a letter to committee leaders, Lerner's attorney said she would refuse to testify because of a criminal investigation by the Justice Department.
Among the harsher Republican comments after the IRS targeting was revealed last week, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he wanted to know, "Who's going to jail over this scandal?"
Lerner's attorney in Washington, William W. Taylor III, said Tuesday that his client "has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation, but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course."
Ali Ahmad, a spokesman for Oversight committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said the subpoena stood, raising the possibility of a public spectacle in which Lerner would decline to answer question after question.
News of her plans came on the same day the agency's former commissioner said he first learned in the spring of 2012 in the heat of the presidential campaign that agents had improperly targeted political groups that vehemently opposed President Barack Obama's policies.
But former Commissioner Douglas Shulman said he didn't tell higher-ups in the Treasury Department and he didn't tell members of Congress.
And he wouldn't apologize for it.
"I had a partial set of facts, and I knew that the inspector general was going to be looking into it, and I knew that it was being stopped," Shulman told the Senate Finance Committee in his first public comments on the matter. "Sitting there then and sitting here today, I think I made the right decision, which is to let the inspector general get to the bottom of it, chase down all the facts and then make his findings public. …

Patents As Weapons: How 1-800-CONTACTS Is Using The Patent System To Kill An Innovative Startup
from the shameful dept
It appears that 1-800-CONTACTS' CEO went onto Ditto's website the very day it launched, presumably to investigate the upstart competitor's new technology. Having seen Ditto's product, 1-800-CONTACTS then went out and purchased a patent from a defunct company that claims to cover selling eyeglasses over a network using a 3D model of a user's face.Yes, you read that right. First, the CEO went and saw the site, then sought out and bought a patent that could be used against the company (in this case, US Patent 7,016,824), then brought suit in a very inconvenient jurisdiction and, finally, isn't even entertaining the idea of licensing the patent. And, of course, the patent itself seems highly dubious in quality. Ditto thinks it would win the lawsuit, but spending what little money it has on litigation will almost certainly kill the company anyway. Even if it wins, it will likely lose by using up its money not on innovating, not on delivering a great service to people who want it, but on fighting a bully.
But here's the thing: 1-800-CONTACTS does not appear at all interested in licensing the patent to Ditto. Rather, it seems determined to put Ditto out of business. Period. So it's suing Ditto in federal court in Utah, hundreds of miles from Ditto's headquarters in California.
The EFF is asking for help in finding prior art for this patent, via StackExchange's prior art section, in the hopes that the patent can be invalidated quickly. In the meantime, though, shame on 1-800-CONTACTS for being an anti-innovation legal bully. Of course, this isn't the first time we've written about 1-800-CONTACTS doing dubious things against competitors. In the past, it's sued competitors for keyword ads, despite having lost similar cases and despite buying keywords on competitors itself. It seems that the company is willing to use the legal system to crack down on competition whenever it can, which makes it seem like a company worth avoiding when looking for any kind of corrective lens solutions.

These days, it seems that Microsoft is taking a lot of criticism from a number of different avenues. One thing is rather undeniable; Group Policy is a great solution for centralized management. Each time I find some new configuration item, I'll go out on Twitter and say something rash like, "Group Policy is the best product that Microsoft has ever made."
While it may be a quick-passing comment, the fact the remains that there are many configuration capabilities that Group Policy objects (GPOs) make possible. Further, there are built-in security aspects around the computer account that allow the policies (including network access) to be enabled or disabled. Group Policy as we have it now was first introduced in Windows 2000, some ten years ago. Sure plenty of agent-based system management products have come into the field, but some things are still just best addressed with Group Policy.
Part of the critique with Microsoft is that they aren't addressing the computing experience of modern times. While they haven't "won" the mobile phone operating system war, I do applaud the recent extensions of System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2012 to include Android, Symbian, iPhone/iPad platforms, and oh yeah, Windows Phone 7 systems. This is big news for the traditional environment dealing with the influx of consumer devices, yet still able to meet organizational needs.
While SCCM is not Group Policy, the strategy is a welcome bridge to managing this inevitable mix of devices. At face value, some may dismiss this as irrelevant because users are able to do everything they need to do without the traditional internal IT service. Sure, the vocal minority of that class of user will be self-sufficient with their iPad and fancy phone, but they may not need to do any real work that would need a full, managed computing experience.
The next argument is whether or not the PC is dead, making Group Policy and SCCM moot. Of course the PC isn't dead. People simply use more devices; once Dell, HP and others stop selling PCs and laptops, I'll believe that. Until then, Group Policy reigns supreme for PC and server centralized management. What is your take on Group Policy?

Product FAQ's
Can I purchase an Oxygen Treatment Hood for private use?No, Federal law (USA) mandates that Amron can only sell this device to physicians and/or licensed clinical practitioners.
What is the internal volume of the Oxygen Treatment Hood?1533.98 in³.
Is there any data on the flow rate needed to achieve 100% FiO2 in the Oxygen Treatment Hood with different head sizes?No. There are too many variables involved in determining the FiO2 inside the Oxygen Treatment Hood using a data chart or mathematical formula. Besides fixed factors like oxygen flow rate and exhaust rates, you have patient factors as well, patient head size, patient tidal volume and breathing rate, and patient health just to name a few. To offer your patients the highest concentration of oxygen, Amron suggest setting the oxygen flow rate between 25-50 lpm (Liters Per Minute) and using an Amron Exhaust Regulator 8890-300. The Amron Exhaust Regulator provides automatic exhaust of excess gas from the treatment hood regardless of input flow of oxygen. It will also track the supply flow and increase and decrease the exhaust flow as necessary. The easiest way to determine FiO2 inside the Oxygen Treatment Hood is to connect an oxygen analyzer to the hood by using the multi-purpose port. Analyzing a gas sample from inside the treatment hood in real time will give you an idea of what oxygen concentration the patient is breathing.
Can I use my Sterrad ® Sterilization system to sterilize my 8891 Oxygen Treatment Hood?
Amron has not preformed any testing to determine whether or not you can use this type of process to sterilize our Oxygen Treatment Hood. Amron recommends using SaniZide Plus as a convenient, fast-acting intermediate level germicidal disinfectant, cleaner, and deodorizer.
Do you make the 8891-010 Oxygen Treatment Hood in different sizes?
No, we currently only offer this one size.
Can I autoclave the my Oxygen Treatment Hood?
No. Amron recommends SaniZide Plus as a convenient, fast-acting intermediate level germicidal disinfectant, cleaner and deodorizer. SaniZide Plus is delivered ready to use and requires no mixing.
The method of cleaning as stated in the general instructions does not suit our unit due to the clean area that would be required to drip dry the hoods. Is there any other approved method of cleaning?
We only have two methods approved for cleaning.
1) The first is spraying Sanizide and letting the hood sit for 10 minutes.
2) The second is gas sterilization using the method below:
- Low - 4 hours at 100 degrees Fahrenheit with an aeration time of 36 hours
- High - 1 hour at 130 degrees Fahrenheit with an aeration time of 12 hours
Using the gas sterilization will shorten the life of the hood but we have many customers that use it and are very happy with the results.

Yeah it confused me too! The large piece to the right is for the dress version of the top, and there are slash lines for the front and back pieces and facings. You sew the facings on around this line and when you cut it it makes the V neck. Hope that helps, it's a really cool patten!

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The MIT men's track and field team picked up a second-straight runner-up finish at the NCAA New England Division III Outdoor Championship over the weekend at Springfield College. Despite winning just two individual events, the Engineers were able to secure a comfortable second-place standing with 108 points, well ahead of third-place Springfield's total of 56. Sophomore Stephen Morton eclipsed a 73-year old Institute record with his winning effort in the long jump.
Morton jumped 24-2.25 feet to better Stanley Johnson's mark of 24-2.00 feet, set in 1936. That distance was good for an automatic qualification into the NCAA Championship and currently stands as the fourth best in the nation. Morton added a strong showing in the triple jump en route to a second-place finish. The junior jumped 48-4.75 feet, just two inches shy of the automatic qualifying standard but currently the sixth-best mark in Division III.
Tech's other event win came in the 3000m Steeplechase, as Richard Prevost and Paul Welle combined for a dominant one-two sweep. Prevost edged Welle by just 2.25 seconds, crossing the finish line in 9:26.54. Both runners finished more than seven seconds faster than their closest competitor.
The Cardinal and Grey picked up key points in the 10,000-meter run with three top-six performances. Jake Ruzevick (32:42.00) led the way with a fourth-place finish. He was immediately followed by Daniel Harper (32:47.98) and Jack Bourbonnais (33:17.21).
Greg Tao and Nathan Peterson placed second and third, respectively, in the pole vault, with Tao vaulting 14-9.00 feet. Nate Sharpe also earned points in the event with a fifth-place showing. Mitchell Kelly was a runner-up in the discuss with his toss of 149-00 feet.
Williams College took home the team title with a total of 136.66 points.
The Engineers will be back in action at the NEICAAA Championship next week. The meet, hosted by UMass-Amherst, begins Thursday afternoon and ends Saturday.

If you chose to move from your current country of residence, where would be the best place for you to go? That's the question this year's HSBC Expat Explorer Survey 2009 is trying to uncover.
The report focuses on the experiences of expats and their ease of integration into local society, compared to the country in which they used to live. The rankings are based on a set of 23 criteria measuring quality of life and ease of integration that were answered by over 3,100 expats living in 26 different countries.
Overall, the study found that expats enjoy a better life in their new country, as a majority of respondents indicated an increase in their quality of life. The study also found that the most influential factors in an expat's quality of life are their commute to work, accommodation and transportation.
So, what are the best countries for expats? click ahead to find out!

Drinking a lot and vomiting
My dog drinks a ton of water then throws up! Only nine pounds, he will drink any amount, and out of whatever. He throws up every day usually more than once. He used to be a stray. He is not very active, he prefers laying around. He gets VERY aggressive when it comes to water. If you catch him drinking out of the toilet or licking the shower he gets very angry and snaps which is unlike him, he is a pretty calm dog. This has been going on for a very long time (about a year or so). It suddenly came on, it wasn't very gradual. We tried the veterinarian and they thought it might be a parasite. They gave him meds but it didn't work.
We really don't have the money right now to take him in early for another appointment.
Thank you so much!
This is obviously not normal and to me seems like a medical problem. I have no other suggestion than see a vet I'm afraid.
Please tactfully EDUCATE or IGNORE posters you don't agree with.
Please PM me & Include URLs and post #'s for any issues and it's my pleasure to help.
I'm firm - but fair. Mind the Rules and enjoy your stay.

I think sometimes it helps if you raise the water bowl; and/or put ice cubes in it to slow him down when drinking water - if he is maybe drinking too fast.
maybe, is that being a stray he didn't have enough access to water and so now he is just taking as much as he can. But I would still consider another trip to the vet, as it could be the result of a health problem...
Dogs don't need to talk, their life is their message ~ unknown.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
You might want to read this post by Dr. Lee regarding excessive water consumption: http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread....er+consumption
What sort of tests did your vet do the first time?
As Dr. Lee mentions, if funds are tight, start with a urinalysis. Shouldn't cost that much and will help narrow down some of the possible causes.
"To close your eyes will not ease another's pain." ~ Chinese Proverb
We must not refuse to see with our eyes what they must endure with their bodies. ~ Gretchen Wyler
Jull: We have tried that because sometimes it does seem like he is nearly inhaling his water. We got a special bowl that is supposed to slow him down but he is too smart and found a loophole. We do give him little portions now. It just seems like no matter how much we give him, he still isn't satisfied. He will sit and drink the toilet dry then go somewhere and vomit. Is there any way to make him drink slower other than what you have listed?
It might be that he was a stray but we have had him for nearly 8 yrs now and this only started happening about two years ago so.. He does have extreme anxiety problems to the point where if a phone vibrates he sits in the corner and shakes for an hour and nothing will calm him. I don't know if that could be a factor because he was always like that.
Thank you all for helping. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I would find an internal medicine vet and get a consultation. Ask your vet if s/he knows a good one, they can be a life saver. I know an amazing one in our town who has the best instincts, he's been a lifesaver for my last three dogs, when the vets thought they knew what was going on.
The shaking makes me think of digesitve issues, paarticularly combined with the *new* behaviour with the water. For example, my dog has been having shivering incidents, which we thought was related to her anxiety, but it turn out she is infected with clostridia, which is producing a toxin, and she's a completely different dog when on antibiotics.
Good luck with this, it's awful when you know something I wrong, but can't figure it out.

Cascade Locks Port Commission President Kathy Woosley explained to employees of the Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge on Wednesday that the boat had headed into rough financial waters.
She said turning management of the paddlewheel replica over to American Waterways, owners of the Portland Spirit Line, would lead to smooth sailing.
To hang on to a boat that had incurred a budget shortfall of $250,000 in 2005 did not make good business sense, said Woosley.
"Leasing the boat is the best option for our people to have an opportunity to still work," she said.
Chuck Daughtry, port director, said in spite of spending $150,000-$170,000 per year on advertising — well above the trade average — the boat failed to draw enough riders to generate a profit.
He said leasing the sternwheeler to a company that would dock it in Cascade Locks from May through October was preferable to the other three options. These choices included dry-docking the $3.5 million vessel, selling it outright or drastically reducing the number of employees and the wages they earned.
Currently, Daughtry said payroll costs for six full-time staffers and about 60 seasonal workers was $750,000 per year — half of the total operating costs. He said the ship's average annual revenue loss over the last 13 years was $100,000, although the monetary situation worsened last year.
He believes that American Waterways has access to other marketing venues that could actually bring more tourism into Cascade Locks.
"This is really the next step. We've built a market and now we've found a financial management team with expertise in this area that can take it to the next level," he said.
Not all of the 35-member audience at the special meeting of employees, family members and concerned citizens agreed with port officials. They were unconvinced that American Waterways would hire them if the deal went through by April 1 as expected.
"It seems like bad timing. We could sell out every one of our cruises when the casino comes in. We've waited so long and it's the wrong time to sell now that there is a light at the end of the tunnel," said employee Peter Holmstrom.
Although the majority of personnel sided with Holmstrom, Capt. Tom Cramblett did not.
He expressed confidence about getting a job with the new company. He said it was important that the port find any way possible to help displaced employees. But that it was time for local residents to accept that change was necessary to keep the sternwheeler in operation.
"The boat wasn't about me having a job. The boat wasn't about the crew having a job. The boat was about the community," said Cramblett.
Daughtry said the port expects a get a final offer from American Waterways next week. He said the negotiations have centered on making sure the boat remained a central part of community activities, such as Sternwheeler Days in June. While the port would turn management of the visitor center over to American Waterways, it would retain ownership of the boat and facility — and control of Port Marine Park, the Pavilion meeting room and Thunder Island.
Daughtry said if the port does not have to subsidize the sternwheeler each year, it can pursue other economic ventures that would be more profitable for city residents.

Just like the phoenix, the French Honeynet project resurrected: thanks to attackers not taking any break, making us willing to understand what's going on. The project re-started in December 2008.
As the activity started in December 2008, we mostly organized ourselves. We've setup the infrastructure based on Nepenthes and Rsyslog to gather logs from all deployed sensors to a single machine.
François had the opportunity to have a virus (Trojan.Pakes-2457) in one of the networks of his company. As the virus was detected as Generic and was not considered by their services as a threat, he took a look of signatures logged by Nepenthes. By great luck, the MD5 signature of this virus was spread on the honeypot the same day. This helped not only to know better than the "Generic" label using clamav, but also that this virus was still around on his network and was an active threat.
Picviz was created in order to give an answer to analyze a big set of data. The other tools cited above are still being actively developed.
Netfilter bindings were also created to have languages simpler than C to develop along with Netfilter (and do packet selection and alteration easily).
To show how powerful those stuff are, Wolfotrack (http://software.inl.fr/trac/wiki/Wolfotrack) and the Weatherwall got developed. Those bindings are available at: http://software.inl.fr/trac/wiki/nfqueue-bindings.
We make everything we can to integrate with other tools and help people to write cool stuff easily.
A ulogd2 install would be interesting to test the DB bandwidth, and test ulogd2 in a real-life environment.
See our papers for details.
Most of activity gathered by Snort are for web based attacks.
Logs and tools we write (see above).
What is missing, such as massive data understanding without signatures is what computer visualization provides. So we'd like to continue developing Picviz because there are still a lot of things to do with it.
The need for correlation rulesets is also a big lack today, this is why we are developing more rulesets on top of the Prelude Correlator (the latests added was to check whether the reported attack was originating from an IP listed in the Dshield database or not.
On behalf of the Usenix WASL group, researchers are looking for publicly available data. It is not easy to get real data from companies, are they worry for data contained in their packets. However this is a real stopper for researcher since they can only run their tools on a small amount of data, always targeted.
See first point.
Resurrecting the French chapter.
Improving tools we write from data that can be collected by various sensors. Install more different types of sensors. Keep researching in techniques to deal and react with massive amounts of data.

Looking for further connections for William Shaw and his wife Josephine (M.) Shaw (Reynolds). Josephine's parents were Stephen Reynolds and Sara Reynolds (Loveland). Any info would be greatly appreciated. My 2nd part of the quest is for William's son William F. Shaw whom married Margaret Horton (My g-grandmother). I have no info on these families. I know her father was a Horton and her mother was a Dawson(?). If anyone has any links or guidance again, it would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

UW-Oshkosh again rose to the occasion in the second half with a 34-13 victory over nationally ranked Marian University (Ind.) on Saturday (Sept. 14) in Indianapolis.
The Titans (2-0), ranked 10th in the NCAA Division III, scored 20 points in the second quarter and then shut out the Knights for the final 40 minutes. Marian (1-2) is ranked second in the NAIA after winning the 2012 national championship. The loss snapped Marian's eight-game home win streak.
Ryan Stefaniak turned the tide on a 13-13 game late in the first half. Quarterback Joey Hecklinski turned and fired a pass to his left, where Stefaniak read the play perfectly. He grabbed an interception and raced 45 yards for the touchdown that gave UW-Oshkosh the lead for good.
Both Stefaniak and Brian Hardy led the Titans with seven tackles. Stefaniak also marked three tackles for loss and one sack. UW-Oshkosh totaled six sacks by six different players.
This was the fourth time in seven games that UW-Oshkosh booked a second-half shutout. The Titans have outscored their opponents in the second half, 134-13, during the last seven contests.
Marian used a 23-yard punt return by Clifford Brown to set up its first score. The Knights then ran play-action, as Hecklinski found Anthony Jones Jr. for a 42-yard touchdown late in the opening quarter.
UW-Oshkosh responded on its next drive with Nick Olla hitting Caleb Voss on a bomb of 49 yards. Four snaps later, Cole Myhra bounced a run to the outside and galloped four yards for a touchdown that put the Titans ahead, 7-6.
The Knights came right back with a 75-yard drive of their own. Taylor Summa made a crucial 13-yard grab to convert 3rd-and-10. After a 46-yard run, Tevin Lake found the end zone for a one-yard touchdown.
Midway through the second quarter, UW-Oshkosh was set up with great field position. Jake Dostalek took the handoff, broke a few tackles and soared over the pylon for a 33-yard score that tied the contest at 13.
Marian missed a field goal late in the second quarter and another early in the third. The Titans then went to work with runs of 13 by Olla and 10 by Myhra. From the 14-yard line, Myhra went straight up the middle and bulldozed a defender at the goal line for his second touchdown of the day. UW-Oshkosh increased its margin to 27-13 with 7:57 left in the third period.
The Titans registered a nine-play, 80-yard drive during the fourth quarter to clinch the victory. Myhra caught a deflected pass for 22 yards to start the series. Zach Kasuboski ran for 15 yards on an option play to get closer. Then on third down, Olla lofted a 17-yard pass to Cory Wipperfurth, who made a diving reception in the corner for the final touchdown.
Myhra set a career-high with 29 carries, totaling 121 yards and two scores. Olla threw for 179 yards, while Voss posted three catches for 65 yards. The Titans achieved a 403-333 edge in total offense, as they converted 9-of-16 third downs. UW-Oshkosh was able to overcome three interceptions and one lost fumble.
Marian finished 0-for-3 on fourth down and came up empty on its final 10 possessions. Hecklinski racked up 206 yards passing, with 60 going to Summa (four catches). Lake rushed for 119 yards and acquired a game-high six receptions for 21 yards.
Narvin Powell topped all players with 11 tackles and a forced fumble. Ryan Hartnett also made 10 stops for the Knights.
UW-Oshkosh has next week off before its home opener against Alma College (Mich.) on Sept. 28.

WBU Recruiter Returns from U.A.E. with Prospects, Plaque
PLAINVIEW – On Debra Sherley's first trip to the United Arab Emirates, she heard that recruiting in the Middle East required patience.
"I was told that it may take three years to get a student on our campus," said Sherley, international student advisor in the office of admissions at Wayland Baptist University. "We got three the first year."
In the first effort by Wayland to recruit in that region, three students have enrolled. For Sherley, that was excellent return on her efforts. Even better news, in her opinion, is that the opportunities to recruit in U.A.E. are abundant.
"A lot of the missionary kids and expatriates from the U.S. live in the U.A.E., and they are hungry for information about American universities," Sherley explained. "We have to invest in them if we want them to invest in us."
That "investment" has included two trips to Dubai in the past few years for Sherley, who spent her days visiting numerous churches, schools and education fairs during both visits. Making contact with parents and pastors has proven to be a good route for Wayland, as they're able to connect with people who are most interested in providing a Christian education for their children.
Even the Muslim parents, Sherley said, were interested in Wayland because they appreciate the values and morals upheld at a Christian university and feel their children will be safer and in a moral environment to earn their education.
During her recent visit in February, Sherley attended a college fair put on especially for U.S. schools, encouraged by the U.S. embassy and supported by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Sherley said the American government is encouraging schools to recruit the U.A.E. region for the exporting benefits, and the U.A.E. is supportive of the effort as well.
To honor schools for their outreach efforts, the U.S. Commercial Service presented the President's 'E' Award for Excellence in Exports to five universities during the expo, noted as one of the most prestigious forms of recognition offered by the U.S. government. Wayland was among the honorees, along with the University of Central Oklahoma, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, University of Buffalo and the Community College of Southern Nevada.
The Commercial Service also noted that more student visas have been issued from Dubai in recent years, in part because of changes that have decreased processing time for visa applications. National residents of U.A.E. are provided with free college education regardless of the school they choose, but 80 percent of the country's population is non-nationals. Sherley added that there are only a few universities in the U.A.E., and they are primarily Muslim and therefore not appealing to many non-nationals. Though some American schools exist – owned by the U.A.E. but following an American curriculum and foreign faculty members – their capacity is limited in relation to the large population and they still don't have the U.S. stamp.
"The U.S. degree is still the most esteemed in the world," Sherley said. "If you have a U.S. degree, you have a better chance of getting a job overseas."
Because of this, students are interested in obtaining those degrees even if it means traveling to the other side of the world. While Dubai's Knowledge Village provides space for any universities to establish branch locations there, currently no U.S. schools have done so.
On her first visit, Sherley spent much time networking through the protestant churches in the region, and she did much of the same on the recent trip. She was invited to speak at the Emirates Baptist Church International one evening, and met a family who knew current WBU students Daniel and Maureen Coutinho, who are from Comoros, Africa, and Joann Jacob, a new student from Dubai.
This year, she also met with several school counselors to get the word out about Wayland. But parents continue to be the best bet for reaching students in the Middle East, as they are concerned about their children getting a good education and going to a school that upholds their values.
Sherley was able to visit with the parents of current WBU freshman Markose Chenthitta, a Dubai resident recruited during last year's visit, as well as Jacob's parents, and got positive feedback on their students' experience at Wayland.
"Parents are some of the best advertising we have," Sherley said of the visits. "If they're happy with the experience their kids are having here, they'll tell other parents."
Sherley remains confident that the growth in international recruiting – especially in the Middle East – is due to God's plan and opportunities he's put in place. Because of that, she says she can't help but look forward to what's ahead.
"These things are happening for a reason. We didn't go to Dubai just because we wanted to – the doors are opening for us there."

Amy Stewart, author of "The Drunken Botanist," shares her favorite cocktail recipes made with plants from her garden.
Garden-Infused Simple Syrup
Almost any botanical ingredient from lemon peel to rhubarb and rosemary can be infused into a simple syrup. This is an easy way to showcase seasonal produce from your backyard and add a twist to a basic cocktail recipe.
½ cup herbs, flowers, fruit or spices
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 ounce vodka (optional)
1. Combine all ingredients (except the vodka) in a saucepan.
2. Bring to a simmer and stir well, until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Let the mixture cool, then pour through a fine mesh strainer.
4. Add the vodka, if desired, as a preservative and keep refrigerated. Good for 2 to 3 weeks. It will last longer in the freezer.
The Mamani Gin and Tonic
1 ½ ounces gin
1 jalapeno
2 to 3 sprigs of fresh cilantro or basil
1 cucumber (1 chunk and 1 swizzle-stick-shape slice)
High-quality tonic
3 red or orange cherry tomatoes
1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the gin with two slices of the jalapeno, one sprig of cilantro and the chunk of cucumber.
2. Fill a highball glass with ice and layer 1 or 2 slices of jalapeno, a sprig of cilantro and the slice of cucumber.
3. Strain the gin and pour over ice.
4. Fill the glass with tonic water and garnish with cherry tomatoes on a toothpick.
The Frank Meyer Expedition
1 ½ ounces vodka
¾ ounce simple syrup
¾ ounce Meyer lemon juice
Dry sparkling wine or sparkling water
Lemon peel
1. Shake the vodka, simple syrup and lemon juice over ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
2. Float sparkling wine on top and garnish with lemon peel.
Note: For a less intoxicating variation, strain into a tumbler over ice and top with sparkling water instead of sparkling wine.
Blushing Mary
1 ½ ounces of vodka or tequila
4 to 5 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 mild or hot pepper, sliced
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 to 3 leaves of basil, parsley, cilantro or dill
4 ounces of tonic water
Celery bitters
Cracked black pepper (optional)
Slice of pepper, cherry tomato, herb leaf, celery stick, olive for garnish
1. Combine the first five ingredients in a cocktail shaker, then use a muddler to crush the vegetables and herbs.
2. Shake well over ice and strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice. Add the tonic water and stir.
3. Finally, add a dash of celery bitters, crack a bit of black pepper on top, if desired, and add your choice of garnish.

Chateau is in the house!! Good catch!! Want to hazard a time shot of Big Easy on the scaffolding?? can you tell us where the pitstop (assumed) tower where B/E is standing is?? puddin has the location of the background tower already, but where are they standing?? And how close is that to the Opera House?
Thanks puddin!! Is the video coming?? Chateau, we have everything, but the actual tower they are in thanks to puddin, but that remains unfound in GE.The OLD TOWN HALL is the site of the Astronomical Clock (where cameraguy Petr was filming) and here is a nice pano thanks to Slowhatch's link in MAPS. We will surely see something there tonight!http://virtual.praha.eu/towers/old-town-hall.html
I found the church except it wasn't a church New Town Hall, Prague Karlovo Namesti park on Google Earth .or panohttp://www.panoramio.com/photo/36307trying to embed View Larger Map
Thanks puddin!! Is the video coming??
Are you guys positive that the one shot is of Dan and Sam in the raft? They are wearing what looks to be blue wetsuits with yellow helmets, while the shot of them in the promo seems to be of them wearing black wetsuits.
It does if you click view larger map....
That is the GE link.
Who do you think it is? Dan and Sam make the most sense to me. Since we can't make out faces whats your guess?
at 10:48 I think this is when Sam and Dan cop Ericka and Brians taxi Does it look like the blue car/van might have broken down or something? and Dan and Sam switch to Brian and Erickas? something something s going on there or it might just be productionQuote
We don't need to see the watch. This is San & Dan loading up that taxi at 10:50 am. See the pink shirt.
Chateau is in the house!! Good catch!!
somewhere in this mess the brothers roll their raft and I'm thinking they might switch detours? or just are having a hard time which gets them a little bit behind the 2 leading teams

If an io_device() is set in binary mode, the functions get_chars and get_line may return binaries instead of lists. The binaries will, as of R13A, be encoded in UTF-8.
To work with binaries in ISO-latin-1 encoding, use the file module instead.

Cameron Talbot makes 37 saves for Connecticut in a 4-1 win over St. John'sNHL.com @NHLdotcom
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - Cameron Talbot made 37 saves as the Connecticut Whale defeated the St. John's IceCaps 4-1 in American Hockey League action Saturday.
Kelsey Tessier, Michael Haley and Mike Vernace each scored in the first period for Connecticut (21-21-6), while Christian Thomas scored into an empty net.
Carl Klingberg replied for the IceCaps (21-25-3), while Eddie Pasquale stopped 16 shots.
The Whale scored three goals on their first five shots, with Tessier scoring Connecticut's first goal at 5:07.
Some poor defensive play from the IceCaps led to the team scrambling in their zone. Thomas passed a bouncing puck through a defender's legs and Tessier buried it.
Haley scored the second goal of the game at 6:32 off another Thomas assist after he was found unmarked in the slot.
St. John's got on the scoreboard to pull within one goal of Connecticut on a Klingberg goal at 9:41 after he tipped a puck past Talbot.
The Whale ended the period with their third goal at 12:30 when Vernace parked himself on the back post and finished off a beautiful cross-crease pass.
After a scoreless second with few opportunities for either team, the IceCaps outshot the Whale 16-8 in the third but couldn't beat Talbot.
An empty net goal by Thomas sealed the game at 17:46.
