Don't lose your cool.
Car A/C Service
During the summer months, the temperature inside a vehicle sitting in the sun can easily reach 130°F or more. Keeping you and your passengers comfortable during the hottest weather is dependent on proper maintenance of your car A/C system.
The air conditioning system works by removing heat from the air inside your vehicle and transferring that heat to the outside air. What is left when the heat and humidity have been removed is cooler, more comfortable air.
To remove the heat, the automotive A/C system relies on several key components including a compressor, condenser, evaporator, pressurized refrigerant, valves and hoses; all controlled electronically.
For the A/C system to work correctly and be ready for the hot weather, it needs to be free from leaks so that the refrigerant stays in the system. Although A/C systems are resistant to leaks and contamination, they are not leak-proof. Over time, contamination or leaks can appear and affect the cooling performance of your car A/C system.
In fact, the most common cause of inadequate cooling is when the refrigerant leaks through worn seals and o-rings, loose fittings and connections. To make sure all parts and components of your A/C system work properly, we recommend having your car A/C checked at the beginning of the warm season. Your auto care advisor can recommend an A/C Performance Check to test for any worn hoses or seals and leaks or contamination as well as to make sure your vehicle is ready for the warm weather.
It is important to note that some refrigerants used in automotive A/C systems are considered harmful to the environment. At Tires Plus Total Car Care, we take great care to protect the environment while we are servicing the system.

WASHINGTON -- Being the leader of the free world is an expensive proposition. But the costs don't stop once you leave the White House.
The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service says the federal government spent nearly $3.7 million on former presidents last year. That covers a $200,000 pension, compensation and benefits for office staff, and other costs like travel, office space and postage.
The costliest former president? George W. Bush, who clocked in at just over $1.3 million. That includes almost $400,000 for 8,000 square feet of office space and $85,000 in telephone costs.
President Bill Clinton came in second at just under $1 million, followed by George H.W. Bush at nearly $850,000. Costs for Jimmy Carter, the only other living former president, came in at about $500,000.

The power of mentoring
By Lamont Bagby, Fairfield District Representative, Henrico School Board 02/23/11
Dear Henrico Business Leaders,
Daily, the number of school age children who are without the direct supervision of responsible adults after school is growing to alarming proportions. In the absence of such supervision, children are empowered to make choices and decisions that have significant impacts on their growth and development.
While some students are able to make positive choices, many of their peers do not demonstrate the same capacity and are subject to conditions and situations that stagnate their success and has the potential to significantly impact them later in life. Teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, and drop out rates are increasing at overwhelming proportions. Many youth today do not have the benefit of actively engaged parents; therefore, teachers, school counselors and coaches are charged with additional responsibilities that focus on meeting the growing, non-academic needs of the child.
As a teacher and coach at Henrico High School, I served as sponsor of the Distinguished Gentlemen Mentorship Program. The program afforded me a unique opportunity to introduce a group of thirty male students to the virtues of community service and school spirit. Not only were much-needed academic supports put in place but students were also provided with caring redirection to encourage their tendency to make positive choices and to refrain from making poor decisions. It was at that moment that I realized our students care less about how much we know and more about how much we care.
There are innovative, unique models of mentoring opportunities being created which allow students to gain invaluable insights to leadership development. One such program is the leadership initiative created by President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and senior White House Administration staff. The initiative gives forty young men and women an opportunity to develop relationships with them and grants access to the leadership of the administration.
The First Lady said, "I always wanted to be a bridge between kids like me and the possibilities that can propel them to greatness." This is precisely the spirit of bold action-steps that we would like to take in concert with the business community of Henrico County. I am confident that there are many individuals who you currently employ who have the same burning desire to serve in a capacity that motivates and uplifts our youth. Now is the time to afford these socially conscious, tax-paying members of our community the opportunity to fulfill their civic responsibility.
I understand the demands inherent in our long workdays and the plethora of obligations that fill our evenings with commitments to our families and organizations. So, I thought of other ways to seek your involvement that are just as critical to our programs' success. Henrico County has several mentorship programs that simply need funding. One-to-one mentorship programs have proven to be highly beneficial and are the most effective means of impacting a child's life, but there are significant challenges associated with finding the number of qualified mentors to support the programs. However, group initiatives have proven to be beneficial and do not require as much time.
It is critical for us to collaborate with the business community in our ongoing efforts to increase opportunities for our youth. I am grateful that my colleagues on the school board have responded favorably to providing funding for group mentorship efforts. Caring and committed teachers and coaches have submitted proposals that they feel are most beneficial to the youth we serve. The proposals illustrate that our staff has a true interest in increasing mentorship opportunities. While the board was able to support these programs in the 2009-10 budget, it was our hope that the funding would be seed money to illustrate a commitment to the initiative. If you are interested in investing in our future, then I invite you to support our mentorship initiatives.

Over the last three drafts, the Florida Panthers managed to stockpile an incredible array of young prospects. Some top-flight prospects such as former third-overall draft pick Jonathan Huberdeau, Quinton Howden, and Alex Petrovic will make their official professional debuts this fall. Other top prospects like Nick Bjugstad, Kyle Rau, and Corban Knight will return to their college programs, ready to resume their quests for a national title.
1. (1) Jonathan Huberdeau, C, 8.5B
Drafted 1st round, 3rd overall, 2011
The summer began with disappointment for the young Saint John forward after his team lost in overtime in the Memorial Cup championship game, but summer could end with Huberdeau pulling on a Panthers sweater and a rousing opening night introduction to the NHL. Huberdeau has shown that he has nothing left to gain from playing junior hockey and is all but guaranteed a spot in the Florida lineup when the season starts.

GLASGOW — Keith Alan Clark, 20, was eastbound on Burkesville Road when he lost control of his 1996 Pontiac passenger car on the wet roadway. Clark's vehicle went into the westbound lane of travel and struck a minivan driven by Sarah Dawn Taylor, 31, of Tompkinsville head on.
Taylor and passengers were taken to T.J. Samson Community Hospital. Taylor was later taken to University of Vanderbilt Hospital by ambulance. Larry Joe Fish, 65, was transferred to Vanderbilt as well by helicopter. Dillon Taylor, 7, and Makayla Taylor, 9, were treated and released from the local hospital.
Joe Kelly Fish, 40, was pronounced dead at the scene by Barren County Coroner Mike Swift.

Isuzu Rodeo No Start Stall Idle Problems
jig200 Posts: 1I have the same problem as you above, Check Trans/Cruise light. It s been doing this since a month and now my car won't even start. I tryt starting i would have to raise accelerator and once i let it go it would shut down and the Trans/cruise light and check engine will be flickering.It is pointing that there is problem and 3 mechanics could not find the problem.
The transmission shifts fine and everything. Don;t know what is the electronic problem. I changed spark plugs, computer and some fuses, but nothing changed.
pls help with this problem.
tico7 Posts: 1CHECK YOUR FUSE CONECTION AFTER TIME IT WILL BE LOOSE HAVE SOME ONE MOVE THE FUSE BACK AND FOWARD WILE CRANKIN THE RODEO . THE CLIPS THAT HOLDS THE FUSE BECOME DIRTY AND DAMAGE AFTER TIME, # 2 THERE IS A WIRE FROM THE ALTERNADOR THAT POWERS THE FUEL PUMP WHEN YOU FIRST START THE INGINE (1995 RODEO) CHECK ALTERNATOR. BUT IT IS PROBABLY A BAD CONECTION WITH THE FUSE HOLDER AND INGINE CONPARMENT FUSE BOX.. :shades:
jbenne Posts: 1My 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport won't start. Sometimes I can pull the starter relay out and stick a paper clip in it place and turn the key and it will start. other times it won't even work when I do that. Also sometime it takes a jump and the paper clip trick to get it to start. The battery checked out good and I put a new starter on. Please help!
I have a 92 Rodeo 3.1, auto, 2wd. Many times, it won't start cold. Cranks over fine. All lights, radio, etc work.
If I pour a little gas in the throttle body, it will start right up and keeps running. However, it will usually stall just around the transition to normal running temperature. Sometimes it will restart and sometimes I have to pour a little gas in then it immediately starts and runs. I might go through this 7 or 8 times sometimes before getting it to run. During this time, if I put it in gear, it will normally stall. Eventually, it will restart without the assistance of having gas poured in. When it does this, it will run with no more problems. When it finally, fully reaches operating temp, it's perfectly fine. No problem with stalls, restarts, strange idle, surges, nothing. It runs great. I have never gotten a check engine light and according to a friend of mine with a code scanner, there are no codes stored.
The problem seems to be a little more prevalent in colder weather, but does happen in all weather. It will also occasionally give a check trans light. When this happens, as soon as I slow to about 10 mph, it stalls and will not restart without having the gas poured in. This also normally occurs before reaching normal operating temp but has happened at normal temps.
This vehicle has 230,000 on the clock. I have replaced the rear end once, probably looking at replacing or new bearings if the pin bolt isn't broken, again pretty soon. It has all the normal stuff for a 20 year old car, rust in a couple spots on the body, normal rattles, most bearings in the engine rattle, uses a little oil, leaks a little oil (not much), driver's seat is beginning to wear out.
The only real problem I have is this starting issue. I haven't found a posting anywhere that really covers this issue. So, I am hoping that someone has an idea where I need to go from here to solve the problem. It's a pain to sometimes have to take 10 to 15 minutes to get out of the yard.
I have replaced the fuel filter, plugs, rotor, dist cap, wires, checked vacuum hoses, MAP sensor seems fine, tried gas from different stations.
Thanks for any help anyone might be able to give.
Our 97 rodeo has over 250000 miles on it. It stalls when we put it into park, and has a mildly erratic idle while in gear. I have fixed one vacuum line that comes from the EVAP solenoid to the throttle body. There is another vacuum port that has no line connected to it, so I capped it off. As you look at the engine, the port is on the left side of the manifold, towards the front. I replaced the plugs, fuel filter and air filter. This does have the individual coil packs. I'm thinking it might be the EGR valve, but no code for it. Also thinking that it might be the IAC, but not sure. Any ideas?
ivy96 Posts: 8When I had this issue, I found, when I took off my IAC, it was black and disgusting inside. I cleaned it with contact cleaner, put it back on, and my truck started beautifully. Every once in a whilen it starts acting up again or the check engine light will come on, and that is the first thing i do, it never fails me. I supose replacing it would be a good idea, but if you're low on funds, just clean it up.
As for that vacuum line with no hose, did it make a difference when you capped it? That darn line has baffled me for years and my Chilton Guide doesn't seem to say anything about it. I am just curious.
I capped the line because it was direct access into the intake. It made a little difference, but not much. On the older Rodeos (96 and older), it was used with a check valve that connected to a steel vacuum line that ran along the frame rail on the drivers side back towards the tank.
The fuel and vacuum lines for the tank run on the passenger side of the 97 rodeo. Our manual nor the vacuum diagram show that line. I just capped it.
The only thing I can think of is that it goes to the transmission vent that sits in the corner of the engine compartment on the passenger side, but I highly doubt it.

Christmas is less than a week away, and children throughout Cherokee County - young and old – are putting the finishing touches on their wish lists.
While some dream of electronic games and gadgets, others prefer quality time spent with family. Some have seemingly never-ending lists, while others wish for only a couple of items.
"I want an iPad and a bouncy puppy," said 7-year-old Alexis Marsh. "I also want stuff for the iPad."
Donald Jones, whose hair is thinning, recalled holidays past, which sparked his wish for this year.
"I would like to have hair for Christmas," said Jones.
Clay Radeke has never outgrown his love of classic cars, and hopes Santa will oblige him his wish this year.
"I want a perfect 1967 Corvette Stingray Coupe," said Radeke.
While teenagers may roll their eyes at the idea of making lists of any sort, several Tahlequah High School students in Elsie Morris' class shared their checklists for this Christmas. Most involve spending time with family.
"I would like to witness a miracle," said Bree DeBord. "I also hope the best for my family to make it through our first Christmas without my grandpa."
Cheyenne Green will be missing her father this year.
"I would like to be able to have my dad at home," said Green.
Unless Mother Nature offers a little more cooperation, Taylor Ann Cross may disappointed this Christmas.
"I'm hoping to have a white Christmas and have all of the family over," said Cross.
Jeanessa Joice will welcome a new family member this Christmas.
"I'm looking forward to seeing my new baby cousin smile for the first of many times," said Joice. "I also want to win the annual baseball game."
Other local residents also indicated they'd most enjoy spending time with family. Leah Trapp is among that group.
"I wish that my boys, Isaac and Luke King, have the best Christmas," said Trapp.
Kelie Myers hopes is looking forward to spending time with her son, as well.
"My wish for Christmas is to spend it with my son and [to give him] a hug and a kiss," said Myers. "I feel fortunate to have my grandparents, and I want to wish everyone a happy, safe and peaceful holiday."
Carrie Lane will be spending this Christmas a long way from her family home, but is happy to be a new resident of Tahlequah.
"I'm far from my home in Wyoming," said Lane. "During the holidays, I want for everyone to be together, but with the weather in Wyoming, it's hard to go there, since you might have to stay. Tahlequah has been very good to my family and me."

I Had Gastic Bypass Surgery in Nov 2010 Have Saggy Breast and Inner Tights and Need a Tummy Tuck Will my Insurance Cover It
Would Insurance Cover a Tummy Tuck After Gastric Bypass?
Doctor Answers (3)
Removal of excess skin after gastric bypass
The short answer is sometimes insurance will cover removal of excess abdominal skin. Less frequently they will cover breast surgery (depending on how much tissue needs to be removed) and I have never seen insurance coverage for inner thighs. Whether your insurance will cover these procedures depends on your policy. The best way to find out is to prior authorize it with your insurance company. Your board certified plastic surgeon should be able to do this for you. Good luck.
Usually not.
What you want is considered cosmetic in nature and thus not covered by insurance. The most insurance covers is the removal of an apron of skin that hangs down over your pubic region. The cosmetic improvement needs to be self paid.

I received a phone call yesterday afternoon from my brother who lives in Pennsylvania. Getting a call from him in the middle of the day is unusual since he runs his own business (nuisance trapping -- you know bats in the attic, raccoons rummaging through your garbage cans, voles digging up your yard )and seldom has time to chat during the work day. However, he was eager to tell me (the family's "safety maven" ) about a crash he had just witnessed and the circumstances leading up to it. (Let me add that he called from his cell phone while sitting in a parking lot.)
"I was following this woman for about ten minutes and she was doing the head bob," he said. "It was pretty obvious she was texting because she kept looking down. Plus, she'd speed up and then slow down for no apparent reason and failed to go when the light we were both waiting at turned green."
"I kept my distance," he continued, "and I'm glad I did, because the next thing I know she's plowing into the back of the car in front of her. I saw it coming; she was looking down and then wham!"
My brother's eye witness account of this driver's obvious disregard for her safety as well as the safety of others on the road is not unique. In fact, I've shared the road -- and I'm sure you have as well -- with many "head bobbing" motorists who simply refuse to put down their iPhones, Droids, Blackberries or other mobile devices. Sure there are laws banning texting and driving (Pennsylvania's ban took effect March 8, while New Jersey's has been in place since March of 2008) and widespread recognition that the practice is unsafe (82% of motorist recently surveyed by the AAA Clubs of New Jersey said texting is a serious distraction), but it persists at an alarming rate.
While many point to teens and young adult drivers as the primary culprits, older and more experienced drivers are guilty of the offense, too. According to a 2011 PublicMind poll of New Jersey motorists, one in four admit to texting while driving. For those of us who don't want to share the road with distracted drivers, those aren't good odds.
New Jersey, however, is getting tougher on motorists who text or talk on hand-held cell phones while driving. Last Thursday, Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno signed the Kubert, Kulesh and Bolis bill into law. Named after five individuals who were seriously injured or killed by districted drivers (several of whom were teens), the bill makes it easier for prosecutors to charge a driver with assault by auto or vehicular homicide if he was talking or texting on a hand-held cell phone before a crash.
While the law doesn't enhance the current cell phone/texting penalty ($100 fine, plus court costs and fees), it sends a clear message to motorists that this unsafe and "reckless" behavior is unacceptable and they'll be held accountable for their actions. Under New Jersey motor vehicle statute, vehicular homicide is punishable by between 5 and 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $150,000. Assault by auto, meanwhile, is punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Since I typically blog about teen driving, what's the take-away here? It's imperative that teens understand the awesome responsibility that comes with the privilege of obtaining a drivers license. If a drivers fail to take that responsibility seriously, he could hurt or not only kill himself, but others on the road. And in the case of the latter, he would be punished to the fullest extent of the law, which could mean jail time.
As parents, we must impress upon our novice drivers that the decisions they make while driving have a ripple effect and there are no "do-overs" when it comes to car crashes. So it's also imperative that they understand the real danger associated with using a mobile device behind the wheel. While teens (and many older drivers, too) may think they can text and drive safely (a third of 18 to 24 year olds surveyed by NHTSA think they can take their eyes off the road for 3 to 10 seconds without it affecting their driving), they simply can't. Consider this -- a driver traveling 55 mph who takes his eyes off the road for 4.5 seconds will travel approximately the length of a football field blind.
Want to drive this point home with your teen? Put him behind the wheel in an empty parking lot, tell him to close his eyes and then instruct him to step on the gas. I'm betting he'll think you've lost your mind. (If he doesn't, then he's not ready to drive.) Distraction and inattention are the number one cause of teen crashes in our state. Yes a cell phone can be a lifesaver in the event of a vehicle breakdown or crash, but it becomes a deadly device when used while driving. Ensuring that our teens understand this and take it to heart (and parents, we must too), is absolutely essential.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It's the biggest scam going -- overpayment.
And Jodi Winterton believes she almost fell for it. The NBC Charlotte engineer knew something was wrong when she received a response too good to be true while selling on Craigslist.
Winterton had a Jeep Wrangler soft top she wanted to sell. She got several responses, but one stood out as troubling.
She read NBC Charlotte the email: "'I'd like to get it,' the response said. Will send you a check FedEx the next day. I will give you an extra $100 to hold it.'"
Winterton says she grew more suspicious when the buyer said he didn't even want to see it.
"I would really have liked to come for the viewing, but due to my work, it might not be possible," he wrote.
"Overpayment scam is the most popular scam going on in the world right now," said the Better Business Bureau's Tom Bartholomy.
Bartholomy found 130 complaints nationwide about Craigslist on the day NBC Charlotte spoke to him about this story.
He explained the overpayment scam where buyers appear to sweeten the deal as long as you send them the item fast.
They pay you for your item, and add extra money to the deal in a Cashier's Check or Money order, but the checks don't clear.
When the seller realizes he got scammed, it's too late. The seller is left without his item and now owes the bank money for the bad check.
"It can be a very scary place to do business. You can lose money, items, you can lose your identity all in a single transaction," he says.
Craigslist offers warnings, but is not held responsible for any transactions, Bartholomy says.
Still, consumers can protect themselves by dealing locally and paying and selling in cash only. According to Craigslist, if you do that, you can avoid 99 percent of all scam attempts.
Craigliist also advises to never wire funds or give out any financial information and never submit to credit checks or background checks for a job or housing until you've met the landlord or agent in person.

Sign up to get panda news from the Zoo.
Giant pandas are black and white bears that live in temperate-zone bamboo forests in central China. Among the best recognized—but rarest—animals in the world, they have come to symbolize endangered species and conservation efforts. As few as 1,600 giant pandas survive in the mountain forests of central China. More than 300 pandas live in zoos and breeding centers around the world; most of these pandas are in China.
Giant pandas Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are at the National Zoo under a Giant Panda Cooperative Research and Breeding Agreement, signed in January 2011, between the Zoo and the China Wildlife Conservation Association. This extends the Zoo's giant panda program through 2015. Mei and Tian are the focus of an ambitious research, conservation, and breeding program designed to preserve this endangered species.
Giant panda cub Bao Bao is now on exhibit! Bao Bao is now spending much of her time in the trees of her outdoor exhibit where she can sometimes be difficult to see. Sharp eyes will spot her.
Visitors will be allowed into the panda house on a first-come-first-served basis.
Due to the expected number of visitors to see Bao Bao, Asia Trail will be open to one-way traffic only. Visitors will enter Asia Trail at the sloth bear exhibit, near the Connecticut Avenue pedestrian entrance. Those visiting Bao Bao will be asked to line up outside the giant panda house in front of the panda yards. For the safety of our guests, animals, and staff, visitors will be allowed into the panda house in small groups to avoid overcrowding.
Visitors will enter the panda house from the west entrance, by the red panda exhibit, and exit the east entrance. After leaving the panda house, visitors will exit Asia Trail near Panda Plaza.
Although the panda house will be open from 10 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Mei Xiang and Bao Bao may not always be visible during that time. They will have access to the den where Bao Bao has spent much of the past few months and may choose to spend time in there instead of on exhibit.
We celebrated Mei Xiang's birthday yesterday at the panda habitat. She turned 16 and received a special frozen treat for some extra enrichment. The next birthday we'll be celebrating is Bao Bao's! She's turning 1 year old in 31 days.
Bao Bao is an ambassador for her species. Her birth represents decades of cooperation between scientists in China and the United States. In the 42 years since Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing first arrived at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, scientists have learned much about giant panda reproduction. Their successes are represented by the more than 350 giant pandas now live in zoos and research centers around the world. And Chinese scientists are preparing to begin reintroducing pandas born in human care to the wild.
Bao Bao was born as the result of a precisely-timed artificial insemination performed by scientists from the Conservation Biology Institute and from China. SCBI scientists had tracked Mei Xiang's rising hormones, and keepers monitored her behavior to pin-point the short 48-hour window when she was in estrus. Thanks to giant panda biology, the next five months were a waiting game. Female giant pandas' behavior and hormones mimic a pregnancy even if they are not pregnant. But on August 23, 2013 after 16 days of 24-hour behavior watches the panda team learned that they had been successful when they saw Mei Xiang give birth to a tiny squawking cub.
We're asking all of our panda fans to help us celebrate giant panda conservation in honor of Bao Bao's birthday on twitter! Tweet a message about what Bao Bao represents for conservation and wish her a happy birthday using #BaoBaoBday. We'll also be sharing clips from the panda cam vaults and new photos of Bao Bao leading up to her birthday. So follow us @NationalZoo and use #BaoBaoBday!

In the ancient Greek world, the word stadium or stadion referred to a measurement of distance, a foot-race, and the place where the race was held and observed by spectators.

Running vncserver on Fedora Core 10 with gdm
Fedora Core 10 introduces several new features, and as with all new releases, several new frustrations. In this how-to, I cover the steps needed to get
vncserver up and running, so you can connect to your GNOME-based desktop.
First, Core 10 is more secure out of the box than any prior version of the Fedora operating system. How secure? It installs both iptables and SELinux by default, and it does not give you the option not to install them or turn them off initially. If you are unfamiliar with these, especially SELinux, you should read up on them. It has been ten years since I last worked with SELinux, so I need to get back to the books...er...wikis.
vncserver does not install by default, nor do the
twm or
xterm applications that the default configuration of vncserver uses.
So, first, install the package(s). I did a simple
yum install vncserver xterm twm.
Then, run vncserver (for the initial connection, I always take the defaults just to make sure it installed correctly):
[admin@core ~]$ vncserver
You will require a password to access your desktops.
xauth: creating new authority file /home/admin/.Xauthority
New 'core.lab.foo.bar:1 (admin)' desktop is core.lab.foo.bar:1
Creating default startup script /home/admin/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/admin/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/admin/.vnc/core.lab.foo.bar:1.log
If you look in the .vnc directory, you'll find the xstartup script. In my case, it contains the following:
[admin@core .vnc]$ cat xstartup
vncconfig -iconic &
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
Fire up your VNC viewer (I use Real VNC on my Windows machines) and…oops, cannot connect—remember that point about the firewalls? You need to add the ports to your iptables:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 5901 --source x.x.x.x/xx -j ACCEPT
(where the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx is the CIDR address range to allow, so 192.168.0.0/24, for example). Now I can connect, but the twm is not the most enlightening window manager in the toolbox, especially since I spent time installing all those really cool widgets and games into GNOME (and KDE, your choice—I use both equally well).
In the old days, it was a simple matter of commenting out the
xterm and
twm & and replacing them with
gnome-sessions & (or
gdm &, more recently). If you do that, well, you get some interesting errors:
[admin@core .vnc]$ cat core.lab.foo.bar:1.log
Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.3
Copyright (C) 2002-2008 RealVNC Ltd.
See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC.
Underlying X server release 10503000,
Wed Feb 25 08:52:53 2009
vncext: VNC extension running!
vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5901

** (gdm-binary:3164): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
And, if you connect, you get a lovely gray screen and the xterm window—not exactly what you were expecting.
Now, perhaps I have been setting it up wrong all these years, but if you follow the directions in
xstartup and uncomment the lines for normal desktop:
[admin@core .vnc]$ cat xstartup
vncconfig -iconic &
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER #<-- uncomment
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc #<-- uncomment
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
you are up and running in no time (although you still might get a few X-related display errors in the log files).

Thank you SO MUCH for spamming my internet with the one millionth article instructing me on how to do something that fedora pretty much does automatically. Now what I want to do is let students at my school use a windows vnc client to logon on to THEIR OWN account. Why is it that not *one* of you linux blow-hards has figured out how to do this?
Don't tell me about ltsp - they have no clue! No the answer is not at Fedora's forums - they have no clue! The answer is most definitely not to be found by googling - Why do I keep reading about imaginary files on my system like /etc/X11/gdm.conf if I'm using the same OS as the author? I even found one clown claiming to have combined ltsp, vnc logons and Fedora 10 only to find his install guide involves overwriting an ALREADY WORKING dhcp and network setup with an imaginary network card that clients can't actually connect to, as such.
Now I know you get what you pay for and all that so I guess I'm going to have to choose between the students paying microsoft for the privilege of using dysfunctional software or me paying for your hubris with my own job.
What would you choose?
'Your' internet? Blow-hards?
'Your' internet? Blow-hards? Are you an AOL user? But I digress. If what you want is 'terminal services' from Linux, then the LTSP is the most mature offering in the FOSS realm, despite your misgivings. If overwriting an 'already working' networking setup is unpalatable to you, and you don't have spare hardware, run a Xen virtual host (Xen kernels available in|built-in to Fedora since Core 3 IIRC) - or even download the free VMWare Server product for Linux and run a virtual machine in there. Run multiple virtual machines on an internal virtual mini LAN on either one of the above solutions. Experiment inside this 'sandbox' until you get it right.
Linux isn't about canned solutions, it's about customization and freedom to do things the way *you* want|need them done. If that means learning a bit about the underlying OS (try the 'man' command), and you aren't comfortable with that, then go pay the M$ tax. Or, even better, if you are damned and determined to pay for a canned solution, get Macs. You allude to being an educational institution, and thus are eligible for Apple's education discounts. Mac OSX Server since 10.4 has had canned solutions for what you want: VNC terminal services, point-and-click interface for setup and accounts, integration with Windows AD domains, etc., etc.
Stop whining about a lack of documentation. These 'how tos' are written by people who implemented their own solution. If you were anything like a real (UNIX) Systems Administrator, you would figure it out yourself and then enlighten the rest of us with a thoughtful article.
fedora seems good to use with. i think it will be a great revolution in coming future..
i have not used this fedora till now. but i know it will perform better whenever will be used....
This one is not easily
This one is not easily understandable by the non developers. But quite an interesting one site for use. Continue giving such an information.
Convoluted I know
Yes, this one was a bit tricky (and the web site is being flaky and not showing the formatting which doesn't help - we are working on that).
This is one of those cases where I spent a bit of time on a couple of other sites compiling the solution into one place. If you use VNC especially as an old time user, it makes perfect sense (at least it should...). If I can be clearer or answer something specific, post a follow up.

It's Fedora and not Fedora
It's Fedora and not Fedora Core since Fedora 7 (Fedora Extras was merge with Fedora Core).
> SELinux, so I need to get back to the books...er...wikis.
A good help^W book : http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-user-guide/f10/en-US/
O'Reilly too.
Thanks for the pointer. I have the O'Reilly book from the dark ages too.

what about gdm?
Running vncserver as a user will get you a gnome desktop login, but it doesn't present you with the actual GDM login manager at all. Is there an easy way to get the actual login screen so that any user can log in via vnc?
VNC is not RDP
Remember that VNC has its own security model, and functionally by-passes the login screen because it assumes you have already entered your "strong" password when you launched the vncserver the first time.
If you are used to the RDP protocol, it is essentially acting as a terminal client and presenting you with the login etc. VNC doesn't do that. It will prompt you with the password to YOUR desktop, not a general sever login.
For terminal access, I believe you need the Linux Terminal Project...

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

When David Ragan drove for Jack Roush, his goal was to win multiple races, lead laps and compete for the Sprint Cup championship.
With Statesville-based Front Row Motorsports, Ragans goal is to finish the season in the top 25, get more top 10 finishes and finish more races.
I always believe we can win, Ragan says late Thursday afternoon as he leaves for Darlington Raceway and Saturdays Bojangles Southern 500. But I dont expect it. We cant make any mistakes and a lot of things have to go our way.
At Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway Sunday, a lot of things did. Ragan had a great run courtesy of a push from teammate David Gilliland, seized the lead, worried he made his move too early, held off Carl Edwards and won the Aarons 499.
I went high to block Carl, Ragan says.
I thought Tony Stewart said you arent allowed to block.
Just Tony, Ragan says. You cant block Tony. You can block everybody else.
The finish was Ragans first finish in the top 10 this season and the second Sprint Cup victory of his career.
Ragan, 27, won the 2011 summer race at Daytona International Speedway when he drove for Roush. His primary sponsor then was UPS. When UPS pulled its advertising Ragan was without a ride.
Front Row hired him last season. The team has fewer employees, money and resources than the contenders and, until Sunday, had never finished in front.
Its humbling, says Ragan. Makes you appreciate things a little more. I did take it for granted, thats for sure.
He crossed the finish line and saw his father, former Winston Cup driver Ken Ragan. He encountered Edwards who told him, Good job. Jimmie Johnson offered him a thumbs-up. Former crew members congratulated him. So did Gilliland, who finished second.
Then the real celebration began. As any driver with perspective will tell you, celebrating with your team, with the people who put you in position to win, is like winning a second time.
Ragan is unlikely to win once again at Darlington. To win a Sprint Cup race is terribly difficult for even the elite teams. There will be frustrating practices and races in which Front Row finishes near the back.
Thats when Ill look back at last weekend and smile, Ragan says.
He smiled Sunday when, four hours after the race, he got in the airplane for the trip back to Charlotte. He is not a phone boy. When the race starts, the phone does not ride. He didnt have an opportunity to check the phone until he relaxed in the plane.
Word travels faster than any driver, even on a restrictor-plate track. Ragan had 260 text messages and more than 100 emails.
By Thursday, he had answered each.
I can tell you that Ragan is humble and gracious (and fun to be around).
Or I can show you.
Reid Flair, son of Ric Flair, died tragically in late March. Ragan, who grew up a fan of Rics, once sponsored a racing and wrestling event at his dealership, Ragan Ford, in Perry, Ga. Reid, a professional wrestler, competed on the card.
After Reids death, Ragan texted me and asked if I had an address for Flair. He wanted to send a sympathy card.
Flair will make an appearance Saturday at the Southern 500. Flair texted Thursday to say that hell find Ragan.
If I were betting, Id bet that Ragan finds Flair first.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Two Charlotte men will each spend more than 4 1/2 years in federal prison after authorities say they orchestrated two separate Ponzi schemes.
Mitchell Brian Huffman, 52, and Robert S. Moss, 49, both pleaded guilty last September to one count of commodities fraud. The men were sentenced late Thursday and will self-report to prison at a later date.
Huffman was charged after authorities say he engaged in a $2.5 million Ponzi scheme. Authorities say he raised about $3.2 million from his victims between 2006 through about March 2011 by falsely claiming he was generating annual rates of return between 100 percent to 150 percent using a commodities futures market trading program, according to court documents and proceedings.
Authorities said Huffman told his victims to transfer money into his personal bank account. He then spent about $1.7 million – or a little more than half – of their money to engage in trading activities and concealed the scheme using bogus monthly statements to victims. Authorities say Huffman also made payments of about $834,160 to victim investors and falsely told them the money was profits from trading activity.
Huffman also spent some of the victims' money on personal expenses, such as vehicles or luxury vacations.
Huffman was sentenced to five years in prison followed by three years of supervised release. He also was ordered to pay restitution to his victims, with a final amount to be determined within 60 days.
In the second case, Moss was sentenced to 57 months in prison and ordered to pay $1.46 million in restitution.
Moss was charged with orchestrating a $1.5 million scheme. Authorities say that between 2001 and February 2009, Moss solicited about $3.1 million from 22 victims across the country by falsely claiming he was generating substantial projects through options trading in the commodities futures market.
For example, authorities say Moss told his victims that he had not had a losing year of trading since 1993 and generated annual returns between 22 percent and 41 percent. But authorities say he suffered losses of $342,264 between 2003 and 2009.
Authorities say Moss concealed the scheme by making $1.6 million in Ponzi payments to his victims and falsely said the money came from successful trading profits. They say he also spent some of the victims' money on personal expenses such as mortgage payments or groceries.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Offensive lines usually aren't the focal point of a football team heading into a season.
But according to Cardinal O'Hara head coach Angelo Sciandra, the Hawks' fortunes will live and die with their front five.
"I think we're going to be an improved football team this year, for sure," Sciandra said. "Our line is one of the biggest reasons why I'm more optimistic going into this season than I was last year. Those guys have another year of experience, they're a good group of kids and the continuity of working together the last couple of years also helps too."
The Hawks' offensive line is composed of five juniors – tackles Tyler Jansen and Kris Croom, guards Mike Spagna and Gino Lattuca, and center Darnell Hamilton. All of them except for Lattuca (who recently switched from tight end to guard) started for the Hawks last season and have seen their development grow by leaps and bounds this offseason.
"They've been very diligent in working in the weight room this summer. They've gotten stronger and they understand our blocking schemes a lot better," Scianda said. "It's not so much now where they just go and seal off someone just because they've been told to block that person. They really understand the concepts of our plays now, and they understand the big picture better."
O'Hara also faces the challenge of replacing Anthony DiFrancesco, their quarterback from the three previous seasons. The recent graduate was a leader for the team and was a threat in both the passing game and running game.
"Anthony was always going to be tough to replace," Sciandra said. "He was a tough, tough kid and was a heck of an athlete. I don't know if I've ever had anyone like him."
Fortunately for O'Hara, their new starter under center has already gained experience running their offense. Donel Cathcart, a junior, stepped into the lineup last season when DiFrancesco injured his knee and performed admirably.
"Last year, when Anthony blew his knee out, we went with Donel for the rest of the year and he looked pretty good under center," Sciandra said. "He looks a lot more polished this year and he's running our offense better. He's still a little inconsistent with his throwing, but when he throws well, he really throws it well. He just has to become more consistent, and I think he's going to have a good season starting for us."
Cathcart needs to have a good season if O'Hara plans to turn around its fortunes in 2013. The Hawks, a small school that won just two games last season while playing against the likes of St. Joe's, Canisius and St. Francis, will face the same gauntlet of large schools again this season.
Sciandra, however, believes his team won't be intimidated by the size of the schools they will play against.
"We have 120 boys in our school and all the schools we play, like St. Joe's and Canisius have 700-800 boys. It's definitely a challenge," Sciandra said. "We tell the kids all the time, they might have more boys in their school, but they can only put 11 kids out on the field at a time. You put your 11 against our 11, and let's get it on."2013 Hawks Last season record: 2-8 Head coach: Angelo Sciandra, 13th season KEY PLAYERS: Donel Cathcart, Jr. QB/CB, Tyler Jansen, Jr. OT/DT, Kris Croom, Jr. OT/DE, Mike Spagna, Jr. OG/DT, Gino Latucca, Jr. OG/LB, Darnell Hamilton, Jr. C/DT.

WATERVILLE, Maine --- Richard Newton (Arlington, Mass.) went deep for Colby College and the Mules had 11 hits, but Southern Maine scored five runs in the top of the ninth inning to pull out an 11-7 win in non-conference play Wednesday at Coombs Field.
Nick Grady (Whitefield, Maine) had a two-run double and Mike Eaton (Sabbatus, Maine) ripped a two-run single in the ninth for the Huskies.
Southern Maine improves to 12-9 overall and the Mules fall to 9-9.
A hit batter, an error, and a bunt single loaded up the bases in the top of the ninth for the Huskies. Eaton followed with a two-run single to put USM up for good at 8-7. After the Mules recorded two outs, Grady smacked his double to drive in two more runs. USM scored the final run of the inning on a Colby error.
The Mules led 2-0 after three innings, 4-2 after four, and took the 7-6 lead into the ninth.
Eaton finished with three hits, a walk, and two RBI on the day. John Carey (South Portland, Maine) added two hits and two runs, while Grady also scored two runs to go along with his big double in the ninth.

"Zombie Prom"
Performance Dates:
Thursday, January 24 - 7:30 pm
Friday, January 25 - 7:30 pm
Saturday, January 26 - 7:30 pm
Sunday, January 27 - 3:00 pm
Admission is $10 for adults and $7 for students.
Bright flashes of bubblegum pinks and electric oranges adorn the stage of Port Neches-Groves High School's production of "Zombie Prom," which will open at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the auditorium.
The musical will take the audience back to the 1950s during an era of knee-length skirts and lettered cardigans and centers on a familiar love story between a good-girl wanting to rebel and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks who is that rebellion.
Except that the boy happens to be a by-product of a nuclear waste accident.
Choosing a musical is always an expensive choice, Eyles said during dress rehearsal on Tuesday.
"We did 'Bye, Bye, Birdie,' a few years ago and it was a ton of money," Eyles said. "Because you have to buy the performance rights, productions like this are expensive."
In every theater class, she teaches her students the importance of frugality. At most schools, funds for theatre, band and choir can be scarce, therefore she said her classes make sure to recycle everything.
"I have a pretty decent stock of 50s dresses, but I gave the kids a list of what they needed," Eyles, who has taught at PN-G for five years, said. "We start with a low-limit, recycle everything; this year, we only had to buy paint for the set."
Trips were made to Walmart and Goodwill to find the authentic-looking garb worn by the cast members. The lettered cardigans were sewn on by the students, she said.
"We have football and basketball players, theatre students and Indianettes in this production; these are the leaders of the school, so there really is a cross-section of students," she said.
With cascading red locks and a booming singing voice, three-year theatre student Ashley Mouton will portray Delilah Strict, the "mostly unpleasant" principal of the fictional Enrico Fermi High School in "Zombie Prom."
Now a senior, Mouton has performed in every PN-G production since late in her freshman year, making Strict her seventh role to tackle. She is also an Indian Singer and member of the Indian Players, the school's acting troupe.
"She has been really fun to play — an interesting character," Mouton said. "(My favorite roles) have to be a tie between this character and Rusty in 'Footloose.'"
Mouton and a classmate, Katelyn Parker, recently advanced to the national competition of the Texas All-State Thespian Convention. The pair was able to bring their acting chops and work with students from Midland to Denison, Mouton said.
"Out of 60 plays, 10 are chosen to advance to Nationals in Nashville, Tenn.," she said.
Mouton enjoys acting out the supporting roles because they give her the chance to be "larger than life with fun and memorable quirks," but the focus isn't all on her.
"It's been such a fun show with such a talented group of singers," she said.
Each part of the production is executed by students, including the set design, technical work (lighting and sound) and all the performance elements. "They learn it in class and are able to apply it out here," she said.
At the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year, the auditorium was revamped with a complete LED lighting system.
"We are the first high school in Texas to have a 100 percent LED auditorium," Eyles said, admitting that they are somewhat "guinea pigs." "What was once used to run one lamp can run produce a full set of lights."
Due to a "very forward-thinking" maintenance director who wrote the request for all LED lights, the school board approved the more expensive system knowing that eventually it would cost less in the future, Eyles said.
"It's full color and covers the entire stage," she said. "We asked for the moon and they gave us the sun."
Senior Katelyn Parker is the technical director for the show and is able to change the flow of the production by using different onstage lighting, Eyles said. This helps the mood go from happy (pink) scenes to more serious "zombie" (green) scenes.
Former PN-G student Thompson Pham choreographed the show, taking direction from the original Off-Broadway production and combining his own techniques. Pham is a dance teacher at iRule Dance Studio in Beaumont.
A major challenge for the production has been combining the live orchestra, made up of advanced PN-G band students and teachers, with the song and dance onstage. Due to the Christmas break, there have only been about 10 rehearsals altogether and only a few with the live music, Eyles said.
Band director Alex Wells will conduct the orchestra, while the assistant band director Phillip Maldonado will be performing in it. Choir teacher Steve James will play guitar, science teacher Annette Meier on piano and Martin Trammell on drums.
Tonight's performance starts at 7:30 p.m. at the PN-G auditorium, 1401 Merriman St. in Port Neches, and will run until Sunday. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students.

I may have to pick some up today. This is so frustrating! I feel like I have to pee ALL THE TIME and nothing even comes out half the time. As soon as I wipe and stand up I feel like I have to go again. That's pretty much the only symptom at this point. Could this be a serious issue or does it just sound like irritation?

Entertainment behind the scenes
Jakob Dylan daydreams on stage
The next time you see Jakob Dylan pouring his heart and soul into his songs while performing in concert, be aware that the rock musician could be faking it and pondering some completely random notion.
"I can sing just about anything, and think about almost anything else. I really can. You'd be surprised," Dylan told fans during a Q&A at the Grammy Museum on Monday, a day before the release of his second solo album. "I'm not above playing songs that people want to hear whether I'm necessarily so into it. I won't make an audience wait 4 hours 'til I get to that (mental) spot.
"The only time I try to avoid songs is when I think that it just sounds like, 'Oh boy, for those 4 minutes I'm probably going to check out too much and that's not good for anybody.'"
The 40-year-old rock 'n' roll scion begins a U.S. tour near Pittsburgh on Friday to promote the new disc "Women + Country." As the married father of four children, he said he has become increasingly aware that concertgoers are shelling out good money for babysitters and gas, "and I think you've got to honor that to some degree."

text: A new ranking by financial website Kiplinger rates Louisiana as "America's Most Disaster-Prone State." State Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon says this comes as little surprise. "There's no denying that we are very challenged by natural disasters," he insisted. The report covers the past decade and shows Louisiana had 7 hurricanes, 2 tropical storms and 20 other severe weather incidents including tornadoes during that time. Estimated insured property losses were over $32 billion. It says that Katrina did $3 billion in insured damages, Gustav more than $2 billion and Isaac about $750 million. Donelon says the numbers are even higher when you add in uninsured losses and those covered by federal flood insurance. Florida was second; followed by Texas, Mississippi, and then New York.

BROOKLYN: So wait. Wearing a great dress in a great color, and not looking like you rolled out of a Dumpster… is bad?
RIHANNA: Are you joking? It is HIDEOUS. And BORING. I don't even recognize myself. I want to leave.
BROOKLYN: No, no, don't do that — um, I'm sure we can find something you like, right?
RIHANNA: Okay. Have at it. IF YOU CAN BEAR TO LOOK.
BROOKLYN: Well, okay. Uh. Your hair… huh, even your hair kind of works here.
BROOKLYN: Um, I mean, still looks like a cheap wig from GCB.
RIHANNA: Good, good…
BROOKLYN: Ooooh, and I can sort of see some boob contours, and the darts kind of might look like nipples from some angles, so… well, you're practically nude, really, right?

BROOKLYN: Aw, thanks.

BROOKLYN: Well, that's not very nice, since I just…
RIHANNA: So let's TRADE. And I'll look like a quilted fisherman's net and you can look all sane and classy. Oh, this is the BEST IDEA EVER. I'll see you in the ladies' room in five.

PICTURES: Ty-phoo Legends triumph over Ginetta All Stars in Wilko's
11:38am Thursday 29th November 2012 in Latest News
JON Wilkin's Ginetta All Stars went down to defeat against the experienced Ty-phoo Legends team at Langtree Park on Sunday.
The celebrity football game was staged in aid of Wilkin's testimonial - and was not without goals or incident.
The legends, featuring ex-Saint Paul Loughlin in goal and scrum half Jonny Lomax up front, won 4-1.
It was no surprise given the wealth of experience in their ranks - Sammy McIlroy, Mike Newell, Andy Ritchie, Mickey Thomas and Mark Wright.
They were up against an All Stars side featuring Corrie stars Alan Halsall (Tyrone) and Sam Aston (Chesney).
Sean Long came on late in the game and made himself busy, although he did take exception to a bad tackle from Radio Five Live's George Riley and responded by giving him a dig.


text: I am star pony-less. I haven't bought one and I don't intend to. In a week where an estimated 400K plus players have opened their pocketbooks to add a celestial steed to their stable, my wallet is staying firmly shut. My level 80 characters will have to suck it up and manage with their less-than-celestial steeds. They will just have to suffer through the pain and embarrassment of riding non-translucent mounts. Why handicap my characters' coolness by leaving them with their less aesthetically pleasing "standard mounts"? Because I a little afraid of where this micro(macro)transaction trend could take us. What's to fear from a translucent horse? I doubt it could bite – in fact I am not even sure it has teeth. Teeth or no, the horse can set a precedent, one that I am not happy about.

Stade Francais Paris
London Irish
Fixture Type: Amlin Challenge Cup
Match Date: Sat 14 Dec 2013
Kick Off: 21:00
Venue: Stade Jean Bouin
Referee: Ian Davies
Citing Commissioner: Alberto Recaldini
Assistant Referee: Simon Rees
TV Match Official: Gareth Simmonds
Andrew Fenby opened the scoring for the Exiles before the hosts responded with four unanswered tries to claim the all important victory. Both sides now sit top of the group with two matches remaining to see who qualifies for the quarter finals. The bonus point try does however put the Parisians in the box seat.
The Exiles made an energetic start to this crucial encounter putting the hosts under pressure right from the off. Pressurised defence forced the Parisians into making an error as they kicked the ball straight out having left their 22. From the resulting line out the forwards charged into the Stade Francais pack with some powerful phase play. The ball was engineered wide and Irish came within centimetres of scoring when Leo Halavatau was judged to be short by the TMO.
From the resulting scrum the ball was carried by Ofisa Treviranus and after a quick clear out at the ruck Darren Allinson passed to Shane Geraghty who chipped the ball to the corner where Andrew Fenby plucked it out of the air and dotted down. A deserved score that their brilliant start warranted.
A lack of communication from the following re-start allowed Stade to win the ball and put them on the front foot. After a try was disallowed for a forward pass, Jules Plisson made amends by scything through the Irish defence to score adjacent to the posts. Jerome Porical added the extras to put the hosts ahead.
It was Stade indecision that allowed Shane Geraghty to kick his first points of the evening. They fumbled the re-start forward and regathered forcing an Irish penalty. Geraghty made no mistake to retake the lead.
Porical cancelled out Geraghty's penalty with his first of the evening before replacement hooker Michael Van Vuuren was driven over by his forward pack for their second try. Porical's conversion gave Stade Francais a significant lead.
Brian Smith's side worked their way back upfield and quickly reduced the arrears with two further Geraghty penalties. The Stade full back, Porical, cancelled one out on the stroke of half time to make it Stade Francais 20 London Irish 14 at the interval.
There was a lively start to the second half as holes began to appear in both defences. Alex Lewington exploited the open spaces to full effect with a darting run that took him past three defenders before chipping over the full back. The ball ran just too long and the home side were able to overt danger.
Jules Plisson's last act of the match before being replaced by Morne Steyn was to put in his own neat chip kick that he recaptured before racing for the line. He was dragged down by the joint tackle of Alex Lewington and Tom Fowlie too slow the ball down. With their tails up, the hosts spun the ball wide and Porical was left to run in their third try. Porical's conversion left Irish 14 points behind with 30 minutes remaining.
The game continued to flow from end to end with Irish in particular having to force their hand as they chased the game.
Stade kept their composure at the end and managed to score the all important bonus point try with a minute and a half remaining through back row forward Antoine Burbasn. Stade go level on points with Irish at the top of the group with two games to play.

Women's Golf Finishes Fall Season as Stetson Invite Concludes
DELAND, Fla. – In its final tournament of the fall season, the FGCU women's golf team headed to the clubhouse in sixth place following Tuesday's final round of play at the two-day Stetson Invitational at the Victoria Hills Golf Club in DeLand, Fla.
"Although the results of this tournament aren't where we'd like them to be, I feel that we have a good understanding of where our strengths and weaknesses lie," said first-year head coach Meghan Spero. "Heading into the spring we will work on bringing our weaknesses up to par and building upon our confidence as a team."
The Eagles' five-member squad started the event with an opening round 318 and came back with a six-stroke improvement in round two for a day one total of 630 (318-312). Already in sixth place heading into the final day, the Eagles maintained their position at tournament's end with a closing round 315 for a final tally of 945.
With totals of 893, Daytona State (307-286-300) and tournament host Stetson (300-299-294) topped the nine-team field to claim a share of the team title.
Leading the Blue and Green on the leaderboard, sophomore Briana Carlson (Inverness, Fla./Citrus HS) finished in a two-way tie for ninth overall in the 45-player field, carding a final round 78 for a total of 227 (75-74-78).
Firing the best round of the day for the Eagles with a 77, junior Fabienne Haremza (Wildermen, South Africa/Glenwood House/Lamar University) moved into 22nd on the leaderboard with a score of 235 (79-79-77), while freshman Megan Van Etten (Trinity, Fla./J.W. Mitchell) shot an 80 to wrap up the event with a 240 (81-79-80), good for 25th overall. Matching Van Etten's score on the day, senior Katerina Toomalatai (Palm Coast, Fla./Flagler Palm Coast HS) also added to FGCU's tournament total, handing in a three-round 243 (83-80-80) to tie for 26th with two other individuals.
Daytona State's Mitsuki Katahira earned medalist honors with a 207 (72-68-67).
With the fall season now behind them, the FGCU women's golf will take time to prepare for the 2011 spring season. The Eagles first spring tournament is set for February 6-8 as they take part in the Jacksonville Classic in Jacksonville, Fla.

I'm feeling particularly disturbed by the mystery of the woman murdered and tossed away like garbage in a trash can on Dublin Canyon Road.
Now that there's a face to see, we can start to piece together who she was. She's no longer just a body in a trash can. She was someone's baby girl one day not so long ago. She could be a sister, a mommie, a cousin, a wife, a girlfriend.
There are so few details to go on, but even the little things are clues. She liked bright nail polish colors and wore funky pierced jewelry. I look at the tiny worn brassy feet-shaped earrings she was wearing, and it really gets to me.
Did she pick out those earrings with girlish purple rhinestone gems because they made her smile? Did they reminder her of a baby's feet? Did they just seem like a fun thing to wear for no reason at all?
When someone who is loved goes missing, it's usually big news because their relatives and friends will stop at nothing to get them back. Names like Sierra LaMar, Sandra Cantu and Michelle Le become imprinted on our minds as their faces are put on posters plastered all over our communities.
But there are so many more others out there we never hear about. According to the Department of Justice's California Missing Persons page, there are about 25,000 active missing person cases.
Robert William McIntosh of Solano County. Athena Zamora of Oakland. Kaelyn Aragon of San Bruno. April Downing of San Ramon.
Just peruse the pictures on the site. They're babies, teens and grown-ups of many different races. They look happy or miserable. Smug or defiant. Innocent or angry. Some simply look utterly and completely desperate and frightened. Some seem as normal as any kid in a yearbook snapshot. Two, sisters just a year apart, are wearing frilly summer hats with flowers on top.
And all of them are gone.
Of all the missing people, 2,100 of them haven't been identified. Just like our Pleasanton Jane Doe.
Murders are rare in the Tri-Valley, so I'm just guessing that Jane Doe was killed and dumped off here from somewhere else.
But I hope that won't stop us from adopting her as our own.
Because if she remains unidentified, it's likely no one else will. And it doesn't seem fair that she be forgotten the way she was left, just a body in a trash can.
If you know anything about this case, call at (925) 931-5100. You can also call the Missing Children Hotline at 1-800-222-FIND or email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any information about any missing child or adult.

Net Neutrality
Posted by Bruce Robinson in technology , resources , protest , politics , policy , nonprofit orgs , news , media , legislation , Ideas , government , economy , current events , corporate responsibiliyt , Congress , California , business , activism
Defenders of uniform access to the internet, a concept termed "net neutrality" are calling on the FCC to reject a new proposal from Google and Verizon to create multiple tiers of access.
Historically, Google has been among the defenders of of Net Neutrality. But Craig Aaron, Managing Director of the Communications watchdog non-profit Free Press, says the company's latest move appears to contradict that stance.
The joint announcement of their proposed new regulatory framework from Google and Verizon announcement drew a mixed and bitterly divided reaction from tech writers across the country, but was defended in a Washington Post op-ed essay by the top executives of the two companies.
The Free Press petition drive to tell Google, "Don't Be Evil," is online here.

Hey guys. First post. Glad to be on board.
I recently bought a set of RT 12's a a secondaty HT system upstairs.
I replaced the black tweeter ( SL5000) with the tri-laminiate (SL6001).
I haven't noticed a "huge" difference, I do need to listen some more to them.
Do tweeter like drivers need to be "broken in"
To my knowledge only the RT16's came with the tri-laminites.
Thanks for the advice !!!

Barclays sets out post-RDR stall with new advisory rate card
by Danielle Levy on Nov 16, 2012 at 10:33
Barclays has set out its stall for the post-retail distribution review (RDR) world with a new rate card for advisory clients.
For clients using its advisory investment service, the bank will now charge an annual fee of 0.75% for advice and custody on the first £1 million in assets, which then drops to 0.6% for the next £2 million, 0.5% on the next £4 million and 0.25% over £7 million.
On top of the annual management charge, Barclays is setting an 'advice execution fee per trade', which is based on a percentage of the investment.
In comparison, some competitors charge commission per transaction and a flat transaction charge, which can be around £20.
For structured products, Barclays' execution fee starts at 0.7% on the first £100,000, and is tiered thereafter dropping next to 0.4%. Equities and collectives start at 1% for the first £100,000 dropping to 0.65%, while alternatives start at 1.25%.
The rate card has been driven by the onset of adviser charging as part of the RDR from next year, which introduces increased transparency, and the removal of trail commission on new fund holdings.
It is understood that all clients will be brought onto the new structure in time, although those with existing assets where the fee was built into historic holdings will not be double charged.
The bank is also charging 1.25% on the first £5 million for its advisory portfolio management service, which gives clients access to a dedicated portfolio manager. This then drops to 1% for the next £5 million. The service has a formal £3 million minimum investment requirement for new clients, while the bank said it 'may charge a minimum annual fee totalling £37,500'.
Barclays has set its one-off financial planning annual charge at 2% on the first £250,000, which moves to 1% thereafter.
A spokesperson for Barclays said: 'We have been writing to [clients] over the last week with details of pricing to ensure we continue to be fully transparent. We believe, through our "investment philosophy", incorporating cutting edge behavioural finance and asset allocation techniques alongside global expertise in research and investments, we continue to offer a market leading service to clients, with clear, transparent and competitive pricing.'

What on earth is a "one off financial planning annual charge"report this
Nov 19, 2012 at 10:12
I thought that, it can't be both "one off" and "annual"! I assume it's the latter, i.e. an annual fee for ongoing advice.report this
