While logged into ssh, type ~s to see stats of ssh
Suspend ssh session
Sometimes it is necessary to view debug messages to troubleshoot any
SSH connection issues. pass -v (lowercase v) option to the ssh as shown
below to view the ssh debug messages.
. a Ruby SSH helper script
. reads a JSON config file to read host, FQDN, user, port, tunnel options
. changes OSX Terminal profiles based on host 'type'
put 'ash' ruby script in your PATH
modify and copy ashrc-dist to ~/.ashrc
configure OSX Terminal profiles, such as "webserver", "development", etc
run "ash myhostname" and away you go!
v.2 will re-attach to a 'screen' named in your ~/.ashrc
Play with the framerate option '-r' to scale back bandwidth usage.
The '-s' option is the captured screan area, not the rescaled size. If you want to rescale add a second '-s' option after '-i :0'. Rescaling smaller will also decrease bandwidth.
This command will bypass checking the host key of the target server against the local known_hosts file.
When you SSH to a server whose host key does not match the one stored in your local machine's known_hosts file, you'll get a error like " WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" that indicates a key mismatch. If you know the key has legitimately changed (like the server was reinstalled), a permanent solution is to remove the stored key for that server in known_hosts.
However, there are some occasions where you may not want to make the permanent change. For example, you've done some port-forwarding trickery with ssh -R or ssh -L, and are doing ssh user@localhost to connect over the port-forwarding to some other machine (not actually your localhost). Since this is usually temporary, you probably don't want to change the known_hosts file. This command is useful for those situations.
Credit: Command found at http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-disable-ssh-host-key-checking.html. Further discussion of how it works is there also.
Note this is a bit different than command #5307 - with that one you will still be prompted to store the unrecognized key, whereas this one won't prompt you for the key at all.
Mac install ssh-copy-id
From there on out, you would upload keys to a server like this:
(make sure to double quote the full path to your key)
ssh-copy-id -i "/PATH/TO/YOUR/PRIVATE/KEY" username@server
or, if your SSH server uses a different port (often, they will require that the port be '2222' or some other nonsense:
(note the double quotes on *both* the "/path/to/key" and "user@server -pXXXX"):
ssh-copy-id -i "/PATH/TO/YOUR/PRIVATE/KEY" "username@server -pXXXX"
...where XXXX is the ssh port on that server
this command from the source server and this follow in the destination server:
ssh user@localhost -p 8888
commandline for mac os x
Works for multiple hosts (such as www.google.com) and/or wrong hosts.
Quick shortcut if you know the hostname and want to save yourself one step for looking up the IP address separately.
Easily removes line #2 in ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
If you have servers on Wide Area Network (WAN), you may experience very long transfer rates due to limited bandwidth and latency.
To speed up you transfers you need to compress the data so you will have less to transfer.
So the solution is to use a compression tools like gzip or bzip or compress before and after the data transfer.
Using ssh "-C" option is not compatible with every ssh version (ssh2 for instance).
It's useful mostly for your custom scripts, which running on specific host and tired on ssh'ing every time when you need one simple command (i use it for update remote apt repository, when new package have to be downloaded from another host).
Don't forget to set up authorization by keys, for maximum comfort.
This improves on #9892 by compressing the directory on the remote machine so that the amount of data transferred over the network is much smaller. The command uses ssh(1) to get to a remote host, uses tar(1) to archive and compress a remote directory, prints the result to STDOUT, which is written to a local file. In other words, we are archiving and compressing a remote directory to our local box.
The command uses ssh(1) to get to a remote host, uses tar(1) to archive a remote directory, prints the result to STDOUT, which is piped to gzip(1) to compress to a local file. In other words, we are archiving and compressing a remote directory to our local box.
If you work in an environment, where some ssh hosts change regularly this might be handy...
This command shows a sorted list of the IP addresses from which there have been authentication errors via SSH (possible script kiddies trying to gain access to your server), it eliminates duplicates so it's easier to read, but you can remove the "uniq" command at the end, or even do a "uniq -c" to have a count of how many times each IP address shows in the log (the path to the log may vary from system to system)
Transfer files with rsync over ssh on a non-standard port, showing a progress bar and resuming partial transfers.
this way you have the multitail with all its options running on your own machine with the tails of the two remote machines inside :)
Listens on local port 5500 and connects to remotehost with username user to tunnel the given socket file. Will work with anything, but can be useful if there's a need for a local application to connect with a remote server which was started without networking.
Creates the .ssh directory on the remote host with proper permissions, if it doesnt exist. Appends your public key to authorized_keys, and verifies it has proper permissions. (if it didnt exist it may have been created with undesireable permissions).
*Korn shell syntax, may or may not work with bash
This one is a bit more robust -- the remote machine may not have an .ssh directory, and it may not have an authorized_keys file, but if it does already, and you want to replace your ssh public key for some reason, this will work in that case as well, without duplicating the entry.

If you're craving full Windows 8 on a tablet the size of an iPad Mini, and want a great display, the ThinkPad 8 is one of the best we've seen...but not by much.
The third version of Lenovo's ultralight 14-inch laptop, the X1 Carbon, gets nearly all the basics right while adding a few new twists, including a function key row that changes app by app.
Lenovo solves half the Yoga equation with a clever hidden keyboard on the ThinkPad Yoga. If we could combine this with the higher-res screen and better looks of the consumer version, we'd have the ultimate hybrid.
A buttoned-down T-series with some modern touches, the Lenovo ThinkPad T431s is a business laptop you won't mind traveling with unless you need the latest and greatest components.
Even with the best detachable-screen hybrid hinge we've seen, the older CPU and high price make the ThinkPad Helix a hybrid for a select audience only.
This Windows 8 tablet from Lenovo scores with great industrial design and battery life, but adding practically required accessories makes the ThinkPad Tablet 2 very expensive for what you get.
Besides gaining touch, Lenovo's newest ThinkPad Edge at CES features a single-cable system for consolidating output clutter.

Ashley's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Buffalo Bills, because I have to represent my hometown football team, Buffalo fans are one of the most passionate & crazy fans. Being at the Bills game on a sunday in Buffalo is a given, its nothing but tailgating, cook outs, beer funnels.. Basically I'd describe our pre-game festivities to a spring break party minus the beach & sun haha. We are pretty dedicated fans here in Buffalo. But the Bills games are just a great time, and thats why their my favorite.
What's your favorite movie quote?
ooh thats hard. I quote anchorman a lot. like ALOT. Stepbrothers is another movie. But a quote that really stuck with me was from recently, My boyfriend introduced me to Starwars and I really like the quote from Yoda " Do, or do not. There is no "try") It's a mantra I have always lived by but hearing it in a movie that I probably never would have watched made it pretty favorable.
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
I used to play fightnight a couple years ago and YES I beat a couple of the guys at it! I was good. I also love resident evil ( origional playstation) & tombraider. I shoot guns in real life so any games with guns and action is reason enough for me to play. But my all time favorite is super mario brothers for wiiu. I used to be really good but i took a year break from it, I came back and I am shameless. My boyfriend is already finished with all the boards, and I'm still on level 2 haha.
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
Ears, Belly button.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
What's your best party trick?
I usually just take mixing up & serving shots into my own hands. I used to bartend before I became a nurse so I'm pretty good at that & talking.
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
" you buying my drink too?"
What's the worst job you've ever had?
selling credit cards. EWE. My boss was a total pervert creep who would pull me aside to "lecture" me on how I could improve my sales.The whole thing was such a scam.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
hm.. I once went tubing in florida where there were alligators known to be in the water.
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
If I'm not already passed out because its 4am.. A big burrito & french fries.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
my deceased cat. JUSY KIDDING! - um.. jelloshots is all i can come up with. I guess those aren't something you can find in my fridge often..
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
why coitus of course. haha :D
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
Honestly. comfy sweats. I love classy pin-up girl fashion so thats my ideal style, but I'm really inlove with Victoria's Secret sweats, and when in comes to bed.. what clothes?
Tell us a joke.
okay because I'm a nurse I can laugh at this one! :) What do you call a nurse with dirty knees? The head Nurse!

A progressive scrap is a *slow* speed scrap!!! I love speed scraps and I'm equally fond of progressive scraps because there's no way to anticipate the next step so it's always interesting to see what kind of a fix we can get ourselves into and out of! Heaps of fun!! So here are the general rules to our *slow* speed... er I mean *Progressive Scrap*.
1. On the first day of the month I'll post Step 1. Then, I'll post the first of next weekly steps to the Progressive Scrap in a weeks' time, and so on until we've completed the layout
2. Add only the items listed in the step for that week, although you may add/alter shadows at any time.
3. As in card playing, *once it's laid, it's played*. If you posted your layout, you may not go back and change it. You may only build on the previous week's layout following the new step for the week and this makes things VERY interesting indeed!
4. The original and subsequent steps will be posted in this forum thread, as well as here in the first post.
5. Post your weekly layouts no later than midnight of the day before the next step is due - I'll post this date in the steps.
6. Post your layouts in the *Progressive Challenge* gallery.
7. Link your layout back to this forum thread so we can have a look at your artwork and leave some love!
8. Use of at least 50% GDS Designer products is encouraged and very much appreciated!
9. Please list all the GDS products you've used.
10. There will be a posting bonus for everyone that: a) posts a layout in the gallery for each step AND ALSO b) linking their layout back to this forum. (so you have to do both). I'll post the bonus in this thread when it's available.
11. YES this challenge counts towards the Scrap 7 Challenge!
To link your images back to the gallery .. have a look here
Also... here's on on how to assign keywords to your layouts to give the credit back to the GDS designer
Step One:
1. Only 4 steps this month. February... the month of Love! so.. here's what we do. You'll need 4 papers. Your background paper (paper 1) should be a deep dark rich colour. Next is a dark complementary paper (paper 2) that has be re-sized so that only a 1/4" of the background paper is showing. Next you'll want two lighter papers in two different patterns ie stripes and dots. We're going to make one paper out of these. Stack them on top of papers 1 & 2 and re-size them so there is 1/4" of paper 2 showing. Now cut the top one 2/3rd's of the way down and depending on what you want showing, either delete the top 2/3rds or the bottom 1/3rd so that the paper below it is showing. Clear as mud?
Post your layout by Saturday, February 9, 2013 The next step will be posted Sunday, February 10 2013
Step Two:
2. ok.. so now you want a photo.. about 4 x6 landscape... and you need to position this so that the bottom of the photo is just over the join between your two top patterns and near the middle of the layout. If you've got your *join* at the top of your page you'll have to reverse some of these instructions. Now you're going to find a shape and duplicate it, then use the shapes as hangers. ie: like putting a ring on your finger, you'll put one end of your photo through one shape, and do the same to the other side of you photo. Now you'll have to find a ribbon or chain or something to *hang* your photo holders to the top of your layout. FUN??? LOL
Post your layout by Sunday, February 17, 2013 The next step will be posted Monday, February 18 2013
Step Three:
3. Ok.. Ellie Time! First get a paper strip, either solid or patterned. give it a fancy edge and put it over the join between the upper and lower papers. Now create a cluster that runs from one side of your photo to the other in and around the paper strip you've just placed. Add a few more items from your cluster to the top parts of your ribbon/string hangers to tie it all in.
Post your layout by Sunday, February 24, 2013 The next step will be posted Monday, February 25 2013
Step Four:
4. Soooo you now need to add the PERFECT title, some journaling and don't forget to date your layout! :)
Post your layout by Sunday, February 28, 2013

The diners were mainly Chinese, however the staff were friendly and accomodating (when I asked for a customised version of a dish). It looks expensive, but if you eat as you would in China (buy a few dishes to share) then it works out less than £20 a head. Completely different to the 'sweety-sticky-samey' stuff you get in Chinatown.

Comments On Aug 05, 2014:This kill switch bolted up and worked just as good as OEM. You press it, and the motor stops.

Comments On Jan 08, 2014:Bike would run intermittently. Found out it was the kill button that was bad. I just happen to have one of these in a spare parts box. Plugged it in and bike now runs and shuts off perfect. Wires could have been 6 inches longer but what a deal. Fixed the bike for $10. That never happens.

Comments On Sep 19, 2013:Modded this to work with a 1981 Can-Am MX-6B (by modding I mean I cut the connector ends off the wires an spliced them onto the Can-Am wires). Works great and looks great on the old bike.

IN A RATIONAL world, November's election would have finally ended the left's hysteria over the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. From the howls of liberal outrage that greeted that 2010 ruling, anyone would have thought the court had condemned Democrats to electoral defeat as far as the eye could see.
Time magazine grimly predicted that American democracy would never be the same: "Now ExxonMobil or Walmart can simply go into the district of a member of Congress who is giving them a hard time and spend as much money as it wants to defeat him." President Obama pronounced Citizens United "more devastating to the public interest" than anything he could think of. If Democrats in Congress failed to overturn the ruling, Senator Charles Schumer warned, "we will have let the Supreme Court predetermine the outcome of next November's elections." Liberals compared the case to one ugly archetype after another: "Watergate." "Plessy v. Ferguson." "Dred Scott."

Keith L. recently set up a dinner of Rieslings and GVs from the Loibner Steinertal vineyard at Seasonal in NYC. One of the most memorable dinners I've been a part of, with the food absolutely incredible (and perhaps the best veal sweetbreads I've ever encountered) and a stellar lineup of wine with the majority of the bottles showing stunningly well. I'm convinced Alzinger Steinertal is one of the world's great wines, and for me benchmark dry Riesling.
2009 Alzinger Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
A wow from the first sip, and it only gets better with air, conveying pale fruit seasoned by fresh minty and herbal elements and a powerful stoniness beneath that builds with air. There's a sense of incredible freshness, purity and clarity to the flavours, remarkable depth of flavour and an incredible lightness of touch that's a huge contrast with the more heavy-handed Pichler.
2009 F.X. Pichler Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Incredibly ripe and powerful, a striking contrast with the Alzinger which is much more linear and precise. This is packed with dense, ripe peachy and tropical fruit with spicy accents and a stony minerality that builds with air; this feels rather heavy in contrast to the Alzinger but it's still very well balanced.
2008 F.X. Pichler Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Starts out with some sulfury funk, but it blows off with some air to reveal surprisingly lush, bright orchard fruit flavours accented with honeyed and spicy elements hinting at some botrytis. There's a textural creaminess and density here that sets it apart from most of the other Steinertals, but still really bright acidity beneath that keeps it very precise and fresh.
2007 Alzinger Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Comes across rather closed and reticent, offering little aromatically but it's much more expressive in the mouth with pure, pale complexioned fruit that seems to be sculpted from stone and ice. Becomes more accessible with air, but seems more about promise right now.
2007 F.X. Pichler Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
More giving and accessible than the '07 Alzinger; this is a powerhouse with layers of dense golden fruit, peppery spice and minerality that keeps developing and unravelling with air and showing more and more with time.
2006 Alzinger Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Remarkably fresh and light for an '06; there's a ton of material here with more concentration and power than other vintages, yet it conveys flavour with remarkable elegance and freshness.
2006 F.X. Pichler Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Darker in colour than the '06 Alzinger with a bright gold hue; powerful, spicy and packed with ripe golden orchard fruits yet remarkably streamlined and precise for the vintage.
2004 Alzinger Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
An amazing showing, and I'm annoyed I drank all my bottles last summer with zero willpower to hold any for later (must not - MUST NOT - make the same mistake with my 09s and 2010s). This is developing superbly, a confluence of green herbs, spice, mineral and fresh fruit in a seamless package with just the start of developing smoky flavours. Still young, but so, so good.
2001 Alzinger Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
This is remarkably mature for an '01 with the fruit quite developed and tinged by orange peel, butterscotchy and honeyed flavours. This doesn't have the same vivid minerality or the sense of clarity and freshness as most of the other Steinertals, certainly enjoyable but a little disappointing given expectations.
1999 F.X. Pichler Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Remarkably spicy in its flavour profile compared to the other Steinertals, this still has the same bright fruit and powerful stony minerality, but here it's framed by clove spice and a pungent pepperiness. There's a sense of overt power here and a real density to the fruit, although it comes across less precise and focused than some of the other wines. Still damn good.
1995 Alzinger Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Jawdroppingly awesome. I'm not even going to try and begin describing this (for descriptors, read Keith's comment, but holy shit, WOW.
1992 F.X. Pichler Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Starts out a little muddled initially with developed smoky and fusel notes on top of mature Riesling fruit, though the flavours seem a little blurred and tired. With time it really freshens up as the fruit brightens and gains depth, and that powerful Steinertal minerality emerges and the last few sips are quite spectacular, a cathedral of stone and fruit building in the mouth.
2007 M. Jagini Blaufränkisch Zagersdorf
Quick interlude for a red wine that Robert wanted to pull off the Seasonal list. Rich black cherry and berried fruit tinged with floral elements and gentle touches of oak; quite primary now but nicely balanced with a sense of polish and gloss to the flavours, fine grained tannins and bright acids beneath keeping it fresh and light on its feet. Yum.
2009 Alzinger Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
Surprisingly this comes across riper than the '06, showing a slightly overripe banana element amidst bright citrus and peachy fruit with a powerful peppery seasoning. This is a big wine, but remarkably well balanced with tremendous acidity that gives it razor sharp precision and focus, and while it's incredibly primary right now, I reckon this will be something pretty special with time.
2006 Alzinger Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Loibner Steinertal
This is a powerhouse. The fruit here isn't as ripe as in the '09, but it seems more packed with material - denser, juicier and thicker texturally, with layers of ripe Grüner fruit, verdant greenery and a pungent white pepper seasoning. There's incredible depth here but fantastic balance as well, and I'd love to revisit this after a few more years.
Hell of a night. Thanks all!

• Oxidized finish sterling silver and genuine white agate ring, bead-edged design
• Six pear-shaped agate cabochon petals accented with a sterling silver overlay in a detailed floral
• Measures 7/8" long x 7/8" wide with a tapered band for comfort
• Made in America with gemstones from around the world
A beautiful, bold floral design. Inspired by the genuine opulence of a gardenia, this stunning ring features petals of white agate centered with an overlay of sterling silver, accented with side blossoms and a beaded border that extends around the tapered shank of the ring.
Learn more about our jewelry
Petals of ivory white softly embrace the sun on a carefree summer day, their strong sweet fragrance filling the air. Sterling silver creates the flower's classic shape, providing a beautiful frame for a centerpiece of crisp white agate.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Diablo 3 free for annual WoW subscribers
World of Warcraft players are some of the most dedicated Blizzard fans out there. At BlizzCon today, the company announced plans on rewarding World of Warcraft subscribers with quite an enticing bonus: a free copy of Diablo III when it releases. (You will only get the regular edition, not the special edition pictured above.)
Of course, there are some strings attached. To be eligible for the bonus, you must get a new 12 month "annual pass," which costs $15 a month.
In addition to a free copy of Diablo 3, you'll also get guaranteed access to the next expansion pack beta, with the 12 month commitment. Finally, you'll get an exclusive mount, Tyrael's Charger, for use in WOW after patch 4.3 releases. Tyrael's Charger can be used as either a ground or flying mount.
Unfortunately, this promotion is for current World of Warcraft players only, and is not valid for any new subscribers. "New World of Warcraft accounts created after October 18, 2011 are not eligible to for this promotion," a Q&A further details.
Our own Xav DeMatos is at BlizzCon right now. Stay tuned to Shacknews for further breaking news and updates.

You may think this is standard New York City graffiti. But it's definitely not. These are part of a series called "Better Out than In" by the British street artist Banksy. They even come with audio commentary.
The works have been popping up all over the city and when they do throngs of Banksy groupies go on a fanatic hunt to find them.
The treasure hunt starts on Instagram, where Banksy posts a picture of a new piece with a vague location, such as "Red Hook."
That's where a red broken heart balloon made its debut Monday.
But it was quickly defaced by rival graffiti artist Omar. And then tagged again with a dig to Omar that some even think Banksy wrote himself.
But no one really knows because that's the thing about Banksy -- everything about him is shrouded in mystery, including his real identity.
While some of the works are being defaced, others have been removed altogether like Tuesday's installation in Greenpoint. Around noon Banksy Instagrammed a picture of a fake Plato quote on a blue background. A couple of hours later, discovery on Freeman Street on the door of an industrial building. But by 3 p.m. it was gone.
Instagram users hot on the Banksy trail posted pictures of workers taking down the door. Hashtag dolla-dolla bills.
After all some of Banksy's other street works have sold for more than a million bucks, even if some do think he's a bit too gimmicky.
Back in Red Hook the owners of the building with the red balloon decided to play it safe and put up Plexiglas to prevent any more graffiti on top of the graffiti.
Fans now waiting to see what tomorrow will bring, if it brings anything Banksy at all. Part of his game is that fans never know when it will end.

An optimum position on the bike is crucial in achieving the maximum level of rider comfort and pedaling efficiency.
Stem height is a crucial criterion when it comes to comfort as well as performance when riding both uphill and downhill.
A lower stem improves the stiffness when riding uphill. On the other hand, this lowered riding position requires that the rider has greater upper-body strength because he/she must invest more power to effectively maintain it. In addition, the low position on the bike reduces efficiency on the downhill because the shift in centre of gravity gives the rider the feeling he is going to be thrown over the handlebars.
A higher stem on the other hand guarantees greater comfort, superb control as well as a high level of ride safety on the downhill. On the other hand the front wheel loses traction more quickly when riding uphill and the bike rears up at the front.
It is necessary to find an acceptable compromise here. As a rule of thumb, to achieve a relatively comfortable riding position for riding uphill there should a distance of about the width of a hand between the top edge of the saddle and the handlebar grips.
TIP: The stem height has a crucial influence on the rider's overall position on the bike. Bikers with relatively long legs and short bodies need a higher stem than "giants" with long bodies and shorter legs.
How can the stem height be adjusted? Thanks to spacers, which are fitted to all Canyon bikes as standard, it is possible to make small adjustments to the height of the stem. If the spacers are fitted under the stem then the stem is positioned higher. Picture 1 If the spacers are fitted above the stem, as shown, then a lower rider position on the bike is achieved, thereby improving performance when riding uphill. Picture 2
Several Canyon models are delivered with so-called "Flip-Flop" stems. By simply turning the stem an adjustment of stem height can be achieved. The combination of spacer tuning and turning the stem allows the rider to adjust the cockpit height of a Canyon bike by several centimeters.
Most Canyon models are supplied with slightly or extremely curved handlebars. For ergonomic reasons these bars can be curved either towards the rear or upwards. Picture 3
Fine adjustments always depend on the preference of the rider; however the handlebar should be fitted according to the manufacturer's specifications. As a rule of thumb, if you look at the handlebar from behind the bike past the saddle then the bar ends should point upwards. If you look from above down onto the handlebar then the bar ends should be pointing to the rear of the bike. Picture 4
Bikes which are primarily designed for racing and competition use are fitted with flat handlebars and also with bar ends depending on the model. Fit these so that the bar ends are pointing to the rear of the bike. The ergonomically best position for the bar ends is when they are parallel to the stem.
Warning: The handlebar is fixed to the stem by four Allen bolts. Tighten all four bolts equally when fitting and ensure that every bolt is tightened to the correct torque. When tightening bolts, please use the Canyon Torque Wrench supplied. The markings on the handlebar show you exactly the right position of the handlebar.
Position the angle of the brake levers so that you don't jar your wrists when you have to apply the brakes when you're riding uphill. This stops you from having cramps in your wrists and saves valuable energy. Picture 5
Modern disc brakes are designed to be actuated by two or even just one finger. Optimum leverage and power transfer is achieved when the hand is positioned as far out as possible towards the end of the lever. Many riders make the mistake of positioning the lever much too far out towards the end of the handlebar, thereby reducing brake performance and modulation. Attempt to position your brake levers as far in towards the stem as possible so that your hand is on the extreme outside of the handlebar and your fingers grip the lever on the end as shown. Picture 6
Tip: Even when using brake levers that are designed to be actuated with two fingers, try to get used to braking with just one finger because if you have your other four fingers on the handlebar this can give you that edge in critical situations.
Adjust lever reach
Lever reach on the disc brakes can be individually tailored to meet your needs. On some models that works with a little Allen key bolt, which is located on the pivot of the lever. Picture 7 With some levers this is adjust via an adjusting bolt on the brake lever. Picture 8 Picture 9
Adjust the lever reach in such a way if you need to do an emergency stop there's still space for your hand otherwise your fingers can become trapped.
Brake contact point
It is possible to adjust the brake contact point on many types of brake.
Some Formula brakes also have a Feel Control System (FCS), with which you can adjust the brake pad clearance. Picture 10
You can also adjust the brake contact point (CR) on Avid brakes on the brake lever. Picture 11
WARNING Handlebar and stem are relevant parts for your safety.After adjusting the stem you need to re-adjust the headset. Refer to the manuals and the information here in the Tech Support Center. Ensure that all screws are tightened to the correct torque. The correct torque is indicated on the component itself, in the bike manual provided with your new bike, or here in the Technical Support Center.

Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease is a form of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and ulcers that may affect the deepest layers of the lining of the digestive tract. It can also cause abnormal openings or connections (fistulas) in the diseased intestine.
Crohn's disease is different from ulcerative colitis in that it can affect any part of the digestive tract. Symptoms of Crohn's disease include episodes of diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. People with Crohn's disease may sometimes need to be hospitalized for treatment of their symptoms.
Treatment depends on the severity of the attacks and the person's age. It may include medicines and, sometimes, surgery for serious cases.

This cart is an excellent cart for people who need a portable cart in a small kitchen or room. It is made of excellent quality and comes with easy to follow directions. However, the wood comes unsanded in preparation for your coat of butcher block oil and beeswax (recommended - esp. for the top, but should do the entire cart). It already has one coat on it from the factory, but another is required. I do wish it was slightly deeper, but it fits my needs. I had my cart professionally sanded and the oil/beeswax applied by a wood working company that baked it on and it's good for life except for the top surface which I need to treat as needed based on my use. Now all the employees and customers are buying this cart because they love it so much after seeing mine. It really is a space saver and you can fit a lot into it. Well worth the money.
I had a Catskill Craftsman kitchen island and bought this cart to match for my microwave. It has very solid construction, the wood is not pasteboard, and after oiling it with mineral oil it is a beautiful piece of furniture. I was able to put most of it together myself and only needed help holding some pieces together while I screwed the bolts on. It adds beauty and added storage space and is a great value for the money.
This product is solid wood and made in the US! I was pleasantly surprised to find such an excellent quality, real wood, made in the US, at a reasonable price. Assembly was very complex and I did have to call customer service for some help (so assemble it on a weekday between 9-5!). Customer service actually answered the phone and was very helpful. One of the doors doesn't stay as closed as I would like but it's still a great product.
very impressed with this product. saving for another Catskill product.
Love, love, love this island cart. Solid wood, beautiful when assembled. Wonderful butcher block top with backsplash. Just an overall gorgeous, useful product. Very, very pleased. Catskill products are the best!
It took a bit to get it put together but it is built pretty well.

No $30M Offer for Duke Nukem IP, Says 3D RealmsFollowing the sudden shut down of Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms last week, rumors began to circulate that the studio had opted to close instead of selling the overall Duke Nukem property to publishing partner Take-Two for some $30 million. telling Shacknews that the studio "would have taken this offer without hesitation" if it meant finishing DNF, indicating that the reality is "Not. Even. Close." to the rumors.
Responding to one reader that claimed they would have "sold the IP in a heart beat and created a new IP with that 30 million," Miller said "Hell, I would have also!"
Another rumor, this one claiming that Take-Two offered to sell 3D Realms the Duke Nukem Forever publishing rights for $30 million, has thus far gone unaddressed.
As it stands now, the fate of the notoriously long-in-development sequel Duke Nukem Forever is unclear. Take-Two, which paid Infogrames $12 million for the DNF publishing rights in 2000, has sued the remains of 3D Realms, claiming that it is owed "millions of dollars" as 3D Realms did not deliver the anticipated game.
However, 3D Realms "didn't get a penny of that [$12 million]," according to Miller. "This, along with so much else, is 100% spin, being eaten up by those who have no clue whatsoever."
As of June 2006, 3D Realms had self-funded "99.999% of the game (aside from a very, very small advance from GT Interactive, years ago, before Take 2 bought the game from them)," president George Broussard said at the time.
After 3D Realms shut down, Take-Two issued a statement that confirmed it had not been providing the studio with "ongoing funds for development of the title."
Take-Two and 3D Realms forged a second agreement regarding Duke Nukem Forever in 2007, claims the recent lawsuit, though details have yet to be made public and could very well be key to determining the outcome of the pending legal action.

This is cool.. a company called Analogue Interactive will be releasing an NES system that plays both Famicom and NES games, but it's unlike other systems that do the same. This one isn't an emulator based system, in fact, it uses actual hardware, just not sure if it's recreated or they found something else. The company does say no original Nintendo systems were harmed in the making of it.
You'll be able to play both Famicom and NES games in it (as stated earlier), it will also have four controller ports for your classic hardware. The Nt is capable of outputting signal using raw RGB, component, S-Video, or composite connectors (that means you can run this bad boy on modern TVs if you wish). The system itself will be made crafted from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum.
Pricing and availabilty will be released by the end of March.
This will look great in my collection!!!

I'm Christina.
I used to work in venture capital, and then I realized: as the internet seeps into everything, the future belongs to those who code — so I left investing to learn to build things on the internet. I'm now working on an online education project; if you're ambiently curious, I can send you updates.
A few projects
- Aces, ideas around using the internet to teach and learn programming
- Teach APCS, an open-source collection of material for AP Computer Science classes
- Why in Satoshi's name would you want a bitcoin?, because what're we supposed to do with this new technology?
- Hoot, an Android app, with Matt Spitz
- Join startups, because it's decently difficult to figure out which startups are hiring when you're not part of one
- Changeslogged, because I found logging Laisin's changes so helpful
- Laisin, the first thing-with-a-database! I built. (Subscribe! And I'll send you a book each month.) Here's its changelog
- Human-powered pelletizer, which (sorta) turned biomass into fuel for smallholder farmers
Some writing
- Learning Online, about building tools for online learning
- Building Android First, about, well, building an Android app before an iOS one
- Learning to Build, about quitting my job to code
- Notes on M-Pesa about the mobile money service that has higher penetration in Kenya than Facebook has in the US.
- Things that make me excited about technology
- What Comes Next, about a summer visiting tech-company accelerators
- Books recently read. (What should I read next?)
A little design
- An earlier iteration on The Product Sessions with Gary Chou
- Syllabus, assignments, students' take, and my write-up of the Entrepreneurial Design class Gary and I taught at SVA.
- "A new etiquette for the digital age" (English, Deutsch)

Chrissy, I'm so glad we helped your mood. You guys (Not y'all! ) have definitely helped me out, too.
I was definitely a geek in high school. No big shock, I still am! But I'm much more social and know how to approach people now.
Ashley, what word do Brits use for zucchini? I don't think I know that one. Too funny about it being an American TV show.
Chrissy, it isn't just Americans who are rude! I've had a lot of rudeness directed at me in England and France. Not everyone, but it happens enough you aren't surprised by it. Not in Mexico, though, for the most part people are really sweet there. Japan, too, very polite country.

A zucchini is a courgette here. I get so confused some times when I try to think which one I should say to whom.
People here can be right jerks, especially to foreigners. The country has a big population of xenophobes.
I'm going to take a nap now. The late night has caught up with me!

That is funny, I didn't know that veggies had some different words. The English spellings always get to me. A number of journals are British and they of course love the extra vowels and it makes a difference if I'm looking looking for a specific one.
I think that a lot of times it's big cities where people are rude. Like I spent 3 weeks in France when I was 16 as an exchange student and everyone I met was really quite nice and friendly. But when I go to say Chicago, I think that most people there are super rude.
Now I live in a medium town and even walking down the hall to work, everyone is like smiling at you and saying good morning or hello. and these are not people I know. The hospital is really quite big now and of course the shuttle drops me off on one side of campus and I work on the opposite side.
Chrissy I'm glad that your brother knows how to fix cars! I wish that I had someone like that in my family.
I couldn't imagine ignoring a little child. I was waving from the bus window at a little tyke in their carseat in the car next to us at a red light last week. She was so cute and waved...how could someone ignore that?
Conner loves to talk to people on his walks too. Thankfully, Owego is a friendly little town and by now most people know him and will chat him up. He has his favorites though. He decided long ago who he will and will not talk to and he hasn't changed his mind. He knows his grandma's mail lady's name is Tina. They talk every day he's there!
Aw, that's sad, Kate. Most people around here will say hi to you. You can always tell the ones who won't by how they divert their eyes away from you. We like to take the initiative and just say hey to anyone who crosses our path.
It's mostly cashiers who don't talk to us...Josh will be telling them some long story about the stuff we are buying, what we're going to make with it, etc. and they barely acknowledge it. They're the type of people who say "how are you" and when you say fine, you? they don't answer. That has always driven me crazy too.
While I was out school shopping with the girls, I picked up 3 dinosaur t-shirts for Conner. Two of them had toys attached but I didn't look closely at them. I knew he'd be happy just having more dino shirts. One of the toys was a little FM radio player with headphones. Boy, does he think he's awesomesauce now!! It's really too stinkin cute! The t-shirts were only $10 too, so I consider that a great score
Kate you have me mad at cashiers wher you live that won't say hi or acknowledge Josh!!! People used to do that to Ky when he was younger. He has always been super friendly and "hi" was his first word at 9 months he would just say "Hi" really loud and wave his little fat hand and when people didn't say hi back to him I would get really angry LOL!
When he was older it would hurt his feelings so I would just tell him, in a really loud voice, that some people are rude and don't like to respond when nice people greet them. Then I would cut them a mean look, most of the time they would say hi to him after that. I don't know why I would get so angry about it, but I just remembered it.
I am also happy your brother is around to help you out with your vehicle Chrissy. My brother is good at fixing cars as well and I miss having him around to help me with my cars. It is good you don't have to worry so much about your car since you can depend on him.
I have never heard of courgette in all my life! That is a cool name for a zuccini and I think I will begin to employ that in my regular conversation just to annoy people (i.e. my DH lol). I was thinking the Brits might call them all squash or something. It reminds me of a pomme de terre, a potatoe in French. I always thought it interesting that an apple is called a pomme in French and a potatoe a pomme de terre (apple of the earth). Apples and potatoes aren't all that similar to me so I wonder why they are called almost the same. But I guess whoever invented these words did them for a reason.
I get mad when people don't respond to babies. Something wrong with them for sure.
My whole state is on fire today, and wildfires are on all sides of my town. We need rain but the latest hurricane just sent gale force winds which are whipping up the grass fires into huge conflagrations. Pretty scary. One friend had to evacuate this afternoon, no word on whether his house will survive or not.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Scary Katy! I don't remember-where do you live?
Yeah...I try not to let it get to me when people won't say hi to Josh. Not everyone is a fan of small children or babies. It does make me sad for Josh though. We just try to pick the cashiers who like him. We show up at Target and the grocery store often enough for a few of them to know us A cashier who doesn't even work there anymore runs into us in random places sometimes and still remembers us. She calls me Kathy, but she used to do that even when she worked at the grocery store. LOL
That still really burns me up about the rude cashiers. Heck, there was a little 2-year-old waving and saying 'hi' to everyone walking by her in the mall today. I gave her a great big smile and waved and said hi back. How can you not?
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they feel like they'll get in trouble for talking to a baby they don't know. Josh is so outgoing he doesn't care who he talks to. He goes around telling everyone his name is "Joshua AND Josh". At the dentist the other day she was giving him stickers and he was practically crawling up into her lap. She said he was loveable
I'm in Texas. We are in Dallas this weekend, so I am worried about my cat burning up. Of course when we get back to town I will worry about the rest of us burning up.

I hope everything is okay with you and yours, Katy. We've had a very cool past two summers here, so they've been talking about how our fire seasons have been relatively mellow. It occurred to me that I haven't smelled wildfire smoke this summer at all yet. I've been around some really big fires in the past, and it's been awful and calamitous, but never felt on the edge of losing my life or my belongings. They are usually pretty good about having people evacuate on time - so just listen to them if they tell you to leave, okay?
It never bothers me if people don't say hi back to my kids. I don't take it personally, for one thing. Most of the time baby S. is kind of waving and babbling and I think the random stranger wouldn't necessarily be able to tell that he's saying hi most of the time. Also, kids aren't really great at making direct eye contact and they bounce around a lot in speech and action, so a "Hi" even in an older kid who pronounces it perfectly might be assumed to not be directed at the person he's talking to. I'm not used to strangers (even kids) randomly saying hi to me, although I'll err on the side of saying hi back. A lot of people will err on the other side. Finally, many people around here do not speak English as a first or even second language, and there are cultural differences as well, so when my kids say hi, they may be ignored for a variety of reasons. I will usually respond to them myself, and say "Oh, that was nice of you to say hi. That was very friendly." I don't say it sarcastically or passive-aggressively, either. I'm just saying it to give them a response to their conversational attempt. With the baby, obviously, I reply with a much shorter "Hi, baby!"
Finally, a lot of people do stop and talk to my kids, without prompting. Cashiers talk to them, and strangers in the stores. My children are not always great at talking back when strangers talk to them or ask them questions. I end up talking for them sometimes, myself. So I don't think they will think it's so strange that I end up talking for the unresponsive strangers when my children try to initiate conversations themselves.
Oh no Katy, thinking of you and hope those awful fires stay far away from you.
L, it did take some getting used to saying hi all the time and having people say it to me that I don't know. I just didn't grow up that way. In some ways my town is kind of old-fashioned like that. Still throws me for a loop when grocery shopping and they ask if I want drive up (since I usually do that alone and I usually have a big cartful). I only did it once though when it was pouring....they hold your cart for you and you drive up the door under the awning and help you load your car up. Of course they also bag for you.
Katy, I was just reading about the fires in Texas and hope you and your kitty are okay. We had some pretty scary fires near us a few years ago - the whole mountain north of town was on fire for weeks and you could see it from our house! Let us know you're okay.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
So far so good, bur we are in Dallas until tomorrow. I have had two friends so far evacuate and they don't know if their homes are okay, but it is mainly on the outskirts of town and hopefully will stay there.
I am so tired of Texas. Yesterday was the first day since June that it was under 100 degrees and instead of being able to enjoy the day, everything catchesnon fire.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Katy, keep us posted. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts!
So I read a book to my kids tonight. It's about a mom wishing things for her daughter- "I dream one day you'll dive into the deep, clear water of a lake" and "one day you'll feel a small weight on your back [with a picture of the little girl all grown up with a little girl of her own]" etc, and at the end the little girl is an old woman. Lorelai turns and says "the mom died." And that just opened the flood gates and both kids started BAWLING about how one day I'll die and they won't have anyone to play with. I tried every angle- you'll have a family of your own, I'll have lived a long full life, everyone dies... then I tried the This Is What Other People Believe angle. I explained reincarnation and Heaven. Nope. They weren't having any of it. It was sad at first and then they just kept crying and fueling each other by saying stuff like "Griffin, mommy will die and NEVER COME BACK!" and then Griffin was like "You're going to die TOMORROW!" and none of my stories were working and I admit it. I got annoyed. There's just no way to explain death to a distraught 3 and 5 year old.

She is 3.5 weeks old and has been home for 2 weeks. I haven't pumped in over a week and she has taken almost all of her feedings from the breast (except for a couple that Daddy gave her from my frozen stash). I am so proud of her! It took Mason a couple of months to figure out the breast after he came home, so I am just delighted that we are on track already!
Evie was 4 pounds, 6.4 ounces when released from the NICU, and was 5-4 on Friday. She has been crazy cluster feeding in the middle of the night for the past couple of days, so she must be going through a growth spurt. The pediatrician is thrilled with her growth and so am I!
Thanks for reading!

So I go to the store and buy a few pounds of Yukon Golds, making sure they're all about the same size. I take them home, cut each one in half, and put them in a pot full of cold water. I bring the water to a boil and wait a while. Then, when I go to check the potatoes, I find that most are nowhere near done, still being too firm to get through a ricer. Several, though, have completely fallen apart. The skins have come off with a little flesh on them while the inner parts have broken up and will be of little use.
Anyone know what's going on here? My wife thought that maybe the age of the potatoes was a factor but we really don't know.
