In reference to the recent change in Internet Protocol (IP) address for SurvivalBlog, I thought I'd describe a method to help people set up their computers to use it without DNS names.
How to add important internet addresses to your computer.
I'm using the new SurvivalBlog.com IPv4 address change as an example, I also recommend adding your mail server, and other important host names too.
Audience: I'll try and keep the techno-babble to a minimum, so that the largest audience possible can use this. Any Domain Name Server (DNS) experts or System Administrators out there will probably pull their hair out over the following technical generalizations, but giving instructions on setting up a DNS cache server, secondary out of country DNS servers, or your own DNS/NIS/YP server, would greatly restrict the number of people that can use this.
A little background:
Computers really don't use names like SurvivalBlog.com, they use something called an IPv4 address (this was simply called called an IP address before IPv6 came around). You don't see this function take place because a component called DNS has looked up the host name e.g. 'survivalblog.com' and converted it to an IP address for you. Think of it as the world's biggest telephone book. When you want to call a number you found in a telephone book, you type the number not the name of the company or person. Your brain does this conversion; it sees the name, and looks at the number. Computers use DNS to do this conversion for you. By adding host names and their IP addresses directly to a text file on your computer, you can bypass the need for a DNS for those specific lookups. So, if DNS goes down, your computer will still be able to look it up for you.
Why is having a local copy of the hostname to IP lookup important?
This is where things get a little fuzzy. Instead of a technical outline, I'll list what some possible issues would be, and whether or not this method would help.
• Congress or the FCC passes a law or institutes a rules change requiring some web sites be removed from US-owned DNS servers, and your favorite ones are on the list: YES
• Your local ISP has blocked your favorite web site: NO (in most cases) - these blocks are usually by means of IP address or by entire DNS domains.
•An 'anonymous' hackers has corrupted or manipulated the DNS servers that you use, directing your connections to their favorite web site: YES (some variations exist, but in almost all cases your local lookup is prioritized over DNS)
• A powerful geomagnetic storm hits, your protected computer is fine: NO (in most cases all infrastructure would be impacted, although the file would still work, the connection to the other servers would not)
• Hyperinflation hits, no one at your ISP shows up for work, systems start going offline, starting with your DNS server: YES, for a little while.
Setting it up:
Most personal computers, regardless of whether they use Windows, Apple or UNIX operating systems use essentially the same method for storing hostname to IP mappings on the computer. It's called a 'hosts' file on Apple and UNIX, and Windows XP. This is a text file where you enter the IP address and the hostname into. The file has to be in a text (ASCII) format, so you should use "Notepad" or "edit" on Windows, or "vi" or "Textedit" on UNIX/Apple.
Note that it is important to only add your new entries (or modify existing ones). Do not edit any line with: localhost, loghost, broadcasthost, or your computers hostname! And it is critical to keep in in a 'text' format. You should not use something like MS Word. (Exceptions? Yes, but making sure that you used MS Word correctly to save in ASCII format is beyond the scope of this simple how-to document.)
Opening the hosts file (varies, by platform):
Apple OS:
In the terminal window type:
sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts
[enter your login password]
[add the file changes described below]
Save the file. Type: Command - S
Finally, either restart your computer or go back to the Terminal window and enter:
dscacheutil -flushcache [this clears your DNS cache)
UNIX/Linux OS:
su -
[enter your root password]
nano /etc/hosts
[add the file changes described below]
Control - O (overwrites the old file)
Control - X (exits the nano text editor)
Windows XP OS:
Enter 'notepad'
In notepad open c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
[add the file changes described below]
Control - S
[Note: The hosts file has no extensions. It will automatically add a ".txt" file name extension to the end of the file, so you will need to click on 'No extensions'.
Updating the file (all platforms):
[The following file change example is for an Apple computer--note that some operating systems won't have localhost/broadcasthost/loghost items]
[NOTE: It is critical not to change loghost, broadcast, localhost or your hostname]
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost.
[NOTE: Scroll down to the bottom of your localhost list and ADD any new entries. Again, it is critical not to change loghost, broadcast, localhost or your hostname.]
# Add SurvivalBlog
126.96.36.199 survivalblog.com survivalblog.se survivalblog www.survivalblog.com www.survivalblog.se
Then Save the file, and you are done!
Now, if DNS goes down, or if it is hacked, or your favorite server is removed from it, then you can still do a lookup via the hostname.
I hope this helps. - Bob X.
JWR Adds: Before attempting this procedure for the first time, I would recommend first creating a backup of the hosts file, just in case it is deleted or corrupted due to fumble fingers.

Travel Restaurateur OTG honored for bringing an Oasis to the Airport, joining the likes of Apple, Google and Amazon in this Exclusive List
NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, OTG was named on Fast Company's prestigious annual list of the "World's 50 Most Innovative Companies," which is online and hits newsstands in their March 2014 issue. Recognized for bringing "an oasis to the airport," OTG joins major companies, such as Apple, Google and Amazon, as well as creative upstarts such as GoPro, Warby Parker and Box.

Through an innovative mix of dining, design and technology, OTG is providing travelers across North America with award-winning restaurants by acclaimed chefs, and the latest iPad technology; demonstrating that the airport experience can be elevated.

"It is both humbling and inspiring to be included.

With the success of strategic sourcing, companies are starting to apply another procurement practice to their meetings: key performance indicators.
Take Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc., Torrance, Calif. The company developed a strategic sourcing group within its meetings and events department in January and has been diligently tracking sourcing-related KPIs such as turnaround time for site searches and cost savings on F&B, room rental, reused space, and cancellation fees. Since the process has been in place, Toyota has consistently exceeded its targets by at least 50 percent, says Louann Cashill, CMP, CMM, meeting services manager for the company. "[Tracking these metrics] has really helped us to demonstrate the value that we provide to the company."
The process also allows Toyota to benchmark its success, which will be instrumental as Cashill and her team look to get management's buy-in for implementing the program companywide. Right now, use of her department, which handles only a quarter of the company's meetings, is not mandated. That is likely to change once Cashill and her team present the data they have collected. "We can see where we have gained the most savings," she says, "and then repeat that process."
Toyota currently tracks KPIs for all meetings and events with 10 or more people that go through its sourcing group, and that includes closely measuring external partners such as StarCite, which the company uses for sourcing. "We turn domestic site searches around in 72 business hours and international site searches around in 96 hours," says Cashill. "We really hold [StarCite] to that performance level because our internal clients hold us to that."
While Toyota is ahead of the curve when it comes to using KPIs to measure meeting sourcing internally, the U.K.-based meetings group at Pfizer tracks them externally. Pfizer uses StarCite to track all the activity done by its internal team as well as three preferred event-management providers that handle meeting logistics. The department has set performance targets for these preferred providers, and those targets are reviewed quarterly. "We've developed a KPI matrix that we measure vendor performance against," says Richard Parker, manager, global operations event management, for Pfizer's U.K. division.
The performance targets are based on cost savings, and providers are expected to achieve a set savings percentage each quarter. Bonuses are given for any savings beyond the minimum expectations, and financial penalties are assessed for providers that fall below the expected levels. "They are really incented at all times to negotiate the best rates on our behalf," says Parker.
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based spend-management solution provider Ariba uses its own technology to track internal meetings as well as customer-facing events. "We eat our own dog food," says Traci Oziemblowsky, CMM, CMP, senior manager of corporate events. "We adhere to our own best practices for sourcing and procurement." For trade shows, for example, Ariba tracks such KPIs as cost per attendee, number of booth visits, leads in the pipeline, and deals closed, as well as the dollar value associated with each.
Why this increased focus on tracking meetings-related metrics? It's being driven by a number of things, says Justin Falgione, senior category manager at Ariba. "Sarbanes-Oxley, cost-management pressures, and the advent of more data-management tools are all driving folks to seek greater visibility into their spend," he says.
What to Track
TOP MEETINGS-RELATED KPIs FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL (CUSTOMER-FACING) MEETINGS:
Cost per attendee/Lodging, airfare, and F&B as a percentage of total meeting costs
Average ticket price/Lowest fare obtained/Traveler satisfaction surveys/Contract compliance rates/Online booking adoption rates/Average base hotel room rate per night/Average agency transaction fees
Leads generated/Dollars in the pipeline/Deals closed

I just wanted to thank KnifeCenter and their employees of the quick and efficient service I have always received.I or my wife have ordered different items from you currently and in the past and never had any problems or issues.Everything is top notch from ordering,items in stock,s&h,and all in between.You have a customer for life.Even though I have over 200 silent weapons/tools I will still look your company up when needed.
-clint w
Thank for the excellent customer service you provide. Of all of the online retailers I shop with, you folks are the most professional. You website is very organized, easy to navigate and clear on what is in stock and what is not. When an order is placed, an immediate email confirmation notice is sent. By day's end, an order shipment notice is sent, including a link to UPS tracking. When I have returned a product, a return email notice is sent the same day the package arrives and a credit is placed back on my credit card within a few days. No other retailer I shop with executes all of this with the speed and accuracy that you do. With sincere appreciation and gratitude,
The service KnifeCenter.com provides leaves me speechless. The selection is massive; the employees are professional, helpful and well educated. Shipping is very expedient and the items are always packaged very nicely. If you have a problem you just call (I have never had to wait longer than a minute) no red tape, no brick walling just a one on one with a trained problem solver. I have ordered here 4+ times and have never been disappointed. Add Strider knives to your inventory and you have a hands down, life long customer.Thank you for your outstanding service and I hope you enjoyed the holidays!
I don't have the order #. I just wanted to say how pleased I am with your company and service. I found you guys by accident and I am glad I did. Thanks, again.
-Jeff G P
Simply outstanding service!! From the telephonic manipulation of my web order, to the next day receipt of the package! And correct in all aspects! Just great. This is why I continue to support and patronize you and anticipate doing so in the future ( to the detriment of my play money :)Again, thank you. It is just lovely to have such immediate gratification in an Internet shopping experience.
Dear Knifecenter (and Alexandra), I finally received my DPX HEST Folder today, and I almost cried...because I was so happy. So far, I have bought the following knives from your Company:1) DPX HEST Folder 2.02) Kershaw One Ton3) Kershaw Tremor4) KA-BAR TDI And I am pleased to say that all of these knives are fantastic! I always put a comment on all my orders asking that a QC check be performed on my blades, and I have to say that all the blades I get are sharp out of the box, perfectly centered, with no blade play. I always get great service from your Company, and your employees are very good at answering any of my follow up questions, and are very professional. Thank you again for providing such great service! I'll mention how fantastic your Company is when I make the Youtube unboxing videos for my knives this weekend =) Regards,
Hi Alexandra, One last mail from me!I want you to know that this second (kindof) shipment was a complet success! I've received it this monday (sunday for you) with all the items in perfect condition!It's awesome for me to get those kind of knives, specially the last one (Hoodlum). The waiting time was really ok for me, that last knife was out of order everywhere, I really wanted it, and you managed to get it right! It'll for sure be put in the harshest condition of use and it already proved to be awesome (even better than the Stell Eagle which I'll use on the heavy duty "stay there in this wonderful place, enjoy but manage yourself" camps). Awesome... just like you!Fell free to put this post in the review part (I don't have much time and knowledge of the Internet) and/or to pass it to your boss.It's really good to find some online sellers which make things happen the way you want. Thank you again,
Dear Alexandra, just want you to know your company is the most outstanding organization I have ever done business with. I'm a small time collector but I have ordered about 50 knives from the knifecenter and have never been disappointed. The service is wonderful. Thank you for your prompt response,
-Bill C
Glade to see you're supervising my order again.You made a good job by sending the first part of the shipment (the steel eagle), I received it in perfect condition and it revealed to be a perfect tool for bushcrafting! It's very hard to find people who send goods to New-Caledonia (we love the American spirit and quality here) and you've been the one who did it the best (faster, won the race! =) Thank you again for your understanding, reactivity and kindness, you'r awesome!
I recently purchased the Coldsteel Survival Shovel and Sheath. I want to tell you about my experience. It was excellent. This is not my first purchase from the KnifeCenter. The product was delayed in shipping because of a back order but I was informed of that fact and as soon as the product was in stock the order shipped and was in my hands in a few days. I have always had the same experience in my dealing with your company and look forward to future purchases. The product is in a word excellecnt. What a well constructed piece of equipment. I am very, very please with the Knife Center and with Cold steel. Thank you, Wayne A. G
-Wayne A. G
Just to inform that the order arrived today safe and sound.Thank you very much for your assistance. Your efforts to keep me informed and suggestions where appropriate left a good impression. As mentioned in an earlier message, it was surprising to learn that the best value for money offering was yours, even though I'm located in Europe and many of the items were made here.When I need to purchase items of similar nature in the future, there will be no hesitation to contact you again.Sincerely
-J. Roselip
Dear Sir/Ma'am:I just want to say how pleased I am with the delivery of my Lansky knife sharpener system. I have never shopped at The Knife Center before so I was a wee bit nervous about shopping at a new store.To say that I was pleasantly surprised is a major understatement!!! Not only did I get exactly what I ordered, but it arrived without damage & in the most timely manor!!Rest Assured, I WILL tell all my friends & family about The Knife Center & how fast I received my delivery.Thank you for everything you do. Definitely a top notch company & one that I will shop again.Sincerely,
-James J. R
After the balance of my third ever order from Knife Center was delivered today, I have to say I am very pleased with the service I received. Once my order was placed the other night, I realized the items would not arrive in time to give as a birthday present this weekend. I immediately sent an e-mail requesting a callback so I could see about expediting the shipment. Tom called me the next morning and we discussed the available options. He also told me one of the items I had ordered was out of stock. Being a FedEx employee, I wasn't comfortable with having my order being sent via UPS at a considerable cost to me and I requested it to be shipped via FedEx instead. Tom said that was not a standard procedure and he would have to get back to me to see if it was a possibility. Tom had an answer for me in less than 15 minutes and said he could honor my request, so I provided my personal FedEx account number and received my shipment the next day. To my surprise, I received the item that was out of stock the day after that and now I will not have to go to the birthday party this weekend empty-handed. This is probably not something the Knife Center would want to broadcast as a customer testimonial, but I realize no profit was made on shipping because the charges will be billed to me directly. What impresses me, in addition to the personal service I received, is the fact the Knife Center was willing to forego profiting from shipping charges in lieu of satisfying the customer. Not many online retailers are willing to do that. Tom was outstanding in his professionalism, timeliness and follow up. Overall, it was a great customer experience and I'll be a customer for life. A sincere thank you..
Thank you guys so much! Pleasure doing business with you guys! (and gals) You need to give Ally a raise! She is such an asset to your company! Always right on top of things! And the gentleman who processed this particular order was also extremely pleasant and professional! You can count on my continued biz and just an fyi, i ve referred a few friends to you that have ordered and are also very pleased with you guys! I also give you guys quite a few plugs on bladeforum! Thanks again! You guys rock!!Cordially,
-Adam P
I just have to say thank you to Knife Center for your commitment
toward customer service. Please pass this message on to the team.
We've ordered a few knives over the last couple years through
Knifecenter and have never been disappointed. One order was even
goofed up a little (wrong color); the issue was handled with speed and
grace. (Plus it gave me an idea for a new color to order in the
When I'm talking my clients through what it takes to have great online
service, I hold Knifecenter up as an example worthy of emulation. A
lot of folks think that if they build a new website or an online store
it'll just run itself. Pure delusion. It takes real people and a true
commitment to serving your clients. You guys would have that whether
you were working out of an online store or the Goodyear blimp.
Thank you for your great service! Made my father's day and I'm sure a
few other dads as well.
These and other like comments really make the cutlery business on the web a very worthwhile pursuit. Thanks to all!

They are all around great. They are snug, pull moisture away well, and keep my feet warm at night while I'm in the bag.
Ok Sock....

I've used these sock on number of rides and they do the job a $7 pair of socks would do. I bought these on sale for $9.00. Fox is starting to price themselves out of the market.
Great sock!

I've only used Pearl Izumi and Endura socks in the past and while they are both quality products, these socks are top quality. I wore them on a 45-50 degree, morning ride in the mountains in Central Washington and never got cold feet, yet I never got sweaty feet either. After 2.5 hours of riding I had no hot-spots or rubbing of any sort. I really like the length, and don't think they're short at all. It's the perfect mid-point between those low-cut, ankle socks and the roadie-looking over the calf socks that seem to have gained in popularity in recent years. They're a bit pricey, but you do pay for what you get.
Nice socks

These are great. Very comfortable and durable! I wish they came a little higher on my leg, but other than that, no complaints!

A battle over abortion rights may be brewing in the state Capitol as Governor Andrew Cuomo gears up to push his women's equality agenda. NY1's Zack Fink filed the following report.
Advocates for women's rights held a press conference in Albany on Tuesday to support Governor Andrew Cuomo's 10-point equality agenda. It is hard to know how far the Cuomo's proposal will go in expanding abortion rights, because his office has not made the bill public.
"We are hoping that the governor will send us his legislation as quickly as possible, so we can begin the business of looking at it, vetting it, making sure there are no mistakes, because sometimes there are mistakes with legislation," said state Senator Diane Savino of Staten Island.
An unscripted moment at the press conference underscored just how contentious the debate may be in Albany this year.
A pro-choice supporter told an opponent of the bill, "You do realize the Reproductive Health Act is not expanding abortions or changing any if that."
The anti-abortion activist answered, "That's actually not true. It's not true. If you look at the Reproductive Health Act, it would allow non-doctors to perform surgical abortions. That expands abortion."
In a radio interview for WCNY-AM, the governor made some of his strongest comments to date in favor of his equality act, saying lawmakers either support abortion rights or they don't.
"I think many of the legislators want to have it both ways. They want to be apparently pro-choice but they don't want to take a vote that's going to call into question because they want to be pro-choice but they don't want to be on the other side of the Conservative party," Cuomo said.
Supporters want to see the Reproductive Health Act as one single bill grouped in with other aspects of the equality agenda, which includes pay equity among other issues.
Opponents want the abortion component taken out. "I think there is a lot of room with the other nine issues, nine that we can effectively negotiate and come to a resolution before the end of the legislative session," said state Senate Conference Leader Dean Skelos.
Some say whether the bill is allowed to come to the senate floor will be a big test for state Senator Jeff Klein, an Independent Democrat who controls the senate agenda with Republicans.
"We'll also see how that coalition in the senate winds up functioning. I think there will be a lot of clarity on major issues for the state," Cuomo said in his radio interview. Cuomo has said he does not plan on releasing bill language until there is agreement. But when the issue of abortion comes into the public debate, the absolutes on both sides rarely find common ground.

"Impact Earth!"
Impact Earth! is a planetarium show that teaches about meteors, meteorites, asteroids, and comets. It includes results from recent NASA missions and about the dangers they can pose to life on Earth. It shows dramatically the effects of the Chixulub and Tungusta events, plus the Pallasite impact that resulted in the Brenham meteorite fall, and describes ways that asteroid hunters seek new objects in the solar system, and how ground penetrating radar is used to find meteorites that have survived to the Earth's surface. Narrated by astronaut Tom Jones, it also discusses ways that humans might try to deflect an asteroid or comet that is on a collision course with Earth.
Millions of asteroids and comets lurk among the planets -- left over bits and pieces from the solar system's formation four and a half billion years ago. Because of them, we live in a dangerous cosmic shooting gallery and impacts still shape the surfaces of the planets and moons. For instance, without warning on Feb. 15, 2013, an asteroid fragment struck Siberia and exploded over a populated area close to the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. Dozens of building- and car-mounted video cameras captured the meteor's descent and the shadows it cast, making it the most documented meteor event in history. There were no deaths, but about 1,500 injuries occurred, mostly cuts from glass that broke due to the force of the shock wave produced when the meteor broke up in the atmosphere. Sound waves from this explosion circled the Earth several times.
This show was created under NASA Cooperative Agreement NCC5-316 to Rice University in conjunction with the Houston Museum of Natural Science as part of the "Immersive Earth" project, part of the REASoN program.

Tue-Sat 10am-8pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Belltown
Relaxing Beautiful Spa – Hi I am a Nail tech who has worked many years in the Seattle area at both upscale and semi-"quickie"spas, This place is Definately a place worth checking out for the fun neighborhood and Knowledgable staff the Owner even offers frequent deals and special packages :-)
A Gem in the Heart of a Seattle – Over the last week I have had the pleasure to visit Seattle.The food, people, and culture are amazing but best of all is Spa Noir. I received both a facial and winter pick me up dry scrub and massage. All of the ladies at the spa are warm, friendly, and professional. To boot the ambience is very inviting. If you want to treat yourself for the New Year or just need a pick me up visit Spa Noir.
best massage and facial in seattle! – I tried Spa Noir for the first time because of the last Last Minute special-$20 off when you book the day of- and had the best massage of my life with Christina! She did a combo of deep tissue and LomiLomi which FINALLY gave my lower back some relief!! Next a facial with the owner. She was very thorough in the cleansing, exfoliating, and extraction part which I needed badly, but imagine my surprise when her massage was heavenly! Beautiful space with a very personable staff including a darling front desk Pomeranian-the first non yipper I have ever met!
beautifu!l unique! friendly! – Spa Noir is the best spa in Seattle hands down!
I have had facials, massage, pedicures, and tinting and all surpassed my expectations! It is a great thing to be able to receive excellent treatment with great customer service in a beautiful spa!
Great Results; Ask for Jessica! – I've been coming here regularly every month since I moved to Seattle, almost two years ago and felt I finally needed to share. I look forward to my visit every month. My eyebrows are always perfect because of Jessica and if I splurge to get my nails done, they are always beautifully done. Not much else is needed to say; I love the people who work there, the atmosphere and the end results. Why wouldn't you choose this place? PS: You too will fall in love with King when you meet him! I play with him everytime I'm there!
You would never know it from the outside... – This spa is like nothing else in the city! You can hardly tell from the outside but when you walk through the doors and smell the delicious eminence products and the aromatic candles you feel right at home. They play great music and offer wonderful services with reasonable prices and the spa is dark and luxurious, no fake "spa girls", just real live down to earth passionate women who love helping all of us feel wonderful
The massages and facials are to die for! Go spend a weekend with these girls, you will not regret it!
Amazing Service..Must go – I highly recommend this place. Amazing atmosphere. Jessica and the other ladies and ofcourse King (cute dog) are wonderful! The new place is quiet and decent. The services are excellent. The before and after effect is noticable and trust me... in a good way! I do not have breakouts as often as i used to and the skin texture has improved significantly. The only time i feel sad is when the aesthetician says "We are done and its time for you to go home" :). You will definitely ask for more and will surely come back. You feel completely relaxed and calm after you get a massage or a facial. I will definitely suggest to go for a facial by Jessica and massage by Collin.
Get a Facial at Spa Noir! – I have had two great facials at Spa Noir...one with CJ and one with Jessica. Both were very attentive, engaging and knowledgable. I like the low key, relaxing atmosphere -- different from the larger, louder and more corporate feeling spas. Would highly recommend getting a facial at Spa Noir.
Kelleen was great! – I had a massage by Kelleen and she was sensitive and really relaxing. She made me feel right at ease...Recommended!
Fantabulous! – Well to be honest I first have to say that I have never had a facial before this one...but through a stroke of good fortune I got to spend an hour with Cj of Spa Noir. The experience was totally one of the best hours of my life. Cj is very professional, magical, and makes you feel like a movie star. My skin looked great and I was just as relaxed as if I had a full body massage. I look forward to my next hour with Cj and would urge anyone who desires to be pampered to spend some time with her. As for the acutal spa, the atmosphere was trendy, dark and tranquil with an eclectic mix of music.

- What is the purpose of the National Geographic Bee?
- Who can participate in the National Geographic Bee?
- How do schools register for the Bee?
- How can my child be registered for the Bee?
- What if there are not six eligible students in the school or homeschool association?
- What materials are included in the school contest packet, and when is it received?
- How can students prepare for participation in the National Geographic Bee?
- What is the format of the Bee competition?
The National Geographic Bee, an educational program of the National Geographic Society, is a nationwide geography competition for U.S. schools with any grades four through eight, designed to encourage the teaching and study of geography.
Bee registration is open to schools and homeschool associations with students in grades four through eight who have not reached their 15th birthday on or before September 1, 2013. A student must be enrolled in a school or homeschool association that is registered with the Bee. Also, students of the eligible grade levels must be following a school schedule and academic course load comparable to the majority of the student's grade-mates and age-mates. A student may not be enrolled in more than three academic courses at the high school and/or college level during each school year of the competition. A student is eligible to participate in the Bee for a period of five years only. We reserve the right to disqualify a student if we believe the rules have not been followed.
Schools from all 50 U.S. states, the U.S. territories, and the U.S. Department of Defense schools participate in the National Geographic Bee. Students enrolled in public or private schools may not compete as part of a homeschool association's Bee and, conversely, students who are homeschooled must participate through a registered homeschool association.
In early September, principals may write a letter on school letterhead and enclose the registration fee of U.S. $100 requesting that their school receive the contest materials. Heads of homeschool associations (made up of support groups) may register to conduct a Bee for support groups in their area or county, in the same way. If there is no homeschool association in the area, we may allow an official support group to register and conduct a Bee for all interested homeschoolers in the county or area. The group is then registered with the Bee using the county name. Keep in mind that there is a minimum participation requirement of six students from the eligible grade levels in the school-level contest. Students, their parents and relatives must not have obtained, have had in their possession at any time, or have seen the contest materials. Please make sure that the contest materials are not mailed to a relative of a participating student. We reserve the right to disqualify a student if these rules have not been followed.
Mail the letter and registration fee of $100 (check or money order made payable to the National Geographic Society) to:
National Geographic Bee
1145 17th Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20036
Faxed registrations are not accepted. Registration ends October 15 most years. You may call the Beeline phone number—+1 202 828 6659—after October 15 to see if any deadline extensions have been granted. Listen carefully to the message.
Once registration is closed, it is closed to all. NO EXCEPTIONS! We cannot be responsible for late, lost, or misdirected mail. So please make sure your information is complete, on time, and sent to the correct address (see above).
Once a school registration is received, there are no refunds. Schools may produce only one school winner, so make sure the school principal registers only once. If a school registers twice and receives two packets, no refund will be given.
Individual students, individual homeschooling families, and support groups may not register for the National Geographic Bee. Students must be enrolled in a school or homeschool association that is registered with the Bee, and they participate through the contest held by their school or homeschool association. If there is not a homeschool association in an area, we may allow an official support group to register and conduct a homeschooling Bee for homeschoolers in the county or larger area. Contact the Bee office at +1 202 828 6659. Contact your school principal or homeschool association and encourage them to register. Only school or homeschool association administrators may register their schools. Also, to hold a competition, there is a minimum participation requirement of six students (in eligible grades), and students must be present to compete.
We are sorry but that is the minimum requirement for the school-level competition.
Schools with proper registrations received by October 15 will be sent the contest materials packet in mid-November.
The packet contains everything a school needs to participate in the competition including an instruction booklet with suggested procedures, question booklet, a medal to present to the one school winner, and the qualifying test that must be administered to the school winner. (This test determines the top scoring one hundred students in each state who are invited to compete at the state-level competition. Individual scores are not released. Notification of qualification is sent by the second week of March to the teacher who signed the certification statement on the qualifying test answer sheet.)
If the registration deadline is extended past October 15, schools that register later will be sent their contest materials within three weeks of our having received the registration. A school should notify us at +1 202 828 6659 if it has registered and has not received the contest materials by the times mentioned above. The deadline for receipt of the school Bee winner's qualifying test remains the same.
See the Study Corner area of this site.
Registered schools hold their school-level contest following the eligibility rules and may use the suggested procedures contained in the school-level instruction booklet. The school is responsible for their school-level Bee. Each participating school produces one school winner.
A teacher administers the written qualifying test (included in the packet) to the one school winner. Only the answer sheet is returned to the National Geographic Society either in the envelope provided or in your own envelope to:
National Geographic Bee
1145 17th Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20036
Tests received after the specified deadline will not be graded.
In early March the teacher who signed the qualifying test is notified by mail if the school Bee winner qualified to represent his or her school at the state level. The top 100 students (selected based on qualifying test scores) qualify to represent their schools and compete at the state level. Scores are not released, only notification as to whether the student qualified or did not qualify for the state competition. The notification includes information on where the qualified student is to report, the date, time, etc. This information is not given over the telephone.
State qualifiers compete in an oral competition at the state level, which is usually held in late March or early April. To compete, invited qualified students must be present at the state Bee on the assigned day and at the assigned time.
State winners are invited to National Geographic headquarters in late May to compete in the national finals for scholarships in the amount of U.S. $50,000, $15,000 and $10,000.

- Faux leather skinny belt, side slits
- Worn slipped over head
- Measures approximately 58" from center back top edge to bottom hem.
- 100% Polyester

Gorgeous dress This dress is very chic. I bought it in the black and beige color. The tie in the back of the neck can be well adjusted to conceal your bra. The belt cinches the waist. The length elongates the silhouette. It is a bit long, but nothing a high heel/ platform shoe cannot fix. October 29, 2013
Great Dress! Dark Belt. I love this dress! The colors are amazing. There was, however, one problem. The belt that came with the dress was too dark. So, I went to a fabric store and purchased a piece of green fabric that matches the dress. I had a belt made. Now, the dress is perfect! July 13, 2013

Penguin Playoffs Return
Properly, Penguin Playoffs should be held in Antarctica with real penguins, but we figure there isn't much box office in that, especially since these well-dressed birds are milled so precisely to form that telling winners from losers is impossible unless some are dead. In that case, the whole deal isn't much fun.
So we hold our Penguin Playoffs in Las Vegas, where the climate hasn't been hospitable to coldwater birds since the mid-Pleistocene. Not that this matters, since only penguins in the shape of Linux products are eligible to participate.
Actually, they already held the competitive part of the playoffs, and this year's winners have been selected. The playoff event will be an award ceremony and dinner during Linux Business Expo, which coincides with the November Comdex show.
To recap last year's inaugural playoff, Linus was there to hand out the awards, which coincided with Linux Journal's Editors' Choice awards (seemed like a good idea to honor two birds with one event). The winners were:
Best Web Solution: TurboCluster Server from TurboLinux
Best Hardware Solution: The Happy Hacking Keyboard
Best Office Solution: Appgen Business and Accounting Applications
Best Overall Solution: Global Media Corporation
This year we've doubled the number of categories, more or less keeping pace with the increasing diversity of Linux solutions now competing in the penguin businessphere. Here they are:
Best Web Solution
Best E-Commerce Solution
Best New Product Announced at the Show
Best Server
Best Workstation
Best Business Application Development Tool
Best Embedded Solution
The awards event will be held at Gameworks on the strip again this year. Be sure to check our web site, http://www.linuxjournal.com/, for further details about day and time. Again, we will be giving out our Editor's Choice awards during the same event. There will be a Linux Journal party after the ceremony. Stop by the Linux Journal booth to find out when and where that will be.
We look forward to seeing you there.

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.

HBO is currently home to some of the best shows on television: "Game of Thrones" (which I don't watch but am including in this list purely because of how many people love it), "Veep" and "Girls." While I don't know if I'd include "The Newsroom" as one of the best shows on television, it's definitely worth a watch and I'm anticipating the start of season two, which begins July 14.
Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) is a nightly news anchor at the fictional Atlantis Cable News network, which is meant to be a companion to CNN or Fox News. For years, McAvoy has been complacent - not wanting to cause a stir or upset anybody. But after giving a rousing and, to some, disturbing answer to the question "What makes America the greatest country in the world," McAvoy is quickly thrown into the spotlight and is forced to shrug off the shackles of complacency and actually stand for what he believes in - all while trying to work with his new executive producer who also happens to be his former girlfriend.
"The Newsroom" is undeniably Sorkin. It's fast paced, there are plenty of walk-and-talks and it strives for an idealism that is laughably unrealistic, but that's where part of the charm of the show comes from. It's also easy for Sorkin to give us these moments of heightened journalistic integrity when the show is airing episodes about events that happened months before. For example, an episode deals with the shooting of Arizona U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords. Sorkin takes to task networks that prematurely and falsely declared her dead. Because of hindsight, Sorkin gives ACN the power to wait until Giffords has officially been declared alive. I agree that facts and not hearsay should be the determining factors in how a story is reported, but Sorkin comes off as a little preachy in this episode. And because of who "The Newsroom's" audience is, he's preaching to the choir. It's absolutely an ideal to strive for, though. It's time that the most important thing is being right, not first. Everyone in the ACN newsroom also has a connection that can help them get the story, whether it be a classmate of Casey Anthony or a relative involved with the BP oil spill. Unfortunately, in the real world, journalists do not have a wide array of exclusive sources that can help them break the story.
It's pleasing to see that Michigan-native Jeff Daniels has found new fame with this role, which he is outstanding in. Every time I see Daniels in a new role, he always reminds me just how good of an actor he is. His performance and others help elevate "The Newsroom" into more than just Sorkin pretending to be Frank Capra in his idealism.
Is it a groundbreaking show? Not at all. But it's entertaining and that alone will keep me viewing.

Sittard, The Netherlands, 19 December 2012 – InterWave Studios announces the release of Nuclear Dawn Patch 6.9.
This long-awaited patch for the award-winning FPS-RTS hybrid Nuclear Dawn features a major update to gameplay, with the implementation of the Player Levelling Systems.
As of Patch 6.9, players will be able to gain levels, and unlock an upgrade of their choosing with each level reached. Not only will they be able to increase their health and weapon damage, but also to unlock features such as access to Siege Classes, which were previously only unlockable by the Commander.
Further enhancements brought by 6.9 include game controller support for both game and in-game menus, positional audio for Mumble clients, and a reworked, extended server browser that implements much of the community's feedback.
There is of course more, including bug fixes and community mod support. For a full list of changes in 6.9, head over …
The most important facet of Nuclear Dawn's tactical combat experience is the way player classes interact with each other. No class has been designed to rule over the others, and each comes with a set of strengths and weaknesses that distinguish between various combat and support roles.
As Nuclear Dawn classes go, the Assault may at first appear to be the least interesting of all. Assaults can't cloak to turn invisible, they are not covered in inch-thick robotized armour, and they definitely don't come with their own Easter grenade hamper – so why choose to play one?
Versatility would be the first reason. Assaults, in their various kit configurations, are the only class that can efficiently engage an enemy at just about every range, from long to close quarters, and stand a chance of surviving.
Team coordination would be another. The Camaraderie bonus applies to Assaults only, and increases weapons …
SITTARD, THE NETHERLANDS– November 9th, 2012– InterWave Studios announces the release of Nuclear Dawn patch 6.8, which brings a new game mode, Steam Workshop support, and several improvements, all at a reduced price of 9.99USD.
As well as fixing several exploits and updating the localizations, we introduce Skirmish, a Team Deathmatch game mode for players itching to sample Nuclear Dawn's class-based tactical combat without the intricacies of RTS gameplay.
Two teams, four classes and a whole lot of weapons and ammo should make for some interesting, brutal and visceral matches. Skirmish stars its own release map, sk_metro, based on the homonymous Warfare location, tweaked for even closer combat.
It's not all war and destruction, however, and Patch 6.8 also includes full Steam Workshop support for the distribution of custom, community-made maps and content. Now is the time to finish up those maps to share with the world!
It would have …
A new update is now available on Steam for Nuclear Dawn. This update brings Skirmish mode to Nuclear Dawn which basically is Team Deathmatch. In this gameplay mode there will be no commander, no rts elements and no resources or capture points available. Down below the full changelog:
Nuclear Dawn 6.8
- Added new Skirmish team deathmatch game mode.
- Added new Skirmish map sk_metro.
- Added nd_skirmish_limit convar for Skirmish team kill limit. 0 to disable and use only mp_roundtime.
- Added support to execute a cfg/gamemode_skirmish.cfg or cfg/gamemode_warfare.cfg at map start if existing.
- Added support to execute cfg/
.cfg at map start if existing after mode cfg.
- Skirmish mode uses same mp_timelimit, mp_winlimit, mp_maxrounds, and mp_roundtime variables as Warfare.
Other fixes
- Fixed spawning-related glitches that could occur if pressing spawn button multiple times.
- Fixed issues where server tags displayed improperly in server browser …
Nuclear Dawn just got another update on Steam. This version brings Steam Workshop support for custom maps and lots more. Checkout the full changelog below:
- Added support for Steam Workshop for maps.
- Added average player rank to server browser and Play Now calculation.
- Sprays and kit/gizmo preferences now sync with Steam Cloud.
- Improved alt-tab handling under Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Other fixes
- Fixed occasional 'stuck' bug after spawning.
- Fixed ammo counter on daisy cutter for CT Assault & Support and Empire Support.
- Fixed ammo counter on CT Stealth.
- Fixed an issue where chat would not show to commanders until they clicked the chat box.
- Fixed crash on game launch if squad talk key is pressed during start.
- Fixed glitch where research-restricted kit could show as selected even if unusable.
- Fixed squad chat not working if mega menu …
We have just updated Nuclear Dawn to version 6.6.
This version is mostly a bug fix and tweak update that changes the following:
Gameplay and Balance
- Slightly lowered NX300 damage output against players.
- Slightly raised Sonic Turrent damage output to balance with Flame Turret's extra fire damage.
- Lowered Machine Gun Turret cost to 2500.
- Commanders now get points for a critical assist if player-initiated artillery strike kills an enemy.
- Empire commander ability poison is now differently colored to distinguish between it and Consortium's.
- Commander poison ability now matches description and no longer hurts teammates unless friendly fire is enabled.
- Fixed NX300 not hurting teammates with friendly fire enabled.
- Updated Report a Bug link.
- Added invert mouse wheel zoom option to Options panel.
- Fixed bad password connect error box using lan server error text after a recent update.
- Fixed …
A year ago today, we were manically refreshing our web browsers, trying to catch the first glimpse of Nuclear Dawn on the Steam store. It was release day, and many of us were slightly swaying on our feet, exhausted from a gruelling last minute development crunch.
Today, Nuclear Dawn is a year old, and looking back on those earlier development builds is a little like watching early toddler pictures of your child. Except that our baby comes with murderous classes armed to the teeth with weapons of mass annihilation. And turrets. And things that go boom.
A strong community gathered around Nuclear Dawn, and would not let it sink when it could have. You guys have been great, and took our love for Nuclear Dawn and made it your own, and are now as much a part of the game as the code and levels itself.
Our journey slowed …

Enjoyed the edutainment!
I am a teacher of chemistry to non-science students.
I am always researching video clips that will visualize a chemical concept in day to day life.
I love ACS webinars.
I will show this clip to my students.
This webinar was informative and surprising and enjoyable. But- I'm totally confused about the disgorging of the frozen yeast plug and how this might have been done before liquid nitrogen. Was the bottle neck frozen in snow? Ice and salt solution? There must have been a clever way to do this. And once the bottle is right side up, how is the yeast plug removed? Is there enough pressure so it just pops out?
I am the retired professor of physical chemistry aged 78 living in Tokyo. I enjoyed the remarkable lecture well organized which covers the variety of fields each explains the valuable informations of corresponding scientific knowledge, hitherto have been explored in a very concise way. Its just wonderful and very much enjoyable "joy of science". I would like to introduce this lecture at any particular occasions to my friends as well as to students. I am very impressed that you introduced "umami" as of Chinese food. The "umami" is a Japanese word meaing good taste. Professor Kikunae Ikeda is a Japanese chemist who has extracted it from sea-weed and determined its chemical structure. Good taste of tomato is said to depend on the content of sodium glutamate. World consumption of sodium glutamate is the biggest in China though. Thank you again for your charming lecture.

Musicians and students from all across the South traveled to Berry College recently to be a part of the 2013 Trumpet Festival of the Southeast.
The festival's activities ranged from concerts and ensembles to exhibits by major trumpet manufacturers. With more than 200 attendants and 20 colleges represented, the festival is one of the largest regional events of its kind. This was the first time that the festival has been hosted at a smaller campus like Berry and Assistant Professor of Music Adam Hayes said he was excited for the opportunity to host the event.
"The festival is a celebration of ideas, the Southeast, great trumpet playing and our trumpet geekiness. We really wanted to show off the beauty of the campus as well because it is unmatched," Hayes said. "The response has been overwhelmingly positive."
The festival featured jazz trumpet legend Ingrid Jensen and University of Maryland Professor of Trumpet Chris Gekker who performed throughout the three-day event. The 2014 Trumpet Festival of the Southeast will be held at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

SnowWize is an enhancement to XSight's FODetect®. SnowWize is an automated snow measurement solution, which remotely and accurately measures snow levels across the runway in real time. SnowWize alerts the user when levels exceed pre-defined thresholds and provides a live view and clear visualization of snow on the runway, facilitating a more focused and efficient winter operations effort.
