Diamond distributed them in Canada without bilingual packaging so that's an indicator of some fudginess. Legally, almost all products must be labelled in both languages up here.

I thought I had linked it from this thread, is that not true? Yeah, ok, I see it, post #4. So it's your fault for missing it, BB.
It's pretty lame of them to claim they have a license they can't use in their home market.
I think regarding the labeling, they don't have to have French labeling if they don't distribute them in Quebec, that's what the deal was about 10 years ago or so when Hasbro SW products were showing up in Canada on American cards.
That's pretty wild, how did you get the parts to cling together?Yep, I even made my own Titanium TYE-Wing, actually. There are a few more uglies I'd like to do: some are cool... and not so ugly.
Games take liberties. Goldeneye 64 is more interesting than the movie.In the Rogue Agent game, Goldfinger was SPECTRE but you're right about "Red China" in the film. Thought there was a throw-away line about SPECTRE in the movie but I'm totally mistaken, apparently. My bad.
In the book, Goldfinger was gonna actually steal the gold from Fort Knox, IIRC.
STEAL THE GOLD?!? How lazy of a storyline is that? "Well, we caught Goldfinger and his crew taking gold bars out of the vault about 3 days after he started, muttering how he didn't realize it'd take so long to load up. We actually saw him doing it on the first day, but thought it'd be funnier if he just kept loading and loading, never getting close enough to his goal to make it worth his while. I mean, that crazy operation had to cost a fortune to get off the ground, stealing a couple bars couldn't have covered much of his initial investment."
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Diamond is probably exploiting a loophole that allows unilingual magazines (and presumably partworks). Funny, the only non-bilingual Hasbro products I've seen on the shelves were brought up here by Diamond and sold at Mom & Pops. I bought a lot of Titaniums in US packaging but never found any unilingual stuff at a TRU or WM.
In fact, the BSG Titaniums were never licensed for Canada but still turned up in US packaging at comic shops. Kinda insulting, considering it was a Canadian co-production and was shot up here.
Hehe, maybe Goldfinger planned to smelt up a fleet of solid gold zeppelins and float 'em out of there.
I laugh out loud every time I hear Bond's "Run along now. Man-talk." line in the Goldfinger film. Classic sexism writ humongous.

1.You spend your money on yourself: this set of circumstances motivates you to get the best deal at the best price.
2.You spend your money on other people: this set of circumstances motivates you to be as economical as possible.
3.You spend other peoples money on yourself: this scenario implies cost is no object, and spending happens in accordance.
4.You spend other peoples money on other people: in which case neither cost nor value has any meaning.
Spending is more than just the weekly shop, it constitutes investment. When you buy a chocolate bar, youre not just paying the store that provides it and the people who made it: youre paying for cocoa and sugar farms, the workers on those cocoa and sugar farms, the trucks and ships that transport the sugar cane and cocoa beans, the dairies that provide the milk, the processing plants and so on. There is a cascade of investment which comes from every single purchase made, which flows up and down the supply chain. Category one and to a lesser extent, category two spending means that this investment rewards the best and most efficient producers.
The vast majority of government spending falls into category four; earmarks can be said to be in category three. In this instance, investment allocation is not happening on the basis of efficiency, it is being done on the basis of supposition (as in category four) or on the basis of personal greed at the expense of others (category three).
Worse, there is an effect in economics known as crowding out; when government expenditure increases, the amount of private expenditure and investment decreases: there is only so much liquidity in an economy at any one time and government liquidity can only happen if private liquidity reduces. If the government does more category four things, this will come at the direct expense of category one things.

Yeah Israel is the only country we send tax payer's money to help support isn't it? It amazes me the number of Israel haters out there.
It's more like anti American. The left is so concerned about how much tax money is sent to a friendly nation like Israel, but seldom complains about the billions being sent to the muslims.
And, of course, a lefty like Sarge pays so much income tax, he should have a say in where it should be spent.

Ben McKenzie Will Play Young James Gordon On FOX's 'Gotham' TV Series
He's spent most of his career protecting California — first as an angsty teen on The O.C. and more recently as a cop on South LAnd, but it seems Benjamin McKenzie's next stop is Gotham as a young James "Jim" Gordon. This isn't McKenzie's first rodeo either, as he voiced a young Bruce Wayne in Warner Bros. Animation's 2011 Batman Year One animated feature, which adapted the comic of the same name by writer Frank Miller, artist David Mazzucchelli, colorist Richmond Lewis and letterer Todd Klein.
The news come from Variety, which reminds us that the plot of Gotham won't just be about the future police commissioner of Gotham City. The show will be chronicling the evolution of a preteen Bruce Wayne as he's shaped into the world's greatest detective. Along the way, some name brand bad guys will apparently be given origins too. So far, McKenzie is the only confirmed star, though.
Danny Cannon is set to direct the show's pilot, which features a script written by Bruno Heller. Both Cannon and Heller will also serve as an executive producers of the show, which already has a series commitment from FOX.

Spill II even bigger than Chevron thought
Turns out, the latest oil spill on Salt Lake City's east bench was at least two to three times larger than previously estimated, Chevron reported Friday.
But, thanks to two days of scraping, scooping and suctioning, crews have recovered all but a fraction of the crude that leaked Wednesday night from an apparently faulty pipeline valve near Red Butte Garden's amphitheater in the Wasatch foothills.
The oil giant said Friday it hoped to recover this weekend the remaining 5 percent of leaked oil — thickened by the frigid air for easier cleanup. And Salt Lake City Fire Capt. Michael Harp said crews have removed about half the contaminated soil.
Chevron cannot yet explain why Wednesday's leak occurred. But it did increase the estimate of spilled oil to as much as 500 barrels, up from the 100 to 200 barrels reported Thursday.
"The free oil's up," company spokesman Dan Johnson said. "It's just a matter of getting the residue that's there."
Repairing Chevron's crude-stained reputation in Salt Lake City will require more work — especially in the wake of an even larger June spill from the same pipeline poured more than 800 barrels into nearby Red Butte Creek.
Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker is scheduled to meet Monday with officials from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration about his demand that the pipeline remain shut down until a thorough, independent review confirms it is safe.
"Our foremost concern is guaranteeing public safety," Becker said, "both in the near term and going forward."
Investigators from the federal pipeline-safety office huddled Friday with the state Department of Environmental Quality, the Salt Lake Valley Health Department, the Salt Lake City Fire Department, the city's public utilities office, federal workplace safety officials and U.S. Rep. Jim Matheson to plan for the probe into why the pipeline again leaked.
"After this last incident, we all assumed this pipeline was thoroughly checked out," said Matheson, D-Utah. "We have to find out what happened" before anyone can say when the pipeline can return to operation.
If Chevron's latest estimate — that up to 500 barrels leaked — turns out to be right, that would amount to 21,000 gallons, or about two-thirds the 33,600 gallons that spilled from a dime-sized rupture June 11-12, fouling Red Butte Creek, the Yalecrest neighborhood, Liberty Park's pond and a stretch of the Jordan River.
Not only was the latest spill's progress slowed by the cold, but a paved pathway provided a natural barrier while emergency crews erected their own berms to contain the spill and prevent it from reaching Red Butte Creek.
City Public Utilities Director Jeff Niermeyer said the concrete containment box, housing the apparently faulty valve and still filled with toxic fumes, is close to being clean enough and safe enough to allow investigators to begin their work. That would include removing the valve and analyzing it at a metals lab.
"This was a much smaller event [than June's spill]," Niermeyer said, "but that is only by luck, to some degree. The issues of concern are still there."
Niermeyer said the city will insist on a holistic approach to ensuring the entire system's integrity, not just the pipeline itself. He said emergency response, leak detection, operation protocols, backup systems — all of that must be validated before the pipeline resumes operation.
To aid this effort, the city has hired a Seattle-based independent remediation and consulting firm to oversee the work of Chevron and federal investigators. The contractor was on the scene Friday.
In addition, the city has a spill ombudswoman, Robin Carbaugh, and resident advisory committees to tackle the issues raised by the June spill. They are expected to add the latest spill to their agendas.
The city has tallied a total of $372,275 in its costs from the June spill — so far. Cleanup continues from that disaster.
The Utah Division of Water Quality has been collecting daily samples to verify that chemicals from the oil are not getting into the creek. That testing will continue, said division director Walt Baker.
"We are not seeing any sheen ... and that is a good sign," he said, noting that soil sampling also is planned. "We just want to make sure there's not any product leaching into the stream."

AFA Statement on 'Prevention' Findings
Alzheimer's Foundation of America Comment on State-of-the-Science Panel Statement on Preventing Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Decline
The Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) issued this comment on the National Institutes of Health state-of-the-science panel statement "Preventing Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Decline" released on April 28, 2010. The independent panel drafted its statement based on a review of scientific literature and presentations at a day-two open forum. The statement is available at http://consensus.nih.gov/2010/alzstatement.htm.
The conclusions drawn by the panel of experts are both good news and bad news for the dementia care community that AFA serves. The good news is that the concept of dementia promoted by AFA conforms with the best available scientific data; however, the bad news is that inadequate data is available to absolutely define the impact of successful aging strategies.
The process was thoughtful, balanced and inclusive, and the panel's determination illustrates the complexity and uncertainty surrounding this issue. It is critical to note that the absence of confirmatory data does not imply evidence that an intervention is a failure. The nation's limited investment in dementia research has contributed to inadequate quantities of research to confirm these complex issues. AFA's successful aging message remains unchanged and is consistent with the best available data provided by the panel of experts.
While the panel found that there currently is no evidence of "even moderate scientific quality" supporting any modifiable factors such as supplement intake, use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, diet, exercise or social engagement as a way to reduce an individual's risk for Alzheimer's disease, and "low-grade" evidence showing weak associations between many lifestyle choices and reduced risk, it said that some of these interventions may confer other benefits. Little evidence presented suggests that interventions designed to improve cognitive function either worsen it or produce unwanted side effects.
The panel was careful to avoid any message that suggested individuals should abandon good health habits, such as exercise, weight control or management of hypertension, despite the fact that the published data is not adequate to tell Americans that engaging in these activities will prevent or reduce the risk for dementia.
It is clear, as everyone on the panel concurred, that the nation's level of scientific investment in Alzheimer's disease is massively underfunded in comparison to the scope of the looming public health problem for this disorder. The discussion highlighted the many unanswered questions related to the pathology and treatment of dementia. The presenters strongly suggested that these brain disorders are highly complex with multiple pathologies. None of the panelists suggested that breakthrough treatments or a cure for dementia are imminent. In addition, no scientist suggested that a specific molecule, such as amyloid or tau, holds the key to dementia and that manipulation of that molecule will cure or reverse these brain changes. The panel did not conclude that available treatments were futile, but rather that they would not prevent or stop brain damage produced by these diseases. These scientific observations related to pathology and treatment are consistent with AFA's position and have been the basis of our long-standing message that America must prepare for a decade of care in order to support individuals living with dementia and manage expenses associated with long-term care.
There was a general sense that vascular pathology played a major role in dementia for older individuals. Likewise, there was relatively good support for the concept that hypertension may be a risk factor for the development of dementia; however, the preventive impact of treating hypertension remains unclear. The panel supported long-term compliance for hypertension as a treatment strategy that provides multiple health benefits, but said there is inadequate data to show that treatment of hypertension will prevent intellectual decline or dementia. However, it found no evidence to disprove the concept that aggressive treatment of hypertension during midlife will slow or prevent the loss of intellectual function in later life.
The panel discussed genetic testing and other predictive testing for dementia as well as biomarkers such as PET scans and spinal fluid levels of amyloid and tau. The panel did not conclude that any specific genetic test, such as APOE genotype, had adequate data to support the ability to predict dementia. The discussion did not suggest that a single scan or spinal fluid level would be developed to predict the likelihood of developing dementia in later life. Moreover, there was little discussion about the financial feasibility of performing PET scans or spinal taps on larger numbers of middle-age individuals.
There are several important conclusions from this panel. First, dementia is often, if not usually caused by a complex mixture of age or disease related pathologies. This complexity may produce the lack of efficacy data on treatment and prevention. Second, given indications that interventions to improve cognitive function are not harmful, AFA will continue to encourage health behaviors, such as exercise or control of hypertension, that have multiple other proven health benefits, and spotlight the available, credible scientific data that suggests brain benefits. Finally, the preventions and possible cures for dementia are unlikely to occur in the near future. The nation must prepare for a decade of care and expand the focus on caregiver issues while it increases the investment in dementia research.
From Richard E. Powers, M.D., chairman, AFA Medical Advisory Board:
To understand the conclusions of the panel, the public must understand the process it used to develop these recommendations. It included: 1.) a systematic review of all published literature 2.) oral presentations by 21 nationally-recognized experts in critical areas of research 3.) questions and statements from conference attendees, and 4.) review by impartial experts with expertise in critical public health issues other than dementia. This process assures that an impartial, thoughtful recommendation occurs.
As a member of the audience during the open forum, I concluded that the presentations were thoughtful, balanced and complete. The panel gave the audience ample opportunity to discuss the issues and raise concerns. Candid and sometimes confrontational exchanges occurred that pointed to genuine differences of opinions.
The panel was sensitive to possible adverse impacts of their conclusion that inadequate data exists, and the chairwoman was clear that the absence of confirmatory data does not suggest that a particular intervention is proven to be non-effective. The final conclusion focused on several interventions, such as exercise, intellectual stimulation and good basic medical care, that the panel suspected may hold great promise in the future with additional research. The panel is duty-bound to only recommend those interventions supported by clear, unequivocal, confirmatory evidence of effectiveness.

I guess I get to type this in again--my silly web browser blew a gasket on me.
I surprised my mom for her birthday by flwing down to Atlanta for last weekend. It worked; she had no idea.
Another few people asked after my defunct CDPD page, so I've revived it. I also fleshed out the list of free software I've done on my home page. SRP got a little page, too--despite the embarrasingly crappy nature of the code, I still think the concept is a good one, and a fellow I know is going to try and touch it up a bit for a school project.
I haven't gotten much of anything done for a week or so. Till of Mandrake, OTOH, fixed assorted buglets in the database. There was a review in Duke of Url about Mandrake 7.2; it was cute to see Foomatic all over one of the screen shots. Everyone seems to notice printing working well in Mandrake, even if they have no idea how many different projects came together to make that happen.
Revenue from my experimental affiliate program is running 30% over budget. I think I'll spend surpluses on supplies and printers for driver developers. Is there any English-language web vendor that will take a US-based credit card order to ship to random points in Europe? Since it's blank paper and the like that I'd be shipping, it would be best if they shipped from Europe as well; shipping blank paper overseas via Fedex seems a bit silly. It would also be nice to offer European developers printers that they can plug in.
I had an interesting discussion with a buddy of mine who turns out to work on MIT's oft-/.'ed 3D printing project. It's conceptually simple, but it appears to be a challenge from the material science standpoint. Consumer models are some time away; even the rattiest commercially sold "goo" printers run $10k and up. MIT's research models are very large and inefficient. They can, however, print 3D objects made of real materials like metal; I had thought it was a setting-type epoxy or something. In fact they can print with all sorts of plastics and metals and things. So they could print up a spare part in only twice the time it takes to get one Fedexed in and for only 10 times the price. I guess it's not the diamond age quite yet...
The interesting thing is the direction of the current research. They're printing things with variations in the material throughout. It turns out that you can make a lens that's perfectly flat, but since the refraction index of the material can vary in a controlled way across the thing, it's still a lens. This is way better than a fresnel, and is something that can't be manufactured any other way. Nifty!

Today's headlines

text: Also about the banks, no there aren't a lot of good solvent banks to go around. BofA and Citi get all the press but there are about 20-30 smaller banks around the country that are in trouble too. More importantly, the small banks need the larger banks. They don't act like individual firm but a network. For instance small banks get operating loans and sell asset to larger banks all the time. In addition Larger banks are market makers. Without there assets the system would get much tigher and it would lost 35% of the assets (just BofA and Citi). This would jack up interest rates maybe by a few points, and deepen the recession.

I think that a lot of the Europeans here underestimate the awesome power of a very long and horribly insecure land border with Mexico. Hungary has a grand total of 2171km of land borders, and those are with countries that probably don't have any more guns than Hungary does. US has 3169km of border just with fucking Mexico, and most of it's wilderness and desert.
Granted, in recent years it seems like Obama's fast and furious dumbfuckery sent more guns that way than were coming in this way, but still the fact remains that if you're an asshole who wants a gun but the government won't let you buy one, you can bet your ass that somebody down there will be willing to sell you one and launch it over the fence with a drug catapult.
You often have good points to discuss, but your rampant anti-Obama-ism sometimes makes them hard to engage. "Obama's fast and furious" indeed.
As to Mexico, that the US shares a border with it isn't a good backdrop for national policy. Even if I bought the argument that it's a lawless war zone and people who live near there must have guns to ensure their safety (which I don't), that has nothing to do with the value of having guns in Iowa. If gun availability is a bad idea absent a war zone, then there are better approaches than making guns incredibly easy to get, everywhere, all the time, with no consequences for improper use.

Recap, Playlist, Archive: Sheena Beaston on East Village Radio with Hesta Prynn, Fam & Friends
On Friday, we started our (and hopefully your) weekend off with a bang by doing what we do. And what we do, is occasionally fill-in on East Village Radio for our pal Jason, during his Accidental Rhythm show. In case you weren't tuned in (in which case....psssshhaw on you!), here's what went down.
With a last minute "hey girl hey, can you come on down and dish out some tunes" request, there wasn't enough hours in the day for me to get my ish together and do something super rad. But that's where friends, family and the fantastic Hesta Prynn came to the rescue. Pop-ins from my friend Samantha, my sister and her husband (check out their band) and the former Northern State singer all helped make the show a robust beast of a two-hour shindig.
I also announced that my own show will be starting this week on July 15, and it's gonna happen on the regular, every Thursday from 8-10pm! (more on that later) And there was music. Good stuff too. Including No Mercy's Where Do You Go. THAT's how we roll.

Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First I removed the 2 old screws that had the broken hinge peices in it. The I open the microwave door, snapped in the new peice and put in the two new screws. That was all it took!
The new vent popped right in. Screws easily secured. Same size. Same color. Good as new. Was very simple to do.

Stuck Zipper
Why It Matters
Have you ever had a zipper get stuck before on your back pack?
You pull and pull on the zipper but it just won't move. Finally, with one final tug, the zipper frees itself from its obstacle and comes zooming up!
Stress along fault lines can behave a lot like a stuck zipper. Here is a simulation that the U.S.G.S. has created to show this happening along the San Andreas Fault line during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake:
How are zippers similar to fault lines at plate boundaries? Instead of us tugging at our zipper, what is tugging on the fault line?

- The San Andreas Fault line has a long history of getting stuck and then slipping. http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/earthq3/move.html What type of stress is being experienced along this fault line? What type of fault line is the San Andreas Fault in California?
- The San Andreas Fault represents the transform plate boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. Here is a map of California with the San Andreas Fault plotted: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/earthq3/where.html Make a prediction of what the shape of California will look like in the future. Trace the shape of California (by hand or digitally) and create a flip book showing the motion along the San Andreas Fault.

With the strong Classic Star Wars lineup slated for 2004, now either confirmed or rumored to include a vast majority of figures Original Trilogy fans have wanted forever, but were never made before, we look ahead to what the future may hold. Hasbro has the license to do Star Wars action figures until 2018. But by 2008, almost every conceivable background character from all 6 movies could be released, and the 15-20 core characters could only be resculpted or re-released to keep the line alive by drawing in new fans. One possibility is that Hasbro will turn towards higher detail, larger action figures, closer to ArtAsylum's type of products. So:
After 2007, would you buy Hasbro SW figures if they changed the size?

Thread: Bamboo Shrimp Likes Filter Floss
Bamboo Shrimp Likes Filter Floss
I bought my first bamboo shrimp last week and placed him in my 55 gallon community tank. I also had an old filter cartridge in there to keep wet that I was going to be moving to a new filter in a couple days to help seed it.
Well, I haven't moved the cartridge yet because my bamboo shrimp won't leave it alone! He spends a lot of time on the filter floss feasting on all of the little particles stuck to it. I'm thrilled that he's eating so enthusiastically, but is it OK to leave filter floss in there like this for him to feed from? Or should I remove it and let him find his food the way bamboo shrimp normally do?FW 29 Gal: 1 Fancy Goldfish
FW 55 Gal: 8 Albino Corydoras, 1 Platy, 3 Swordtails, 1 Molly, 6 Nerite Snails
Currently in QT: 1 German Blue Ram, 3 Platies, 1 Swordtail
mine has camped out on my sponge filter a few times. You've basically got a dirty sponge filter with no water flow, so I'm not surprised the shrimp likes it. Doesn't seem like a long-term solution though, I would move it like you had planned to and see if it can find other food.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids
125 gallon office tank: Africian cichlids, synodontis catfih
75 gallon community tank: bolivian rams, black skirt tetras, dwarf neon rainbowfish, corys, harlequin rasboras, otos, bristlenose and bulldog plecos, assassin snails, various shrimp
60 gallon goldfish tank: fancy goldfish
Thanks for the advice, Brhino. I had been contemplating getting some plain filter floss that isn't connected to a cartridge and rotating a few pieces from the filter into the tank for him, but I think this is just me being nervous about caring for him properly. I'm so happy he's eating and am hesitant to ruin a good thing.
I'll move the cartridge out this weekend as planned and observe him for a few days. The tank has been established for several years so I probably shouldn't worry so much about him having enough to eat.FW 29 Gal: 1 Fancy Goldfish

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." --Alberto Alessi
Born in Milan in 1918, Achille Castiglioni started working as an architect and designer with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo in 1938. One of the great masters of Italian design, he was a founding member of ADI in the fifties. The long list of awards he has received include eight Compassi d'Oro. His activity as a designer is an unmistakable blend of simplicity, irony and fun and its shows his close interest in the way objects are used, in the potential offered by technology and in the use of new materials.View other products by Achille Castiglioni

Looks like a skin for jelly lock mostly
Nice, simple. Elegant. Love it ! Worth the $0.99!!
Isn't this like JellyLock?
Jelly Lock is free with additional features. How's this a 99 cents worthy? Not that 99 cents is a lot but that'd make me a dummy to pay for something hardly new or innovative. I'll pass, thanks. Maybe make it dead center with swipe up/down/left/right and allow customer functionality of those swipes.

Using dd cmd to copy drive.
We are using a VMware LabManager with a Linux box and a XP box.
The lab is suppose to use a external drive but we are not able to do that.
There is a Z: drive that has sharing set up on it. I have used Prodiscover Basic to save the data on the Z:.
On the linux box I have mapped the /share dir to the Z:.
This is where it gets a little off. I am not able to copy the entire Z: with the dd cmd.
dd if=/share | split -b 20m - test
I have to go in and specify the individual file.
dd if=/share/Greek/test | split -b 20m - test
As you can imagine this would be hectic if we need to copy an entire drive.
I think I provided all the pertinent info. If not, feel free to ask!
Any ideas?

Travel: Exploring South-Central Alaska in Custom Tundra Buggies
Wheeling in America's Last Frontier
"Do you know what to do if the Range Rover starts to float down the river?" I asked Jason Beard, of Wasilla, Alaska. He nodded his head as he eyeballed the fast-moving waters we were about to enter. "Roll down the windows and take off your seatbelt." Check. "Go in at an angle motoring upstream, throttling at a steady pace." Got it. And, finally, "Exit the Rover quickly if you need to, pointing your feet downstream for the protection of your head, if you get carried away by the current."
It was at this point I made the lightning-quick decision to exit his bone-stock 1992 Rover riding on 225/17s while I was on terra firma, and call my good friend "Gus" Gustafson to cross back across the Little Nelchina River for me, so I could photograph Beard traversing this glacial river from the top of Gustafson's stout tundra buggy. After all, I had just met Beard a couple hours earlier, and, despite the fact that he's a rabid Camel Trophy fan and has followed this legendary 4WD event over a number of years, I didn't really know him or his driving skills. Plus, memories of floating down a few rivers in a variety of vehicles on off-road adventures around the world began to flood my head.
It was also a great excuse to get some good shots from the buggy, which has tall and aggressive agricultural tires, a fording depth of more than 4 feet, and low-range gearing that could pull a gang of grizzly bears across this remote tundra in south-central Alaska. Beard had pulled out a tow strap, secured it to the front of the Rover, and draped it over the top of his roof rack. Clearly, he was bold and ready to navigate the river, even though it wasn't a part of our original plan.
We had contacted Beard through the Alaska4x4Network.com website and planned to meet him at the jumping-off point for the Eureka off-road trail system, located along the Glenn Highway in an unpopulated area northeast of Anchorage. This trail system offers a network of hundreds of miles of dirt track used year-round by off-roaders who play, camp, and hunt in this region with majestic views in every direction, riding vehicles with low-range gearing, including ATVs and snowmobiles.
At the time, Beard's Range Rover rode on street tires and had no lift (both have been upgraded since), so he planned to join our group for a few hours of wheeling and sightseeing that would end when we reached the first of numerous river crossings. Beard would then head back to higher ground and camp in his vehicle with other wheelers at the trailhead.
Our group included Gustafson, a renowned four-wheeling enthusiast and buggy builder; and his friend Dan West, who is also a back-country specialist. The pair, from Talkeetna, Alaska, took me and Molly Perkins and Billy Brice of Manchester, Vermont, on an overnight camping trip into this remote locale to take in the scenery, see some wildlife, and learn a few 4WD skills in a land that becomes an off-road driving classroom as soon as you leave the pavement. Perkins and Brice love four-wheeling, but their experience had been limited to less challenging trails in the Green Mountain State.
As we began our journey, our last glimpse of civilization was the Eureka Lodge, located along the winding two-lane strip of tarmac that ribbons east-west between Palmer and Glennallen. It offers inexpensive and hearty meals, camping supplies, fuel, and cursory lodging. After filling our bellies and downing the lodge's 25c coffee, we soon found ourselves in the hinterlands, sharing the landscape with thousands of migrating caribou, a grizzly bear or two, and eagles that soared on the wind currents above. We drank in the tundra terrain with its colorful wildflowers, alpine sedges, mosses, lichens, scrub brush, and the utterly gorgeous vistas of the Nelchina Glacier and the mountain ranges that surround this region: the Talkeetnas, Chugach, Wrangells, and the Alaska Range.
By the time we reached the overview that captured the braided collection of rivers weaving through the lowlands and the sliver of track in the far distance leading to our camping spot, Beard had bogged down a few times in deep mud. He had to be snatched forward or back, but had proven his heartiness, and our small group had bonded. As Gustafson pointed far beyond the "little Nell" and the Little and Big Oshetna Rivers, it was obvious Beard wanted to stay the course.
Despite the small rubber underneath the Rover, Beard was successful in navigating crossing after crossing, and I soon gained the confidence to ride shotgun with him. As the day progressed and the water grew deeper, it was time for another lesson. When we reached a series of river crossings of biblical proportions, Gustafson and West ran each crossing to scout out the best line, checking for holes and buried treasure such as rocks, trees, and limbs. Returning for Beard and me, they would position their vehicles upstream and slightly off-angle to each other, blocking the raging current to create a hole for Beard to drive through. The Moses move soon became a choreographed dance and a part of the magic that delighted us as rivers of caribou dodged and weaved in front of us and on the hillsides around us.
Despite setting up our tents when it was still light out, we found our own "night" late in the evening, after a campside meal around Gustafson's hand-welded stove. While Perkins, Brice, and I were daunted by the enormous grizzly tracks threading through our campsite, we were exhausted by the day in the great outdoors and ready to rest so we could push the repeat button for our return trip the next day. Our local friends were unconcerned about sharing this spot with bears that can range up to 1000 pounds. Bears are simply part of the life in Alaska; we all hoped they were more interested in the caribou herd than in us.
As we headed back to the tarmac and the lodge to enjoy another meal and more coffee, we had our blueprint for crossing the rivers. And Beard slipped chains over his tires, making easier going as we caravanned home. It was a classroom none of us would forget, and there would be stories to tell around other campfires for years to come about rivers of caribou, biblical water crossings, and the Moses move.
The Tundra Buggies
Bill Newman, of Eagle River, Alaska, is the spiritual father of the Newman Buggy that spawned a generation of functional vehicles for traveling the wilds of Alaska. Newman, a welder, and his son Ty designed and built a collection of buggy models that ranged from Spartan two-seaters to highly specialized, eight-passenger versions.
Gus Gustafson and Diane Fox, who are now retired after working for the Alaska Public Transit System, built their own two-seater buggies and have made upgrades and improvements over the past two decades. They continue to use them on trips with family and friends, as well as on annual hunts.
On this trip, Gus drove Vince Burke's buggy, dubbed Squatty, because it sits lower than Diane's model. Both vehicles have more than 4 feet of ground clearance. Diane's buggy started with a Chevy Suburban frame, and is set up with a stock 350 engine, Turbo 400, and 205 New Process transfer case; 4-inch lift; a Dana 60 in the rear (70 in the front) with Detroit lockers; hydro-assist steering; Warn winches front and rear; and 21.5 x 16.1 Firestone Field and Road tires. Gus has set up a similar two-seater, but was driving Burke's model, which is similar to Diane's, but started as a Chevy S-10.

I hope your dog never gets bloat. Just in case he/she does, though, there are a couple of things to know.
1. Bloat is treatable by surgery. It is fatal if not treated.
2. Time is of the essence. If you suspect bloat, get your dog to a vet as fast as possible. You won't expect it; it's a surprise. Adjust your thinking quickly.
3. Suspect bloat if your dog's midsection is distended. DO NOT RELY ON YOUR DOG'S BEHAVIOR to tell you whether he/she is in grave danger. He may not look miserable--he might even act normal and happy.
4. There is a procedure your vet may not know about. Research and discussion could save your dog's life; see below.
John and I had our first experience with bloat last month. Unfortunately we did not catch it immediately and our dog's prognosis was grave. As time passes while tissues are compressed by the twisting and the distended stomach, blood supply is compromised resulting in necrosis. This was the case with our dog. Fortunately, as it turned out, this occurred on a Friday evening so he was in the care of the local emergency vet. Our emergency vet, it turns out, is not just open when other vets aren't: they are also specialists in emergency veterinary medicine. Our dog first had the standard surgery and gastropexy. They gave him a very poor prognosis because of the color of part of his stomach tissue (indicating necrosis). The next day his white count plummeted, indicating out-of-control infection. By this time the vets had conferred, and the owner of the practice suggested a procedure the original surgeon didn't know about. They operated a second time. They dealt with some other problems but the main things they did were an "invagination" procedure where they folded the compromised part of the stomach inward, stitching it up so it was inside the stomach and not where it could affect/infect the abdominal cavity, and they left the incision open so it could drain and they could observe.
This was a miserable time. They told me that recent research showed that good pain management resulted in significantly better survival rates, but the effect was that our dog, already weak, was also so doped up that he was barely conscious. If I stroked his head the muscles around his eyes responded, but he didn't open his eyes. His breathing was ragged, and after the second surgery they told me there was pus on the trach tube when they pulled it out. They had him on strong antibiotics and turned him over at regular intervals to help his breathing.
Late Sunday night they did a third, minor surgery to close the incision. They were amazed, they told me, that when they pulled the trach tube this time, he immediately stood up and walked into his kennel. At 2 a.m. they called me to say he was *eating* and could go home that morning. I had not expected it--I thought I was going to have to shuttle him back and forth between the regular vet and the emergency vet for a couple more days' hospitalization. They think the fitness of a two-year-old field trial dog made the difference here.
The vets told me that keys to recognizing bloat are that nothing can go in or out, so your dog won't be able to keep anything down if he even tries to eat, and he may look like he's trying to retch or belch, but is not able to. What surprised me, though, was how normal our dog was acting. He would fetch a dummy off the floor, and when we put him in the truck to go to the vet, we had a hard time getting the door shut because his tail was wagging so hard.
As I said, I hope you never have to deal with bloat. If you do, though, reacting appropriately (fast!) is the key to giving your dog a shot at survival.

Interesting times, it's been a little more then a year since I was laid off when DevelopOnline went bankrupt. Since then I've been contracting in the embedded space. Some Linux, some 8 bit CPU stuff.
The 8 bit stuff has been with the Rabbit Semiconductor 3000 Rabbit core processor. It's a Z80 on steroids. six serial ports, one Ethernet port, lots of parallel I/O, 512K RAM and 512K Flash onboard. Fun little system. Even has an MMU onboard. But since it's only an 8 bit system no Linux for it. Still lots of fun.
It is always interesting to see where life leads you. In this case back to my roots from the 1980's.


text: must say , I'm disappointed. the gun holder has plastic cover on each end that was coming off as I opened the package .No sign it was ever glued to the metal . and the U bolt that holds the gun down has 2 wing nuts to tighten....IE ; lost the first day .The stand itself is taller than expected so no feedback until after training this weekend . But no holding blind I have ever seen will hide this stand The double stake to hold in the ground is large and that is a good thing . The upright pole is hollow pipe, not like solid metal poles I am used to.Which means it could get bent easier than a solid rod IMO .

Boss ready for massive game
Boss Dean Saunders has called on his players to repeat their reaction to the Huddersfield defeat heading into Saturday's crucial visit of Burnley (3pm).
Circumstances were very different as Wolves lost to Charlton on Saturday – the last-minute reverse came when the team deserved a point – but the players responded to the Huddersfield set back a weekend earlier by going out and beating Hull.
Saunders believes it is within the team's grasp to do the same again this Saturday against Burnley, and build on some impressive recent home form which has seen ten points taken from the last five games.
"We were top of the form league before Saturday and have been doing really well winning five out of eight," he says.
"The players have responded before.
"We lost to Huddersfield which was a big disappointment and then came back and beat Hull.
"We just need a bit of luck as well which has deserted us in recent weeks.
"At Bolton a shot was deflected right into Alonso's path and he scored and last week Dorus's save bounced straight to Beckford.
"Leadbitter hit the crossbar for Middlesbrough and it wasn't over the line but was given yet when Jamie O'Hara's shot against Barnsley did go over it wasn't given.
"There have been three penalties against Sako which I don't think were penalties.
"It is funny how it goes when you are down the bottom but hopefully we will get all that luck over the next couple of games – we need to have some.
"We've also got six players injured who would be playing in these games for us including our main goalscorers.
"That is something that hasn't gone our way either and it was cruel for the fans who were there on Saturday to see us lose in the 90th minute.
"It was cruel luck today and cruel for the fans who were here to see us lose in the 90th minute.
"There are always disappointments even for teams at the other end of the table.
"It's my job to be strong myself and Monday morning come back in fighting and ready to beat Burnley.
"We have to roll our sleeves up because we are not out of it and a result next week can change everything.
"If we win and Peterborough don't we would be favourites again so we have to concentrate on beating Burnley next week."
Saunders however knows it will be a typically tough npower Championship test against a Burnley side who still need a result themselves to be sure of their own survival.
And the Clarets will arrive at Molineux boosted by a late goal of their own in clinching a draw at title-winning Cardiff on Saturday.
"Burnley haven't had great results but have got a last minute goal against Cardiff and a great point on Saturday," added the boss.
"We have to get a plan ready and make sure nobody gets injured in training and then move forward.
"We had been in automatic promotion form before Saturday but we are still in the bottom three which is incredible.
"And it could have been even worse on Saturday if the other results had gone against us.
"We've done well at home recently apart from the Huddersfield game.
"The players believe they can do it and it is all to play for on Saturday."

Well, it's been a long time since I posted here - too long considering I've (in theory) had loads of spare time for the past month!
Real life
Starting with the "old news": I'm definitely going to Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and I've had a few billion forms to fill in about this... Two other people I know are going there, which is nice, and others are going to different colleges in the same university. I travel down on 4th October... and before then I've got to have sorted out everything I want to take with me, which will not be easy considering the state of my room!
I bought my Undergraduate Gown today (which I need on the second day in Trinity Hall, for the Matriculation Photograph). It's plain black. That's boring. Perhaps I should have chosen one of the colleges, e.g. Gonville and Caius which has a blue one. Oh well, never mind, at least my college is pronounceable!
The mailing list program I mentioned in my last entry works well now, and I've been paid. A few more features - fairly extensive ones - have been requested, and I'll hopefully have time to implement those (for a further payment, of course!). I would have started earlier, except there's been a disagreement over code licensing - but I think I've finally got permission to continue GPLing it (or at least I got "Thanks for the clarification; please proceed" which I think means the same). (Memo to self: sort out licensing before writing any code next time...) Thanks to aes for his help and suggestions in resolving this.
I've also started programming in C again - just a little bit, writing fixes for aes's calculator app - but I haven't done this for years, and have never before done any GUI work in C. Great fun. But my method of teaching myself probably means I'll end up with really bad coding style... (I suppose that's what my imminent CompSci course is for!)
The Network From Hell
A DNS server I set up a few months ago for a large, wide-area company network has started choking, complaining of excessive connections. This server is supposed to only handle DNS lookups for the Internet and for the non-Windows portion of their network (and there isn't much of that) - lookups for internal Windows machines should be handled by various NT Domain Servers before the queries get to my server. But no: it turns out that for the past couple of years, they've been doing their Windows DNS stuff completely wrong (mainly because they were using Windows NT techniques on Windows 2000 servers, I think) and this results in huge numbers of bogus queries being dumped on my server. E.g. a machine wants to find another Windows machine called "ABCD123". My server shouldn't see this request at all, since it should be handled by either a Windows NT Domain Controller or a Windows 2000 Active Directory Controller. But instead my server is thrown requests for "ABCD123.subdomain.domain.co.uk.", "ABCD123.domain.co.uk.", "ABCD123.co.uk.", "ABCD123.uk." and "ABCD123.". None of which exist. And this is happening hundreds of times a second from different machines all over the network...
And for once I can just say "it's not my fault; fix your network" :-) It's nice when it's Someone Else's Problem.
(Not something I do regularly, but why not, once in a while...)
I helped organise a small LAN party at a friend's house last weekend - and amazingly everything worked as planned. Now, with the enthusiasm gained at the LAN party, I'm trying to set up a Linux dedicated server for UT2003; this worked perfectly for about half an hour today, then mysteriously stopped working and nothing I do will make it work again. Clients just get stuck in some sort of loop whilst connecting, sending out about 10 six-byte UDP packets per second to the server. Oh well, more tweakage needed.

Heat up turkey with prepared Cajun seasoning, then cool it down with sour cream or a mild salsa.
Large slow-cookers accommodate turkey thighs, but oval-shaped cookers handle them the bet. Arrange the turkey thighs in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Seasonings can fade after hours of slow cooking. To perk up flavor, sprinkle the sliced turkey with additional Cajun seasoning just before serving.
Seal any leftover turkey in a resealable plastic food storage bag and refrigerate it for up to two days.

text: This Walmart is right outside of downtown and is full of section 8'ers and lower-class inner city folks. Customer service is NOT their priority-- you've gotta trust me on this one. It usually takes 20 minutes to get to a person at the CS/returns desk and there are about 20 carts of merchandise waiting to go back out just sitting in the expanse where customers don't/can't queue. It looks like a war zone. I should take a picture sometime.

Binghamton University plays host to state physical facilities meeting
Binghamton University's Physical Facilities department will host the annual conference of the state Physical Plant Administrators Association July 22-24 at the Binghamton Regency.
The conference will draw physical plant administrators from across the state and will center on the theme, "Crossroads: Charting a New Course." Over 170 registrants, speakers and vendors are expected to attend the conference.
Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur will offer opening remarks and R. Wayne Diesel, executive director of the State University Construction Fund, is scheduled to deliver the keynote address.
Conference sessions will focus on several key issues facing physical plant administrators, including a two-part discussion on the development and activation of security and safety master plans. Emergency response planning, which has taken on new meaning and importance since the events of September 11, will also be discussed. The sessions will address how an organization should design and develop plans to suit their facility using three key elements: who should write the plans, what should be done prior to and after an emergency, and how to assign key players to carry out the plan. The presenter is Kevin Cassidy, a security consultant with Janus Associates, a leader in the security and fire safety consulting industry. Following the events of September 11, Cassidy was called upon to chair a number of committees including the New York City Media Security Committee. He has conducted criminal and civil investigations for major Fortune 500 companies and served as vice president of investigations for summit security services in New York City.
The three-day conference will also feature presentations on the EPA Audit Process and a state executive order that requires all state agencies to reduce energy consumption by 35 percent by 2010. Other sessions will focus on how to manage capital using life cycle costing, elevator maintenance management and achieving long-term roofing success.
More information about the conference sessions can be found at facilities.binghamton .edu/Suny_ppaa/index.htm
