Since NPanday is a project that builds .NET Applications, we brainstormed for a name that would symbolize a great builder, a builder that would have more freedom from its predecessor.
Panday is a bisaya word for carpenter/builder and at the same time Panday is a fictional Filipino comic hero that would fight monsters using a dagger which magically turns into a sword when raised into the sky. The materials of the dagger came from a meteorite that struck down on earth during the reign of the monsters and supernatural beings. Panday fights to bring back freedom and peace to the people once more.
You would need to install the following:
No. NPanday's Visual Studio Add-in can ensure the user will have minimal interaction with Apache Maven if desired, without any need to manipulate the POM.
Yes. Since the NPanday Visual Studio Addin creates a POM file from your corresponding .NET Project you can build your .NET Projects using standard Apache Maven commands.
By using NPanday, you can take advantage of existing development infrastructure that is compatible with Maven. This is particularly beneficial to organizations that have both Java and .NET development teams that want to share a common infrastructure stack.
In addition, NPanday brings Maven's dependency management and other plugins (such as developer site generation) to .NET projects with little additional work needed.
Add the -DsettingsFile=[path_to_custom_settings.xml_file] parameter when executing mvn org.apache.npanday.plugins:maven-vsinstaller-plugin:install. For example,
mvn org.apache.npanday.plugins:maven-vsinstaller-plugin:install -DsettingsFile="C:\common\settings.xml"
Add the <rootNameSpace> element under <configuration> inside the maven-compile-plugin plugin. Just like the following:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.npanday.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compile-plugin</artifactId> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <language>VB</language> <rootNameSpace>my.company</rootNameSpace> </configuration> </plugin>

text: Hi Im very interested in this topic as my 2 year old lab appears to be damaging birds. She never makes a mark on a bumper but appears to damage the rib cage of some birds. She is very fast and picks the bird up without slowing down and then appears to take a better grip shortly after. This is where i believe she maybe damaging them as her delivery is very good. I have tried putting wire on them which worked for a short period at slowing her down but she is at it again so I was thinking of using the ecollar just before pickup and when she is re adjusting the bird. Any suggestions please.

A new effort is being launched to try to persuade the Republican Party to drop its opposition to same-sex marriage from the party's platform, a steep climb that would require overcoming social conservatives who have dominated the GOP's position on the issue.

A new effort is being launched to try to persuade the Republican Party to drop its opposition to same-sex marriage from the party's platform, a steep climb that would require overcoming social conservatives who have dominated the GOP's position on the issue.
The effort, called Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry, is a project ofFreedom to Marry, which is campaigning to win over Republicans to the issue in hopes of building a broader national consensus in favor of gay marriage rights.
Backers include GOP strategist Margaret Hoover as well as Abby Hunstman and Meghan McCain, both daughters of prominent Republicans.
The effort, which hopes to raise and spend $1 million over the next three years, plans to travel to four states that stage early presidential primary contests to make its case to Republicans. They want the party to delete several passages declaring marriage to be a man and a woman and related passages and instead adopt a statement taking no position on gay marriage rights but celebrating the value of marriage as a "fundamental, personal freedom."
The proposed language further states: "We recognize that there are diverse and sincerely held views on civil marriage within the Party… [we] commit our party to respect for all families and fairness and freedom for all Americans."
Evan Wolfson, who heads Freedom to Marry, said the effort would include staff to organize supporters, travel for supporters to attend GOP meetings, polling and possibly TV ads. He added that the overall effort is part of a larger strategy to influence the Supreme Court, which is likely to consider one of several cases challenging the constitutionality of gay marriage bans over the next few years.
"We are absolutely working in every way we can to show America is ready for the freedom to marry, and that includes, increasingly, Republicans," he said.
The move would have some degree of precedent. Last weekend, the Republican Party in Nevada voted to strip opposition to gay marriage, as well as abortion, from the state party platform.
The Republican Party platform is written by a committee of delegates to the quadrennial national convention. Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, declined to guess how the effort would go over inside the GOP.
"It's up to the delegates to affirm our platform every four years," he said. "The principles of the platform that was passed in Tampa remains the platform we operate by and will until the next convention."
Support for same-sex marriage has grown nationally in recent years, particularly among young people. A recent Pew Research Center poll found six in 10 young Republicans support gay and lesbian marriage rights. In the aftermath of the 2012 presidential election, the Republican National Committee commissioned a report on how the party can grow its appeal. It concluded that the party's position on gay rights may be a barrier for many younger voters.
"We do not have to agree on every issue, but we do need to make sure young people do not see the Party as totally intolerant of alternative points of view," it said. "For many younger voters, these issues are a gateway into whether the Party is a place they want to be."
But soon after that report was issued, in April 2013, the Republican National Committee overwhelmingly approved a resolution reaffirming its opposition to gay marriage.
Also in response to the RNC report, more than a dozen conservative leaders warnedthat social conservatives would abandon the party if the GOP does not maintain its opposition to same-sex marriage.
"We respectfully warn GOP Leadership that an abandonment of its principles will necessarily result in the abandonment of our constituents to their support," they said in a letter.
Steve Duprey, a Republican committeeman from New Hampshire who said he was one of the few to oppose the 2013 resolution, welcomed the Freedom to Marry effort and said the discussion is good for his party. "Regardless of how it turns out, it shows we're open to talking about it," he said.
But he said there is currently "overwhelming support for the platform as it exists" and that changing the language would be "a very heavy lift."
In an earlier interview about the party's position on the issue, Rich Galen, a GOP strategist who supports gay marriage, said the platform is among the hardest things to change and predicted the GOP's official stance on marriage would not change in his lifetime.
"Political party platforms always appeal to the edges," he said. "Those are often the most ideologically driven."

UTSA offers new financial aid program
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Director of Public Affairs
(Dec. 15, 2006)--UTSA officials announced today a new financial aid package effective fall 2007 for all first-time freshman Texas residents with a family income of $25,000 or less.
Students who fit the criteria will receive grants and scholarships to cover tuition and mandatory fees for four years if they complete 30 credit hours each year and maintain a grade point average of 2.0.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"At UTSA, one of our mandates is to provide access to higher education for groups traditionally underserved -- for students who are oftentimes the first in their family to attend college," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo.
"With this financial aid package, we want to reach out to low-income families in our region to let them know the cost of going to college just got more affordable. UTSA is going to provide a large portion of the funds needed to attend college -- at no cost to the family."
Currently, tuition and mandatory fees for 30 credit hours total approximately $6,000.
The new program, UTSAccess (Undergraduate Tuition Support and Access), includes work-study positions to enable students to work on campus 10-12 hours per week to earn money to help cover the cost of room and board and other educational expenses.
Lisa Blazer, UTSA assistant vice president for financial aid and enrollment services, said one advantage of the work-study component is that it provides part-time employment on campus with flexible work hours each semester.
"In addition to guaranteeing free tuition and mandatory fees, by getting this group of students set up for work-study jobs at school, we know they will feel more a part of UTSA, spend more time on campus, get to know more faculty and staff, and learn about services that are here to help them be successful," said Blazer.
The UTSAccess program will actively provide support programs to help students handle the 30 credit hours per year, so they can continue receiving funds and graduate on time. Support programs include increased academic advising, financial aid counseling, money management and tutoring.
To participate in UTSAccess, students with a family income of $25,000 or less must apply and be admitted to UTSA; apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the priority deadline of March 31, 2007; be registered for at least 12 credit hours each semester (15 credit hours recommended); complete 30 credit hours each year; and maintain a GPA of 2.0.

I miss Hawaii. Lived there for 10 years and can make out alot of my old hang out spots. Can't wait to go back and do this.
This is a great example of the potential of a Gigapan... enough resolution to actually be able to 'drill down' and see detail. Good job!
Absolutely stunning!
I visited Honolulu last year and I is really amazing to spot many of the places I´ve been. Your gigapan photo is simply amazing, wonderful and sharp. Congratulations.
It needs tweaking, but try the Google Earth projection now.
Wow! I would love to see this in Google Earth!
Mahalo for this one! I had fun looking for "my" apartment where I lived while on a research internship from Canada in 1996. Sigghhh... I loved Hawai'i!

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Fred Thomas has quickly learned that college basketball isn't just a game. It's his job.
That's why the Mississippi State freshman sometimes finds himself at Mize Pavilion at 1 or 2 a.m., putting up shots. Thomas said he gets in about 200 extra shots per week.
"In high school we practiced, but not as much or like this," he said. "I treat it like a job."
All the extra work is starting to pay off for the 6-foot-5 Thomas, who led Jackson's Jim Hill High School to the Class 6A state title last year. He's had trouble finding his stroke, but in the last two games Thomas has made 8 of 17 shots, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range.
"I tell our guys it's not hard to figure out. When you come in and get some shots up on your own with a manager or a coach, you are going to shoot the ball better," coach Rick Ray said. "When you don't do that, when you take time off and not find the time to come in and shoot, you don't shoot as well.
"It's a direct correlation."
Thomas said he'll drag a couple of teammates along with him for those late-night shooting sessions. He said he's started taking more seriously the need to work on his stroke, and not just from behind the 3-point line.
"I'm not really working on my threes. I'm really working on my midrange, trying to get it right," Thomas said.
For the season, Thomas is shooting 33.3 percent overall and 26.3 percent from beyond the arc. Making shots has been a collective struggle for the Bulldogs, who rank 13th in the SEC in field goal percentage (40.8) and last in 3-point shooting (27.7).
Thomas is the kind of player who could spark a young, struggling team like MSU. Ray sees the potential and is making sure Thomas knows what his strengths are.
"His pull-up is so good," Ray said. "That's the thing you show him. He shot-fakes and takes two dribbles, and he's so long, and he rises up over people, and he still takes a good shot. But he just gets to playing basketball sometimes, and he needs to shot-fake and drive by people and pull up."
Borchert struggling
Like Thomas, junior college transfer Colin Borchert came to MSU this season with a reputation for hitting outside shots. The 6-8 forward has made only 17.2 percent from 3-point range.
Following an 0 for 7 shooting performance in Saturday's loss to Tennessee, Borchert expressed confidence that he'll find his shot. Ray would like to see him make more threes, but he also values the other things Borchert can do.
"A skilled forward is not just all because a guy can shoot," Ray said. "It's because he can dribble, he can pass, he can score from in the post, he can score from outside the post. He can do a lot of different things in your motion offense."
Borchert can also block shots; he has a team-high 23 in 13 games.
Thomas has other skills, too, like passing the ball. Ray wants to see those skills develop as much as the shooting aspect.
"Fred is another guy, like Colin, who has a natural feel for basketball. He just needs to use it more."

Anything that can go wrong at Camp Bisco, will go wrong. I've been attending the annual festival in upstate New York since 2007, and every year there seems to be a hitch: torrential rain begetting knee-deep mud, eight-hour traffic backups, and even those neon-clad dubstep kids on my damn lawn.
This year, however, proved otherwise. With only a single measly Saturday morning thunderstorm, less than a half-hour wait to enter the festival grounds, and a varied enough lineup to keep everyone happy — from belligerent rave bros to passive hippies — Camp Bisco's 2012 incarnation established itself as amongst the Northeast's premier music festivals.
Any review of Camp must begin with the Disco Biscuits — the Philadelphia jam band who launched the festival in 2000, a time when electronic music held little foothold in our country's mainstream music landscape. Yet the band has stuck firm with their tradition of mashing forward-thinking DJs with a signature blend of psychedelic-tinged electronica. It's their festival and they own it, delivering six sets (roughly seven and a half hours) of music over the course of three days.
As our nation's interest in electronic music has ballooned, so has the festival, with more than 20,000 attending the 2011 incarnation. And if the Biscuits have been the constant in the equation, one would have to note other top-billed acts: Skrillex and Bassnectar each leveled a densely packed field with resoundingly repetitive bass knocks, while Amon Tobin offered a properly ballistic performance of his globe-spanning ISAM tour, convincing a crowd of chemically enhanced concert-goers that we were prepared for takeoff.
Elsewhere, Simian Mobile Disco, Orchard Lounge, and FaltyDL each took their variations of electronic music to the peripheral tents for standout sets, proving that not only will Camp be back for a 12th go-round in 2013, but we can look forward to perfection.

Category: Jellies, Anemones and kin view all from this category
Description Elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) is considered to be one of the most important reef-building corals in the Caribbean. This species of coral is structurally complex with many large branches. The coral structure closely resembles that of elk antlers. These branches create habitats for many other reef species such as lobsters, parrot-fish, snappers, and other reef fish.
Elkhorn coral colonies are incredibly fast growing with an average growth rate of 5 to 10 centimetres (2.0 to 3.9 in) per year and can eventually grow up to 3.7 metres (12 ft) in diameter. The color of this coral species ranges from brown to a yellowish-brown. This color is a result of the symbiotic zooxanthellae that live inside the tissue of this coral species. Zooxanthellae is a type of algae which photosynthesizes to provide the coral with nutrients. The zooxanthellae are also capable of removing waste products from the coral. Historically, the majority of elkhorn coral reproduction has occurred asexually; this occurs when a branch of the coral breaks off and attaches to the substrate forming a new colony, known as fragmentation. The degree to which local stands reproduce by fragmentation varies across the Caribbean but on average 50% of colonies are the result of fragmentation rather than sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction occurs once a year in August or September when coral colonies release millions of gametes by broadcast spawning.
Warning Cuts and scratches resulting from contact with this coral can be slow to heal.
Habitat Coral reefs.
Range Florida.

By Tiernan Ray
Nomura Equity Research software analyst Rick Sherlund today writes that his "checks" of the software channel in the U.S. are "encouraging," and that "results do not seem to have fallen off as weak results form several February reporting companies (notably Oracle (ORCL) and Tibco (TIBX) might have led investors to believe."
Sherlund cautions these checks don't reflect enterprise deals that software firms are closing, they are "directional" indicators of the industry.
That makes him less certain of results from VMware (VMW) and Citrix Systems (CTXS), but Microsoft (MSFT) is doing about as expected despite PC weakness:
VMware's (Neutral) business in the VAR channel (about 75% of total) reportedly showed fewer large deals but likely made up by a higher mix of smaller deals helped by more aggressive discounting. We do not have a read on VMware's large direct deals (ELA's). Citrix (Neutral) appears to have had strength in the VAR channel with NetScaler and in-line results from its desktop virtualization business, so overall in the VAR channel in the US things seemed in-line. Microsoft (Buy) appeared inline as well at one large distributor, but this is not a large part of their business.
Sherlund is much more upbeat about security technology, particularly Fortinet (FTNT) and Palo Alto Networks (PANW):
In the security software space, our checks highlight some strength overall in the quarter, notably in the second half of February, and also a strong close in the month of March. Fortinet (Buy) appeared to discount a bit less and seemed to do well in the VAR channel, which we can easily survey, and in the important Telco vertical. Palo Alto Networks (Neutral rated, April quarter end) continued to show very strong momentum along with Sourcefire (Not Covered) and FireEye (Private). Additionally, our initial checks pointed to some weakness again this past quarter from Check Point (Buy) as well as Juniper [Networks (JNPR) (Neutral) which is covered by Nomura analyst Stuart Jeffrey.

The Abercrombie of headphones
Pros: Looks cool, Comfortable, Has control Talk, Folds up
Cons: See below
I'm going to write two reviews. The first is for the person who comes across this site and has to have the Beats. The second is for everyone else.
Do you buy all your clothes from Abercrombie and Finch? Is sound quality a distant second in the things you look for when buying headphones? Do the rims on your car cost more than the car itself?? Then these are for you!! Welcome to the Beats by Dre Studio headphones! These are what everyone including your favorite athletes and celebrities are wearing. We all know rappers make much better headphones than traditional headphone companies and with these you will be able to listen to your favorite music, just the way Dre does. These phones are off the chain!! They come with 2 cords, a nice box, some papers, batteries, a 1/4 adaptor and an airplane adaptor. These Beats are fashionable and heads will turn when your rockin these cans down the street. The sound leakage is so awesome that they will also be able to hear every word of what your listening too, but who cares bro? Just like the Black Eyed Peas, you'll be rockin dem Beats an they probably want to listen to what your listening to anyway! So do yourself a favor and grab a pair of studios cause these cans is just what the Dr. ordered!
Review 2
The good:
These are lightweight and comfortable. They have a Control Talk wire which is convient and They fold up nice.
The bad:
The sound leakage is atrocious. At 60% volume, not only can my roommate 12 feet away hear the music, he can understand the words. These come with an airplane adaptor, but you would need to listen to you music at really low listening levels to be able to use these on a plane. These are my first set of cans and I really didn't expect them to be as bad in sound quality as they are. My turbine Golds sound better in everyway when compared to these and they are in ears and were $20 less. Im not going to comment on the sound since others with more experiance have. One fatal flaw in these and something to think about in the overall cost of the product is they require batteries to operate. There is no pass-through switch to turn off the noise canceling function. The Beats also have no auto-shutoff of this function if you forget to switch off the noise canceling feature. Which means if you forget to shut your Studios off, the batteries die and since the batteries are dead, you cannot listen to your music. What kind of since does this make? Welcome to the Beats by Dre Studios. I would not recommend these unless you can get them for $130 USD or less. On a side note, Ive read that a lot of the Studios have the screws comming out and people don't know what kind screwdriver is used. It's a Torque 5 (from the website).
Best uses: Ear warmers, showing everyone how well marketing works.


text: We are looking for a nice size kennel to put in our basement that both of our relatively small labs could be contained in during the day. My thought is at least a 5x10 kennel - maybe bigger. Does anyone have any good suggestions? When I shop the various on line sites, I keep coming up with fairly negative reviews of the products. If someone has done something similar, could you please share the information?

|Dble Haul
Hey guys- I got fed up with the lack of a file compression feature in the software that came with my camera so I called Olympus. Once they learned of the model I own, they told me that the compression feature is right on the camera and can be used anytime after a pic is taken. When I asked why this wasn't spelled out in the manual (and belive me, I looked ), they told me that it was an oversight. Big oversight!
It seems that I may be able to straighten out the file size issue without having to rely on any sites for file storage. I'll work on it tonight, and make a general announcement if it does in fact work out.
Thanks again, guys.

|Most internet service providers (ISP) give you 5-10 Mb of webspace free with your account. Typically you use a file transfer protocol (FTP) program to upload the images to your allotted space on the ISP's server. the only snag I've had with this is the ISP migrating things to new servers.

Thanks Nick. Frustrating, isn't it?
I'll look for other options too. Let's keep each other updated.
Just about to update you on this...it seems as though Nikon rotates their session ID's therefore rendering the links useless after some time. MSN communities used to work for me, but I haven't tried in a while. I'm off to see if we can fix this. Urgh...Nikon. I thought we were on to something good.

Another digital/tech question
Now that I've posted a few pics by using the img coding and web addresses for my album at nikonnet.com, I've noticed a peculiar trend. Whithin the first several hours of posting the images here on the site, they show up fine. However, the next day they don't show unless I use the Back button in my browser to go back to the board post list, and then the Forward button to go back to the open post. Check out the Test post and Marabou Shrimp in the bonefish archive, and the marabou shrimp in the warmwater archive and use your browser as I've indicated to see what I'm talking about.
I have several pictures to post, but don't want to if viewing them will be short lived or a pain to access as described above. Any ideas of what might be happening here? Something I might be able to do to prevent this in the first place?
Sorry for the ignorance, but I thought that I might finally have all of this figured out. Thanks.

- 1 (4 to 6-ounce) petite filet of beef
- Pinch salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Gorgonzola and Porcini Mushroom Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4-pound (about 1 cup) dried porcini mushrooms, soaked and strained
- 1 shallot, sliced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 ounces (about 3 tablespoons) Gorgonzola
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
For the beef:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sprinkle both sides of the beef with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe medium skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the filet in the pan. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes a side.
- Transfer the steak to the oven and bake until a meat thermometer reads 130 degrees F. for medium-rare, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the beef from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
For the sauce:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and the shallots and cook until golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the thyme, white wine, salt, and pepper and continue to cook until all of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the Gorgonzola, mayonnaise, and mustard in a food processor and combine until smooth. (Or just whip it up by hand! This is what I did and it still turned out wonderful!)
- Transfer the Gorgonzola mixture to the skillet with mushrooms and shallots. Gently stir the cheese mixture into the mushroom mixture.
- Slice the beef and serve topped with a dollop of the cheese sauce. Reserve leftover sauce for another use.

Single in 2008, twin fin in 2009, Quad in 2010, what's next for 2011? While we wait, we might as well test this latest offer from Starboard, the first test of the very first production Quad board of our modern era.
After the first experiences on protos on Maui that were less than conclusive, we have to admit that our chief tester was not optimistic, but he had to find out.
The fins multiply themselves, with big fins in front
The particularity of this board compared other quad fin protos that we tried is in the placement of the fins: the big pair of fins is in the front: 16cm in front, 11cm in the back. Just like surf boards. The finboxes used are also not the usual US box, but mini–tuttle box and Surfinz boxes in the back. These fin boxes are lighter than the conventional US box. The weight of the board in WoodCarbon won't break records though, with a noted weight of 7.2kg, which is in the average.
Early planing and upwind ability: big surprise!
On the water, totally the opposite of the protos we tried in March in Hawaii, the Starboard immediately surprised us with the traction we got from the fins. There's enough grip to sail the board flat as usual and you can push super hard and still not spin out. This also helps early planing, which is very competitive. Once up and going, you're riding a board that is riding with a lower nose angle, which gives you more control. This lets the board ride fast, but it's especially upwind that you can see a difference against twin fins, even most single fins. The Starboard Quad 81 allowed us to hit some nice jumps in small waves and onshore conditions, thanks to its combination of speed and upwind ability, when on other boards, it really less obvious. In summary, against expectations, the Quad 81 planes up fast and tracks upwind really well. In these two categories, it's comparable to the performance of freewave boards.
Grip and using the rails in the surf
With its compact shape and width, the Quad isn't a technical board to ride and it is forgiving to foot misplacements by the windsurfer. It generates some good speed in small waves, like a fish. What you immediately feel with this board in the wave is, on one hand, the amount of grip you have in a carve, on the bottom turn or on the top turn, and on the other hand, the amount of grip you have when you make contact with the foam. This makes you maintain your grip when finishing turns in white water. You're always in control. It's the same thing when you make late contact with the lip or in the most critical parts of the wave. In more details, we also liked the speed you get in surfing, especially the speed during carving transitions. You're basically faster than single fin or twin fin boards on the rails. This is how the board turns best. The Starboard Quad needs to (or allows you to, depending on your point of view) use the rails more than on average, especially at the end of the tight bottom turns where most boards end up pivoting on your back foot. With the Quad, you can push on the back foot and carve it to turn the best way. The board also has what we call stretch, allowing it to go fast in longer, drawn out turns. The cut back is as aggressive as, if not more than twin fin boards. For more demanding waveriders, we can also adjust the front fins to smaller ones, which will increase even further maneuverability and reactivity.
Even with its width, the control in high–wind and/or at high speed in the wave is good, which means that overall this Starboard does have a very wide range of use. It worked very well as a unique board for a rider of say 78kg, from 5.5 to 4.0.
In summary, we were firstly pleasantly surprised by the behavior of the board outside of the wave: its early planing and upwind traction is really good and makes it an efficient board in onshore conditions. We clearly see a difference with current boards on the market today. In the wave, with its super grip and its speed, the board will allow you to control the board to more critical sections and use the rails more. Your ride, your positioning in the wave and your choice of trajectory becomes closer to the style of surfers – but luckily, you're still windsurfing! Let's see what Starboard's competition will follow with for 2010 now! For us at Wind magazine, this simply means more testing of these new generations of multi fin boards against the classics. See you in the September issue.
Wind Interview with Tiesda You
Tiesda You, Brand manager and designer at Starboard, wanted to keep the development of this board top secret. When we visited their HQ a few months ago, we did spy a prototype in the workshop, but we were so busy with the iSonic R&D story and its cutaway designs we didn't quite latch on. What a shame! To get our revenge, we now bombarded Tiesda's inbox to ask him to give us more details on the development of these production Quad boards.
Wind: when did you guys start with the development?
What did you start from? Twin fin boards?
Our new Quad 76, 81 and 86 are new shapes that have been designed around two and four fins. We finally kept the four fin option, as it made the twin fin option obsolete. Once we finished the shapes, we went back and tested them as single fins (to check out the convertible option) and surprisingly, they worked even better everywhere than the Evos of 2009, whether waveriding or for bump and jump. The Quad 66 and 71 are based on the Evo 66 and Evo 70 shapes of 2009. The key was the placement and selection of the four fins of course.
According to Scott McKercher, one of the key points on the Quads is the choice of fins, with two big ones in front and two small ones in the back. How about the shape itself? Was there a lot of adaptation needed?
Did the work on SUP development help in the development of the Quads?
Our chief tester, Erwan Joffroy, has tested four fin protos before on Maui. To summarise his test, even though he says there could be a breakthrough for advanced riders of high skill level, he noted many disadvantages (not accessible to use, catching waves / take off was a problem, comfort) for the average rider. Are you not worried that this four fin configuration will be too technical for the many riders who buy a waveboard just to ride in high winds with small sails?
What development was done on the fins?
What other wave boards will you have next to the Quads in 2010?
The work on quad fin setups has only just started and even though it's pushed the limits of waveriding and many pros have adopted it, do you think you will work on quad setups on other programs (freeride, freestyle etc.)?
In terms of wave shapes, the best riders in wave windsurfing want to get closer and closer to pure surfing. Where would this R&D take us? An ultra–small SUP Quad with a sail?
Last question: will these new boards influence the profiles of sails? What is Severne working on?

Mortgage Protection Life Insurance is a Term Life Insurance policy that that has special riders that provide for your mortgage payment to be protected if you become disabled or unemployed. Life Insurance, in particular whole or permanent life is the best investment available for the average individual that would like to leave a legacy to their heirs. In the U.S. Life insurance does not go through probate, is not taxed and your heirs have access to their "inheritance" within a few weeks not months or years. In addition whole life builds a cash value that you can access in emergencies or use it like a retirement plan where you withdraw a set amount monthly or annually just like a pension if you start your policy at a young enough age or infuse it with extra cash being careful not to exceed the 7 pay limit. The illustration that you get when purchasing your policy should indicate what that amount is. If it does not – ask for it! The great thing about whole life is your premium payment never goes up no matter how old you get. While it costs more then Term Life initially over time Term insurance premiums become cost prohibitive and you have nothing to show for them. While whole life premiums stay the same for life. Hence the term "whole life".
Term Insurance is pure profit to the carrier as the majority of term policies are never paid out. Most are cancelled due to the increasing premium costs long before the policy owner dies. Term Life has it's uses for protecting your home, short term debt obligations to save you family from financial ruin. However, unless you die young it not very cost effective in the long term.

trying obnam
Obnam 1.0 was released during several months when I had no well-connected server to use for backups. Yesterday I installed a terabyte disk in a basement with a fiber optic network connection, so my backupless time is over.
Now, granted, I have a very multi-layered approach to backups; all my data is stored in git, most of it with dozens of copies automatically maintained, and with archival data managed by git-annex. But I still like to have a "real" backup system underneath, to catch anything else. And to back up those parts of my user's data that I have not given them tools to put into git yet...
My backup server is not my basement, so I need to securely encrypt
the backups stored there. Encrypting your offsite backups is such a good
idea that I've always been surprised at the paucity of tools to do it. I
got by with
duplicity for years, but it's increasingly creaky, and the
few times I've needed to restore, it's been a terrific pain. So I'm excited
to be trying Obnam today.
So far I quite like it. The only real problem is that it can be slow, when there's a transatlantic link between the client and the server. Each file backed up requires several TCP round-trips, and the latency kills the bandwidth. Large files are still sent fast, and obnam uses little resources on either the client or server while running. And this mostly only affects the initial, full backup.
But the encryption and ease of use more than make up for this. The real
killer feature with Obnam's encryption isn't that it's industry-standard
encryption with gpg, that can be trivially enabled with a single option
--encrypt-with=DEADBEEF). No, the great thing about it is its key
I generate a new gpg key for each system I back up. This prevents systems reading each other's backups. But that means you have to backup the backup keys.. or when a system is lost, the backup would be inaccessible.
With Obnam, I can instead just grant my personal gpg key access to
the repository:
obnam add-key --keyid 2512E3C7. Now both the machine's
key and my gpg key can access the data. Great system; can't revoke access,
but otherwise perfect. I liked this so much I stole the design and used
it in git-annex too. :)
I'm also pleased I can lock down
.ssh/authorized_keys on my backup
server, to prevent clients running arbitrary commands. Duplicity runs
ad-hoc commands over ssh, which defeated me from ever locking it down.
Obnam can be easily locked down, like this:
This could still be improved, since clients can still read the whole filesystem with sftp. I'd like to have something like git-annex's git-annex-shell, which can limit access to only a specific repository. Hmm, if Obnam had its own server-side program like this, it could stream backup data to it using a protocol that avoids the roundtrips needed by the SFTP protocol, and fix the latency issue too. Lars, I know you've been looking for a Haskell starter project ... perhaps this is it? :)

I probably should have posted this a long time ago. Apologies.
My boy has tested mild positive for lyme once, mild positive for ehrliciosis once, and high positive for lyme once (requiring treatment).
All this while he was on Vectra-3D, faithfully and carefully applied. I've applied spot-ons to hundreds of dogs here at the kennel, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing. Have never forgotten one of his doses. I don't get him wet for 48 hours before or after a dose.
So I called the folks at Vectra-3D and told them I was not a very happy customer. Immediately they questioned me about his swimming and bathing habits. I told them that he swims and/or gets a bath about 2-3 times per week.
They said that the eficacy of ALL of the spot-ons declines to less than 80 percent by 3 weeks with that level of water exposure. I pointed out that their literature says that it's still effective after swimming or bathing, and was told that the assumption is that the dog baths/swims a couple of times a month, not a couple of times per week. I was told to talk to my vet about "alternative treatment schedules" because they are not allowed to recommend anything that would be considered "off-label" but that "vets are aware that a different treatment schedule is necessary for dogs with high water exposure".
So I talked to my vet. Yep. If your dog has that much water exposure, you need to appy the spot-on treatments every 3 weeks, not once per month. At the end of 3 weeks, only 4 out of 5 ticks are being killed, to put it in different terms.
I called and confirmed this with both Frontline Plus and Advantage. It's true for all of them.
SO....you may think your dog is protected.....but he may not be.
We have gone to an every 3 week dose during tick season here, and in his most recent blood panel he tested negative for all the TBS (we send out a full panel, not an in-office read panel) for the first time in a long time.
BTW, the folks from Vectra gave me 9 free doses because he contracted the TBDs while on Vectra.
