NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
They came — men, women, children and babes in arms — streaming into the Norman High School Commons on Christmas morning around 11, forming two lines that extended out into the cold, waiting to be served a traditional Christmas dinner. They were patient and friendly, somehow knowing that they would receive a warm welcome, good food and hundreds of smiling eyes ready to serve them.
What could be better than having Santa flowing down the lines, greeting them and passing out candy, and The Norman Music Institute's All Stars and Andy Peck's trumpet, providing Christmas music while folks waited to be served at the 27th annual Christmas Day Community Dinner. And we must not forget the Christmas carolers who were brilliant, as always. Was this the best Christmas turnout ever? It was. The dinner distributed 2,135 meals, which included 250 home deliveries, 400 carryout meals and 1,485 meals served through the lines.
As the director of the Norman Christmas Day Community Dinner, I thank those who participated in the 27th annual event hosted in the Norman High School Commons Cafeteria from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The dinner received overwhelming support from volunteers, banks, businesses and private donations again this year.
To witness the spirit of giving from this community is immensely rewarding. The highlight of the day had to be Santa, who, along with the volunteers, distributed toys, gloves, scarves, hats, toiletries, candy and other gifts to children, teens and adults.
Our community must know by now that this dinner is free and is open to everyone — those who may need a place to eat, or who just want to share the Christmas spirit with others. We believe that no one should be alone on Christmas Day.
Assistance and financial support from the banks, businesses and many individuals will be recognized later in a special way in The Transcript.

Lincoln Navigator Maintenance and Repair
Hey all,
I own a 2000 Navi with just over 170k on it. Chronically throughout that last 5 years of my owning the vehicle, I have noticed an odd grinding noise and vibration coming from what seems to be the front right tire while turning. The noise is infrequent but is definitely not normal. I've taken the vehicle into my local Ford dealership and they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle(largely due to the fact that the noise is infrequent), would anyone be able to offer some insight as to what this noise may be stemming from?
Furthermore, I have one more issue that is again, infrequent. From time to time, my navi, when started, make a deafening whining noise and fail to start. When this occurs, I have to retry several times to get the car to start... this again has been looked into by the afore mentioned dealership with little resolve? has anyone had similar problems and would they please offer some insight?

Just recently it started to run rough at idle. Above 55 mph the engine runs rough. Do the ignition coils or control modules needs testing?

Hey all,
Which brand(s) do you guys recommend for upper and lower ball joints? Brake pads? I just bought a salvaged Navigator and the suspension and brake system is completely shot amongst other issues. Any help would be great especially about the ball joints because I see that the suspension is a major issue with the Navigator.
siin Posts: 1Hello I also have a similar problem with my 2006 Lincoln navigator. When its on the road about 45 mph it hesitates and shakes a little and check engine light turns on. From what I have read, lots of people are having the same issue. Many have also said to change spark plugs and coils. What do you think?
anneb1 Posts: 1My 2010 Navigator with 35K miles has stalled twice during or right after prolonged idling in the hot sun with the AC running. It has been in the shop at the dealership for 5 days. They have replicated the problem, but the computer is not showing an error message, so they do not know what to do... Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Thank you!

City school officials have abruptly and "indefinitely" shut down an after-school care program at West Parish Elementary School following an apparent incident between students that has sparked an investigation involving Gloucester police, several sources have confirmed today.
The shutdown of the after-school program which serves about 60 families and 82 children in the West Parish district, which serves students in kindergarten through Grade 5, also follows a note being sent home Friday to families in the after-school program and a Friday night meeting at the school that included parents, Superintendent of Schools Richard Safier, Mayor Carolyn Kirk and Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello.
No officials today would elaborate on the alleged incident that sparked the investigation, but some West Parish parents have told the Times that it involves alleged "inappropriate" behavior on the part of older students in the program.
Safier said that, from the schools' perspective, the investigation is focused on whether there has been proper supervision within the program, which includes three supervisors, one substitute supervisor and serves an average of 35 students per day.
Campanello added this morning that, while he cannot comment on what remains an ongoing investigation, the Police Department is assisting school officials in examining the program's supervision, adding that the GPD joined in the investigation after being contacted by the Essex County District Attorney's Office, which in turn had been contacted by the city schools.
"Right now, our investigation is procedural," Campanello said, adding that there is no confirmation any crime has been committed. "If we were to find it rises to the level of criminal (behavior), then we will go down that path," he said.
Safier said that no supervisors from the program have been placed on administrative leave or suspended; Campanello added that the investigation and other aspects of the case involve only the after-school program, and do not in any way involve the rest of the school or other students or families. All of those tied to the after-school program have bene notified, he said.

Newsroom/Press Releases/
SA Today - Only the DA can stop Jacob Zuma
Helen Zille, Leader of the Democratic Alliance
9 April 2009
It has been a dismal week for constitutional democracy. In dropping the charges against Jacob Zuma for political - not legal reasons - the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) acted irrationally and unlawfully. It violated its own internal policies and it violated the law. Most seriously, it violated the Constitution.
Zuma has not proven his innocence. He has not been acquitted. He has merely been let off the hook by the NPA for reasons that have nothing to with the substantive merits of the case against him. The claim by the Acting National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Mokotedi Mpshe, that Zuma cannot be prosecuted because there was an "abuse of process" by the former head of the Scorpions, Leonard McCarthy, and the former head of the NPA, Bulelani Ngcuka, in determining when to recharge him, is neither here nor there. It is irrelevant. The NPA has not given any indication of how this could have prejudiced Jacob Zuma. There is still a solid case against Zuma, based on a mountain of evidence, with good prospects of success in court. The most telling aspect of this whole fiasco is that the prosecution team, which has gathered over 93,000 documents in the 8 years it has been investigating the charges, strongly opposed withdrawing the case because it still believes that it can win in court.
Another highly suspect dimension of the NPA's decision was the timing of the announcement. Jacob Zuma's trial was set down for August this year. Why would the NPA withdraw the case in April, just two weeks before a general election? In fact, it made the announcement even before it had authenticated the selective snippets of tape recordings on which it based its decision. The unseemly haste can only be politically motivated. The withdrawal of the charges gave the ANC the election boost it needed, enabling it to falsely claim that Jacob Zuma has been vindicated, and indeed that he was innocent from the start. Very few serious observers are in any doubt that by its actions, the NPA has, yet again, gravely abused due process and has allowed an institution of state that must safeguard the principle of "equality before the law" to be abused by the ruling party. When the truth finally emerges (and we will do everything necessary to ensure that it does) everyone in the NPA that has abused due process for political reasons, must face charges in court.
The DA, as the official opposition, is doing all we can to safeguard our constitutional democracy. That is why on Tuesday, we filed an urgent application for a judicial review of the NPA's decision in the Pretoria High Court. We will fight to the bitter-end, using all the legal measures available to us, to ensure that justice is served. Zuma must have his day in court, so that he can be acquitted or convicted on the basis of evidence examined and cross-examined by a court of law. All the other evidence in possession of the NPA that points to criminal conduct by McCarthy and Ngcuka must be heard in court, too. And if Advocate Mpshe and his colleagues are found to have acted unlawfully in withdrawing charges against Jacob Zuma, they too must face the music.
The DA filed its court application, not because we harbour any ill-intent towards any individual, but because this matter goes to the heart of protecting and defending constitutional democracy.
It is in the interest of every single South African (including ANC supporters) that we defend the Constitution. We are the only party that can stop Zuma and his ANC-clique from abusing their power and undermining the Constitution. Only the DA is big enough - and resolute enough - to stop Zuma from taking us down the path of cronyism, corruption and power abuse towards the criminalised state. This is the path to the notorious "failed state" so prevalent on our continent.
This is the moment for all opposition voters to realise that dividing their votes among a host of small parties only benefits the ANC. Indeed it is part of the ANC's "divide-and-rule" strategy. That is why the ANC supports the "volkstaat" policies of the Freedom Front Plus, and forms alliances with the ID against the DA. Yesterday, on the eve of a general election, the ID in George voted with the ANC against the DA on the adjustment budget, just like the ID voted for an ANC Mayor in Cape Town in 2006. Simply put, the ID cannot be trusted not to go into a coalition with the ANC.
It is time for opposition parties to learn: When the opposition is divided the ANC wins. Now, for the first time the ANC is seriously divided. We must not waste this opportunity. When the ANC is divided, the DA is the only party big enough to beat it if all opposition voters stand together. That is the lesson we must learn quickly as we go into this election.
That is why a vote for a small opposition party is not only a wasted vote. It enables the ANC to win, when they should be losing. The DA is the only party that can be relied upon to stand up to the ANC's power abuse.
The role of the parliamentary opposition is to ask difficult questions of the executive; to expose corruption and mismanagement; to hold government to account by exercising proper oversight; to think ahead; and to present alternatives on all policy issues. But most of the other opposition parties shirk these responsibilities.
In the 2008 parliamentary session, five of the small opposition parties in the National Assembly (NA) did not ask a single written or oral question, introduce a single Private Member's Bill or propose a single motion. The DA was responsible for 1 512 (or 86%) - of the 1757 written questions submitted in the NA. The DA outperformed all other political parties in proposing motions for debate. In 2008, the DA introduced 36 (or 76.6%) of the 47 motions in the National Assembly.
Our Members of Parliament diligently attend committee meetings, where most of the real oversight is exercised. The Freedom Front Plus's record, by contrast, is disgraceful. Last year, between January and August, the FF+ attended only 35 out of a total of 755 committee meetings. This makes a mockery of their claim to stand up for their voters' rights. You can't protect people's rights if you don't turn up in Parliament.
The DA is also the only opposition party with an alternative vision to the ANC, underpinned by a comprehensive set of carefully researched and workable policies. This is because we are not just an opposition party; we are a party of government.
Our open, opportunity approach to government is a non-racial approach that focuses on expanding opportunities for all. It is designed to give every South African a fair shot at making a success of their life, regardless of the circumstances of their birth. It is diametrically opposed to the ANC's "closed, crony society for some" which is about reserving opportunities for comrades.
We are showing how our open, opportunity philosophy translates into action in all the places we govern. And this is how we will take on the ANC and win: by showing that life is better for all the people where the DA governs.
The DA's non-racial approach threatens the ANC. The ANC would prefer to have a multitude of ineffectual opposition parties each representing a tiny ethnic or racial niche of voters. That way, the ANC could govern in perpetuity. That the ANC is threatened by the DA was evident in Jacob Zuma's 'divide-and-rule' tactics last week when he said that some South Africans have a greater claim to being South African than others.
Parties such as the FF+ and the Minority Front (MF) play into the ANC's hands by openly positioning themselves in ethnic "niche" markets. Other parties, like the Independent Democrats and the Inkatha Freedom Party, try to disguise their niche, but are also effectively ethnic parties, seeking to protect and advance the interests of a single minority group.
As for COPE, although it purports to be a non-racial alternative to the ANC, whether it actually subscribes to the vision of an open, opportunity society is still not clear. The party was formed by Thabo Mbeki's key lieutenants - some of whom helped refine the closed, crony model of governance when they were in power. Can they now build an alternative to this model? This election campaign has thrown up some doubts. In particular, COPE has been too equivocal for comfort about whether it will go into coalition with the ANC. Its cause was not helped when it chose a convicted fraudster in Allan Boesak to run for Premier of the Western Cape. Perhaps this is why the polls show that COPE has not emerged as the force that some analysts predicted.
The fact is that the only real non-racial alternative to the ANC is the DA. We are tried and tested, and we have an excellent track record in government. Where we are in opposition, we hold the ANC to account. Where we are in government, we are steadfastly and consistently implementing our open, opportunity-driven policies. This has resulted in a quicker delivery of better services, more transparency in government, and less crime.
With your vote, we can achieve the same successes in provincial government. We can also keep the ANC below a two-thirds majority and stop Zuma and his faction from abusing their power and walking over the Constitution. But we need your vote to do it. So don't waste your vote on a smaller opposition party. Vote DA and vote to win!

Secular fundamentalists, it turns out, have their own version of Sharia law.
It is just as unbending, rigid and dangerous to liberty as the Muslim kind. And secular Sharia has ten commandments, just like the Judeo-Christian tradition does.
The Ten Commandments of the Judeo-Christian tradition supplied the foundation for the American political experiment. As George Washington said, "Of all the disposition and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports."
By "Religion," Washington meant Christianity, and by "morality," he meant the Ten Commandments. In other words, according to the Father of our country, it is impossible to have political prosperity without building on the platform of the Christian religion and Christian morality.
But this is the very thing secular fundamentalists despise. So they have, in effect, written their own moral code on tablets of stone, to replace the moral code on which the Founders established our political and cultural life.
These new commandments must be obeyed, and those who flout them will receive the most severe and unyielding punishments, including censure, excommunication, (say, from graduate counseling programs), and fines in the forms of legal fees to the secular imams at the ACLU.
Here, then, are the Ten Commandments of secular Sharia:
1. "Government, not Yahweh, is God." Secular fundamentalists want us to look to government for everything we were once taught to look for from God. Government is all knowing, all powerful, all wise, all caring. You know, all the things God used to be.
2. "You shall have no gods, period." The goal of secular fundamentalists is the extermination of any and all mentions of God and Christ in the public arena. The only exceptions to the "no god" rule will be for Gaia and Allah. Gaia is to be worshiped, and any blasphemy against her, by plundering her for such things as the fuel on which the world runs, will be met with the severest punishment and condemnation.
3. "You shall not take the name of the homosexual agenda or Islam in vain." If you do, we will land on you like a falling safe. Profanity, blasphemy, vulgarity, obscenity, pornography, all are fine. Criticize homosexual conduct, on the other hand, and we will cause the wrath of our god to descend upon you as a consuming fire. You will be silenced, marginalized and treated as a leper. We secularists have freedom of speech but you cretinous conservatives do not. If you have a problem with sexually deviant behavior, you are by definition a homophobic hatemonger and we don't have to listen to you.
4. "Observe Halloween, Labor Day and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as holy days. Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving, on the other hand, must be wiped off school calendars as if they never existed."
5. "Honor your father and mother - by which we mean liberal politicians, since they have turned government into your mommy and your daddy." No husband, no problem: government will be the head of your home. No father, no problem: government will be your provider and raise your children for you.
6. "You shall not murder - unless it's a defenseless baby in the womb."
7. "You shall not commit adultery - unless it's with another man's wife. Fornication and sodomy without repercussions and penalty are okay too. And we're working on polygamy and pedophilia." Anyone who disagrees, and says anything remotely critical of such behaviors, will be subject to the wrath of the holy and righteous prophets of secular Sharia in the out-of-the-mainstream media, who will call down fire and brimstone on those who dare to challenge the sexual orthodoxy of leftist libertines.
8. "You shall not steal - unless it's to plunder from the producers what they have earned to give to the non-producers what they have not earned." Anyone who complains about this involuntary transfer of wealth will be judged by the secular mullahs as evil, greedy capitalists and silenced. Right after they have been ripped off.
9. "You shall not bear false witness - unless it is to tell blatant lies about the Constitution, American history, the economy, unemployment figures and drilling for oil." As long as you are lying to advance the power and reach of government, or get a leftist politician reelected, it's okay. Secularists have their own version of taqqiya, just like the Muslims do.
10. "You shall not covet anything - as long as it belongs to people who are poorer than you. If they have more money than you, they are evil oppressors who must be plundered of their ill-gotten wealth by our government overlords so it can be redistributed to the lazy, shiftless and irresponsible."
I miss anything?

Former MTA Chairman and CEO Joe Lhota is on the fast track to a mayoral bid.
According to media reports, at a New York Building Congress luncheon Monday, Lhota said that he intends to file papers to run for mayor this week.
"I would not have left the MTA, a job and position that I loved, if I was not going to run for mayor of New York," he said yesterday.
Lhota stepped down from his position heading the city's transit agency last month in order to explore running in the 2013 race.
When he announced his resignation on December 19, Lhota said that he would make his decision on running for New York City mayor in early January.
A former deputy mayor for operations during the Rudy Giulianni administration, Lhota is expected to run as a Republican and get the endorsement of his ex-boss.

The Daily Star
---- — Richard L. Polgar
ONEONTA — Dr. Richard Louis Polgar of Oneonta, passed away Saturday afternoon, Jan. 12, 2013, at the Philadelphia Cancer Treatment Center of America, while surrounded by his family. The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, which Polgar vigorously battled over the last year. He was 62.
Richard was born April 22, 1950, in New Brunswick, N.J., to the late Theodore and Elizabeth Polgar.
In 1972, he married Barbara Diane Bystrek, who was by his side 24 hours a day.
Richard attended Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, Pa., and graduated from the College of Dental Medicine at Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1975.
He moved to Oneonta in 1976, to open up his dental practice. Known throughout the area as "Doc," Richard was a noted dentist, avid sportsman, world traveler, and committed family man.
He was also recognized for his unique brand of humor and his tremendous giving nature. His deadpan delivery was quixotic to some and enjoyable to others.
He was particularly notorious for ordering a half-cheese/half-sausage pizza and convincing an unsuspecting waitress that the pie needed to be returned because the sausage was on the wrong side, against his Italian upbringing. The waitress took back the pizza, apologizing that the sausage was not on the left side like he wanted. The owner of the restaurant figured out the ruse by simply rotating the pizza.
Richard was also 100 percent Hungarian.
On the giving front, "Doc" was an active gardener who often gave away many of his exotic plants, flowers, and blueberries that he grew in his greenhouse and backyard. He was a man who was most comfortable playing in the dirt, fishing in a stream or lake in any weather, or hunting in the woods.
Fascinated by other cultures and cuisines, he traveled the world many times over with his wife and family. One of his favorite activities while abroad was scuba diving, a hobby he documented with colorful pictures of fish, coral reef, and sharks.
For those who knew him, he had an infectious zest for life and was seemingly always on the move.
One of Richard's proudest accomplishments was building and running a successful dental practice, Bearable Dentistry, located at 7 Dietz St., in Oneonta. While most people associate dentistry with pain, he went out of his way to make his patients feel at ease. Whether it was his confident demeanor, masterful work, or the eclectic music playing in the background, he had a gift for relaxing patients.
He was well-known for the thematic rooms at Bearable Dentistry, each space being outfitted with an array of memorabilia. There is a room dedicated to his nature photography, his Civil War collection, the music of his youth, and the New York Yankees.
Despite battling pancreatic cancer for the last year, Richard was still able to participate in many of his favorite activities. This past summer he could be seen zipping around Otsego Lake at 70 mph on his SeaDoo personal watercraft, after having undergone multiple rounds of chemotherapy and aggressive surgeries. He tried to instill in those around him that life should be lived to the fullest.
Another important moment in his life was attending a speech this past November by the Dalai Lama at his first son's alma mater, Syracuse University. Although he was extremely ill throughout the talk, he was able to maintain his composure and listen to the Dalai Lama's words of wisdom. He was at ease.
Richard leaves behind his beloved wife of 40 years, Barbara; and his four sons, Richard Jr., Thomas, David and Steven Polgar. He is survived by his two siblings, Dr. Theodore Polgar and Linda Dougherty; along with two grandchildren, Richie and Conor Polgar.
A viewing will occur at the Lester R. Grummons Funeral Home, 14 Grand St., Oneonta, from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, 2013.
A Mass will be held at St. Mary's Church at 39 Walnut St., Oneonta, at 9 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013.
Dr. Polgar loved flowers and plants. Any flowers should be sent to Grummons Funeral Home.
Any donations in his name should be directed to Cancer Treatment Center of America, 1331 East Wyoming St., Philadelphia, PA 19124.
For more information, please call Bearable Dentistry at 432-5444.
Condolences to the family may be made online by visiting the website at www.grummonsfuneralhome.com.
Arrangements are by the Lester R. Grummons Funeral Home, Oneonta.

I create a file in Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler, import the surface (LandXML), then import the center lines of railways (DWG). Configures the surface and railways. Then measure the distance between the two center lines Railway in Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler and AutoCad Civil 3D and I can see that the sizes do not match. Help, please!
Civil 3D
Solved! Go to Solution.
One thing you could do is draw a grid of lines in acad 10' apart.
Then plot as jpg or pdf (then convert to jpg), and bring into acad.
Make image to scale, and make the world file (jgw).
then Pull that image into AIM as a reference, and do the dimension test.
Then we will have an idea if AIM is doing things right.
I say this becase I have had no problems with images lining up with surfaces in AIM.
Since that part of the prog seems predicatbler and well behaved, we must check if its scaling things or not.
I have many of the same questions, as there is no way to draw a line from some coordinate in AIM, to verify anything.
Correct me if wrong, as that ability would be the first way I would check scale stuff like this.
I can't read the distance in your AIM screen shot, but keep in mind that the distance you are seeing in the dwg is 2 dimensional. Then, when you import it into AIM, it will follow the surface and when you measure it, it will be different. I just did a test and confirmed that the AIM distance is the hypotenuse of a triangle defined by the 2d length in the dwg and the change in elevation between the 2 railway endpoints.

Thank you very much but the problem was in the coordinate systems.

Spatchcocked Turkey for T-giving--can I roast this on top of a bed of carrots and celery?
I was planning to put the turkey in a roasting pan, the bottom of which will be filled with carrots, celery, and onions, mostly carrots as they are one of the sides. I've looked at many recipes for spatchcocked turkey, both here and on other sites, and none address this. Would this be problematic or not? Thanks!
You're planning to use the carrots as the side? I'd worry that they'll be greasy and over-cooked. I do this with potatoes and onions under a chicken, but I keep the potatoes large and a chicken cooks quickly. If you're only planning to use the veggies to flavor the turkey drippings, it will be fine.
re: katecm
Second on Kate's advice. Start the turkey off skin side down in a high heat oven, then allow 30-45 min. Turn the turkey over, skin side up, and watch carefully so skin doesn't burn. Your method of mirepoix - carrots, onion, celery is exactly how I did the spatchcocked turkey I served last year. Hopefully, you will have an easier time than I did removing the backbone, it required 3 people! I would do the carrot veggie side separately, for less time than the turkey, parboiling the carrots first. You may want to baste them with turkey juices for flavoring. Good Luck!
Thanks, kate and Diane. I've only ever made one whole turkey before and that one was smoked in my smoker over the Memorial Day weekend. My dad always did the cooking for Thanksgiving (and Mom did the dishes--she hates to cook, so it was a fair trade), but I wanted to do something different to give my sister and me a chance to do a fun run/walk in the morning. Dad always roasts the carrots with the bird and they do turn out fabulously flavored, but they aren't cut into small chunks. Kate, good to know that you've done this successfully with potatoes and onions and chicken.
And @Diane--thanks for the temperature/timing tips. And I think I'll ask my butcher to remove the backbone!
Couldn't one do the spatchcocked turkey on a bed of bread or other stuffing?
re: Joebob
re: Joebob
re: Joebob
I've done this a couple of times, and the stuffing is the Best Ever. However, since the stuffing absorbs the drippings we would normally use for gravy, this year I am going to put the stuffing on a wire mesh rack, and hope to create a resevoir to catch at least enougth grease to make the gravy. I don't know if it will work or not, but will give it a try.
The turkey also cooks quickly this way. You really don't have to worry about the turkey and stuffing cooking at different temperatures, since they are both quite forgiving.

Terminator: Salvation vs. Star Trek
Is Terminator: Salvation too much of a throwback film?
By Robert Schlesinger, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
When Star Trek came out I blogged that it could represent (or be a leading indicator of) a change in the national mood. We went through a post-9/11 period in movies and television where our movies were dark and gritty and our heroes were reluctant, tortured (sometimes literally as in Casino Royale) and the bad guys were ascendant. Think of Lord of the Rings, the Batman films, and Battlestar Galactica , to name a few. J.J. Abrams's Star Trek had a different tone—a planet-killing villain, yes, but its mood is optimistic and upbeat, punctuated by trauma. The post-9/11 era movies were traumatic and stressful but occasionally relieved by success or fleeting happiness. One could describe Star Trek as a Barack Obama movie and the others as Dick Cheney flicks, tonally speaking.
I haven't yet seen Terminator: Salvation, but judging by the reviews, it strikes me as a throwback movie—a relic from the post-9/11 films. The bad guys are winning; the hero is dour and angry (is literally Batman, in fact); everything is destruction and decay. Take this review from TNR's The Plank, which is fairly representative of the reviews I've read:
What's missing is much of anything that could be plausibly described as fun. Director McG—best known for his work on music videos, commercials, and the Charlie's Angels movies—paints his post-apocalyptic landscape in a palette of sand and steel, as if color itself had been bleached from the world. But in contrast to The Dark Knight (one of the obvious models for this reboot), he fails to imbue his grim vision with any depth, texture, or complexity. A slender, silly movie that is upfront about its silliness (say, Star Trek) can be a giddy pleasure; a slender, silly movie that presents itself as an unflinching portrait of human endurance is setting itself up for failure.
I'll be curious to see what kind of business Terminator does both this weekend and going forward, especially as compared to Star Trek. I'm not sure the film will suit the country's mood, but we'll see.

Wow!!!!! Thanks for sharing Patricia. Now that is real talent, not only in creating the scene but also in photographing it with the correct lighting and angle. It's amazing. Reminded me of the Kraft salad dressing commercial.
I know, it's so amazing - to think someone could imagine this and then actually make it come to life! And every single item is edible… from the lasagna noodle "curtains" to the thinly sliced smoke salmon "water", I absolutely love each and every one! Everytime I look, I recognize something new.
Thanks for the link, Patrincia! I had to laugh at the "balloons." Wonderful!

News: SOHH's Best of 2010: Favorite Fake-Outs
Wednesday, Dec 22, 2010 1:00PM
[As we prepare to say goodbye to 2010, SOHH highlights the most outrageous scandals that took place in hip-hop this year, and had everyone glued to their monitors in shock.]
1. Nicki Minaj's Booty: Real or Plastic? (May 17)
When rapper Nicki Minaj burst onto the scene last year her talent as an artist had a number of people talking, but it seems that another asset of Nicki's also became a much talked about topic of conversation. In a recent interview with the New York Post, Nicki Minaj speaks on the butt pad/butt implants rumors. "Absolutely not," said Nicki Minaj when asked about using butt pads or getting implants. "People will pick anything to talk about, and that happens to be the thing at the moment. I love being a conversation piece." (New Nicki Minaj)
Who's phony, who's fake, that's the question we all asked ourselves repeatedly this year. Unfortunately, while we kept abreast of Nicki Minaj's lyric, we couldn't avoid keeping a closer eye on all her junk she puts out there. And we're not talking about her album.
2. Rick Ross' SeXXX Tape: Don't Believe The Hype? (September 23)
Is this 50 Cent up to something? Was sent a link from thisis50.com and they were saying there is a Rick Ross sex tape. I found the mere thought hilarious. I don't know if Ross would get caught out there like that, but the say there is a "non-nude." All I can say is that the video is incredibly blurry and it shows a man with a beard with a woman in a dress. Somebody says it may be before the fame Rick Ross has had this far in. IF Ross leaded this himself, it would be genius. LOL! (Illseed)
The idea of seeing Rick Ross in "any" sex tape with "any" woman is just enough to make us throw up inside our mouths. The alleged sex tape footage not only had us laughing but looking at Rick Ross' Twitter account every minute to see if he would confirm or deny this insanity.
3. Chelsea Handler & 50 Cent: More Than "Best Friends" or "P.I.M.P."-in The Media? (November 30)
With her usual brand of deadpan humor, talk show host Chelsea Handler discussed her rumored relationship with rapper 50 Cent in an appearance on the Tonight Show Tuesday -- although she left a little ambiguity as to whether or not they're an item. Handler, 35, told Leno they're just friends, and noted the rapper hasn't met her family yet. The comic, who recently returned from a lavish weekend in Mexico with pal Jennifer Aniston, joked she "can't bring 50 Cent with me, because he's not a strong swimmer." "It's Fiddy Cent, isn't it?" Leno replied. "I don't know, I call him Curtis when we're having sex," she joked (maybe). "No, but he does have a real name ... Curtis ... I don't know, I should find out ... Curtis Cent!" Handler said of the 35-year-old "Candy Shop" singer. She quickly added: "we're just friends." (Peace FM Online)
Now this was a rumor we really fell in love with. Think about it, who tells more jokes and has more fun with their careers than 50 Cent and Chelsea Handler? Whether they're really getting down for real or for laughs, their "union" is still enough for us to wonder if Handler will end up with a "25 Cent" mini-me in the near future.
4. Kat Stacks & Soulja Boy Jr. On The Way: Baby By Me, Baby? (November 2)
"I'm having @souljboy baby"
"I'm having a boy @SouljaBoy I love u babydaddy"
"In da car with @cubanalust the godmother of me n @SouljaBoy baby" (Soulja Boy's Twitter)
Wow, can you imagine a Soulja Boy Jr., or saying "Hello, Kitty" to a baby Kat Stacks? If these Tweets from Kat Stacks were true, then it would support the idea that two Internet stars could manage to retard the human race.
5. Dr. Dre's Detox Release Date...LOL (November 29)
Not that we believe him or anything, but Dr. Dre announced his long-awaited album Detox is set for a February 2011 release. But, he's probably lying, and we don't know why keep going back to him after he makes promises like this and just keeps us waiting. We should probably just go back home and live with our mother while we think things over and try to decide if he's worth believing this time. Detox will feature guest appearances from Dre's friends Eminem, the Game, La Roux, and Jay-Z along with Snoop Dogg and Akon, who appeared on the single "Kush", which will receive an official release on Sunday when it becomes available for download. (Prefix Mag)
Detox? Release date? Riiiiiight.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for SOHH's Best Of 2010: Favorite Kat (Stacks) Fights!

Learning Nessus for Penetration Testing — Save 50%
Master how to perform IT infrastructure security vulnerability assessments using Nessus with tips and insights from real-world challenges faced during vulnerability assessment with this book and ebook
These days, security is the most vital subject for any organization irrespective of their size or the kind of the business they do. The primary reason for this is that organizations don't want to lose their reputation or business over compromises affecting security; secondly, they have to meet legal and regulatory requirements. When it comes to technical security of the infrastructure, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (PT or PenTest) play the most vital role. This article by Himanshu Kumar, the author of Learning Nessus for Penetration Testing, illustrates what a PT or PenTest is, why it is required and how to set up and manage Nessus for your organization.
This article will introduce you to Nessus, a tool for vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. We will also cover the following topics:
- Vulnerability Assessment
- Penetration testing
- Introduction to Nessus
- Installing Nessus on different platforms
- Updating Nessus plugins
- Nessus user management
- Nessus system configuration
(For more resources related to this topic, see here.)
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Vulnerability Assessment ( VA) and Penetrating Testing ( PT or PenTest ) are the most common types of technical security risk assessments or technical audits conducted using different tools. These tools provide best outcomes if they are used optimally. An improper configuration may lead to multiple false positives that may or may not reflect true vulnerabilities. Vulnerability assessment tools are widely used by all, from small organizations to large enterprises, to assess their security status. This helps them with making timely decisions to protect themselves from these vulnerabilities. Vulnerability Assessments and PenTests using Nessus. Nessus is a widely recognized tool for such purposes. This section introduces you to basic terminology with reference to these two types of assessments.
Vulnerability in terms of IT systems can be defined as potential weaknesses in system/infrastructure that, if exploited, can result in the realization of an attack on the system.
An example of a vulnerability is a weak, dictionary-word password in a system that can be exploited by a brute force attack (dictionary attack) attempting to guess the password. This may result in the password being compromised and an unauthorized person gaining access to the system.
Vulnerability Assessment is a phase-wise approach to identifying the vulnerabilities existing in an infrastructure. This can be done using automated scanning tools such as Nessus, which uses its set of plugins corresponding to different types of known security loopholes in infrastructure, or a manual checklist-based approach that uses best practices and published vulnerabilities on well-known vulnerability tracking sites. The manual approach is not as comprehensive as a tool-based approach and will be more time-consuming. The kind of checks that are performed by a vulnerability assessment tool can also be done manually, but this will take a lot more time than an automated tool.
Penetration Testing has an additional step for vulnerability assessment, exploiting the vulnerabilities. Penetration Testing is an intrusive test, where the personnel doing the penetration test will first do a vulnerability assessment to identify the vulnerabilities, and as a next step, will try to penetrate the system by exploiting the identified vulnerabilities.
Need for Vulnerability Assessment
It is very important for you to understand why Vulnerability Assessment or Penetration Testing is required. Though there are multiple direct or indirect benefits for conducting a vulnerability assessment or a PenTest, a few of them have been recorded here for your understanding.
Risk prevention
Vulnerability Assessment uncovers the loopholes/gaps/vulnerabilities in the system. By running these scans on a periodic basis, an organization can identify known vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructure in time. Vulnerability Assessment reduces the likelihood of noncompliance to the different compliance and regulatory requirements since you know your vulnerabilities already. Awareness of such vulnerabilities in time can help an organization to fi x them and mitigate the risks involved in advance before they get exploited. The risks of getting a vulnerability exploited include:
- Financial loss due to vulnerability exploits
- Organization reputation
- Data theft
- Confidentiality compromise
- Integrity compromise
- Availability compromise
Compliance requirements
The well-known information security standards (for example, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and PA DSS) have control requirements that mandate that a Vulnerability Assessment must be performed.
A few countries have specific regulatory requirements for conducting Vulnerability Assessments in some specific industry sectors such as banking and telecom.
The life cycles of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
This section describes the key phases in the life cycles of VA and PenTest. These life cycles are almost identical; Penetration Testing involves the additional step of exploiting the identified vulnerabilities.
It is recommended that you perform testing based on the requirements and business objectives of testing in an organization, be it Vulnerability Assessment or Penetration Testing. The following stages are involved in this life cycle:
- Scoping
- Information gathering
- Vulnerability scanning
- False positive analysis
- Vulnerability exploitation (Penetration Testing)
- Report generation
The following figure illustrates the different sequential stages recommended to follow for a Vulnerability Assessment or Penetration Testing:
In this article, we covered an introduction to Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing, along with an introduction to Nessus as a tool and steps on installing and setting up Nessus.

good weather for ducks
It seems we're slipping into the perpetual wetness of winter in london, which just makes getting punctures that much more fun.
I shouldn't complain I guess because at least it's not that cold yet, and on longer rides the wetness and inner warmth almost becomes comfortable in a gross kind of way.
Merry Christmas!

Rush hour!
London spots
I just got an iphone so ive been so stoked on being able to document london spots without forgetting about them later. I think its best when you can make a route from spot to spot. These scenarios are pretty sketchy and difficult to ride which makes you so much more creative in my opinion. Which is what fixed tricks should be all about not just hitting the local skatepark blasting fly outs. Not that im hating i still dig that shit and wish i could backflip. I just think there is a more interesting skill to finding and riding ambiguous environments.

Scarinci, Giordano lift Jaspers in Battle of the Bronx
Freshman pitcher Michael Scarinci of Nanuet and senior Mike Giordano of Bedford turned in key relief efforts as the Manhattan College baseball team defeated Bronx rival Fordham University, 6-4, at Houlihan Park at Jack Coffey Field on the Rams' campus.
Scarinci, who was graduated from Pearl River HS, got the final out of the sixth inning stranding a runner on third base, while Giordano, a Fox Lane HS alum, pitched an efficient eighth inning in his first appearance since March 24 after recovering from an injury.
Manhattan junior centerfielder Anthony Vega of Patchogue scored Joe Rock of Carmel with a bunt single in the fifth inning to break a scoreless battle.
Zach Small of Pelham Manor pitched one and a third innings in relief for the Rams, allowing no runs.
Manhattan (21-23) hopes to carry its momentum into the weekend when it returns to MAAC action at Fairfield University (20-23). The Jaspers will begin the three game set on Saturday with a doubleheader beginning at noon.
Fordham (19-29) opens a three-game series at home against the University of Rhode Island (26-19) on Friday at 7 p.m. The teams meet again on Saturday at 1 p.m., and on Sunday at noon.
Mortarboard musings
- Junior attack Paul Moreau of Pearl River finished the season as the ninth-leading scorer on the Manhattan College lacrosse team. The Jaspers closed out a 5-9 campaign with a 12-4 loss to Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) opponent Siena at Gaelic Park in Riverdale. Moreau appeared in 11 games for the Jaspers, starting six, netting three goals and five assists for eight points.
- Springfield College senior Greg Marakovits of Rocky Hill, CT, struck out 12 batters to propel the second-seeded Pride to a 3-1 victory over fourth-seeded Worcester Polytechnic Institute in an elimination game of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Baseball Tournament at Govoni Field in Babson, MA. Freshman outfielder/catcher Ryan O'Rourke, a former two-sport standout at Tappan Zee HS, has played in nine games, starting four, since being elevated to the varsity.

Why can't I view the entire calendar for the program?
When I click on the calendar, it only took me to my very first day of the program. I couldn't see past that day. Am I doing something wrong? I started the Cardio Sculpt program on Saturday. I'd like to be able to see what is coming so I can choose additional workouts to do.kellylutz18065 by:
by: RedcrossReborn
What screen were you on when you clicked calendar? When I click on the calendar button I get a pop-up with the whole month and it shows the upcoming workouts for the program.
Strange. I clicked the "View Full Calendar" link and it worked fine for me. Maybe you should contact Support? Could be a technical issue.
I clicked in and out a few times, it worked! Thanks. Must have been a glitch.

Carpenters Middle School principal Rob Britt is getting a new job.
Monday evening the Blount County School Board unanimously approved Britt as the new schools director. He will replace current schools director Alvin Hord who is retiring at the end of June after more than seven years on the job.
Britt thanked the board for the vote and said he was humbled by the chance. As for his philosophy, Britt said a major part of a successful school is the culture. "It begins with the vision. You begin with the end in mind. What is this that you want to create? I preach this to my teachers all the time. Maximize the academic potential of each child," he said. "When everybody buys into that vision, that creates that culture for great things to happen."
Britt started Carpenters Middle School and said it was an honor and privilege to start a school from scratch. "I was in charge of planning the operation of the school and hiring teachers, many of whom have been with me for eight years," he said. "They built a phenomenal culture where the focus was on educating students. It was a pleasure to watch them work everyday. I've developed such a wonderful relationship with that staff."
Britt acknowledged that one of the challenges he will have will be working with tight budget constraints. "We need to really focus on three primary components: effective teaching, superior learning and building relationships. Do those really, really well and most everything else will take care of itself," he said.
Britt said one of his priorities is developing the budget for the upcoming year. Britt said he looked forward to working with Hord and the school board to develop the schools spending plan. "I've never built an $80 million budget. I'll work hard to learn all I can," he said.
The board members voted unanimously in favor of Britt. John Davis made a statement before casting his vote.
"I think we had four excellent candidates, four whom I think were capable of being excellent superintendents," he said. "It's a shame we can't bring them all in as a team."
Charles Finley said all the candidates had good input. "Each one gave very good suggestions about what Blount County should do," he said.
Britt thanked the board of education for putting confidence in him to lead the system. "I'm really humbled by this. It is a true honor. I look forward to building a highly functional team and moving us forward," he said.
Britt thanked his wife Liz and their children. "She and our three children are very supportive. They know it will be a challenge sometimes," he said.
Britt also recognized his staff at Carpenters Middle School, many of whom were in attendance in anticipation the board would choose Britt. "I want to thank the Carpenters Middle School staff. They came of their own accord, and I am truly humbled," he said.
Britt has been principal at Carpenters Middle School since January 2001. He was assistant principal at William Blount High School from 1994 to 2000. Prior to that, he was the choral music teacher at William Blount.
Britt received a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Shenandoah University and Conservatory of Music. He has a Master of Music from the University of Tennessee and a Master of Education from Lincoln Memorial University.
Britt and his wife, Liz, have three children: Robbie, 16; Rachel, 13; and Reece, 6. All three attend Webb School of Knoxville where Liz is a music teacher.
The other finalists for the position were Dr. Jane Morton, Blount County's supervisor of grades 6-12; Dr. Steve Moser, coordinator of alternative programs at Everett Learning Opportunity Center; and Dr. B.J. Worthington, chief academic officer for the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System in Clarksville.
