The problem with this analysis is that complexity cannot be guaranteed, and for the most part will be circumvented by your end-users. Whether you give them 94 characters or 65,000 characters to choose from, most will choose to include the same 32 characters (several studies have discussed this, including this Microsoft debate).
This means that the effective password space for most environments is 32^L, plus a few more characters. In the study cited above, 10 percent of the cracked passwords only used the included 32 characters. It's important to note that this was a sample of passwords within a company that had a higher state of security than most organizations.
And because most users also use dictionary words as the root to their "complex" password, and follow other common conventions (capitalized letters are at the beginning, numbers are at the end), a simple hybrid attack will break most of them in less than a day. Trust me, I know -- I do it for a living.
There is no easy way to force true password complexity in most environments without a software addition, other than to generate truly random passwords and hand them out to users. They will probably hate you for doing so, but the greater concern is that writing down their passwords makes them even weaker than noncomplex passwords.
If you can't guarantee true password complexity (and you probably can't) length is your best bet. I'd guess that a typical good, knowledgeable password hacker can crack up to nine-character passwords within normal levels of ability and resources. At 10 characters, it becomes very hard to crack, regardless of complexity.
So, when trying to increase the strength of your passwords, my advice is to consider length as much or more than you consider complexity. For my money, length is all the protection I need. Make your admin and root passwords 15 or more characters long and forget about complexity -- at 15 characters-plus, they are all but uncrackable.
If you still don't believe me, participate in my password cracking challenge. Win $100 and books. Odds are that you'll crack the 10-character complex challenge long before the 15-character no-complexity password.

Appearance - Dark brown with maybe a hint of red. Appears clear. Medium-tall light brown head with good persistence.
Smell - Sweet dark malts. Chocolate and light roast coffee. Moderate dark fruit.
Taste - Quite sweet and not so dark as the appears implies. Coffee and chocolate flavors dominate - not unlike a cafe au lait.
Mouthfeel - Creamy and full.
Overall - Sweet and creamy and quite tasty.

On tap at Jordan's Big 10 Pub, Madison, this is a disappointment, especially after the brilliant mocha aroma. The problem, I thought, was it's just too cold. Drank it slowly, and even after it warmed it was still thin, with a metallic brightness that keeps it from being creamy. Flavor is definitely not bad. It just pulls up short of the promise of its aroma and lacing.
(Rating 3.60)
Had this again at a porch party, so, no glass, straight from the bottle. It impressed me enough to revisit this. Can't review it with any specificity, but I definitely do want to raise my score.

A: Pours a nice reddish black with a moderate light-tan head.
S: Lactose, mild roast, vanilla, some coffee bean.
T: Lactose sweetness, light char, a bit of acidic hoppiness, cocoa, coffee.
M: Between medium and light-bodied with creamy carbonation.
O: A drinkable milk stout. Could probably be a little less hoppy for the better but fine nonetheless.

12 ounce bottle poured into a shaker pint. Dark ruby, almost black, with a small but very retentive frothy light brown head. Bubbly and sticky lacing.
Roasted malts, caramel and milk chocolate are all noticeable; almost smells like chocolate milk. A little bit of brown sugar or molasses with a touch of vanilla.
Dark malts and lactose sugars dominate the flavor. Slightly bitter coffee-like finish and a bit of a butterscotch flavor.
Medium-heavy body and a decent level of carbonation. Mostly creamy mouthfeel, but a slightly slick finish.
Overall this is an above average beer. Maybe I'm biased because I've been drinking a lot of Odell Lugene lately, but it fails to really blow me away and cross that line between good and great.

12 oz bottle, sent by BarrytheBear recently; poured to an Abita pint glass. Milk/Sweet stout isn't a style I meet all that often, so it's a pleasure to try this one on a Saturday afternoon, following chores. The Walking Dead marathon is on AMC... so good.
A: Rich, deep brown... well, virtually 'black' as little light squeezes in through the sides. Healthy head, nearly a finger of creamy almond-tan. Lacing is terrific, a steady top-to-bottom coating of cobwebbing, sparkling a little. Although the head dies fairly abruptly, a gauzy sheen hangs around, sticking at the edges. Pretty pour.
S: Nutty scent, with the sweetness of coconut and toasted cashews. Cocoa and a little toffee; it's sugary and dessert-y, but then a refined mineral/sooty finish gives balance.
T: Very likeable - semi-sweet chocolate and a little cafe au lait. Caramel and nutty char, even a hint of fruitiness (apples). Sugariness is balanced, and borders (in the finish) on chalk/ash bitterness. Flavors seem to deepen as it warms/'opens up'.
M: Smooth and rather creamy, with a touch of thinness in the finish. Although the feel seems a little week, it's a light and velvety mouthfeel throughout.
O: On the old 'drinkability' meter, this ranks really highly - terrific taste, enticing scent, lovely look. Everything about this beer is solid. I like the style, admittedly, and (as mentioned before) i don't find it often. Maybe I've just missed trying one, but this is really good in my experience - big thanks to Barry for sending!

This beer looks like a stout and has a quarter inch, healthy head. When I smell it, I get cocoa. The taste has some coffee roastiness, sort of an acidic coffee roastiness. In fact, this beer is dominated by acidtiy, a lactic acidicity. Although the roasty aromas and flavors are appropriate, this lemony-lactic acidity is way over the top and dominates the beer to the point that I can only believe it is a flaw, beyond what a brewer would want in a milk stout. This is closer to Berlinerweiss than that fable "Guinness twang." The beer's texture is thin for a stout.

12 oz bottle emptied into a Three Floyds Imperial pint glass.
A 1 1/2 finger biege head rises atop the reddish brown dark liquid. Light barely shines through with a red glow. No lacing
Aroma of dark, rich roasty malt with a hint of dark chocolate.
Taste is chocolate malt without much sweetness. A faint sourness on the finish. I do not detect the Lactose.
Mouthfeel has a bit of a bite and a tad astringent. Moderate carbonation.
Overall I was disappointed but the hype for this beer from other reviewers and news articles and the difficulty finding it combined for very high expectations. Since it is more expensive than New Glarus I would probably pass on it next time. I enjoyed Mosquito Beach and Tommy Porter more than this one.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a Guinness pint glass. This beer is super dark and black. Not a single speck of light shines through this baby. The smell is deliciously candy like and sweet with the vary noticeable aroma of lactose sugar. The taste is incredibly sweet and enjoyable. A beer with true dessert like qualities. Has the sweet taste of sweetened milk chocolate with an extra vanilla milk like addition to it. Nice and thick with a stellar medium carbonation. This is what I look for in a milk stout. Nice and sweet and perfect for pairing with dishes you wouldn't normally serve beer with like rich cake, pudding, pie and ice cream. A home run for lake Louie.

Come Sail Away: Great Fall Cruises
October 4, 2010 at 2:44 pm , by Jennifer Castoro
Fall is a fabulous time to take a cruise: The end of hurricane season (in November), fall-only foliage itineraries and shoulder-season prices in hot spots like the Caribbean, Mexico and the Mediterranean make the next few months a prime time to hit the seas. And two of the more recent ships on the water, Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas (soon to be joined by sister ship Allure of the Seas, which sets sail in December) and Norwegian's Epic, are, in a word, insane. Really, they're monstrous – and awesome. Disney will be launching the Disney Dream, it's first new ship in 10 years, in January 2011. And despite what you might think, the feedback is that you probably won't notice the thousands of travelers on board when these colossal ships are full: They're designed to give you the best big-ship experience with the ease and fun of smaller options.
If it's been a while (or never!) since the last time you cruised, consider the new features on these super-cool ships. Move over, Love Boat!
You've probably heard about the much-hyped Oasis of the Seas, which launched in November 2009. This December, Royal Caribbean will launch the identical Allure of the Seas, which will travel in the Caribbean. These floating cities are broken into distinct "neighborhoods," including a boardwalk with a carousel and classic carnival games and a pool and sports zone (shown at left), and each has an AquaTheater at the rear of the ship where brave (bonkers?) divers take flight off of 10-meter high-dive platforms into the deepest saltwater pool at sea. One of the ship's most interesting innovations is the variety of balcony cabins available: Besides the view of the ocean, you can book a room overlooking the boardwalk area, Central Park or the AquaTheater. The ship can hold 5,400 guests at capacity and has about a zillion dining options (and by zillion, I mean 24), most without additional charges.

Def need more of her!! Super hot... let's see a little more hardcore tho!
Open-minded Cybergirl Erin Fox hails from Little Rock, the biggest city in the state of Arkansas. She's got some Native American blood, evident in her long, black hair, high cheekbones and tawny, dewy skin. "I was born in a small town called Marmaduke, just outside of Little Rock," she says. "I'm a fun-loving country girl who loves the simple things in life. Doors opened for me, chairs pulled out for me when I sit. You know, manners. And I'm low maintenance – a good time for me is going out to dinner, a movie, and maybe a four-wheel drive." She's worked as a contract model with two different agencies. "I acted in two country music videos and a national Sonic ad," she says, "but I got my big break when I was asked to pose for Playboy's Special Edition magazine. I was also featured in the Playboy Girls Network as a Busty Babe." She was a natural, so we featured her as an Amateur – and as of September 2012, she's proud to call herself a Cybergirl. "Everyone knows that only the most beautiful girls pose for Playboy, and now I'm one of them," she says happily. Erin works as a bartender, and she just finished cosmetology school. When she's not serving drinks or doing makeup, she's hanging with her friends – going drinking and dancing or watching movies at home. We hate to break it to you, guys, but Erin is in a relationship. "It's great, because he is just as straight-and-to-the-point as I am," she says. "Not a lot of guys can handle their girlfriend posing for a magazine."

News: Jay-Z Signs Lil Wayne's Former NCAA Crush To Roc Nation Sports
Thursday, Apr 25, 2013 11:45PM
Rap mogul Jay-Z has reportedly signed former NCAA basketball superstar Skylar Diggins to his newly launched Roc Nation Sports.
While the details are still scarce, Young Hov's latest signee became official Thursday (April 25).
When a former college basketball women's star gets drafted into the WNBA, you rarely pay attention to what sports agency she signs with. However, this one should warrant a little bit of attention. Of course by now we know all about Jay Z and his latest sports endeavor -- he's become a sports agent and has already started RocNation Sports. Well on Thursday morning, Jay Z signed his latest client as Skylar Diggins reportedly agreed to be represented by RocNation. Diggins isn't and won't be the headline figure at RocNation, but it's still an intriguing move. Diggins was selected with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft less than two weeks ago and was widely considered to be one of the top three recognizable players in women's basketball aside of Britney Griner and Elana Delle Donne. (Rant Sports)
Last summer, Diggins addressed rap star Lil Wayne's support of her Notre Dame team and kept mum on romance speculation.
"It was good, it just shows that our sport can entertain any demographic," Diggins said about Wayne supporting her. "He showed not only love to me, myself, but my team, my school, he watches women basketball. He's a fan of my craft and likewise with me and him." (Baller Status)
Jigga is reportedly looking to sign NHL prospect Seth Jones to his growing sports company.
Sources said Jay-Z's organization wants to strike a deal to be involved in the star's marketing and branding, reports The Post's Kirsten Fleming. Jones would then benefit from both sides of the CAA and Roc Nation partnership. "When Seth comes to the NHL draft [in Newark, NJ] in June, his family, agents at CAA and Roc Nation are going to have a powwow to see if he'll sign with them," a source said. (New York Post)
Last week, Jay released an open letter on his exit from being minority owner of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets to try his hand at expanding Roc Nation Sports.
"The Nets have made their mark on the NBA and as they enter a new era, Roc Nation does as well; as we embark on Roc Nation Sports. Our newest endeavor is committed to building the brands of professional athletes as we have done for some of today's top music artists. For Roc Nation Sports to function at its full potential, NBA rules stipulate that I relinquish my ownership in the Brooklyn Nets. It was a tough decision but as I stated earlier, it's not about ownership. Congratulations to The Nets on a great season and making the playoffs! I will always be a Brooklyn Net." (Life + Times)

Bicyclists are riding across the state to honor police officers and firefighters who have died while serving Indiana will be rolling into Michiana Thursday.
Participants in the 11th annual Cops Cycling for Survivors ride are heading from Angola to Mishawaka on Thursday. They'll leave Friday morning for Merrillville. In all, they'll spend 13 days on the road before concluding their tour of the state July 20.
Indiana State Police Trooper Rich Crawford says this year's tour will bring together 52 riders by its conclusion.
In 2006, two people who were heavily involved in starting the ride, Lt. Gary Dudley of the Indiana State Police and Retired Chief Gary Martin of the Lake County Police Department, were killed in an accident on the ride in Western Indiana. After the accident, several of those who were riding that day say they were determined to keep the ride alive.
The group says it has raised over $300,000 for Indiana Concerns of Police Survivors to date.

Although highly successful as a wrestler for Phillips Academy from 2004-2006, Kassie Archambault can't quite match everything that Danielle Coughlin has accomplished in her four years at North Andover.
And her record against boys was also not quite as impressive as Whittier Tech's Shannon Constantine, who now wrestles at King College.
But Archambault, who is originally from Methuen, has done something that others can only duplicate. At Phillips Academy this year, she became the first girls assistant coach on a boys team.
"I love the sport and when I got a job teaching here, I knew I wanted to coach," said Archambault, a graduate of Dartmouth College who is an instructor in Russian. "I really enjoyed it."
Archambault, who was the first girl to start at Phillips and the first to place in the league tournament served as the main coach for sophomore Alyssa Augustin, a 152-pounder from New Jersey.
Augustin, under Archambault's guidance, showed tremendous improvement this year, wrestling in several varsity matches and eventually winning her weight class at the Girls New England tournament.
"I think it was partly about taking a year to figure out what it takes to be successful," said Archambault, who won her weight class at the girls New England tourney. "She just needed the experience and to work at it. ... I think she'll keep getting better."
Archambault isn't positive she'll be at Phillips next year but, wherever she winds up teaching, she hopes to continue as a coach on the mat.
"There's nothing like the sport," she said.

Thread: Bears-Vikings Preview
09-21-2006, 07:40 AM #1Prophet Guest
Bears-Vikings Preview
Bears-Vikings Preview
Associated Press
21 September 2006
The Chicago Bears are again one of the top defensive teams in the NFL. Its their offense, however, that has first-year Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress concerned.
Chicago looks to open 3-0 for the first time since 1991, while Minnesota tries to begin a season with three straight victories for the first time in three years when the NFC North rivals meet at the Metrodome on Sunday.
Quarterback Rex Grossman hasn't made more than three starts in his last three years in Chicago due to injuries and was less than impressive during the preseason, leading to speculation that he could lose his starting job to veteran Brian Griese.
The Bears' offense, however, has flourished with Grossman under center in the first two games. Grossman leads the NFL with a 128.7 rating, is tied for first with five touchdown passes and is fifth with 551 yards passing as Chicago has scored an NFC-high 60 points.
"I know it's always been fashionable to say (the Bears) haven't had the offense to go along with the defense," Childress said. "They've got the leading passer in the National Football League right now ... A lot of times you have to grow into those offenses. I think you're seeing, obviously, Rex Grossman mature."
Grossman set a career high with 262 yards in the season opener against Green Bay and then threw for 289 in last Sunday's 34-7 win over Detroit, connecting on 20-of-27 passes.
"(The fans) have been on him so hard the last few weeks," said Bears tight end Desmond Clark, who caught five passes for 85 yards and a touchdown last week. "You sit back and you're like, 'Damn, just a few months ago he was (hailed) and now you're booing him.' I like what he's doing. I hope he can keep it up."
The defense will also be looking to keep up its strong play. Chicago has given up only seven points and is fifth in the NFL in total defense, allowing 256 yards a game.
Grossman will be facing a Minnesota defense that is ranked seventh in the NFL, but suffered another blow last week with the loss of defensive end Erasmus James to a torn ACL. James joins safety Tank Williams (kneecap), linebacker Chad Greenway (knee) and cornerback Dovonte Edwards (arm) on injured reserve.
Still, the Vikings defense has allowed only two touchdowns, held opponents to just 7-for-27 on third-down conversions and forced 14 punts.
Childress feels the depth of the defensive unit will make the losses easier to handle.
"We like fresh faces in there, fresh bodies," Childress said. "A guy can get out and if (we) have equally as much confidence in the guy who goes in, that ends up being huge."
Minnesota is coming off a 16-13 overtime win over Carolina last weekend after opening the season with a 19-16 victory at Washington. The Vikings trailed the Panthers 13-6 in the fourth quarter when kicker Ryan Longwell faked a field-goal attempt and passed to Richard Owens in the end zone to tie the score.
Longwell, who signed with the Vikings as a free agent in the offseason after nine years with Green Bay, then made a 19-yard field goal in overtime.
"Ten years in, I finally got one," Longwell said of his 16-yard TD pass.
Minnesota quarterback Brad Johnson didn't throw a touchdown in the game, but was 19-of-31 for 243 yards. He connected with Troy Williamson six times for 102 yards, giving the second-year receiver 179 yards in two games after managing just 372 in 14 contests last year.
The Vikings are averaging only 3.4 rushing yards per carry, but Chester Taylor showed promise against the Panthers, running for 113 yards on 24 carries.
The home team has won each of the last eight meetings in this series, with Chicago's last victory in Minneapolis coming on Nov. 25, 2001.
"If we can get this one, it would really set us up," Minnesota safety Darren Sharper said. "We usually play well against them."
Re: Bears-Vikings Preview
I honestly think the bears are completely looking past this game.
We should have a suprise for them.
Re: Bears-Vikings Preview
If 'da bears are looking past this game then their a bunch of fools....if anything, these old rivalries should have taught the players and coaches that anything can happen.
I think us fans, the coaching staff and the players will learn alot about themselves as a team after Sunday's game.
Me, I can't wait!!
Re: Bears-Vikings Preview
I hope the bears are looking past the vikings so we can completely blindside them
Re: Bears-Vikings Preview
Hey all! Been a while, but I'm still around. Looking forward to this sunday's game as I FINALLY have Sunday Ticket to see ALL of the Vikes games this year. (Stupid Seahawks state) Anyways, just read that the Bears will be starting rookie saftey Danieal Manning this sunday instead of 2nd year man, Chris Harris. Looks like it's going to be "pick on the rook" day in the Dome!
Re: Bears-Vikings Preview
Check this from John Clayton:
Everyone predicts an easy ride for the Bears. They have one of the league's best defenses, as well as the league's easiest schedule. But their control of the NFC North will be dependent upon how well they do against the Vikings, and it doesn't help that the game is in Minnesota. Brad Childress has established the personality of his team in victories against the Redskins and Panthers. The defense is hard-hitting. The offense isn't going to be high-scoring, but it will try to wear down a defense with the running of Chester Taylor and the power of its offensive line. Historically, big offensive lines with good running games are problems for light, Cover 2 defenses such the Bears'. QB Rex Grossman will have to have another big game for the Bears to overcome that potential problem. Grossman is off to a good start. He averaged 273 passing yards in victories over the Packers and Lions. The pressure is on the Vikings in this game. If they lose to the Bears, the Bears may be hard to catch. The Bears would be 3-0 in the division and have a home game against the Vikings on Dec
Re: Bears-Vikings Preview
Thats all we get here to is the Seahawks game.
Would you so happen to know if Spokane Fox is going to broadcast the Vikings-Bears since Seattles game is the late one?
Re: Bears-Vikings Preview
Just made the call.
it cost me plenty!
Vikes win 24-17 VERY LATE in the game.
Hail Mary pass they say.
Refs may fight over the call.
Troy gallops like the ghost of Moss as a rookie.
And someone will spill a beer in the stands
Sec 12 it looks like.

not going to pay too much attention to grossman's stats considering who the two teams were that he played, if brad had it that easy too..he would be one of the highest rated passers too and had a field day...grossman hasnt faced a good defensive team until this sunday..then we will see..GOOOOOOOOOOOO VIKESI BLEED THE COLOR PURPLE

Exclusive: "Who The F*ck Is Ca$his, My N*gga? B*tch N*ggas Like That Ain't Even On My Radar"
Wednesday, Oct 26, 2011 2:40PM
Midwest spitter Freddie Gribbs recently took time to speak with SOHH about his reputation for being an industry outlaw in an era where most MC's find it easier to keep the peace.
When asked how he felt about being compared to young Tupac Shakur, Gibbs explained that he is simply staying true to himself.
"It's whatever ... to me that's love. I'm definitely not one to go off and offend muthaf*ckas for no reason, but I just say what I wanna say," Freddie explained. "It's all outta good fun so it's best to just be cool with me cause n*ggas don't wanna shoot that fair one. None of these muthaf*ckas gonna say a d*mn thing to me, man. It be alotta talk on Twitter and behind closed doors, though." (SOHH)
Earlier this year, Gibbs was part of a Twitter feud with fellow rapper Cashis, an occurrence he says is barely worth thinking about.
"Who the f*ck is Ca$his, my n*gga? See that's what I'm saying ... b*tch n*ggas like that ain't even on my radar. N*gga can't even get a dollar for an appearance or a verse. He's irrelevant. So when n*ggas ask me about him ... I be like what?" (SOHH)
Now part of Jeezy's Corporate Thugz Entertainment imprint, Freddie says hip-hop will always need a controversial figure to add life to the game.
"I know it's gonna be some controversy with me comin' up ... I'm the most controversial n*gga in rap. The game need it! N*ggas got to get their chain [taken] and knocked out and sh*t like that man. There's gotta be that sh*t. I heard a rapper just got his chain took, too man. Watch out, it's rough out here. Tell that n*gga I wanna send my prayers out to him -- he know who he is. His clique makin' money so I know they gonna buy him another one to make that sh*t look like it ain't happen." (SOHH)
In April, the Indiana MC made headlines for statements made against Bay Area artist Lil B.
"No f*ck sh*t. This ain't no Lil B Based God or no f*cking f*ggot sh*t like that up here," Freddie told fans at a Southpaw Brooklyn show April 27th. "What the f*ck you thought this was? N*gga this is real rap. N*gga. Based God get the f*ck outta here n*gga." (YouTube)

Our Residential Facilities in CA, OR and MA are Joint Commission Accredited.
Learning to feed oneself and be at peace in one's body is difficult in today's society where what you weigh seems more important than who you are, and where abstaining from food or exercising through pain are considered virtues. Rather than being shocked at the epidemic of eating and exercise disorders, we need wonder how any female is spared from developing one. Control over your own life is important to you, therefore, you will have ambivalence about going to any program designed to change your behaviors. To come to Monte Nido you don't have to be ready to give up your eating disorder. We are here to show you how and help you decide.
Eating and exercise disorders are not only about food and weight but about a disordered self looking for acceptance and approval, and finding it, however temporarily, through the pursuit of thinness, fitness or the comfort of food. Eating and exercise disorder symptoms are the voice through which the body expresses unmet needs, conflicts, and pain.
Our eating disorder treatment philosophy is that you can be "recovered" where the goal is not only the absence of symptoms, but the resolution of whatever problems or needs your eating disorder behaviors are trying to express. I am confident that our empathetic and individualized approach is combined with the best professional help available to help you accomplish that goal.
I know it is difficult to chose a treatment program from a website or a marketing packet. I encourage you to call and/or come for visit, meet the staff and find out if a Monte Nido program is what you have been looking for.
We are happy to arrange for you to talk with former clients, family members and professionals who refer to our programs. These people can answer other questions you have and may be able to help you make a decision"
I am confident that you will find at Monte Nido and its affiliates all the components necessary not only for recovery from an eating disorder but for creating a fulfilling life. In choosing a treatment program, there is the right time and the right place. Monte Nido's success and reputation has resulted in a waiting list for those seeking
. We will work with you, your treating professionals and significant others to get you in as soon as possible once you decide if a Monte Nido program is right for you. However, I do not want anyone to wait at their detriment and will help find the most appropriate alternative for those whose need for immediate admission takes precedent over their first choice in a treatment facility.

The search for a couple accused of abducting their own children will likely grow farther across the country as the day goes on.
Wednesday night, the state of Louisiana issued an Amber Alert on behalf of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement but deputies know since they've passed the 24-hour window the search area will grow even more.
"We really don't have any idea where this couple may be and based on the time of this incident [Wednesday] morning – it could be anywhere in the southeastern part of the United States," said Larry McKinnon, spokesman for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, during the last 9:30 briefing Wednesday night.
Deputies said it started Wednesday morning at 6:30 when Joshua Hakken, 35, went to his mother-in-law's home at 14040 Shady Shores Dr. and took 2-year-old Chase Hakken and 4-year-old Cole Hakken. Detectives believe the boys' mother, Sharyn Patricia Hakken, 34, may also be with them.
Joshua Hakken tied up of Patricia Hauser, the children's maternal grandmother, and left in her 2009 Silver Toyota Camry, according to investigators. They say it took Hauser half an hour to free herself from the zip-ties Joshua used to tie her up.
"That in itself is a state of mind that in our belief is unstable," McKinnon said. "We know he has a history of violence and if history is any prediction of the future – it concerns us."
Deputies believe the couple ditched the grandmother's Camry and are now likely in Joshua Hakken's pickup.
"The car was recovered a few blocks away from the scene," said Hillsborough Co. Corporal Kevin Bodie.
By sundown detectives executed a search warrant at the couple's home at 3609 S. Sterling Ave. in South Tampa. They took out computers and other evidence.
"That may give us the amount of information so that we can narrow it down ... and get these kids back," McKinnon said.
Detectives say there's evidence the couple are survivalists who believe there are no U.S. government laws. They lost custody of the children during a visit to Louisiana years ago.
"We know that they had been attending an anti-government rally … the father had gotten arrested for some drug possession charges and for whatever reason the state of Louisiana decided to take custody from the couple at that time," McKinnon said. "Right after that – we know that he went to the foster care facility and ended up banging on the door, pulling a gun and tried to get those kids back."
Deputies ask anyone with any information dial 911 or call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200. They consider the couple armed and dangerous.

International 3260 Mower question.
I just completed restoration of my 185 Cub Lowboy and am trying to assemble the mower deck. I was told it is a 3260? International. The linkages don't seem to be working out right and I am not sure how to mount it correctly. Does anyone have a photo or assembly instructions for this mower. Any help would be appreciated.
Re: International 3260 Mower question.
Nick - I'm not real familiar with the number series implements but there is a Yahoo Group for the Number Series Cub Lo-boys. They have a number of photo files that are accessable online. You do have to join the group to view the pictures. They have a pretty active e-mail based forum. Check them out in Yaho Groups.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Re: International 3260 Mower question.
Hi Nick - I have a 3260 Mower Deck as well as one that IH didn't number for some reason. There are parts manuals on Rudi's server that show the setup. Here's the url for the mower decks. http://www.cleancomputes.com/Cub/Number%20Series%20Cubs/Cub-154%20Lo-Boy/TC-131%20Parts%20Catalog%20Revision%208/Other%20Equipment/index.html

Re: International 3260 Mower question.
Thank You. That is what I needed.
Re: International 3260 Mower question.
Did you check the center spindle for play? I noticed my 3260 deck had a growl when i first cranked it up. I removed it to sharpen the blades and noticed the center spindle had a wobble. At first i thought it needed new bearings but i found the center nut loose and after tightening it the wobble was gone. It also took a lot to grease it too all three spindles seemed to be very dry. After adjusting the center spindle and some grease its very quiet now. I saved some $$ buy checking it out first. BigBill
You can get the drive belts if you need them fron Napa too for around $25 to $30.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

It is safe to say with one week to go until the start of the season we have probably enough information to make an educated prediction on the possibilities for SAFC during the coming season.
The first thing we need to ask ourselves is what is a "realistic" expectacion?
We are not going to assume we have the ability to win or even challenge for the title and should discount finishing within the top 6. Now having brought in a lot of new faces over the summer and still possibly a few to come in, most people not associated with SAFC have said it's too big a change and we are simply mirroring the same blueprint that QPR employed (and look at them).
Well we have to respect their opinion because until we have played maybe 3 or 4 games of the season we will be unable to judge how well the team have bonded over the summer.
On the other hand the quality of players we have signed would indicate that the team is vastly improved and should go on to better things. Now we have to take into consideration that other teams that were in and around us last season have also made some big improvements. The likes of Norwich and Stoke have made some good signings and with Taraabt signing for Fulham he may just be the man to unlock even more goals for Berbatov.
That said i still believe we have stolen a march on the majority of teams which should reward us with a better position in the table come the end of the season. I for one am going to keep my expectations relatively low. Any sort of progress is still progress and with the new structure being built for the future this is the least we should expect.
I would expect us to make some good progress in the cup competitions but I wont be too disappointed if we don't. The league is our bread and butter and thats where we should concentrate. Most fans outlay a top ten spot and finishing above "them from up the road" as their expectations and until this season that was probably a bit of an ask.
Now the entire club seems to have been invigorated from top to bottom and the new "shiney" Sunderland is sure to please fans. I predict that we should be looking to finish in the region of 8th-10th this season. Despite adding a few new players I think west ham are taking a few step backwards, Southampton haven't added massively and are still relatively a championship side; the promoted sides I believe are going to struggle because of the growing strength of premier league teams.
Liverpool could slide down into the midtable battle and i don't think Suarez will play for them again. Of course these are entirely my own views but they have been based on displays over preseason, the quality of signings in contrast to other teams and the management infrastructure.
One thing for certain I will say is we should definitely finish above Newcastle, I think they are going to struggle this season due to the exact opposite reasons why we will do well. I have put my money where my mouth is by waging £50 on it so i guess by the end of the season you will all know how that turned out.
I'd like to take this moment to wish all fans the best for the coming season and I hope you aren't disappointed.

A DeKalb County found Andrea Sneiderman guilty on nine of 13 counts, including perjury and making false statements.Sneiderman was accused of making false statements, hindering an investigation and perjury related to the investigation of the 2010 murder of her husband, Rusty, and the trial of the man convicted in the shooting. Rusty Sneiderman was shot outside of a Dunwoody daycare. Andrea's former boss, Hemy Neuman, is serving a life sentence in the murder.About 1:30 p.m., the verdict was read aloud with Ms. Sneiderman being found guilty on most counts. There was no strong outward show of emotion as the counts and the jury's findings were read.
Count 1: Hindering the apprehension of a criminal – GuiltyCount 2: Concealment of material facts – GuiltyCount 3: False Statement – GuiltyCount 4: Perjury – Not GuiltyCount 5: False Statement – Not GuiltyCount 6: Perjury – GuiltyCount 7: Perjury – Not GuiltyCount 8: False Statement – GuiltyCount 9: Perjury – GuiltyCount 10: False Statement – GuiltyCount 11: Perjury – Guilty Count 12: Perjury – GuiltyCount 13: Perjury: Not GuiltyThe mixed verdict seemed to indicate that the jury believed Andrea Sneiderman had a relationship with Neuman, but had no prior knowledge of her former's boss' plan to kill Rusty Sneiderman.One juror, who asked not to be identified, said that he believed Andrea lied numerous times after her husband's death to cover up for Neuman. "After you look at the evidence, the emails, what was going on, what was said, the witnesses that came, you would probably say the same thing," Juror 57 said. Rusty's family and friends embraced one another and thanked prosecutors, but had no comment to the media.A close friend of Andrea Sneiderman, Steffi Miller, said that she believes the widow was convicted without real evidence. "Everything that they suggested was hearsay or circumstantial," Miller said.Juror 57 said that Sneiderman's testimony in the Neumann trial, which was replayed in this trial, doomed her."Once you got to actually looking at the information and what she said in the Hemy Neuman trial, she basically pretty much committed perjury," the juror said.Miller suggested that the verdict from the predominantly African-American jury may have been a reaction to the George Zimmerman trial. Zimmerman was acquitted by a Florida jury in the death of Trayvon Martin. "I don't think that all of it is racial. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they have been damning her in the news for two years," Miller said.Deputies escorted Andrea Sneiderman out of the courtroom. Sentencing is set for Tuesday morning. Judge Gregory Adams will hear arguments from both sides before issuing the sentence.Veteran defense attorney Jackie Patterson said that he expects the judge to sentence Andrea Sneiderman to serve at least 10 years. Patterson said that's much more than she would have gotten had she accepted a plea deal.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

- Tradition attributes to both Dido and Aeneas the founding of important ancient nations.
- Both Dido and Aeneas are destined to rule. (This isn't meant in any mystical way, but as a statement of what happened or would happen.)
- Both Dido and Aeneas are from the royal families in their respective homelands.
- Both Dido and Aeneas had to leave home to save their own lives.
The rising city, which from far you see,
Is Carthage, and a Tyrian colony.
Phoenician Dido rules the growing state,
Who fled from Tyre, to shun her brother's hate.
Vergil Aeneid Book I, Dryden Translation
Arms and the man I sing, the first who came, compelled by fate, an exile, to Italy and the Lavinian shore....
- They sail from home with a band of loyal followers.
Admonish'd thus, and seiz'd with mortal fright,
The queen provides companions of her flight:
They meet, and all combine to leave the state,
Who hate the tyrant, or who fear his hate.
Vergil Aeneid Book I, Dryden Translation
"Thus having pass'd the night in fruitless pain,
I to my longing friends return again,
Amaz'd th' augmented number to behold,
Of men and matrons mix'd, of young and old;
A wretched exil'd crew together brought,
With arms appointed, and with treasure fraught,
Resolv'd, and willing, under my command,
To run all hazards both of sea and land.
Vergil Aeneid Book II, Dryden Translation
- They take precious items with symbolic significance with them on their flight. The Phoenicians were tradesmen extraordinaire and wealthy, so Dido took wealth.
DidoThe Romans valued their piety, and so Aeneas took the penates gods.
They seize a fleet, which ready rigg'd they find;
Nor is Pygmalion's treasure left behind.
Vergil Aeneid Book I, Dryden Translation
Next, you, my servants, heed my strict commands:
Our country gods, the relics, and the bands,
Hold you, my father, in your guiltless hands:
In me 't is impious holy things to bear....
Vergil Aeneid Book II, Dryden Translation
In "Dido, Aeneas, and the Concept of 'Pietas'," (Greece & Rome 1972; pp. 127-135), Kenneth McLeish mentions that although it bothered her, Dido's pietas weakened when she succumbed to love.
- Both Dido and Aeneas have been widowed. Dido's brother killed her husband, Sychaeus.
Then strife ensued, and cursed gold the cause.
The monarch, blinded with desire of wealth,
With steel invades his brother's life by stealth;
Before the sacred altar made him bleed,
And long from her conceal'd the cruel deed.
Vergil Aeneid Book I, Dryden Translation
Aeneas' wife Creusa disappeared while they were in transit.
Alas! I lost Creusa: hard to tell
If by her fatal destiny she fell,
Or weary sate, or wander'd with affright;
But she was lost for ever to my sight.
Vergil Aeneid Book II, Dryden Translation
- Both Dido and Aeneas encounter the advice-giving ghosts of their former spouses.
At length, in dead of night, the ghost appears
Of her unhappy lord: the specter stares,
And, with erected eyes, his bloody bosom bares.
The cruel altars and his fate he tells,
And the dire secret of his house reveals,
Then warns the widow, with her household gods,
To seek a refuge in remote abodes.
Last, to support her in so long a way,
He shows her where his hidden treasure lay.
Vergil Aeneid Book I, Dryden Translation
Then, with ungovern'd madness, I proclaim,
Thro' all the silent street, Creusa's name:
Creusa still I call; at length she hears,
And sudden thro' the shades of night appears-
Appears, no more Creusa, nor my wife,
But a pale specter, larger than the life.
Aghast, astonish'd, and struck dumb with fear,
I stood; like bristles rose my stiffen'd hair.
Then thus the ghost began to soothe my grief
'Nor tears, nor cries, can give the dead relief.
Desist, my much-lov'd lord,'t indulge your pain;
You bear no more than what the gods ordain.
My fates permit me not from hence to fly;
Nor he, the great controller of the sky.
Long wand'ring ways for you the pow'rs decree;
On land hard labors, and a length of sea.
Then, after many painful years are past,
On Latium's happy shore you shall be cast,
Where gentle Tiber from his bed beholds
The flow'ry meadows, and the feeding folds.
There end your toils; and there your fates provide
A quiet kingdom, and a royal bride:
There fortune shall the Trojan line restore,
And you for lost Creusa weep no more.
Vergil Aeneid Book II, Dryden Translation
- Both Dido and Aeneas have a patron goddess. Hera/Juno supported Dido and her city of Carthage:
Against the Tiber's mouth, but far away,
An ancient town was seated on the sea;
A Tyrian colony; the people made
Stout for the war, and studious of their trade:
Carthage the name; belov'd by Juno more
Than her own Argos, or the Samian shore.
Vergil Aeneid Book I, Dryden Translation
Aphrodite/Venus supported her son Aeneas.
When Venus saw, she with a lowly look,
Not free from tears, her heav'nly sire bespoke:
"O King of Gods and Men! whose awful hand
Disperses thunder on the seas and land,
Disposing all with absolute command;
How could my pious son thy pow'r incense?
Or what, alas! is vanish'd Troy's offense?
Our hope of Italy not only lost,
On various seas by various tempests toss'd,
But shut from ev'ry shore, and barr'd from ev'ry coast.
You promis'd once, a progeny divine
Of Romans, rising from the Trojan line,
In after times should hold the world in awe,
And to the land and ocean give the law.
How is your doom revers'd, which eas'd my care
When Troy was ruin'd in that cruel war?
Then fates to fates I could oppose; but now,
When Fortune still pursues her former blow,
What can I hope? What worse can still succeed?
What end of labors has your will decreed?
Antenor, from the midst of Grecian hosts,
Could pass secure, and pierce th' Illyrian coasts,
Where, rolling down the steep, Timavus raves
And thro' nine channels disembogues his waves.
At length he founded Padua's happy seat,
And gave his Trojans a secure retreat;
There fix'd their arms, and there renew'd their name,
And there in quiet rules, and crown'd with fame.
But we, descended from your sacred line,
Entitled to your heav'n and rites divine,
Are banish'd earth; and, for the wrath of one,
Remov'd from Latium and the promis'd throne.
Are these our scepters? these our due rewards?
And is it thus that Jove his plighted faith regards?"
Vergil Aeneid Book I, Dryden Translation

The word "southern" is rich with cultural variation, interpretation, identification, and history. To begin this garden project, The Arboretum conducted a very informal, random survey of individuals from North Carolina asking them for their definition of a 'southern garden' and the types of plants they'd expect to find there. From this small sampling, we received tremendously diverse images: fields of tobacco, kitchen gardens resplendent with vegetables and herbs, huge flower gardens not unlike English cottage gardens, ornamental gardens showcasing those plants one typically sees in the south, native plants to the south, plants found in Thomas Jefferson's gardens, fields of wheat or soybeans, plants from Old Salem Gardens, fruit orchards, heirloom plants that have been handed down from generation to generation, plants brought over with the colonists, and on and on.
A short search of the literature found as many variations as our survey. This one paragraph seemed to best summarize some of the issues with finding a single definition:
Also of great interest and significance to Southern gardeners is information on the impact of many different cultures - Native American, English, French, Spanish, German and African-American - on the South… Regional diversity and ethnic influences survive to this day, chronicled through plants such as poet's laurel, sweet myrtle, pomegranate, banana shrub, Cape jasmine, jujube, camellia, chinaberry or the magnolia fig. Swept yards, parterres of boxwood hedges, knot gardens, hen yards dotted with umbrella chinaberry trees or small plum trees, planters created from whitewashed tires, or even bottle trees and bottle edgings created from castoffs - all have different stories to tell. (The Southern Garden http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/southerngarden/sgintro.html).)
Nowhere could we find a single, definitive suggestion of what constitutes 'a southern garden.' Yet the appeal of such a themed garden remains.
The importance of creating an accurate, authentic 'southern' garden based on key factors that will make sense to the tourist as well as the North Carolinian (including, of course good gardening/environmental practices) is especially important from an educational standpoint. The mission of the Arboretum includes an educational component for the gardens, therefore making accurate research and selection of design and materials for this most visual aspect of the Arboretum even more crucial.
We undertook a search of the literature as we examined the historical and cultural 'roots' of a southern garden, especially as this related to our climatic and plant hardiness zones (7a and 7b). The study focused on three questions:
To summarize the findings of the research, I will quote from Carole LeWald's excellent research:
"I return yet again to the imagery associated with grandmother's "old-fashioned" garden, imagery mirrored in the walled nature of Elizabeth Lawrence's private garden, descriptions from Page (1897), and images from various archival sources. Andrews' (1890) description is not just evocative, but it clearly shows how the "walled" influences of African American yards, circular forms and topsy-turvy growth found in Native American gardens, and a move away from the rigidly geometrical boxwood borders and European plants unite. The convergence of these images and forms-both literally and figuratively-- form a truly "Southern Garden". Grandmother's garden is one that blends past and present-for grandmother, the Native American name used to refer to gardens in the southeast-- embraces a multitude of influences and is rooted to numerous pasts and a living present. Hence, all the various types of gardens discussed are indeed southern gardens. But it is this ephemeral seemingly timeless, overgrown garden with its curved beds that are hidden behind a gate that people most commonly think of as a "Southern Garden."
"One could also create several smaller southern gardens that document the socio-historic overlap between Europeans, African Americans, Native Americans and which also accounts for the often gendered nature of gardening. Experiencing the similarities and differences between a purely functional Native American kitchen garden, a European kitchen and medicinal garden, a small cutwork parterre garden, and a walled or fenced African-American yard with the swept dirt floors and abundant flowers and vegetables, might enable a visitor to grasp the fluidity of these influences. These smaller gardens could lead to a final "Southern Garden" that would bring together many of these design elements such as the curving paths around raised beds, overflowing flowers, walled or fenced parameters, climbing vines and a mix of native and imported plants.. . deciding on key design features requires one to identify which southern garden to create. Smaller southern gardens leading to a larger old-fashioned style "Southern Garden" allows for multiple educational functions. This would offer insight into socio-cultural values and practices associated with all Southerners regardless of race, class, gender, or ethnicity. In turn, this could possibly break away stereotyped black and white notions of the South-notions that rarely pay attention to the richness and variety of "everyday" people and practices and only preserve and promote an elite understanding who is "Southern" and what "Southern" means.
"Documentation of plants that constitute antebellum kitchen and pleasure gardens vary greatly. As in Andrews' article, prominent plants include hyacinths, pansies, pinks, roses, daffodils, narcissus, irises, azaleas crocuses, climbing vines , flowering trees such as dogwoods, magnolias, as well as fruit trees. Plant lists from historic sites such as Westville (Jordan 2006b and 2006c), Monticello (2008), and the Southern Garden History Society (2001) are readily available and offer a great deal of detail and information. Of particular importance is the Southern Garden History Society Plant List as it contains 45 individually listed plant lists starting from 1734 until 1931. The plant list has its own search function and visible hyperlinks to each list with the name and date of the list.
The Southern Garden at the Arboretum at JCC will incorporate many of these ideas! Stay tuned as this garden develops. There will be many opportunities for you to contribute plants, stories and ideas!
"One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides."W.E. Johns, The Passing Show

One only has to be a fan of any sport, and you will hear the same old stories and predictions from many coaches and sportscasters regardless of the sport.
There are those who say defense wins football championships, and free throw shooting wins and loses most basketball games. And some say defense and others say it's pitching that wins baseball championships.
Well, let's take a look at this 2014 Williston Red Devil Baseball 1A State Championship team to see just how good they were.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
• May 25, Juanita Batten, Bronson, DUI
• May 20, Carolyn Berryhill, Gulf Hammock, false Medicaid claim, pay for Medicaid referral.
• May 20, Lori Cherbonneau, Williston, careless driving, DUI and damage property. Bond $250.
• May 25, Jeffery Neal Cherry, Bell, disorder intoxication in public place, battery. Bond $2,000.
• May 25, Todd Evan Davis, Archer, possession of cocaine, possession marijuana not more than 20 grams. Bond $6,000.
If you were watching or listening to Tuesday night's game, you know how excited the Red Devils' fans were. You may have been excited yourself.
It's been a rough baseball season here at the Williston Pioneer. Our sports writer quit and despite advertisements, Facebook pleadings and discussions with teachers and students alike, no one came forward to do the job.
Dick Williams was 24 years old when he first set foot on the beaches of Normandy as part of the D-Day invasion.
A medic, Williams saw the horror of war first hand–images he never forgot and in 2012 published his memoir "Men of Iron: A Tribute to Courage."
Who in their right mind would voluntarily be in the hot sun for 12-14 hours a day without receiving monetary compensation?
