Intech Equipment & Supply, a Phoenix-based roofing and insulation equipment provider, has hired Dennis Alter as southeast technical service manager.
Alter will be based in the company's Madison, Ga. location and will support its five full service branches in California, Texas, Arizona, Missouri and Arkansas, as well as coverage for some other southeastern states.
Spectrum Brands' Hardware and Home Improvement division relaunched websites for its Stanley Hardware and National Hardware brands.
According to Madison, Wis.-based Spectrum, the new sites offer a more comprehensive and robust search functionality. They also organize information more efficiently.
A dedicated merchandising and planogram section has been added to both sites, along with company and product news.
Despite sales gains, the consumer products company based in Madison, Wis., posted a net loss of $41.2 million.
Spectrum Brands reported a second quarter net loss of $41.2 million. This compared with a net loss of $28.7 million in the year-ago quarter.
The Madison, Wis.-based consumer products company -- including such brands as Rayovac and George Foreman Grills -- purchased Stanley's hardware and home improvement (HHI) segment last year. Sales were $987.8 million for the three months ended March 31, up from $746.3 million.
It wasn't a nearby Home Depot that led to the business woes of a Madison, Wis., hardware store, said its owner.
According to an article in the Cap Times, a local hardware store owner pointed to crime and deteriorating conditions in the Madison, Wis., store's neighborhood as the leading cause for its pending going-out-of-business sale.
Madison, Wis.-based Wolf Appliance introduced its largest grill to date -- a 54-in., 51,000 Btu unit with five stainless steel burners.
An optional side burner for high heat and preparing side dishes is available and packs 25,000 Btu into the outdoor configuration.
The company says the product is a response to consumer demand for more variety in outdoor grills.

FORT WORTH, Texas Vadym Kholodenko's Cliburn gold medal has turned into the busy concert pianist's career he had hoped for.
Four months after winning the prestigious piano competition in Fort Worth, the 26-year-old Ukrainian is slated to perform at more than 50 concerts between now and May, the busiest Kholodenko said he has ever been during a concert season. One of them brings him to Halton Theater Oct. 18 as the second show in the Charlotte Concerts season.
"It's opened more American stages for my career," said Kholodenko, who recently performed at the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado and Sunriver Music Festival in Oregon. "It's just a new level: I never would have imagined I would be able to play these concerts."
As the June winner of the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Kholodenko received $50,000 and three years of international concert management from the Cliburn Foundation.
With that professional management came a professional photo shoot in the late pianist's Fort Worth home.
During the shoot, Kholodenko, who describes himself as "quite serious," was told he needed to smile more, he said. The photographer tried to get him to joke around with third-place winner Sean Chen, who was also there for photos. Instead, the two pianists sat down at Cliburn's Steinway and played a short duet.
"It was so interesting to be in Van Cliburn's home, just to feel the atmosphere of culture and intelligence in his house," said Kholodenko, who enjoyed looking at the framed photos of Cliburn in Russia and with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. "I was very excited with it all."
Before his busy concert season began, Kholodenko was able to spend time at home in Moscow with his wife, Sofia, and his daughter, Nika. He even let Nika play with his gold medal; luckily, she didn't drop it. "She's almost 3, but I'm not sure she really understands it just yet," Kholodenko said.
There were also a few parties to celebrate his Cliburn win, but they were "really intelligent, modern parties," he said.
With concerts in Fort Worth, San Francisco and Charlotte, Kholodenko doesn't know when he'll be back home in Ukraine again or when he'll see his family. But he hopes they will be able to join him on part of his concert tour in the United States (possibly in October or November), so he can show them the U.S.
Traveling to new cities in America has been a bonus for the pianist. Kholodenko, who likes to hike and take nature walks, said he was very impressed with Crater Lake. "It was so beautiful," he said, having a hard time trying to describe his amazement at the Oregon lake that formed inside a volcanic crater 6,000 feet above sea level.
And with all the concerts, Kholodenko is making new fans for classical music. Often, he said, he is greeted at the stage door after concerts by audience members who want to take his picture, some of which get posted on Facebook. There was one fan, he remembered, who seemed particularly moved by his performance.
"He said he was so touched by the music," Kholodenko said, "and in this case, I sensed that I did something special."

'We can win', Shorten tells Labor faithfulPUBLISHED: 23 Sep 2012 08:16:00 | UPDATED: 25 Sep 2012 00:47:09PUBLISHED: 24 Sep 2012 PRINT EDITION: 24 Sep 2012
"Have the courage of your convictions" ... Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten. Photo: Rob Homer
Alyssa McDonald
Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten has assured Labor voters that the Gillard government can win the next federal election in the annual "light on the hill" speech, delivered on Saturday night.
"We're competitive and we can win," Mr Shorten said. "Have the courage of your convictions and let the political cards fall as they may."
The speech is held annually in Bathurst as a tribute to Labor statesman and former Prime Minister Ben Chifley, who was born and lived in the city.
Mr Shorten urged his audience to have faith in the party's agenda, saying its future would be decided "entirely, as it always has done, on the people who work".
"Australia needs a healthy, highly educated, creative workforce. If Australia can create that kind of workforce, we shall prevail beyond the commodities boom and build a flexible, productive, competitive society that has a global brand for innovation and creativity.
"All the challenges Australia faces - whether its globalisation, the skills race, empowerment of people - all of them come back to the brains and ability of our people."
"Our prosperity as a nation depends on our equity as a people - from pre-school to post-work; from those with a disability to those without; from those of us who are Australian by birth to those who are Australian by choice."
The latest Nielsen poll, released last week, showed Labor's primary vote continuing to rise and Prime Minister Julia Gillard recording her best approval figures in seven months.

Answer #1Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, September 07, 2009, 08:30Master
Hi, this is indicating a misfire (cylinder not firing). This can be caused by a bad spark plug, ignition wires, cap and rotor, fuel injector, vacuum leak or an internal engine problem. The important thing is not to drive your van when it is running like this, you will damage the catalytic converter, which can be very expensive.

Afghan Cabinet to retain ministers favored by West -- and notorious ex-warlord
December 19, 2009
By Laura King
Afghan President Hamid Karzai is poised to unveil a new Cabinet that retains a number of respected ministers with the West's stamp of approval but also at least one notorious former warlord, aides disclosed Friday. Karzai's ministerial lineup, which could be announced as soon as today, is being closely watched by the United States and its Western allies as an indicator of whether he is serious about cracking down, as promised, on rampant corruption in his government. Corruption is many Afghans' chief grievance against their leaders, pervading nearly all aspects of daily life.
U.S. won't issue visa for Iran's pick for U.N. ambassador
April 11, 2014
By Paul Richter and Ramin Mostaghim
WASHINGTON - The White House will block Iran's choice of United Nations ambassador from entering the United States, officials said Friday, stoking new tension between Tehran and Washington as they approach a critical moment in negotiations over Iran's disputed nuclear program. Facing overwhelming bipartisan pressure from Congress, White House officials said Hamid Aboutalebi would not be granted a U.S. visa. The choice of the veteran diplomat set off an outcry in Washington because of his membership in the radical student group that stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and held U.S. diplomats hostage during Iran's 1979 revolution.
Afghan parliament again rejects the majority of Karzai's Cabinet picks
January 17, 2010
By Alex Rodriguez
The Afghan parliament Saturday once again rejected the majority of President Hamid Karzai's choices for his Cabinet, a rebuke likely to unnerve an international community that desperately wants the Afghan leader to forge ahead with reform plans. The rejection of 10 of the 17 nominees means that Karzai will have to go back to parliament a third time to gain approval for his Cabinet choices, and raises questions about his political strength. After he presented his initial slate of 24 nominees Jan. 2, lawmakers rejected 17 of them.
Iran's U.N. envoy isn't a threat
April 9, 2014
By The Times editorial board
The United States is irked that Iran has chosen as its representative to the United Nations a diplomat who apparently was involved with a student group that seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979. The embassy takeover, a violation of international law that led to the 444-day captivity of 52 American hostages, contributed to hostility between the two countries that only recently has begun to abate. But the Obama administration is making a mistake in publicly labeling as "not viable" the posting to the U.N. of Hamid Aboutalebi, an experienced diplomat aligned with Iran's reformist President Hassan Rouhani.
Afghan leader urges coalition troops to curb civilian deaths
February 21, 2010
By Laura King
Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Saturday made an emotional appeal for coalition troops to strive to prevent civilian deaths as a major offensive in the south by U.S., British and Afghan troops entered its second week. The president's remarks, in a speech to Afghan lawmakers, came as Western military officials announced that troops involved in the fighting for the Taliban stronghold of Marja had shot and killed an Afghan man a day earlier, mistakenly believing he was menacing a patrol with a makeshift bomb.
Afghan president's new Cabinet picks include controversial figure
January 10, 2010
By Laura King
President Hamid Karzai snubbed two prominent warlord figures in a new Cabinet lineup unveiled Saturday but unexpectedly offered a ministerial spot to the leader of a party linked to a Pakistan-based insurgent commander. The list of 16 Cabinet nominees also includes three women, one of them a prominent activist chosen as minister of women's affairs. Karzai had been sharply criticized when his previous lineup had only one woman. The Afghan parliament on Jan. 2 rejected 17 of the 23 prospective ministers that Karzai initially put forth, including former militia commander Ismail Khan and three nominees associated with another former commander, Rashid Dostum.
Afghan president pledges to support U.S. war plan
December 3, 2009
By Laura King
President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday pledged to "spare no effort" to help implement the revamped American war strategy, the latest test for an Afghan leader struggling to shake off the effects of a fraud-tainted election and counter widespread disillusionment among his own people. But Karzai did not directly respond to the latest U.S. demands that he root out corruption in his government. The Taliban, meanwhile, scoffed at the notion that the American troop increase announced Tuesday by President Obama, coupled with an intensive effort to train and build up the Afghan army and police, would pose a serious challenge to the insurgency.

Was Kahrizak prison doctor a victim or villain?
February 14, 2010
During a visit to the Tehran military courthouse one day last fall, Hossein and Hamid spotted the doctor. Memories from their five days at Kahrizak prison came flooding back. Prisoners seeking help were handed a few aspirin and told to go away. When they asked for bandages, the doctor struck some lightly with a club. One inmate had been beaten so badly on his feet that his toes were swollen and infected and he couldn't walk properly. He arranged for an appointment with the doctor, who told him, "Get lost before I beat you up," according to Hossein, who said he didn't even bother asking for help for his own injuries.
Afghanistan lawmaker lashes out at Karzai
April 4, 2010
Times Staff And Wire Reports
The speaker of Afghanistan's lower house of parliament, Younis Qanooni, on Saturday denounced a speech by President Hamid Karzai in which the Afghan leader blamed the West for last summer's fraud-ridden election. The parliament has been embroiled in a heated dispute with Karzai over conditions for parliamentary elections, sparring with him over his authority to appoint members of a fraud-auditing panel for the vote scheduled in September. In trying to downplay Karzai's angry speech Thursday, his aides contended that it was misconstrued.
Hamid Karzai's cozy history with the Taliban
February 9, 2014
By Sarah Chayes
If anyone is surprised that with each passing day Afghan President Hamid Karzai seems to veer more sharply away from the U.S. and toward the Taliban, it might be time to remember some history. Karzai himself was once asked to become a high-ranking member of the Taliban government. His every word and deed of late seems designed to appeal to the Taliban leadership and its backers in Pakistan, and to fracture the partnership between Afghanistan and the American people. In one recent display, he held a news conference for Afghan villagers who claimed U.S. bombing had killed a dozen neighbors on Jan. 15. They identified mourners in a photograph purportedly taken at a funeral the next day, Jan. 16. But it turned out the photo was from four years back.
Obama willing to extend deadline on U.S.-Afghanistan security deal
December 19, 2013
By Christi Parsons
WASHINGTON - President Obama is prepared to extend a Dec. 31 deadline in a concession to Afghan President Hamid Karzai aimed at getting him to approve a security agreement that would permit U.S. forces to stay in Afghanistan past 2014, aides say. The White House has warned for months that all U.S. forces will be withdrawn unless a deal is reached, and top advisors to Obama are increasingly comfortable with that prospect. At least two senior officials say the so-called zero option is strategically viable and politically acceptable, although it still isn't the preferred outcome.
Enabling Hamid Karzai
December 3, 2013
By Sarah Chayes
He's done it again. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has startled and dismayed the world. After an arduous diplomatic process to define the terms of a future international presence in Afghanistan, he balked at the last second, like a white-eyed horse in front of a jump. Karzai was on board when the language of the Security and Defense Cooperation Agreement with U.S. negotiators was finalized on Nov. 19. Less than a week later, a gathering of Afghan elders, officials and community leaders (known as a loya jirga )
U.S. may leave Karzai out of Afghanistan security pact
November 26, 2013
By David S. Cloud and David Zucchino
WASHINGTON - U.S. officials seeking to close a deal by year's end on the future of American troops in Afghanistan are exploring ways to bypass the country's mercurial president, Hamid Karzai, who negotiated the agreement but now refuses to sign it. Frustrated by Karzai's abrupt declaration that he won't ink the deal before Afghan elections in April, the Obama administration has begun pushing for Foreign Minister Zarar Ahmad Osmani or another top...
Afghan council votes to recommend approval of U.S. security deal
November 24, 2013
By David Zucchino
KABUL, Afghanistan - In a face-to-face rebuke to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a grand council of Afghan dignitaries voted Sunday to recommend approval of a proposed 10-year security accord with the United States by the end of the year, agreeing to an American-imposed deadline. The white-bearded chairman of the advisory council, or loya jirga , told Karzai that he miscalculated by threatening a signing delay until spring. Chairman Sibghatullah Mojaddedi lectured Karzai, warning that if he delays signing, "I'll resign and leave the country.
Karzai lobs new curveball on U.S.-Afghan security agreement
November 21, 2013
By David Zucchino
KABUL, Afghanistan - He expressed outrage, sarcasm and black humor. He cast himself as a lonely voice defending his country's pride and sovereignty against American arrogance. After a frantic week of last-minute negotiations, Afghan President Hamid Karzai delivered a tepid endorsement Thursday of a proposed 10-year security pact with the United States in a rambling speech to an Afghan tribal gathering. But he then surprised attendees - and the world - by saying Afghanistan might not sign the accord until next spring.
Karzai's Cabinet list balances conflicting demands
December 20, 2009
By Laura King
The Cabinet nominees announced by President Hamid Karzai on Saturday underscore the competing demands the Afghan leader confronts as he embarks on a troubled second term in office. Karzai, inaugurated last month after a fraud-tainted election, is trying to simultaneously placate restive Western backers, woo his disillusioned public and pacify powerful warlords who have helped keep him in power. The Cabinet list, leaked by presidential aides a day before being presented to lawmakers Saturday, retained some well-regarded ministers in posts considered crucial to rebuilding Afghanistan and fighting the Taliban.
Afghan Taliban makes politically savvy moves
June 20, 2013
By Hashmat Baktash and Mark Magnier, Los Angeles Times
KABUL, Afghanistan - Even as Afghan President Hamid Karzai this week canceled security negotiations with the Obama administration and suspended his involvement in the U.S. attempt to revive peace talks with the Taliban, the insurgents made some political moves as fleet-footed as some of their guerrilla tactics, analysts said. This comes as Afghanistan's neighbors rethink how their interests would be affected by a political reconciliation involving the Taliban, as much of a long shot as that seems.
Afghan president cancels security talks with U.S.
June 19, 2013
By Hashmat Baktash, Mark Magnier and Kathleen Hennessey, Los Angeles Times
KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghanistan's president abruptly canceled ongoing security negotiations with the U.S., with his office charging Wednesday that the Obama administration had said one thing and done another while arranging peace talks with the insurgent Taliban movement. President Obama quickly rejected the criticism, saying, "We had anticipated that at the outset there were going to be some areas of friction, to put it mildly, in getting this thing off the ground. " President Hamid Karzai's reputation in Washington as a mercurial U.S. ally was further reinforced by his administration's decision, which came a day before U.S. officials were scheduled to begin direct negotiations with the Taliban.

Ok, I was asked to set up a controlled assessment environment meeting the following requirements...
Coursework in exam conditions.
* No Internet.
* No Home Drive.
* No network resources.
* No pen drives
Students will need:
* A log on
* An area to save work where after the assessment they can no longer access.
* To be able to gain access again to the same area in a following session.
* No access to say geography controlled assessment work when sitting a maths controlled assessment (for example).
Here's what I did...
Set up an AD group called "exam lock down" This group has denied share permission to all network shares.
Set up an AD group called "Controlled Assessment" This group is used to allow access to areas.
Set up an AD group for the subject in question (Business studies) called "controlled assessment business studies"
Set up an AD group for classes (so students sitting the assessment)
Created a new hidden share on our file server \\server\CA$ within that a business Studies folder. Share permissions on this only allow access to members of "Controlled assessment" AD group.
Created a new GPO applied to all school XP workstations.
This is a subject specific GPO "Controlled assessment business studies"
This GPO runs a logon script which
1) creates a new folder \\server\CA$\Business studies\%username%
2) Maps T: to that folder
3) deletes all other network drives (doesn't always work but share permission denies access if they still see them)
4) removes context menus
5) Merges a .reg file which disables USB drives (This requires editing registry of workstation to allow permission to a specific key for students, done manually but will be changed on our master images and rolled out with next deployment) Reg file hosted in a read only share accessible only to controlled assessment group.
To reverse the effect of 5) there is a log on script to merge settings that enable it again for all users on all work stations.
So now when a controlled assessment is on.
My self or technician adds the correct class to the correct Controlled assessment group and the students log on as normal but in a controlled environment. At the end of the session they need to be removed from the controlled assessment group to receive regular access.
By adding the students back to the same group they receive the same mapped drive and hence access to the same work.
An additional useful tool to help supervise this is VNC installed on all desktops (free desktop viewer utility) and another free utility for shadowing the whole room at once. Meaning the teacher can sit at the console and watch whats happening on their desktops. The students don't know they are being watched nor can close the VNC service.
It's still early days and a few things I'd like to improve...
* This will result in a lot of GPOs but at least no masses of accounts, one per subject
*The redirection of my documents to T: didn't work but I'm sure this can be solved. (double clicking my documents in the controlled assessment throws an error trying to connect to their normal home drive)
I guess if this helps leave some Thanks. I'm more interested in questions and potential exploits. The first session just ran without a hitch. Students aren't dismissed until an ICT support staff deactivates the controlled environment.

-Grooming By Em & Staff
From wiggly pups to ornery senior pets we take time to make sure each groom is a positive experience. We groom within the best interest of your pet's health.
Our customers are of the utmost importance, our staff will hang on to your each and every word to ensure your satisfaction. We're happy to work with you to ensure you and your pet leave happy.
Your pet is not just a pet here. You can expect products and services that are safe and effective.
Emily or Em as many friends and clients have come to know her started Grooming by Em in 2004. At the time she was a prominent veterinary technician, hospital administrator and pet groomer at an animal hospital. During her time working the veterinary field she came to the belief that educating clients about basic grooming was key to improving a pet's quality of life and general health.
Unfortunately at the same time Emily was also diagnosed with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, limited schleroderma and Raynaud's phenomenon which eventually limited her ability to groom on a regular basis. Despite these obstacles and hardships she managed to start and run her own business. She continues to strive in the grooming field, educate and share her knowledge and experience to each groomer that works for her. Even if she is not available any of her groomers can and will serve you in the same spirit, gentle care and expertise that she does.
I adore this place. Javier, cuts my pup's nails and he is gentle, sweet and fast! I love that Em actually works at her business, I love that she is there and is so totally about the dogs, as much as she is about making sure the humans are happy. I really appreciate that they are open on the weekends and their prices are fair. My pup can be a tough one to trim her nails and the experience is easier and more professional here than any other place we've gone to before.
I feel relieved, and lucky, that I found this place.
Pippa been going there since they opened. They are not only knowledgeable about grooming, but many other doggie needs. They have helped her with hotspots, chigger infestation, fleas and many other needs. Pippa is always happy to go into the store unlike some other places where she has been scared to enter into the establishment. Their staff is always patient and friendly! I would recommend Grooming by Em to anyone!
I love Em! Just that simple…and so does Lola (my yorkie). I drive 45 min with a whining dog as opposed to 5 min…it's just that worth it! If you are looking for a groomer, please check them out. My Lola's coat is sooo clean and shiny and soft…it just blows in the wind! The prices are great! The staff is great! Check them out if you don't believe me. Em is a gem!
I was nervous about taking my shaggy puppy for his first haircut, but was quickly reassured when I saw the way that Em handled him in the waiting area. Patient and gentle, with lots of cuddles and kisses. It was clear that Em loved animals, and that my puppy was in great hands.
I am very happy, and will definitely come back the next time he needs to be groomed.
I dropped my 95 lbs golden mut looking, well, like a mut, and picked up a show dog. Em and her staff clearly know what they're doing. I've been to grooming facilities all over DC. They are 1) not fun to get to and 2)do a sub-par job. This is the first groomer I've taken my dog to that I can confidently say I'll be back. Very, very happy with this place.
Nestled in a little, very warehouse-ish looking shopping center facade, but this place is definitely a diamond in the rough.
Very reasonable prices and my dog came out with a shiny clean coat. Also, opted for the de-shedding treatment, and it seems to have helped quite a bit with my dog's shedding issues.

Nebraska's January Unemployment Is 3.8 Percent
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) â¿¿ Nebraska's unemployment rate remained unchanged in January, matching the 3.8 percent unemployment seen in December, the state Labor Department reported Thursday.
The rate was less than half a percentage point lower than the 4.1 percent in January 2012 and was less than half the national rate of 7.9 percent in January, the department said. In December, Nebraska's unemployment rate was the second-lowest in the country, trailing only North Dakota. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics had not released its compilation of states' January unemployment statistics by Thursday.
"Not only does Nebraska's unemployment rate continue to be one of the lowest in the country, but there has also been a $31 million decrease in unemployment benefits paid from 2011 to 2012," Nebraska Labor Commissioner Catherine Lang said in a written statement.
The number of unemployed people in Nebraska was estimated at 39,574 in January, which is higher than the revised December figure of 38,894, but lower than the 41,215 in January last year.The number of people with jobs in Nebraska in January was estimated at nearly 1,042,000, compared with nearly 1,036,000 in December. A year ago, the figure was nearly 1,009,000. In Nebraska's largest city, Omaha, the preliminary unemployment rate rose to 5 percent, up from 4.1 percent in December but the same as in January a year ago. In Lincoln, the unemployment rate also rose in January to 4.2, up from 3.4 percent in December. A year ago, the January rate was 3.8 percent. The unemployment rates for Lincoln and Omaha are not seasonally adjusted, the department has said, so they cannot be directly compared to the state unemployment rate. Here are preliminary area labor market unemployment rates for January, followed by the revised December rates:

This area contains forest, savanna, and dolomite glades. Facilities/features include firearms and archery ranges and the Caney Mountain Natural Area (1,330 acres). Interpretive nature programs are held at various times during the year. This area is located five miles north of Gainesville on Route 181, then .50 mile west on a gravel entrance road.
The area consists of more than 6,000 acres of rugged forest terrain in prime Ozark country, plus sections of the Meramec River, Huzzah and Courtois creeks. Take a canoe or kayak to access these streams for a day of fishing and floating.
For hikers, the area includes six miles of the Ozark Trail. The Narrows, located in the extreme southwest portion of the area, is a narrow hogback ridge that features extremely steep topography and rapidly changing vegetation from ridge to creek bottom. Bear Cave and Bat Cave add to the site's geology.
Primitive campsites are open from September 15-May 15 only.
To reach the area, cross the Meramec River at the end of Route H at Onondaga Cave State Park; or go northeast of Steelville on Route E and cross the low-water bridge at Huzzah Creek.
This area affords a glimpse of one of the jewels of the Ozarks, the Meramec River. Most of the area is home to lush forestland. Sheer cliffs along the Meramec River form the western border of the area, giving a scenic view of the river valley and surrounding hills. The wheelchair-accessible Woodland Trail offers hikers of all abilities glimpses of the river as well. Other trails provide hiking, horseback and bicycle riding. The area contains six caves, a great blue heron rookery and abundant wildlife. A number of streams and a spring are found on the site. Don't forget to pack your fishing gear for a chance at hooking bass, catfish and sunfish. To reach the area, take I-44 to Route 185 near Sullivan. Exit south, go five miles and look for the cantilever sign.
This predominantly forest conservation area, located off Route 8, is one of the most scenic state-owned properties in Missouri. Facilities include a gravel bar boat launch (no concrete ramp) and two permanent streams (Dry Fork Creek, Meramec River). Hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, dog training, launching and landing boats are allowed 24 hours a day in areas where these activities are permitted.

"Live so that when the people in your life think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you."

"To the extent that we are intent on helping others in and around our lives, if we do not take action on our intentions, there is no outward evidence that we are any more genuine in character than someone steeped in narcissistic behavior where their life is the only life that matters."
"The quality of one's thoughts depends on the quality of his character and the character built depends on the lessons learnt from surroundings, upbringings and parental values. The person's character does not necessarily reflect only on spoken or shared words of wisdom but the real actions,often impulsive, taken to support the right point for the right cause at the right time with no place for selfishness, jealousy, bias and fake nature in making decisions."
"Healthy character of wealthy mind living in the worthy heart of the earthy man always mentions the name of the author on sharing his original thoughts or words of wisdom."

Re-starting PT after illness
|Sat, 02-07-2009 - 10:10pm
I had just begun to PT my younger DD (who turned 3 in December) on the 1st.
|Tue, 02-10-2009 - 10:19am
Rebecca, Hi and welcome to the Toilet Teaching board.
From personal experience I would say you should not have that much of an issue going back to PT. With my first DS we took many breaks for various reasons and each time we started back up it was easier. He retained all the previous times from training. I would suggest telling your DD that you are going to go back to using diapers only while she is sick, and then once she has recovered she will go back to underwear and using the potty. I hope your DD fells better soon. Please keep us updated on your DD's progress.

The death toll from floods and mudslides near Brazil's Rio de Janeiro has reached 224, with authorities fearing that it could reach as high as 400 people.
Four bodies were pulled out of the rubble at dawn on Saturday in the Niteroi slum of Morro do Bumba, where up to 200 people are believed to be buried.
Officials said the heavy rain had forced about 50,000 people to leave their homes, either because their homes were damaged or because they were ordered to leave due to fear of fresh landslides.
About 150 people worked through the night searching for survivors in Morro do Bumba, as a stream of lorries came and went loaded with debris.
"There is a possibility" of finding survivors, Marival Gomes, Niteroi's civil defence chief, said.
"It's not easy but there is hope."
Low hopes
Firefighters working at the site , however, said there was little chance of finding new survivors after part of the hillside fell away and swallowed everything in its path on Wednesday.
The slum had been built on top of what had been a rubbish landfill site, making the foundations very weak.
The mudslide demolished more than 50 houses as well as churches and stores in its path, leaving a rubble-strewn gash of earth on the hillside.
Marlene Pineiro, a survivor, said she and her family heard a loud noise as the earth began moving and managed to jump out of a window before it collapsed.
"We ran and everything starting coming down ... the kitchen, my brothers' room, the living room," she said.
"But in the other room it stopped, so when that happened we opened the window ... we jumped into the woods and ran away."
About 200 mudslides have hit the Rio area since Monday, triggered by the worst rains in 40 years.
Most of the victims lived in hillside slums, known as favelas, which are usually flimsy structures built on steep hillsides that are susceptible to landslides.
More than a million people live in favelas across the Rio area.
Experts blamed government "complacency" for allowing the country's most destitute to build housing in areas at risk of natural disasters, such as on the sides of steep hills.
But city officials have rebuffed questions about why so many slums were allowed to be built on unstable land, saying the priority is finding survivors and helping to shelter those made homeless.
"This isn't the time to question why these constructions were allowed, it is the time for solidarity," Sergio Cabral, Rio's governor, said as he inspected the disaster zone.
Brazil's federal government has sent troops to help rescue and recovery efforts and on Thursday announced a $113m emergency fund to help Rio state cope with the disaster.

New Music: CeeLo Green f/ Lauriana Mae – 'Only You'
CeeLo Green provided the soundtrack to our holidays with his Christmas album CeeLo's Magic Moment. After taking leave from "The Voice," the Lady Killer gets back to making love songs with his smooth new single "Only You," a duet with Atlantic Records signee Lauriana Mae. The tender tune, penned by Skylar Grey, will appear on his upcoming as-yet-untitled album.
"It's about two people on different paths, hoping for the best, hoping that those paths lead to each other," CeeLo tells Rolling Stone. "It's like love lost or the acknowledgment of a love lost, but it's still optimistic."
He will kick off his "Loberace" residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas starting February 27.

Marlins Manager Ozzie Guillen Goes Two Games Before Offending Everybody
|"I don't really even know what I'm saying with my mouth anymore."
Sponsor Content
|"I don't really even know what I'm saying with my mouth anymore."
Sponsor Content
The carpetbagger twins, Loria and the midget Samson, are getting exactly what they deserve, as is the pretentious and spineless cuban population of Miami.
Instead of protesting Ozzie, every person who was offended should form a battalion, if you can get that many people, and overthrow the Castro regime. If Castro is such bad dude and destroyed your family go overthrow his government. If he's as bad as Hitler then Do something. As a former Marine and an American, nothing would stop me from getting what was mine if Castro took my land and killed my family. Nothing is stopping these exiles from doing that except the fear of death. If you are that offended go after the real target of your anger....CASTRO...not The manager of a baseball team.
Beyond the borders of Miami-Dade County, no one gives a shit.
Will he extol the virtues of Hitler next week?
Sun-Sen reports that Joe Martinez, the Chairman of the Miami-Dade Board of Commissioners hilariously demonstrated the depth of his intellect by writing "To say you respect Fidel Castro, suggests he also respects dictators such as Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, Adolf Hitler, and Sadam Hussein". Heh.
This will make a good chapter for the NewTimes' upcoming book/compilation of articles entitled "Bad Stuff 'bout the Marlins"
Just last week Ozzie said he gets drunk at the hotel when on road trips.......he says sweet nothings about Fidel.......and Sid Rosenberg gets a DUI !!! God how I miss the Maddog!!! Rest in peace Mr. Mandich.
You can respect Castro for his courage in putting his life on the line to overthrow the repressive, corrupt Batista regime. You can respect Fidel's intelligence and prodigious memory -- those 5-hour speeches aren't extemporaneous, folks. You can respect his consistent "My Way" administration of the island's government, and you can respect the fact that, in the 500+-year history of Cuba, Castro is the first leader who made Cuba independent of the USA. All that being said, El Comandante is an all-time bastardo (literally and figuratively) who has deprived millions of Cubans of a decent life for more than half a century. Anybody can go on talk radio or hold up a sign. Castro and his brother and their little band of men showed true courage in the late '50s. You have to give him that.
It is amazing that the CIA in all its sneaky glory hasn't managed to make Fidel the asshole dead. The Castro brothers must sacrifice a whole buncha chickens.
Offend everybody? Nah, just some of the Dade county lunatic fringe, but give him a chance, he will eventually offend just about everyone.
Can't we leave Hitler out of it for once?
I think Neil Rogers would have days of programming, including songs, from these turkeys. Talk radio is totally lame by comparison now. Pitiful.
The only activity that deprived Cuba of it's decent life is the U S embargo. For a bird's eye view of the real story of Cuba and Fidel's revolution, try Daniel Hopsicker's , Barry and the Boys. Good luck finding a copy.
There are a million arguments on both sides. While it doesn't sound like Guillen as much thought into his statement as you did, it seems his intentions were closer to your statement than to "I love repressing people." People are touchy I guess.
Godwin's Law. We can never leave Hitler out of it.
It's called a joke folks ...
True dat. And Dan Le Batard is apparently right there with Jackmahogoff. I think that all of Dan Le Batard's sports coverage for all of these years, building up local and even national respect, has really just been a build-up to this one singular moment when he can use his platform and run around screaming about Hitler on this whole thing. Thanks Dan for bringing some rationality into this issue. Job well done.

Sarasota Bay receives good report card
Date: November 24, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Sarasota Bay Estuary Program reports a 50% reduction in nitrogen pollution and seagrass levels that are 30% above 1950s levels in Sarasota Bay.
In 1995, the estuary program set a goal of reducing nitrogen by 48% in the Sarasota Bay community with the intent of reestablishing seagrass in the bay.
To date, the estuary program reports about 4,040 acres of new seagrass habitat have been created with an additional 5,158 acres converted from patchy seagrasses to continuous covering beds in Sarasota Bay.
Seagrass recovery is listed as a major element of the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program's Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan for Sarasota Bay.
Scallops also returned to Sarasota Bay in 2008, the estuary program reports. And stormwater projects also have been implemented regionally to reduce pollution. Citizens Action Plans also have been developed and implemented annually by the Citizens Action Committee supporting pollution reduction.

Micachu & the Shapes and the London Sinfonietta, 'Chopped & Screwed' (Rough Trade)
- SPIN Rating:7 of 10
Label: Rough Trade
Chopped & Screwed isn't Micachu & the Shapes' official follow-up to 2009's Jewellery, but it does feel like the next logical step. While their debut deconstructed pop songwriting, this one-off performance of clattering, unorthodox material (written for chamber orchestra the London Sinfonietta) builds it back from scratch. Ringleader Mica Levi tones down her voice to a nearly unrecognizable morphine drip and the hooks are more often percussive rather than melodic. Still, Chopped gives a thrilling, real-time glimpse into one of indie's true adventurers creating her legacy on the fly.

What are Catawba/Catalpa Worms?
Catawba worms are actually not worms at all, they are the larvae of a Moth that only eats the leaves of a "Catalpa/Catawba" tree. They are seasonal, attract many predators that like to eat them (besides fish). Making them hard to find, and a consistent supply of Catawba worms almost impossible to come by. Lots of the "old timers" search far and wide to find this legendary fish bait, as it is some of the best around for catfish and panfish.

Batman is the most down-to-earth of all the superheroes. He has no special powers from being born on a distant world or bitten by a radioactive spider. All that protects him from the Joker and other Gotham City villains are his wits and a physique shaped by years of training—combined with the vast fortune to reach his maximum potential and augment himself with Batmobiles, Batcables and other Bat-goodies, of course. In the 2005 blockbuster Batman Begins, vengeful Bruce Wayne (played by Christian Bale) hones his killer instincts in the streets for seven years before landing himself in a Bhutanese prison, where he falls in with the mysterious League of Shadows, who teach him the way of the ninja. The Dark Knight, the next movie in the Batman franchise, opens in theaters Friday. To investigate whether someone like Bruce Wayne could physically transform himself into a one-man wrecking crew, ScientificAmerican.com turned to E. Paul Zehr, associate professor of kinesiology and neuroscience at the University of Victoria in British Columbia and a 26-year practitioner of Chito-Ryu karate-do. Zehr's book, Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Superhero (The Johns Hopkins University Press), due out in October, tackles our very question. An edited transcript of the conversation follows.

Lease of Power Privilege (LOPP)
General Information
A lease of power privilege (LOPP) is a contractual right given to a non-federal entity to use a Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) facility (e.g. dam or conduit) for electric power generation consistent with Reclamation project purposes. A LOPP project must not impair the efficiency of Reclamation generated power or water deliveries, jeopardize public safety, or negatively affect any other Reclamation project purpose. A LOPP is used on Reclamation dams authorized for Federal hydropower development and all Reclamation conduits.
Non-Federal Hydroelectric Power Development
Pursuant to the Bureau of Reclamation Small Conduit Hydropower Development and Rural Jobs Act (Public Law 113-24), all development of non-federal hydropower on Reclamation conduits requires a LOPP. The Act further requires LOPPs be offered first to the irrigation district(s) or water users association(s) operating or receiving water from the Reclamation conduit.
The development of non-federal hydropower on Reclamation dams requires either a LOPP or a License issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Permitting authority is mutually exclusive; each Reclamation dam is either within Reclamation's or FERC's jurisdiction. Accordingly, development proceeds through either a LOPP or FERC License - but not both.
To ensure the timely development of non-federal hydropower on Reclamation dams, FERC and Reclamation have established a cooperative process for determining the appropriate permitting authority. The process is outlined in the two Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) documents available below. In accordance with the two MoUs, Reclamation dams authorized for Federal hydroelectric power development are eligible to be developed through a Reclamation LOPP. Likewise, those Reclamation dams not authorized for Federal hydroelectric power development are eligible to be developed through a FERC License.
|Memorandum of Understanding
|MoU between the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of the Department of Energy and the Water and Power Resources Service (Reclamation) of the Department of the Interior
|MoU establishes a process to promote the non-Federal development of hydroelectric energy at existing Water and Power (Reclamation) facilities.
|MoU between the Federal Regulatory Commission and the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation
|MoU establishes procedural steps and a set of rebuttable presumptions to guide the analysis of the agencies' respective jurisdiction over hydro development at Reclamation sites.
Initiating Non-Federal Development
To initiate non-federal hydropower development on a Reclamation conduit, developers are instructed to submit a Formal Request to the appropriate Reclamation Regional Director. Once the Formal Request is received, the developer will be notified and the project will proceed through the LOPP process.
To initiate non-federal hydropower development on a Reclamation dam, developers are instructed to submit either a Formal Request to the appropriate Reclamation Regional Director or a Notice of Intent to FERC. Developers are free to choose which agency to contact. Once the Formal Request or Notice of Intent is received, the two agencies will convene to determine the appropriate permitting authority. Once the appropriate permitting authority is determined, the developer will be notified and the project will proceed through either the LOPP or FERC License process.
Reclamation Regional Director contact information is available here.
Information regarding the FERC Notice of Intent submission process is available here.
Information regarding the FERC License process is available here.
The Reclamation regional contacts provided below are able to assist with questions related to Reclamation facilities and projects. Note that a Formal Request example document is provided in the LOPP Flowcharts, Example and Guidance Documents section.

LOPP Process, Responsibilities, Timelines, and Charges Directive and Standard
The Lease of Power Privilege (LOPP) Processes, Responsibilities, Timelines, and Charges Directive and Standard (D&S) establishes the process requirements and charges associated with the non-federal development of hydropower at Reclamation facilities authorized through a LOPP. The Lease of Power Privilege (LOPP) Processes, Timelines, and Charges Directive and Standard - and appendixes - are available below.
The initial D&S was published in September 2012 and revised in February 2014 to reflect Public Law 113-24 process requirements. The February 2014 revision was released as a Temporary Reclamation Manual Release with a concurrent public comment period. The current D&S, published in September 2014 incorporates internal and external comments submitted to Reclamation. Thank you to those parties that submitted comments.

To guide developers through the LOPP process - from the Formal Request for non-federal hydropower development through project construction - LOPP flowcharts are available below. Each flowchart reflects the LOPP process as outlined in the Lease of Power Privilege (LOPP) Processes, Timelines, and Charges D&S. Each flowchart references supplemental example and guidance documents that may be accessed below:
Current LOPP Development Catalog
A catalog of current LOPP development is available here. The catalog is to be updated to reflect new development, as necessary. For additional information regarding federal and non-federal renewable energy projects (including LOPP development) currently online or in development on Reclamation land, facilities, and water bodies, see the Bureau of Reclamation Renewable Energy Update on the Reclamation Hydropower Program homepage.
Guiding Legislation
The basic policies governing Reclamation's right to contract a LOPP are set forth in a number of laws. These laws are shown below. Note that project and/or facility - specific legislation may apply. A catalog of all Reclamation projects and facilities, including specific authorizing legislation, is available here.
|Reclamation Act
|Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to develop irrigation and hydropower projects in the 17 Western States.
|Town Sites and Power Development Act
|Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to lease surplus power or power privileges.
|Reclamation Project Act
|Act extends the contract term to 40 years for sale of power or lease of power privileges, giving preference to public entities.
|Bureau of Reclamation Small Conduit Hydropower Development and Rural Jobs Act
|An act to authorize all Bureau of Reclamation conduit facilities for hydropower development under Federal Reclamation law, and for other purposes.

"I am extremely happy with the way the invitations came out! This is the 2nd time in 2 months that I've ordered invitations from Tiny Prints & I would highly recommend them!"
"This design was my daughter's favorite from several I gave her to choose from. We used a senior picture taken on railroad tracks for an outdoor, country look and added her graduation party details. We got many compliments on this card."
"The card was easy to personalize and we got a proof in a short amount of time. We asked that the details be flipped to the other side of the card to accomodate the picture we wanted to use and that was not a problem. There was a two day time delay from when we saw the first proof and requested changes before seeing a final proof. We were happy with the quality of the final product."
"Hi, I love tinyprints for the modern designs you can find and this 8th grade graduation invitation is no exception. Arrived quickly and in perfect order. I will keep coming back!"
"Invitation design was beautiful and classy. Loved the gold colors. I chose gold envelopes as well and they looked great together. I would definitely choose this product again."

Lost the ISPConfig login page

Lost the ISPConfig login page
Okay. I went back to the drawing board, formatted the drive, and reinstalled per the "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 9.04 [ISPConfig 3]" tutorial. All seemed to go well.
I am behind a router and I
able get to the ISPconfig login internally by going to 192.168.1.26:8080. Externally I was not able to.
When I would enter the external ipaddress in firefox [68.113.170.x:8080, the dns is not yet registered, therefore I cannot enter server1.example.com:8080), I got an error message that said "you do not have permission to access / on this server". Yes, "/"
I did some research and began to play with the router port forwarding settings and the port settings in ISPconfig. I tried 8081, 8088, and a few more, with no luck. Now I cannot reach the ISPConfig login screen, externally or internally.
A little more research showed that my router (Lynksys) has a default Remote Management Port of 8080. I changed this to another port.
I tried to change the ISPConfig port following the instructions here:
But none of the commands seem to work for me.
For instance:
"c/init.d/ispconfig_server stop" and "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ispconfig_server stop "
both return
bash: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server: No such file or directory (or similar)
bash: [server1.example.com][68.113.170.x]: command not found
(With internal or external ip address, with or without brackets)
It almost seems that ISPConfig got uninstalled, but there are plenty of ISPConfig files on the machine, mostly in /usr/local and /var/lib/mysql
This project was intended to help me learn some Linux. I guess I'm doing it the hard way, by screwing up. But then, that's how I learned Windoze.
Once again any help is greatly appreciated.

Been playing it on my Galaxy S4 and largely impressed with how well the game controls and its presentation. Oh and it's free, obviously loosing some depth that the console version will provide.
Oh dear, PES 2014 on PC is still way better than Fifa 2014, even with all the bugs in it...
Agreed, FIFA is the best football game out in the market right now
I find it weird that it's just getting real ball physics now.
