OK, hoping the 3rd time's the charm, I'm going to try onions from seed again, but need some help. I've got several varieties: Courtland, Copra, and Gunnison. All are approx 100-105 days. I've read that others start seed mid Jan to early Feb, but the 105 days would run out before the summer solstice when the onions begin the bulbing process. So, when to plant? Also, as a related question, I've read that you subtract 10-15 days if using starts. Surely those are older than 10-15 days!! My onions made it 10-15 days in the past before they croaked, but they were only the size of blades of grass. What gives? |

I'm no expert, but I start onions now (early January). Seedlings always seem very small when I set them out, so I'm trying to give them time to grow more. I've never had a problem with maturity -- they start to fall over about the 4th of July. |
When I used to grow from seed, I'd plant the seeds right around the 15th of January. That gave them enough time to get established and start to thicken before I set them out in early April. I'd let them get to 3-4 inches tall inside in the flat and then give them a haircut to keep them at that height to keep them manageable. I wouldn't worry too much on the days - the onions know when to bulb and I've never had them try to bulb early. I've never had any luck at all from starts - I guess I got them too big or stressed them since they always bolted but they are definitely older than 15 days and I'd guess that the reason to say 10-15 days would be that the sets need a bunch of time to re-establish their roots before starting any top growth. If your onions are coming up and only lasting a couple of weeks, I'd check your starting mix and moisture ... it sounds like they are damping off due to too much water. |
- Posted by wolverine1012 6 SW OH (My Page) on Sat, Jan 12, 13 at 21:34
One more question: What does everyone use as a planting medium? |
I never use domes or covers over any seeds that I start (to keep moisture in). I believe air circulation helps prevent the mold that causes damping off. Wow, it's already Jan 13. So onion seed planting needs to be this weekend or next. Got to run and dust off the grow lights now! My 2013 seeds have arrived. This year will be Candy and Ailsa Craig. I seem to have lost last year's left over Walla Walla seeds. They aren't in the refrigerator. |
As a planting medium, I've used both the standard Miracle Grow seed starting mix and the bargain seed starting mix (which was mostly perlite / peat moss). Both worked ok though I found that the MG stuff grew taller seedlings and I had better control with the unfertilized stuff and feeding occasionally with dilute fish emulsion. Standard potting soil didn't work at all due to the coarseness of the mix (too much bark). |

Wow! Nice garden... I mean farm, madroneb. Very nice. |
I usually use Jiffy because that's what I can get in my tiny town. I think the important thing is to use a clean mix and plant the seeds a half inch deep. Too shallow and they don't have sufficient anchorage. When planting onion seeds more than a year old, I prime them by putting them in lightly dampened paper towels for a day or two. I start bulb onion and shallot seeds through Jan, then break until March and start cippolinis and scallions. Japanese winter onions (which bulb in May) get direct-seeded in late August and stay under a row cover tunnel all winter. |
Planatus: WHAT are Japanese winter onions???? I also live in Z6. Can they take New England winters? Do they need double tunnel protection? Where do you find seed/plants? Madrondeb: How deep is the soil mix in your trays? Do you move them around? I would have to carry them in and out for best light, so stable planting trays are important here. |
QBush, Madrone trees are quite amazing aren't they? They make great firewood also. The trays I use are 3-4" deep and can be moved easily. Planatus will likely offer more info on his onions but in the meantime you can type "overwintering onions" at the bottom of the page to search this forum and you'll get some info. -Mark |

The seeds are now planted. Being unable to find any trays at this time of the year, I made do with cut off gallon milk jugs, plastic bakery containers, and just about anything else I could find around the house that would give me a soil depth of at least 1". Keeping my fingers crossed... |

Time to follow up. The seedlings survived this year. Yeah!! We planted them out the day before yesterday, but even after growing since Feb 7-over 10 weeks-most were still the size of blades of grass. All were planted. Now let's see how many survive. What could I have done to make the plants a little more substantial? They got about 16 hours of light a day and about 4 doses of a liquid fertilizer (like Miraclegrow). |

Wolverine: I started my onions later than January (but I know farmers who start in January, with great results). I do not expect them to be much more than "blades of grass" by now. I just started a day or two ago to plant them out. I was not sure whether it was too early but it seems that this is the right time. The picture is taken through a screen with a cell phone. That was maybe early April. They do not look much bigger now. They look the same as what I have bought at nurseries. For starter mix, I use Gaia Green Living Soil with earthworm castings. I soak seeds in liquid seaweed and/or water them in with liquid seaweed in the water... most seeds sprout within a few days (the ones that take a few weeks still take a few weeks but the germination rates are typically very high). I lose almost nothing and the babies are all very strong. |

Well, at least some progress. My seedlings survived this year, but never "bulked up." I bought some plants and they were about twice the size of mine when I set them out. Most of the purchased ones are thriving, but the ones I started are not. The seeds were planted mid January and got 16 hours of light a day. They were fed regularly with a liquid fertilizer (like Miraclegrow). When they were planted out, mine only had a couple of leaves but had good root systems. I really want to figure out how to make this work. Any great ideas? |
I think it's all about your soil. Check your ph, make sure the drainage is good, make sure you're watering enough, but not too much. Chemical fertilizer sometimes needs to be ph balanced before using. Consider using fish emulsion instead. Buy the best soil you can find or make your own. Just a few ideas. -Mark |

What's more fun than seeing a baby alligator? Getting to hold one! At least, that's what our Digital Nomad Andrew Evans thought when he visited the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge on Louisiana's Gulf Coast recently. The refuge is open to the public and visitors can hop on an airboat to go alligator spotting, or play with month-old alligators like Andrew did (Don't worry, their teeth aren't that big…yet!)
To learn about Andrew's day with the gators, watch his video, then scroll through his tweets to relive the experience as it happened.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Sag and droop in the breasts caused by weight loss, pregnancy, aging, and the natural effects of gravity can be reversed and the bustline restored to a "perky," beautiful contour with a breast lift (mastopexy) from our plastic surgeons at the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group. Many of our doctors at LIPSG have specialty training in breast surgery procedures and have attended some of the most respected medical institutions in the world. Our team is skilled and experienced with breast lift procedures that can give your breasts a natural-looking appearance without looking as though you have had plastic surgery. We are committed to restoring your breasts to a more youthful shape and eliminating the appearance of sagginess and loss of volume.
Contact our plastic surgeons in to schedule a consultation for breast lift surgery and you can discuss your goals for a firmer, more contoured bustline.

Breast Lift
A breast lift improves a drooping appearance in the breasts by removing extra skin and tightening the skin of the breast area, thereby "lifting" the breasts to a firmer position. A breast lift can also reposition and improve the appearance of the areola (the dark-pigmented skin surrounding the nipple). Although a breast lift can provide a more youthful-looking bustline, it does not add volume or fullness to the breasts. However, this can be achieved by a breast lift in combination with breast augmentation.
Although breast lift surgery can provide a number of aesthetic benefits and address a range of concerns, it may not be the best option for everyone. Since pregnancy and breastfeeding can stretch the skin of the breasts, our LIPSG plastic surgeon can discuss alternatives to breast lift surgery for women who are planning to have children.
To schedule a consultation for breast lift (mastopexy) surgery, please contact the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group. At your initial consultation, one of our plastic surgeons will discuss all aspects of the procedure with you, and address any questions or concerns you may have. You will also have the opportunity to view a computer-generated image of your likely results with the Vectra 3-D imaging system. This technology is capable of combining patient data with photos of the breast area to form an image of the possible outcome. The Vectra system can give you a general idea of how you may look after surgery.
Breast Lift Procedure
Our plastic surgeons at the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group custom-tailor breast lift procedures to your own unique needs. Surgery is typically performed with an incision around the areola following down to the crease of the breast. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened. The breasts and nipples are lifted to a higher position, and the incisions closed. Breast lift procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. The entire procedure usually takes less than two hours to complete.
Breast lift surgery can be performed at one of our new, accredited operating rooms located at LIPSG's Garden City facility. These state-of-the-art, fully equipped rooms are certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF), indicating the highest standard of care.
Breast Lift Recovery
Some degree of bruising and swelling can be expected after a breast lift procedure. Any residual scarring from the incisions should be very mild and should fade with time. Most patients are able to return to normal daily routines after about a week; however, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for several weeks after surgery.
Breast Lift Risks
Your plastic surgeon here at the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group will take every precaution to ensure your safety and the success of your procedure. All risks and benefits will be discussed with you at your initial consultation. You are encouraged to ask any questions you may have and your LIPSG plastic surgeon will be happy to address your concerns.
Ready for Your Consultation?
The best way to find out if breast lift surgery is the right option to fulfill your needs is by scheduling a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons. A number of our doctors hold privileges at many major hospitals in the Long Island and Manhattan, New York area and can perform breast lift surgery at our accredited surgical facility or at an outpatient facility that is more convenient to your location.
We look forward to helping you renew and rejuvenate your breasts for a more youthful, sensual aesthetic!
Please contact our practice to schedule a consultation for breast lift (mastopexy) surgery.

Helping people. Saving gorillas.™
Beginning in 2000, The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International helped local communities establish community-based conservation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in a unique eco-region of some 26,000 square miles. A network of community-based nature reserves now links two national parks in the area to form a wildlife corridor that encompasses nearly the entire range of the endangered Grauer's gorilla (formerly known as the eastern lowland gorilla). This area is also home to many other rare, important species, such as forest elephant, okapi, and eastern chimpanzee, and has been identified as one of the most important forest blocks in the Congo Basin.
Due to years of political instability, agricultural expansion, mining, poor economic conditions and other factors, conservation in the area has become critical and the Fossey Fund has committed to helping provide long-term solutions. In collaboration with the reserves, the Fossey Fund now operates a program modeled after the Karisoke Research Center, to directly monitor and study Grauer's gorillas.
Based on traditional African land ownership and governance, local chiefs and villages create nature reserves that are managed and maintained by local communities. These community reserves work together through a federation called UGADEC (Union des Associations de Conservation des Gorilles pour le Développement Communautaire à l'Est de la République Démocratique du Congo). Their goal is to build community-managed reserves while at the same time developing their local economies in well-defined zones outside the reserves.
Unlike mountain gorillas, which have been studied in Rwanda at our Karisoke Research Center for more than four decades, little is known about Grauer's gorillas because there are few habituated groups that researchers can observe. Protection has been limited by civil unrest and other factors, and Grauer's gorillas are considered highly endangered. It is believed that their numbers have dropped significantly, although an accurate count has not been possible.
The Fossey Fund has been building a Grauer's Gorilla Research and Conservation Program in DRC that will allow us not only to assess the numbers and stability of the current population in the region, but also to study and protect them. This program operates mainly in UGADEC member territory and many of the trackers and team leaders we employ are drawn from the reserves.
The program operates a research base deep in the forest in Biruwe, in the Walikale area, staffed by Congolese trackers and team leaders and managed by the Fund. From the camp, the field staff patrols the surrounding forest, setting up temporary campsites in order to cover greater distances over several days. During 2012, they discovered nest sites, dung, and food remains indicating the presence of Grauer's gorillas. In fact, they believe they may have found a group of as many as 35 gorillas in one area. In 2013, the team continued their surveys, studying the gorillas' density, feeding ecology and ranging patterns, and the impact of mining activities, and identifying gorilla groups.
Community reserve landowners were closely involved and gave their commitment and support to these efforts. The program works in conjunction with the communities to encourage conservation and cooperation with law enforcement's anti-poaching activities.
Show your love by giving what your special person loves. Adopt a gorilla to save gorillas.
Enjoy a special Gorilla Trek with Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund staff and an exclusive Karisoke™ visit. A life-changing experience!

St. Louis, MO – A group requesting more oversight of the St. Louis police department is now calling for a tourism boycott of the city.
The Coalition Against Police Crimes and Repression held a rally and a march in downtown St. Louis Tuesday afternoon. They're protesting what they call a history of police brutality against minorities. John Chasnoff, with the Coalition, says a tourism boycott could shine more light on the issue.
The St. Louis Police Department had no comment on the Coalition's complaints. And the Convention and Visitor's Commission was unavailable to respond.

Wonderful website, great design and interesting content.
Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I will certainly return.
I believe that avoiding refined foods will be the first step to lose weight. They will often taste good, but processed foods contain very little vitamins and minerals, making you take in more simply to have enough energy to get through the day. If you're constantly having these foods, transferring to grain and other complex carbohydrates will assist you to have more electricity while consuming less. Great blog post.
I admit, I've not been on this blog in a lengthy time, even so it was joy to discover it once again. It truly is such an essential subject and ignored by a great number of, even pros! I thanx for helping to make people today much more conscious of those concerns. Just terrific stuff as per usual!

I think the survey was a very intellectual way to study students not just on the academics during school but their ability to complete tasks on their own time.
Apparently I would rather do things physically like standing in front of the class and making a skit rather then doing individual work. What I learned about myself and hopefully all the other children and adults learned by doing this essay is that there are multiple ways to get your education other than writing notes all day.

How Do I Become a Science Teacher?
The path to becoming a science teacher begins with a college education and student teaching experience before you can get a job at a middle school or high school. Learn more about the education, certification and licensing requirements below. Schools offering Teaching - Science degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Degree Programs for Science Teachers
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that, at the minimum, you'll need to get a bachelor's degree to be a science teacher at middle or secondary schools (www.bls.gov). Options include education degrees such as a Bachelor of Science in Science Education, Bachelor of Science in Middle Grades General Science or a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.) with majors in a secondary school science. These degree programs typically incorporate teacher education programs that satisfy certification requirements.
If you want to teach at a high school you could choose a bachelor's degree program in the branch of science you want to teach, such as biology or chemistry. This could be a good option because many schools prefer to hire teachers who have bachelor's degrees in their subject. If you choose this route you'll also have to complete an approved teacher education for program to qualify for your state teaching license.
The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) accredits schools of education and maintains a list of accredited institutions on its website (www.ncate.org). An approved teacher education program usually includes a student teaching internship. The BLS reports that some states require teachers to hold master's degrees so you might also want to consider enrolling in a graduate program.
Practice Teaching
You'll get hands-on teaching experience during your student teaching internship. You could be partnered with a science teacher in a middle or secondary school, learning what it's like to manage a classroom and honing your teaching skills. At first, you would be an observer, watching a teacher develop lesson plans, giving lectures and assessing individual student performance. When you're ready, you'll teach classes on your own.
Work Towards Certification
You should check your state's board of education to see what requirements you'll need to meet for certification as a licensed teacher. According to the BLS, all public school teachers in the U.S. need to be licensed. Private schools may hire a teacher who is not licensed, but will still generally require job candidates to have a bachelor's degree.
The path towards certification generally begins with completing an approved teacher education program and taking teacher assessment exams, which assess your teaching abilities. The Praxis II exam is often used to assess a secondary teacher's subject knowledge (www.ets.org). You'll also have to submit your college transcripts, pay certification fees and pass a criminal background check. Some states offer special programs for licensing teachers who haven't fulfilled the usual requirements, especially for hard-to-fill teaching positions.
To continue researching, browse degree options below for course curriculum, prerequisites and financial aid information. Or, learn more about the subject by reading the related articles below:

According to Murphy's Law, toast will always land butter side down. But if the toast is found butter side down on the windshield of someone else's SUV? Well, that's where actual law comes in.
Christopher Brannon, 34, of Union, S.C., is facing a charge of malicious damage to property for causing a whopping $1 worth of damage to his neighbor's SUV by allegedly smearing buttered toast on it.
The vehicle owner called police, and when they arrived, some crackerjack crime scene investigation turned up a piece of toast on the ground and a greasy film on the car's rear windshield.
Despite the heinous (and inexplicable) act of which he is accused, Brannon was released on his own recognaizance. It's unclear what prompted him to rub his breakfast on a woman's car, but we're sure the neighbors will be talking about it for months.

Help I have a cake to do next month and it calls for fondant. We don't care for the taste of fondant so I made up some MM fondant and it cracked while drying, and looked extremely dry. My problem there? I'm thinking not enough moisture and the thickness wasn't right. Then I made up the Rolled Buttercream Fondant and I can't seem to get it to work for me, loved the taste though. What is it supposed to look like-shiny or matt like? How thick is it supposed to be rolled? I've got to find a good one and work with it so I can do a good job. The cake is in the Wilton 2004 yearbook and is called Romantic Ripples on pg. 95. Any suggestions, tips, or recipes would be Enormously appreciated! Thank you in advance, and probably later also!

The following call in rli_init() [rli.c:89, rli.c:610] if (db_open(dbname, db_user, db_pwd, 1, &rlih, errbuf) != GLOBUS_RLS_SUCCESS) logit(LOG_WARNING, "rli_init(%s): %s", dbname, errbuf); results in queries to (nonexistent) rli tables in the lrc database.

I have a Orevox R58GS self-contained electronic siren 6-12 VDC (I'm reporting what the label says), I do find this siren still available (I didn't install it, was there when I bought the house). It has wires colored red (warble), white (negative) and yellow (steady). I was recently broken into, one of my neighbors was home but didn't hear the siren (although it works) but I live in an area of acreage homes and the siren is on the opposite end of the house where this neighbor is. The siren is outside on the roof. What I'd like to do is split the wire running into this siren and run a second siren over near the neighbor that didn't hear it. I know NOTHING about home security system wiring/etc. so I wanted to ask the experts here it it's doable. I had to call the alarm monitoring company out once for a 2-minute fix of a door sensor, they charged $150. I can't afford to call them out for this so need to figure out a way to DIY it. Thanks! |

Depends on what the alarm system you are connecting it to can support. To be sure you'd need to check the documentation on the alarm or look at the relay or transistor that is driving the siren to see if it can sink enough current for both units. Of course, the other issue is what you expect your neighbor to do when your siren is going off. Generally the noise makers are for the benefit of the criminal whose poking around. |
- Posted by wynswrld98 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 0:30
Thanks for responding. The alarm system was here when I bought the house and I have no documentation on it. When you say to look at the relay or transistor that is driving the siren I can see if there is a legend but if I find it what exactly am I looking for? What I'm wondering is the siren says 6-12VDC so does that mean it's capable of running at 6 or 12 VDC (or anywhere inbetween)? Is it conceivable the alarm panel is sending a 12VDC signal in which case if I split it I'll be sending 6VDC to each of my two sirens? I'm just totally guessing on all of this, when I read 6-12VDC on the siren it had my mind wandering and this is what I came up with. |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 10:01
I think that siren will take any voltage from 6-12. You are going to hook these up in parallel (i.e., the two wires from each siren to the same terminal on the alarm). That way they'll both see 12V (or whatever the alarm puts out). The issue is that the current the alarm will have to provide will be the sum of the two currents, and so you're needing to find if the addition of the second exceeds that. Do you have central monitoring? My favorite is to get a monitoring company that will also send text messages out to your (and perhaps your neighbors) phones. As I said, the noise makers are primarily to scare off the intruders. |
Your siren should have an amp rating of what it draws and your panel should have a maximum current for the alarm output. If an additional siren exceeds that limit, you can add another power supply with a relay to run the other siren. |
"If an additional siren exceeds that limit, you can add another power supply with a relay to run the other siren." as long as the relay coil does not overload the output and the output is designed to drive relays. Relays have a nasty habit of producing a voltage spike of the opposite polarity when switched off abruptly. |

It's been an interesting week in the world of football. The replacement referees made several catastrophic and game-altering calls, Roger Goodell found enough change in his couch to coax the real referees back to the NFL, and I was reminded that the Lingerie Football League was still a real thing.
I stand amidst this sea of change as the only constant left in your life. Well, that's probably not true. But no matter what happens in the NFL on any given week, you can be sure I'll be here writing vaguely funny captions about it.

DataDirect Networks (DDN) is preparing to ship a scalable pre-integrated datacentre appliance designed to speed deployment of Hadoop-based big data analytics for enterprise customers.
Set for general availability from 31 March, the hScaler appliance is claimed by DDN as the first platform for big data that enables enterprise customers to get up and running without the difficulty and steep learning curve typically associated with configuring and using Hadoop.
The hScaler appliance is built on top of DDN's SFA12K-40 converged storage array, which is capable of 40GB per second sustained block throughput, and also combines built-in compute capability.
This architecture eliminates bottlenecks for Hadoop compute nodes and reduces the amount of hardware, rack space and cooling required to implement infrastructure for big data applications, according to the firm.
The hScaler appliance ships with management tools including DDN's DirectMon suite to make it easier for IT staff to manage the infrastructure, plus built-in extract, transform, and load (ETL) tools to help data scientists get to grips with the analytics work.
Taken together, these will enable customers to shorten Hadoop deployments to hours rather than weeks or months, and cut the cost of implementing it, according to DDN.
"DDN's hScaler appliance represents the next step forward in the democratisation of Big Data," said Jean-Luc Chatelain, DDN's vice president of strategy and technology.
"It takes an advanced analytics solution that was economical for only the richest and most information-driven organisations in the world and puts it well within the grasp of enterprise CIOs."
The firm had not responded to a request for pricing from V3 at the time of publication.
Daniel Robinson is technology editor at V3, and has been working as a technology journalist for over two decades. Dan has served on a number of publications including PC Direct and enterprise news publication IT Week. Areas of coverage include desktops, laptops, smartphones, enterprise mobility, storage, networks, servers, microprocessors, virtualisation and cloud computing.

If you've dabbled even a little bit with security matters, you know that giving root rights or the root password to a common user is a bad idea. But what do you do if a user has a valid need to do something that absolutely requires root rights? The answer is simple: use sudo to grant the user the needed permissions without letting him have the root password, and limit access to a minimum.
With sudo (which stands for "superuser do"), you can delegate a limited set of administrative responsibilities to other users, who are strictly limited to the commands you allow them. sudo creates a thorough audit trail, so everything users do gets logged; if users somehow manage to do something they shouldn't have, you'll be able to detect it and apply the needed fixes. You can even configure sudo centrally, so its permissions apply to several hosts.
After you've installed and configured your host, users can use sudo aForbiddenCommand
to run something they previously couldn't run. sudo will ask for their password -- not the root one -- to provide a basic defense against passersby using a console that was left unattended. The users won't be able to do anything they want; they'll only be able to do whatever you allow them in the sudo configuration, which minimizes the risk to your system.
sudo sports a long history; its first version ran on BSD in around 1980, and since then, updates have come frequently. If it's not already on your system, you can generally install it from the repositories of your favorite distribution.
sudo is free software, available under an Internet Systems Consortium (ISC)-style license. Both a stable version (currently 1.6.9p12, released on January 20) and a development branch (at version 1.7b1) are available. Because sudo has to do with system security, I encourage you to use the former. If you want to install from source, you can find the source on the GratiSoft Web site. Installation is simple, along the lines of the classical configure, make, make install
. However, you might want to check some of the configuration options; for example, you can have sudo insult the user should he enter a wrong password!
Configure sudo by editing /etc/sudoers, which includes, as the name implies, which users can sudo at will. This file has "400" permissions, meaning that only root can read it and nobody can write it. To edit this file, you must use visudo, a program that takes care of the permissions, sets up some locks so two different users can't edit the file at the same time, and even checks to make sure you didn't make a mistake before saving it. visudo runs whichever editor you specify in the EDITOR environment variable -- usually vi.
The format of the sudoers file is simple: it starts with four optional sections, and it ends with the specific rights assignments. It can include empty lines, or comment lines that start with the #
sign. The optional sections are:
than a fully qualified absolute path such as /usr/sbin/apt-get.You don't need to use aliases, but they do make future editing easier. For example, if you have to assign donald_duck the same rights that mickey_mouse has, just add the former to the latter's group, and you won't have to spend lots of time duplicating lines everywhere. A special alias called ALL exists, and you can use it anywhere; it can mean ALL users, ALL hosts, and so on.
After these sections, you must have a section for specific rights, which looks like "who where = (whoelse) what," meaning who (a user, a group, or a user alias) on the host where can run a command what as a user whoelse. (If this is too cryptic, look at the following example.) You can also include several specific options, such as NOPASSWD to allow a user to sudo without entering his password; check the manual for the other options.
This sample doesn't show every configuration possible (for that, you should do man sudoers
), but here's what a sample file with some of these options might look like:
# # Sample /etc/sudoers file, with apologies to the Disney company! # # User aliases # The first line creates an alias for three specific users. # The second one includes everybody in the "ducks" user group, but excludes "donald" # The third one creates an alias for just one user; it can be useful in the future! # User_Alias NEPHEWS = huey, dewey, louie User_Alias ALL_DUCKS_BUT_DONALD = %ducks, !donald User_Alias MICKEY = mickey_mouse # Command aliases Cmnd_Alias HALT_OR_REBOOT = /sbin/halt Cmnd_Alias KILL = /usr/bin/killall Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /sbin/shutdown Cmnd_Alias SU = /bin/su # The rights: who gets to run what # A standard rule: root, and users in group "wheel", have full rights root ALL = (ALL) ALL %wheel ALL = (ALL) ALL # Suppose mickey is an sysadmin; let him run anything without a password MICKEY ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL # NEPHEWS can stop the box if they want NEPHEWS HALT_OR_REBOOT, SHUTDOWN
You can also add some extra configuration lines at the end of the configuration file. You can specify, for example:
When you quit the editor, visudo checks for errors and lets you know whether something is wrong; you can go back to editing or cancel all your changes. The third option, saving the file with an error, can make it impossible for anybody to use the sudo command until you fix the mistake, so that's not a good idea.
When allowing rights, be careful, or you might end up allowing more than you expected. Of course, if you allow a user to do su
, then he will get full root rights; did you really want that? This is rather obvious, but there are more subtle traps. For example, if a user is allowed to sudo less
, he could then use the !
command and start running any other command as root. (If you don't know about risks like this, read the Unix man pages that talk about it.) Just in case, before allowing access to a command, check online security sites such as the SANS Institute and search for exploits or vulnerabilities; better safe than sorry.
Another easy mistake is using relative paths for commands; a knowledgeable user could easily hack his way to full rights. Suppose you defined an alias FOO as equivalent to merely bin/foo; a user might be able to create a bin directory somewhere, copy any command he wishes to it (but, most importantly, naming it "foo"), and then run it as root and do anything he wants.
Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that a user won't ever be able to find a way to manage a privilege escalation and work as root, but there's no other easy viable way to allow someone to do something that requires higher levels of access.
While there are some possible risks (mostly having to do with carelessly given rights), using sudo provides you a way to allow specific users to go beyond their normal rights to do specific tasks.

Nov 9, 2013 11:08 PM by Associated Press
TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) - Wildlife biologists are conducting a DNA test to determine if a rare native fox has been spotted at Donner Lake near Truckee.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife officials say a fox was first reported to them on Oct. 31, and it has since been spotted several times on the lake's north shore as recently as Monday.
Wildlife biologist Ben Sacks of the University of California, Davis says a DNA test is needed to determine if it is a nonnative red fox from California's lowlands or a native Sierra Nevada red fox.
Fish and Wildlife spokesman David Wright says it would be exciting if the animal proved to be the latter because it would be the first confirmed one in the Lake Tahoe area.
He told Truckee's Sierra Sun (http://bit.ly/HGMpJA ) that there may be fewer than 50 of them in existence around Lassen National Park and Sonora Pass.
The first confirmed sighting of a Sierra Nevada red fox in the Sierra in two decades came in 2010 when a remote camera captured the image of one near Sonora Pass about 90 miles south of Reno, Nev.
The subspecies once was thought to be extinct.

The political science faculty may be few in number—currently six—but consider the compensating virtues. Immodest through it may be, here is a collective portrait.
Since it is the political science department we are talking about, you will naturally inquire whether we know anything about power. Let us count the ways. Among us you will find long serving Dean, a current Dean, a long serving member of the Tenure and Promotion Committee, and a former Assistant to the President. But this only demonstrates that an ideal of service is a part of the spirit of the department. We have anticipated President Obama's inaugural plea to make this the "age of responsibility."
Professor of Political Science
My interests focus upon the history of political philosophy with an emphasis upon the enlightenment philosophe and founding father of the social sciences, Baron Charles-Louis de Montesquieu and his many disciples and critics, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Edmund Burke, James Madison, G. W. F. Hegel, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Emile Durkheim

Okay so maybe the Alliance havn't *always* been the good guys. But don't use putting the orcs in internment camps as an example of them being "bad". The Alliance kept the orcs alive out of mercy, even though it was against their best interest. It hurt their economy and they knew this might hurt them later, but they wouldn't kill innocents who weren't fighting back. In fact, some people, I'm looking at Greymane here, wanted to kill them all and keep the money, but the Alliance as a whole showed the orcs mercy.

I was wondering if anyone here used Picasa for their pictures. I like the program, but if I want to add a picture to an email, or as I just tried, went to tiny pics to try to add a picture to a web site, I cannot get a picture out of picasa. If I was to send a picture in an email, I have to go into the Picasa program and send it from the email in Picasa. Is there any way to pull these pictures out another way.
Any help would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
When you attach a picture to an email/web site do you not go to the folder containing your pictures on your hard drive? |
yes, but Picasa will not come up for me. I wondered what I was doing wrong. |
If you want to attach a pic to an email you don't need to open Picasa. Just click "attach file" and you'll get a "choose file" box. Go to where you keep your pics..My Docs etc and choose. As I understand it Picasa just "monitors" your pic folders,it isn't a pic folder unto itself. So you can't do an attachment from it. I hope I understand your problem correctly. |
That explanation should be of help to you......also, if you want to embed or link a photo to a website, that can be done directly from picassa by copying and pasting the url address they supply on the right hand side of your album page. |
Terminology seems to be getting crossed up and causing room for confusion. For reference purposes there are two Picasas that can be in play. There is the picasa you have on your computer. As mooner noted you can just click on "e-mail" in there and send a pic by e-mail from there if you want. Also, Picasa will let you set up a web site account and upload pics from you computer to its web site in your Picasa program on your computer. Then, as referenced above, you can link to other places on the web from there. Lastly, if you want to store your pics somewhere on the web besides picasa's web site, you have to "export" the picture/file in the Picasa on your computer to another place on your computer, where you can then upload them to, say, Photobucket. At least that is the way I do it. |

John Grego, 09/2008
I visited the Western Boundary trail hoping to take a look at the damage from summer storms, said to be extensive. I also wanted to check on a couple familiar sites, and see whether it was practicable to reach the Western Boundary road from the Bannister Bridge lot without using the jeep roads on private property. It was relatively easy to travel along Cedar Creek to the point where a small slough enters the creek. An adjacent property owner has cleared land and appears to be planning to build a house. Skirting the edge of the property, you can follow the NPS boundary markers WSW to the park's gate on the Western Boundary Road. The woods here are quite open and would make a suitable trail, were the trail not so close to private property used for hunting. I detoured off the boundary road to visit the old shooting range. It's quite overgrown now and won't be recognizable in a few more years. Just past the range, a couple feral hogs (including a large boar) were enjoying a wallow, and ambled casually away when they saw me. Rejoining the trail, I checked to make sure John Cely's national champion overcup oak hadn't been hurt by the wind storms. My old reference point, a log broken into 4 evenly-sized sections, had long disappeared, so I guessed where to head off-trail. I followed the wrong heading off the road, and it took me awhile to find the tree, which seemed fine. Walking to Cook's Lake, there was much evidence of wind damage, though alot of it did seem to be dead limbs and old snags. Cook's Lake had apparently been plowed and planted with row crops this year during the drought. The lake is quite full now, and the crops were generally under water. There were several juvenile Little Blue Heron there, which usually aren't easy to find in the western part of the park. I headed back to the car encountering another feral hog, and some migrant thrush. Bird List

What can I say about the recently announced punishment bestowed upon Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling? I can only point to this blog post by former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabaar that was posted on TIME.com. In it, he writes:
Moral outrage is exhausting. And dangerous. The whole country has gotten a severe case of carpal tunnel syndrome from the newest popular sport of Extreme Finger Wagging. Not to mention the neck strain from Olympic tryouts for Morally Superior Head Shaking. All over the latest in a long line of rich white celebrities to come out of the racist closet. (Was it only a couple days ago that Cliven Bundy said blacks would be better off picking cotton as slaves? And only last June Paula Deen admitted using the "N" word?)
Yes, I'm angry, too, but not just about the sins of Donald Sterling. I've got a list. But let's start with Sterling. I used to work for him, back in 2000 when I coached for the Clippers for three months. He was congenial, even inviting me to his daughter's wedding. Nothing happened or was said to indicate he suffered from IPMS (Irritable Plantation Master Syndrome). Since then, a lot has been revealed about Sterling's business practices:
- 2006: U.S. Dept. of Justice sued Sterling for housing discrimination. Allegedly, he said, "Black tenants smell and attract vermin."
- 2009: He reportedly paid $2.73 million in a Justice Dept. suit alleging he discriminated against blacks, Hispanics, and families with children in his rentals. (He also had to pay an additional nearly $5 million in attorneys fees and costs due to his counsel's "sometimes outrageous conduct.")
- 2009: Clippers executive (and one of the greatest NBA players in history) sued for employment discrimination based on age and race.
His post continues and makes the excellent point that we should "be outraged that we weren't more outraged when his racism was first evident." Why did it take a leak to Deadspin and a shark-infested media frenzy to do something? Why didn't anyone with some authority (hello, David Stern?) in the NBA care about the discrimination, racism and hate 'allegedly' expressed years ago?
Kareem's post ends with: "Let's use this tawdry incident to remind ourselves of the old saying: 'Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.' Instead of being content to punish Sterling and go back to sleep, we need to be inspired to vigilantly seek out, expose, and eliminate racism at its first signs." I couldn't agree more.
But former NBA Commissioner David Stern sat on the sidelines and spent years listening to Donald Sterling's racist commentary, which was even documented (see Kareem's list above). And when you think about it…would Commissioner Adam Silver have done the same if this recording had not 'leaked?' If others made complaints or sued Donald Sterling because of 'alleged' comments and actions, what then? Would he have paid his attorney fees and continued collecting millions thanks to the very people he discriminated against in general conversation (and possibly everyday life)?
It's appalling to me that Mr. Sterling's actions were swept under the rug for as long as they had been, but I can appreciate the repercussions he has to deal with now. I only hope something like this doesn't happen again, but I can't say that it won't. For now, we'll carry on…
Update: After discussing the 'punishment' with fellow TCW blogger Kali Raoul, I took a deeper look at the scope of the repercussions. And they're bullsh**t. He's been fined 0.13 percent of his net worth, he's banned for life (dude's 80 years old) and he stands to make money from the sale of the team (unless there's some contingency that he has to donate the money to charity). In the end, it's not about the punishment for his statements. To me, again, it's a shame he wasn't 'punished' when his actions (which were brought to light in legal matters) were just swept under the rug.

Austin Aztex Press Release - www.austinaztex.com
Thursday, July 24, 2008
AUSTIN, TX – Phil Rawlins, President of the Austin Aztex, announced Tuesday, that Stoke City FC, its affiliated club in the English Premier League, is sending its top U18 Academy team to Austin in August for eight days of training and playing exhibition games.
The team is scheduled to arrive in Austin on August 12 and will spend eight days in the city. At this time, the team is planning to play "friendlies" against Rayados of Monterrey, Mexico; a team from the Lonestars Soccer Club; and, the men's soccer team from St. Edward's University. The game specifics have not been finalized and will be released soon.
"This is the kind of youth team trip that we envisioned when we put together our affiliation with Stoke City," Mr. Rawlins said. "I hope that next year we can send a representative youth team from Austin over to Stoke, so kids from here can experience the professional soccer environment in England. We are also looking forward to hosting Stoke's first team players and staff in May of next year."
In addition to presiding over the Aztex, Mr. Rawlins sits on the Stoke City FC Board and is part of the team's ownership group. Stoke City will open its season in the EPL with an away contest against Bolton on August 16.
The trip was planned in conjunction with Austin's Lonestar Soccer Club, the preeminent youth development program here and one of roughly 40 clubs in the US to be designated as a Nike Premier Club. It is anticipated that the Stoke City U18's will be training at the Lonestar's primary training facility, Town and Country Sports Complex, in northwest Austin.

I have had a lot of cases where I received the assignment of Judgment then came to find out the Judgment Debtor had died. So what do I do when the Judgment Debtor dies? Can I still collect the outstanding judgment and interest which has accumulated?
Unfortunately when I come to find out a judgment debtor has died. The estate usually has already been settled. But always dig and look deep to find those little things which can pay off. My slogan is to "never, ever, give up on a case."
Here is a true war story for you on this very topic. I had an assignment from a Judgment Creditor that had not gotten a dime from the Judgment Debtor. The Judgment debtor had his own business. A "Doing Business As" business which was a sole proprietorship. Once I had the assignment from the judgment creditor and had it filed in the Circuit Court in Illinois. I came to find out within the very first hour of doing my profile of the judgment debtor that he had passed away about 18 months earlier.
Well that was strike one for the case going south. The next strike came with checking on the business. I called the number and it had a answer machine so I left a message to give me a call back because I had some questions about there service. About 3 days later I got a phone call from a woman saying the business was no longer operating since the owner had passed away.
Well Strike two towards the case heading south. But I started to ask a few questions to the woman I was speaking to. It happened to be the widow of the Judgment Debtor who owned the business. I had asked her a few more questions about the business and if she was involved in the business at all. She explained to me that she had a few of the workers that would do some "Hand Selected Jobs" that would come along from phone calls and the website which was still active. She also told me that she was in the process of selling the client list and the business as a whole to someone that might be interested in buying it.
It is amazing what information starts to come out when you just let people talk. So I thanked her for the information and hung up from the conversation. I had some work to do checking out a few facts.
First. I wanted to find out when the Judgment debtor was married. Second, I wanted to do some more checking into property with the business name and the judgment debtors name. So off to the courthouse I go!
My first stop was the county recorders office. I found out the Judgment Debtor has a property still in his name. In fact it is the very house the widow of the Judgment debtor lives in. Next I found to property also in the name of the business the Judgment debtor had. Things where turning around.
Next, I wanted to check on a thought about the properties being up for sale. So I drove by both properties and sure enough "For Sale" signs up at both property locations. So back to the courthouse I went with a Memorandum of Judgment for the Judge to sign. With the signed Memorandum of Judgment in hand I went right to the County Recorders office and filed the Memorandum of Judgment to get a lien on both properties.
Next, I called the realtor who had both properties to inquire if any offers where currently on the two properties. I was told that both properties had offers pending but not yet accepted. My day was getting sunny by the minute.
About a six weeks pasted when I had a call from the title company on the house the judgment debtor had. The title company was getting ready to settle the closing and needed to clear the title of the lien. They needed to total amount so a check could be written and sent to me after closing the property.
I added up the judgment, costs and interest to the date of the closing and told the title company to make the check out for $13,515.76 and I would mail the Satisfaction of Judgment to dismiss the judgment to them for closing. Done deal!
The thing to always remember is we never give up on a case. Yes, it is hard and imposable to collect from a judgment debtor who has died but in this case the judgment debtor still had assets that where still in the process of being liquidated. The house and property sat on the market for almost two years but for me it was perfect timing.
