BUNKERVILLE, Nev. — American flags flap in the wind on the two-lane state highway to Cliven Bundy's ranch. Along the roadside, self-described militia members in camouflage who came to defend him from the federal government lounge and smoke, loaded pistols on their hips.
Ten miles from these desert encampments, the telephone is ringing more than usual at the police department in Mesquite, 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
Travelers from around the country are calling, wondering if it's safe to pass on Interstate 15, where Bundy and his supporters, some armed with military-style weapons, faced down federal officials in an April 12 standoff over his cattle grazing on federal land.
Police Chief Troy Tanner tells callers it's safe. But local authorities and Bundy's neighbors are growing weary of the attention and the unresolved dispute. Since the standoff, Bundy went from being proclaimed a patriot by some for his resistance to a racist for comments he made about blacks being better off under slavery.
"Most of our neighbors have about the same opinions we have. They don't like it," said John Booth, a resident of nearby Bunkerville who drove this week with his wife, Peggie, past the State Route 170 encampments. "But they're not really going to say anything about it."
As triple-digit temperatures of a Mojave Desert summer approach, militia members vow to stay and protect Bundy and his family from government police, though it's unclear what the immediate threat is.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has halted plans — at least for now — to round up Bundy's cattle under a court order to remove them from public land and habitat of the desert tortoise. The BLM says Bundy owes $1.1 million in unpaid grazing fees and penalties.
"We haven't been told by the Bundys that they're ready for us to go," said Jerry DeLemus, a former U.S. Marine from New Hampshire.
DeLemus heads a self-styled militia protection force of perhaps 30 people who sleep in tents, clean their military-style AR-15 and AK-47 weapons, and form work crews to help build watering bins for cattle on and around the Bundy ranch.
Bundy, who turned 68 on Tuesday, rode his call for a "range war" to conservative media stardom. He's been portrayed as a states' rights advocate battling an overreaching government, and a white-hat, last-of-the-cowboys figure.
Just as quickly, he lost many Republican defenders when he made the comments about blacks last week. Democrats labeled Bundy a racist.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Steven Horsford, who lives in Las Vegas and represents a vast area including Bunkerville and Mesquite, met with residents last week and called Monday for federal authorities and the local sheriff to investigate the gun-toting force.
Openly carrying a pistol or rifle is legal in Nevada. Permit holders can carry concealed weapons.
Horsford, however, cited concerns about "an armed presence in or around community areas including local churches, school, and other community locations."
Bunkerville, with about 1,200 residents, has a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple, a Catholic church, a community center, an elementary school, a park and a firehouse on the banks of the Virgin River. There's no general store or restaurant.
Bundy acknowledged creating a stir when he and his family showed up at the Mormon church with armed bodyguards for Easter Sunday services.
"The militia have been going with me everywhere," Bundy said Tuesday. "When I got to church, I said, 'Leave your weapons in the car.' They did. I guess there could have been weapons in the parking lot, but there were no weapons in the church house."
Bundy denies that militia members set up checkpoints on public property. He said armed guards do stop and screen visitors at the gate to his ranch.

The BEST stuff ever for dry damaged hair. I bleach my hair and it is SO damaged. I only wash my hair a few times a week so whenever I am going to wash it the next day I put this on my dry hair before bed and then when I wake up shampoo and condition. My hair feels soo soft and actually holds a style. I can't believe I didn't know about this before. It's made such a difference in the texture of my hair. I also use this to remove my waterproof makeup and it works amazing for that as well. I will never be without this again!

So I've been off-again, on-again with EVCO. I like the moisturizing properties, I like the all-natural, totally-good for you simplicity of the product....but I don't like heavy oils on my skin. My skin isn't extremely dry, so oils usually don't absorb on me very quickly, leaving me (and everything I come in contact with) very greasy, even when I use sparingly. So, first I tried making mini EVCO "bars". I poured melted CO into muffin tins, then put them in the fridge. After my shower, I would rub a bar on my skin. This made it a little more convenient than getting oil everywhere, but the bar would still collapse to a melted mess in my fingers and I wasn't too thrilled about storing a half-melted mess like that in the fridge.
Enter Google searches! I learned that CO can be "whipped", to a texture like body butter. I didn't have a nice, fancy Kitchen Aid mixer, I decided to use some "elbow grease" and whip it by hand with a whisk. Yes, ladies, it can be done. And it wasn't hours of grueling labor, for me it was minutes. I had a nice, fluffy, white batch of EVCO "butter" that I poured into empty containers and cooled in the fridge. After a few minutes, I took it out and it looked and felt exactly like a body butter! Now I can dip a finger in and apply a small amount without becoming a greaseball! So psyched. My next quest will be making this with 92 degree CO. Maybe the melting won't be such a problem with that. But either way, whipped CO is the only way to go for me!

This is a HG product for me! I have thick, curly hair thats fine, but I have a lot of it. My hair gets greasy and overloaded with product very easily. I've tried olive oil in the past, but that left my hair greasy, was impossible to wash out and did not make that much of a difference. I later went on tot ry coconut oil. I was having the same problems the first few times I tried to use it as a treatment, the same issues I had with olive oil but not as severe. Eventually I got the hang of it. I blow-dry and straighten my hair 3 times a week and very other day I wash it and blow dry again. What I do now is, the night before a wash and blow-dry I put a bit of coconut oil on my fingertips, about a dime-sized amount. I flip my head over and distribute the coconut oil through the length of my hair, focusing on my ends. I then put a small amount of coconut oil on my fingertips and I massage it onto my scalp. I then comb it all through with a wide-tooth comb and I put my hair in a bun for the night. I wake up, shampoo my hair twice very throughly, condition it, get out of the shower, blow dry, and VOILA! My hair looks amazing! At the high end salon that I go to, I usually get a deep conditioning treatment that costs about $20 to get it done. The coconut oil does just what the deep conditioning treatment does! Once my hair is blow-dried, it looks like it does in the salon, so silky and soft! Its a HG product for my frizzy, thick curly hair! I also massage a teeny-tiny bit of coconut oil into my ends every night before I go to bed in order to keep them moisturized and healthy!
I also use this as a makeup remover and when my skin gets very dry and/or chapped! I love it! This is an amazing product and all natural! I would recommend this to anyone!

I agree with the other reviewers that coconut oil works great as an eye makeup remover. It seems to be great for conditioning the lashes as well. That's basically what I use it for. I transfer a small amount out of the large jar into a smaller container for use. I scoop a little bit out, let it melt in the palm of my hand, then pick it up with a cotton ball and wipe my eyelids to remove my eye makeup. One thing to watch out for, after time had passed, my smaller container was moldy! I didn't know coconut oil could get moldy! Other than that, it's great!

Basically, ditto what the person below me said, with a few additions:
> I love it as an eye makeup remover, hated it full face (yes, it's highly comedogenic) and in my hair (felt dirty after double lathering?).
> May be my imagination, but I swear my eyelashes have gotten longer since I started using it. Maybe less breakage due to drying mascara?
> I can't smell it, but my boyfriend swears he can.
One thing I don't like/wasn't expecting: When I bought it, it was basically a liquid with some solids in it. When I brought it home it is completely solid now, I mean not even a cream, but really solid. Kind of a pain in the butt sticking my hands in the tub and digging it out. I know I could microwave it for a minute, but it seems like a hassle. Wish there was a way to keep it liquid.
Really can't beat the price. Lasts FOREVER.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Brunette Eyes: Brown
Things I use coconut oil for: EYE makeup remover, deep conditioning hair treatment.
I am reading horror stories on here about people using it as a full facial cleanser and makeup remover thinking, "well, yeah...it can clog pores." To be more clear, it is a highly comedogenic oil and thus, is not suitable for acne prone skin. So, if you know your face, you may know if this is right for you.
However, as a an eye makeup remover, it works great! You can really go to town rubbing mascara off with your fingers and swiping it all off with a tissue. No eye irritation because it's so gentle.
I've only used it on my hair a few times, but it works pretty well! I just slather some on my dry ends and shampoo it out. Can't say it's life changing, but does feel like a standard heavy conditioner.

Im in love with coconut oil. Its my go to for everything from hair to body its perfect.
What I use it for:
- Makeup remover, I find it fascinating how it gradually builds up all the makeup and makes it easier to wipe off.
- Facial scrum, easy DIY just melt it in the microwave until theres no more chunks and just add brown sugar.
- Body lotion, CAUTION when using it i prefer to use it at night that way it will soak in as I sleep without leaving oil residue anywhere.
- Hair treatment, I put it on at night, wash it out in the morning (shampooing twice just to make sure theres no leftover oil that will make my hair look greasy) and leaves my hair frizz free, super shiny and soft.

It does an ok job, not amazing. I live at the beach, so I would take some with me to put in my hair after the ocean to try to keep it soft, and it did a great job with that. My hair dried looking soft and not too greasy for the beach. however, as a treatment, i don't think it did much at all. when I would put it in my hair and leave it in for a couple hours before i showered, my hair did not feel softer the next day
i think it doesn't really penetrate the hair shaft and only helps while it's IN your hair. also it's annoying that it doesn't stay good long enough to use the whole jar. my started going rancid before i had even used half.

Can we talk about oil?
Let's talk about oil. Specifically, let's talk about extra virgin coconut oil which - in the true sense - does not actually exist. There. I said it. Commence the rock-throwing.
What on earth do you MEAN, there's no such thing?!
Well, when we're discussing oils "extra virgin" sounds like the bees knees and you absolutely must buy it because otherwise your head is going to fall off or something.
The problem is that the term "extra virgin" pertains to olive oil and there is indeed a difference between virgin and extra virgin (if you're curious, "virgin" comes from riper olives than "extra virgin"). Olive oil is graded and must actually meet several criteria before it can be labeled "virgin" and "extra virgin". In other words, it's quite well controlled**
Coconut oil on the other hand? There are no guidelines, no rules to follow, no industry-wide definition. Calling it "extra virgin" is nothing but a marketing ploy. A marketing ploy so pervasive that people will actually turn up their nose at you if you aren't forking out the money for Robert's Executive Posh Brand Super Awesome Double Extra Extra Triple Virgin Coconut Oil as opposed to just picking up a jar of Bob's Coconut Oil.
Now in all fairness the industry itself has come to something of a meeting of minds when it comes to using "Virgin" as a label, and this is an overly simplified definition:
Virgin coconut oil : your oil starts out as fresh coconut "meat" and needs no further refining before it reaches your table.
Other: your oil actually starts out as copra, the older dried coconut meat, and this needs further refining before it becomes edible.
But refining is BAD! It's bad! Well, no. It is true that chemically refined products can end up about as natural and wholesome as Bruce Jenner's face. But that's not the whole story. There's more than one way to work that coconut! Refining does not have to involve chemicals and even the bleaching is nothing more than a method of filtering which, again, involves no added nasties.
Ultimately, there are some excellent quality refined coconut oils which are chemical-free and, given that they're still oodles cheaper, there's really no reason why you should eschew them in favor of their costlier friends unless you're looking for flavor.
Virgin: will smell and taste like coconut. Nom nom nom!
Regular stuff: no smell, no flavor. Boo! (but that's actually okay if you want the benefits but not the flavor)
So be curious. Do your research. Ignore bandwagons. Stay away from partially hydrogenated oil and rest peacefully knowing that those same essential fatty acids in that uber expensive brand are still present in your refined oil. And remember that any time you see "extra virgin" coconut oil, it means absolutely nothing at all except a price hike.
** - Yeah, about that.... if you're wanting some EEVO , you best triple check that your oil actually measures up. One or two reputable sources have "named and shamed" some very common brands for failing... Bertolli, I'm talking to you...

I did not expect the tears. I was standing in the parking lot at the Car Repair Company in Scottsdale on Friday morning to watch the Dobson Ranch Kiwanis Club hand over the keys to a van to the Arizona chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
This figured to be an upbeat affair. At least it started out that way.
The van's owner, Leo Lesparance, donated the van to the Dobson Ranch Kiwanis Club. The Car Repair Company serviced the van and made some minor repairs. Adam Gruender, owner of a Big O Tires store in Scottsdale, donated a new set of tires. They were all there Friday, along with Ben Garcia of the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
So, no, I didn't expect the tears. And I certainly didn't expect them from Kerry Larsen.
Larsen, 59, is a mechanic at the Car Repair Company, and the man who set in motion the events that would lead to Friday's ceremony. I wouldn't say he presents a menacing appearance. But he is stocky and his greased-stained hands are hard and calloused. He didn't seem to be the sentimental type at all.
Larsen was telling me the story. One morning, Lesparance dropped in to have the van serviced. As Larsen put together a list of things needing repair, Lesparance wondered aloud if it was worth the trouble. Lesperance, who is disabled, had a newer van. This one had been sitting idle for months.
"He said, 'What do you think I should do with the van?'" Larsen said. "And I said, "I've got the perfect deal for you."
As he was telling the story, I was looking down at my note pad. Larsen had quit talking. I looked up and was surprised to see tears in Larsen's eyes. It took him a couple of minutes to regain his composure and continue the story.
Larsen and his wife, June, helped start the Dobson Ranch Kiwanis Club three years ago. So he suggested Lesparance donate the van to the Kiwanis. Lesparance agreed and Larsen asked the shop owner, Jim Atkinson, if he would allow him to make the repairs for free. Gruender donated the tires.
When George Meegan, the president of the Kiwanis Club, found out that the van was handicap-equipped, he knew what to do. A former Marine, Meegan contacted the Paralyzed Veterans of America, which was thrilled with the donation.
So it was a nice, feel-good story. And I wondered what could have prompted Larsen's tears.
Near the end of the ceremony, I asked Larsen if his wife was among the handful of people who had gathered for the ceremony.
"She died Christmas Day," he said.
And then I understood.
June Larsen had been the driving force behind starting the Dobson Ranch Kiwanis Club. So for Larsen, the work he did on the van went beyond the typical service project. It was a tribute to his wife, who died of cancer at age 58.
"Yeah," Larson said. "This is special to me."

Well, Don, I guess thank you? hehehehe Like olives, I had to acquire a taste for serpents. Or snakes. I mean, they were everywhere down in Louisiana AND south Texas where I worked. We had to watch out everywhere we tied up the boat, especially if under trees overhanging the bayou banks. I'll never forget the day I observed a tug boat crew with 4x4 long timbers stepping lively and beating the dickens out of something I could not see. It turned out to be a big rattler that was trying to go down an air vent into a compartment below. Cottonmouth moccasins open up and reveal how they got their name....totally white like a boll of cotton.....and the moccasin just as soon chase you as leave you alone. Not a peaceable critter at all. Do you remember the movie/book by Larry McMurtry LONESOME DOVE? The young cowboy falls off his horse in the stream, and by the time they get him out of the water he is already past saving? Yep, moccasins. Even the baby ones have enough venom to kill a man....or so I was told. And years ago, a young man (I knew his family) was water skiing on the river in springtime. He fell off and the same sort of thing happened to him as in McMurtry's book. But in naming my home MoccasinLanding, it was more the fear factor I called into play. There is a certain uneasy feeling comes upon one who anticipates encountering such an aggressive critter. And that kept people away from my uninhabited home for almost 20 years. That and the 6 foot long flattened snake I mounted on a board and hung from a tree by my dock. hehehehe. It was Louisiana roadkill flattened by an 18 wheeler. I made no claim that the snake was from MY yard! I live peaceably with snakes here, they are part of the ecosystem. At our river property, I see them regularly, not sure they are venomous or not. Not a problem, I simply watch where I step and make some noise and stay out of the muck. They like fish and frogs for dinner. |

Saturday, October 01
Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium
Attendance: 49,399
Manhattan, KS (Sports Network) - Robert Griffin III's first interception of the season proved costly.
Griffin threw five touchdown passes, but committed a crucial turnover in the waning minutes of the 15th-ranked Baylor Bears' 36-35 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats.
Trailing 35-33, Arthur Brown intercepted a Griffin pass to give the Wildcats (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) the ball deep in Baylor territory. Four plays later, Anthony Cantele kicked a 31-yard, game-winning field goal.
"I am not going to point the finger at anyone else," said Griffin. "I am the one in Heisman race and I am the one with the ball in my hands. They picked it off, so do not go look at the film and point fingers, because it is my fault."
Griffin threw for 346 yards on 23-of-31 passing for the Bears (3-1, 0-1), while Kendall Wright had nine catches for 201 yards and three touchdowns.
For Kansas State, Collin Klein completed 13-of-28 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns against an interception. He carried the ball 25 times for 113 yards and a score.
Griffin, who entered Saturday leading the FBS in both quarterback rating (236.2) and completion percentage (85.4), was given a chance for redemption, as Baylor received the ball with 3:10 left following Cantele's go-ahead field goal.
The drive was short-lived, however, as Griffin's pass on 4th-and-2 was knocked down at the line of scrimmage, sealing Kansas State's dramatic victory.
The late gaffes belied Griffin's earlier precision. Klein opened the third quarter with a 63-yard run and two plays later Angelo Pease's 12-yard touchdown scamper put the Wildcats on top 26-21, but Griffin heaved a 34-yard touchdown pass to Wright on the Bears' ensuing possession. He then put Baylor on top, 35-26, with a 35-yard scoring strike to Kendall on 4th-and-5.
The aforementioned touchdown exemplified athleticism on both ends. Griffin, for his part, unleashed a high-arching spiral as the pocket collapsed, and Wright made a diving, over-the-shoulder catch in the back of the end zone to complete the play.
Early in the fourth quarter, Aaron Jones failed to add to the Baylor lead, as his 47-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right.
The Wildcats responded with a 13-play, 70-yard drive, which was capped by Klein's one-yard touchdown plunge, to make it a 35-33 contest with 5:43 remaining.
The game-changing turnover came two plays into the Bears' next drive. Griffin was hit as he threw and Brown stepped in front of the errant pass. Griffin hadn't thrown an interception in his previous 163 pass attempts.
"That was a big stand for our defense, a great opportunity against a great team and really just a chance to identify who we are as a defense," said Brown. "My energy from that last play came from me seeing enjoyment from my team."
He began the game with a five-yard touchdown pass to Jerod Monk on the Bears' first drive, but Klein responded with a 15-yard scoring strike to John Hubert.
Cantele booted field goals of 28 and 37 yards to give the Wildcats a 13-7 lead after one quarter.
Griffin and Wright connected for a 43-yard touchdown early in the second quarter and the Bears took a 21-13 lead on Tevin Reese's 42-yard touchdown catch.
Klein responded with a 24-yard touchdown strike to Chris Harper in the waning moments of the second quarter. A failed two-point conversion attempt made it 21-19 at the half.

5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
I have to admit, my favorite beach wedding was more Coors and Clambake than Kennedy Classic. The fashions ranged widely: shorts and baseball caps, sundresses and straw hats, not a tie in sight. Almost everyone was in bare feet, having kicked their shoes or sandals off at the edge of the sand. As the vows were exchanged, we could feel the sand beneath our toes, the sun and warm wind against our cheeks. We were glad for the chance to stand there, comfortable and cool, in nature, free of the dreaded cummerbund.
Let's face it, outfitting the groom is not a difficult task any way you slice it, and a seaside wedding just makes it even easier. As you're deciding on the attire for the wedding, one thing to keep in mind is inherent informality of any event taking place at the beach; this doesn't mean that you can't look nice. There are few more elegant looks than the blue blazer and khakis. But it may be a good idea to leave the tuxes at home. Black penguin suits really aren't all that beachy.
Location, Location, Location. When deciding on the groom's attire for a beach wedding, the precise location of the wedding is a real consideration. Will you be actually on the beach or near a beach? If you'll be indoors in a beach town, your attire could run from the blazer to the tux. Take your cue from the bride. What is her ideal vision of the wedding party? If sand and salt spray aren't really in the picture, more formal attire won't be out of place.
If you're outside, but not right on the beach, the blue blazer option stands out. If you choose trousers in a color ranging from cream to shale, a crisp white shirt, and an understated tie, the look will be timeless, elegant and not too formal.
A variation of this look is ideal if you decide to conduct the ceremony right on the beach. Feel free to eschew the ties and unbutton the top button of your shirts. You might also choose to shed the jackets. At his resort wedding on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Cindy Crawford's groom, Randy Gerber, first planned to wear a khaki linen suit, switched to an Armani suit, and changed his mind at the last minute. He ended up wearing comfortable navy blue trousers and a white linen shirt. Comfortable, casual and classic.
Take The Picture. Project yourself forty years into the future. You and your wife are poring over your wedding photos from long ago. You still look elegant all these years later. The reason? You chose a look, simple and subtle, that stood the test of time. Here are a few looks that we're quite sure will hold up:
Look around you. Look at nature's hues and choose outfit colors to complement the beach setting. The look will be timeless.

by John Zokovitch, PCUSA's Communication's Director
The following speech was given at an anti-death penalty rally in Tallahassee, FL co-sponsored by Pax Christi Florida on October 24.
Hi, I'm Johnny Zokovitch, and I bring you greetings and solidarity from the home office of Pax Christi USA, the national Catholic peace movement, in Washington, D.C. I'm a Floridian myself and I'm really happy to be here with you today.
There is a story from my tradition, one which probably many of you are familiar with. It is from the gospel of John and it is often referred to as the one place in the Bible where Jesus gives a definitive teaching on the death penalty. It's the story of a woman who is caught in adultery, a capital offense of the time. The men in the story, "the good religious people of the time," question Jesus as to what should be done with this "criminal," citing death by stoning as the legal punishment required.

Question | Discussion | References | CME Credit Case 5: Discordant CD4 Cell Count and Viral Load Responses to Antiretroviral TherapyYou answered:
This answer is incorrect. Although the patient has not had a good immunologic response, her CD4 cell counts are significantly higher than they were before she started antiretroviral therapy. Maintaining long-term virologic control provides clinical benefit in this setting, independent of the CD4 cell count response. [Back to Case 5 Question | Go to Correct Answer] |

Re:I reload 9mm (15 comments)
Nope, not much more than with jacketed. I'm not sure where the myth of "don't shoot lead in Glocks" started, but it's very persistent. With any reloading (or shooting), it's obviously important to make sure fouling doesn't reach dangerous levels. But in the average IDPA match I shoot about 125-150 rounds with no noticeable leading. The barrel gets a bit dirty from the lube on the lead bullets, but I run a Boresnake through it at the end of the match as it's like new again.
Nearly all my recipes are for Missouri Lead Bullets, only loads I shoot jacketed are full power
I reload 9mm (15 comments)
I use Missouri Bullet Company's 9mm/125gr Smallball in my Glock 19 with a charge of 4.2gr Alliant Bullseye powder. Works really well for me with minimal leading.
Shooting jacketed would bring the prices up some, but lead bullets work well enough for me and the load should just meet IDPA power factor requirements (Though I haven't chronographed it).
Cost per 1000 rounds
Primers $30
Powder $10-ish (7000gr per lb, so I get ~1500 rounds per bottle)
Brass - Free range pickups
Bullets $60
Total $100 / 1000 and a Saturday spent by the reloading bench.
$100 / 1000 = $0.10 / round = $5 / 50.
Any questions, let me know. I'm not an expert by any means, but I can maybe save you a little bit of time

But if revolvers aren't your thing, you might want to look at a Government sized 1911 in 9mm. It's a heavier gun so less recoil, longer slide with a 5" barrel, the best trigger of any pistol, external safeties. To me that sounds very much like what you're looking for.
In the end of course it may come down to what you want to get, not what fulfills certain requirements. Glocks are fine guns that go bang every time. The wife owns a Taurus revolver, and I wouldn't mind getting one. But I wouldn't get a Taurus semi-auto, there are better ones out there for not much more money. Of the choices you've listed, I'd get the Glock 17L. 17L rather than 34 simply because the 17 is an extremely popular gun and you shouldn't have any problem finding parts for it.

As far as your choices:
I don't think you'll see much benefit in reality from the slightly longer barrel, my Glock 19 has a 4" barrel and still shoots far better than I do... I'm just thinking that if you want a target gun, I tend to think there are better choices than Glock.

Came in this morning and went ahead with regular duties. Nothing spectacular going on so I went into the bosses office to talk about some reports I'll be developing in the near future. Our full time sysadmin comes in and tells us we have a problem. Two drives failed on the production database server, 3 minutes apart, on separate buses. One on the data partition, one on the system partition. The HP management tools never picked up on it, and in fact still report that everything is just peachy.
We go back to the server room to swap drives out when we hear an odd noise, look back and another drive has failed on the application development test server.
Full time position with focus on VB.Net, ASP.Net, SQL Server.
Totally unofficial salary range estimate:
Mid thirties to low forties.
This is a good opportunity for someone fresh out of school to get some experience and learn a lot quickly. The ideal candidate would have some experience with ASP.Net, SQL Server, and some form of reporting tool (Crystal et al).
Excellent benefits, training, and all that good stuff.
Know anyone? Email the address in my profile for more info.

Planning to buy a new desktop at work, with multiple Visual Studios and long running SQL queries, my current machine is slowing down quite a bit. I was hoping the Quad Core CPUs would be a bit cheaper, but $1200 for a QX6700 is a bit steep.
Here's what I'm looking at atm:
HP xw4400 Workstation Microsoft® Windows®
Genuine Windows® XP Professional SP2
HP xw4400 Localization kit
Intel® Core(TM) 2 Duo E6700 2.67 GHz, 4 MB, 1066 MHz FSB

HP 4GB (4x1GB) DDR2-667 ECC RAM
HP 160GB SATA 3Gb/s NCQ 7200 1st HDD
HP 16X DVD+/-RW DL LightScribe 1st Drive
HP 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive
+ A second hard drive. HP is way overpriced on those though.
Yes, I created an account. Same name as here, no linky, because I can't visit it from work.
Strike one. Not starting off well here. Not being able to use the site from work means reading it only at night. Odds of that happening on a regular basis are fairly slim.
But I created an account, at least to reserve the name, and I'll give it a shot. I'm not planning to move over and quit Slashdot, because well, I read Slashdot anyway.
For all our complaints, Slashdot's suckage is a topic of conversation. It's like talking about the weather, "Hey look, Wednesdays update broke the server again". There are a lot of garbage articles, poor editorials, and trolling, but there are still enough tech discussions with knowledgeable posters to keep my interest. People also pull articles from the front page and bring them into the journal for discussion.
I think this external input is important to sustaining a community.
The Slashdot journal system has served not just as a blog, but as an extension of other Slashdot articles. It's the private discussion after the town hall meeting is over. But if the discussion instead comes largely from random external sources like news sites or aggregators, I very strongly doubt they will gather much interest. I don't want to visit 20 different sites to read whatever you're posting about. Again, the whole at-work thing.
I know my life isn't interesting enough to warrant daily updates, and while some you live a life of minute-to-minute non-stop never ending action, I think the same holds true for many in the circle. An update every few weeks or months is good enough.
Strike two, Slashdot provides a place where I can read tech news, articles, and reviews, and keep up with the lives of friends. Multiply is one more site to keep up with.
The basic problem is that if there isn't a critical mass of readers on Slashdot, posting here is just me talking to myself.
Strike three, if posting on Slashdot is pointless, and using Multiply at work isn't an option, this means that I and I'm sure some more with me, will pretty much go quiet except for the occasional "Hey look at what my kids did last week" posts.
I'm not posting this because I want people to beg me to come over. Nor do I have the delusion that my situation would change the direction the circle is going. This is just a heads-up not to expect to hear much from me anymore if indeed Multiply becomes the new home.
I think the end result of Multiply will, ironically enough, be a divide in the circle that will lead to atrophy.
Maybe I'm wrong and just fear change, it's a possibility too.
Mine are in my bed, I however, am not.
At some point Tammy got the baby into bed, makes sense since he enjoys a boobielicious snack around midnight. Around 3am Mercer crawls in with us, along with blankets, bottles and bears, oh my.
So after 15 minutes of being crammed in between the two, I give up and retreat to the couch. An hour later I'm in the kitchen making coffee and have given up on the idea of sleep tonight.
Is it too soon to send them off to boarding school?
Play's Controversial Title Leads To Complaints, Change
ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. -- A modified marquee in Atlantic Beach has been drawing some attention. "Hoohaa" replaced a word in the title of a play after a driver complained about finding the previous wording offensive.
The marquis for Atlantic Theaters advertises a number of plays including, the Masquerade Ball, Band Jam, and now The Hoohaa Monologues.
Some said hoohaa is a strange word and that its definition depends on its context, while others said it sounds like a country band.
However, it's not a band at all. In fact, most people know hoohah by a different name -- vagina.
"We got a complaint about this play The Vagina Monologues," said Bryce Pfanenstiel, of the Atlantic Theater.
The Hoohah Monologues is a replacement title for The Vagina Monologues -- a well-known play about that part of the female body.
"We decided we would just use child slang for it. That's how we decided on Hoohah Monologues," Pfanenstiel said.
They did this after a driver who saw it complained to the theater, saying she was upset that her niece saw it.
"I'm on the phone and asked 'What did you tell her?' She's like, 'I'm offended I had to answer the question,'" Pfanenstiel said.
Some parents said they applaud the title change.
The theater said they're trying not to offend anyone, but the publicity doesn't hurt.
"We hope people understand we're trying to do the right thing. But as far as doing it for attention, we're a comedy club, we do all kinds of shenanigans," Pfanenstiel said.
The play is being brought to the theater by a group of law school students and all of the proceeds are going to various charity organizations.
The director of the play said she was going ask the theater and comedy club to return the title back to its original name.
Lesson for your kids: Your hoohaa is a horrible filthy thing that you should be ashamed of.
I refuse to multiply if no sexual activity is taking place.
And even then I try to avoid it.
It was time to update to SQL Server SP1 and Saturday seems like a good day since the office is largely empty. So I took the baby with me to let Tammy sleep in some and give me a chance to teach him all about being a DBA. He's remarkably attentive, but I think the process may still be somewhat confusing to him and his inability to take notes poses a slight obstacle. But at 10 months, I'm willing to cut him some slack.
It may or may not snow tomorrow morning, so the school district, including Mercer's daycare, is on a two hour delay. I emailed the boss and told him I'd try to get out of bed around 9:30 tomorrow
4 year old thread, Still good
Our current BOFH is going out in a few weeks for shoulder surgery after tearing a tendon fencing a few months ago. He's expecting to be out one or two weeks at least, and is trying the PFY, aka, me, to hold the fort while he's not here to rule his domain.
I'm looking forward to it, it should be fun. And there's so much that I can improve while he's gone, he's been here for like 18 years, so of course there are things that a fresh set of eyes can find to improve. Like simplify the backup procedures by eliminating a few sets of tapes, change the IP ranges to be 192.168/16 rather than 192.168.1/24 (More elbow room). Not to mention, all those cables hooking into the switch could be routed in a more tidy fashion, I'm sure I can improve the cable routing by just cleaning it up a bit. While I'm at it. the servers on the rack could probably be organized alphabetically ascending rather than just have them sit in the order they were installed. Not to mention, we have a bunch of different service accounts doing various things, how much simpler wouldn't it be to just run it all as Administrator instead. Likewise we have a whole bunch of groups and policies in our Domain, I think we can merge all these together into just a Users group and save some administrative effort. Then of course update the documentation to use a cross linked Wiki instead of just text files on a network share.
Yes, I can see lots of room for improvement. I'll make him proud.
I won't tell him beforehand though, it'll be a surprise.
Right now I'm developing a reporting web application to be used primarily by our external users. In the process I'm also refactoring some old code to try to establish a more solid platform for future applications, the whole re-usability thing that's so popular these days.
One of the things I've found in working with
This morning I wanted to create a fairly simple thing, have a base page that other pages inherit from that can provide common functionality, error handling etc. For instance, I want the ability to show a message at the top of each page indicating he outcome of an operation. So I add a ShowMessage method to my base class.
OK, all is fine and dandy.
But, I also want to use ASP.Net master pages for the visual layout, how to accomplish this along with the base page turned out to be not as simple as it would appear. Looking through forums and articles people have come up with a multitude of "clever" ways to do similar things, and the more clever, the more lines of code. So testing the various methods, finding out that there was "just this one little thing" that the developer hadn't solved "just yet".... Various approaches of overriding render methods, assigning master pages at runtime, creating custom content templates, and all kinds of other crazy things.
Finally I thought, "There's got to be a better way to do this".
Which means, there usually is.
The simple solution was the create an Interface with a Showmessage method.
Have the Masterpage implement this interface.
Have the base page test the type of the master page it belongs to, and if the interface is implemented, call ShowMessage in the master page.
Simple, elegant, and very not-clever.
I don't like clever. Too damn many
If you haven't already.

Yes, it's worth 15 minutes of your life.
Did anyone notice that it went missing?
As noted below, my subscription lapsed and I never noticed thanks to adblock, doh!
It began with a radio station contest:
"Hold your wee for a Wii" at the studios of radio station KDND 107.9.
A twenty-eight year old Sacramento mother of three has died of water intoxication after taking part in a local radio competition to win a Wii console.Jennifer Strange was found dead on Friday at her home after taking part in a contest named "Hold your wee for a Wii" at the studios of radio station KDND 107.9. The competition involved drinking large quantities of water, with the last person to go to the toilet winning a Wii console - currently out of stock in most of North America.
An Associated Press interview with another contestant, named James Ybarra, claimed that contestants were initially given eight ounce bottles of water to drink every fifteen minutes, with larger bottles being used once contestants began to drop out. According to Ybarra, "They told us if you don't feel like you can do this, don't put your health at risk." He described the victim as "a nice lady" and that "she was telling me about her family and her three kids and how she was doing it for her kids."
According to Wikipedia's definition of the condition, water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is upset by a rapid intake of water. It is unclear how serious a danger to the contestant's health KDND knew the competition to be at the time.
John Geary, vice president and marketing manager for Entercom Sacramento, the station's owner, claimed to the AP that station personnel were "stunned" when they heard of Strange's death. "We are awaiting information that will help explain how this tragic event occurred," he said. The incident has already been widely reported by mass media outlets around the world.
OK, stupid bitch deserved what she got seems to be a common thought. After all, she willingly participated, it's not like the radio station made her do it, right?
But a recording indicates that the DJs were very well aware of the risks, even joked about them:
"Can you not get like water poisoning and die"
"Maybe we should have researched this before, hahaha"
"If it gets dangerous for somebody, their body will automatically throw it up"
A nurse calls in to say:
Caller: "Those people that are drinking all that water, can get sick and possibly die from water intoxication"
DJ#1: "Yeah we're aware of that"
DJ#2: "They signed releases so we're not responsible, it's OK"
DJ#1"And if they get to the point where they have to throw up, they're gonna throw up and they're out of the contest before they die, so that's good right?"
Jennifer, the deceased, comes on:
DJ#1: "Jennifer I hear you're not doing too well"
Jennifer: "My head hurts, they keep telling me it's the water, it'll tell my head to hurt, and it'll make me puke, but I don't..."
DJ#1: "Who told you that, the intern?"
Jennifer: "Like, it kinda, it
DJ#1: "This is what it feels like when you're drowning, there's a lot of water inside of you"
Jennifer: "Oh, it hurts"
So they knew about the risks, created a dangerous competition, failed to do research beforehand, downplayed the dangers, provided inaccurate medical advice to the contestants, and failed to provide any form of assistance when it became apparent that contestants weren't feeling well as a result of the competition.
She might've lost the Wii, but I think the family will win a radio station.
PS3: 9 of them in a pile on the floor.
Wii: 0, and most accessories were gone as well.
It's OK to not be precise, I promise, I grew up with Metric, I'll vouch for you. You really can say that a building is "oooh, I dunno, 30 or 40 meters tall".
It's OK, calm down, no-one is going to make you give accurate and precise numbers down to the smallest decimal should you ever have to use Metric.
You don't have to explicitly ask for 473.18ml of beer rather than a pint. Just ask for a beer, the bartender will handle it, it's not a big deal.
When baking, you don't have to actually measure 387 grams of flours for 3 cups, just change the proportions and wing it. 7 deciliters should about do it, add some more if needed.
But what of my woodworking tools, what about the 2x4? Good god what the hell is a 2x4 in Metric?!
Calm down, calm down, for trade-specific areas we use inches or whatever other unit as well! Studs are still often called 2x4, boats and planes travel in knots, day trips can still be expressed as "about 2 hours away", and a 38 inch rack on a 24 inch frame can be expressed as "Holy shit look at those boobs!".
