Linux in the Real World
While TAEX has received many favorable comments via e-mail, a more accurate progress assessment can be made by analyzing user access patterns.
Between February 13 and December 31, 1994, certain trends emerged. Daily usage patterns were high between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, but there were no "dead" hours. Weekend usage was about half that of weekday usage. Mosaic (http) access grew rapidly, but represented only 49% of Leviathan's total accesses. Gopher access was still important in 1994. The majority (62%) of the users were in the United States. Of these, most (67%) were from educational institutions, 16% were from the commercial (.com) domain, and 6% were from the government (.gov) domain. Leviathan's users were mostly (80%) from outside the TAMU system. Some 69,476 accesses (16%) were from Texas, which means that 84% of the requests were from out of state. Texas County Extension Agents visited 1062 times, while 215 Texas Extension Specialists connected 38,561 times.
Leviathan has been visited by people in 62 identifiable countries outside the United States on six continents. There have been contacts from 793 different educational domains in all 50 states. Delphi users accessed Leviathan 3,365 times, and America OnLine subscribers called 2,172 times. Compuserve users finally connected 48 times in December. The server has been contacted by 1,270 individual host machines more than 50 times; 561 of these visited more than 100 times; and 22 dropped in more than 1000 times in that period.
If you build it, they will come....The demand for on-line information is staggering.
If you provide useful information, they will come back, repeatedly, for more.
Providing networked access to information is often cheaper than traditional methods of distribution.
Networked access to information is only useful as to those who are networked. It should be viewed an adjunct to existing distribution methods.
Simple text-based information is valuable. FTP and gopher are not dead. While the sizzle may sell the steak, content is more important than presentation.
Consider your audience. Ensure that documents make sense when viewed in a text-only mode.
Use graphics sparingly. Keep in-lined graphics small. Many users have slow dial-up network connections.
The Internet does not end at the state line. We now serve people in other states and nations of the global village at no incremental cost.
Servers must serve 24 hours a day. It is 3 PM some where on the Internet all the time.
Servers should not be shut down for update and maintenance. This implies a multitasking operation.
Graphics and audio files should be clearly identified through use of icons.
Keep menu pages small and simple, with 5 ± 2 selections.
Almost any old obsolete computer can be used as a server. Storage capacity is more important than powerful CPUs.
Current WYSIWYG editors are often harder to use than simple text editors for producing HTML.
Storage space and network bandwidth are both finite.
Time costs more than equipment.
Administering a server takes more time than expected.
Organizing information is sometimes harder than producing it.
Writing HTML documents is far easier than it first appears.
We often overestimate what we can do in a week and underestimate what we can do in a year.
Linux is not merely a hobbyist's toy; it is a solid, stable, professionally-implemented Unix clone that performs superbly as a production information server platform.
Evolving telecommunications and computer technology are combining to produce a technological imperative for change, requiring information access as well as traditional information distribution techniques. Government agencies will continue to be asked to provide more and better services with a shrinking resource base. Demand for information access will likely continue to increase for the foreseeable future, causing a corresponding demand for more network bandwidth. The TAEX combination FTP/Gopher/WWW server demonstrates that a low cost (> $1,500 US) computer running only free software can supply a moderate-to-large amount of information. Usage is growing at a rate of 10,000 accesses monthly. Demand for gopher http access. FTP is still a viable and desired method of file transfer. Information servers provide information to inhabitants of the global village without barriers of time and distance. TAEX's Gopher/WWW/FTP information server is a promising alternative medium for outreach and distance learning for our changing clientele. It is a digital extension of the agency's motto: People Helping People.

Texas Agricultural Extension Service (TAEX) "helps people improve their lives through an educational process which uses scientific knowledge focused on issues and needs". Much of TAEX's mission involves information transfer to the people of the State of Texas. Like many government agencies tasked with providing better service with a shrinking resource base, TAEX has long been interested in innovative approaches to better serving the public without the barriers of time and distance.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

In the early 1600's the Morgan family in Bala, Merioneth, Wales heard the famous George Fox while he was on a missionary trip to convert the welsh to his new religion called the Quakers. They joined George Fox in London to help promote the new religion. When William Penn received a land grant for a colony in the new world, the Morgan family were among the first boatloads of Quakers to voyage to the new world and settle in the Pennsylvania territory. That's where our story begins.... THE AMERICAN MORGAN FAMILY It's with pride that I dedicate this page to the American Morgan Family in honor of a man who wore the Morgan name with pride, my father, George Raymond Morgan! From the mountains of Wales, across the Atlantic and then across the American continent, the Morgan family has travelled from Sea to Shining Sea! |

My grandfather left me a tackle box that contained, among various wooden lures, a curious knife. It looks old, but it's not beat up. More like used well and well taken care of.
I'm more of a gun guy and, though I used to have a knife collection, it no longer exists. I retained some pieces that were useful to me but mostly they're utilitarian.
Anyway, here is the knife. Hopefully someone can help me.
Thank you,

A good, Bluetooth keyboard can turn an iPad or other tablet into a workhorse of a portable computer that performs many of the same tasks as a laptop. The weak link with a lot of tablets is the on-screen keyboard -- those are OK for banging out text messages and such, but aren't worth much for doing some serious work.
For those who hate the on-screen keyboards on smartphones, there are plenty of Bluetooth keyboards on the market for those mobile devices, too. If you miss having a physical keyboard on your smartphone, a Bluetooth one may be an option worth exploring.

DIY Credit Repair
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting Suncoast Scribe!
Banks are tightening up mortgage-lending standards and as a direct result, credit-repair companies are seeing a rise in business coming from people who need to clean up their credit reports so they can obtain a mortgage. If you watch TV commercials, you might be apt to believe that these companies are your only chance at redemption.
But, credit repair companies don't actually offer everything you need in order to repair your scores. You need to tackle the issue from multiple angles, become educated in the industry, and above all else – persevere. In the end, you can do it yourself.
There is no quick fix. Instead, one of your best bets is to find lenders willing to work with people who have bad credit, make payments on the new accounts in a timely and responsible manner and then slowly watch your credit score repair itself. Sites like BadCreditOffers.com are basically a clearinghouse for finding products that are appropriate for your needs. Home loans, personal loans, car loans – you name it and there are companies you can go to and find programs that allow you to borrow, despite your current credit rating.
Take the initiative and you will find that with a little work, you can raise your own credit score.

My first personal finance teacher
Posted by Catherine Gordon on May 15, 2012 @ 1:55 am in Personal finance
The timing of Teacher Appreciation Week (May 7–11) and Mother's Day (May 13) got me to thinking about what my mom taught me about finance. While mothers may not be teachers in the official sense, they play an important role in teaching us about the world around us.
I remember learning about the concept of money at an early age, but it was around simple things like how many nickels go into a quarter. I also learned that money paid for things, like groceries. I remember my mother pulling out her checkbook—the big desktop kind, not the one carried around in a purse—which made me think of paying bills as a very important and formal process.
While I don't remember any explicit lessons about money or saving, it was clear from the way we lived that managing within our means was paramount. Many of the trips we took were to places that were free (how many kids get to celebrate their 10th birthday watching the ships pass through Canada's Welland Canal?) but just as memorable as anything that had a price tag.
I grew up in a pre-ATM world, but my kids didn't. They grew up watching me get money from the machine and assume all we had to do was go to the "money store" to get what we needed! I very quickly helped them make the connection between work and money. Modest allowances and early jobs were stressed as a way to balance needs with wants. Our son, Andrew, remembers being taught that it was more important to have money for things we needed, or for emergencies. He also remembers the message that financial decisions impact the people you care about the most—your family. Our daughter, Claire, had similar thoughts and added one of her own: money isn't the most important thing in the world, but it can be used to support, enhance, and provide for the most important things in the world.
While our family's messages around money may have been more general than specific, I'm glad to know another generation has the right perspective.
How did you learn about personal finance? How did you pass along your knowledge to the next generation?

Kim's been in hiding since she gave birth to North West on June 15. According to a new report, there's a very specific reason why the reality star's keeping herself and her baby holed up indoors.
Kim Kardashian is famous for being a public persona, so it seems a bit strange that she's been in hiding since the birth of her baby North West on June 15. Sadly, Kim will remain in hiding through at least July 25, according to the new report.
Kim Kardashian Staying Home With Baby North West — Armenian Tradition
Kim, 32, is reportedly following the Armenian tradition of staying at home for 40 days after the birth of a newborn, X17 Online claims.
During those first 40 days, only relatives are allowed to see the baby. According to the same report, Kourtney Kardashian allegedly followed this tradition with her children, Mason and Penelope.
Not only is the practice done for religious purposes, but it's allegedly also known to have health benefits for the baby. If the baby — in this case, Nori — stays indoors for 40 days, she's not exposed to bacteria outside of the house.
Kim Kardashian Is Shedding Weight Before Her Return To The Spotlight
While Kim still has 20 days to go, she's definitely using this time to her advantage. She's been bonding with North and shedding baby weight in the process, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively!
"Kim sleeps whenever North sleeps. She's tired of course, but also just completely in love," the source adds. (So cute! We can't wait to meet her.)
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Kim come outdoors and reveal North West?

It's been lovely not having to see the daily parade of ugly maternity clothes and ever exploding body, including feet. Ugh.. Nice rest. Hope this continues. She's not concerned about "religious practice" in keeping the baby's first month private; it's Kanye's idea and a good one. She does not want people seeing HER until she's been tucked and plasticized, and the baby is probably very undersized and needs to gain some weight before they consider cashing in on one or more of the big bucks offers from the tabloids. But they will cave into Kris' demands soon enough…wait for it. Kanye needs to stand his ground.

The first thing I remember learning about Kim Kardashian is that she enjoyed getting pissed on. In her sex tape, Kim Kardashian: Superstar, which was "illegally" released in 2007 by Vivid Entertainment, there were rumors of a golden shower scene between Kim K. and Ray-J Brandy's younger brother in which Kim willingly gets peed on by Ray J's . Do you remember that? Do you remember that Kim Kardashian, America's Sweetheart, first entered public consciousness via urine-soaked sex with an F-list celebrity?
No. Of course you don't. Because her mother, Kris Jenner, has stolen all of our memories of the event and replaced them with images of a concerned and empathetic Kim Kardashian visiting a children's cancer ward instead. She may've first became relevant through sex but as soon as Kim Kardashian got her foot in the door, she switched the narrative on us.

I know the EyeSee mannequins aren't as scary as the Autons from Doctor Who but I don't like the idea of being watched. I already hate salesladies following me whenever I get inside a shop and now this. I guess from the view of the shop owner, it's a great idea. I agree but just don't inform the customers your "eyes" are on them.
The EyeSee mannequin obviously has a camera installed in one eye. It works with a facial-recognition software that processes data to recognize the age, gender, and race based on what it sees. Of course, we're thinking data won't be accurate.
Stores under Benetton Group are already using the EyeSee Mannequins. I have no problem with that, just don't make them move.
Come to think of it, the Autons could be real in the future. Yikes!

Does the game play more like Halo (NOVA2) or does it play more like MW (MC3)? I'm just curious because I thought NOVA2 & MC3 played/felt very different. I personally prefer the more Halo style since it's not common in the app store.
I think from the latest trailer that the game plays more like Unreal or maybe Halo than MW. It really seems fast paced.
But the enemies are dumb as a brick. Also Danish review. http://www.gamereactor.dk/anmeldelser/109191/N.O.V.A.+3 with tons of pics (and customized controls ) |
for people who don't know danish I will translate:
master Chief's closest competitor is back on iOS, and Lee talks about the latest adventure featuring some surprises among all the familiar. Split my topsail, it was a rag doll effect. These are some of my first words around NOVA Third No one hears them, for I am all alone with my iPad. Perhaps it is very good, because besides that I used the word ragdoll, so there was probably a lot more profaniteter contained in the sentence than depicted above. But the fact is that the game for many gamers is that the handheld's answer to Halo has got an earful. The rumor was that the Unreal engine would be used to NOVA 3, as Gameloft had purchased the license. But it is now clear that they instead have used the experience gained from their work with Unreal to improve their in-house engine so much that it no longer NOVA Maintained Kal Wardin is still part of the story, but it takes a good while after the last game and this time the adventure starts out on Earth. Or remnants of it. Without spoiling too much of the plot (yes there's a plot and a rather nice one) I can tell that Kal is called to San Francisco as a terraforming project has gone wrong. The place is teeming now with Volterites as NOVA's response to the "evil". Kals virtual female "helmet-voice" is once again with a partner, but this time in a slightly different form. When the omnipotent Prometheus gets wind of the affair, ends Kal to be sent on a true treasure hunt across the galaxy to save humanity (what else?). After a hard landing on Earth, it's time to look around. In review, it is usually a larger dissekeringsprojekt when changes to be detected from a section of the series to another. And where it normally is like having to look for a couple of needles in a haystack, is it this time as finding a pole firmly planted in hay. And not just a normal lamppost, but a shiny, glistening one of its kind, where the beam color environment while covert rust red scuff marks bear witness to better days. It's really crazy. How N.O.V.A. 2 was a little cartoon-like version of Halo with a simple color palette, NOVA 3 as Crysis mixed with Gears of War and added a little color struggled from Far Cry. It is mildly impressive. When it while drifting around with effects, one's vision is long and the framerate is stable, it is as I gasp for breath. But it is not the only improvement. The soundtrack is in fact this time surprisingly good. And I mean not only good but holy-shit-it-works-great-great. When the invisible enemy location, direction is determined by going after the sound, and robot-like creatures cry can do a Star Wars fan weak at the knees, it's fat. Yes, you can still hear that there is a tight budget, but you get seized with voice acting, which certainly has its moments. Kal sounds admittedly still a very macho-like man who speaks in a can, while Darth Vader listening enviously from the sidelines. But now it is even so he says, and it is delivered with a life, particularly for Gameloft games are incredibly rare. In fact all the characters charming, and their dialogues are sometimes really funny. Like when Cal and an old friend has hijacked a huge Mech and his friend definitely want to talk about one of Kals old flames. The only problem is that Kal points out that a lot of Volterites try to head them, and that conversation may therefore not be about women right there. Companion asks obviously wondering about what the heck Kal will talk about? It is macho bull and it is velleveret and charming. The energy that has gone into voice acting is echoed in empathy, and when the ten missions are over, you sit back with a feeling of having experienced a really great action-adventure. It is also because there is surprisingly good variation in the environment. To visit a destroyed San Francisco in itself is an experience that feels fresh in NOVA-context, and when the tour then moves on to a huge desert planet (with clear inspiration from Rage in both enemies and design), to continue to almost Mass Effect-style spaceships of alien-infected space stations to deadly climate challenges on lava planets, you are well entertained in the seven to eight hours singleplayer component products. As with management at both Modern Combat 3: Black Pegasus and NOVA 2 Exports are exemplary. Looking for changes, you will be disappointed, there is virtually no tracking. In other words, single player is as solid as ever, and the same applies to management. |
And then it's time for what for many is the main course: multiplayer.
NOVA series is a classic old-school shooters understood the best way. It is wonderfully nostalgic and relatively simple, while it still has the depth that it takes to keep the interest. It's Halo mixed with Goldeneye as you remember it (yes, I mention the Holy Grail). N.O.V.A. has perks and so many options in the content, that you can always find a way to be entertained, whether it be done exclusively with friends locally or online. This time, it can be done with all 12 players at once on six different locations. The major addition is now, however, that both the vehicles and mechs can be used. Vehicles are in the best Warthogs-style fast sandbuggies with room for a gunner, while Mech-ton machines are bastards with heavy artillery. As always in Gamelofts online parts can be earned points for perks (more weapons, better radar systems, faster reload, and all the usual types of benefits). There is also now more fun equipment like jetpacks to find in the pot. All things can be earned through normal play, and the prices are reasonable. Would you rather buy the parts of this, it can happen for quite exorbitant sums of money (about a fifty, a jetpack cost, while it can be recouped by taking about twenty matches, if nothing else at the time of testing). As something new, there are now regular competitions. The winner of these will be mentioned on the multiplayer menu, and there are prizes for the top 100. It's a great way to create a community around the game and ensure that the enemy is more than just anonymous players. A number of ready-made messages that can be easily selected from a menu that also ensures that we can thank for the good game, ask people to stay in the group and so smart. Gameloft shows other words that they are the king of multiplayer, and with tracks which again has good variety and game modes that include virtually all the classic genres are set for a good fight. Capture the Flag, Capture the Point, Free-for-all, InstaGib and Team Deathmatch count the classics, while Freeze Tag uses Kals ability to freeze enemies and create a sort fangeleg players in between. Which brings me to the last part: Arms Committee. In single-Kal can always generate pressure waves, freezing and low bullet time-killing. Repetoiret of arms has added a wonderful flame-thrower, while shotguns, rocket launchers, grenades, bazookas, sniper rifles, pistols and alien gizmos count the rest of the arsenal. The weapons have good weight and feels right, although there is still a tendency to slightly imbalance of certain weapons (weapons committee can be set in MP, so the problem is not large). Now there's hardly said a bad word about the game in this review and I must also admit that I had to dig well to find criticisms of the mobile game. For it is thus still a mobile game, although it is approaching a good console quality. As previously mentioned, the voice acting at times, its limitations, but it's still Gamelofts best-ever efforts. I was through dubbing suffered twice to stick. The one time because I had bewildered myself behind some boxes "because I could" and thus fell through the spaceship. The second time when a door would not open even if the enemies were dead. With regular check-points, it was not the big problem. There are also some mouth movements are not synchronous with the sound, it is not very often. The Warthog-like vehicle steering requires opposite the cool mechs also some getting used to, but as always with Gamelofts titles can be set to control almost the same taste. About the future will offer the same problems with hackers who destroys the pleasure of playing MP with nothing but friends are hard to predict, but Gameloft seems more aware of this problem in this game. Is N.O.V.A. 3 generic? Tjoe perhaps, but far less than before. Kal & Co. seems to have found their own form, and the story is with a solid finale is far from stupid. I am not a second of doubt that this is iOS format's finest shooters that singleplayer portion is solid and the multiplayer is pounding fun. If you're the type who go to see Transformers to the movies and go disappointed away, because there were transforming robots, you might also be disappointed that Cal looks like a generic super soldier that the talks are macho funny that the enemies look wicked off and the shooting gallery atmosphere with snot stupid enemies, who shout the same ten sentences again and again. My opinion? I myself declared N.O.V.A.-fanboy. And N.O.V.A. 3 has only beaten my love for the series stuck with shiny futuristic hammer home |

my armor and my teamcolor? |

Pressure Cooker Buying Tips
Special Offers
- When shopping for a pressure cooker, decide if you want a rangetop or electric model: Stovetop models tend to work faster, and the pot can also be used as a stockpot. Electric models take longer but can also be used as slow cookers or steamers. Electric pressure cookers also automatically regulate pressure and bring down pressure once cooking is done, so theres no guesswork.
- Look for a pressure cooker made of stainless steel, so it wont interact with food, but be sure it has a heavy aluminum base to distribute heat well.
- A pressure cooker with more than one pressure setting will allow you to cook a variety of foods stews and pot roasts, which require high pressure, as well as delicate vegetables and custards, which benefit from lower pressure.
- Look for a built-in quick release setting, which will make it easy to release pressure quickly when you are cooking delicate foods or do not have the time to let the pressure drop naturally.
- Before using your pressure cooker, read the owners manual carefully for safety instructions, cooking guidelines, and tips.
- Browning meats before pressure cooking them will enhance their appearance and flavor.
- Before each use, check the steam vent to make sure its not clogged. Make sure that the gasket is correctly in place.
- Be sure to use some liquid along with food to create steam.
- Do not fill the cooker more than 2/3 full or past the maximum fill line.
- When cooking foods like stews and pot roasts that require tenderization, let pressure drop naturally, if time allows.
- If cooking foods like vegetables or custards that can overcook easily, use a quick release method to stop cooking.
- Never force a pressure cooker open if it does not open easily.

Dance Marketing
Using Disney to attract new dance students
A great way to attract new dance students to your classes is to use current trends and popular TV shows or movies. Disney is great at producing programs that children love, and lots of times those programs contain catchy music and fun choreography. Hannah Montana, Camp Rock, Shake it Up and other programs have all featured dance routines in the past. What's great about Disney is they re-run the programs over and over, and do special dance commercials, so the kids see the moves frequently. Many would love to learn the choreography. Here are some ways to use Disney programs to draw new students in to your classes.
1. Host a dance workshop or special clinic for kids to learn a routine from one of the Disney shows. This may draw in kids that normally wouldn't sign up for a year of classes but maybe just want to try some dancing. You can learn the routine from the program by watching it (YouTube is great for this) or you could simply use the same song and choreograph your own routine.
2. Advertise that you are learning a Disney routine in your regular classes. If you have a sign outside your facility or regular print advertising, include mention of the routine. Something like, "This week we're learning dance moves from 'Shake it Up'" will get their attention. You can also post it on your website calendar, email newsletter, Facebook and Twitter.
3. Post a YouTube video of the class doing the routine. Make sure to include keywords in the description of the video that identify your business and your location so that someone looking for dance classes in your town may come across the video and be inspired.
4. Take photos of the workshop or class doing the routine and post them online (with permission). Tag your students in the photos if they are on Facebook so the photos show up in other people's Facebook newsfeeds. Make sure you put your business name and contact info in the photo description in case someone wants to contact you for more information.
5. Visit a school or group such as the Girl Scouts or school PTO and teach the group the Disney dance. This could even be done as a fundraiser for the group. Make sure you have information about your business to hand out to the attendees if they are interested.
6. Offer Disney-themed Dance Birthday parties. If you have the space available offer to do dance parties where you teach the dance and then have some free time for the dancers to play, open gifts, eat cake, etc.
Using Disney and other popular programs that reach your target market is a great way to connect with new students. Hope some of these ideas inspire you to reach out!

So my Lee 452 230 gr TC bullets, lubed with Lee Liquid Alox, shot great with no leading at all in my XDm. What I did notice, is a hell of a lot of smoke and a peculiar odor that was no doubt the Alox (it actually kinda smelled like the LLA does). Is this a sign that I had too much lube on the bullets? I lubed twice, once before sizing and once afterwards. I only used a tiny bit initially, and suspect I may have used too much for the final lube. It was still very cool, given it was my first time to ever shoot bullets that I had cast

text: For reasons I cannot explain or justify, I am something of a news junkie. One would think that some old and decrepit coot that lives in a remote area and eschews his neighbors wouldn't give a hoot in Hades about news events, but every morning on my second cup of coffee I go to my computer and peruse various news websites. With that in mind, here are a few interesting tidbits I found this morning: For the second time in 8 days Rapid City, S.D. police have had to kill a mountain lion that has taken up residence within their jurisdiction. About 9:45 a.m. last Saturday some city residents were working in a shed on their property when their dog became agitated. They found a gaunt female mountain lion cowering in the rear of the shed. After taking a swipe at the dog and causing minor injuries, police were notified and the decision was made to put the cat down. From the "moronic tourist department" comes a story in my backyard. St. Newbury, Mass. resident Robert Dea received serious injuries, including a broken collarbone, shoulder blade, several ribs and a groin injury, from a bison he refused to give ground to near the Norris campground in Yellowstone National Park. Dea allowed the bull bison to approach him while sitting and refused to move away. Apparently the bison took umbrage at Dea's lack of protocol and threw him some 10 feet into the air and then pinned him to the ground. When a person enters Yellowstone they are given several pieces of literature admonishing them to keep their distance from the wildlife. Many blow off such advice, and some pay the price of that stupidity. Our longtime friends at Ruger have just purchased a minority interest in Kodabow, Inc., a crossbow manufacturer based in West Chester, Pa. According to Business Wire, "This investment reflects our interest in participating in one of the faster growing segments of the hunting market," said Ruger President and CEO Michael O. Fifer. "Crossbows are increasingly becoming a new and exciting choice for outdoor-oriented consumers as they bridge the gap between traditional archery and firearms." From its inception, Ruger has always had a flair for the old-school classics. And finally my favorite story of the day from the "you-just-can't-make-this-stuff-up department" and Fox News: 72-year-old Daniel Collins Jr. is facing charges that include aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and terroristic threats for pulling a .32-caliber revolver on a neighbor who passed gas outside his Teaneck, N.J., apartment door. The two men reportedly have an ongoing dispute over noise in the neighborhood.

You may be surprised to learn that in an average day – commuting to work, buying a coffee, shopping, exercising and so on – it's likely you'll have been exposed to as many as 5000 advertising messages. While this may sound like an alarming figure, most of us probably won't have even noticed, consciously at least.
From outdoor billboards, radio commercials and TV ads to shopping dockets and even your coffee cup, advertising is everywhere. With industry research revealing that up to 75% of new products launched on the market are destined to fail, the advertising industry has had to become more creative in the war for our attention. And the weapons they use are as diverse as the products they're spruiking; from brainscans to chatty hairdressers, the industry has never been more innovative.
So just what are some of the latest techniques advertisers and marketers use to open our hearts, minds, and most importantly, wallets? CHOICE decided to find out.
While there's never been more competition to grab our attention, the news isn't all bad. With the advent of the internet, social networking sites and mobile phones, never before has the consumer had so much access to information and subsequently to advertisers.
According to Adam Ferrier, consumer psychologist and planning partner for Australian agency Naked Communications, consumers have nothing to fear from the advertising industry. "I think that with digital technology, consumers are much more empowered. You can't just get away with a glossy ad with bright shiny teeth anymore. These days there is a lot more opportunity for consumers to get what they want, rather than what marketers think they want."
If you see an advertisement you think has crossed the line for whatever reason, the Advertising Standards Bureau accepts complaints for most forms of advertising. For more information head to www.adstandards.com.au
Please note: this information was current as of March 2009 but is still a useful guide to today's market.

Aston Villa midfielder Gary Gardner is to be sidelined for 'eight to nine months' after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Villa have confirmed that the 20-year-old will be forced under the knife as a result of the problem.
Gardner picked up the knock while turning out for Villa's U21 side against Stoke on Wednesday.
The ailment is set to keep the youngster out of action for almost the entire 2012/13 campaign.
The earliest he could make a return is late April, but that would leave him with little time to work on his match sharpness.
Villa boss Paul Lambert admits the news regarding Gardner's setback has offered him an untimely early season 'blow'.
He told the club's official website: "It's a blow and it's definitely a blow for the lad but he's very positive and he'll get great attention all the way through his rehab."
Gardner suffered a similar problem in his other knee in 2009.

More About:
A grass hay category will be added in the 2011 World Forage Analysis Superbowl contest celebrated at World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI, this coming October.
"The committee is excited to add an additional category to this growing contest," says Steve Peterson of AgSource Cooperative Services, one of the contest's sponsors. "This new category recognizes the growth and importance of grass-based forages.
"In last year's contest, 279 entries from 25 states went home with over $20,000 in cash prizes. We're seeing more dairy producers and forage growers competing each year, and we hope the grass hay category will allow for even more to get involved," he says.
The Superbowl's other six categories are: commercial hay, dairy hay, haylage, baleage, standard corn silage and brown midrib (BMR) corn silage. Sponsors also present Quality Counts Awards for hay/haylage and corn silage. Category winners and the Grand Champion Forage Producer are named at a special luncheon at Expo.
For more on the Superbowl, visit www.foragesuperbowl.org or call 715-758-2178. Cash prize details, entry forms and contest rules will be available in March. The deadline for corn silage entries for this year's contest is Aug. 18, and all other entries are due Sept. 7. A $25 fee provides entry into the contest and the opportunity to win cash prizes, along with a detailed laboratory analysis of the sample.
The Superbowl is organized in partnership with AgSource Cooperative Services, AgSource Laboratories, DairyBusiness Communications, Hay & Forage Grower, U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center, University of Wisconsin and World Dairy Expo.

You should take the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) Test if you did not learn American English as your first language and did not attend at least 10 years of school (elementary, middle, high school) in the United States . The test results determine English and Reading placement levels.
The ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) Test (sample) includes both multiple choice questions and a writing sample and lasts approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours. This test does not include any math questions. Non-native speakers of English who wish to take the Math section of the Accuplacer Test must first take the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) test.
At the counseling session (IMAP), you will receive your scores and recommendations for classes. You will be able to take the Math section of the Accuplacer depending on your English scores. You may be exempt if you meet certain criteria.
What are placement levels?
You must take assessment tests, including the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) test, to determine your placement level. Placement levels indicate the specific courses you must complete in English, Reading and Speech. You may not register for all higher level courses until you complete these course requirements.
What are assessment levels?
Assessment levels are the minimum levels of English, reading or math that may be required for any course in the College Catalog. For example, the Catalog states that CS 100 requires specific assessment levels in English, reading and math. You cannot register for any course with a required assessment level until your academic record shows that you have met that level.
Why do only non-native speakers of English take the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) test?
The ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) test is designed for students who learned American English after already speaking at least one other language. It produces accurate results for these students.
I graduated from a Montgomery County High School. Isn't that enough proof that I speak English?
The ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) and Accuplacer tests are used to assure that all degree seeking Montgomery College students have adequate English language skills to succeed academically. The tests are not used to see whether you "speak English," but whether you are academically prepared in English for college level courses.
What happens if my ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) score is not high enough to take EN 101?
You will be required to take one or more courses in the AELP Program (ESL classes).
What happens to a student who takes the Accuplacer and scores below the level for EN 101?
The student must take developmental English classes designed for native speakers of English.
When should I take the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) test?
You should take the exam at least 6-8 weeks before the start of your first term at Montgomery College. Registration begins very early each semester, and many AELP classes fill quickly. Waiting too late to take the ESL Accuplacer (LOEP) test may cause you to miss your opportunity to study for an entire semester.

Americans love to feel guilty about something: drinking, gambling, sexing, watching TV, sucking on hard candy, calling someone a cad, the list goes on. We feel guilty because we don't believe that perfection is possible and we must find something to blame for our failure. Track the number of times you feel guilty each day on the "Schmuck" meter. Fortunately, it is our guilt that pushes us to be innovators and constantly seek improvement. We still rule and you can keep track of your good deeds on the You Done Good? zeaLOG.

WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver for Western National Bank, Phoenix, Arizona. As of September 30, 2011, the bank had approximately $162.9 million of total assets.
The OCC acted after finding that the bank had experienced substantial dissipation of assets and earnings due to unsafe or unsound practices. The OCC also found that the bank is likely to incur additional losses that will deplete its capital, and there is no reasonable prospect that the bank will become adequately capitalized without federal assistance.
The FDIC will release information about the resolution of the bank.

For four days in March, SmartGeometry Conference 2010 workshop groups took digital design beyond the computer screen, fabricating a variety of prototypes to discover how parametric models behave in real life.
Play Slideshow >>
Let's Get Physical
Courtesy Bentley Systems
"Deep Surfaces" pursued the creation of a complex 3D tensile membrane system composed of steel wire and elastic fabric.
Leave the nails and screws behind? That was the idea behind "Rapid R&D to Rapid Assembly," which developed a snap-together approach to architecture.
With the help of a six-axis KUKA robot that sliced foam blocks into complex shapes, "Explicit Bricks" built a compression-only structure.
Focused more on exploration than on a final "product," "Nonlinear Systems Biology and Design" merged parametric design and biological networks.
"High-Tech Design, Low-Tech Construction" assembled a "habitat" out of zip ties and two types of laser-cut wood tiles, precisely arranged.
Sewing machines were indispensable to the members of "Inflatable Fabric Envelopes," which explored various uses for dual-membrane structures.
"We made a radical shift this year," said Xavier De Kestelier, an associate partner in the London office of Foster + Partners and a longtime member of the SmartGeometry Group, to a roomful of journalists before leading a tour at the fabrication building of Barcelona's Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC).
Indeed, the racket on the far side of the door indicated that it was anything but business as usual for the workshop portion of the annual SmartGeometry Conference, which in previous years had consisted of small groups in hotel rooms, hunched over computers, discussing computational design.
Here, in a former toilet-manufacturing facility that is now part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Fab Lab network, students and nascent architects and engineers from around the globe were busy working in 10 clusters under the guidance of SmartGeometry Group members and leading lights in the computational design and fabrication world. (The SmartGeometry Group is a nine-year-old partnership between industry, academia, and practitioners that is focused on advancing the use of computational—aka parametric—design within architecture and engineering.)
The effort, said De Kestelier, was to give attendees, many of whom spend most of their time in front of computers or working on building-scale projects, some experience in the design, fabrication, and testing of working prototypes, the conference's theme. For four days—and with the help of laser cutters, CNC routers, sewing machines, hand tools, and more—people were converting algorithmic models into physical objects.
Walking around the IAAC, it was clear that the prototypes for some clusters—such as "Nonlinear Systems Biology and Design," led by architectural researcher Jenny Sabin and biologist Peter Lloyd Jones, recipients of a 2007 AIA Upjohn Research Initiative grant—were more abstract and conceptual than practical. Others, however—including "Explicit Bricks" (CNC-sliced blocks that, when laid in the right order, form an intricate, compression-only structure) and "Rapid R&D to Rapid Assembly" (snap-together architecture)—had more immediate implications for construction. The general din was punctuated every 15 to 20 minutes by a loud crash, followed by cheers, indicating that the "Design to Destruction" cluster had broken another laser-cut wood cantilever. Waving his hand around the IAAC space, SmartGeometry member Jonathan Rabagliati, whose day job is in the computational design department of Foster + Partners, said, "Everybody's learning."
The two-day conference that followed the workshop was broken into two parts. During "shop talk" day, rotating panels of SmartGeometry members, cluster leaders, and guests riffed on the "working prototypes" theme as it applied to such things as design education, sustainability, manufacturing, and practice. The day rounded out with the announcement that De Kestelier and Shane Burger, a New York–based associate at Grimshaw Architects, would become directors for the SmartGeometry Group. Although both have played increasingly integral roles for the group in recent years, the addition of new blood to the founding leadership of Lars Hesselgren (director of research, PLP Architecture), J Parrish (global practice leader for sports architecture, Arup Sport), and Hugh Whitehead (partner, Foster + Partners) suggests the future of the SmartGeometry Group could include more radical shifts.
The second day featured presentations by leading researchers and practitioners. Among them: Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology professor Mark Burry, a longtime consultant and researcher for Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, who described recent design and construction successes at Antonio Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece; and Enrico Dini, whose company, D_shape, is developing a method of printing full-scale buildings out of sand and inorganic binders.
During his scheduled end-of-event appearance, Huw Roberts, global marketing director, building, for software maker Bentley Systems (the event's premier sponsor), made the surprising announcement that Bentley's GenerativeComponents software—among the go-to tools for the SmartGeometry set—would now be available as a free, stand-alone download (generativecomponents.com). In other words: Let a thousand clusters bloom.

Noteworthy Talks
Engineer Hanif Kara's keynote focused on the financial and technical gaps he sees in the building industry. Fixing most, said the principal of Adams Kara Taylor, will require "heavy computer use." The engineer also offered the quote of the conference. Gesturing at the screen behind him, which showed Pritzker Prize laureates, Kara said, "I look forward to the day when we can replace one of these with a robot."
University of Bath professor Adrian Bowyer roused attendees with his energy, but it helped that he was discussing a 3D printer that can be put together for less than $500. The RepRap (reprap.org) is a desktop-friendly machine that fabricates objects up to 352 cubic inches in size. The RepRap can also make more than half of its own parts, so the cost goes down with each one you build.

At Night.
I love running, I have incredible stamina, I run quite quickly across beautiful open countryside, my stride is long and easy I seem to float across the ground on and on I run, mile after mile never tiring,I feel as though I could run for ever and never tire, the freedom I feel as I speed along is ecstatic, I have no destination I run simply for the joy and elation that I feel.
Then I wake, my wheelchair is still beside my bed and I am still Paralysed.
But hey that was a LOVELY dream :)
Dreams make things happen if only for a short moment!!! Didn't realize you were writing about a dream...had me on the edge of my sit there for a sec.
You know, I read this and couldn't help think that you DO run. Not with your legs but with you mind, in your writing and in your actions. Look at all the beauty you create with your gardening. Some folks run with their legs but they never seem to really get anywhere in their lives or thoughts. You're the opposite. You're legs are still but your mind and heart run like the wind, even in your dreams... You get to really AWESOME places. So I suppose in some ways...You're wayyy faster than many. *hugs*
Dreams are our hearts' wishes. I wish your heart's dream could come true.
Bittersweet. But a really lovely dream and well told story.

I did a double batch sparge with this recipe. Collected 6.5 gallons into the kettle and boiled down to about 5.25 gallon. Original thread can be found here. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/look...s-look-198133/
wow, 1043 > 1002 with a 152-154 mash with almost 8% crystal? looks good, low calorie, dry beer probably making you want more
Yea my jaw dropped when I saw it attenuated like that. Gonna check it against the next time I brew to make sure I read it right. But tasty none the less.
I actually changed the recipe a bit and am going to use Centennial for bittering, then adding 1oz of cascade for a week to dry hop. This actually raised the IBUs to about 43. Then I had this idea. Why don't I split the batch and add 1/2 oz of lightly toasted oak chips to half. Anyone have any idea how long I should let this sit? I know a lot of people say to taste, however I would like a starting point to work off of.
Just won third place in a local competition with this recipe out of 30 entries.

Suspects Wanted for Assault on a Public Servant
Pharr police and U.S. Custom agents are searching for two suspects they say hit a federal agent with a SUV at the Pharr International bridge.
Authorities are searching for 20 year-old Francisco Maravilla and Antonio Tellez who were driving a red Dodge Durango heading into Mexico on Wednesday afternoon. When the agent asked the driver to get out of the vehicle one of the suspects swung the door open striking the agent and then speeding off. Spikes on the bridge deflated the tires of the vehicle and the driver car jacked another vehicle to get away. Police do plan to charge the suspects with aggravated assault on a public servant and if you have any information on the suspects you are asked to call Pharr Crime Stoppers at (956) 787-8477.
