McLarens Lewis Hamilton has lost his pole position for Sundays Spanish Grand Prix after the stewards found his car did not have sufficient fuel onboard to comply with the rules on its return to parc ferme.
As a result of the decision, Williams Pastor Maldonado inherits pole for the Barcelona round, whilst Hamilton - excluded from the qualifying results - will start from the back of the grid.
The Briton stopped out on track at the end of Q3, after being told over his radio to pull over at the side of the circuit. There wasnt enough fuel in his MP4-27 to enable it to return under its own power to the pits and for the team to provide a one-litre fuel sample in post-qualifying scrutineering, as required by the sports technical regulations.
After a lengthy discussion, the FA stewards rejected McLarens case - put forward by team representative Sam Michael - that the car had stopped out on track due to reasons of force majeure.
"A team member had put an insufficient quantity of fuel into the car, thereby resulting in the car having to be stopped on the circuit in order to be able to provide the required amount for sampling purposes, explained the FA in a statement. As the amount of fuel put into the car is under the complete control of the competitor, the stewards cannot accept this as a case of force majeure.
"The Stewards determine that this is a breach of Article 6.6.2 of the FA Formula One Technical Regulations and the Competitor is accordingly excluded from the results of the Qualifying Session. The Competitor is however allowed to start the race from the back of the grid."

Test results for 10 small suitcases priced from $40 to $299.
Price is not always an indicator of quality when it comes to carry-on luggage. The cheapest model tested by CHOICE was slightly better for performance and better for ease of use than the most expensive case.
CHOICE purchased 10 suitcases that can be used as either check-in or carry-on luggage.
No one knows what can go wrong with a piece of carry-on luggage better than someone who spends their working lives using them. So CHOICE asked three airline cabin crew to help out in our test. They scored the suitcases on all aspects, such as:
Then, loaded with 5kg, each suitcase was taken around a course that included stairs, carpet, grass, smooth road and a rough surface. Our tester also subjected them to a stability, drop and puncture test to assess their performance. While all the suitcases on test are suitable for carry-on, two have total dimensions that exceed airline requirements (see what to look for). These slightly larger bags may still be acceptable as often you'll find cabin baggage isn't checked by airline staff. However if you're in doubt it's always a good idea to check with your airline before departure.
Generally the total dimensions range from 105cm to 115cm and this is measured by adding together the length, height and depth of the bag.
Performance: Our tester, Peter Horvath, conducts three technical tests to assess each suitcases performance:
Ease of use: Was assessed by three experienced airline cabin crew. They scored each suitcase on aspects like:
21 Jun 2007 | One long haul flight could cause the same or more greenhouse gas emissions per person than a whole year's electricity use in your home.
21 Jun 2011 | Most airlines do everything they can to limit their liability for any losses you encounter as a result of delays or cancellations. In some cases we think their terms and conditions wouldn't hold up if challenged.
23 Apr 2009 | CHOICE recommends you take a mix of cash and cards to cover expenses and provide a back-up plan. We tell you which companies provide the best products and rates.
30 Apr 2007 | Our investigation shows many consumers were charged more for overseas transactions than the fees disclosed on their statements suggested.
14 Mar 2010 | CHOICE's recent survey of nearly 9000 respondents who had flown in the past three years. We give you the top reasons for selecting an airline.
28 Apr 2011 | Locks, straps, cable ties or shrink wrap? CHOICE runs through the options.

if the woman's face is unrecognizable I don't see why they care
Officers charged Yoshio Hagiwara, 53, with violating a public nuisance ordinance. He has reportedly admitted to the allegations.
Time was, Nikkan Gendai (Apr. 16), voyeurs utilized highly specialized equipment in pursuing peeping for pleasure. But nowadays most perverts are preferring smartphones.
"The small size of the smartphone is desirable," says an expert in the field. "It fits comfortably in the palm of the hand. People will not know you have a smartphone with a simple glance."
For trains, seats near the door are desired. "You target girls in miniskirts," says the aforementioned source. "With the shutter sound turned off, the women do not realize they are being photographed."
Hiding a camera inside a shoe, slipper or sandal and triggering the shutter with a cordless remote control is another option.
In March, a 25-year-old middle school lecturer in Kyoto was arrested for photographing inside the skirt of a third year student during class. The month before that, a police sergeant in Kagawa Prefecture was charged with taking similar photos of a female at his workplace on more than 20 occasions. In both cases, the camera was hidden in footwear.
Of course, this method can be applied to a congested commuter train as well. It is a matter of placing the camera behind the target and using the leg of another commuter as a shield.
"With her looking the other way, she won't notice a thing," says the aforementioned insider. (A.T.)

@M Fox I just can't at your comment. Show some respect for someone's personal space and private sphere, perhaps? Women (and any person for that matter) are not some faceless objects for you to get off on.
Yes they are

Rihanna's tour bus was reportedly stopped between the Michigan and Canadian border and some pot was allegedly found on one of the buses! Is RiRi in trouble?
Rihanna's alleged love for smoking weed may have finally caught up with her. The singer's 10 tour buses were stopped on the Ambassador Bridge and authorities searched the vehicles — uh oh!
Rihanna's Tour Buses Hit Pot Hole — Will She Go To Jail?
TMZ says that although the tour buses were stopped, Rihanna wasn't onboard — phew! But drug dogs came on the bus and found a man who allegedly had a "small amount" of marijuana found on him. The man in questions wasn't arrested but he was reportedly cited with a civil penalty.
Rihanna Reveals Why She Smokes Pot
She told Elle UK: "I'm posting pictures of myself smoking pot to tell the truth about myself. I've got so much to think about, why bring all this extra s**t by being dishonest?"
She added: "Well, I Instagram everything about my life, whether it's smoking pot, in a strip club, reading a Bible verse — how crazy, I know! — or hanging out with my best friend, who happens to be Chris [Brown]."
Do you think that Rihanna needs to stop smoking pot? The singer constantly posts pics and brags about how much she loves doing it and even sports t-shirts supporting her habit. But what if she had been on the bus and the alleged marijuana was found on her? She could get into some serious trouble and it could hurt her career!
Rihanna needs to tell her team to be careful so that things like this don't happen, especially when crossing the border!

I don't see nothing wrong with smoking marijuana there is way worse things out there that people are doing like sizzurp ,ecstasy ,crack ,alcohol etc… these days marijuana is legalized so I don't know why they try to make a big deal out of it! It really doesn't matter what we think it's up to her to do what you want to do she's GROWN and it's nothing that we can say or do to make her or anyone else stop doing drugs or marijuana.

Three races in and already this season is proving just as exciting and unpredictable as 2007. Three different drivers have clinched victories, weve seen a new face on the podium in Nico Rosberg, and two Formula One rookies - Kazuki Nakajima and Sebastien Bourdais - have scored points. By contrast, some of the grids most-experienced stalwarts - Rubens Barrichello and David Coulthard - are yet to get off the mark.
But true performance can only be judged relative to your team mate - we take stock on how the rivalries within each squad are progressing and assess which drivers have gained the edge and which have been left behind
BMW Sauber - Nick Heidfeld v Robert Kubica
Qualifying: Kubica (3-0)
Race: Kubica (2-1) Kubica retired in Australia
Points: Heidfeld 16, Kubica 14
BMW Saubers third Formula One season could not have got off to a better start. Not only are the team currently leading the constructors championship, but one of their drivers has finished on the podium at each Grand Prix. And following his bittersweet 2007, it seems the leaner - and even a little meaner - Robert Kubica is so far setting the standard. Having finally adjusted to the Bridgestone tyres, he has outpaced Nick Heidfeld in qualifying, even giving the team their first-ever pole at Bahrain, and clinched two podium finishes. If Kubicas retirement in Australia is taken into account, however, it is Heidfeld who has been the more consistent of the pair. And having scored points in every race, the German is just three adrift of current drivers standings leader Kimi Raikkonen.
What next? With the F1.08 possessing race-winning potential, the stakes at BMW Sauber are now even higher. Both drivers have the talent to do the car justice, but will Heidfelds experience or Kubicas ambition win the day? Watch this space...
Ferrari - Kimi Raikkonen v Felipe Massa
Qualifying: Massa (3-0)
Race: Raikkonen (2-1) Massa retired in Australia and Malaysia
Points: Raikkonen 19, Massa 10
Last season Kimi Raikkonen proved he was quite capable of filling Michael Schumachers shoes at Ferrari and with his first title in the bag, he started 2008 as favourite for a second. No one doubted the F2008 would be quick but after showing his mastery in Malaysia and taking the lead in the drivers standings, Raikkonen has confirmed he has lost none of his vigour and ambition. In qualifying, however, it is team mate Felipe Massa who has shone and in Malaysia the Brazilian scored Ferraris only 2008 pole to date. Despite this qualifying prowess, however, the races have been much tougher for the Brazilian. Hamstrung first by an engine problem in Melbourne and then by a driver error in Malaysia, Massa was in dire straits, with not a point to his name. But in Bahrain, the 26 year-old finally managed to claw back some points, leading his team mate home, after a dominant win at the Sakhir circuit.
What next? With just three races complete, Massa is back in the hunt with everything to play for, though he will have to work hard if he is to curb Raikkonens advantage.
McLaren - Lewis Hamilton v Heikki Kovalainen
Qualifying: Hamilton (2-1)
Race: Kovalainen (2-1)
Points: Hamilton 14, Kovalainen 14
Of all the driver line-ups on the grid, it is McLarens which has drawn the most speculation. After last seasons disastrous Lewis Hamilton/FernandoAlonso pairing, the British team called on the services of cool-headed Finn Heikki Kovalainen to soothe things - and so far the youthful duo seems to be working well together. With a new cohort, Hamilton changed from 2007s young upstart to 2008s unofficial team leader virtually overnight and with the MP4-23 looking strong, he was quickly able to dominate in Melbourne. But it was only an unfortunately-timed safety car period that stopped fifth-placed Kovalainen from making more of an impression in Australia and since then he has challenged Hamilton every step of the way. And while in qualifying Hamilton may still have the edge, under race conditions Kovalainen has proved hes more than a match for the increasingly mistake-prone young Briton. A win may still be outstanding but the Finns consistency, in Bahrain in particular, has paid dividends and the McLaren drivers are currently level pegging on points.
What next? McLarens 2008 challenge took a turn for the worse in Bahrain, the team losing the lead in both championships. Both drivers will need to pool their resources to get the squad back on track before they can hope to profit personally from an improved MP4-23. The victor of this battle remains very much undecided.
Williams - Nico Rosberg v Kazuki Nakajima
Qualifying: Rosberg (3-0)
Race: Rosberg (3-0)
Points: Rosberg 7, Nakajima 3
For the past two seasons, Nico Rosberg has been Williams star turn. The squad know it. Team mate Kazuki Nakajima knows it. And, so far this season, the score board proves it. Rookie Nakajima was drafted in as a replacement for Alexander Wurz at the end of 2007, but right from the start the more seasoned German driver became defacto team leader. And its clearly a role the 22 year-old has relished, outpacing Nakajima in every qualifying session and outperforming him in every race. But Rosbergs successes (including his podium in Australia) shouldnt belittle Nakajimas achievements. The 23 year-old Toyota protege has enjoyed several mature performances over the last three events, even keeping a cool-head in the dramatic Australian race to pick up three points. If his spin in Malaysia and poor start in Bahrain are anything to go by, hes still learning the ropes, but he has the potential to occasionally upset the apple cart.
What next? Theres no denying Rosbergs talent and if the FW30 regains its Australian form, more podiums for the German could follow. Nakajima, meanwhile, should continue to flourish under his team mates wings and bag a few more points in the process.
Toyota - Jarno Trulli v Timo Glock
Qualifying: Trulli (3-0)
Race: Trulli (2-0) Trulli and Glock retired in Australia
Points: Trulli 8, Glock 0
Toyota started the season hungry to finally prove their Formula One potential. Ditching Ralf Schumacher, the Japanese team hired former Jordan racer Timo Glock to fill his shoes, while retaining veteran racer Jarno Trulli. And it seems shaking up the line-up has provoked a positive response from Trulli. Qualifying has always been one of the 33 year-olds strengths, but so far this year hes outdone himself, with three top-seven grid slots. In races too, hes not disappointed, with his unfortunate retirement in Melbourne matched by smooth and hard-fought runs in Malaysia and Bahrain. For Glock, meanwhile, matters have been much more hit and miss. From his dramatic accident in Melbourne to his collision with Rosberg in Malaysia, his reintroduction to Formula One racing has been unlucky to say the least. But there have been real signs of promise. He has made Q3 twice and only a gearbox glitch prevented a potential point-scoring run in Bahrain, where he did a great job of keeping Renaults Fernando Alonso at bay.
What next? With the TF108 definitely stronger than its predecessor, the Toyota duo have the potential to impress and in time expect Glock to challenge Trulli all the more.

Here we are with day three's question…
How do you feel about starting new projects?
Well let "jump" right into this one.
I normally have a hard time with change aka new. Almost all types of change. Me, I mull it over for a while, thinking "Ah" I've made my decision and then bam! I decide I just might need to reconsider this problem a little longer.
I also do not like being asked/invited someplace at the last-minute. I mean really? You've know you were going to have "said" get together or a trip to the movies for how long and you are just now asking me, 30 minutes before time to go. No.
I like things to run smoothly and stay in my normal/comfort level. I like for everything in it's "correct" place in my home, car. I'll admit I have OCD and well items being in their proper place is one of the big items I struggle with. Like my closet. All my cloths are separate. Shirts, pants etc. But, it does not stop there. Next they're separated by seasons. Summer at one end of my closet and winter the other. Good/dress cloths are separate from work cloths. Trust me when I say you do not want to get me started on my rhyme or reason also why I do the things I do. I just do. I'm good with it but others… well not always so much. Second is when I want something done. That normally means soon and on time. Oh and let's add done the right way the first time.
As my grandmother would say. I'm a goose. Geese are set in their ways.
Summing it up. I'm really not big on change so new projects that have to do with my everyday life. I over think it every-time.
Working on my blog, starting new projects. I LOVE. I always get super excited! I love this job and it has been a challenge during the past year but, in the end. I still love my job!
Now it's your turn. How do you feel about starting new projects?

Divide the cake batter evenly among the ramekins and tightly cover each with aluminum foil. Transfer the ramekins to the prepared pan. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil, increase heat to medium, and steam for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pan from heat, remove lid and foil, and cover with a damp cloth. Cool to room temperature and remove cakes from ramekins. Combine the berries, liqueur, remaining lemon juice, 1/4 cup sugar, and ginger and lightly mash. Let the mixture stand until the berry juices begin to release -- about 30 minutes. Spoon berries and their juice over cakes and serve.

Joining the Iowa Law Review
Because the Iowa Law Review is among the top fifteen most-cited American legal publications for student notes, writing for the Law Review is among the most challenging but rewarding experiences available to students at the University of Iowa College of Law. Among the benefits of joining the Law Review are:
- Substantive Projects. Students writing for the Law Review perform substantive tasks critical to producing a top-notch legal publication. We publish five issues per year—more than any other journal at the law school—which allows student writers ample opportunity to edit works by both students and professional writers.
- Get Published. Each year, the Law Review publishes roughly twenty student notes from our writers.
- Sharpen Your Legal Skills. Student writers come away with comprehensive legal research experience, the ability to analyze complex legal issues with enhanced critical-reasoning skills, and a firm command of The Bluebook citation system, a standard in the legal community.
- Build Marketability. Competitive employers, both public and private, understand that Law Review experience is a sign of a student who shows initiative, patience, and legal ability. The Law Review also sees many of its alums go on to state and federal clerkships.
- Write About Anything. The Law Review is the only journal that accepts student-written notes on any legal topic.
Rising second-year students who have at least two years remaining until they complete their law degree and are interested in writing for the Law Review shall participate in a Write-On Competition, which is conducted after final exams in the spring semester. The Law Review selects its student writers based solely on the Write-On Competition. Students transferring to the University of Iowa College of Law after their first year are also eligible to participate in the Competition.
The Write-On Competition typically includes the following components:
- Comment. Write a closed-universe comment on a recent case.
- Bluebook Exercise. Edit an excerpt from a student note for Bluebook compliance, style, grammar, and spelling.
- Personal Statement. Write a short essay that will help us get to know you and what sets you apart.
The Law Review usually accepts between thirty-six and forty student writers. Applications are graded anonymously, and past applications are on reserve in the Iowa Law Library.

Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
Diets of canvasbacks breeding on Ruby Lake, Nevada, varied with stage of reproduction (Noyes and Jarvis 1985). Plant material comprised more than 90% of the diet of prelaying canvasbacks on Ruby Lake (Noyes and Jarvis 1985), which was more similar to the diet of migrating canvasbacks in North Dakota than to the diets of first arrival canvasbacks (Barzen and Korschgen, unpubl. ms.), or of prenesting or RFG birds in Minnedosa. Differences in prelaying diets between the two areas may result in part from differences in migration chronology and foraging opportunities. Unlike canvasbacks moving through the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways to southern Manitoba, canvasbacks migrating to Ruby Lake in spring have a shorter migration and few foraging opportunities between their wintering area and Ruby Lake. Also, canvasbacks at Ruby Lake have a longer interval between arrival and nesting (Noyes 1983, Austin and Serie, unpubl. data) in which to feed and build up energy reserves. Lack of information on yearly and seasonal availability of invertebrate and plant foods limits direct comparisons of food use versus availability among studies.
Canvasbacks breeding in the prairie pothole region shift from plant material during spring migration to increased proportions of animal foods during breeding. Spring migrants on the Missouri coteau and drift prairie of North Dakota consumed only plant foods, primarily pondweed tubers (Barzen and Korschgen, unpubl. ms.). Canvasbacks collected soon after arrival at Erickson, Manitoba (35 km north of Minnedosa), consumed more plant food (primarily pondweed tubers [53% of the diet]) than animal foods (38% animal material, exclusively midges) (Barzen and Korschgen, unpubl. ms.). Diets of prenesting birds at Erickson (Barzen and Korschgen, unpubl. ms.) and Minnedosa (this study) were similar. Our results indicate that the volume of animal foods in the diet did not continue to increase after arrival on the breeding grounds.
Continued importance of plant foods to female canvasbacks throughout reproduction contrast with the mostly invertebrate diets of other prairie-breeding ducks, and does not fit current theories of nutritional ecology for breeding anatids, i.e., that female ducks meet the protein requirements of reproduction by consuming a high proportion of animal (proteinaceous) foods (Krapu and Reinecke, in press). Lack of a large increase in animal foods in the diet and lack of changes in protein reserves during reproduction (Barzen and Serie 1990) suggest that canvasback females were able to obtain sufficient protein from their diet of pondweed tubers and invertebrates. Pondweed tubers are high in metabolizable energy and, relative to other plant foods, high in protein and low in fiber (Sugden 1973, Anderson and Low 1976). Consumption of tubers by females also may serve to offset energy costs of incubation or renesting. Because of the nutritional value of pondweeds and their importance to canvasbacks during breeding and migration, management of breeding canvasbacks must consider production and distribution of pondweed tubers as well as that of invertebrates.

Weekday Cassoulet is by far my favorite. I have cooked it 6 or 7 times since the show it was featured on was broadcast. Making it also inspired me to cook the traditional cassoulet to compare the flavors. What was amazing is how similar the tastes were and Melissa's required one tenth of the time and work and of course her's was a lot less expensive. The recipe is here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabi…
We make her Crispy Skinned Chicken a L'orange at least once a month (and her perfect crispy potatoes at least twice a month). Just can't get enough of it!
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabi… -
My favorite is the Salt Roasted Potatoes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabi…
Comfort food! -
We love Melissa's perfect crispy potatoes. They are easy to make and everyone in the family eats them and loves them. French fries, yes, the kids will eat. "Potatoes", no. So this is something we all agree on.
My favorite of Melissa's recipes is her Lentil Quinoa Salad (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/lentil-quinoa-salad-recipe/index.html) because it combines two of my favorite healthy ingredients – lentils & quinoa!
Smashed Black Beans. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabi…
They are great when I make Mexican food for dinner, a great side dish! -
One of my favorite go to recipes is four step chicken. I have made it a variety of ways. Here is one .http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian//4-step-chicken-marengo-recipe/index.html. Love to make it 5-minute individual potato gratins, another of her recipes
Magic Fruit-and-Veggie Cupcakes. Love to bake so always on a hunt for recipes that make it more healthy.
I saw Melissa make these on an episode last week, and I plan to try them this coming weekend! Melissa always makes fancy looking food easy!
Our favorite is the Lemon Tea Cake (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/lemon-tea-cake-recipe/index.html) because, while we LOVE many of Melissa's other recipes, this is one our 8 yr old daughter can read and make (almost) all by herself. She made this and decorated it for Easter. We think Melissa would be proud of her fellow little Texas girl that loves to cook!

OFF THE HOOK, Scene #05
Scene Info
OFF THE HOOK, Scene #05
Meanwhile, back at the office co-workers Lucas Knight and Hunter Page have spent most of a slow afternoon at work checking out hot guys online and fantasizing about hot sex. Worked up and rock hard they turn their lustful attention on each other, stroking their bulges and licking their lips with hungry eye contact. Sitting across from each they lower their pants, showing off and stroking their monster cocks for each other. Lucas breaks the tension and hits to his knees, slurping and sucking Hunter's big piece of boy-meat. Stripping off the last of their clothes they daringly indulge in a mutual suck-fest right in the middle of the office. Hunter's deep throated servicing has Lucas moaning with pleasure.
The excitement of sucking cock in the office has both guys so turned on that their boy-loads cum gushing. Hunter leans back in his office chair and spills a thick load high on his chest. Lucas is right there with him as he fires off a drenching shot of steamy hot cum... and then another... and then another, spraying several impressive shots of dick juice as the sexual tension washes away in a river of nut-busting cum.

The first movie under John Rutherford's direction at COLT studio, after purchasing the studio in 2003, was
RELOAD. Making a hardcore COLT Movie of this quality certainly required some dexterity. The production
had its challenges due to the underwater sex sequence involving Marcus Iron and Rob Romoni. Rutherford
wanted to push the boundaries with the ways viewers got to look at COLT Men by staging innovative shots
of underwater penetration. Award-winning videographer, Todd Montgomery, used an underwater camera
to capture the scenes up close far before anyone else in the industry was doing it at the time. The scenes
were seen up close and the performers were very excited to try something new. The COLT Movie
RELOAD and its underwater scene will be one to remember.
The mood on the COLT Movie set was overall very positive, as each of the guys knew they were making
history and helping to take COLT Studio in a great new direction for the new owners. Of course, having
the opportunity to participate in so much man-on-man action, with a group of muscular men, was also an
incentive to do great work on the set.

Back to Schoolby Brandon LacySeptember 1996 |
As August rolls to an end, and September begins, millions of children, teenagers, and young adults will be returning to school, and with them will be returning a multitude of hopes, dreams, and fears.
The beginning of this school year, though, carries with it a special and new hope. A hope that if homophobia can not be ended in schools and college's across the countries, it can be at least fought on a legal ground. With the decision in favor of Jamie Nabozny, the Ashland, Wisconsin student -- and recent resident of my home town, Minneapolis -- gay and lesbian students now have the right to sue their schools if they do not take appropriate action to stop homophobic attacks.
The implications of this decision on a legal scale are being delved into by legal scholars across the country, but the true research should be done into how this will effect young gays and lesbians in their efforts to come out.
Coming out seems to be the number one thing that gay and lesbians can do to tell the world that we are everywhere, in every society, in every station of life. As more and more students come out, the longer the school societies, and society in general will have to get used to, tolerate, and finally accept that homosexuality is a natural part of the world.
August and September are special months for me. This September marks the one year anniversary of my coming out. Since my coming out last year I have not only thrown wide the doors of my personal closet, but I have been able, through example, to help others come out of their personal closets. I have been able to finally openly fight the number one thing that I hate, ignorance.
My coming out has been smooth sailing for the most part, until recently, and that story can be found in the August edition of Oasis, under the coming out section. I have found a strength in myself that I did not know I possessed. I have had a 110% turn around in my self-esteem, and in my feeling of self-worth. Coming out has been the single greatest thing that has happened in my life. If only it could have happened earlier.
It's true, each and every year men and women are coming out at an earlier and earlier age, and as legislation favoring equal status for gays and lesbians piles up, there may come a time when the necessity for coming out may vanish. But legislation will never be enough. It takes a change in attitudes, and a change in the way people think, to make coming out unnecessary. And it will take effort from both sides of the gay/straight line.
We need to support each other, our straight allies, and our gay friends. We need to understand and recognize that we can not demand acceptance, but we do not have to accept plain tolerance. We need to understand that we are all human, gay and straight. As bad as it is for the straight majority to deny us basic rights as citizens of the United States, i.e. DOMA, so is it equally reprehensible for us to turn on ourselves, such as the outing of Rep. Kolbe (R-AZ), by the gay media. (A note here, I do not agree with his voting in favor of DOMA, but I do disagree with the outing, and at the same time I am pleased that there is another member of Congress who is out, and able to work visibly for our cause, human rights.)
So, on this one year anniversary of my coming out, I look toward school and classes, with renewed hope and fervor, and the dream that one day there will be liberty and justice for all.

The above is real, live data from a one week period for my home LAN. Much of the above would seem to be specifically targeted at Linux systems. Many of the targeted "destination" ports are used by well known Linux and Unix services, and all may be installed, and possibly even running, on your system.
The focus here will be on threats that are shared by all Linux users, whether a dual boot home user, or large commercial site. And we will take a few, relatively quick and easy steps that will make a typical home Desktop system or small office system running Linux reasonably safe from the majority of outside threats. For those responsible for Linux systems in a larger or more complex environment, you'd be well advised to read this, and then follow up with additional reading suitable to your particular situation. Actually, this is probably good advice for everybody.
We will assume the reader knows little about Linux, networking, TCP/IP, and the finer points of running a server Operating System like Linux. We will also assume, for the sake of this document, that all local users are "trusted" users, and won't address physical or local network security issues in any detail. Again, if this is not the case, further reading is strongly recommended.
The principles that will guide us in our quest are:
There is no magic bullet. There is no one single thing we can do to make us secure. It is not that simple.
Security is a process that requires maintenance, not an objective to be reached.
There is no 100% safe program, package or distribution. Just varying degrees of insecurity.
The steps we will be taking to get there are:
Step 1: Turn off, and perhaps uninstall, any and all unnecessary services.
Step 2: Make sure that any services that are installed are updated and patched to the current, safe version -- and then stay that way. Every server application has potential exploits. Some have just not been found yet.
Step 3: Limit connections to us from outside sources by implementing a firewall and/or other restrictive policies. The goal is to allow only the minimum traffic necessary for whatever our individual situation may be.
Awareness. Know your system, and how to properly maintain and secure it. New vulnerabilities are found, and exploited, all the time. Today's secure system may have tomorrow's as yet unfound weaknesses.
If you don't have time to read everything, concentrate on Steps 1, 2, and 3. This is where the meat of the subject matter is. The Appendix has a lot of supporting information, which may be helpful, but may not be necessary for all readers.

Ultra Mirage™ Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear |
Get mask wipes for just 1¢ more when you add this item to your cart.
The Ultra Mirage™ Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear is a great solution for CPAP user who have frequent nasal congestion. Or, it can be useful to have on hand in case of a cold or bothersome allergies. The Ultra Mirage Full Face Mask cushion has a dual wall design to offer a reliable seal.
Manufactured by ResMed.
3% of Full Face Mask product buyers choose this product.
4.3 of 5 400 Reviews
Yes. The same cushion is used for the Ultra Mirage and the Ultra Mirage II mask frame. The cushions and mask frames are interchangeable.
We work very hard to provide many different ways for our customers to compare products. Here are the machine product guides we have created and maintain:
Yes, we created a Help Me Choose guide to help you select the right mask or machine according to your preferences. The guide asks you a series of questions regarding your preferences and your facial features. Based on your answers we provide you with a comparison chart of the masks that meet your criteria. Get started here:
Help Me Choose - Mask
Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine and/or humidifier.
We provide many easy ways to get your prescription:
Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months, and a complete mask system replacement every six (6) months. CPAP manufacturers and vendors suggest these replacement schedules as well.
In our experience, most mask cushions begin to deteriorate after about six months of use. The cushion eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal. The headgear straps lose elasticity and must be tightened more and more to get the same quality seal.
We strongly suggest replacing cushions and pillows as soon as they start to soften. Air leaks may reduce the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and headgear that is too tight may cause facial sores at pressure points. In most cases, replacement headgear is available if it is stretched out or the Velcro worn out.
To see what parts of your mask are replaceable refer to our Replacement Part Finder. Just search for your mask to see all of the replaceable parts.
Masks should be washed daily with warm water using a very gentle soap or baby shampoo, and left to air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask cushion. Avoid soaps that include lotion which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember, going to bed with a clean face will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
The best time to clean your mask is in the morning after use. This removes the oils left behind from your skin which can reduce the lifespan of your mask. We recommend using mask wipes to make daily morning cleaning easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.
A mask prescription must contain all of the following information:
If your mouth drops open during sleep, a full face may be selected to allow for the CPAP airflow to be delivered through both the nose and mouth.
Some CPAP users move to using a full face mask after finding that using a nasal mask along with a chinstrap does not meet their sleep therapy needs. Some CPAP users use a full face mask when suffering from seasonal allergies.

The YSR Congress activists gave a grand reception to their leader Y.S. Sharmila at Atmakur in Nellore district here on Sunday. She condemned the attacks on the Seemandhra advocates and employees who went to take part in Saturday's 'Save Andhra Pradesh' meeting held at Lal Bahadur Stadium in Hyderabad.
Expressing concern over the likely fallout of bifurcation, Ms. Sharmila wondered whether Seemandhra people would be asked to show passports and take permissions to visit the State capital once Andhra Pradesh is divided.
Addressing an impressive gathering at Atmakur and Buchireddypalem during the day, Ms. Sharmila said that the Seemandhra advocates were attacked at the High Court premises. "If this is the situation now, what would be the plight of Seemandhra people after bifurcation? Haven't they contributed to the development of Hyderabad?" she asked.
She questioned the Congress Central leadership whether it would be possible to build a metropolitan city such as Hyderabad in a period of just 10 years. People were being pushed into a needless crisis due to the Congress' eagerness to take political advantage by bifurcating the State, she added.
She blamed both the Congress and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for what she described as their clever game plan to win more votes and seats in the 2014 elections by creating a rift between the people of the two regions in the State. "It has caused severe hardship to people, from whom Madras was taken away and now Hyderabad is being snatched away," she lamented.

EUGENE, Ore. — Fire season is just around the corner. There is no date set for the season this year, but the Oregon Department of Forestry will start training firefighter next week. The ban on backyard burning also begins next week, on June 16th.
ODF is already warning people to be cautious. The latest report on the wildland fire potential doesn't look great.
"There's a lot of green up out there and that stuff will turn," said Brian Dally, a wildland fire supervisor. "Especially if we are going into a much drier than normal season, that's just added fuel, which when it cures, will fuel a wildfire."
There is also a new law in effect that prohibits the use of exploding targets and tracer ammunition during fire season. A violation could cost at least 435 dollars.

Airport News
Heathrow Airport hosts pre-emptive carnival events
Fri, 27 Aug, 2010
London's Heathrow Airport is set to host this year's Notting Hill Carnival premiere at its Terminal 5 building.
Visitors to the airport can expect to see a specially made exhibition by artist Carl Gabriel, which will be open until the end of August.
There will be a host of performers and steel bands on show at Terminal 5, which expects a share of the predicted 840,000 passengers travelling through the airport over the upcoming bank holiday weekend.
Spokesman for airport owners BAA Malcolm Robertson expressed his hopes that passengers would experience a "lively and colourful" welcome.
He said: "We want to provide passengers with an immediate sense that they have landed in London, and bringing the Notting Hill Carnival to international arrivals is one way of doing that."
The announcement comes after last week saw the airport launch British Food Week, which showed some of the nation's favourite foods stocked at its restaurants and bars.

A Safety Net for Six Feet Under
Apparently, nowadays people are more concerned with being off the grid than starving to death if they're buried alive. Now you can buy a coffin-ready PC to make sure you can stay connected. The article has a photo of one installed in a coffin.
I'd certainly like to read the Facebook status written by that person when they wake up.
Thanks to Barry for the tip.

The TV show THRILLER, hosted by Boris Karloff, recently was released in a dvd box set. One episode deals with this subject, titled "The Premature Burial". A man is afraid of being buried while he is in a coma so he builds a coffin with a spring that he can operate to open the casket. In addition he leaves instructions that he is not to be buried but to be put in a mausoleum. He has bracelets that state that he is not to be buried, etc. He also has food put in the tomb and a bell to ring. Unfortunaely he also has a wife who hates him, so you can imagine the complications.
Pulp collectors would not want a pc in the coffin. How about a set of WEIRD TALES to keep you company? - October 29, 2010 at 9:59 AM

The pulps would make good insulation for those cold cemetery nights also, Thanks for the suggestion Walker.
Didn't Roger Corman do Poe's "The Premature Burial" as a film?
I tried to rent a copy of "Comedy of Terrors" from Netflix with Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone and Boris Karloff but they did not have it. Kinda pricey to buy. What is my memories of it aren't so good. - October 29, 2010 at 10:50 AM

Premature Burials are a fear of my chilhood, to tell the truth. And i don't know why!

I thought right away of the Dutch film THE VANISHING (1988), remade I believe in Hollywood in 1993 with Jeff Bridges and Kiefer Sutherland.

Nowadays, embalming pretty well erases any fear of being buried alive.

The name Heavenly Acres Campground says it all. A family-friendly, resort quality campground in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Stanardsville, Virginia, we are centrally located near I-64, I-6 and I-95, off of Hwy 29. Our 80 acres of wooded campground provide fresh air and first class amenities that make the campground a favorite destination for many. A large swimming pool, horseback riding and a game room keep campers busy on-site and a convenient online reservations system helps you plan your vacation with ease.Nature lovers can find paradise fishing in the mountain creeks that wind throughout the property, and the area trails make mountain biking and hiking a joy. The Shenandoah National Park lies in close proximity to the camp as well, with over 500 miles of trails, including over 100 miles of the famous Appalachian Trail. The Skyline Drive, a 105 mile section of road that runs the length of the national park, gives travelers the perfect opportunity to see the spectacular mountain vistas that are spread throughout the region. For a true taste of American history, a visit to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello must be on the agenda. Designed, redesigned, built and rebuilt over the course of forty years, this masterpiece of architecture is open for tours throughout the year, with Michie Tavern, another historic landmark circa 1784, located on a mountainside near Monticello. Whether shopping in the quaint towns, exploring the historical sites or communing with nature, the Heavenly Acres Campground is the ideal spot for a mountain vacation to remember.

$999,999,999 to $0
Embark the vessel, and settle, meet your Expedition Team and enjoy the first of many memorable meals on board.
Some of the most spectacular landscapes in the islands come into view just off the coast of Santiago. Bartolome boasts some of the most magnificent landscapes in the islands including the famous Pinnacle Rock, a towering obelisk at the edge of the ocean. Go snorkeling or take a walk along the beach to look for the playful Galápagos Penguin, perched on a rock or zooming underwater.
Beautiful Espumilla Beach is an important nesting site for the East Pacific Green Sea Turtle. Walk through the arid vegetation zone of the interior to see the largest Palo Santo trees in the Galápagos, the perfect habitat for several species of Darwin's finches.
Five majestic shield volcanoes up to half-a-million years old pierce the arid landscape of Isabela, the largest and youngest island in the Galápagos. Enjoy some of the best snorkeling in the islands at Punta Vicente Roca, located at the base of Ecuador Volcano. Ancient eruptions have carved away half of the volcano to reveal a spectacular view of the caldera. Board a Zodiac and look for an array of seabirds including Flightless Cormorants and penguins.
The largest colony of marine iguanas in the Galápagos can be seen sunning on the black lava shores of Punta Espinoza at the north-eastern corner of Fernandina. One of the most pristine islands in the world, experience Fernandina's impressive array of wildlife including sea lions, colorful Sally Light-Foot Crabs and the rare endemic Flightless Cormorant.
A short voyage across the Bolivar Strait is Tagus Cove on Isabela Island. Observe Yellow Warblers and Galápagos Mockingbirds that may escort your hike passing Darwin's Crater Lake along the way. In the water, snorkel to look for penguins, cormorants and the shy Brown Noddy Tern along the sheltered cliffs.
Experience the tallest red mangrove trees in the Galápagos found at Elizabeth Bay, an idyllic lagoon and fascinating place to observe marine life. Take a Zodiac ride through the mangroves where sea turtles swim close to the surface, and pelicans and herons stalk for fish. Watch for sea lions and penguins as they glide through the waters of this marine sanctuary.
Luring visitors since the 18th century when whalers hunted the island for tortoises and pirates sought shelter in its caves, a rustic mailing system was established. A barrel nailed to a pole where they would drop letters in the hopes that they would be delivered by other mariners sailing home. Continue the tradition and then take a walk along the lovely beach, or go snorkeling in an underwater world as colorful as Floreana's history.
Explore Punta Cormorán's olivine beaches, deciduous vegetation and pink flamingos, one of the most interesting sites in the islands. Learn about the formation of beaches as you land on the olive-green sand and walk to a favorite nesting site for Green Sea Turtles.
Discover the Galápagos Giant Tortoise and their babies, and learn more about current conservation efforts at the Galapaguera Cerro Colorado. Breeding and rearing endemic animals in captivity is part of a much broader conservation program aimed at restoring and protecting the Galapagos Islands' natural biodiversity.
This afternoon you can swim, snorkel or kayak with sea lions and marine iguanas right from Cerro Brujo, a breathtaking white coral beach. It's a haven for bird watching, too.
The second largest island in the archipelago is home to both the largest human settlement and the second largest wild tortoise population. Visit Los Gemelos, two pit craters (similar to sink holes) in the midst of a forest of tall Scalesia trees that look like giant daisies and are endemic to the Galápagos. Here there's a good chance to spot land birds, especially Darwin's Finches.
Tortoises in the Galápagos occur in two different forms: dome-shaped and saddle-backed. The smaller saddle-back tortoise was hunted virtually to extinction and just a handful of survivors remain. The Charles Darwin Research Station gives you the opportunity to see both the domed tortoise and the iconic saddleback tortoise after which the islands were named, as Galápagos means "saddle" in old Castilian.

Watch The Middle
Axl excels at sports, but struggles during school, while Sue is a loveable nerd who constantly attempts to fit in at school by trying out for every activity. She once made the cross-county team and later created a cheerleading squad for the wrestling team. Brick is the youngest son, and he prefers to read instead of socializing with children his age. He has a quirky habit of repeating his comments in a whisper.
The character of Frankie is portrayed by actress Patricia Heaton. She is the main character as the audience hears her personal narration. Frankie's devotion to her family is crucial to the show, and during most episodes, she is balancing her busy life. She worries about Brick fitting in at school and enrolls him into a social class, and she never misses an event in her children's lives such as Sue passing the finish line during a cross-country race or Axl winning a basketball game.
Actor Neil Flynn plays the character of Mike Heck. He is the calm parent of the family, although he has his moments of stress, such as when Frankie makes him sign up as a volunteer at Brick's school. Charlie McDermott portrays the character of Axl and Eden Sher depicts Sue. Actor Atticus Shaffer won the role of Brick.
The Heck family lives in a rundown single family home that retains numerous style elements from the 1960s and '70s. Frankie is often too busy to clean the home or cook for her family. In fact, Frankie typically brings dinner home from a fast food restaurant.
When Frankie decides that the family is going to enjoy a meal together, viewers discover that that Frankie and Mike never purchased a dining room chair for Brick to sit in at the kitchen table. Instead, he must use a lawn chair to participate in the family dinner.
Frankie and Mike face numerous financial problems, but somehow they manage to keep food on the table and a place for their family to live.
The Middle is a show that humorously depicts the struggles of today's middle-class families, and it allows viewers to laugh at the trials their own families face.
