When news came that one of the most memorable Southern characters had passed from this world, I found myself musing back on the color, interest, and myriad conflicts he brought to the world around him.
He was not boring. Not ever. And that, my friend, is the boldest mark of a fabulous character. Southern or not.
Actually, I read his obituary in Sports Illustrated and found myself pleased, smiling indeed, that the magazine had recognized the magnitude of his being by awarding him a lengthy column that ran down the entire page. No brief mention for the life that had belonged to Jake Elder. He deserved more than that, and that's what he got.
If you're an avid stock car racing fan, you know the name. Immediately to mind has come also the names of legends, Darrell Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt, for you know that Elder's genius as a crew chief was lethal when combined with the driving genius of Waltrip and Earnhardt. Together, Elder helped those men rewrite the history books of NASCAR racing. Elder directed both men to their first NASCAR Cup victories and was even there to oversee Darrell's last victory in the Southern 500 in Darlington in 1992.
Not that he stayed with Darrell for all those years. Goodness no. He probably had two or three hundred jobs during the almost 20 years between those two wins.
We called him "Suitcase Jake," a moniker that he wore as casually and as unconcerned as the billed cap that he often pushed back from his forehead. He was, as in the words of that famous Southern rock band, the Allman Brothers, a "rambling man." He rambled mightily. From one team to another.
Six months with one team was known as an eternity in the life of Jake Elder. If you made him mad, if you riled him, which was mindlessly easy to do, he'd simply pack his suitcase, roll his toolbox out the door and head to the next garage. There was always an open door beckoning to Elder, for his brilliance was as welcomed as a thirsty cornfield welcomes rain on a hot, summer day.
I remember once while I was working in the sport, that one team announced Jake's arrival to their garage stall by putting a suitcase on the back of the race car. Across the suitcase were emblazoned the words: "Suitcase Jake is Here."
One day I was looking for him and approached one of the crew members on his team. "Oh, Jake's done gone."
"When did that happen?" I asked.
"'Bout an hour ago."
He hadn't gone far, it turned out. Just about three stalls down the garage, where he had parked his tool box and suitcase. For the moment.
Jake was ornery, eloquence of word or gesture was never his forte. Born in the backwoods South, Elder could neither read nor write. He was what has been called "country dumb." That's not a dig, mind you. It's a mighty compliment. His lack of education often teased folks into underestimating him. But he was nothing short of brilliance. He understood a race car in a way that was nothing short of genius.
When I heard that this unforgettable Southern character was gone, I called race car driver, Kenny Schrader, remembering that he and Elder had worked together (again) briefly.
"Give me a great Jake Elder story," I said. Schrader didn't hesitate. Immediately, he recounted a time in Talladega during qualifying when cars were running (in the old days before restriction plates) 207 (two-oh-seven) mph and 208 (two-oh-eight) mph. Then Bill Elliott hit the track and shattered all speed records by going over 210 mph.
Jake came running up and said, "That son-of-a-gun just went two-oh-ten!"
I threw back my head and laughed deeply. Then the laughter melted away. Characters like that just don't pass this way very often. How sad.

What's Nutritional Yeast?
by Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Uncategorized, June 2, 2012Nutritional yeast is a source of great mystery for most people. Isn't yeast what makes bread rise? And beer ferment? Yes, but nutritional yeast is quite different. It's non-active yeast that has been grown (usually on glucose or another simple sugar), deactivated by heat, then dried, pasteurized and eventually sold in your neighborhood health food store. You may see it commercially as flakes for a yellowish powder (looks like cornmeal). Some cook with it but it is also popular as a condiment. So what's the hype?
Nutritionally, nutritional yeast (sometimes called "food yeast") offers protein (complete, with essential amino acids) and B-complex vitamins. It's low in fat and sodium and free of sugar, dairy and gluten. So for those with allergies or special diets, nutritional yeast packs a unique flavor with some major dietary benefits. Vegetarians and vegans tend to like nutritional yeast for its protein. B vitamins can help regulate metabolism, but also work to maintain healthy skin, hair and muscle tone. As if the protein and B vitamins aren't enough, nutritional yeast also offers fiber and zinc.
Don't expect nutritional yeast to bear the same yeasty flavor as active or brewer's yeast. Nutritional yeast has a strong flavor that some describe as nutty, creamy or cheesy. Because of its taste, it is a popular cheese substitute for vegans or anyone with diary allergies. Many enjoy nutritional yeast on popcorn and salads, in soups, casseroles, dips, and smoothies. It works well in place of cheese in pasta dishes, potatoes and polenta.
So whether you're curious about the one-of-a-kind flavor or interested in the health benefits it is worth giving it a try to satisfy your culinary curiosity.
Try these tasty recipes:
What are your favorite uses for nutritional yeast?

Mankind has managed to one-up nature once again with a 19g robotic unmanned hummingbird capable of precision flight, hovering and espionage.
AeroVironment, the California company behind the largest, highest and longest-flying unmanned aircraft, is now grabbing for new records with their Nano Hummingbird. With two flapping wings and no tail, the tiny craft can fly forward at speed and hover with the utmost control while carrying its own energy source, motor, communications systems and a video camera payload.
"The historic achievement made by the Nano Hummingbird is an example of the leading-edge innovations introduced and deployed almost routinely by the AeroVironment UAS team," said Tom Herring, AV senior vice president and general manager of Unmanned Aircraft Systems. "From the battle-proven Raven, Wasp and Puma small UAS to the tiny Nano Hummingbird to Global Observer, the largest, highest and longest flying UAS, AeroVironment continues to define the future of unmanned aircraft systems."
With a wingspan of 6.5 inches and less weight than a stack of nine dimes, the Unmanned Aircraft System can fly in any direction: It can ascend, descend, hover directly to either side, fly forward or backwards, rotate either way and even do an aerial backwards.
The craft was built as part of Phase II, a contract assigned to AeroVironment by DARPA, for their Nano Air Vehicle program. To meet all of the criteria of the contract, the craft was required to demonstrate several abilities, including:
The Nano Hummingbird not only fulfilled all of these objectives, but according to AeroVironment, exceeded many of them.
"The success of the Nano Hummingbird was highly dependent on the intense combination of creative, scientific, and artistic problem-solving skills from the many AV team members, aided by a philosophy of continuous learning, which we feel was only possible due to the unique R&D environment here at AV," said Matt Keennon, AV's project manager and principal investigator on the NAV project.
Though it may seem like little more than a neat toy, the remote-controlled craft has potential in a wide variety of applications in defense and security. Why risk poking your head around the corner when you could fly a tiny, very-difficult-to-shoot camera around to see what lies ahead?

The Best Roulette Strategy EVER!
Have you been searching for the "holy grail" of casino roulette gaming? Ever wonder how "professional gamblers" actually exist? Well, the truth is that they do exist, and there are more than just a handful too.
The primary pool of professional gamblers consist of poker or blackjack players. However, for those that know the secret, there is a much easier way to make a living at the casino by use of the roulette table.
You heard me right, ROULETTE CAN BE BEATEN!…And it's as simple as using math to your advantage. Einstein, even though he admittedly didn't spend a lot of time studying the game of roulette, said that the only way you can win in roulette is if you steal from the dealer. I was shocked to find out that with a little thinking on your end, mixed with statistical probabilities, you can turn the odds in your favor. You can turn the odds in your favor so well, in fact, that the chances of you losing are LESS THAN 1%!
This may sound pretty unbelievable right now, and rightfully so. However, if you don't have the information that I have, you're missing out on huge profits and an easy living. The fact of the matter is that roulette can be easily beaten using math itself. What's more is that the answer to cracking the wheel has been staring us all in the face since the game was invented!
Now, don't get me wrong; armed with this information, you're not going to just go over to any roulette wheel and start raking in the cash. However, if you know where to play to set the odds in your favor, you can make about $100k a year, working the wheel part time. If you choose to do it full time, you can make $300k per year or more!
Excited yet? At least curious?

Delegate's Charter
This charter is endorsed by Unite and contains the recognition rights we expect employers to observe. The best way to guarantee the rights below is to have them written in to your collective agreement.
As a workplace delegate you have the right to:
• Recognition by your employer that you are the workers' elected representative. Members of the union elect the workplace delegate to represent them – the employer doesn't have the right to interfere in this process. Managers with the power to discipline workers or hire and fire shouldn't be delegates, though in some circumstances they may be union members.
• Recognition by fellow workers that you are the democratically elected Unite delegate in the workplace.
• Approach union members, or be approached by union members, about joining the union or workplace issues during work hours.
• Represent members at disciplinary meetings including the time needed to investigate any issues. This can include interviewing other workers or management involved prior to a meeting.
• Have another union member or delegate with you when you are raising an issue with management.
• Arrange workplace meetings for members on the work premises during work hours.
• Consult with other delegates within the region during work time.
• Use a workplace phone and other facilities and resources needed to carry out your delegate duties.
• Post notices on union notice boards without interference from your employer.
• Paid time to attend union education workshops and delegate meetings endorsed by the union.
• Time off to act in any capacity under the direction of the Unite branch secretary.
You cannot be disciplined for exercising these rights

i had some issues with my mondeo 2005 tdci, and from doing some reading i reckoned it was the egr valve. i wasnt too confident about tackling it alone, and when my brother came to visit i mentioned it to him and we got stuck in...
my brother is a a keen diy mechanic so when he came to visit i mentioned this problem. he checked out a couple of pages on google to suss out the layout of the EGR valve, we bought some carb cleaning spray and had a go.
the egr was easy to find after removal of the plastic engine cover. the access id quite good, at the front top left in the engine bay. we only had to remove two nuts front, two nuts rear, and a large jubilee clip, then a vacuum hose and two electric connections.
the egr came out very easily. it was seriously caked in carbon soot. we cleaned it all off dry, then used the carb cleaner to soften and remove the tougher bits. we had to make a small wire scrapper from a piece of coat hanger to get into the corners.once that was clean we checked up the plastic cover between egr and the valves [dont know the name or how better to describe] and there was some further deposits to remove. you could just about clean them out with a finger and a clean rag. a little squirt of carb cleaner and a last wipe removed the last traces.
after re-assembly i tried to start the car. there were a couple of little coughs that had me worried, then it fired up ok. the flashing heater plug light was still on, but after running up the road i turned the ignition off and re-started and the heater light didnt re-appear. i was now able to put my foot down and the power is back. started from cold just fine this morning, zero celsius.
very pleased. thanks for the advice chaps. this is not a major garage jobbie.i am guilty of not doing regular oil and filter changes, so this might well have been the source of the problem i also dont drive the car long distances as i used to do and diesels prefer to be driven until fully warm to keep the soot from building up.
i will be doing an oil change including a full flush, oil, fuel and air filters, then adding some 'forte' diesel treatment [recommended by the brother] to clear out the remnants of the carbon/soot.
the forte treatment was added to less than a quarter of a tank of fuel, and the eml [engine management light] was still on. i took the car for a short 10 mile run on the mway, running at over 80. the eml was still on. stopped at the supermarket on the way home, and when i re-started the car the eml was now out, yippee!!!
the next day i filled up with fuel and all looks good, so far.
i have read with interest about blanking the egr valve. as my car is euro 4, should i use the one with the hole in it. i know some fumes will still get in bit at least the eml will not light up as it would do if i fitted a fully blanked plate. will there be some benefit in fitting the plate with the hole in it or should i just not bother? i dont like the idea of the eml being on in case there was another fault in the future, how would i know...
sorry about the script size. maybe the mods could re-set the bottom part of the text as it might be a little hard to read. thanks.
Firstly the Forte/wynns and other fuel additives that state "clean the induction system" really do, they do this by modifying the fuel flash point of the fuel i.e. making the fuel burn at a quicker and much higher temperature, this then burns carbon deposits away where they would not normally at normal diesel fuel running temperatures.
The instructions of use should be followed as they are devised in the laboratory on a dilution ratio e.g. 25% parts modifier to 100 parts fuel, you seem to have modified the laboratories stated dilution ratio by 75% positive etc,probably wont do your engine much good in the long run if practiced often>?
I think that I have this problem on my 2006 mondeo, but is it usual to loose all power on hard accelaration? . I get smoke when I give a bit of quick acceleration but if I floor the accelarator the engine will start to go but then loses power and the "glow plug light " comes on, if I turn engine off and restart it is back to normal.
cleaned out my egr valve & put 1 on,that was off another mk3(euro4).
2 days later,EML came on.scanned it,& 0401 & 0405 appeared.
took egr off,replaced with other 1(thats been cleaned),cleared eml,& its still off.btw I had a tiny hole 3or 4mm(slit) on vacuum pipe.taped it up for now.
i remember putting the boot down other day,& a bit of smoke(bit more than usual) appeared.I think the egr valve mustve stuck(no wonder he sold it to me for a fiver lol)ah well,ya pay peanuts,ya get monkeys*it

i do agree with what you have said with regard to the inclusion levels of the diesel additives. i only used a concentrated level to help clean out the fuel combustion system and egr as a short term option. the following day i topped up the fuel tank and so diluted the additive to the normal sort of inclusion levels.
a few days later, and after short journeys that didnt allow the car to get to full temperature i found the glow plug light/limp mode returning. i ordered a solid egr blanking plate and then took the car for a decent run. the car ran great, and the forte must have been clearing out any residue rubbish. the following day i fitted the egr blanking plate [the solid one] and it was nice and easy to just slacken off two bolts and slide it into place. the car is driving great, excellent mpg and power, and no glow plug light or EML coming on.
Hi Baitman,
Yeah the egr/dpf inlet/induction cleaner stuff you add to the tank is basically airline jet engine fuel (kerosene/parafin), I am an aerospace radiologist concerned with the diagnostics on stripped down jet engines and their rotating parts and can tell you there is never any soot or deposits to be found anywhere on the combustion side of things and very little on the exhaust side either.
Kerosene not only burns at a much higher temperature but acts as a catalyst on carbon/soot;I am not an expert but basically kerosene is able to penetrate carbon/soot deposits via a chemical (maybe other) reaction and release it from where it is stuck /adhered to, it really is good in diesel engines as diesel engines run very cool and get sooted up quickly if not run at high temperatures often.
Good stuff! but not sure it should be run at low dilution levels in an aluminium engine,kerosene has a very high sulphur content which absolutely reacts with and destroys aluminium, jet aircraft engines and there moving parts are mostly (90%) made from Titanium which does not readily react with sulphur at high temperatures....get my drift?! The manufacturers of the said tank additive all state it should not be added more than every 3,000 miles approx.
Another good point to make which is off topic!
Red Diesel !
How many out there think red diesel is just normal diesel with red dye added to catch tax cheats out???????
Red diesel for the less informed has at least (approx) 125% more phosphorous/sulfur content than its more refined cousin...white diesel.
Sulfur/phosphors absolutely eat aluminium away, cylinder head,valve seats,turbo's etc etc,just ask the multitude of merc sprinter owners that continued using it in there new alloy headed vans back in the 1990's....lol...my mates head gasket went 3 times in 12 months, not due to the bad workmanship of fitting the gaskets but from the porosity it caused where the sulphur had been trapped.
Changed the oil and filter yesterday and decided to clean the EGR valve at the same time. 65k on the clock and I had noticed it made smoke whenever you accelerated hard. When I got it off was ama zed at the state of it. The pipe must be at least 50mm diameter and was all but blocked, you could just get your finger in the middle - all the rest black tarry coke.
Cleaned it all out and reassembled; no more smoke!
I'd be willing to bet you,that if you put your foot down,the exact same way as you did before you cleaned your egr,that you'll get the smoke appear,under load.(unless you've blanked it off).
The manufacturers of the said tank additive all state it should not be added more than every 3,000 miles approx.
my brother had warned me that the forte is quite corrosive and can knacker engine parts if used continuously but he reckoned there was nothing better if you needed a quick internal clean out. an enema for you car :wacko:
i only used the high concentration for a 20 mile run, then after that it was back to the diluted rate as per the instructions.
i wouldnt want to be running with this sort of additive in the fuel as a normal thing, it was just to try and ensure any crap deposited from burning the recycled gases was cleaned out, and it 'd been ages since the oil and filters had been changed so things were probably as bad as could be.
my brother had an egr problem with his saab. he recognised the issue, and didnt even open it up to clean it. he just ran some forte through and it sorted it out :lol:
The saab diesel engine is the same fitted to the vauxhall vectra etc etc (same car basically), which were developed by Fiat, so in actual fact the saab,vauxhall plant is a Fiat :wacko: ....anyways.....I have just had my missis's Signum 150 in absolute bits due to the same poor running your brother had and I am 100% that egr cleaner as added to the fuel would absolutely not shift the amount of soot in an egr that causes problems all through the immediate induction system, the egr cleaner probably freed off the turbo and unblocked the egr pipe where it terminates at the turbo, they tend to block at the junction with the turbo in the first inch of pipe, once this is cleared the car usually runs ok again, the egr/dpf/injector/induction cleaner (basically the same stuff) is very good at shifting carbon where it burns hot,i.e.combustion chamber,turbo,catalytic convertor etc but when the gasses cool down as they reach parts such as the egr there is negligible effect and the only way of really removing soot and carbon from the egr,inlet manifold etc is to get yer fingers mucky......lol....trust me I am an expert on cdti carbon encrusted engines, I spent 3 weeks removing the said carbon/soot and after removing it all and power not being back to 100% I added a wynn's dpf treatment to over half the tank of diesel (lol I removed the DPF 15000 miles ago!!) and low and behold all was back to good in 30 miles.......I guess the kerosene additive freed the turbo and the egr pipe.
Got to remember most of all these threads are down to the EGR valves not necessarily giving up the ghost all in one go but they slowly over time block everything else up until they themselves stop working in the process, so when the egr is blocked and no longer working then simply cleaning the egr will only extinguish the dashboard light and stop the fault codes, after cleaning the egr then you need to clean the throttle body and then the inlet manifold (thats fun!), I think it is called, "cause and effect"!
When all is cleaned then put some cleaner fluid thru the tank to get where you couldnt with the varying size toothbrushes etc.
Lol...dont yer just love diesels! :lol:
I'm on my first diesel and Mondeo 130 tdci mk3.
It was running at the low 40's mpg on the trip computer. I cleaned the EGR valve which was caked as was the maqnifold which was also cleaned. I'm now getting around 48-49 mpg. This is on a 10 mile trip to work on mostly 30-40mph roads.
Its a very easy job to complete. The longest part was getting the manifold off and back on again due to all the wires in the way.
Nice one!
It needs to be recognised more on the forums that just mending the root cause of a light on the dashboard and clearing the code does not necessarily mean that there aren't knock on problems that need sorting, that result from the root cause and this prime example of the EGR valve is one of them.
Just like the example of a Turbo with blown seals that you have put off changing for 12 months, during that time the Turbo has emptied most of the hot oil you will have lost into the intercooler,the hot oil that has not been trapped in the intercooler will then travel through the throttle body and into the cold inlet manifold which by coincidence is full of soot from your partially blocked EGR valve.....oil and soot stick together resulting in the gooey mess you have to clean out of your throttle body, you clean the throttle body but don't realise that the inlet manifold straight after the throttle body is even worse than what you have just cleaned and the gas flowed surfaces are actually now 2 mm thick in carbon because the previous 2 owners only ever cleaned the egr valve because it got rid of the light on the dashboard........do you see the vicious circle??????

Dan Kammen presents a report on alternative energies in the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo and is featured in the Malaysian TV. Confronted with an estimated rise of 7% in electricity demand per year, the construction of coal and gas fired power plants currently are debated by the electric utility company Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd (SESB). The report explores viable alternatives of investments in increased energy efficiency, alternate palm oil waste bioenergy, geothermal energy, run-of-the river hydro facilities and in the long run solar power which can meet the rising demand as well. With costs comparable to those of the fossil fuel scenario Sabah could position itself as a renewable energy leader in East Asia.

Weight Loss Tips for Women Under 20
Weight Loss Tips » Weight Loss for Women Under 20
Women, at any age are very conscious about their figure. No matter what, they want to look good and be at their best. Women under 20 years of age, fall in the category of youngsters. The age itself is an important factor which makes women more conscious about their looks, appearances, and of course weight. When it comes to looking at weight loss tips for women under 20 years of age, you first need to understand that nutrition is the most important for the well being of your body. This is the age when you and your body is developing or growing. There are a lot of hormonal changes and other physical as well as mental growth happening. Hence, all the nutrients that you consume are absorbed in this growth process of the body. Thus, it is quite possible that how much ever you eat, it may or may not add on to your weight because it is already utilized for the development of your body.
Here are few useful weight loss tips for women under 20:
- Calculate your BMI: This is the first tip and step towards your weight loss. You first need to asses if you are overweight and if you really need to lose weight. The ideal way is to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI). It is best to consult your doctor whenever you plan for a weight loss. Whenever, your doctor measures your BMI, ensure to record it. Speak of any health problem or other mental, physical or emotional problems, which you feel attribute to your weight gain. The more you are transparent with your doctor, the more he/she is in a better position to give you a right advice.
- Calorie Intake: The next is to keep a check on your calorie intake. An ideal calorie intake for women of or under 20 years of age is about 2000 - 2400 calories daily for a sedentary and an active lifestyle respectively. However, before you plan any reduction of calories in your daily diet, it is good to consult your physician. This will ensure that a calorie reduction does not have any negative impact on your health.
- Nutritional Diet: As said earlier, your body is undergoing a lot of developmental changes. Hence, it is important to provide adequate and required nutrition to your body. You can always seek help from an expert nutritionist or simply use a diet planner software. When you use the software, you just have to put in the details of your age, weight, activity levels and the height, and the software takes care of the rest. All you need to ensure is that you have a nutritional diet, that includes fruits, vegetables, meats, legumes and grains.
- Decide on the Weight Loss: You need to decide on the weight that you want to lose and accordingly plan your diet and exercise program. Ensure that you do not drop a lot on your calorie intake as this might affect your health adversely. Always consult your physician and your physical trainer before you plan your diet and exercise program respectively.
- Exercise: It is well known that no matter how much you diet, there can be no way out to losing weight effectively without an exercise program. A regular 30 to 60 minutes of exercise is a must to lose weight and keep it off. A brisk walk or jogging should do the needful, instead of, opting for a strenuous exercise regime. Exercise is a must, as it boosts your metabolism which in turn helps in burning those extra calories and fat.
- Weight Record: This is another effective way of controlling your weight. It is a good practice to record your weight weekly. It would be ideal to record weight at the same time of the day every week and with the same clothes. This gives you a fair idea of where you stand in terms of your weight loss achievement. You can then adjust your diet and exercises accordingly.
- Alcohol Consumption: This is one of the important weight loss tips for women under 20. The age is such when you are eager and excited to explore new things and have your own experience. Alcohol is one such thing which makes the youngsters inquisitive. However, you need to understand that too much of alcohol consumption is not good for health, because it is high in calories and has no nutritional value. Five oz. of wine or 12 oz. of beer is an acceptable and safe limit of alcohol dose.
- Stay Hydrated: This is another important tip for the youngsters. It is advised to drink plenty of water and keep your body hydrated because it helps the body flush out all the toxins. It is advised to drink water when thirsty, instead of resorting to soft drinks and other alternatives.
These are some of the best weight loss tips for women under 20, designed keeping in mind the age factor and the daily activities of women under 20. If followed religiously, they definitely prove to be useful to achieve the desired weight loss.

What Google Should Do With the Nexus Q (Hint: Give It Google TV)
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
Google has shown that it's serious about hardware, especially hardware that carries the Nexus name. The Nexus 4 phone and the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets are all as good as or better than anything else out there — powerful, attractive, and competitively priced devices that define the Android experience. What, then, to make of the Nexus Q? As more Nexus devices roll out this week, it's easy to forget that Google's streaming-media player ever existed.
In fact, we've heard nothing about the Nexus Q since the company decided to delay it nearly three months ago. When the Q was unveiled at the Google I/O developer conference in June, the small matte-black orb was touted as the "first ever social streaming device." It was also the first piece of hardware Google had designed and built all on its own (the phones and tablets are done with partners like Samsung and LG). It was a small Android-powered gadget that plugged into a TV to stream music, movies, TV shows and YouTube videos from the cloud.
But there were problems with the Q — namely its price and feature set. At $300, the Q cost three times as much as competing products from Apple TV, Roku, and Boxee, yet it was much more limited. It could stream content only from Google Play and YouTube — no Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Rdio, Spotify or anything else — and users could control it only with an Android phone or tablet. The Q, sadly, was a non-starter before it even went on sale.
But Google gave away about 5,000 Nexus Qs at Google I/O in June, and when the company announced that it was delaying the product, it went ahead and shipped out free Q's to everyone who had pre-ordered. So there are a lot of them out in the wild. And those who have them have done some inspired hacks that suggest just how much more the Q could be. It's clearly not too late for Google to save the project. Here's what we hope the company will do with it.
Make It a Google TV Nexus Device
Google is starting to do some really amazing stuff with Google TV, but consumers don't have access to all of it. Google TV needs a Nexus device — one gadget that delivers the latest and greatest software and feature sets directly from Google, with no chance of being botched up by hardware partners. The Nexus Q can be that device.
On Tuesday Google announced new voice search and user interface features for Google TV. Now, instead of having to remember channel numbers or wade through ugly and slow-loading menus to find a station, users can just say what they want to watch, and Google TV will find it. But the new feature is dependent on the user's remote having a built-in microphone — something only LG offers for now, though Vizio and Sony have compatible remotes in the works. An app-based solution will come eventually, but that'll take months, and those who bought earlier Google TV set-top boxes or enabled TV sets will likely be left in the dust.
So Google has designed a great software experience, and almost nobody can get to it because hardware support is inconsistent. Where have we heard this complaint before? Oh, right — Android. This is exactly why Google sells Nexus phones and tablets — to get the best of Android out to consumers on its own terms. Google TV has been languishing since its launch in 2010 because the effort has lacked a true "halo device." The Q, if loaded up with Google TV and shipped with an appropriate remote, has everything needed to be that device.
Tomi Blinnikka, a director of front-end platforms at the Apollo Group, built both an app to control the Nexus Q's ring of LED lights, so he could use the Nexus Q as a clock, and a remote control app so he could operate the Q from a PC. Blinnikka's QRemote app even allowed him to change the colors displays on the Q's ring of LEDs. Aside from that, Blinnikka says he hasn't found much that the Nexus Q does right now that Google TV and other competing products don't also do at a lower price.
"When Google delayed the Nexus Q launch, it made me question how much of a skunkworks project it really was," the Oakland resident told Wired. "You have to wonder what is the actual product they're actually trying to create. And the overlap with Google TV — why would one be better than the other? The Nexus Q has no killer feature really, and I think they need to investigate what problem the Nexus Q is really trying to solve that can't already be solved 1,000 other ways."
The Q needs a killer feature and Google TV needs killer hardware. Make it happen, Google.

Best Religious Experience
The problem with the Colorado lifestyle is that it's hard to cram everything into the weekend. It's Saturday: If you're Jewish, do you trudge off to synagogue or hit the slopes to ride the freshies? Blessedly, Rabbi Jamie Korngold -- aka the Adventure Rabbi -- has found a way to blend both. Her Shabbat Service on Skis/Boards is held the second Saturday of the month at mid-mountain, either at Copper or Vail. After a short service -- about fifteen minutes at lunchtime usually does it -- it's back to the powder. "I know the rabbis would love us to go to synagogue, but the truth is, we moved to Colorado for the skiing," says Korngold. "This tweaks what we're doing out there in a beautiful way." Amen.

@ anon66609: I suggest you go see a podiatrist too, so he can evaluate your condition which might be an accessory sesamoid bone which is actually a little bone formed into a foot tendon or and exaggerated osseous formation in an area of friction like a kidner-navicular medial to the foot.
In this case, there could be formation of a bursa that causes inflammation and then pain. The more permanent treatment of this condition would be a surgical excision which a podiatrist surgeon could do. If you don't want to cover the fees related to a surgery, then you could considered a cortisone injection and see if the pain and inflammation come back. If it does, then orthosis with a proper isolation of the bony prominence could be considered and might help your condition. Maybe your situation is different to any of these I just listed, but in my opinion you should go see your foot doctor.

Sen. Mike Johanns said Tuesday that Congress must work in a bipartisan way to reduce spending and overhaul the income tax system, as the national debt surpassed $16 trillion.
Johanns said President Obama has failed to deliver on a campaign promise four years ago to cut the national debt in half.
Instead, our debt has grown $5 trillion," Johanns said. "This fiscal crisis, however, doesnt just impact one party. It affects every American, and thats why Im working across the aisle to find a solution.
Both parties must come together to reduce spending and reform our nations antiquated tax code so the country we leave for our children and grandchildren is as prosperous as the one we inherited, he said.
Johanns spent August traveling across Nebraska talking about our countrys economy and debt.
He is part of on-going, bipartisan discussions to develop a comprehensive solution to our nations dire fiscal situation, he said.

Pharoahe Monch - Damage
Damage Pharoahe Monch
Playing with a famous line from LL's "Momma Said Knock You Out", Pharoahe does his thing on this new single off his upcoming EP "P.T.S.D." scheduled for a late Fall release.
Check out Damage, the latest track from Pharoahe Monch, which dropped on Thursday, September 27th, 2012. Pharoahe Monch's movement grows stronger with each new release, and Damage has further strengthened that fact. It's a solid addition to the commendable body of work Pharoahe Monch has been creating since stepping foot in the rap game, and we're definitely looking forward to what Pharoahe Monch has on deck.
Hear more of Pharoahe Monch on Stand Your Ground (Rough). Check out Pharoahe Monch's profile page for the most recent info, news, songs, and mixtapes. Have you checked out Pharoahe Monch's Twitter pages?
How does this compare to Pharoahe Monch's previous work?
Quotable Lyrics
"They cock them hammers, wave them llamas
But that's that in front of the camera drama
So when the cameras are attached to dollys, I call them dali lama's
Mold me, loathe, hold me in the palm of your hand, load me
You know exactly what I am, murderer
When I'm inserted on to the top of fifteen family members
It's the curse of the proverbial anarchy starter, the martyr
This is what I have been converted to do what I do is insanity"

What does the "Validate PDF" function check for?
There are a number of checks made on the PDF. It checks for improper attachments such as media or viruses. It checks for a maximum size of 14 inches by 14 inches and for non standard size outside of 'Letter' and 'A4'. It checks for non-embedded fonts and if the font is licensed. It checks to see if the attached file is a valid PDF, ASCII text or PCT-EASY zip file.

Date Tip
In the Tech Tips section of the November 2007 Linux Journal, there is a tip called "Show Date or Time, Past or Future" that requires you to download and compile showdate.c.
Another way to do these date calculations is to use the GNU date
command that is included in most (all?) Linux distributions. See:
David Blackman
Mr Copeland's argument for stealing music boiled down to its essence is "because it's possible, it's okay" [LJ, November 2007, Letters]. It's a refreshingly candid argument.
While I certainly agree that by buying a song, I should be allowed and able to play it on any device I own (or will own), it does not follow that I now have the right to redistribute it to others, simply because I could!
The (possible) greed of the RIAA, et al., is a red herring. If you think an item is too expensive, don't buy it. If enough people feel the same way, the price will come down (or the creator will go bankrupt).
If in fact the community (including Linux Journal) does indeed condone Mr Copeland's (and other's) argument, then I have a perfectly good CD containing the latest Linux Journal archive (which I recently bought) that I will be happy to make available on my Web site for immediate free worldwide distribution. I'll just conveniently ignore that bothersome LJ "All Rights Reserved" copyright notice at the bottom.
The irony is apparent in Mr Copeland's last paragraph where he states "If you fear people or begrudge them control over their own lives...."
Musicians, artists and others who create intellectual
property or content are people too, and by your own arguments, they have
the right to control their own lives, and that means THEY have the right to
decide what happens to their intellectual property, how it should be
distributed, what rights are allowed or reserved, etc. Why shouldn't they
be entitled to leverage new technology to make money for themselves?
Ultimately, that's what we all do.

Disabling Services Revisited
Nicholas Petreley's command-line method to temporarily disable services, as described in the July 2007 Linux Journal Tech Tips section, works.
Granted, renaming the files the way he suggests is a far better alternative to simply removing them. However, there are very easy-to-use command-line utilities that properly deal with this problem:
chkconfig (Red Hat or alike systems).
update-rc.d (Debian or alike systems—consider looking into file-rc).
One more reason not to rename these files is that they will most likely
be missed by the package manager when the package is removed.
Waiting for Feedback
I read, with not inconsiderable interest, parts of the letter by Chuck Adams titled "Sold on Kubuntu", October 2007 LJ, wherein appeared, "Now I can do a case in less than ten minutes on an AMD64."
Well, now, that simple assertion—per se—seemed so interesting to me, for I did my M. Sc. N-Body work on an IBM System/360 Model 50 under OS/360 circa 1973, I just had to check into it a little more deeply! And, you see, my most expensive single run cost only ~ C$7,000.00, I seem to recall!
So, assuming his runs took 3.5 hours (that is, 210 minutes) on a CDC 7600 versus ten minutes on an AMD64, the time ratio is only 21—I calculated!
Therefore, while I guess that's possible—albeit somewhat seemingly [s]low—any feedback therefore from Dr Adams would be most gratefully appreciated, of course!
I now mostly employ Red Hat Linux Fedora 7, x86_64,
on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5600+ processor-based
PC built from components purchased from Fry's and assembled
at home, avec quelque succes.

The Audacity...
After a lapse, it's good to be receiving Linux Journal again. As a nontraditional (older) college student, money can be very tight at times. Money has been very tight over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, pleasures in life end up getting pushed aside in the name of the necessities.
I have always liked the Cooking with Linux column
by Marcel Gagné. In the October 2007 issue, he wrote
about audio editors. As an Audacity user, I can say
Mr Gagné forgot one tiny little detail when
it comes to writing out one's creations, and that is,
Audacity does not come ready to write to the MP3
format. (At least this is true in SUSE.) It will write to
the OGG and wav format right out of the box but
not to the MP3 format. I always have had to, first,
install the MP3 library file in the proper place and
then tell Audacity where to find it before I could
write MP3 files.

Thanks Jack
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed Jack Xue's article on creating a Linux-based e-mail system that integrates with Active Directory in the November 2007 issue. One thing I want to correct or add to his article is that Windows Server 2003 R2 is not required for acquiring the POSIX schema modifications that are needed for authenticating UNIX clients. POSIX attributes and object classes are required, and Windows Server 2003 R2 includes those schema changes automatically; however, R1's Active Directory schema can still be modified to support POSIX accounts. It's just that the same third-party product that provides it to R2 has to be manually installed for R1: Services For Unix 3.5 (SFU). This includes the POSIX schema changes as well as other UNIX utilities and services (for example, NFS). This is useful for people who have Windows Server 2003 R1 who do not want to upgrade to R2.
I hope Jack has more articles to share with us in the future. Great

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.
