The sys admin's daily grind: Archivemail
Charly loves to be organized, but he also likes to have access to mail that reached him when the dinosaurs were still roaming the earth.
Occasionally I need to delve into my mailboxes for an antique message, just to prod my memory. Because my mail client has a full text index of the inbox, I usually find the information I'm looking for within a couple of seconds. Unfortunately, this flush of success is often a delicate thing: With 300 messages flooding in every day, not counting mailing lists, the indexer often gives up the fight. And because many messages have bulky attachments, I genuinely need to clean out my modern day equivalent of the Augean stables.

And in regards to how to police this - it's very simple. You normally have someone stationed at the tops and bottoms of lifts right? Well, if someone gets off the lift and takes their helmet off, the operator at the top of the lift could easily radio down to the person at the bottom of the lift. When that rider gets down there, the lower lift operator can ask them to see ID if they're of questionable age, or otherwise tell them they can't get onto the lift until they've got a helmet on. It's pretty damn simple. Resorts would be able to enforce the rule pretty easily, and would need to since it's not just policy but law. If a minor was to get hurt on resort property without a helmet on, it could end up negatively for the resort.

**On a side note. Who the hell would take their helmet off at the top of the lift? What are ya gonna do, carry it while you ride so you look cool not wearing a helmet And if you have enough room in your backpack for a helmet, then why are you wearing a backpack to begin with ....I know to carry your helmet down the hill so you look cool |

so now, the lift operators earning $7/hour are going to be responsible for monitoring every person (and identifying potential minors from a distance) who gets off the chairlift and play snow-security? And the guy at the bottom is he going to stop the chairlift from running so he can chase down some kid and ask for ID? How will he know who to ask? What if the kid has his helmet back on by that time? What if the kid traverses and goes to a different chairlift? I do not think it is nearly as "simple" as you want it to be.
Also, on a related note: where I'm from, snowboard "leash" is also required by law. Only one of the 5 or 6 ski areas that I visit regularly makes any effort to enforce this, sure a helmet is far more prominent than a leash, but it just shows that just because something is codified as "law" doesn't mean that the resorts really will do a diligent job policing it.

look, you can keep coming up with reasons why this doesn't work...and maybe it won't, but really it sounds like alot of people whining and bitching about a law that has little to no effect on them whatsoever. find an issue worth complaining about and complain about it. a state making a law that makes it mandatory for kids to wear helmets really isn't worth the bitching.

lol there's so much I disagree with that it doesn't even make sense to reply - we obviously have very different view points on our government and on these laws. If this law cost a million dollars to instate, I'd be shocked - now compare salaries of government employees, or money wasted on private jets or dom perignon in air force one or tax write-offs or oil kick backs or a million other things. We as a country are incredibly wasteful with our money, and day to day people generally keep their mouths shut and continue on with their daily lives. Now, because this law was put into place and it is brought to your attention simply because it pertains to the sport you;re interested in, you have a qualm about government spending? How about instead of bitching and moaning about a law meant to protect people who aren't mature enough to make a decision about protecting THEMSELVES, you bitch and moan about government bailouts, free healthcare on the backs of the american people, and the abomination that is our president now.. who is a product of YOUR votes.

Nah I have a qualm about pretty much everything else you listed, too. I thought I made that obvious. It is retarded to spend more money when you're already mismanaging and overbudget on the money that you do spend. "How about instead ... you bitch and moan about government bailouts, free healthcare on the backs of the american people, and the abomination that is our president now." I've done more than my fair share of that. And you know what people say? It's like fucking clockwork bro, as sure as the Swiss trains run on time, I get a response that rarely deviates from:

This does seem like a stupid law. I think when resorts require kids to wear helmets for lessons or require their instructors to wear them, it is a more positive way to promote them. This law came about because a doctor's daughter died in an accident in 1988 and he has been trying to pass it in NJ for years:
When Nicole went on the school trip as a novice skier, we thought she would be throwing snowballs and playing in the snow in a very safe place. We had no idea how dangerous the sport is until we went down and saw the place where she had the accident. Nicole was skiing on a beginner slope with two classmates, when they accidentally wandered onto a more advanced slope made bumpy by snow moguls, her father recounted. The three slipped and fell. As Nicole started to get up from behind a mogul, she was struck in the head by the skis of an airborne skier. She immediately fell and was unconscious, indicating the severity of her injury, San Agustin said. An ambulance took Nicole to a small hospital in Rockland County, N.Y., which didnt have the surgical staff or diagnostic equipment to deal with her brain injury, San Agustin said. She died three days later." One of the things my wife and I believe in is that things happen for a reason, San Agustin said. When this bill becomes law, what it will mean to us is that Nikki would not have died in vain. If this law saves one life and prevents a family from experiencing what we have gone through over the years, them again she would not have died in vain. Earlier the law held ski area's responsible for injuries to minors without helmets. That version did not pass. This one did has ".... new language that relieves resorts of liability. Under the law, the burden of enforcement will be on police, not resort personnel. The parents or guardian of youths who fail to wear helmets will be fined $25 for the first violation and $100 for subsequent infractions." I cannot imagine the police at lifts or on the mountain finding the parents and handing out fines. I think this just passed to satisfy the family. |

Monaco striker Radamel Falcao has been the subject of frenzied speculation as the summer transfer window enters its final day.
The last 24 hours have seen the Columbia forward linked with a host of Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United as well as European champions Real Madrid.
Arsene Wenger said Arsenal are in "very active" talks with a striker following his side's 1-1 draw with Leicester – any deal for Falcao looks likely to include a £20m loan fee.
"We want to and we are open to it," Wenger said. "I don't want to speak about individual cases. We are very active."
Falcao tweeted "Hello Madrid" on Sunday – only to delete it not long afterwards – while reports in Italy claim United are keen to sign him.
And City's interest could be strengthening with Alvaro Negredo looking set to join Valencia on loan.
If that deal goes through, Sky Sports' Spanish football pundit Guillem Balague expects City to move for Falcao.
Speaking ahead of Barcelona's game at Villarreal on Sunday evening, Balague told Sky Sports: "Negredo is negotiating with Valencia, with the possibility of going on loan and he is prepared to reduce his wages.
"And if that happens, Manchester City will then get Falcao.
"That's the situation that is being negotiated at the moment. Everybody at the moment is still saying it is very unlikely, but Negredo is pushing to go Valencia."
But a source at Manchester City has told Sky Sports News HQ they are not in negotiations with Falcao adding the former Atletico striker will not be going to City in this transfer window.

text: #2514: Upstream bugs in xine-lib --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: alexander at linuxfromscratch.org | Owner: blfs-book at linuxfromscratch.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.3 Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- This is a continuation of #2476. Three upstream xine-lib bugs were mentioned there: 1) green artifacts on H.264 videos with the internal ffmpeg (fixed in the book by switching to the external ffmpeg, but the fact that the external ffmpeg has to be compiled with --enable-pp --enable-gpl is mentioned nowhere). 2) Broken (and crashing xfmedia, which is not in the book) OpenGL output as a reason to --disable-opengl: xfmedia still crashes. Gxine doesn't crash, but produces incorrect output when using unaccelerated OpenGL (and defaults to this broken output configuration in qemu or other emulators-- you can probably reproduce this on a real machine by moving /usr/lib/dri out of the way and restarting X). The distortion with the same testcase file looks like overall greenish background, a ghost image of the blade shifted to the right from the real one, and purple artifacts on the right. Also, scaling is incorrect. The xshm output plugin produces the correct image. So, the --disable-opengl swtich is still a good idea. Maybe it also makes sense to disable other uncommon outputs such as a framebuffer. 3) Incorrect stack alignment causing the external ffmpeg to think that it has been miscompiled: I cannot reproduce this, and assume that it has been fixed upstream, so there is no need to pass --disable-optimizations as of xine-lib 1.1.12. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2514> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch

Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead (Mass Market Paperback)
Not In Stock - Special Order (Subject to Availability)
There's no rest for the weary treasure hunter, but that's how Indiana Jones likes it. Fresh from spying for the Allies in the thick of World War II Germany, the globe-trotting archaeologist doesn't need much persuading to join his cohort "Mac" McHale in searching for one of the most coveted of artifacts: the fabled black pearl known as the Heart of Darkness. But the partners in adventure are not alone on their foray into the mysterious jungles of Haiti. German and Japanese agents are in hot pursuit, determined to possess the ebony artifact–and its secrets–for their own sinister purposes. And shadowing them all is an infamous voodoo priest, with powers of both diabolical science and black magic at his command.
On a treacherous odyssey across the Island of the Dead, where the legend of the zombi looms large, spiders, snakes, and booby traps will prove the least of Indy's challenges. And capturing the prize will be child's play compared to confronting an enemy unlike any other, whose numbers are legion and nearly impossible to kill–because they're already dead. . . .

Things I liked:Very pleasing to the senses . Upon opening the package my first impressions were : Whoa nice size , attention to detail , all things present and in proper location as a replica should be . I lift it out of the box and immediately notice the realistic weight and how it perfectly fits my hand . I loaded the mag with the air cylinder and rounds , pop it in the mag well . Oh yeah , getting that warm fuzzy feeling . Accuracy and velocity were well above what I had expected . I spent the hour plinking various targets around the yard , I haven't that much fun in long time . I'm still smiling now . I almost forgot this was purchased for my son , should have bought two of them ! Shooting the gun , the air driven cycling go Pop , Pop , Pop , the slide cycles to and fro very realistic . As you know good practice builds good skills and without having to drive to the range too. Things I would have changed:Only one part seems could have been made better , the magazine's cylinder cap . It is made of plastic with a metal insert . I get the reasoning behind it . To protect the magazine body in the event of cross threading . Take the time to explain to your young person how to properly install this cap and there should not be a problem . What others should know:My back ground : former Marine , competitive shooter ( bench rest and silhouette ) , and a gunsmith of eleven years . Only advise : Buy two . Things I liked:Very realistic in weight and size. It fits my holster for the same gun. Things I would have changed:Better directions. I would like the directions to include how to remove the slide for changing the hop-up and which direction to move the hop-up dial (forward toward the muzzle for more or back for more?) What others should know:Excellent training for IPSC with small targets at close range. Google airsoft for IPSC. Things I liked:The weight of this gun is quite substantial. It fits the hand perfectly and is very comfortable with the extended beavertail. The trigger is very light improving the POI on the target. Adjustable BAXS is awesome if you intend to hit a target at distances beyond the norm. Although my sights were perfect right out of the box, the rear sight is adjustable which is a definite plus. The blowback is hard but not too hard that it throws off your shot. The funnelled magwell is awesome. You will never miss a mag change. The safety is very easy to manipulate with the thumb. I'm getting between 3 and 4 mags per co2 in approx. 10 degrees celcius (50 degrees farenheit). The gun is loud and should be rated a 4 medium-high comparing it to my other pistols. Things I would have changed:Not a thing. This gun is nothing short of perfection. What others should know:This is a fun gun to shoot and it is as intimidating as it looks. EVERYONE wants to shoot it and I tell them that they can...for $140!! I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, but as in all my guns, I only use premium ammo as I don't want to damage the barrel or any part to save a buck. If you appreciate this gun enough to buy it then don't cheap out on ammo. That's like putting low octane gas in your Ferrari cause it's cheaper. As well, don't be afraid to lube the gun. I use Super Lube mixed with a few shakes of graphite powder and the slide is so slick, it's like wet ice on wet ice. DON'T over grease the gun!! Only put enough grease on that you can see the sheen of the thin layer on the metal. Also, when greasing, rub some grease on your fingers and then rub the inside of the magwell. The mags will be much easier loading and ejecting. (Don't forget to put a drop of Pellgunoil on the hammer and trigger springs. I do this for all my guns and they all perform perfectly. Proper and regular cleaning and maintenance of this, and all of your guns will ensure the longest lasting performance and provide you with years of enjoyment. This is an impressive gun and one of my favourites. This is an impressive gun from KWC and definitely a must have for all airgun enthusiasts. Definitely worth every penny and then some. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!! Go buy it NOW!!!
The only way to get one that I know of is to order the Tanfoglio Gold Custom. Note here though, the rear sight is not removable even though it looks like it, Personally, the gun shoots extremely well with just the sights. You're welcome and I trust you will like your gun as much as I like mine. My brother had to have one too after I got mine and he LOVES it so much he wants the 4.5mm version as well.
Thank you for the great review. I ordered mine after reading your review of the gun and how well you liked it. I hope I like mine just as well, one question where can you get the red dot mount that will fit the supplied hole drilled in the gun?

Air conditioner defect checklist: here we list the types of critical problems that may occur in air conditioning or heat pump systems, a first step in understanding how an air conditioning service technician will diagnose certain common air conditioning system failures or defects. This air conditioning/heat pump inspection guide lists critical air conditioning system defects which a building inspector or owner should not miss. We include photographs to assist readers in recognizing cooling system defects. This HVAC article series describes the inspection, diagnosis & repair of residential air conditioning systems (A/C systems) & heat pump systems to diagnose problems as well as to inform home buyers, owners, and home inspectors of common cooling system defects. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Critical Defects in Air Conditioning Equipment InspectionsBeginning at AIR CONDITIONING & HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS the major components of an air conditioning system are described, sketches and photographs are provided, and common defects for each cooling system component are listed along with visual or other clues that may suggest a problem or probable failure of A/C components. Example home inspection report language used to report air conditioning system defects and cooling system repairs needed is provided to describe common air conditioning system defects. We continue to add to and update this text as new details are provided. Contact us to suggest text corrections or additions and, if you wish, to receive online listing and credit for that contribution. Critical defects which an inspector should not fail to detect when examining any building component or system are defects which form an immediate, significant safety hazard or defects which are quite likely to involve significant repair or replacement cost, and which involve components or systems which are necessary to occupy and use the building. Methods for detection and diagnosis of these defects are discussed in this document and in its references. Suggestions for inclusion or exclusion of items in this list are invited - see the link "Contact Us".
Air Conditioning System Operation Report LanguageObservation of the condition of an air conditioning or heat pump system, typical inspection report language includes these succinct descriptions
of findings:
Operating Note: Many such air conditioning systems must be left with power turned on (we found switches in the "off" position) for 24 hours prior to running the equipment. This permits heaters at the compressors to assure good oil flow in those components. To operate the equipment without this step risks very costly damage to the compressor. When a system is not operated we can make no representation that it functions correctly and adequately.

Electrical Service Box Location Defects
Inspecting the Electric Service Panel & Main Disconnect Switch for Condition DefectsThe Implications: electrical shock or fire. Look for these electrical panel hazards when inspecting the main circuit breaker: [Click to enlarge any image]
How Many Main Breakers are Allowed in a Residential Electrical Panel?Reader Question: Recently I inspected a ITE Pushmatic main panel box. At the top of each buss line there was a main breaker. What is the current policy regarding this type of main panel box wiring configuration? Is there need for further evaluation by a licensed electrician? - D.B. 1/22/2014 [Click to enlarge any image] Reply: The short answer is that we are allowed up to two main switches to turn off power in the main electrical panel. A sub panel containing 6 circuits or less can omit a separate main breaker and may be switched by the breaker on its input feed circuit. But there are other issues with Pushmatics that argue for viewing this equipment with caution. I'm not confident that the advice "have the panel examined by an electrician" is at all an adequate warning, since there are surely electricians living by rigid code interpretation who will deem safe electrical panels known to have safety defects but that have not been subject to a government-ordered recall. Clear examples are FPE Stab-Lok equipment, and two more possible examples are the Bulldog-Pushmatic panel and also Zinsco panels. Where we have independent, unbiased testing and field reports of comparatively high levels of field failures, an astute home inspector, electrical inspector, or electrician ought to call out those hazards - even where they may call for a costly panel replacement. (The last man in to touch the equipment will be blamed if/when there is a fire or catastrophe). Details and an expanded discussion of these hazards can be found at PUSHMATIC - BULLDOG PANELS. If I understand your photo, you are pointing (your dangerously close bare fingers made me nervous) to a pair of split-main breakers, an arrangement that lacks a common internal trip or external trip tie. This design would allow one side of the panel to be switched off while leaving the other side "on". For main disconnects, (using 2002 NEC as an example) NEC 408.16 Overcurrent Protection. [This means that no main is required in the panel if the feeder wires to the panel are protected ahead of the panel itself - that is, in effect there is a separate main breaker ahead of the panel, but there are then separation distance constraints between these switches.] Your photo shows an electrical panel that uses two main breakers so by my understanding, on this point it would be acceptable. Further, this particular Pushmatic main breaker design is not visually ambiguous - that is, switching off one side of the panel would not make it look as if both are off. More discussion about paired or common trip tie or handle tied circuit breakers:Some experts (http://ecmweb.com) aptly point out that even if a circuit breaker pair could be connected by a common handle (not possible in this Pushmatic case) the level of protection is not the same as that provided by two-pole or double-pole circuit breakers with a common internal trip tie mechanism. A handle-only connection in some designs may leave one breaker "on" and the other "off" - a dangerous condition because of the chance of fooling the electrician or homeowner into thinking that all electrical power is off when it is not. Common internal trip ties would be required by NEC 240.20(B) for example on a multiwire branch circuit because that code paragraph requires that "... the circuit breaker shall open all ungrounded conductors of the circuit." Tandem circuit breakers (two breakers powering two circuits fit into a single original breaker slot in a panel) also trip together. Separately, NEC also permits a maximum of six disconnects to turn off all power in an electrical panel. We encounter this condition usually in sub-panels or branch panels. If the sub panel contains more than 6 breakers (and is remote from the main switch) it needs to have its own main switch. NEC 230.71 Maximum Number of Disconnects. Reader follow-up:Thank you for your in-depth review and explanation of the issues encountered at this panel box. [...] and I will revisit these issues with this client. Your comments also prompted me to read other related issues on main panel boxes that were posted on your website. - D.B. 1/24/2014 Reply:About your finger near that Pushmatic breaker, I know you were smart enough not to electrocute yourself. As a publisher/editor I have to worry about risks to a casual reader, a careless homeowner, or someone who just lacks respect for electricity. The chance that someone else will fail to understand that they need to be careful when inspecting electrical panels is a worry that leads me take opportunity to point out shock hazards where I can see them. Even though at home inspections I habitually stood blocking my inspection client from direct access to the electrical panel as I examined that component, I once had a client reach right over my shoulder and stick his finger right into a live fuse socket while asking "What the heck is this!" The results were exciting. And at a home inspection training seminar we had an electrician tell newbie home inspectors how to inspect the electrical panel by saying "Well the first thing you wanna do is grab a-holt of each of the entry main wires just above where they come into the main breaker - and give them a good shake!" I could just imagine that with that fool statement he had probably killed one or two of the fellows in the room, sending 240 volts right through their hearts. ...

Re: do you carry an acoustic Guitar?
No problem with my acoustic guitar yet! I have the Cordoba C5 guitar and it is in it's gig bag... the guitar has never had a problem or issues with the neck or having to constantly retune and I've had it 9 months here in Seattle. I do put the guitar in a plastic bag and seal tight when I'm away from the boat for any period of time exceeding one week... other than that I think it's a non issue just don't bring your more 'fine' guitars into the boat... my biggest fear is banging the guitar against rails, seats, bulkheads, etc.... so far I haven't gotten a single dent or scratch due to it being in the boat so I'm very happy at this time.

Skip Maine state header navigation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 17, 2009 Contact: Matthew Dunlap 626-8400
AUGUSTA, Maine—Secretary of State Matt Dunlap reminded motorists today that the cost of restoring a suspended license or registration in Maine will go up significantly on July 1st following action taken by the Maine Legislature. This increase applies to all restorations on or after July 1st.
Chapter 213 of the Laws of Maine, 2009 includes a provision to raise from $35 to $50 the fee to reinstate a suspended driver's license or vehicle registration. "While this was done in the state budget, it would be wrong to assume this is purely a revenue generator," Dunlap said. "The Legislature has grappled with these policy issues for a long time, and felt it was appropriate to send a strong message about the responsibility of drivers to behave safely in order to keep their driving privileges intact." Dunlap noted that all policies that affect state revenues must be accounted for in the final state budget.
"Despite all the work that has been done to toughen our laws and increase penalties, these dangerous activities persist at unacceptable levels," Dunlap said. "By increasing the cost of reinstating a suspended license or registration, no one should expect light treatment if they choose to engage in dangerous or illegal behavior."

BALTIMORE, Md. -- It's not merely that there's a meritocratic strain to the way UFC middleweight Luke Rockhold talks about his career. A basic sense of fairness, responsibility and legitimate athletic accomplishment underpins Rockhold's entire view of career ascension and achievement. This isn't hugely novel as a worldview for elite fighters. Many, if not most, publicly clamor for wins in fights that can legitimize them as much as possible. They all typically wish to showcase skill to dazzle and read news >>

This twist on classic pesto swaps arugula for basil, making a peppery sauce that goes nicely with toasted pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes. For something extra, grate a little pecorino or Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
What to buy: Sun-dried tomatoes come packed dry or in oil and can be found in most grocery stores. Here we use tomatoes packed in oil because they give more flavor than their dry counterparts (which need to be reconstituted before using).
- 1Cook pasta according to the directions on the package.
- 2Meanwhile, combine arugula, garlic, lemon juice, and half of the pine nuts in a food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil and process until evenly blended, about 2 minutes. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and process again to blend in seasoning.
- 3Drain pasta and return to the pot (but do not return to heat). Add arugula pesto, remaining pine nuts, and sun-dried tomatoes and mix until evenly combined. Serve immediately.
Beverage pairing: Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina, Italy. Falanghina is a greenish-gold wine from southern Italy with lovely hints of pear, lemon, and fresh herbs, making it a savory delight and an excellent match for pastas and vegetables. This one is somewhat richer in body than most, which makes it a nice contrast for a light, summery pasta.

Toyota Tacoma By Ron Kiino
WE LIKE: The modernized cabin and Entune infotainment system.
WE DON'T LIKE: What's with the subpar brake feel, lack of power, and so-so mpg?
Through October 2011, Toyota sold nearly 89,000 examples of its Tacoma compact pickup, making it far and away the hottest seller in its segment. The next hottest? The Ford Ranger, which, at 57,058 sold, seems comparably icy to the scalding Toyota. In fact, within the struggling, relatively diminutive compact-truck field, the Tacoma accounts for about 37 percent of all sales, which means Toyota is struggling the least. And consider this: The Honda Ridgeline, our 2006 Truck of the Year, sold just 7356 units through October. Ouch.
Let's not forget that the aforementioned Tacoma sales are not representative of the truck seen here, the freshened 2012 model that went on sale last fall. Although this updated 2012 appears very similar to the 2011, it nonetheless boasts new front styling, a reworked interior, and improved audio systems, including Toyota's Entune. So while Toyota didn't make monumental changes to its compact, the truth is, it didn't really need to, as the Tacoma has the sales to prove it's top in class. Still, to be Truck of the Year, to really raise the bar, even in a stagnant field of aged entries, the Tacoma needed to take major, not minor, action.
I'm referring mostly to the Tacoma's hardware. As in years past, the Tacoma soldiers on with a 2.7-liter, 159-horsepower I-4 paired to a five-speed manual or four-speed auto, and a 4.0-liter, 236-horse V-6 teamed to a six-speed manual or five-speed auto. Cab configurations remain regular, access, and double, and drive options stay two- or four-wheel drive. Nothing new here.
Our test example was a $34,635(as tested) Double Cab 4x4 V-6 with the $4145 TRD Off-Road Package, which added Bilstein dampers, an electronically controlled locking rear differential, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and such off-road wizardry as Hill Start Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control. During evaluation, the Tacoma was lauded for its manageable, easy-to-maneuver size as well as its excellent seating position and ergonomics. Sad to say, we didn't like much more. The great seating position failed to rub off on the seat comfort, which most deemed too soft and unsupportive. The interior, otherwise well-laid-out and attractive, was dinged for cheap-feeling materials that lent a "Corolla build at a Camry price" sensation.
While quick when given full throttle (0-60 in 7.4 seconds and the quarter mile in 15.9 at 85.7 mph), the Tacoma felt lethargic under normal driving. "You have to have the thing floored constantly to get it to go anywhere," says Febbo. And when we conducted payload and trailer testing, the Tacoma felt the most hampered and affected. Noted Lieberman, "Power feels like it's been halved and the vibrations seem to have increased fivefold." Jurnecka observed: "This is the only truck in the group that I feel like I need to drive very gingerly with payload in the bed."
The only participant with rear drum brakes, the Toyota also exhibited poor, grabby brake feel as well as the noise of stepping on a soaked sponge whenever applying initial pressure to the pedal. Then there's the Tacoma's fuel economy: Its EPA rating of 16/21 mpg city/highway is marginally worse than that of the F-150 EcoBoost, which weighs 1357 pounds more.
The current-generation Tacoma debuted for 2005 and won our coveted Truck of the Year prize. Seven years later, Toyota hasn't made any significant changes, save for a revised front end and interior that do little to save the day. Toyota's small trucks used to blow the competition away; now, they seem OK with simply being one of the best. Maybe when the Tacoma gets its swagger back, and nets livelier, more fuel-efficient powertrains, it'll fare better.

What the Greek Result Means for the British Election
The Greek elections really show that politics can generate interest and excitement. In their hearts, electorates really want their Governments to govern and to do things. It may suit Nick Clegg to try for honesty with the electorate about can and cannot be achieved by Government but Greece shows that sometimes they want dynamism and action.

Richard Desmond's newspapers were unusually quiet on Tuesday about the opening day of the Leveson inquiry. While the other papers covered the good lord's opening gambit, Monkey could not see a whisper of it in the Daily Star or Express. Desmond's Express and Star titles flounced out of the Press Complaints Commission at the start of the year, an absence that is seen as catastrophic for the industry's self-regulatory regime as it finds itself in the spotlight during Leveson. And there was no sign of Desmond – or anyone from his company Northern & Shell – at the Society of Editors conference either. Monkey wonders if perhaps, after his recent interview in the Guardian in which he said "Dacre goes out slagging me off; he can go fuck himself", they were worried about bumping into the Daily Mail editor in chief.

Carlos A. (Bronx, NYC): I felt the Mosley should have gotten a squeaker against Mora, but again, us fans were disgusted in the end. What do you think is behind this bizarre decision and what do you think Mosley's future looks like? Vivek W. (ESB): I learned a long time ago that there's strength in numbers. What I saw happen last Saturday night solidified that reality in more ways than one. It's not my job to change minds, as my perspective is my perspective, and only my perspective, but what I will say is that I wonder would the average fight fan truly feel the way they do today had the HBO crew and Harold Lederman not been so pro-Mosley? What many fight fans don't take into consideration is that the ringside judges scoring the fight have angles that vary in a huge way from the one you may have on your flat-screen at home; and also, they're swayed very little by the broadcasting team because they don't hear them like you do. What they hear is the many ooh's and ahhh's in the arena, and in this case, oddly enough, the chants weren't always too much of a pro-Mosley variety, despite him being the bigger name in the ring. What made it even more difficult to narrow down from a scoring standpoint was that Mora didn't look particularly motivated, and Shane didn't look particularly good at all, either, so nothing was truly clear and concise. Mosley would land something nasty in the midst of a 20-punch flurry combination that only hit air, and Mora didn't land anything nasty too often, but when he let his hands go he was hitting his target far easier than Mosley was. The only thing about this fight that was crystal clear to me was that Mosley has officially "lost". Now, when I say Mosley "lost", obviously he didn't lose the fight itself, but in the aftermath, it's no secret that he "lost" everything else. He literally devalued himself! He "lost" at the box office, as I'd be completely shocked to learn that any more than 350K people actually shelled out for that fight, 80% of which were probably in California somewhere. He "lost" his mega-money potential for the future, as his past reputation precedes him enough to take him from contention with anyone who has any upside worth exploring, (hence Bob Arum's immediate stance that Mosley wouldn't be considered to get a shot at Pacquiao). Those two things were damaging enough, but the biggest thing he seemed to have "lost", evidenced by the final scorecards, was the benefit of the doubt in the minds of the judges. Some hinted at this back when he fought Cotto, but that result was widely considered tough, but fair. In this case, Mora has never been close to the level of Mosley, yet in an era where it's custom to say "you have to take it from a champ", or "you have to become legend to defeat a legend (on the cards)", we saw a 'contender' eek his way into a draw that few felt he should have gotten. Prior to the fight, a fellow friend/fight fan told me that this would be "De la Hoya/Forbes all over again". The irony here is that in that fight, the lesser known man did enough to make it questionable, yet here, one could argue that it nearly went the other way because the more-known man did very little to actually remove question. I spoke a moment ago of things that Mosley has "lost", and in hindsight, perhaps I should add his mystique and reputation, because nothing about him last Saturday night gives reason to fear. I've been a fan of his talent from day one, but I'm afraid the time has come. We love you man.....but it's time to look at life away from Boxing. You've won enough, and now you're losing more. Don't let it result in a loss of respect, too! Just somethin' to think about! Hector U. (Hallandale Beach, FL): Victor Ortiz seems to be the 'dark horse' in the jr. welterweight 140lb division. I think he's actually poised enough to fight with the bigger names. Do you think he could be an unlikely last man standing when the smoke clears? Vivek W. (ESB): I must admit, I was pretty intrigued in Victor's victory, but I'd be the first to say these two things first: (1) Harris is no Khan, Alexander, Bradley, or Maidana. (2) No one ever questioned whether or not Ortiz had the talent, we questioned whether or not he had the heart! I thought it was a very strong performance, in the sense that he seemed more poised and more content to stick with the gameplan.....more disciplined. But that alone doesn't mean he'd have the same level of discipline when the opponent returns fire. In lamest terms, I want to see how Ortiz responds against someone who won't wilt under an early barrage of fire. One of the reasons that my respect for Amir Khan has grown immensely is because he stood in a place far darker than Ortiz has ever been - KO'd in the 1st round against a man few people knew - and he immediately dusted himself off, jumped back on his horse, and never looked back. He didn't question whether or not he "should be getting beat up this way". He took that loss and all the misery it encompassed and turned that pain into a passion to never feel that way again! Today, he's right back in the thick of things and remains at the top of the heap. Ortiz has put together a few victories, but while some would argue with Khan's level of competition as well, those opponents he (Khan) has faced bring a bit more to the table than the ones we've seen Ortiz face, post Maidana. So, to answer your question, it's still a bit early to say that Ortiz could be a "dark horse" when the smoke clears. He has the speed, the punch, and the smile, but that only hits the spot in Hollywood. This isn't Hollywood. It's reality television in every sense of the word. So much of a reality that Ortiz had better understand there may be no second chance to solidify his first impression. Stay tuned. Ranel I. (San Diego, CA): What is your honest opinion of Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez? Vivek W. (ESB): You know, I continue to get criticized at every turn for saying this, but truthfully, this young man is thee most intriguing new fighter to watch in the sport for me right now! He really is! I'm not so sure why so many people are so critical of him, and although I can respect their positions, I want to remind those that feel this way of a few facts that may help them appreciate him a bit more. When we look at today's rising crop, we see Alexander, Bradley, Khan, Gamboa, JuanMa, Maidana, and a few others. When we look at that group, what's the big knock most have on every last one of them? Too many questions. YOU HAVE ZERO IDEA HOW THEY WILL RESPOND WHEN THEY GET A 'LIVE' OPPONENT IN THEIR FACE WHO WILL BANG WITH THEM AND NOT STOP UNTIL THE LAST BELL SOUNDS! Alexander and Khan are widely considered the most talented of the bunch, but this question remains relevant to them as well. Bradley has a ton of heart, but against a slow Abregu, we saw him look a little leery in spots. Gamboa, great skills, but has a knack for touching the canvas, and JuanMa, great power, visibly deficient stamina and can be hurt, as well. Some may argue with the resume of Alvarez, but you know what, you've got to start somewhere, and what he just did to both Jose Cotto and Baldomir, (who has a chin like a piece of steel), was nothing short of scintillating! The kid comes to fight every single night, and I don't give a damn how much of a banger the man in front of him is, he uses a certain level of skill and power to break him down with no fear while doing it. What I find really interesting about him is that he doesn't have the prototypical Mexican style, either. He has the great Mexican toughness, but far more. He actually has a set of intriguing skills, and his heart is amazing. People have to realize, this young man is 19. 19, people! I can't speak for everyone, but I can firmly say that I understand why the great people of Mexico are so high on this lad. I'm a believer! Soon enough, I think many of you will be too! Just keep watching. Jazz H. (Atlanta, GA): Do you think that Mosley has looked so lackluster lately because he's now forced to fight clean for the first time in a while? Vivek W. (ESB): I continue to hear this notion, and while I can't use facts to defend him against those who make this point, I will say that I think it's a bit tasteless to say that this is the case. I think it's a bit comical for some to begin to say that this decline in Shane's ability is based on him "finally fighting clean", yet we continue to call fighters like Morales (34), Barrera (36), and Marquez (37), old, and question their same decline in the ring based on countless wars, despite them being far younger than Shane. I am fully aware of the cloud hovering over Mosley because of the whole Balco/Victor Conte scenario, but the reality is that this is a man who has simply began to age like the rest of us. I have zero idea relative to the specifics surrounding Mosley's usage, but neither do you! And based on that, I won't contribute to the effort to kick someone while they're obviously down. Stress can zap energy more than anything, and this is a man who recently had his family fall apart, and loss one of (if not thee) biggest fights of his career only a few months ago. The anxiety relative to public pressure, the personal life scenario's, and many other things contribute, but the biggest reason we see what we see in Mosley is age. The man is a future hall-of-famer, but no one can do it forever. I won't comment on what I think about this being the "first time he has had to fight clean in a while" because what I think doesn't matter, and neither would it be the truth. Only Shane, God, and those close to them know the reality here. My choice is to respect that.....I think that should be your choice too!

Celtic captain Scott Brown was stretchered off during his team's 1-1 draw with Rapid Vienna in Austria.
The midfielder pulled up inside the first minute of the pre-season friendly after an innocuous challenge from an opponent as he controlled a bouncing ball.
Brown held the back of his upper leg and had his right knee strapped into the stretcher as he was taken off.
Celtic later tweeted: "The captain is still being assessed by the club's medical staff and the extent of the injury is not yet known."
The injury will be of major concern to new manager Ronny Deila ahead of Celtic's Champions League qualification campaign, which begins against KR Reykjavik in Iceland on July 15.
Celtic fought back for a draw after their Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk headed into his own net in the seventh minute following a free-kick.
Substitute Teemu Pukki levelled with 20 minutes left after converting a Leigh Griffiths cross at the second attempt.
The match was the last ever at the Gerhard Hanappi Stadium, which is being knocked down to make way for a new stadium for Rapid.
