Removable Storage
[Ref: fstab | mount(8) | mount_cd9660(8) | FAQ 14 - Disk Setup ]
(e.g. CD Drives, External Drives, etc.)
I have always needed access to either the USB Port, or CDR when configuring or maintaining an OpenBSD host. In many cases, my installation is by using boot media (bootable CDR) and after the installation I have/share files using the CDR. To simplify the installation process (low bandwidth people) I need to configure access to my CD-ROM drive. Use this guide for identifying and using detachable media storage devices.
OpenBSD understands storage devices in at least two layers, the physical device and the logical layout of how files are to be stored and retrieved from the device.
- The physical device needs software (device drivers?) to understand how to manipulate the device.
- Another software layer (filesystem) is used to work with the 'standard' used for storing and retrieving files.
As such, two things need to be done before we can use our removable storage devices.
- Identify Device (Controller, Filesystem)
- Connect Filesystem
We need to identify how OpenBSD has recognised the storage device (in this context, which device controller and what filesystem is recognisable on the device), and with that knowledge we can then connect to the filesystem on the device.
Identify the Device and any recognisable filesystem on that device.
Identify Device
Two basic methods are available to determine what removable devices you connected to your host. The first, uses, dmesg seems the shortest path. The 'dmesg' lists all detected/identified devices. In general the devices are identified by the vendor and the device ports are generally (cdXY) where XY is the Drive unit (0~999) partition (a-m).
dmesg | less
cat /var/run/dmesg.boot
CD drives are often detected as device cd# (like cd0 or cd1). dmesg(1) is a command-line program in OpenBSD that lists boot-time information (such as what OpenBSD detects as devices on your system during startup.) less(1) is another command-line program, this program lets you browse through a file by using space (next page) up-arrow, down-arrow, and "q" for quit.
dmesg displays the contents of the system message buffer. It is most commonly used to review system startup messages.
Identify Filesystem
[Ref: disklabel ]
Knowing the device driver connected to the storage device, we can now use disklabel to peek at what filesystems on the device OpenBSD can recognise.
Connect File System
[Ref: fstab mount(8) newfs(8)]
After identifying the device driver and filesystem that contains the files, we need to determine:
- 'mount point' where on our existing filestructure to connect the storage devices' filesystem, and
- 'mount' connect that filesystem (requires knowledge of the filesystem 'standard' used on the device.
Files stored on a CD or DVD are usually stored using a standard called ISO 9660, some DVDs may use a later standard UDF. These standards have any OpenBSD related filesystem (mount_cd9660(8), mount_udf(8)) for reading and writing
My USB Memory Sticks are generally formatted on MS Windows hosts
in the MSDOS FAT16/FAT32 format which is supported by OpenBSD
mount_msdos(8) for physical file transfer between
these different Operating Systems.
Mount Points
The required connection 'point' on our existing file system tree where we can connect an remote/external filesystem, is "an existing directory"
In practise, many OpenBSD systems I've seen use the generic path
as the mount point for connecting filesystems. It should already exist on your new installation, or can be created as the 'root' user such as below:
# mkdir /mnt
The term for connecting the remote/external filesystem to the host filesystem is to 'mount'
The **mount** command invokes a file system specific program to prepare and graft the *special* device or remote node (rhost:path) on to the file sys- tem tree at the point *node*. If either *special* or *node* are not provided the appropriate information is taken from the fstab(5) file.
Since we are mounting a filesystem, and not the physical device, we generally find that the device is divided into physical segments called 'partitions' and these separate partitions may contain different filesystems.
CDROMs are simple, in that they generally have the filesystem on partition 'a' or 'c'
An example of getting at files on a CDR, on a device identified at /dev/cd0 would look something like this.
# mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0c /mnt
Mount is told the filesystem is ISO 9660 (cd9660) on the device /dev/cd0, in partition 'c' and to connect it to the existing directory '/mnt'
The following are examples of identifying, and then connecting to the storage that has those files you need access to.
First, are examples of identifying the device driver managing the storage device, and then the filesystem on that device.
After more years of misadventure, and the basic system above working, it seems that I haven't been doing it correctly, and there's a better way of discovering and mounting attached storage devices(e.g. hard-disks, flash-disks etc.)
As per previous discussions, 'dmesg' is our friend for discovering information about devices recognised/detected by the OpenBSD Kernel. When you plug a new device onto an OpenBSD box, it is either recognised at startup or recognised at insertion time. Use 'dmesg' to find out how it has been recognised.
/var/run/dmesg.boot contains the dmesg at boot time.
[Reference System: iwill motherboard with ATAPI IDE CD, SCSI CDR and SCSI Zip drive]
I have 2 CDROM Drives in this machine, and a SCSI card with external storage connected to it. dmesg output includes the following that have descriptions that describe storage devices.

We discover the following:
- cd0 is attached to an E-IDE CDROM Drive
- cd1 is attached to my Plextor CDR Drive
- sd0 is attached to a 96MB Drive, and
- fd0 is attached to my floppy drive

We discover that the device is recognised at 'sd0'
Not surprising discovery, since I only have one USB port on Soekris Net4801.
The point being, that finding exactly which device is attached, is not a difficult ornerous job.
With the above devices connected, we can use disklabel to determine the filesystem(s) on a device.
[ Device: Generic USB Thumbdrive 2GB on at sd0 ]
disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0c: 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 4062208 0 unused i: 4062145 63 MSDOS
We've discovered partition 'c' as the marker for all of the device, and partition 'i' is an MSDOS partition.
[ Device: Generic Micro-SD 'Nokia' 128 MB ]
disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0c: 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 240912 63 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 c: 248320 0 unused
We've discovered partition 'c' as the marker for all of the device, and partition 'a' is a 4.2BSD partition.
[ Device: External USB Chassis with Samsung 3.5" HDD 120GB ]
disklabel sd0
# /dev/rsd0c: 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 234441648 0 unused i: 234436608 2048 NTFS
We've discovered partition 'c' as the marker for all of the device, and partition 'i' is an NTFS partition.
Of the three sample devices, 1 has the same file system used by OpenBSD (4.2BSD), 1 has an MSDOS partition, and 1 has an NTFS partition.
Connect File Systems
Mount Points
A mount point needs to be an existing directory on the host filesystem. If you only ever expect to use the CD/DVD on your host, or only ever one removable storage device, then maintain the /mnt convention.
For the sake of experimentation, and inserting/removing various storage devices, I create the mount points with the following logical structure:
# mkdir /mnt # mkdir /mnt/cdrom # mkdir /mnt/floppy
This provides a flexibility of one 'root' directory for removable storage.
[Ref: mount(2) ]
As per the manpage, the 'mount' program uses the -t (type) to indicate the file system type to be mounted (the default is FFS (aka 4.2BSD)
Sample invocations of mount to connect the partitions on the above noted drives when physically connected include:
[ Device: Generic USB Thumbdrive 2GB - MSDOS]
mount -t msdos /dev/sd0i /mnt
[ Device: Generic Micro-SD 'Nokia' 128 MB - 4.2BSD]
mount -t ffs /dev/sd0a /mnt
[ Device: External USB Chassis with Samsung 3.5" HDD 120GB - NTFS]
Mounting NTFS partitions isn't supported in the GENERIC kernel, basically implying that you don't want to connect to the partition. Plug the drive into a proper NTFS box, and transfer the files through some other means.
Retained Information
The Filesystem Table fstab(8) is a configuration setting that is used to retain Filesystem information between system restarts. Most commonly, you will find in fstab(8) the device/partition and mount point information for the installed OpenBSD.
In fstab(8) we can set device/partition/filesystems that are mounted at startup, and we can also add device/partition/filesystem configurations so that we do not need to specify complete details for mount to connect the device/partition to our filesystem.
A basic install may bring up something like the below in your fstab file:
|| Need some sample here ||
The CDROM drive is normally always connected to the host, and is automatically detected by the kernel at each boot, likewise whenever media is inserted the kernel is notified by the device driver. But, the device and mount points are not automatically configured (mounted) because of the uncertainty of whether a valid media or filesystem exists.
Using the above example CDROM drives, we could add the following to our fstab file.
# device mount-point filesystem mount_options check-priority pass-number /dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/cd1a /mnt/cdr cd9660 rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/sd0c /mnt/zip msdos rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0a /mnt/floppy msdos rw,noauto 0 0
Included in the above example, is an example configuration for a floppy disk device (assuming /dev/fd0 is the controller and /dev/fd0a is the a drive.) I specify msdos file format since I mostly work with msdos floppy drives (Winx) and have no need to transfer any other format floppies.
With the above example, I can insert a CDR into my Plextor and if it's not a blank CDR, mount the filesystem with the following command-line:
# mount /mnt/cdr

Ethnic density effects on birth outcomes and maternal smoking during pregnancy in the US linked birth and infant death data set
Shaw, Richard J., Pickett, Kate E. and Wilkinson, Richard G. (2010) Ethnic density effects on birth outcomes and maternal smoking during pregnancy in the US linked birth and infant death data set. American Journal of Public Health, 100, (4), 707-713. (doi:10.2105/AJPH.2009.167114 ). (PMID:20167891).
Full text not available from this repository.
Objectives. We investigated whether mothers from ethnic minority groups have better pregnancy outcomes when they live in counties with higher densities of people from the same ethnic group—despite such areas tending to be more socioeconomically deprived.
Methods. In a population-based US study, we used multilevel logistic regression analysis to test whether same-ethnic density was associated with maternal smoking in pregnancy, low birthweight, preterm delivery, and infant mortality among 581 151 Black and 763 201 Hispanic mothers and their infants, with adjustment for maternal and area-level characteristics.
Results. Higher levels of same-ethnic density were associated with reduced odds of infant mortality among Hispanic mothers, and reduced odds of smoking during pregnancy for US-born Hispanic and Black mothers. For Black mothers, moderate levels of same-ethnic density were associated with increased risk of low birthweight and preterm delivery; high levels of same ethnic density had no additional effect.
Conclusions. Our results suggest that for Hispanic mothers, in contrast to Black mothers, the advantages of shared culture, social networks, and social capital protect maternal and infant health.

Gas prices are on the rise well in advance of the summer travel season
By Cheril Lee
Omaha, NE – Creighton University assistant professor of economics Dr. John Deskins says political unrest in the Middle East is driving up gas prices across the country.
He says uncertainty regarding the future of crude oil supplies is driving up the prices of oil futures and that translates into higher gas prices. Dr. Deskins says the regular price of gas has gone up several cents already and he thinks the increases will likely continue, especially as summer approaches, "it's always the case that when summer gets here, people drive more, if they go on vacation, etcetera. That's another factor that drives up oil prices. So there's a lot of uncertainty in regards to the Middle East supply issue. But we know for certain that prices will be going up with summer travel, when that gets underway."
According to AAA's daily fuel gauge report, the average price for a gallon of regular gas in Nebraska is $3.41.

Bush Signs Global
'Anti-Semitism' Law
, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush said he had signed into law a bill requiring the State Department to monitor global anti-Semitism and rate countries annually on their treatment of Jews.
"This nation will keep watch; we will make sure that the ancient impulse of anti-Semitism never finds a home in the modern world," Bush said as he campaigned in the key battleground state of Florida. The state's Jewish population is the third largest in the world after Israel and New York.
The US State Department had opposed the legislation, saying it was unnecessary as the department already compiles such information in its annual reports on human rights and religious freedom.
"Extending freedom also means disrupting the evil of anti-Semitism," Bush told thousands of cheering supporters packed into a sports arena usually used by the Florida Panthers professional ice hockey team.
"Today, I signed the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004. This law commits the government to keep a record of anti-Semitic acts throughout the world, and also a record of responses to those acts," he said.
Florida is the richest haul among the battleground states expected to decide the November 2 presidential election, with 27 electoral college votes out of the 270 needed to win.
Jewish voters are thought to favor Democrats historically, but the Bush campaign hopes that his strong support for Israel and aggressive outreach efforts could win a majority of Florida's sizeable Jewish community.
The State Department had drawn fire for its position from Jewish groups -- which wield significant political power especially during a presidential election year -- and in September, more than 100 prominent Americans signed a letter to US Secretary of State Colin Powell saying that stance was "wrong."
"The fight against anti-Semitism deserves specific, focused attention," said the letter which was signed by former Republican vice presidential nominee Jack Kemp and ex-UN ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick among others.
The bill, known as the Global Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, was introduced by California Democratic Representative Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor in the US Congress, in response to recent acts of anti-Semitism in Europe and the Middle East.
Jewish groups have hailed passage of the bill which they said provided a new avenue to fight anti-Semitism.
Under the legislation, the State Department will have to produce an annual report on anti-Semitism around the world and form a specific office headed by a special envoy to document anti-Semitic abuses and design strategies to combat them.
It requires the department to document acts of physical violence against Jews, their property, cemeteries and places of worship abroad, as well as local governments' responses to them and take note of instances of anti-Jewish propaganda and governments' readiness to promote unbiased school curricula.
By tradition, Bush, who signed the legislation on his official Air Force One jet on his way to Florida, will treat the law's requirements more like strong advice and guiding principles because of the separation of powers.

Who are you afraid of more? The Jihadies or the Jewish lobby?
The next question to ask them is 'who is more dangerous to us...in terms of the damage they have already inflicted, and could inflict in the future...the Jihadies or the Jewish Lobby terrorists?' Who is our press, our politicians, and academicians more afraid of being targeted by?' Do they know anyone personally who has been taken out by the Jihadies?...how many do they know who have been taken out by the Lobby?...and what was the public reaction to that?'

• Overturned truck closes road... |
• Wadley working towards new city hall |
• Officers raid two Louisville residences, seize drugs |
• Electric co-op celebrates 75 years |
By Faye Ellison
Highway 296 near Stone Springfield AME Church was closed at either side because of a wreck involving an 18-wheeler late Tuesday morning. Georgia State Patrol Senior Trooper Stan Powell said a call came into the GSP about 11:30 a.m. The driver, identified as 39-year-old Grayson Leroy Lampp from Soperton, ran off the road on the right side and after returning to the roadway the truck landed on its right side and skidded 62 feet, Powell said. "He went completely off the right side of the roadway," the trooper said. Diesel along the skid on the roadway could indicate the fuel tank was compromised, he said. "It may have been ruptured," Powell said, adding it might be only a slight rupture.

"You'd expect more diesel," he said. The trooper said the accident is still under investigation. Charges against the driver would depend on the cause of the accident, Powell said. One of the tires under the trailer had blown. One of the first officers to arrive on the scene said Lampp had already gotten out of the cab of the vehicle and tried to stand. "He was injured pretty bad," the officer said. Lampp was taken by ground to Jefferson Hospital and was expected to be airlifted to Georgia Health Sciences University in Augusta. Maj. Carl Wagster, EMS director for Jefferson County, said Lampp had severe lacerations. "He went through the windshield and sustained a lot of trauma. Possible facial fracture, a lot of lacerations, a dislocated shoulder," Wagster said.

The City of Wadley held a public hearing last month regarding the building of a new city hall.
Wadley working towards new city hall
Staff Writer
Carol DeLoach with the CSRA Regional Commission said the city is seeking a loan for $694,000 to help with the costs of building a new facility.
The current city hall has water damage and mold, she said.
"The floor is compromised. The ceiling is compromised," DeLoach said.
The plan involves the site of the multipurpose building and calls for the building to be gutted, renovated and have an addition.
"The new facility will duplicate all the space that is here," she said. "Office space, council chambers. The council chambers will be used for municipal court."
There will be space for public works and a conference room.
The addition will cross the park entrance, which will be rerouted, DeLoach said.
"There will still be paved access to the park," she said.
Wadley city clerk Sallie Adams said there will be separate access into the council chamber so members and the public won't have to go through city hall as they do now.
"It is a process," DeLoach said. "It has an application process. We have all but one of the criteria met. We need one more document. Because it's a government entity and federal funds you have to explore other options."
We need one more document. Because it's a government entity and federal funds you have to explore other options."
DeLoach said other options the city had to explore included local, municipal and private funds.
"You've got to be in that classification of folks, not sitting on $1 million," she said. "Not able for private funding but able to repay the loan; and, Wadley meets all those. It is well positioned to apply for this funding."
Mayor Herman Baker said there will be a space the public can use like the community room.
Council discussed the city hall Monday night, during a called meeting.
Adams said the vote for the city hall was last year.
"You borrow the whole amount," she said, adding the loan is to be repaid from SPLOST funds.
"SPLOST is going to pay a portion of it," she said. Adams said about $300,000 will come from SPLOST.
Council member Dorothy Strowbridge said she would like to see work done to the old school.
"The building is an historical building," she said and suggested the city look into getting a grant to renovate the building.
"It could even be used for the city hall," she said, adding it would cost a lot less than the approximately $700,000 the city plans to borrow.
"We can look into rehabbing the school; but, the city hall's been decided," Baker said. Adams then explained the vote was taken last year.
"Go ahead and look into rehabbing the school," the mayor said. "The only thing we're having up there now is the GED class."
Strowbridge said she would look into it and get back with the mayor.

Cooperation between the Louisville Police Department and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office netted three arrests, and has taken several ounces of drugs off of the city's streets.
Officers raid two Louisville residences, seize drugs
Staff Writer
Ruff charged
On Wednesday, April 11, law enforcement served a search warrant at 401 Mill Street from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.
"In the last year, it had become known that Anthony Ruff was selling marijuana," Sheriff's Office Investigator Clark Hiebert said.
Hiebert said that Ruff, 27, of Louisville was arrested last year by the Wadley Police Department and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, for which he was currently on bond.
"Probably about a week prior, we heard that he was selling marijuana again and in large amounts," Hiebert divulged. "He had graduated to selling these large amounts of marijuana and that is when we decided to get together with the Louisville Police Department and pay him a visit."
Hiebert said when officers arrived at the Mill Street residence, Ruff was not at home.
"We talked to his fiancé and she said he was out," Hiebert added.
Other law enforcement officers had left the home, while Hiebert stayed behind.
"I was going to stay in there till he came home," he said. "When he came in, I identified myself and had already found the marijuana before he got there."
Once officers talked with Ruff, he led them to the rest of the drugs. The suspected marijuana totaled six ounces. Ruff was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He has been before the magistrate judge, where he was denied bond because he was already out on bond for the same offense.
Along with the marijuana that was seized, $769 was also seized.
"Possession with intent is a felony," Hiebert explained. "Dependent on the grade of marijuana, those six ounces could bring anywhere up to $12,000, but I am are not sure of the quality."
Couple charged
A young Louisville couple have been under surveillance for quite some time stemming from reports of them selling cocaine, which began while they were living in Rufus Wren Subdivision.
In July, Clifford Outler, 27, and his girlfriend, Theondra Cooper, 22, moved to his mother's house at 505 Nina Lane in Louisville.
"Since they moved in with his mother, we continued to receive reports that they were selling cocaine," Hiebert said. "Officers at both departments were receiving complaints about the activity going on at their residence."
On Friday, April 13, between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., officers were headed to the residence to execute a search warrant, but before making it to the Nina Lane home, officers stopped Outler and Cooper in a car. They were taken to the residence where law enforcement executed the warrant at the house.
"We had both of them where we could watch them at all times while we searched," Hiebert reassured. "When we searched, we found a large amount of suspected crack cocaine in two locations in the house. We also found three electronic scales that had residue that was used to weigh the drugs."
More than an ounce of suspected crack cocaine was recovered as well as $336 that was seized.
"More than an ounce of cocaine is trafficking," Hiebert explained. "The weight is what changes the type of charge. If it is less than an ounce, it would be possession with intent to distribute. Any amount of cocaine is a felony."
The couple told Hiebert that they were not able to cook cocaine to make crack cocaine, but bought it already in the crack cocaine form. Both were charged with trafficking crack cocaine. The street value of the drugs found was approximately $5,000.
Outler and Cooper have both gone before the magistrate judge where they were denied bond. The couple will have to appeal for a bond hearing in Superior Court.
"The best thing about these raids is the cooperation between the city and county to get drugs off of the street," Hiebert said. "Because of city's and county's cooperation, these raids were successful."

It started with three people, an idea and a contract for $75,000 and grew into something that changed the lives of thousands.
Electric co-op celebrates 75 years
Seventy-five years ago, James Polhill, Judge Rufus Price and Virginia Price felt that an electricity cooperation was needed in the Jefferson County area, according to media representative Steve Chalker, with Jefferson Energy. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt had created the Rural Electrification Administration some years before, which led to the Rural Electrification Act. Out of the act, the Electric Membership Cooperatives were formed.
Polhill and the two Prices knew there was money available to start an electric cooperative. They applied for the money through the REA and were denied. As the story goes, said Chalker, Virginia Price knew Eleanor Roosevelt personally, so she picked up the phone and called her. She told the president's wife that they wanted to start a co-op and had been told there were no more funds available for the year. Then, according to the story, Eleanor Roosevelt invited the three of them to have dinner at the White House with the president, the REA administrator and herself.
"Out of that dinner, the REA man decided they did have some money they could provide them to start a co-op," said Chalker. "And that's how Jefferson Energy was created, although back then it was called something else."
Jefferson Energy was originally known as Jefferson County Electric Membership Cooperation. The name would change several times before it became Jefferson Energy in the late 1990s. The final name change came about when the company decided to try and expand its services to include natural gas, pagers, home security, internet service and satellite internet, said Chalker, some of which they still offer today.
According to archived copies of The News and Farmer found at the Jefferson County Courthouse, the idea of a cooperative electric company was first discussed at a meeting at the courthouse in 1937. The goal of the company was to bring electricity to rural Jefferson County and parts of Glascock and Washington counties. The idea was met with much enthusiasm and a survey of the territory was promptly made. A plat of the proposed project, together with a loan application, was then personally presented to the REA in Washington, D.C.
In July of 1937, the project was approved in its entirety, but only $75,000 of the $183,000 applied for could be allocated at the time. The rest of the funds would be provided after the beginning of 1938. The company received $75,000 and a contract for the first 75 miles, which were slated for letting on Dec. 17, 1937. It was hoped that the lines would be completed and energized by April 1, 1938, but Jefferson County did not have electricity until May 5, 1938.
It was hoped that the lines would be completed and energized by April 1, 1938, but Jefferson County did not have electricity until May 5, 1938.
"The first REA loan built the first 75 miles of line that we have in Jefferson County," said Chalker. "It would be about 10 times that now to do that much."
The News and Farmer officially announced it to the public on Feb. 3, 1938, with a headline across the top of the paper that stated, "Rural Electric Lines Assured in County." Construction of the 75 miles of line would begin on Feb. 7. Citizens were encouraged to pay the $5 membership fee and wire their homes for electricity.
On March 10, 1938, it was announced that 93 miles would be built instead of the original 75. At the end of that month, the REA approved 96 miles of line to be built.
On May 5, 1938, it was announced that the lines had been completed and the first 26 miles had been energized. Rural Jefferson County had electricity for the first time.
One Jefferson County citizen, Carolyn Zeigler, 79, recalls how having electricity changed the lives of people.
"Well you didn't have to go to bed so early," Zeigler said. "And you could enjoy the radio. We learned everything from the radio. We all learned our history and World War II, for real, from the radio."
Some parts of Jefferson County still did not have electricity until about a decade later. Local historian Leroy Lewis has lived in Jefferson County most of his life and said where he lived, they did not have electricity until 1948. Lewis grew up just north of Wrens on Highway 221, near Reedy and Brier creeks.
"I went through all of my school years without electricity," said Lewis. "In the evening time you had light by kerosene lamps. If you were reading, studying or writing an assignment you had to be positioned right under the lamp so you could see.
"When electricity came it was a whole new world in the evening. You could have adequate light in all rooms at the flip of the switch. It was very exciting."
In the years since then, Jefferson Energy has grown to serve 11 different counties, Jefferson, McDuffie, Burke, Emanuel, Glascock, Columbia, Jenkins, Johnson, Richmond, Warren and Washington. The company now has just less than 4,000 miles of power lines and serves almost 30,000 members in the 11-county area.
"We've grown quite a bit since those early days," said Chalker. "We operate at about 105 employees. We have four offices; but, we still operate with the same cooperative business model as we were founded on."
Chalker explained that the cooperative business model means members pay a membership fee to join the cooperative and they own the co-op. Members have a vote and every year they can go to a meeting and hear the financial details of the co-op. They have the power to elect board members and can talk to the board members because the board members represent the membership. Members can also bring their thoughts, ideas and concerns to staff members at Jefferson Energy to be addressed.
Chalker said that being an electric cooperation means the company is non-profit.
"Anything above and beyond operating cost of the co-op goes back to our members," said Chalker, explaining that the excess is returned in the form of capital credits. "That's one of the unique things about the co-op."
Chalker said one of the main concerns the cooperation has is power supply.
"Power supply is going to become more and more of an issue in the future because we live in such an electric world," said Chalker. "Phone chargers, computers, big-screen TVs, electric cars…
"Affordable power is always our goal. We want to make sure we position ourselves to be able to have the power that people need, meet the demand and we always try to keep it as affordable as possible."
The company's main goals have always been affordability, reliability, and to be efficient, safe and provide great service.
"We feel that we do that now," he said. "There is someone here 24/7."
There is always someone at the office to answer customer calls, mainly for outages. Jefferson Energy has the latest technology, which reports back as soon as an outage occurs.
"Most of the time we know before a customer calls that there is an outage," Chalker said.
The company has crews on call in each of its areas every day of the week, to serve its members as best it can.
"That's our goal, to just continually improve our service, whether it's through a process or new technology, that sort of thing, and we certainly strive to do that," he said.
The weather plays a large part in what the company does, which goes back to the need for power supply. In the summertime, when everyone is running air conditioners, there is a large demand for electricity.
"That's not just here, that's nationwide," said Chalker. "An obstacle that we have as an industry is the power supply, that's a huge thing."
According to Chalker, getting permits to build new power plants is a lengthy process that can be very difficult because so many people oppose various types of fuel.
"Whether it's coal or nuclear, you're always going to have opposition," he said. "Fact of the matter is, as an industry we have got to build power plants and invest in power plants so that, not just five years from now but 20 years or 30 years from now, we will have adequate power supply.
"You can't just look at a few years out. These new units going on at Plant Vogtle, that's very important. It is very important to increase that capacity."
A visit to the main branch office of Jefferson Energy, located on Highway 17 in Wrens, allows a look inside the history room. The room was originally built as a display room for products featured by Jefferson Energy, such as home security and water heaters.
"But it never really made it to that point," said Chalker.
A few years ago, Jefferson Energy representatives decided to turn the room into a tour of electrification. The room is filled with old appliances, such as an old toaster, an iron, a refrigerator, a washing machine and an old Singer sewing machine. All of the items are authentic and were donated to Jefferson Energy for the display room.
There is even an old home-front with a porch, which Chalker said was built by some of the people at Jefferson Energy. The wood used to build the porch and the display stands came from an old farmhouse that was once across the road from the Jefferson Energy office. A local artist from Augusta did four paintings that are on display in the room.
"When EMC programs started, they wanted people to have a two plug-in outlet and a light bulb," Chalker said, indicating a bare bulb that hangs from the ceiling in the room. "And that was a big thing because before then it was all kerosene lanterns and woodstoves."
"We always had a drop cord in the middle of the room," recalled Zeigler. "And we were thrilled to death to have that drop cord."
"They got electricity and people thought it would change the life of the farmer," said Chalker. "And it did."
Electricity also changed the life of the farm wife. Prior to electricity, the farm wife was virtually chained to the woodstove and a pot of boiling water for everything she wanted to do.
Zeigler can still remember her mother's first electric washing machine, similar to the one displayed in the history room at Jefferson Energy.
"I was probably in the second or third grade when we got it," she said. "It had a huge tub, with two rollers on top encased in some metal. The two rollers allowed you to pick up clothing in the tub, shake it out, turn on the rollers and they would press the water out of the clothing as you fed it through the rollers.
"The first thing you had to learn was to watch when you were pushing the wet clothing. I didn't watch, I was too busy looking at the other side to see it coming out and it rolled my arm up in it," Zeigler said with a laugh. "My mother had to detach the thing so I wouldn't end up getting sucked all the way in it."
Even being able to listen to a radio was as big a deal to them as the internet is now, as far as getting and finding information, Chalker said.
Lewis said even before electricity his family had a battery-operated radio.
"Everyone gathered around in the evenings and we all listened to it," he said. "We had news programs and Kate Smith had a program where she sang patriotic songs. We got our news from there, too, during World War II. I had three brothers in the Navy at the time so having that radio to get that instant news was very important. When it came news time, you really listened."
Having a radio was especially important for farmers.
"Before the radio we only had the newspaper but the information was very delayed by the time you got the paper out in the country," said Lewis. "With the radio, our weather came right out of Augusta. We knew if it was going to rain tomorrow or storm and we could plan our farm work accordingly."
"The whole point of this room is to let people see what life was like 75 years ago, in those early days of electricity," Chalker said of the history room.
Chalker said the cooperation would love to grow and get new members, like any company wants. Unfortunately, he said, with the economy like it is, there is not a lot of growth.
"People are cutting back and rightly so," he said. "Maybe folks aren't necessarily building that new house like they might have, but that's fine. We're going to be here and we're going to serve the members that we have as best that we can."

THQ core games boss Danny Bilson has teased the first details of Relic's Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War III instalment, revealing it 'combines I and II'. Well 1 + 2 does, in fact, equal 3. That's good math. While it's "going back" to the first two on some things it will give us something we "haven't seen before". There aren't any factual revelations from Bilson but his PR speak certainly ignites the imagination. "We're working on the next-generation of that franchise right now," he said. "I feel like an ass saying it's fantastic, but it is. And we're going to do something with it you haven't seen before," continued the THQ boss. "Preserving some things that have always been great about the first two generations of it, going back to 1 on some things, 2 on some things, and 3 will bring us some new things." "When you see it you're going to go, whoa. I promise." Dawn of War III is expected sometime between August 2012 and February 2013. THQ has a "big" announcement planned for this August at Gamescom alongside others. Do you hope that Dawn of War III's singleplayer campaign brings back base building? |

First Post, so go easy on me.
I just bought a used 6" Fabtech kit with Dirt Logic's for my 2011 Sport.
I knew going into it that there would be an issue with the VSC crap, but the price was right and I didn't have much time to research before snatching it.
After some searching here and fabtechs website for part numbers, I think I've figured out that the steering knuckles are different now (seem to be the only different part #).
Can anyone confirm this?
I'm sure I can order new Knuckles if so. Anyone have an idea on price?
If I'm totally out of luck, then I will just sell the kit to someone with a non-VSC equipped truck.
It looks rad sitting in my garage, so I hope I can make it work.

Full text not available from this repository.
Axisymmetric gyroelectric disk, ring, and composite resonator structures have been characterized for both InSb and GaAs semiconductors at 77 K. The calculations assume that these materials can be represented by the tensor permittivity derived from the Drude model of cyclotron motion in a plasma. Resonance and loss regions are identified and the sensitivity of normal mode splitting and onset frequencies to material and geometrical variables are graphed and tabulated. The information is presented in terms of signal frequency and the bias field to permit a direct comparison with results from ferrimagnetic structures. Semiconductor calculations show two extraordinary wave resonances and predict excellent symmetrical wide-band normal mode splitting. Field plots for the semiconductor disk and ring are included to explain coupled mode behavior between modes in different bias regions.

Use the Fiskars Fuse Creativity System® to die cut, die cut and emboss, and die cut and letterpress several flowers using a variety of cardstock colors with the Medium Design Set – Flower. Do the same with green cardstock and the Medium Design Set – Bird to create leaves for your floral bouquet.
Fold your floral wire in half. Layer two of your die cut flowers on top of one another and use your Fiskars 1/8" Circle Hand Punch to punch two holes ¼" apart in the center of your layered flowers. Thread the wire through a single button or stack of buttons, then down through the flowers. Twist the wire tightly on the underside of the flower and continue twisting to the ends of the wire.
Once you have a good amount assembled, group them together into two separate piles, making sure you have a good mix of colors in each group.
The size of your gift packaging will determine how long you'll want to leave the twisted wire stems. Regardless, the process is the same. Tightly wrap each bundle with a 12" length of clear tape, and then use your Fiskars Cuts+More Scissors to cut the stems down just below the tape.
Use the Border Design Set – Burst to create a paper ribbon to wrap around your gift wrap.
You can create any length you need by overlapping the flowers at each end and adhering them together. Adhere the bouquet to the center of your wrapped gift using clear tape. Adhere a large doily over the center of your paper ribbon.
Crease your green leaves in half to give them some dimension. Create some larger leaves by cutting around the negative space left behind from die cutting them.
Adhere the two bundles of paper flowers to the center of the doily using a low-temperature hot glue gun. Manipulate the floral wire until your two bunches of flowers resemble a nice, full bouquet.
Lastly, add your leaves using Glue Dots®. Hot glue small loops of green ribbon as filler wherever needed.

Stunningly beautiful work......by God and by you! Thanks for bringing pulchritude to my day, it's a lovely way to begin it!
Posted by Kathy at July 30, 2004 01:45 AMMy untrained eyes say that shots of bees can't get any perfect than what you have here. Kudos!
Posted by jreinds at July 30, 2004 01:58 AMyou should work for national geographic or life or something....the worse thing in life is wasted talent haha (robert deniro)
Posted by :) at July 30, 2004 02:30 AMI love this one. I tried to take a similar shot the other day with a yellow jacket and a flower. Mine didn't turn out near as good on account of my heart pounding fear of insects, and how that fear correlates with the movement of my feet, and the direction they are going, which in this case, was backwards and quite fast.
I'm a bit talkative tonight, eh? Nice shot. Well done.
Posted by Eric at July 30, 2004 02:33 AMExcellent macro. I really like the colors.
I was wondering, is it very hard to get good DoF with the macro ring?
Posted by RainKing at July 30, 2004 04:38 AMWell, nobody is perfect. This is a great shot though. I like that the bee on the left is out of focus because it forces the eyes to go back to the bee on the right which is in focus. There's a great article about macro photography by professor Plonsky who talks about various methods of getting good shots at: http://www.mplonsky.com/photo/article.htm
Posted by Charles at July 30, 2004 08:18 AMLooking at your photos, makes me realize that what we take for granted all that is beautiful. Because of you walking by that beautiful church we get to experience those things that we don't seem to have time for. Thanks for the inspiration and a great start to the morning...
Posted by THERESA at July 30, 2004 09:37 AMi'll bet you used to pull the wings off of those things when you were young.....
Posted by chemical imbalance at July 30, 2004 10:37 AMI took a similar bee shot last week. I think you did a much better job. I agree - the little buggers refuse to hold still long enough, adding a bit of luck to the equation.

Posted by Doug at July 30, 2004 10:45 AMi love the lavender with the yellow. perfect pic. i'm loving this über-close-up thing. very nice.
Posted by maria at July 30, 2004 11:08 AMI think the colors in this are just amazing. I really love this shot. Stunning.
Posted by Sara at July 30, 2004 12:10 PMwow, two glorious insect photos in such a short time. I love it.
Posted by Chair at July 30, 2004 12:11 PMAmazing stuff... Every! Freakin! Day!
Posted by casey at July 30, 2004 12:21 PMFantastic photo!
Posted by Danielle at July 30, 2004 01:16 PMHow much more perfect that this can you get?? I think some blurring on subjects like this is perfect as it illustrates that life was captured. A perfectly focused shot of bees would just feel like a reference image from an encyclopedia. Like it was staged.
I think this is a great shot. Better than any bee/bug shots I've been able to get. :)

Posted by photojunkie at July 30, 2004 01:38 PMi tried to take the same photo last week here in boston. same bees, same exact flower. it wasn't, however, the same photo. very nice texture in the wings and an incredibly short dof.

Stress Management
Alternative Medicine for Immune System Strengthening
Aromatherapy has a broad range of application in immune system support because virtually every essential oil in therapeutic use is active against one or more bacteria, and almost all of them stimulate production of white blood cells. It has been found that people who use essential oils regularly have a high level of resistance to illness. They catch fewer colds and other diseases and recover quickly if they do.
Essential oils support and strengthen the immune response by two different ways:
By directly opposing the threatening micro-organisms
By increasing the activity of the organs and cells that fight them.
Best Essential Oils for Immune System support are (they do both these actions):
These essential oils increase the immune response.
Other Essential oils Useful for immunity:
Rosemary and Geranium support the adrenal glands and stimulate the lymphatic system.
Black Pepper and Lavender strengthen the spleen.
If your immune system is depleted, aromatherapy treatment should be continued for at least a month. This will help bringing the micro-organisms in the body under control, repairing the immune system and strengthening the immune system to withstand from further attack.
Essential Oil Blend for Immune System Strengthening
Massage the following extracts in a vegetable oil base:
Bryony 4% Eucalyptus 3% Lavender 3% Rosemary 3%
Bryony 4%
Eucalyptus 3%
Lavender 3%

Reduce your trash. a great way to make every day Earth DAY Choose bigger sizes - they offer more products with less packaging. One of the best ways to do this is to buy in bulk from one of those warehouse stores. You'll often find items that have less packaging and therefore have less trash when you are done using them. It can also save you money! Doubly good! Use re-usable bags. Keeping re-usable bags in your car so they are there when you need them can help you to replace the plastic and paper bags you get whenever you go to a store. Shoppers use over 40 million bags a year. Even better than using a re-usable bag is to not take a bag at all. Why get a bag for a bottle of water and a yogurt? You can carry it and feel good knowing you did your part! Reuse plastic sandwich bags by washing them and drying them on a plastic bag dryer. This reduces not only the amount of trash you produce, but also the amount of money you spend on them. Another option is to use glass containers to store food instead of plastic bags. Borrow. Sometimes the best way to reduce your trash is to borrow or rent something that you are not going to need for very long. If you decide you need to use something only once or twice, ask around. Your friends are usually happy to help, and if not many stores will rent items for short term use, which can also save you money. Give items away. When you are done with items, give them to charity or to friends.. Books, sporting goods, toys, clothing and furniture are always needed by non-profit groups. They will appreciate it. You'll not only help the earth, but the people on it as well. If you have jars or bottles available try to reuse them. Some schools and other organizations can use household trash for projects. Use reusable dinnerware. Reducing the amount of paper and plastic tableware you use can greatly reduce the amount of trash you have in a week. Even better buy reusable dishes that are made from recycled glass. Have a garage sale. One man's trash is another man's treasure. You would be amazed what people are looking for, though we don't suggest you put out the previously mentioned used paper plates. That would just be tacky! Use a Composter to reduce the amount of biodegradable trash, the compost you make can help your lawn and garden look great! Return clothes hangers to the cleaners so they can reuse them and you don't have a too much of wire hangers around your house! Quit smoking.

This looks really yummy and there are days I crave Tuna Casserole. This looks like it'll solve the problem.
One note - the calories look like it's for the entire recipe, so it's actually less per serving -- Yeah! Yummy and calorically happy. - 1/29/09
Reply from ANNROBERTS54 (1/29/09)
According to the recipe I am seeing on my screen, it says 403 cal for each of 3 servings. I do think this is worth it, it's pretty yum. But it could even be divided up into 4 servings to cut it down just a little bit.
Thanks for taking the time to review the recipe for me

Turns out, as I've recently discovered, if you keep a man in town over the weekend, he's gonna go in to work, at least a little while. So if the weather forecast is promising and the man says, "Wanna go camping?" I say, "Let's go!"
This past weekend we stayed at a Forest Service campground along the beautiful St. Joe River. This late in the season, the campgrounds are pretty quiet... perfect for relaxing.
Lyle's definition of relaxing always involves a drive, and he especially loves twisty mountain roads. If I can manage to avoid getting carsick (and I've learned some tricks about that over the years), I enjoy the scenery!
The St. Joe is so clear we could see the rocks on the bottom from even this far above it!
Our sweet Cookie loves to participate in all our adventures.
We think that if the air currents were just right, it's possible that our truck could fly!

Analyst Boosts Q4 Amazon (AMZN) Fire Sales Expectations Following Checks

Current market leader Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) has it's iPad, iPad 2, and (soon), the iPad 3.
Amazon, as announced September 28th, is bringing a new media tablet to the market in the Kindle Fire.
One analyst from Rodman & Renshaw is getting more bullish on Amazon's prospects following initial checks. The analyst lifted his forecast 25 percent for initial fourth quarter Fire sales from 4 million to 5 million.
The analyst said Apple is currently shipping about 12 million tablets per quarter, and that estimate hasn't changed.
Estimates were increased as Amazon reported record pre-orders from day one. eDataSource provides initial sales of 215,000 within the first six days, indicating a monthly rate of 1.08 million. But with holiday sales looming, that number might ramp into the holidays.
The Rodman analyst also claimed its time for a competitor to challenge Apple in the tablet realm, but that might not be the right direction. At $199, the Fire isn't designed to be the end-all tablet. While the iPad can run word processors and other complicated tasks, the Fire is more media focused, for streaming things like movies and songs. With a 7-inch display, it pales compared with Apple's nearly 10-inch display. However, the analyst might be more focused on pure numbers; not one Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Android-based tablet has been able to even come close to Apple's numbers.
But that might change. In August, Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) cut the price on it's TouchPad to $99, spurring a frenzy of buying. The move indicates consumers are interested in a tablet device, but prices above $500 are just not going to fly.
That said, Amazon and Apple might occupy the tablet space in perfect harmony: Amazon for the Android crowd, and Apple for Applonians. Apple has been forecast to lose some market share moving forward as stronger competitors enter the market, but it will most likely retain the top-spot and majority share through at least 2015, according to some estimates.
The Rodman & Renshaw analyst cautioned that Amazon might miss his target mainly on the display side, which is Amazon's major constraining factor currently.

consider this
Consider points below before buying Kindle Fire:
- Amazon confirmed that you cannot download anything to Kindle Fire when traveling outside US.
- Kindle Fire (or any other Kindle) doesn't have microSD (or any other) card slot thus it is stuck with 6 GB USABLE internal storage unlike other tablets/ereaders that can get up to 32 GB card in to increase content capacity. Kindles are made to be almost like a "dumb terminal" of the past to make sure you're tied up to Amazon's storage on the web (for which you need Wi-Fi connection to
get to) and you can only store content you get from Amazon there, not other files. Quoting Amazon on Kindle Fire: "Free cloud storage for all Amazon content". Get it, Amazon content?
- The stats of how long the battery can last (Kindle Fire theory is 7.5 hours) are taken with Wi-Fi off. It will last about 3 hours if you use it to access content from their Cloud storage over Wi-Fi.
- Amazon can spy on your web activity through their new cloud-integrated web browser of Kindle Fire.
- VERY IMPORTANT – lack of microSD slot means that if you decide to"root" your Kindle Fire (or any other Kindle) you'll have to "root" the actual device thus there will be no coming back. On other devices you can make it boot from a "rooted" microSD card and if you want to get back to the
original Operating System you can just take out the card and reboot, and you can go back and forth between different images of various OS's.
- Kindle Fire doesn't have a camera.
- Kindle Fire has about 70% less usable screen area than iPad 2.
- Kindle doesn't support eBooks in ePub format that is the most used format in the world.
- Kindle app store contains only Amazon approved apps and it does not include (and will not include) Netflix app that other tablets/ereaders have thus again you're stuck with Amazon content only.
- Amazon says it will review every app in its Appstore for Fire compatibility, as part of an automated process. Rejected apps will include those that rely on a gyroscope, camera, WAN module, Bluetooth, microphone, GPS, or micro SD. Apps are also forbidden from using Google's Mobile Services (and in-app billing), which, if included, will have to be "gracefully" removed. In terms of actual content, Amazon has outlawed all apps that change the tablet's UI in any way (including theme- or wallpaper-based tools), as well as any that demand root access (it remains to be seen how the company will treat the root-dependent apps already in its store) - this is what "rooting" can help with.

Does for psychedelics what "Boogie Nights" does for cocaine; displaying in graphical detail the ultimate failure of drugs as an escape route.
It is as deeply satisfying as only the yowling, primal trashing of several rental cars and hotel rooms while in the grips of a hopelessly depraved ether jag and several sheets of blotter acid can be... A cinematic masterpiece.
The strongest magnet in this psychedelic morass is Johnny Depp who, as the story's antic, disgusting and seductive spirit guide, is impossible to look away from.
Gilliam captures the chaotic visions of debauchery with his trademark aplomb, bringing to life the already trippy patterns of hotel carpets and populating the dark bars of Vegas with genuinely reptilian lounge lizards.
The closest sensory approximation of an acid trip ever achieved by a mainstream movie and the latest example of Mr. Gilliam's visual bravura.
Gilliam's visual style has never been more energetic or inventive, and nobody could be attracted to dope after this portrait of drug abuse as a hallucinatory quagmire.
On this ride we follow the two characters from casino to casino and from hallucination to hallucination with no real destination.
The one source of relief comes from the score -- a sampling of period ditties by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and Neil Young.
There is a reason why books are books and movies are movies, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas makes a pretty good case that the two don't always mix.
Disappointing, pointless and repetitive.
A peculiar and oddly haunting achievement.
There's something about that extra layer of distancing that a book can offer and the screen can't, which in this case might account for why film viewers feel vaguely discomforted by an icky fifth-wheel sensation.
The movie is a true folly, yet there's no denying that Gilliam has gotten some of the hallucinogenic madness of Thompson's novel on screen.
Part of the idea here was to play in the ambiguous zones where Las Vegas tackiness, LSD hallucinations, Gilliam beasties, and lots of vomit become difficult to separate.
A horrible mess of a movie, without shape, trajectory or purpose--a one joke movie, if it had one joke.
A lot of talent has gone down the drain, an apt term since bathrooms loom in the picture. [22 Jun 1998, p. 26]
Johnny Depp's impersonation of the Thompson figure is effective up to a point, but it's hard to imagine any segment of the public embracing this off-putting, unrewarding slog through the depths of the drug culture.
Watching it is like being forced to listen to bad heavy metal music turned up to 11 while fat guys in Bermuda shorts compete in a puking contest in the john.
One long offensive treatise on just how vile two human beings can be.

During surgery, Dr. Reddy makes an incision inside the nose which he closes with absorbable thread. Dr. Reddy may support the septum with soft silicone splints which may be inserted inside each nostril. To prevent postoperative bleeding, Dr. Reddy may place bandage-like material in your nose.
Recovery is relatively quick and the discomfort is manageable. Patients can resume light activities and return to work in one to two weeks.

This used to be called "Trips and Travels" and then it got involved into hunting and camping, it was called something before that too. Should this specific sub-forum be called "Sports, Hunting and Camping"? or something like "Sportsmans Forum" or "Sports & Outdoors"... or something else?
I think the "Sports and Outdoors" sounds good since it makes it a little more broad but also allows people to clearly understand it is geared twards activities not related to our trucks and other events.
x3... "Sports and Outdoors". I think it really brings in a bit more (hiking, shooting, archery, rock climbing, kayaking, boating, etc. etc. etc.)
Hmm.... that has a ring to it, trap. I like it. Steve, I think we've got enough options for a poll. Or was this thread just for fun? Haha
Hmm, it's too long right now, it's wrapping around the format of the page home layout, so I'll change it to "Sports & Outdoors"

Feds: More time to comment on Pa.-NY gas pipeline
Thursday, October 11, 2012
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Federal regulators are giving upstate New York residents some more time to comment on a proposal to build a natural gas pipeline that would link northern Pennsylvania with a larger distribution network.
The Oneonta Daily Star reports (http://bit.ly/URLxAF ) that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has extended the comment period on the Constitution Pipeline to Nov. 9. It had been set to end Tuesday, but opponents say people only learned recently about details of an alternate route and public hearing sites were too remote for some residents.
The regulators will also add another hearing Oct. 24 in Oneonta.
The 120-mile pipeline would run from Pennsylvania through Broome, Chenango, and Delaware counties to connect with the Tennessee and Iroquois pipelines in the Schoharie County town of Wright, 80 miles southwest of Albany.

A Greener Swimsuit: Ecobikinis by Meadow
Swimsuits from the big box store tend to be bad news from a social and environmental standpoint. You can't really tell if they're made in a sweatshop, and they tend to be made from petroleum products. Any time I want to skip the big box store, my first stop is Etsy, and my searching did not disappoint! I stumbled upon these super sweet swimsuits by Miami designer Meadow that are as sassy as they are eco-friendly!
Biodegradable Shoes that Sprout Flowers
The typical sneaker has a few years before it starts to wear down. If you're really good to your kicks, maybe you can extend that, even double it, but eventually sneakers outlive their usefulness in the shoe department. Oat Shoes are designed to have a whole new life when you're done wearing them.

I traded in my iced coffee for a hot non-fat latte this morning. But when do you know it's really fall? When you stop shopping for tanks and start shopping for socks, printed socks! I admit that there are days during the fall and winter that I walk out with mis-matching socks under my boots. But there's something about colorfully printed socks that make me excited! So far, I've found that J. Crew and Madewell give the largest collection of printed socks. Where do you find your socks for fall?

Magnetic Properties of UFe10Si2 Single Crystal
Estrela, P., Godinho, M., Goncalves, A. P., Almeida, M. and Spirlet, J. C., 1995. Magnetic Properties of UFe10Si2 Single Crystal. Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 230 (1), pp. 35-41.

UFe10Si2 single crystals with ThMn12-type structure were studied by X-ray diffraction and magnetisation measurements. A uniaxial anisotropy, a saturation magnetisation of 19.5 mu(B) f.u.(-1) and a type-1 first order magnetisation process, for fields applied along the hard a axis, were observed in agreement with previous powder results. The anisotropy constants K-1, K-2 and K-3 were obtained from the magnetisation curves along the hard axis. The analysis of the first order magnetisation process, through the simultaneous measurement of the longitudinal (parallel to H) and transverse (perpendicular to H) components of the magnetisation, assigned it to a rotation of the total magnetisation. The results indicate an important contribution of the uranium sublattice to the magnetism in this compound.
