We have lived with the generation of survivors during the Shoah, the unspeakable nightmare of the century we are leaving. We are now preparing to enter a new century with a new post-Holocaust generation. We are entering a different world that will require a renewed theology, a different spiritual statesmanship and in a globalized universe a new weltanschauung toward the non-Jewish world.
During the last half of this past century we were part of a traumatized people seeking to recover from the excremental assault on its psyche. Who could reasonably expect a relentlessly battered people to emerge unscathed from such terror? Who could expect normalcy after the unconditional extermination of one third of the world Jewish population, the devastation of ninety percent of east European Jewry, the slaughter of 1.5 million Jewish children? Eighty percent of our rabbis, Jewish scholars, teachers and students were murdered.
The Shoah remains the dominant psychic reality of our lives. It has shaken the foundation of faith in God and in man, in churches and in states. It has left us scarred with fear, shame, guilt, disillusionment, and anger. The Shoah is our dybbuk.
Are we then overly pre-occupied with the Shoah? This charge was answered by Elie Weisel with anguish "One Jew was put to death in Jerusalem two thousand years ago and the non-Jewish world has not ceased to speak of his death. Do we not have the right, the duty to keep alive the memory of six million dead?"
There is an anger in us however subdued. Max Scheler, the phenomonologist best characterized such resentment as "the secretion in a sealed vessel of prolonged impotence".
I remember as a child of five my Zayde, born in Poland, taking me firmly by the hand and quickly crossing the street to avoid passing the church. He averted his eyes from priests and nuns. His family's experience justified his suspicions.
Looking back two millennia we Jews were treated as objects of contempt. Our history is punctuated with marauding Christian Crusaders who in the first millennium started killing entire Jewish communities on the way to Jerusalem, inquisitions, passion plays, expulsions, blood libels against Jews for using the blood of Christian children to bake matzah.
Preparing for Passover, I still shudder when reading that a line in the Shulchan Aruch explained why white wine was preferred to red wine at the Seder. It was not a matter of aesthetics but a reaction of fear to the blood libel.
Hovering behind that ugly history was the church's theology of displacement. Displacement means that the Bible's old covenant between God and Israel is declared nullified, totally supplanted by the new covenant between God and Christians. The elected are rejected. Judaism is superseded by Christianity because of the Jewish rejection of Jesus as the son of God. The rejection was not only a Judaic theological rejection but one followed by the alleged murder of the son of God by the Jews. This sin of deicide was placed on the heads of our children and our children's children. Engraved forever on the foreheads of Jews was the mark of Cain, the curse of Ahasueras, the legendary wandering Jew who deservedly punished can find no peace, no place, no home on earth. "God says to you Jews, 'You are hated'," the church father John Chrysostom preached.
That poisonous theology carried political venom. At the turn of this century, in 1904, Theodore Herzl appeared before Pope Pius X to plead the cause of Zionism, the return to Zion. The Pope responded to Herzl "We are unfavorable to the movement. We cannot prevent Jews from going to Jerusalem but we can never sanction it...the Jews have not recognized our Lord. Therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people." That non-recognition took on sinister life and death judgment during the Holocaust. Borders was shut closed, the silence of the Church was deafening. The Shoah took place in Europe, in countries of long-standing Christianization. No Nazi was excommunicated. No sacrament was denied the S.S. Abandoned, betrayed, the seething anger of impotence roiled within us.
My rabbinic colleague, the late lamented Eleazar Berkovitz, expressed a mighty rage. Addressing the Christian world he wrote "We have nothing to learn from you and your ethos. Your interests are not ours. How dare you lecture us about morality, freedom of conscience, the treatment of minorities, the mandate of pluralism. After Dachau, Treblinka, after the White Paper, after the Bermuda Conference, after the Struma and the St. Louis, after Buchenwald, you and western civilization have forfeited all claims to moral credibility. We are exempt from your hypocritical double standards...all we ask of Christians is that they keep their hands off our children."
We understand that rage over the deadly silence of the church.
Then in 1965 some twenty years after the war something occurred for which we were not prepared nor was the world prepared. It started with a world shattering event that proved revolutionary. It began a radical process of self-understanding within the church that changed two thousand years of the teaching of contempt.
In 1965 Pope John XXIII reshaped the world of the church through his call for "aggiornamento", an internal reconstruction of Catholic doctrine, Catholic liturgy and Catholic policy. He convened Vatican II which gave birth to a declaration Nostra Aetate on the church and the Jews that ushered in a Copernican revolution. Fifteen Latin sentences in the church document Nostra Aetate ("In Our Days") turned the church around and opened up a new era.
The document condemned as wholly false the ancient pernicious charge of deicide, the vicious accusation that Jews were collectively to blame for the murder of their God.
With that repudiation of the two millennial charge of deicide, the church put an end to the arrogant conceit that Jews were doomed to eternal exile. The acid test of the significance of that theological change came on December 30, 1993 when against great internal opposition from right wing Catholics and from Arab states and over the objections of his secretariat of State, Pope John Paul II, and the Holy See established full diplomatic relations with the State of Israel which included exchange of ambassadors. It put an end to the church's degradation of the Jewish people because of the Jewish perfidy in rejecting Jesus. It announced the return of a people onto the stage of world history. Here at VBS a special Sabbath service was convened in which Cardinal Mahoney and numbers of monsignori, priests, nuns and joined with rabbis, Jews and Catholics, at a service of celebration that marked a historic event.
Truth be told, when John Paul II was first elected, my heart sunk. A Polish Pope, was not a prospect looked forward to by Jewish families from Warsaw and Tchechonever and Nasheltz.
But in retrospect something uncanny occurred, something unanticipated. No Pope in history has ever spoken out more openly, more positively about new relations between Jews and Christians than this Polish Pope Karol Voteeyah from Vadoveeche.
This Polish Pope was the first Bishop of Rome since St. Peter, the first Pope in two thousand years to step into a synagogue. On April 13, 1986 crossing the Tiber, John Paul II, clad in white robe and wearing a white zucchetto (skullcap) embraced Chief Rabbi of Rome Elio Toaff and prayed in the synagogue. The Pope's predecessor John XXIII had once stopped his car so as to bless the crowd of Jews who were coming out of that very synagogue. John Paul II speaking to the Jewish congregation said, "I would like to find myself not just outside but thanks to your generous hospitality, I am inside the synagogue of Rome." More than symbolism was involved. The head of one billion Catholics spoke powerful words which were broadcast throughout the world.
No one expected the Pope would implement the Nostra Aetate document in person. It meant that the declaration would not be shelved in the libraries but would become the real task of the church. The Pope who had repeatedly deplored and condemned anti-semitism, prayed that the Shoah will never again be possible. In the synagogue, the Pope expressed the deep sorrow for the failure of the sons and daughters of the church in every age. He called for an act of "teshuvah" repentance, "since as members of the church, we are linked to the sins as well as the merits of all her children." The Pope paused and then continued, "With Judaism we have a relationship which we do not have with any other religion. You are our dearly beloved brother, and in a certain way, you are our elder brother." He prayed for the rediscovered brotherhood, for the new understanding between the church and Judaism and concluded in Hebrew quoting the Psalms Hodu la Adonai ki tov, ki l'olam hasdo -yomar na Yisrael ki lolam hasdo. Yomar na. Yireh Adonai ki l'olam hasdo". Give thanks to the Lord for He is good...His steadfast love endures forever.
Following Nostra Aetate, Catholic Guidelines and Notes were published in which radical changes were systematically introduced including the purging of many anti-Judaic elements in the Catholic liturgy. The old Catholic text books were combed in order to purge the legacy of anti-Judaic stereotypes. A new Catholic catechism has emerged with an emphasis on the present tense in speaking of Israel.
We have seen in art books and in person the old statuaries of Judaism in the medieval cathedrals where the synagogue is portrayed in the form of a bent woman, her head bowed, holding a broken staff of the Law, the Ten Commandments slipping from her fingers next to a church resplendently erect and triumphant. The new Catholic cathedrals do not and will not have those features. Pope Paul has sensitized the church to the hostility of the church toward Jews and Judaism. With sensitivity John Paul II proposed the deletion of the term "Old Testament" as opposed to "New Testament" because old means obsolete, irrelevant and broken. Instead, he uses such terms as the "Hebrew Scriptures" and the "Christian Scriptures".
These changes did not come overnight. But they did come. It involved dialogue and outreach by great Jewish statesmanship, including the firm but patient efforts of Jules Isaac who visited with the Pope and presented him with his book The Contempt of the Jews that demonstrated the arrogance of the church toward Jews and Judaism in its implication in modern anti-semitism. It profoundly affected John XXIII.
But many Jewish scholars rejected any religious dialogue with the church. They were wounded, humiliated, offended, angry. I recall how Abraham Joshua Heschel was chastised and ridiculed by leading rabbinic scholars for flying to the Vatican and meeting with Cardinal Bea and Pope Pius XI, meetings at which Heschel sought to change the articles in Nostra Aetate that dealt with the Catholic mission to the Jews, the insistence the Catholic church exercises its powers to convert Jews. Many Jewish leaders scoffed, and opposed Heschel's involvement. They said: "We do not believe you will be able to influence the prelates and change their minds". Heschel's response was classic, "Because you do not believe, therefore we should not try?" When an early church draft came back with an endorsement for the conversion of Jews, Heschel responded forcefully to the Cardinals "I would rather go to Auschwitz than give up my religion". Let it be recorded to the credit of dialogue and reconciliation and the testimony of Heschel that Pope Paul VI personally crossed out the paragraph. The mission to the Jews does not appear in the final draft.
Why have I chosen to speak to you of this matter in the dawn of a new century? There is a revolution taking place. And we dare not sleep through that revolution. People change. Prelates change. Institutions change. Tshuvah is real. We must be prepared to change ourselves. That change will not be easy for us. We have deep wounds, deep angers and deep memories. Those angers must be respected but they must also be mastered. Our sages warned, "When the kettle boils over, the boiling waters spill over all its sides". (Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:9)
As we leave the century of the Shoah, we need lucidity, wisdom and spiritual statesmanship to enter a new world and to take advantage of new opportunities. Our sages warned "Anger deprives a sage of wisdom and a prophet of vision." (Pesachim 66b)
I am concerned about the mastery of anger. What prompts this concern is the sad news of the recent deterioration of relationships in Jewish Catholic relations; and the de facto dissolution of IJCIC, the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultation which was created with such joy some thirty years ago. About the breakdown I have spoken and have corresponded with Rabbi Leon Klenicki, director of Religious affairs at the ADL and Rabbi James Rudin, the director of Religious Affairs at the American Jewish Committee, and Rabbi Jack Bemporad, director of Christian Jewish Understanding at Sacred Heart University. Regretfully, they more than share my anxiety and apprehensiveness. The breakdown is whispered.
But you must know this because it affects you and our future. One of the major Catholic figures in Jewish Catholics Relationship is Cardinal Edward Cassidy, a known friend of Jews and of the dialogue. Cardinal Cassidy, is head of the Pontifical Commission For Religious Relations with the Jews. He amazed the Catholic delegates in Prague in 1990 with his forthright declaration: "That anti-semitism has found a place in Christian thought and practice calls for an act of tshuvah and of reconciliation on our part...a witness to our failure to be authentic witness to our faith at times in the past." The same Cardinal Cassidy has now publicly expressed his exasperation with some representatives of Jewish organizations. His complaint is that the Jewish response to the church's efforts toward reconciliation are being undermined by a negative and unappreciative criticism. The criticism is "often so negative that some now hesitate to do anything at all for fear of making the situation worse...."We expect and hope that the Jewish partners will at least show us respect. You can hardly claim to respect someone if at every possible opportunity you are ready to criticize the person, even without making a real effort to understand and appreciate the position of the other person."
It is only to be expected that there should be disagreements between both communities. I hold no brief for the church. I do not believe in the infallibility of any church or synagogue. But in my study on the grounds of the deterioration I believe that those who purportedly represent the fate of our people may have handled this process of reconciliation with less than sensitivity, wisdom and statesmanship. For example, they are upset with the beatification and canonization of Edith Stein, who converted to Catholicism, became a nun and went to her death at Auschwitz. I too am regretful about the loss of Edith Stein but I do not believe that it is wise or proper for us to interfere with the church in its canonization of its saints.
Many of the charges against the Pope and the church is that they seek to Christianize the Holocaust. The issue of the Carmelite nuns who set up a convent in Auschwitz set up the same charge of the Christianization of the Holocaust. But too few have read the statement of the Pope addressed to the Carmelite nuns, April 9, 1993, "Now, according to the will of the church, you should move to another place in Osweicim." The nuns were relocated.
The Pope is criticized for meeting with Arafat and with the president of Austria, Kurt Waldheim. I have read the Catholic explanation for that meeting and I seriously question whether Jewish leaders ought to have sought to interfere with the church's own political conduct. We are dealing with sensitive and unprecedented opportunities. The church in March 1998 put out a mea culpa document asking for forgiveness and confessing its sins for the passivity during the Holocaust. The response from many Jewish organizations was headlined "Disappointment". Some of the Jewish criticism dealt with some of the sins during the long history that were ignored. I know that the document did not condemn the silence of Pope Pius XII during the Nazi era. But did anyone expect one infallible Pope to challenge another Catholic Pope? Moreover, instead of encouraging the process of church repentance, this unparalleled act was banned with faint praise. If you voluntarily apologize to me for the wrongs you have committed towards me, I don't respond by reminding you of the errors you left out. Encourage the process. It's not the end, it's the beginning.
We are entering a new era, new times and we are confronting different situations, different events and different persons. My fear is that in anger of the past we cast such a deep shadow over the future, so that we see only the tunnel beyond the light. George Santayana was half right. Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. But if we remember only and solely the dark past, we will doom ourselves with eternal repetition.
Do you remember when Menachem Begin, the Prime Minister of Israel, a Polish Jew whose family felt the full fury of the Nazi predators, sent a revealing letter to the then President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. The occasion was the invasion into Lebanon and the bombing of Beirut. "Now may I tell you, dear Mr. President, how I feel these days when I turn to the Creator of my soul in deep gratitude. I feel as Prime Minister empowered to instruct a valiant army to facing Berlin where among many civilians, Hitler and his henchmen hid in bunkers beneath the surface. What happened to us from Berlin will never happen again." Who cannot appreciate Begin's dream to turn back history, to avenge the victims of the Shoah, to fight the Warsaw Ghetto battle over again and this time to win. But I fear the dangerous anachronism, the perilous misplacement of persons and events.
Arafat is not Hitler.The PLO is not the S.S.Oslo is not Munich.Barak is not Chamberlain.Pope John Paul II is not Pius XII.The church of Vatican II is not the church of the Middle Ages.The new catechism is not the old catechism.
There is something new under the sun. This is a time for a new politics in Israel and a new theology in the synagogue. A new universe is opening up, a new future. In the Middle East new negotiations are taking place. A new military and moral statesmanship is evolving as we speak. Yitzchak Rabin and in his footsteps Ehud Barak are determined to seize the day and to be wary of the understandable but dangerous anger of impotence.
There are important but delicate issues that confront us. Delicate because our emotions are raw enough, our wounds deep enough, our angers of impotence explosive enough that we would do nothing to rub against the barely formed scars of survivors and psychically we are all survivors. It is tempting to do nothing, to say nothing, to let the old habits of the mind continue undisturbed, to submit to the irrational but understandable mutterings of our aching heart "behind every Gentile, lurks an anti-semite". That pulls down the curtain on the future. That does not pay homage to our martyrs. What would they want of us? Not, I think, to be blinded by our anger. Not to eclipse today and tomorrow. Not to view the future only through the single lens of the Shoah. But to take advantage of unimagined changes, to revere the past by respecting the future, to honor the past by creating a better future for our children and children's children. To reject the belief that all roads lead to Ausch
It is to our interest and to the interest of our children's children that we educate, publicize and praise these heroic changes, the struggles to purge the church of its toxic past. The good news taking place on high levels must be filtered down to the masses, to the laity, both Jewish and Christian. We must help spread the word of the revolution of heart as exhibited in the astounding and unparalleled declarations of the Bishops of Germany, France and Hungary. We are on the brink of historic breakthroughs, one that may serve as the model for the 21st century, a healing of the long and bitter antagonism between the elder and younger brother.
Cardinal Mahoney and I, with the cooperation of the American Jewish Committee at Valley Beth Shalom, will convene a conference on the future of Catholic-Jewish relations on Wednesday, September 29, 1999 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM.
We may not have this historic moment of aggiornamento again. Let us set our spiritual and moral agenda toward this next century:
from darkness to light,from anger to hope,from Shoah to reconciliation.

Everybody has their own unique set of talents and skills. Everybody is gifted in some regard, whether it is on the field of sport, in the classroom or in conversations with others. Some rare individuals, however, are so natural at something that it seems like they were just born to do it. Coppell Middle School North eighth-grader Christopher Stubblefield is a natural at playing the trumpet.
Stubblefield began playing the trumpet in sixth grade, just like dozens of other middle school beginners. As of now, he has only been playing for less than three years but has already accomplished a lifetime's worth. On March 15-18, Stubblefield traveled to Fairfax, Virginia to perform at the National Trumpet Competition at George Washington University. Stubblefield was named a semi-finalist in January to earn his spot in Fairfax.
During spring break, Christopher and his parents attended the three-day event – along with the cream of the crop, the best young trumpeters from around the country. Stubblefield performed the Haydn Concerto in front of judges and came in second-place out of sixteen. Being named the second best trumpeter in the nation is a huge honor for such a young artist – who competed against high school students – and he was a rewarded a Bb (B flat) Fides Vivace trumpet as a result.
Stubblefield will no doubt put this new trumpet to good use as a member of the North Honor Band for the rest of the year.

Dinosaur Fever (Paperback)
|Author: Marion Woodson
Learn more about Dinosaur Fever:
|Someone is stealing fossils at a dig in Alberta, and Adam is determined to track down the thief. But dinosaurs are big business, and Adam could be in deadly danger.
From the Publisher:
It's the summer of 1988 and 15-year-old aspiring artist Adam Zapotica has a big problem. He's crazy about dinosaurs, and a team of paleontologists and scientists at Milk River Ridge near Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta has recently unearthed a major cache of dinosaur eggs. They need volunteers to assist them at the dig, but there's a catch -- you have to be 18!
Adam soon figures a way to get around that, and faster than a raptor the Calgary youth finds himself part of the dinosaur crew and knee-deep in intrigue and romance, especially after he meets Jamie, the teenaged daughter of the camp's boss.
Someone is stealing fossils, and the suspects are almost as numerous as the dinosaur experts toiling amid the hoodoos and coulees. Adam and Jamie are determined to get to the bottom of the pilfering, but dinosaurs are big business and the danger could be deadly.

Kevin Bazar
Age: 36 | Vitals: 5'8", 160 lbs. | Moustache: Cop/Slovenly Fireman
Years riding: About 15 years XC/trail riding; 10 years DH; 7 years dirtjumping; raced bmx as a kid.
Current Residence: Lake Tahoe, California
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, I developed an early appreciation for going fast and jumping on two wheels through racing BMX. The sport was going through a bit of a growth spurt, and I was fortunate enough to have three tracks in town to which my parents were willing to drive most weekends.
For several years I raced locally and nationally, and got a few state and national rankings under my belt. But more importantly, I laid a foundation for what would later become an adult obsession: hauling ass and taking chances on narrow strips of dirt in the woods.
I loved riding bikes as a kid, but the competition aspect began to wear on me. Eventually I discovered skateboarding, and found that I could remove skin and concuss myself till I spoke in tongues, and the only measure of success was the amount of fun I had.
Outside of academics and girls, my entire junior and senior high school development consisted of second residencies at skateparks, and doing anything and everything possible to learn new tricks on a plank of wood bolted to some wheels.
A brief stint in northern Maryland in junior high opened up the newly developing world of snowboarding to me, and provided a third way to move through the outdoors while standing sideways (can't live in a beach state without surfing, obviously).
An ongoing disagreement with the Georgia and Florida highway patrol forces about the velocity at which I should be able to drive my car between Georgia Tech and friends in Florida resulted in a mandatory bicycle purchase while a license suspension played out. This was my first mountain bike. I wasn't in the best locale, but it's where I discovered the thrills and serenity of smashing big wheels over roots and rocks by myself in the woods.
This period in college is also where I got a job as a bike mechanic and began understanding just how the tools used in this pursuit all go together (and fall apart). The relatively safe – and yes, flat – rural roads outside of Gainesville, Florida where I went to grad school also lent themselves to a pretty serious road bike phase, but the spandex is too painful a subject so we'll just leave that where it sits.
My entire life in sports – snowboarding, bikes, skateboarding, and surfing – always pointed west. That's where the media was, that's where the big names were, and, let's be honest, it's hard to take these pursuits seriously in Florida. So away I went, and Lake Tahoe is where I landed. I needed infrastructure and Tahoe delivers. The roads here are dangerous, so in the name of safety, I sold the road bike and began downhill mountain biking early on.
The sport has continued to evolve since my humble beginnings and my interest in bikes, and the ways to ride them, tweak them and generally just enjoy all that they provide has grown along with it. I do what I can these days to split time between trail riding, shuttling, or throwing big bikes on a chairlift. I'm also forever looking to create the greatest 'hold my beer, watch this' moments at the dirtjumps. I lost the desire to compete years ago, but will always be looking for ways to ride bikes better and faster.
My ultimate rides these days – regardless of the genre – are runs where brakes are used at a minimum. It's the search for smooth and fast lines, where the only thing that determines whether or not the hydraulic stoppers get touched is fear. My priority will always be the descent, but I never completely discount the need for a little work to reach those magic, gravity-fueled moments.
Some favorite equipment:
Turner and Specialized frames, Shimano brakes, Sram shifing bits, Maxxis tires, Dynafit bindings, and newer Polaris sleds (yes, I stay in Tahoe for the winter).

Komar takes another look at who killed Annie Kempton
© Submitted
Author Debra Komar is using modern forensic investigative methods to reopen some of Canada's historical crimes.
Author Debra Komar is launching her new book, "The Lynching of Peter Wheeler," Sunday afternoon at the Bear River Museum.
Komar, a retired forensic anthropologist-- a real-life Bones—has investigated human rights violations for the United Nations. Now she is applying her forensic investigation skills to revisit historical crimes closer to home.
Her previous book, The Ballad of Jacob Peck (2013), looks at a grisly 19th century murder in New Brunswick. Now she's turning her attention to Bear River's most ill-famed murder.
In preparation for her second in the four-book series, Komar spent months in local libraries and museums researching the Annie Kempton murder trial to prove that Peter Wheeler wasn't the killer.
She considers how the community, the justice system, and the media ultimately denied him justice in a race to judgement.
On a cold January night in 1896, 14 year-old Annie Kempton was staying home alone. Sometime before daylight, someone entered the house and attacked her, leaving her to die in a pool of blood.
Peter Wheeler was a migrant labourer who had settled in Bear River. Komar suggests that early on, he was cast as the prime suspect after investigators found an inconsistency in his testimony.
From then on, Komar portrays a conspiracy of convenience that leads the proceedings to unjustly convict and hang Wheeler.
Debra Komar will be launching "The Lynching of Peter Wheeler," at the Oakdene Centre on March 30, from 1 until 4 p.m.

It's a story of well-aged philosophy, begun in a UW-Madison library prior to World War II and concluded in the same library last week.
On Jan. 13, 1938, a student checked out a hardcover book, "Selected Papers on Philosophy" by William James. In all caps at the top of the return slip were the loan terms — FOURTEEN DAYS — and the daily overdue fine — TWO CENTS. Previous date stamps showed it had been checked out regularly starting in 1926, and returned. For this patron, the book took a bit longer on its journey back to the shelves, arriving last week by mail with a letter to Ed Van Gemert, vice provost for libraries:
"My parents met as students at the University of Wisconsin in 1937 and have been married for nearly 73 years. Recently, I have been sorting through the myriad boxes in their basement. I found the enclosed volume, which seems to be overdue at the University Library. I am not sure which of my parents is the scofflaw, but it seems appropriate to return it. I hope that the absence of this work has not had adverse consequences for the intellectual life of the University."

If you have another form of payment, please call us and we can make an arrangement. Your balance of your payment is due on the day of your event at the time of delivery.
Does Air Jump Depot require a deposit?
We do require a deposit to confirm you reservation. This is necessary to insure availability to others. We do require a credit card on file to reserve Specials & Large amounts of equipment.
How far in advance can I reserve a Jumper or Slide?
You can reserve an inflatable at anytime. Most of the time, we will have an inflatable available for your event; But, as the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. If you would like a specific item, we recommend that you call as soon as you know the date of the event. The earlier you make your reservation the better your chances are at getting your first choice. We appreciate as much advance notice as you can offer, but we will do our best to work with you even if it's a last-minute request.
What about delivery and set-up. Who does the work?
We do all the work. Air Jump Depot is a professional full-service inflatable rental company. We do however ask for 1 person to be available if needed. This person should be the one responsible for proper operation of the inflatable. Attendants are available @ an additional charge.
How long can I keep the Inflatable?
Your rental is for the day of your event (upto 6 hours). Typically, we start making deliveries in the morning and return to pick-up the equipment before sunset (6pm). Our delivery goal is to arrive at least 1 - 1 1/2 hours before your event starts and pick-up within an hour after the event. We do understand that sometimes this is not possible or it is inconvenient for you, so we work with our customer on a time that best serves you. Serving the customers needs, is first priority to Air Jump Depot.
What type of surface can I setup the Inflatable on?
We can set-up an inflatable on many surfaces (grass, asphalt, concrete, inside, outside, etc.). It is very important that the location is flat, level, and smooth. It is also imperative that the location allows for overhead clearance from any trees, power-lines, is free of debris, and is easily accessible. Additionally, it is very important to let us know the type of surface, so we can bring the correct anchor system to the jobsite. We will anchor the unit either by driving stakes into the ground or by using sandbags where stakes cannot be used. When you make the reservation, our staff will ask you these questions.
How much space is required for setup and proper use?
Generally, a 20-foot by 20-foot area is sufficient for most standard bouncers. Slides & Interactive Games are larger. Most of our Inflatables are different dimensions. It is ideal that there be at least a 5 foot buffer zone around any Inflatable. You will find the dimensions on the website next to the specific inflatable. Our staff will discuss the required dimensions when you call for a reservation.
Can an inflatable be setup indoors?
Absolutely! We love indoor set-ups. There will need to be a doublewide door allowing access of the large inflatable roll-ups. There will also need to be a tall ceiling to allow for overhead clearance of the Inflatable when erect. If you have access to an indoor gymnasium or conference room, there is no need to be concerned with inclement weather conditions.
Does Air Jump Depot have a policy on inclement weather?
An Inflatable can be very slippery and dangerous if they get wet. To avoid injuries, children must exit moonwalks while it is raining. It is the customers responsibility to ensure the childrens safety in the event of adverse weather. An Inflatable must be deflated when there are winds in excess of 20mph.
*Regarding delivery and set-upMost of the time if the weather is forecast to be adverse, but has not arrived, we will leave it up to the customer as to whether to deliver the Inflatable or not. If there is a bad storm in the area, we will call you before we depart the warehouse for your delivery. If you would like to reschedule due to bad weather, we ask that you call us as soon as you decide. In the event we do not hear from you, we will assume that the weather is clear in your area and will be there to set-up your event and payment will be due. Once the equipment is set-up we ask that you observe the weather and the weather forecasts and make every effort to maintain the equipment in a safe manner, in the event that it rains, thunderstorms, etc. If the weather is not cooperating on the day of your reservation, please call us at least 2 hours before your scheduled delivery time and we will be happy to work with you to reschedule your reservation with no cost or penalty. If you decide to cancel and not reschedule, see below for our policy on cancellations.
How many kids can be in the bouncer/moonwalks at one time?
The moonwalks/bounce house's can hold approximately 8-10 children under 8 years old at a time, 6-8 children 8-11 years old, & approximately 5 children over 11 years of age. Our bouncers have an 800-1200lb capacity. Limits are to be followed for the children's safety. Manufacture's recommendations should NEVER be exceeded!
Do I need to provide anything or do anything special?
Aside from showing the delivery person the location to set-up and showing him/her the electrical source, no. We will provide and set up all necessary equipment. The blower will need to be located within 75 - 100 feet of a designated, grounded, 3-prong, 110v, 20amp, GFCI electrical outlet. Also, to keep the setup process quick and efficient, please clear the area of any debris, animal droppings, or hazardous material.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my reservation?
We ask that you reschedule and not cancel your reservation. If you need to cancel or reschedule your inflatable rental, please call us as soon as possible. We understand that things come up and we will work with you to choose another day if you decide to reschedule. If you decide to cancel and not reschedule, cancellations must be made at least 14 days prior to your rental date or you will be charged a cancellation fee. If we have already delivered your rental we will not accept a cancellation.

I am not a big fan of OSX when it comes to Operating System Design - I hate several things - HFS+ is one (why do I need permissions database repair in 2009), Running 32-bit kernel on 64-bit processor while supporting 64-bit binaries (I heard this is getting addressed in next release), threading fiasco (funnels) to name a few. Just look at how many months they are taking to integrate ZFS - not even RO support is mainstream yet - that speaks volumes about design and scalability.
Given that I was very surprised to see OSX winning benchmarks against Linux and Solaris - but as you implied and I hinted in the earlier post, the benchmarks in question certainly do not seem to be representative of real-world performance.

Projects & Activities - Training
Eco-Assessor Programme on Restroom Inspection
The programme, supported by the National Environment Agency (NEA), was developed and implemented by the Restroom Association (Singapore) in 2008.
The Eco-Assessors play a vital role toward the sustainability of clean public restrooms for years to come. Given that they are trained to assess restrooms not only for cleanliness but also eco-friendly features such as energy and water-saving features, the title of "Eco-Assessor" best suits them.
There are two types of Eco-Assessors namely the Volunteer Eco-Assessor (VEA) and Certified Eco-Assessor (CEA).
VEAs will undergo a two-hour training session and upon completion, VEAs will conduct mystery assessments for restrooms under the Happy Toilet Programme (HTP). They can also educate their peers about clean restrooms and promote the HTP to restroom owners within their district.
CEAs will undergo a two-day training session and upon graduation, they will be hired by the association to certify public restrooms under the HTP. They will also submit a detailed report after each restroom audit.

Thank you bro!!! All you cats on this site are cool as hell! He goes through heads quite a bit. They stay in tune for the whole show though, which is nice. I'm using DW Tunerz on all the drums. Check those things out; Bozzio helped design them. They're great! There's some previous posts I wrote about the head situation in more detail. I don't mind being on the road too much; I've gotten pretty used to living out of a couple of suitcases... I've never gotten tired of my job really- it's not that bad, you know? :) The only sort of training was being a drummer for about 12 years before I started teching. I studied classical percussion(marimba mostly), & jazz percussion(vibes & kit) for 4 years during college, so that of course didn't hurt either. In addition, I read up on all the gear that comes out every year. Building a good rapport with the various equipment manufacturers is extremely important. Without their support, I'd be pretty screwed. I hope that answers your questions...
I'll be posting some new pics in the near future as requested... One more week until the tour starts up again... it's starting to get busy!!!! Keep stickin' it!

Conficker is not a major problem in Australasia so far, affecting mainly Sth America and Asia, but better to be safe than sorry.
It is possible to protect your computer from this problem pretty easily by changing the Domain Name Server (DNS) from your ISP to that at openDNS.com. If you do this, your browser will not connect to any Conficker infected site - pretty good, I reckon. I have used this for years and never had a problem with it.
To do this, right click on your internet connection and select properties. Highlight TCP/IP and click on properties again. Where it says Automatically select DNS, choose the next button and enter 18.104.22.168 and 126.96.36.199 in the boxes.
That's all there is to it. There are a lot of options at the site if you want them, and of course it is all free.

A millisecond pulsar has been identified via its gamma radiation using a new analysis method that allows blind searching for these unusual celestial objects.
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radio waves. Previously, they could only be found via their radio pulses.
Known as PSR J1311-3430, the pulsar is located in the constellation of Centaurus. It is called a "black widow" because it is vaporizing its smaller companion star.
A gamma-ray pulsar's properties, such as position and spin frequency over time, must be well-defined to identify it.
Its companion had already been seen, allowing limits to be placed on its orbital parameters and position.
"The companion object is small and unusually dense," says AEI Director Bruce Allen. "It is at least eight times as massive as the planet Jupiter, but has at most 60 percent the planet's radius."
PSR J1311-3430 spins 390 times per second. Its companion is about 30 times denser than the sun, and the pulsar is stripping its matter away, thus accelerating its rotation.
"Our discovery is not only a first, it also sets several new records," explains Bruce Allen.
The stellar pair's orbital period is 93 minutes, the shortest time of all known binary pulsars, and the system is only 1.4 Earth-moon separations apart, the closest known spacing to date for a pulsar.
The pulsar travels its orbit at minimum 13,000 kilometers (about 8,100 miles) per hour, while its companion is moving at up to 2.8 million kilometers (about 1.8 million miles) per hour.
The findings will be published in Science on Oct. 26.

The Labyrinths of Delmas 32
They say it will take a thousand trucks a thousand days to remove all the rubble from Port-au-Prince, and that estimation seems conservative as you drive around town. Rubble removal will be an enormous undertaking. Parsons may have landed the huge rubble removal contract-meaning the overall operation will likely be big-budget, fast and loud-but that's not stopping smaller groups from working more intimately with communities and operating with a surgical finesse.
Delmas 32 requires this sort of special attention. An extremely dense neighborhood pressed from all sides by a still-growing Port-au-Prince, Delmas 32 raised some heads as the MTPTC (Ministry of public works, transportation and communications) began tagging damaged buildings there.
The rubble began to be organized, in some cases self-organized. Flattened buildings were picked apart by their residents and moved to piles of block and dust in the narrow streets. There are piles everywhere, trapping cars in some cases and making a single-file labyrinth out of every backstreet. Some piles became the new route up to second stories.
As the MTPTC came along, buildings were rated according to their structural stability: green, yellow or red marked with spray paint and at times a stencil on the street-facing wall. It gets tricky in Delmas 32 where there are buildings behind buildings, accessed by deep zagging passageways up or down the urbanized hillside. In cases where a red buildings (to be demolished) are identified behind green or yellow buildings (to be preserved or retrofitted)…well their demolition becomes a challenge. Especially considering how even the streets in these neighborhoods can only be accessed on foot or with wheelbarrow.
The J/P Haitian Relief Organization has a few ideas for this situation, in terms of immediate rubble removal and longer-term neighborhood invigoration. They invited Architecture for Humanity to advise on urban design, and we made it to the field office yesterday for an orientation. J/P HRO recognizes Delmas 32's rich cultural distinction and wants to clear the condemned buildings and provide new constructions with the utmost respect–a necessary attitude for good design. They had just set up shop (a few tents and coverings on a rooftop) a couple weeks ago after reaching out to the local government. The mayor of Delmas 32 had had a longstanding relationship with various NGO's and is exciting by what J/P is proposing.
Delmas (pronounced "delmah") 32 is one of several numbered neighborhoods branching off the Rte de Delmas. (Delmas itself is a "commune," or political subdivision of the Port-au-Prince arrondissement.) It's still-operating markets and schools, whose wares and laugher carry themselves along the undulating corridors, and its ambitious officials make it a perfect starting point for the kind of renovation J/P HRO and Architecture for Humanity have started discussing.

I've been playing with LESS recently and have pretty much been blown away by how much better it is compared to standard CSS…
Thing is, I'm starting to wonder how many libraries = too many, should we stop learning/writing pure code?
Obviously I'm not giving up jQuery anytime soon, but I have actually been trying to learn raw JavaScript lately just to get a better understanding of the language as a whole. (And finding out why libraries are such a godsend)
The grid systems and frameworks are seemingly gaining popularity, at first I just saw them as the 'easy way out'. I know that's a stupid mindset to be in, when they are basically just trying to make us more efficient.
What's your guys view on all the libraries/frameworks, do you have more hair on your chest writing raw code?
Although libraries and frameworks and grid systems are an amazing thing, it is still very important to be able to code in the language as well. Nowadays there seem to be a lot of people that can put websites together and that may have an eye for good web design but they often run into problems in their understanding of how to use said libraries or frameworks simply because they do not understand the coding behind it. This ends up with a lot of tech support from forums and such. Also, if one doesn't know how to create your own code, you are them limited by the libraries you use and thinking outside of the box is out of the question.
There was actually a podcast on thinkvitamin about this a few days ago: http://thinkvitamin.com/podcast/ They bring up some very similar points. If you are using a grid system or such and something goes wrong, unless you understand the underlying code then you are stuffed.
If I want to use a grid system I would create it myself. That way I understand how it works and won't have any of the issues mentioned by @furrball1383 and @mtedwards.

Caveman Announce New Album And 30 Date North American Spring Tour
A lot has gone down in the year and a half since the men of Caveman released their debut album CoCo Beware, much of it out on the road. They played through a blackout in Dallas as a tornado tore the power lines down, hunted for crop circles in middle America, and saw first-hand the place where aliens landed in New Mexico. They visited the castles of seaside France and got lost in London more than once.
When a group goes through all that together, they're bound to grow as a team. What's more, while all of this was going on, each of the band's members happened to be undergoing significant changes in his own personal life. All of this combined to produce the band's follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut album CoCo Beware, slated for release this Spring on Fat Possum Records.
Fat Possum is an independent label home to an illustrious roster including The Black Keys, Band of Horses, Wavves, Yuck, Spiritualized, The Walkmen, Smith Westerns, Lissie, etc.
Caveman is made up of five proud New York natives: lead singer/songwriter Matt Iwanusa, who also adds percussion and drums to the band on record and live on stage, Guitarist Jimmy "Cobra" Carbonetti, who designs his hand- made Carbonetti Instruments from scratch, drummer and native Manhattanite Stefan Marolachakis, bassist Jeff Berrall, and Sam Hopkins on synths.

Aviation History
44 FLIGHT, 8 July 1955 P. 72 Bodmin. P.64 Mail Carrier. P.71A feeder-line aircraft. BOBOLINK TO DELTA . . . "runabout." Measuring 25ft in span and 19ft in length, the P.6 achieved 103 m.p.h. at 1,000ft and landed at 45 m.p.h. Gross loaded weight was 1,725 lb. P.9 This machine followed the P.6, in 1919, and was generally similar, except that the span was increased to 27ft 6in and the length to 24ft 8in. Two P.9s were entered in the 1922 King's Cup Race round Britain. Both acquitted themselves well. On a later page S/L. Rea tells of his successes in a P.9 at the 1927 Bournemouth meeting. Construction was orthodox (wood), but the excellence of the aerodynamic design was reflected in a performance which compared well with that of the de Havilland Moth of later years. The full load speed at 1,000ft was 104 m.p.h. and the climb to 5,000ft took 8^ minutes. Ceiling was 14,000ft and range, at full throttle, 3 hours. Empty and gross weights were, respectively, 1,244 lb and 1,770 lb. Several P.9s were sold (at £200 apiece) and a number of them were used in Australia and elsewhere. The original machine made the first air crossing of the Bass Strait to Tasmania. At least two examples were flying as late as 1929. P.JO Though following the P.9 in layout, the P. 10 was com- pletely unorthodox in construction. It first appeared at the Paris Show of 1919, and Flight's technical editor then wrote of it: ". . . the Boulton and Paul all-metal machine, P. 10, is the machine of the show, from a constructional point of view. Mr. J. D. North, aided by a very able staff of assistants, has here pro- duced something which marks a very real step forward in aero- plane construction. Personally we have always been believers in metal construction for aircraft, but we admit that until now we had scarcely thought the time ripe yet for its introduction. After seeing the P.10 and discussing it with Mr. North, we are inclined P.8 Atlantic. to think that the time is already here when metal construction, if scientifically carried out, is not only possible as a substitute for wood, but is even superior in many respects. For instance, the weight of the P.10 actually comes out lighter than the same machine built in wood in the ordinary way, while its strength is, if anything, superior to that of the wood machine. This, how- ever, is not the chief point of the design, although it incidentally proves to what state of perfection Boulton and Paul have carried metal construction. The chief advantage will probably be found in the longer life of the steel structure." Even more remarkable than the Boulton and Paul metal work was the use of plastics (this in 1919), the rear fuselage of the P.10 being a monocoque built up of Bakelite Dilecto sheets held between high-tensile steel formers and stringers. Yet another novelty was the swinging mounting—the first of its kind—which gave ready access to the rear of the Cosmos Lucifer three-cylinder radial engine without disturbing the control runs. The span of the P.10 was 30ft and all-up weight 1,750 lb. P.41 Phoenix The first experimental version of this two-seat light monoplane was shown at Olympia in 1929. Powered with a 40 h.p. A.B.C. Scorpion engine, it was, in reality, what would now be called an aerodynamic test vehicle, and differed very much in structure from the second edition, which was intended as a production model, and was powered with a 40 h.p. Salmson nine- cylinder radial. The all-steel system of construction developed for the Phoenix (wherein the normal riveting was replaced through- out by spot welding, resulting in a very effective and cheap method of manufacture) was later widely used on the Blackburn B.2 trainer. A point of unusual interest was that the rudder was identical, and interchangeable, with each half of the elevator. The span was 30ft and the normal all-up weight 1,000 lb. TRANSPORTS "-•••• »•' - P.8 Atlantic For the great transatlantic contest of 1919 Boulton and Paul prepared a long-range civil version of the Bourges under the foregoing designation, and of this Flight wrote in May of that year: "One of the most important features of the Boulton and Paul machine is that after a short time in the air (about two hours for the amount of fuel carried for the transatlantic flight) the machine is able to keep aloft on one engine only. The importance of this can scarcely be exaggerated. It will mean, looking at it in another way, that after two hours the two Napier engines need only be run at half their power. This should mean an enormous increase in their chance to 'stick it' for the whole journey. It is further to be noted that the 'cruising speed' of the machine is as high as 116 m.p.h. This is probably the highest cruising speed of any machine entered so far for the race. When flying at the cruising speed the range of the Boulton and Paul machine has been calculated to be about 3,850 miles, so that there is an ample margin in hand for the transatlantic journey." Fuel was carried in six tanks, each fitted with jettison valves operated by a lock control in the cockpit. These valves could discharge the whole of the fuel in li minutes, and the tanks were so situated that when empty they would keep the machine afloat and right-way-up. A crew of three was intended for the Atlantic crossing, a first pilot (Major K. S. Savory), second pilot and wireless operator (Capt. A. L. Howarth), and navigator (Capt. J. H. Woolner). Flight added: "Two independent wireless sets will be fitted, a 'spark' wireless for sending and receiving messages, and a 'directional' for navigation purposes. A small hydrogen bottle and a balloon will be carried so as to make it possible to send up an 'aerial' for sending wireless 'S.O.S.' even after the machine is on the sea . . ." After several months had been spent in studying meteorological conditions over the North Atlantic and in perfecting navigational arrangements, an advance party, headed by Major Guy ffiske, visited Newfoundland to select a suitable site for take-off. Alas, all these preparations were nullified by an accident on the first flight. The P.8 had just left the ground when one of the Napier Lion engines cut out and the aircraft slewed round side-to-wind. A wing-tip touched the ground, and the aircraft was wrecked. A duplicate was under construction but before this could be pre- pared for the Atlantic crossing Sir John Alcock and Sir Arthur Whitten Brown had conquered the Atlantic in the Vickers Vimy, and further arrangements were abandoned. The second machine was completed and used for a considerable period on full-scale aerodynamic research work. Span was 61ft, length 40ft, and loaded weight about 7,000 lb. Estimated top speed at 10,000ft was 149 m.p.h. P.12 Bodmin The Bodmin was described by the Air Ministry as

I do a ton from scratch. Stock, both veg and meat, plus all the usual. I tried bread but even after many many many tries it never came out as good as the artisan bread I can buy. My stock is delish so I compromise on the bread.
Any really good ideas for made from scratch you do?
mayamade soap + apothecary for family + home website and Etsy shop where I work with (and love) plants.
I'm not sure if I do everything completely from scratch. I haven't made bread in awhile, but I do like it when I make it. I don't make pasta from scratch either, although I'm tempted to try it. I do like making stock from scratch, however.
I need a good recipe for refried beans, though, because I like making bean burritos, but I don't seem to ever do the same thing twice, and it would be nice to have something good.
Many soups
Most veg & meat dishes
Salads in general
I would like to make pasta, but I don't have the right equipment. I enjoyed making it as a child.
Me + DH = DD (1/2004) & DS (6/2013) & One on the way (11/2015)
Hmm. Regularly? Chicken stock, bread (including pizza bases, raisin bread, burger buns, foccacia, fougasse, you name it), gravy, custard, sauerkraut, pastry (including puff pastry) and sponge cake for any purpose (ie, even if it's for a trifle.) I usually cook my own dried beans or lentils rather than using canned. I make my own pizza sauce, but it has tomato paste in it - does that count? Oh, and I make my own ice cream - haven't bought ice cream in years! With an ice cream maker and a good recipe, the homemade stuff is so much better. Well, better than the cheap stuff we were previously buying, at any rate. :p
In the past I've made jelly from scratch; I've also occasionally, experimentally dabbled with cream cheese, jam, fresh pasta, butter and ginger beer, but I have no intention of taking those up on a regular basis. :p I make my own basil pesto when I have enough fresh basil, but I'm a terrible gardener so that's rare!
I do buy won ton wrappers and peanut butter (the homogenised, commercial stuff, even - I mostly use it in baking, and the 'natural'-type stuff doesn't work so well for that). Also ravioli on rare occasions (DH doesn't like it.) I also keep custard powder on hand, but NOT for custard - just for one specific cupcake recipe I have. :p And oddly enough, I'm snobbish about boiling up my own sweetened condensed milk into dulce de leche rather than buying the pre-caramelised stuff, but I have zero desire to make the sweetened condensed milk itself in the first place. Though come to think of it, maybe that's all because the only brand of pre-caramelised stuff you can get here is Nestle, which I boycott?
Anyway, don't let it cause you angst. Making stuff from scratch is great if you have the time and inclination, but it's not worth stressing yourself out over. I *could* learn to master non-rubbery jam and have the warm glow of a pantry of well-filled shelves with gingham squares on the jars... but ehh. I don't really want to, it'd almost certainly cost more than buying jam, and it's really easy to find commercial jam that's additive-free and as low-sugar as your average homemade recipe. So I don't let it make me feel like a Bad Mother. Ditto buying cans of chopped tomatoes and sweetcorn. And Bundaberg, which not only won't explode in your garage, but doesn't taste like dishwater...
If decomposition persists please see your necromancer.

VODACOM customers in Tanzania can now enjoy faster data speeds following the company's continued investment in its 3G networks and connection to the National ICT Broadband Backbone (NICTBB).
Vodacom Tanzania's Managing Director, Mr Rene Meza, said in a statement on Wednesday that the phone company has connected its northern optic fibre ring -- Dar es Salaam - Arusha - Dodoma to the NICTBB some five weeks ago. "Vodacom customers in these areas today continue to enjoy seamless communication as well as improved data speeds on Vodacom's 3G network," he said.
Adding that: "Vodacom has invested over 800m/- in the NITCBB project." He explained that the move has already yielded tremendous results with the firm's subscribers in Morogoro, Tanga, Moshi, Arusha, Babati, Singida, Dodoma and Iringa. "Connection to the NICTBB coupled with our investment in 3 G will allow our customers to enjoy even faster data speeds compared to what they had in the past, " he said.
Vodacom's move to connect to the NICTBB has also boosted efficiencies in data transmission from Mwanza and Mbeya which are also linked through Dodoma. Mr Meza said Vodacom fully supports government efforts to ensure that many Tanzanians get improved access to ICT services.
"Connecting to the Dar es Salaam - Arusha - Dodoma NICTBB ring which has a capacity of 622 Megabits Per Second (Mbps) is a clear indication of our support," he says. He said phase two of the connection to the NICTBB project would see the closing of the Dodoma-Mwanza- Mbeya ring as well as the Dodoma - Mbeya - Dar. "This is expected to start in April, this year," he added.

DOVER, Del. (June 1, 2008) – Carl Edwards was able to overcome a 14th-place starting position to finish second at Dover International Speedway on Sunday afternoon, recording his fourth consecutive podium finish at the one-mile oval. Edwards advanced to the fourth position in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings after posting his sixth top-five finish of the 2008 season.
Edwards took the green flag in the 14th position, and quickly began advancing through the field. Edwards reported to crew chief Bob Osborne in the early going that his Office Depot Ford was handling well, and it showed as he advanced to the 10th position at lap six. Edwards' forward progress was slowed when a huge wreck occurred at lap 17. The racetrack was littered with debris, forcing NASCAR officials to display the red flag to allow safety crews to clean the race surface. Once the flag was lifted, the leaders made their way down pit road for service. Edwards came to the attention of the No. 99 crew, taking on right side tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment. Quick work by the Office Depot team advanced Edwards to the sixth position for the lap 25 restart.
Once green flag racing resumed, Edwards continued his march towards the front of the field. Despite being loose off the corners, he was able to advance to the third position at lap 54. He held the spot until the caution flag was displayed at lap 66, when he surrendered the position to come to pit road for tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment. A slow stop cost the No. 99 team two positions, sending Edwards back on track in the fifth position for the lap 71 restart.
Edwards overcame his problems on pit road, picking off positions over the course of the next green flag run. At lap 90, Edwards overtook Kyle Busch for the second position, and began to chase down teammate Greg Biffle for the race lead. Edwards was able to close the gap on Biffle, eventually overtaking him for the lead at lap 148 when the No. 16 came to pit road for a green flag stop. Edwards held the lead for one lap before he too came to pit road for tires, fuel and an air pressure adjustment. Edwards rejoined the field in the fifth position, but advanced to the third spot when the cycle of green flag pit stops completed.
Edwards once again overtook Busch and Biffle to reassume the lead at lap 171. He reported that he was fighting a loose condition on corner entry and exit, but the handling problems did not slow Edwards down. He continued to stretch his lead over the course of the green flag run, relinquishing the top spot at lap 232 when he came to pit road for a green flag pit stop. The Office Depot team sent Edwards off pit road with four tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment in 13.4 seconds, putting him second in the running order once the cycle of stops completed.
Edwards continued to hold the second position over the next green flag run, but complained that his Office Depot Ford was extremely loose. Crew chief Bob Osborne made the call for a track bar adjustment on the next pit stop to help tighten up the No. 99 for the closing stages of the race. When the leaders began to come to pit road for green flag pit stops at lap 316, Edwards followed suit. He came to pit road to take on tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment to help tighten the Office Depot Ford for the final laps of the race. Quick work on pit road allowed Edwards to hold the second position as the leaders cycled through their pit stops.
Edwards reported to the crew that something had changed with the handling of his No. 99 Ford, that it felt as if he had no front grip. Edwards did what he could to chase down the race leader Kyle Busch, but his struggles with the handling would not allow him to chase down the race leader. Edwards took the checkered flag in the second position, recording his fifth top-two finish of the 2008 season.
"That 18 car got us again," said Edwards. "I felt like our Office Depot car was at least as strong as anyone and probably the best car for a lot of the race. On that last run we got off pit road just a little bit slow and then the car was just not quite as fast for the first half of that last run as it needed to be. So it's very frustrating to finish second with that good of a race car, but we battled all day and that's what we ended up with. I feel like I passed a lot of cars today – a lot."
Following their second-place finish at Dover, Edwards and the No. 99 Office Depot team advanced to the fourth position in the NASCAR Sprint Cup point standings, 337 markers behind point leader Kyle Busch. The Sprint Cup Series races next at Pocono Raceway on Sunday, June 8, 2008.

Cisco has released a security update to address a flaw in its line of wireless LAN controllers.The company on Tuesday issued security fixes to address a number of flaws with impacts ranging from denial-of-service to complete control of the device by an attacker.Cisco said that the vulnerabilities mainly centered around the handling of HTTP and HTTPS commands, as well as a flaw concerning the handling of SSH requests. Attackers can target the flaws by sending malformed code or specially crafted commands, causing a denial of service and possibly giving the attacker network access.Among the products said to be vulnerable to one or more of the attacks are Cisco's 1500, 2000, 2100, 4100, 4200 and 4400 Wireless Service Modules as well as the company's Integrated Service Routers and 3750G wireless LAN controllers. The company is advising administrators to upgrade the vulnerable devices to the latest software versions or implement company-recommended workarounds.Cisco's fix is the latest in what could be a very busy week for some administrators. Earlier this week Microsoft issued a pair of out of cycle patches to address a pair of vulnerabilities which have been actively targeted in malware attacks.
