Birthdays are a time to celebrate, reflect, be with those close to us and look toward another year of growth.
The Covington City Council made a smart move last week when it voted to back off a hastily conceived plan to change city policy on pensions as they relate to retirees who come back to work for the Covington government.
The timing of this year's Father's Day is fitting.
As the Board of Commissioners prepares to convene Tuesday night, our elected representatives face a stark choice between raising the millage rate or making even more cuts to the budget, which will inevitably affect the hard working employees of Newton County.
Life is very fleeting. None of us knows when our existence will end on this earth. Last week, 44-year-old Mun Hyuk Cha, a kind, hard-working businessman and owner of Magnet Package Store, and 39-year-old Otonicar Jimquez Aikens, a father who had just stopped by to pick up some things, were probably discussing the weather or exchanging pleasantries when Jeffery Pitts, a disgruntled customer, stormed in with a gun and ended their lives.
Piedmont Newton Hospital - it does have a nice ring to it.
Throughout the last seven days there was plenty to celebrate, with a big week of appreciation coming on the heels of Mother's Day.
There is one thing that is as certain as anything can be - that our mothers, whether we are close to them or not, will always have a special place in our hearts.

While it lasted, it was a beautiful sight, but by sunset Saturday most of the winter snow had disappeared.
The Roman Catholic Church has never wavered on beliefs about conception and the right to life. Pope Benedict XVI has made it very clear that the church does not condone the use of condoms in Africa or anywhere for that matter.
Harry Knox who serves as an adviser on President Obama's council on Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnership said because of the Catholic Church's long standing doctrine, the Pope is hurting people in the name of Jesus.
Clarke's Grove has been an innovative neighborhood since its construction. Again, Clark's Grove is leading the way in energy efficiency.
In a collaboration between the home owners' association and Hannah Solar of Atlanta, a $250,000 stimulus grant was obtained to install solar paneling on the retail units in the neighborhood. Each unit owner also had to match some funds - to the tune of a $30,000 combined investment.

February is a month that has been set aside to celebrate Black history month. As is traditional, we have had the chance to honor some prominent Black leaders of our community.
According to information provided us by county clerk Jackie Smith, the Newton County BOC will be holding their retreat at the Burge Plantation on Feb. 20 and 21.
It's freezing cold down here in Dixie! Listen, I fully expect the South to be humid and hot, balmy and breezy, and stifling and sticky, but nowhere did I sign up for frigid and frozen. We southerners will tolerate an occasional ice storm or that rare centimeter or two of snow, but weather like we've had for the past few months is nuts. The only solution to this craziness is to learn to control the weather ourselves. We try to control the economy, our destiny, and our kids, why can't we take on the weather? Would it ...

Members of the Covington City Council had to make a very hard decision Monday night.
The 4-2 vote allowed the folks who run the nonprofit Garden of Gethsemane Homeless Shelter to have a pass on their $5,000 utility deposit and to pay a little each month on their past due bills.

On a recent weekday, reigning Iditarod champion John Baker and his team of 17 sled dogs circled the roads of Kotzebue. Lead dogs Velvet and Snickers guided the trot as Baker rode behind in a three-quarter-ton Chevy pickup.
Another fall day. Another training run above the Arctic Circle for Baker's record-busting kennel.
This week, however, the Inupiaq musher is taking a break. Like thousands of Alaskans from towns and villages across the state, Baker is headed to Anchorage for the Alaska Federation of Natives convention.
Not only the largest annual gathering of Alaska Natives, the three-day meeting is the biggest regular convention of any kind in the state, the Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau said. Alaska's mega-meeting, in other words, is back in town.
The conference begins Thursday at the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center downtown with Baker making the keynote speech. The related First Alaskans Elders and Youth Conference begins today.
The visitors bureau expects about 4,200 people to visit the city for AFN while the First Alaskans Institute anticipates about 1,300 for the elders and youth gathering, where people young and old will talk about the past, present and future of Alaska Native culture and language.
All told, convention organizers, attendees and their families are expected to spend more than $7 million while they are here, said Julie Saupe, chief executive for the convention and visitors bureau. Many delegates live in far-flung villages, some from communities where there is no running water, let alone Costco.
"A lot of these folks are coming for medical and dental work as well," Saupe said. "It's a shopping trip for them more than for your traditional convention delegate."
The meeting also is a time for people from villages and towns scattered across Alaska to say hello to old friends and flex the combined political muscle of AFN's 37-member board representing nearly 180 villages.
Last year's convention in Fairbanks briefly transformed into a campaign rally for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who was waging an unprecedented write-in campaign to fend off Republican primary winner Joe Miller.
The year before, rural subsistence hunting and fishing rights took center stage as the Obama administration pledged to review federal subsistence oversight in the state. In 2008, soaring rural energy prices prompted AFN delegates to call for pricing caps.
At this year's convention, Murkowski plans to hold a field hearing of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. The topic: Alaska's devastating youth suicide rate.
"To really delve into more of the issues surrounding youth suicide. Some of the connections that we know to be at play," Murkowski said in a video address announcing the hearing. "Whether it's depression. Whether it's witnessing acts of violence within the home. Whether it's just lack of support."
Rep. Don Young, Sen. Mark Begich, Gov. Sean Parnell and others also will appear before the delegates. The 2011 conference theme is "Strength In Unity."
Among the many speakers, Kwethluk tribal administrator Max Angellan said he plans to talk about how the tribal government, city government and village corporation in his Yup'ik community are working together on projects like a new plumbing system.
Baker is scheduled to speak at 10:20 a.m. Thursday. He said his message will be one of teamwork too. And perseverance.
"I can only share the experiences that I have as far as making sure that I'm willing to work hard even though sometimes it's easier for me to give up in the Iditarod," he said. "I just keep trying hard and never quit."
This will be Baker's first visit to AFN, he said. Usually he's training this time of year.

Ketamine is an N-methyl-D-aspar tate receptor antagonist that has been in clinical use in the USA for over 30 years. Its ability to provide profound analgesia and amnesia while maintaining spontaneous respiration makes it an ideal medication for procedure-related pain and trauma. In the chronic pain arena, its use continues to evolve. There is strong evidence to support its short-term use for neuropathic and nociceptive pain, and conflicting evidence for preemptive analgesia. Its potential ability to prevent 'windup' and, possibly, 'reboot' aberrant neurologic pathways in neuropathic and central pain states has generated intense interest. However, the long-term use of ketamine for chronic neuropathic pain is limited by its side effect profile, and is largely anecdotal. More research is needed to better ascertain its long-term efficacy and side effects, to determine the ideal candidates for sustained treatment and to develop means of exploiting the antinociceptive properties of ketamine while minimizing the adverse effects.

So my husband thinks I'm ugly?
My husband told me earlier tonight that he loves me, but I'm not physically attractive to him. Apparently he never wanted to marry an attractive... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Wow! I thought when a person loves someone they don't try to harm that person. Makes you wonder what's going on inside his head? You gotta figure out how much it bothers you that he may be a super jealous person. What happens if you have a guy friend? How much does it bother you that he doesn't think you are attractive and maybe settled for you because of his insecurities?
What Guys Said 7
I think if I found out someone I was with decided they would settle for me I would be rather upset.
Your husband sounds like a real winner there btw. Who tells their wife that? How did the conversation come up?
He is super jealous and super insecure so I would worry about that down the road.
What Girls Said 4
I don't think he meant to hurt you with his words. He probably genuinely loves you. Young kids think that love is all about attraction and sparks, but really there are zillions of things that people get out of a marriage.
Someone to...
go out and have fun with
enjoy a stable home life with
raise children with
make dinner
count on
My guess is that what your husband was trying to tell you is that physical beauty isn't very high on the list of things that are important to him in a spouse. He might be trying to tell you that who you fundamentally are underneath is the most amazing thing in the world. It's not half bad to find someone that loves you for your soul.
If, on the other hand, he just thinks that he can treat you poorly and you will stay unconditionally - LEAVE. Because that is total bullsh*t.
If you are otherwise pretty happy in this relationship... If he takes care of you and your feelings (except for occasional communication issues) and does things to show he cares... then I would probably chalk this up to a horrible foot in the mouth moment where he was trying to say that he loves you for your soul and it came out as "you are unattractive."
That's just the start, he will first start to bring you down calling you ugly and it only get's worse from there. You should never be with someone who is going to put you down and make you feel bad about yourself. You can do sooooooo much better because no one deserves to be treated that way. He wants you to feel like sh*t about yourself and make you feel like you don't deserve better.
My mom is currently married to a guy who calls her ugly, fat, the C word, very verbally abusive. And it all first began when you called her ugly.
You don't deserve to be called that, and you deserve to have someone who will call you beautiful all the time and make you feel it as well.
well as long as he treats you right and doesn't always tell you to do this or that to your body, then just chill. Like my brother always tells my sister in law she is too fat and to get skinnier but she can't because she had 3 kids and she's just big boned. Well I think he should tell you more of what he does think is beautiful on you, like maybe he thinks your hair is beautiful in a certain way. Maybe that will help you feel like he is attracted to you. But even though I am not super attracted to my guy, I don't tell him all the time I think he is ugly. Although he says it himself. He hates it when I tell him he is too skinny so I try not to mention anything like that at all. Maybe if you let your husband know what you don't like for him to say, he will stop mentioning... OK enough of my rambling. good luck
Have an opinion?

God is talking to Sarah Palin again. Not sure if it was by twittering this time
This time from God's lips to Palin's ears came this: the Founding Fathers really didn't want the separation of church and state.
Somebody with a magic marker quill must have snuck into Liberty Hall and penciled it in the Constitution when nobody was looking.
There she goes again, putting words in the mouth of the Founding Fathers.
No, the Founding Fathers meant to say you've got to separate the churches from the states. You know, so every state would haveits fair share of churches.
She probably would make a mockery of Jefferson's quote "I cannot live without books." Probably reword it to say "I cannot live without people paying for my book."
Jefferson's "If God is just, I tremble for my country" would be butchered by Palin to be something along the lines of "I don't tremble for my country because God is just."
And forget about T.J.'s "Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
Palin's following is more along the line of butchering FDR's famous line to stop at "We have nothing but fear."
Diva Destruction said that hearing President Obama say America isn't a Christian country "is mind-boggling."
Every thought that Palin has or haswritten by someone else boggles the mind.
"I cling to my religion 'cos that's all I got," Palin has said.
Actually, you also got a lot of nerve.
You and your clan are a mockery of democracy.
By the way, speaking of religion, what about that video of you having the demon snakes driven out of you by that faith healer?
Sarah the Sanctimonious.
What if God was one of you.
What if you also heard the Almighty tell you stuff like this:
1. "Stop with the namedropping already."
2. "I've given everyone the gift of free will —- so feel free to shut up."
3. "The Founding Fathers are all up here in Paradise and they want you to know that they've all seen you naked."
4. "I never spoke to George W. Bush and told him to run for president. That wasn't God, that was his dog. George is a bit dyslexic. Which still doesn't explain his speechifyin.' "
5. "If you're going to continue delivering the stupid, at least curb that annoying shrilly voice."

A newly discovered grasshopper by University of Central Florida scientists now bears the name of Grammy-award winning singer and activist Ana Lila Downs Sanchez.
The scientists named the new species discovered on the side of a mountain road near Oaxaca, Mexico, after the Mexican-American singer as a nod to her efforts to preserve indigenous culture and penchant for wearing colorful, local costumes as part of her performances.
"It was primarily Paolo's idea to name the grasshopper after the singer" said Derek Woller, one of the authors of the paper referring to colleague Paolo Fontana. "He's a big fan of Lila Downs (her stage name). The grasshopper is so beautiful, so vibrant and colorful. When he told us all about her, her work, her colorful clothes, and that she was born in the region where we found the specimens, we thought, yeah, that's great, let's do it."
The grasshopper measures about an inch long on average and resembles a fiery rainbow with blue, red, yellow, orange and black markings. The first pictures of the new species make their debut in an article in this month's Zootaxa journal. http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2014/f/zt03793p495.pdf
Woller, Fontana, Ricardo Mario-Prez and Hojun Song are the authors of the paper. Woller is a Ph.D. candidate and Mario-Prez is a Ph.D. student in Biology Professor Song's lab while Fontana is a researcher at the Edmund Mach Foundation in Pergine Valsugana, Italy.
The men were doing fieldwork for another grasshopper study in a pine-oak forest of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountain Range in Oaxaca, Mexico, when they came across their discovery in 2011.
"We were surprised that a grasshopper of that size and found next to the road wasn't discovered before," Mario-Prez said.
The team did some research, returned again in 2013 to see if they could find more grasshoppers and

text: [[WMG: Alexis Thorpe was not human or at least already knew that John was immortal.]]This is the young girl who asked if John met any dinosaurs think about that for a moment she's a college student asking something a question that most children under the age of 10 would know the answer to. Then when people start getting angry or scared she just sits there like none of this stuff is new to her until the end where she ask the question that proves all of this real "Your name it's a pun isn't it Oldman 'Old Man' did that help you with your story?" smiles a knowing smile and walks off without fear or amazement like she knew he was lying about it all being a lie from the start. Also as a side note she is the only person apart from John Oldman or Will Gruber who has a last name or at least according to IMDB[[WMG: The Man In The 1600's was...]]* Another of John's relations, it's not too much of a stretch to guess that the ImmortalProcreationClause got averted properly for at least one of them.* Not the guy. Just looked like him, no relation at all.* [[ComicBook/TheSandman Hob Gadling]]* [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Kenneth]] from Series/ThirtyRock.* VandalSavage. (Inspired by a quip in the {{Expy}} entry in the main page.)* [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]]. He just happened to see the same incarnation two times a few centuries apart.[[WMG: John is [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Mr. Flint]] ]]* or at least an alternative version of Mr. Flint, as Star Trek was [[MutuallyFictional mentioned]].* John is 14,000 years old, more than twice as old as Flint claimed to be. Maybe the other immortal John met in the 1600's was Flint.[[WMG: John is [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} The Emperor of Mankind]] ]]* A bit of a stretch, perhaps, but his people ''did'' think he was a shaman (psyker) and the Emperor is at one point implied to have been the inspiration for Jesus. The main problem with this (besides the otherwise vastly different tones) is that John claims to be (probably) from (what is now) France, whereas the Emperor is from Anatolia (now known as Turkey).** Unless John found out his reconstruction of his distant past was wrong. Not a stretch considering how little he has to go on.[[WMG: John is just a delusional regular guy after all]]* But he has the same father as Gruber. The guy has a habit of abandoning families and leaving messed up kids behind. John knows stuff from Gruber's childhood because his father told him, and looks enough like his father to provoke the shock of recognition in Gruber who last saw the guy some 50 years ago.* Yeah except that john is explicitly said to be in his mid-30's, and Gruber is in his early 70's so unless Gruber's father dated someone in his 60's or 70's, John is Ageless.* Um, guys...John IS Gruber's father.

Are rogue DHCP servers a serious network risk?
Rogue DHCP servers can cause everything from a network outage to an outright interception of network traffic. In this SearchSecurity.com Q&A, network security expert Mike Chapple explains the seriousness of the threat and reveals which tools can detect rogue servers.

wreak all sorts of havoc on your network. In the best case, it could simply offer every client an identical IP address, resulting in a network outage when all hosts believe they were leased the same address. In the worst case, the rogue server could set the default gateway to be the IP address of an attacker's proxy server. In such a scenario, an attacker could intercept all traffic leaving the host.
For this reason, it's important to ensure that you don't have rogue DHCP servers on your network. Microsoft's DHCP Server Location Utility is a great tool that allows you to search your network for active DHCP servers. You can also provide it with a list of authorized DHCP servers and configure it to alert you immediately if a rogue server is detected. Due to the risks described above, you should take action to immediately disconnect any rogue servers on your network.

KTM LC8 Exhaust and Auxillary Tank
View Single Post
Joined: Jul 2003
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Oddometer: 12,052
I finally got a chance to check the 2->1 shown above on a dyno. To do it, I had to venture into the heart of darkness...
Very nice folks, actually! We decided I should swap my worn 908 for a scorpion for the dyno, they came out to watch me change the tire and were bug-eyed when I pulled off a sub 10 minute swap in the cold. I got a private chuckle out of that, not sure how often they see that from their dentist crowd...
Into the war room:
Pull the pin and stand back:
I tested the bike 3 ways. Everything else, jetting, tire pressure, etc, remained the same otherwise.
1) 2 into 1, neptune exhaust, baffle out.
2) 2 into 1, neptune exhaust, baffle in.
3) 2 into 2, neptune exhausts, baffles in.
I would have liked to test more variations, but this ain't free.
Pictures speak louder than words:
The answer is a resounding hell-yeah. Peak horsepower was made with the 2 into 1 installed, baffle out, and the 2 into 2 and 2 into 1 with baffle(s) in were within 6/10ths of a hp peak.
There are some additional changes in character that are more important, in my opinion.
First, the 2 into 1 options seemed to perform better below 5k RPM, with somewhere between 1 and 4 more pound feet of torque. From the saddle, this feels apparent, with a smoother bottom than stock, somewhere that is commonly useful.
Second, the 2 into 2 option really only has an advantage from about 5 to 7k RPM, where it in turn makes 1-4 more lb/ft. This is the "hit" that is apparent from the saddle on the stock bike, which is considerably smoothed by the 2 into 1, not only because of the minor loss in this area but also because it's stronger below, so the gains present are less apparent.
On pavement, the 5k hit is fun to "surf", but in the dirt, IMO, the more linear the power the better, as it makes it easier to retain connection with the rear tire. The bike still has plenty of go at these revs, to sacrifice a few pound feet up here in exchange for a smooth characteristic is a worthy tradeoff, again IMO.
On top (7k up), there isn't much between them. Baffled vs. baffled, they are very close. Unbaffled 2 into 1 beats them both, and I suspect unbaffled 2 into 2 would equal or beat that. Anyway, I don't ride there much, so that it's within a few is all that's important to me.
Jetting was as we ran it in Baja (too rich) and was not changed between the 3 pulls.
So, the power of this system is arguably better than stock, depending on what you're looking for, but the biggest advantage to me is the weight loss. Stock cans weigh 11 lbs EACH, up high, and as far from center of mass as possible. Aftermarket cans vary between about 5 lbs and about 9 lbs. A 2 into 1 system loses that weight instantly, as well as freeing space for a tank, a map tube, whatever.
I was impressed enough with this outcome to think there's a product here, hence my posting in Vendors. I spoke to some buddies that run a racecar shop, and they turned me on to a fabricator who can produce these. I sent him the prototype, and finally got a quote back for a low production volume, which I need to decide whether to give the go ahead on.
The offering would be a 2 into 1 that looks exactly like this:
This will fit any muffler that bolts to the stock "H" pipe, including stock of course. It will use all stock mounting points.
The piece for sale would not made from pieces of a stocker, obviously.
Instead of the crappy chroming of stock, this would be
coated, which will never blue, is easy to clean, promotes good flow characteristics, and so forth. The price would be $225 shipped in the US.
Some changes will have to be made to fit an adventure, I haven't tested these yet but they would be on top of my list to do. There would be an offering for both SE and ADV owners in any case. The SM is different, so no love there.
If you're interested and/or have questions, please let me know either with a post here, or a PM, or an email from my profile. I intend to make a decision fairly quickly, and once I do, the pieces would be 6-8 weeks out, so still in time for riding season.

Find out how to highlight a cause, express a point of view, and tell a story with Adobe Premiere Pro and some essential documentary editing techniques. This course breaks down the documentary process into a series of stages that correspond to the milestones of a real client project. Starting with existing footage, you'll discover how to identify the key messaging concepts and log the footage. Then find out how to assemble rough and fine-tuned cuts, and layer in motion graphics and a credit roll. The final phase explores color correction and audio mixing, before exporting your final movie.
This course is part of a series that looks at Documentary Editing from the point of view of 3 different editors in 3 different editing applications. For more insight on editing documentary projects, take a look at Documentary Editing with Avid Media Composer and Documentary Editing with Final Cut Pro X.
We have a singular goal in this movie. There is a couple elements that we haven't even introduced to the project. I'm thinking of two things, the stills that we prepared earlier and also music tracks that we have to work with. What I want to do now is just incorporate both of these items into the Timeline and into the project, not worrying too much about exactly how they will work, I am not going to animate the photos, and I am not going to mix the music. I am just going to get the rest of the elements that don't appear on our Timeline yet to appear there, so all of my ingredients will be available to me.
I need to use my Media Browser so I what to open that Window, and then I want to create just a little bit more space so I can navigate. Great. Now I want to go to where I saved those stills with the PSDs that we worked on already, and those are our treated images. I want to do both of them, but I want to stay organized up in my Project Panel as well so that I mean a new bin for stills and then just a drag of both of these into that bin.
But we are going to have some choices and they are important. In this case, Merge All Layers is going to be just fine. Later on if we want to go back and make edits to the Photoshop file we can do that, but this is not a case where we're working with separate layers. So go ahead and bring them in all as Merge Layers and same thing with our second shot. Great. We've created a stills folder here, and I also want to create a music bin, and we just need to navigate to where our music is, and we can bring both of those in.
Okay, let's get them on the Timeline, and at least with the stills, we already know basically where they're going, which is in this section right here. So we're not going to animate them or do anything fancy yet, we're just going to incorporate first the market still. There's going to be plenty of time for the timing on these, so just slug them in there kind of where they belong, I often like to sort of split the difference. So I have got X amount of time open on my Timeline, and I am just going to fill these with both of them.
I am going to situate them, I said, I'm not doing detailed work but that doesn't mean I want to frame it so that you know his face isn't in the frame. So I'm just going to quickly go ahead and reposition. It's all about content at this stage. I'm not concerned are we moving up or down on BD, I'm just concerned it's a shot of BD's face, and here again. My concern isn't the perfect final it's just that I've got a visual representation of what the content is.
Okay, let's work on the music, scroll down a little bit, make my self some space, and I am going to put music on two tracks Audio 3 and 4. So I'll go ahead and name those with music 1 and music 2. Now sometimes, and this piece may be one of those times it's actually going to be fine to have all your music on one track, but I'd like to alternate them in case there is an overlap in music we have two tracks to work with and slide things around.
So if you listen to the two tracks of music, for me they really fit pretty easily with the two major scenes we have here which are the farm and then the market. So this one, Silent Charm. (music playing) I thought right away that's our farm track, and if we give a little listen to where we are remember that we have these great nats to work with too at the very beginning. So I don't want to bring it in before nats, but... (video playing) ...I think somewhere around where we cut to this tight shot, I am sort of envisioning a little bit of a rhythmic transition where the music comes in.
And as I listen to this there are some weird sounds at the beginning that I wasn't too fond of, let's take a close look. (music playing) Yeah, that spacey sound, not really doing it, but it's really when the guitar comes in that I like it so go ahead and eliminate that with a quick in and then just drag that music down onto our new music 1 track. Okay, it's long so identify where we make that transition to the Farmers Market around there, and trim this back, there's going to be plenty of times for adjustment later, and let's deploy our second track called Delayed Goodbye starting right there.
(music playing) Yeah, I like that change in tone, it really feels like we're moving from one place to the other I think when we switch tracks like that. So lets incorporate that, and we'll go ahead and move them down on Music 2. Again I'm not sure if I am really gong to need 1 and 2 in this case, but in case I need to sort of finesse that transition having them on separate tracks--or checker-boarded as we call it--means that I'll be able to slide one under the other and create a smooth transition if necessary.
So currently if you watch this cut I would not call it a rough cut, but I would call it an assembly. I think at this point when all the ingredients are incorporated basically in the right order nothing has been massaged or finished to a degree of perfection but everything is represented on the Timeline and I'm comfortable calling that an assembly cut. Go ahead and give it a watch while we didn't watch our full cut too much as we were building it, now our process is going to be to watch and change a lot.

Today, we announced that Office for Mac 2011 Home and Business and Communicator for Mac 2011 will be included in all Visual Studio Premium and Ultimate with Subscription Levels. This is the first time since I've worked with MSDN subscriptions (which dates back pretty far) that Office for Mac has been included.
I have a lot of customer who use Macs as well as have PCs. So if you're a Visual Studio 2010 Premium or Ultimate user, and you have use a Mac as well, you now have a copy of Office for Mac 2011 and Communicator for Mac 2011 that can be used for production purposes. This helps reduce your cost on the Office products for both Windows and Mac.
To learn more about the features in Office for Mac 2011, check out the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/
download not working, product key generation not working. i checked with two MSDN accounts and three machines in three networks. Google search confirms this error among other users... any update?
I am not sure if this is the right place, but I am facing a small issue with Outlook 2011 and the global address list. Unless you are VPN'd in and connected to the LDAP server, you cannot download the GAL. In the Windows version this is NOT a requirement, the GAL can be downloaded via the Exchange server. This was also the problem in Entourage, but there was a 3rd party Apple Script that let you look up names. Apple has managed to figure this out as the GAL is available in Apple Mail, in the Apple Address Book, etc. So what is the deal here. Do I have to open the LDAP/AD server for the GAL lookups for the Mac's only?
Please let me know.
Looks like Communicator for Mac got pulled from MSDN Subscriptions - MSDN Support indicates that its not available to MSDN Users. Any reason why?

It's always been our dream to have our children conceived using the same donor. Now that we are pregnant with our first, we've been planning on buying more vials of our donor. I found out today that he has fewer vials than I originally anticipated (although still a sufficient amount), so now I'm getting antsy to stockpile more vials.
It took us five unmedicated cycles at home and ten vials of sperm to get my wife pregnant. We have two vials left in storage. It will be my turn to carry next, likely in three years. We're both 25 years old with no known fertility issues - though I know that can change in three years.
If you have sperm stored for future siblings, how many vials do you have? How did you come to choose that number?
Anybody's experience here would be appreciated! I don't want to lose my chance to buy more of our donor's vials before they are all gone.
Mom and Mama to our Clever daughter (9.1.12), and cautiously expecting our rainbow baby after a miscarriage in February! We have a blog, too!
We've got 5, but we're doing IVF, so that is theoretically enough to guarantee us a second and possibly third. When we were still hoping to get preggo with IUIs we planned on keeping 12 on ice--with the thought that we'd have several double tries and then still some for medicalization if we needed it. Good luck! It's a lot of money to sink if you only need that one try, but if it's important to you, I'd say it's probably worth it.
She's here!
And so are the boys!
here's our story. we originally bought 6 of our donor because the clinic we were using said that was the best number to get in case we "werent compatible". i got pregnant on try #2 which left us with 2 vials. we went to buy more and our donor had retired and was out of vials.
fast forward to april of 2008 and we managed to luck out and get 6 more ici vials due to another client reactivating our donor. with those 8 we managed to conceive our next 2 children.
if we had to do it all over again, i'd make sure to have AT LEAST 12 vials in storage.
good luck!
Our KD moved to Korea, yes Korea, and left us with 23 vials on ice. This was just lucky, because he managed to bank those up in just three trips to uh... make deposits. We want to make one more baby, and we'll probably start trying in July or August. Even with that many vials, I still get nervous, even though I know it's a ton. And in all seriousness, he COULD come back to the US and bank some more hypothetically. I'm sure we'll have leftovers and have nothing to do with them- unless I guess he finds some other lesbians who want his sperm or something, haha.
Mama to two, and second-time surrogate. Expecting May 2015.
We only have two vials in storage. Our donor is retired and there is no option to get more, so we hope it works quickly in a couple of years. I've also scanned the DSR and our bank's message boards to see if anyone is selling vials from our donor, but no luck so far. If we don't conceive #2 in two tries, we'll likely have to find another donor. And if we ever want #3, we'll certainly have to choose a new donor. Not an ideal situation, but genetic kinship isn't as important as building a family for us.
We orignially bought 13 vials. Then, as fate had it, it took 21 vials to get pregnant and carry a baby to term. When I was pregnant with her we bought 4 vials and stored them, it would've been more but that was all he had left. I wanted to buy at least 6. When it came time to TTC again, we got pregnant with one vial, on the first try! We now have 3 stored but aren't sure we are going to have anymore just yet.
DS - planned born via 4/4/2011
I just called our bank to see what was available.... they said there was plenty readily available, plenty in quarantine, and the donor is still part of the program. she told me not to worry about buying and storing just yet, to call every couple months and check. do y'all think I'm dumb to trust that?? we aren't hell bent on using the same donor for future but would really prefer to. we don't really have the extra $$ to buy and store right now, either.
She's here!
And so are the boys!
Wehrli - after DW got pregnant, I called the bank to check on our donor's supply. I was told he had 100+ vials, and thought to myself that it seemed like we had a little bit of time before having to buy a bunch more. A month later, I had a strange inkling to call again and check in. I was told, by a different employee, that he did still have 91 vials but 30 of those were IVF vials, and 60 of them were IUI vials, and only one was ICI. We'd planned on only buying ICI vials... so that didn't work out. He has no vials in quarantine and he's no longer donating. Of course, sixty vials of IUI is nothing to sneeze at, but I admittedly was a bit nervous. We aren't going to stop having kids just because they won't have the same donor, but it would be a definite positive for us and is something we do desire - particularly since we plan on switching who the bio mom is. We did end up buying that last ICI vial, as well as seven IUI vials. We had two left in storage from the original 12 we bought to get DW pregnant.
From the sounds of it though, I would not think your donor is going to all of a sudden be totally unavailable. It seems like you've got some time. I do agree with Isa, though, maybe just buy one here and there as it's possible?
Good luck!
Mom and Mama to our Clever daughter (9.1.12), and cautiously expecting our rainbow baby after a miscarriage in February! We have a blog, too!
wehrli, i have heard of many people thinking the same as you "oh he's still donating, i have plenty of time to buy some" but what happens if he suddenly retires, or there's a rush on his vials and when you want some he's in quarantine? even our backup donor who was still donating in early 2011 has since retired and has no vials available. it happens really quickly once they retire. if you REALLY want this donor again, buy them on credit and pay it off. this is not something i would EVER say to someone in any other circumstances because i HATE putting things on credit but in this instance that is what i would recommend.
we came REALLY close to not being able to use the same donor for all three kids...and we were extremely lucky with the number of vials it took to get pregnant...for the three of them we used a total of 11 vials.
good luck!
I'm going to bump this to emphasize what indigoscot just said...if you feel it is important for any children you have to share a donor, buy whatever you can, when you can. We thought we'd be able to purchase from the general pool of our donor. But, we waited b/c it seemed like soooo much money. Then, we ended up being limited to the sibling only pool b/c he'd sold out (and is no longer donating)...we bought the cap from the sibling pool, but since we may want 2 more children (we will evaluate after #2, if that works out) we may end up running out of our donor vials.
I'm am so bummed right now...
Two moms and two boys enjoying the truth that love always wins!!!
I'm sorry to hear that. What a huge bummer! Does your bank facilitate exchanges between recipients? For example, someone might have vials stored of your donor but not decide to use them, the bank won't give them a refund, but they might be able to sell it to you?
Married to a wonderful woman since 2010. Baby boy C arrived in June 2013!
Check out our User Agreement.
Families can "donate" back to our bank if the sperm has not left the bank and then the vials can be resold. Soooo, that means that it may be possible to get more vials in a couple of years (if no one else wants them b/c we did hit the cap on purchasing from the sibling only pool). On the plus side, I remain very happy that our sperm bank (TSBC) has some of the smallest family limits (10). I am aware of two donor sib's from the same donor but don't know any details beyond that.
On the other hand, I should take a deep breath because we now have 12 vials...but the freak out I had was in knowing that after we use those 12 (if we do) that there are quite simply no more. I also think that I will be doing some reevaluating of why using the same donor feels so important...
Two moms and two boys enjoying the truth that love always wins!!!
Our clinic has a 3 families limit but not a number of sibs limit. We've had a total of 24 vials, got two left... He donated again years ago so we could keep some on ice. We'll be done afer this kid (#4) so the other two are not going anywhere at this point!

Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has attacked Samsung's flagship tablet for being nothing more than a "large phone".
The Nvidia boss claimed a number of manufacturers were lining up tablets running on Google Android and his company's Tegra platform, but said they wouldn't be available for a few months because the tablet makers wanted to make sure they had a good enough device to take on the iPad.
"You can't just do another product," he told CNet.com. "Look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It's a tablet that uses a phone operating system on a large display. A tablet is not a large phone."
Huang's criticism is curious, not least because the iPad he appears to hold in such high esteem also runs a phone operating system, iOS, which originally appeared on Apple's iPhone.
Nevertheless, Huang claims that tablets based on Nvidia's dual-core Tegra2 processor will "give you the benefit of higher performance and much, much better multitasking and better graphics".
"This isn't a fad. Everybody's building tablets because it's just so important," Huang added. "I don't remember in the history of computing [when] a singular device is being worked on by all of the industry."

CHARLESTOWN, N.H.-The Connecticut River Valley's largest French and Indian War Encampment returns Saturday, June 4, and Sunday, June 5, at the Fort at No. 4, in Charlestown, N.H., across the river from Vermont.
Vermont and New Hampshire reenactor units will make up the bulk of the period performers at the fort.
"The military weekend will be filled with activities including recreated battles which will give visitors a glimpse into military and civilian life of the 18th century," said Wendalyn Baker, director of the historic Fort at No. 4 Living History Museum.
The public can also tour the unique fortified village at Fort at No. 4 where Roger's Rangers frequented.
"The British, French and Native camps are open to the public," Baker said. "And Sutlers Row will offer a wide selection of period wares and reporductions including weapons, hats and clothing."
A morning prayer service, under the direction of Deacon David Moody, starts at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 5.
Battle reenactments are scheduled for 1 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
The fort, built in 1744 and attacked in 1747, has an odd name-a number. It was the fourth frontier outpost set out by New Hampshire's governor. It was 30 miles (rom the nearest other British settlement at Fort Dummer in Vermont.
The Crown Point Military Road stretched from Fort Crown Point onlake Champlain to Fort at No. 4. Also, rebel Gen. John Stark gathered the New Hampshire Militia regiments at the fort site while traveling to the Battle of Bennington in 1777.

The NBA said Thursday that officials Ed Malloy, John Goble and Violet Palmer missed a foul by Charlotte's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist against Toronto's Andrea Bargnani on a jump shot in the final seconds of the Bobcats' 98-97 victory Wednesday night. The NBA said Bargnani should have been given two free throws and the clock stopped with approximately 2.4 seconds remaining. Replays showed Kidd-Gilchrist's right hand made contact with Bargnani's left wrist as the Toronto player shot, with the ball coming up well short.

Sweetwater Jaycee Rooster Ken Darnell shows spectators a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake at the 53rd annual Sweetwater Jaycees World's Largest Rattlesnake Round-Up.
2011 Miss Snake Charmer Laney Wallace posed with many attendees of the 53rd annual Sweetwater Jaycees World's Largest Rattlesnake Round-Up. She is shown with Lifetime Jaycee, Tom Wideman.
Every year the Sweet-water Jaycees World's Largest Rattlesnake Round-Up brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Sweetwater area from all over the globe. This surge of tourism brings with it lots of revenue for the city.
Area hotels are almost always full during the second week in March and restaurants are packed around the clock.
Since 1958, the world's largest rattlesnake round-up has been held in Sweetwater.
If your medicine cabinet hasn't been cleaned out in awhile (or ever), a chance to do so is coming up.
On Saturday, March 19, a Medication Cleanout will be held at the Sweetwater High School. It will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be done as a drive through.
Medication Cleanout was originated through the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Program with the Amarillo Independent School District and the Texas Panhandle Poison Center with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
Rattlesnake Round-up weekend is full of fun and excitement, which can leave residents a little worn out. The Monday after it may seem a little harder to wake up, but to make matters worse, this weekend is the beginning of daylight saving time.
Saturday night when you lay down, after this long weekend, make sure to set your clocks one hour forward.
A tribute to Terry Lane, Sweetwater Jaycee who recently passed away, was set up at the 53rd annual Sweetwater Jaycees World's Largest Rattlesnake Round-Up.
Several vendors set up each year at the World's Largest Rattlesnake Round-Up, including local businesses like DT Sorrells Saddlery of Sweetwater.
The Western Diamondback Rattlesnake is the main attraction at the annual Sweetwater Jaycees World's Largest Rattlesnake Round-Up. See many more photos online at www.sweetwaterreporter.com.

I'v fished with Captain Gary on The Tuna Hunter every year for the past 15. It seems that every time I go it is better than the last. I've fished in a lot of foreign destinations and I have to say that going to Gloucester and fishing on The Tuna Hunter is one of my favorites. The fishing is GREAT...
This is our 14 th year of fishing with Gary. As usual, the fishing is unbelievable and everyone in our family has caught stripers and haddock. Just caught a 46 inch, 34lb striper....can't wait for dinner! Thanks Gary!!!
I have been going on the tuna Hunter annually for fourteen years with my family and we have always had great fishing and a great time. Highly recommend the trip, you won't regret it.
Anyone visiting the Bahamas should take the time to go on a fishing trip with Hunter charters! From the begging of the trip everything was exceptional. The Captain and mate made a particular effort to catch fish for us so that we can grill it later that night. Wonderful and friendly from start to finish. Will definitely book them again!
This was my first time on a charter and it will not be my last. Captain Gary and first mate Dave were the BEST! They were friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. They both were excellent coaches and were happy to help ~ they taught me to reel in the big ones like I was a pro! Gary keeps his boat...
Capt Gary and his first mate, Dave, are a dynamite duo who know how to land Giant blue fin. We had an amazing experience. Gary and Dave are nothing but first class professional fishermen who strive to meet the clients' expectations. If it were up to me I'd be on the boat tomorrow doing it all over again. I can't...
Been Fishing with Capt. Gary Cannell of The F/V Tuna Hunter for 20 years now.Tuna,Cod,Haddock,Flounder,Sharks & Striped Bass, He's the Man to put You on the Fish!,You won't find anyone that Tries harder. I owe some of the Best Fishing memories of My Life to Him.Not only a Great Capt. & Fisherman,He's become a Close Friend of Mine.Had Him Deer...
Trip of a life time. Gary and Dave know tuna. We caught 2 bluefins and one of those was a 700 lbs. giant. The Capt. and crew are very professional, friendly, and boy can they get you on fish. I highly reccomend a trip with Tuna Hunter and am looking forward to returning next year.
Gary and Dave were great to fish with, taught us all a lot and created great chummers out of 16 year old girls. We caught, and have eaten some awesome striped bass (41" and 43") and a nice bluefish we grilled with dijon mayo after soaking in lemon juice - all around great day, highly recommend them.
