Here we go, adventure time?
I am easy going and laid back. A bit shy at first but when I get to know you better I love to make jokes and make others around me laugh and smile. Inside jokes are sort of a past-time with my closest friends. In my spare time I play a lot of volleyball to keep myself active. I also run lake Merced once a week and lately I've been playing Ultimate Football in Walnut Creek. I used to play a lot of video games but not so much anymore. I also like watching sports like baseball, football, and basketball. Let's catch a Giants, 49ers or a Warrior game perhaps? So I am looking for someone who could laugh with me at and me or themselves. Someone who will be there not only through the happiest times but especially be there when times are rough. And someone who will not expect me to read their mind, and I will do my best to tell you what is on mine. Hoping to hear from you!

Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s embattled nominee to head the Department of the Environment vowed yesterday to take her case to the full Senate - and the public - as administration officials accused legislative leaders of bringing partisanship to new lows.
Lynn Y. Buhl, whose nomination was rejected Monday by the Senate Executive Nominations Committee, has launched a blitz of media interviews to gather support for her bid to lead the agency charged with enforcing the state's environmental laws.
Yesterday, Larry Hogan, the governor's appointments secretary, accused Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. of trying to torpedo Buhl's nomination in order to send a message to the new Republican administration.
Hogan said Miller told him weeks ago the Democratic-controlled Senate would have to defeat at least one of the governor's nominations on principle.
And Buhl, Hogan said, appears to be that target. "This is about politics and trying to make the governor look bad," Hogan said. "Part of this is the luck of the draw. She was the 18th out of 18 nominees."
Buhl, an attorney who has said she would like to see the Department of the Environment become more receptive to the business community, also said she feels like a pawn in a dispute between Senate Democrats and Ehrlich.
"A number of the remarks made suggest it is larger than me. There are issues with the administration that go beyond Lynn Buhl," she said yesterday.
Miller, who is Ehrlich's biggest ally so far in the fight over legalizing slot machines, reacted angrily to Hogan's claims, saying he remembers making no such threats.
"If I wanted to defeat [Buhl] there would have [been a] unanimous vote from that committee," Miller said. "I explained my position to the governor and it has nothing to do with partisanship. ... I think they made a mistake. They nominated someone from an anti-environmental state like Michigan."
Buhl is a former midlevel administrator in the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, which has been widely criticized for its environmental record. Before that, she was an attorney at Chrysler Corp.
But Miller sought yesterday to prevent Buhl's nomination from causing a rift between him and the administration.
"There are some people on my side of the aisle and his side of the aisle that want this to denigrate into partisanship," said Miller. "I am committed to making sure that doesn't happen."
Meanwhile, the governor's relationship with environmental organizations trying to defeat Buhl showed signs of deterioration.
Environmental groups thought they had Ehrlich's support for a proposal to increase civil and criminal fines for water pollution, but yesterday - hours after the Senate committee voted to reject Buhl - the administration decided not to testify at a hearing on the bill.
And the Republican senators on the Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee appeared to take out their frustrations about Buhl on the environmentalists who testified in support of the bill.
"There seems to be some added questioning, which is unfortunate," said Sue Brown, executive director of the Maryland League of Conservation Voters.
Theresa Pierno, executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, said she hoped that "everybody steps back and lowers the tone and rhetoric."
The Ehrlich administration, however, launched a feverish effort to save face and have Buhl confirmed.

Hope things are going well with you, P/F.
That would be 1967 when she played the international circuit in an attempt to make a comeback.
She lost in the 3r of the Australian Championships to Gail Sherrif in 3 sets and had a reasonable Caribbean circuit. Although she lost 5 times to Ann Jones she took her to 3 sets in a couple of those matches.
She had a good tournament at Wimbledon where she beat Francoise Durr before bowing out in 4r to Kathy Harter.
Although she had a quite a few defeats to lesser players she had wins over Mary-Ann Eisel, Judy Tegart, Lesley Turner and Pat Walkden as well as Frankie.
Rather bizarrely considering that was the year Frankie won the French and German Champs and was ranked #3 in the world for it, Jan had a 4-0 winning h2h over her.
Jan would have finished somewhere around the mid-teens for the year. She won an invitation event in Dublin and the Turkish Championships. I'm not sure if she played outside Australia from 1968 onwards.

Well put and totally agree.Exactly. If someone tells me that he or she doesn't know but will find out I trust the answer he or she eventually brings to me and think no less of him/her. This can apply to anything. This can apply to "do you have any lemonade?" as well as "do you think it's benign?"
If someone tells me an answer and it turns out to be wrong and that wrong information was used to influence my decisions the person has permanently lost credibility with me. I make the assumption that everyone I deal with feels the same way. Consequently, if I don't know something, I just say so.
A theme that seems to keep cropping up is that people from this "second lost generation" which is really just behind my own generation, seem to be the greatest offenders. They carve their way forward on the bullshi*er's ethic. I assume it's related to technology, the ability to edit video from the crib, etcetera.
So, anyway, the people (from any generation, perhaps the very same) who choose to cultivate genuine talent and experience who choose not to misrepresent themselves, not to market themselves falsely who choose to say I don't know and do not portend experience they don't have, etcetera those people will be overlooked in a society that values pretension. The pretenders will steal opportunities and they will be allowed to because the opportunity-givers are pretenders, too.
The worst effect is that the value of the artwork, of bonafide expression, will inevitably erode. The canon will be diluted by a bunch of people who spent their time faking it, instead of ACTUALLY making it.
And if the trend continues, it seems that eventually nobody will even know the difference between a liar and the real thing. Bullsh***ers will become the real thing; the bullsh***er's ethic will prevail.
And anyway, this story just plays out into something like Brave New World, perhaps. Something austere and unnatural.
Sorry I couldn't be more cheerful!
EDIT: kind of reminds me of the Howard Rourke versus Peter Keating dynamic in The Fountainhead, come to think of it.

CFN Analysis ... Big 12 Champ.
Oklahoma 23 ... Nebraska 20
Pete Fiutak
This might not have been pretty, but it was worthy.
If the one-time great rivalry is going to fizzle out into obscurity, this was a game to do it with the defensive punch, the coaching personalities, and a thrilling game that came down to the end, even with both offenses struggling in the second half. Now Nebraska is off to the Big Ten and Oklahoma is off to the Fiesta Bowl while saving face for the Big 12.
The league needed to be represented by the Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl, otherwise the next month would be devoted to talk about how nasty the Big Ten is about to become with three teams in the BCS. Nebraska will make the Big Ten far stronger, but OU kept the order, kept the championship in the now-defunct Big 12 South, and will hold bragging rights for a long, long time until these two finally get back together again.
Lost on most young fans is that this is almost like Michigan and Ohio State playing for the last time in the foreseeable future. It's like Auburn and Alabama taking a break. This was a huge, winner-take-all moment for the two storied programs, and OU did it by out-defending the defensive team, sort of like in 1987 when the Sooners went into Lincoln and came away with a 17-7 win.
Nebraska isn't supposed to blow a 17-point lead, but that's exactly what it did with the offense sputtering and coughing over the final 42 minutes, getting just one field goal as OU took away the Husker ground game. The Nebraska defense was unable to make the one huge play needed to turn the tide, and for the second straight Big 12 game, the Huskers found out how far they can go without a consistent offense. Even when it looked like the Huskers were going to get creative with a fake punt, the OU coaches sniffed it out. After a rough start, Oklahoma was always one step ahead, and now it will end the classic rivalry with one final mark on its side.
- I get that Oklahoma's defensive front was frothing at the mouth and was flying all over the place, but even with all the speed and quickness up front, why did Nebraska bail out on the running game?
- Oklahoma was 1-16 on third down conversions. Nebraska was 4-of-17.
- Taylor Martinez is still a young quarterback, but he's been through enough this year to not make the mistakes he was making. OU never respected the deep ball.
- In the battle of Ryan Broyles vs. Nebraska's star defensive backs, Prince Amukamara and Eric Hagg: 3 catches, 61 yards.
Richard Cirminiello
Oklahoma is happy. The Big 12, as a whole, is ecstatic.
Absolutely no one associated with the conference wanted Nebraska to win the final league championship game, as it prepared to head off to the Big Ten in 2011. And no one was hiding those feelings over the last couple of months. Even commissioner Dan Beebe decided to skip the Huskers' North Division clincher at the end of November, fearing for his safety. The Huskers are officially gone from these parts, ending a contentious chapter in the league and beginning a new one that promises to bring a whole new set of rivalries and venom from across the Midwest. The rest of the members are happy to see Nebraska go, and even happier that it's not packing more hardware on the moving trucks.
- Your prize for winning the Big 12 title, Oklahoma? A no-win situation of facing Connecticut in the Fiesta Bowl.
- Oklahoma S Tony Jefferson just oozes future star. The true freshman is reminiscent of a very young and very athletic Roy Williams.
- Where was this Sooner D all year? LB Travis Lewis is one of the few constants, but he got a ton help from a front seven that abused the Nebraska offensive line all night.
- No matter how athletic a quarterback might be, he'll never reach his full potential unless he poses some kind of a threat with his arm. Taylor Martinez will realize that over the next few years if he can't improve as a passer.
By Matt Zemek
Oh, it's been about four years now – at least – since Bob Stoops's big-game credentials were doubted. When Stoops lost two straight games to Texas, the second one coming in October of 2006, Mack Brown's reputation began to rise (with justification, one should hasten to add) while Stoops saw his coaching star fade. At least, that's how large portions of the college football cognoscenti saw the matter.
Then, as the first decade of the 21st century continued, Stoops ran into a death trap called the Fiesta Bowl. In 2007 against Boise State and in 2008 against West Virginia, Stoops undeniably coached two horrible games, presiding over a pair of awful losses that tarnished the Oklahoma brand name. When OU then fell short in the 2009 BCS National Championship Game to the Florida Gators, the verdict became pervasive in the United States: Big Game Bob – the man who outflanked top-10 opponents in the first half of the decade known as the "aughts" – was no more.
That verdict needs to be re-examined (if it ever deserved to be taken seriously in the first place).
Here's the bottom line on Bob Stoops, ladies and gentlemen: BCS bowls are big games, but we all know that in the BCS era, the national-title game is the only truly important BCS bowl. The other contests are exhibitions; if they were part of a playoff, we could revisit this discussion. Conference championship games also qualify as big games; failure on this stage results in an Alamo Bowl or an Insight Bowl bid instead of a Fiesta Bowl ticket. The prestige of being seen as a conference champion is the reward 11 FBS teams will gain over the course of the season.
The math is simple but powerful: Two teams can and will compete for the (mythical) national championship, but nine teams will win their conference and not be able to lift the crystal. Winning a conference is the most attainable and prominent goal for most FBS programs; when you've won your league, especially in the big-boy realm of the Big 12, you've done something very special.
You've also won a very big game.
Plainly put, then, Bob Stoops made a very loud statement by guiding his team past Nebraska Saturday night, in the Huskers' final conference game before heading off to the Big Ten. Stoops won his seventh Big 12 title in the past 11 seasons. He also improved his record to 7-1 in the Big 12 Championship Game. That's a lot of big-game wins. That's a lot of big-game excellence. That's a lot of high-level consistency from a man who has never stopped being "Big Game Bob."
--Nebraska offensive coordinator Shawn Watson called a horrible game for the sorely disappointed Huskers. His insistence on using Taylor Martinez as much as he did – instead of hybrid/Wildcat formation back Rex Burkhead – robbed the Big 12 North Division champions of both momentum and production. Martinez's perpetual panic and alarmingly deficient level of ball security both sabotaged Nebraska's best-laid plans and allowed Oklahoma to gain a breather just when it seemed that the Sooners were suffocating in the face of Burkhead's relentless running. Oklahoma offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson didn't call his best game, either, but Watson's wayward approach made the Sooner braintrust look good by comparison.
--Landry Jones endured a violent rollercoaster of a season in 2010. Oklahoma fans and national pundits never knew what to expect with one of the nation's most inconsistent signal callers. Jones would acquire excellence on one snap and then slip into a sloppy modus operandi on the very next play. Jones possessed a deer-in-the-headlights look at the beginning of this contest against Nebraska, and when the Huskers built a 17-0 lead against Jones, it was reasonable to think OU had little chance of coming back. Yet, Jones immediately delivered a perfect long ball to shave seven points off the Huskers' lead, and when given enough chances by his defense to lead his team to championship glory, Jones did just enough to succeed. He faltered and fell; he wobbled and wavered; he stumbled and staggered at many points along the way, but in the end, Landry Jones – given crucial experience last year after Sam Bradford's injury – did indeed use the hard knocks of 2009 to his advantage. It's one of the more overlooked aspects of Oklahoma's crowning moment in suburban Dallas.

Re: What do you think Star Trek will do for its 50th anniversary?
Hopefully, Trek XIII will be released that year, but really, I'm not sure what all can be done. Without an active TV series, I don't see them doing the kind of hoopla Doctor Who did. The tie-ins will go to town with special novels and comics released for the event, and maybe a special retrospective will air on TV with interviews with all the actors and what not. Otherwise, I don't think much will be done or even can be done.

Distributive justice always involves two persons and two things. Its aim is to distribute the things in such a way that the relative positions of the two persons prior to the transaction are maintained after the transactions, i.e., the thing is divided proportionally to the merit of the persons concerned, always remembering that the standard of merit for individuals varies in different kinds of states (e.g., in a democracy it is freedom, in an oligarchy it is wealth, in an aristocracy it is virtue), and that a distribution can be made between unequal individuals.
Distributive justice is best viewed as a form of discrete or geometrical proportion. For example, there are two men, A and B, and two things, C and D. Assume that A and B are equal in merit and C and D equal in value. This gives the equation, A : B = C : D. In accordance with distributive justice, all of C is given to A and all of D is given to B, and the situation after the transaction is, A + C : B + D = A : B. That is the relative positions of A and B are the same before and after the transaction. In this kind of case justice is a mean between giving A or B more or less than their rightful shares.
In cases involving distribution, justice is what is proportional and injustice is violation of proportion. A man who acts unjustly has more than his share, while a man who is treated unjustly has less.

Can anyone explain me or link some helpful resource in order to understand the algorithm behind the Java method
Can anyone explain me or link some helpful resource in order to understand the algorithm behind the Java method
Java uses IEEE 754 floating point.
In C you might achieve the same effect like so:
(Although technically this would be undefined behavior, in fact it virtually always works as expected.)
The JDK6 docs are quite good, and the source itself is pretty enlightening (it just uses a C union):
On the vast majority of modern platforms, the default size of an integer on CPUs is 32 bits, as is the size of a float, so we'll assume that converting between the two yields no unexpected results. You probably already know this, but integers cannot be declared as unsigned in Java, though you can specify a hexadecimal value which corresponds to one. The actual conversion, as demonstrated by rlibby and Mr. Powers, is trivial, since the bits are just interpreted differently. However, the method may be useful in several scenarios where you may be trying to mess around with binary data. There are several useful nonstandard tricks, such as those described here, which rely on exploiting the IEEE 754 representation of a float; perhaps somewhere along the line, the method may come in use when the need to translate between integer and floating-point representations of bits arises.

Chocolate, for sure. Don't get me wrong, I love apples (especially Granny Smith ones), but chocolate releases endorphins in the brain, giving you an instant rush of euphoria...what's not to love about that?!?! :)
herjoiedevivre 7 years
I love chocolate better than apples, but really it's only because I don't like apples that much. Every other kind of fruit I can eat until I'm full- watermelon, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe- I eat a ton of fruit everyday and that's much better than chocolate. I actually feel healthy after gorging, whereas with chocolate I'd feel...bloated and sick :(

If it were fruit from Europe or something or a geuinely picked apple from an orchard which tasted like it's supposed to taste, that may be a different story, but apples in the supermarket taste like styrofoam. Dark, dark chocolate, the less sweet the better, is too fantastic to pass up.

12. Utah State (11-2) 2012 CFN Score: 19.89
2012 CFN Preseason Ranking: 101
2011 Final Season Ranking: 62
2011 CFN Final Score: 8.28
2010 Final Season Ranking: 89
2010 CFN Score: 3.92
2009 Final Season Ranking: 93
2009 Final Score: 3.74
2008 Final Season Ranking: 106
2008 Final Score: 1.97
Key Stat: The Aggies were seventh in the nation in scoring defense.
It was a truly special season for a team that was supposed to be undergoing a major overhaul. Head coach Gary Andersen cranked up the defense that led the WAC in almost every key category thanks to a terrific pass rush and great play from the secondary. The offense wasn't too bad, either. The Aggies should've beaten Wisconsin - missing a makeable field goal in the final seconds - and came close to beating BYU in a 6-3 defeat. Now Andersen is off to Madison, taking over the Wisconsin head coaching job, leaving Matt Wells to take over.
14. San Jose State (11-2) 2012 CFN Score: 19.35
2012 CFN Preseason Ranking: 100 2011 Final Season Ranking: 90
2011 CFN Final Score: 4.22
2010 Final Season Ranking: 94
2010 CFN Score: -3-34
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 105
2009 Final Season Ranking: 113
2009 Final Score: -0.57
2008 Final Season Ranking: 82
2008 Final Score: 5.15
Key Stat: The Spartans were sixth in the nation in passing and third in passing efficiency.
San Jose State was the only FBS team without an FBS win in 2010, and two years later it was 11-2 with a seven-game winning streak and a bowl victory over Bowling Green to close things out. The blowout home loss to Utah State hurt, but the Opening Day 20-17 loss to Stanford was more impressive in hindsight than it seemed at the time. The passing game was incredible and the pass rush among the best in college football as the Spartans blew out bad WAC team after bad WAC team. On the down side, the great win meant the loss of head coach Mike MacIntyre to Colorado.
37. Louisiana Tech (9-3) 2012 CFN Score: 13.06
2012 CFN Preseason Ranking: 83
2011 Final Season Ranking: 48
2011 CFN Final Score: 10.02
2010 Final Season Ranking: 86
2010 CFN Score: 4.70
2009 Final Season Ranking: 89
2009 Final Score: 4.24
2008 Final Season Ranking: 63
2008 Final Score: 7.99
Key Stat: Tech was first in the nation in total offense and scoring offense, and dead last in total defense.
It was almost a good season. Tech almost beat Texas A&M, but didn't finish up the upset in a wild 59-57 loss. Tech almost won the WAC, but lost at home to Utah State in overtime, and it almost beat San Jose State in the regular season finale. Worst of all, there was almost a trip to a bowl game, but was shut out after a misunderstanding - to be politically correct - with the Independence Bowl. The near misses didn't matter for Sonny Dykes, who parlayed the big year with a bigger gig taking over the Cal Bears, but Skip Holtz, despite the problems at USF, isn't a bad replacement.
68. UTSA (8-4) 2012 CFN Score: 7.71
2012 CFN Preseason Ranking: 122
Key Stat: The Roadrunners beat four non-FBS teams.
UTSA's first season started out with a thrilling win over South Alabama on the way to a 5-0 start. While reality set in once the schedule got tougher, closing out with three straight wins including close victories over Idaho and Texas State gave the team four wins over FBS teams. Head coach Larry Coker's team has the fan base, and at least for one year, the wins over bad teams made it a fun campaign.
121. Idaho (1-11) 2012 CFN Score: -3.36
2012 CFN Preseason Ranking:
117 2011 Final Season Ranking:
2011 CFN Final Score: 0.36
2010 Final Season Ranking: 85
2010 CFN Score: 5.99
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 97
2009 Final Season Ranking: 56
2009 Final Score: 9.69
2008 Final Season Ranking: 118
2008 Final Score: -2.96
Key Stat: Idaho finished dead last in the nation in scoring offense and punt returns.
The Vandals spent their last season in the WAC
having a rough time doing anything right. They came
up with a win over New Mexico State in the middle of
the season, and then went right back into the tank
getting blown out by Texas State and giving up 70 to
Louisiana Tech. Idaho wasn't even close over the second half of the season with only a 34-27 loss to UTSA mildly interesting.
123. New Mexico State (1-11) 2012 CFN
Score: -4.16 2012 CFN Preseason Ranking:
119 2011 Final Season Ranking:
103 2011 CFN Final Score: 1.97 2010 Final Season Ranking: 114
2010 CFN Score: -1.69
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 117
2009 Final Season Ranking: 112
2009 Final Score: -0.39
2008 Final Season Ranking: 109
2008 Final Score: 0.82
Key Stat: The Aggies were in the bottom ten in the nation in sacks, tackles for loss, sacks allowed, punt returns and scoring defense.
This was supposed to be the year the Aggies were going to take another step forward. There was experience, a little bit of talent, and enough pieces in place to come up with a surprise year. Instead, the defense did nothing and the offense was miserable in a one-win campaign with the lone victory coming against Sacramento State in the opener. Not only did the team lose all 11 games against FBS teams, it lost big getting blown away by UTSA and Texas State, and only coming within double-digits - an embarrassing 26-18 loss to Idaho - in one loss.

Now, however, I'm befuddled, even dismayed, by the carping comments of people who don't know how to enjoy themselves. What I most dislike is the superior tone that suggests they were above it.
So, today, I want to reply to the tribe of killjoys and miserable souls who don't know how to have fun.
Yes, the wedding was a spectacle and even a real-life fairytale romance. But it was intended to be. And what pomp and pageantry! If you're going to watch a royal wedding, it needs to be special. And that's precisely what it was. So if you missed it, you failed to watch something you probably won't see again for another 30 years.
And, frankly, more fool you!
Yet it wasn't all show. The couple at the centre was also mesmerising. He is tall and handsome, she beautiful and alluring. They are made for their roles. The comment that he'd dressed up like a 'band master' only reveals how little we know of military uniforms. Our officers on mess-night look very similar.
But the scene-stealer was William driving Kate home in a cabriolet sports car with 'Just Wed' on the number plate. A very clever send-up, indeed.
However, it wasn't just the glamour that had me hooked. Equally impressive was the perfect organisation of what must have been a nightmare to arrange. Everything happened bang on time and nothing went wrong. Even the little difficulty William had slipping-on the ring almost seemed like a purposely designed moment of light relief.
There were, perhaps, a million people on the streets watching the procession and, maybe, six or seven hundred thousand outside Buckingham Palace waiting for the kiss on the balcony. The police handled them with restraint and skill. In most other countries, such numbers would have probably ended in a riot.
The royals rode through all this, in an open-topped carriage, without any fear and without any known risk. In contrast, our lot shut the city down whenever they venture out.
The ultimate truth is that in this age of democracy, with Libya, Egypt, Yemen and Tunisia fighting for freedom and rights, we're still fascinated by privilege, pomp and pageantry. There's none — or only a few — so cold-hearted not to be curious about, or captivated by, the spectacle.
For a few hours we're transported into an almost make-believe world of fantasy and fable. And what's the harm? After all, we'll have to eventually return to our normal, dreary lives of drudgery and drabness but when we do, we'll be a little richer, a little happier, for the brief escape.
As I watched the wedding and the procession, I recalled what King Farouk of Egypt is reported to have said when he was deposed in 1952: "One day there will be just five kings left in the world — The Kings of Hearts, Spades, Clubs and Diamonds and the King of England."
It may be an apocryphal story but, with each passing year, the sentiment at its heart becomes increasingly, if not indisputably, true.
Alas, I doubt if I'll be around when Kate and William's son gets married!

Forever Redwood is one of those online furniture stores that is showcasing vast and vibrant array of planter boxes, which are said to be durable for ten to forty years without maintenance of any kind. Shoppers to this site can have a nice look-and-feel view of the different planter boxes that have got interesting names and creative designs, maybe untraceable in their competitors'
"Find Napa Planters, Carmel Planters, Sonoma Finial Planters, Mendocino Planters, and Tapered Planters on the web store of www.foreverredwood.com/
Redwood furniture products are learnt to be durable with having their natural beauty unfound on any other wood varieties like Cedar, Teak, etc. Metal bodied planter boxes look flat in compared to the wooden boxes. Again, wooden nicety is best visible on redwood.
For this reason, redwood planter boxes can sweep over even a very new buyer. When asked about its internal capacity, it was learnt that they had greater insect and rot resistance and were thicker than others.
So, why wait to buy better quality and better designed planter boxes when they come handy?
About Forever Redwood:
Forever Redwood is committed to growing and protecting Redwood Forests by utilizing the proceeds from product sales to fund restoration efforts. Old-Growth Again (OGA) is Forever Redwood's parent company. OGA was founded to restore and manage forestland in a way that truly allows the forest to flourish over time while yielding a conservative amount of high quality timber to fund the restoration. Working carefully with the forest so that it can contribute economically with the human society around it lessens the daily pressure to replace native forest with farms, encroaching suburbs or ranches. The Forever Redwood furniture line funds the restoration work entirely.

Understanding the U.S. Military's Morale Crisis
The military's discontent may stem from dissonance between the commitment to, and pride in, the mission in Iraq and Afghanistan and the knowledge that these sacrifices have not yielded the desired results. Those wars arguably have prompted a crisis of confidence within the military itself.

Security in NAS vs. Windows 2000

Security in NAS vs. Windows 2000. Windows 2000 uses NTFS-v5 Discretionary Access Control List (DACL) and ACE. I believe that most NAS use SAMBA and CIFS that use another file access control mechanism. They do not work well together. You will notice this by managing DACL within Windows 2000 on a file share service by a Linux server running Samba. You will be able to set-up some access rights but try to review them once setup and you will see that you have lost the information on the DACL. This is because there is a conversion during the process.
If we need the security to be maintained like in Windows 2000, what would be the NAS solution? Also, Windows 2000 in native mode uses the Keberos v-5 authentication mechanisms. If NTLM option is turn off on the Windows 2000 infrastructure, the impact will be that you can authenticate to the NAS if it is based on LAN Manager (NTLM v1).
The only vendor that I'm aware of that support mapping to the hard locks of CIFS is VERITAS with their ServPoint NAS. VERITAS has told me that they have added SAMBA extensions to allow this type of lock mapping. You should also look at using Windows Services for Unix which may be able to give he locking you desire. You can find it at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/sfu/
Regarding turning off NT LANanager, here are two Microsoft articles with long answers. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/howitworks/sec urity/kerberos.asp and http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv /maintain/opsguide/secadmog.asp

Top 14 round-up
Last Updated: 11/11/12 8:36am
First win of the season: Mont-de-Marsan
Mont-de-Marsan caused the biggest upset of the Top 14 season by beating Racing Metro in Paris on Saturday while Stade Français downed Agen.
Biarritz battled past Perpignan in a try-less wrestling match while Castres won on the road to Bordeaux Begles.
Elsewhere, Grenoble maintained their unbeaten home record against Bayonne.
Stade Français Paris 20-13 SU Agen
Stade Charléty, Paris
Not much fun to watch in wet condition in Paris, but Stade Français played the better tactical game in an afternoon dominated by kicking.
Agen win Saimoni Vaka scored in the first minute, but the hosts moved in front early in the second half with Julien Arias's try proving decisive.
Racing Métro 16-17 Stade Montois
Stade Yves Du Manoir - Colombes (Paris)
Mont-de-Marsan claim their first win of the season thanks largely to the boot of Antoine Vignau-Tuquet, who kicked the winning penalty in the dying minutes.
Racing led 13-6 at the break with Olly Barkley scoring all the hosts' points but two yellow cards in the second half allowed the visitors to get back into contention.
The result is Racing's fifth consecutive loss.
FC Grenoble 9-6 Aviron Bayonnais
Stade Lesdiguières, Grenoble
Grenoble maintain their unbeaten record at home and their place in the top six. Bayonne head home with a deserved losing bonus point.
Union Bordeaux-Bègles 13-16 Castres Olympique
Stade Jacques Chaban-Delmas, Bordeaux
A terrible result for UBB, who headed into this clash under massive pressure, as it leaves them stuck in the relegation zone.
In driving rain, the scores were locked at 10-10 at the interval and 13-13 in the 66th minute.
But Rory Kockott landed the winning penalty in the last minute after the home scrum wilted under pressure.
Biarritz Olympique 15-3 USA Perpignan
Parc des Sports d'Aguilera, Biarritz
Biarritz breathe again as the Basques end a six-game losing streak thanks to the return of Dimitri Yachvili.
BO led 12-3 at half time in soggy conditions and continued to win the collisions to grind out a much-needed win.

Everything you need to know to assess, understand, and improve a hangover is here: dozens of comforting recipes, very clever graphic tests for analyzing your state of mind, and quizzes for tracking your progress. A good hangover brings its victim to a new state of mind—and one that, when looked at objectively, can be quite fascinating to its host: It can create an increased awareness of the body, a willingness to eat something usually off limits, and a fascination with the mind's strange acrobatics.
