Free communications on the Freenet network.
Price of Freedom
Freenet is licensed under the GPL. The current 0.7 version of Freenet works extremely well, despite its complexity; it is easy to install and well documented. The controls are simple, and the system offers a high degree of security.
Freenet has made much progress since version 0.5, which is still very much in active use; however, this progress has had an effect on upload and download performance for volumes of data above 100MB.
Despite excellent usability, Freenet is still a very complex system that requires serious attention to the topic of anonymity on the part of the user.
If you compare a Freesite's performance with that of an ordinary website, you are bound to be disappointed. But performance is not the most important consideration of the Freenet community. It is Freenet's declared goal to ensure a free exchange of opinions and information even in unfree environments.
Freenet guarantees the confidentiality, anonymity, and authenticity of the data it manages on various levels:
- Freenet encrypts files on uploading and does not decrypt them until downloaded – the files stored on a node are thus invisible to the operator. This allows the operator to plausibly deny any knowledge of the files.
- Nodes use encrypted communications – no external third party can discover who requests a key or stores its data.
- Freenet pads files to fixed size packages – the file size and the number of data packages exchanged do not allow any conclusions on the file content or the path the data takes through the network.
- Each node only sees its immediate neighbors – no node can tell whether an incoming request originated with the neighbor node that was the immediate source or whether the request is simply being forwarded.
- When a user requests a file, Freenet copies the file multiple times en route through the network – if a participant switches off his node, this does not necessarily mean that the data stored on it will be lost.
- Nodes can be configured to connect only to specific nodes, such as nodes run by friends and acquaintances – this means that only trusted persons learn that a participant actually runs a node. A network comprising trust-based connections is referred to as a darknet by the Freenet community.
No one can deny the need for this kind of tool, and on the basis of Freenet's popularity, it looks like the Freenet network has the potential to serve the role of building the foundation for an anonymous Internet.

I am not a fanboy of any sort I just though that this card was the best value for the money at this time (the card is comparable to a stock 280 according to the reviews, but reviews did not mention the heating problems this card seem to have). Hopefully the replacement will be a lot better.
I bought an XFX HD4890, which turned out to be defective. Currently 0 for 2 with XFX. Doesn't mean anything more than we're the lucky ones who get the 2% of defective GPUs.

Serious about safety
Annual fair teaches how to avoid disaster
The Texas Department of Transportation has joined with the Texas Travel Information Center of Wichita Falls to present their annual Safety Fair in celebration of National Safety Month.
The Safety Fair was open to children and the traveling public on Thursday at the Travel Information Center on Central Freeway. The event will also be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. today.
The event was started two years ago and participants "always tell us they learned something, so it's a very good partnership between the Travel Centers and Public Safety," said Patsy Walls, TxDOT traffic safety coordinator.
Some of the attractions at the event include booths promoting driving safety, Crash Dummies Vince and Larry and personnel from the Wichita Falls Fire Department.
The event also welcomes children and adults to wear a pair of "fatal vision goggles," which gives the participant a chance to see through the eyes of an intoxicated individual.
Those who put on the goggles are then asked to perform tasks such as throwing a ball into a basket and playing an off-road driving video game on the Nintendo Wii.
"They have different alcohol-level content, so when you put them on, one is where you're just completely blitzed and you really can't even walk a straight line with them on," said Lisa Morgan, supervisor at the Travel Information Center. "It just helps to bring the realization to you, how alcohol impairs your ability to drive."
After playing the video game with the goggles, the participants were also asked to play the driving game while talking and texting on a cellphone.
"We ... have driving skills inside to show people the deadly consequences of impaired driving and also how dangerous it is to text and drive," Walls said. "We found that those behaviors many times mirror each other."
The event also features a rollover convincer, a device that simulates the possible outcomes of not wearing a seat belt during a car accident.
In addition to fire safety, the WFFD participated in the Safety Fair to teach children that the department's first responders will also be present at the scene of a car crash.
"It's good for them to know how to get us when they need us, and what kind of services we offer them if they need help," said Charles Moulton of the WFFD. "We kind of let them know we do more than just fight fire and put out house fires for them."
Although children are not able to drive a vehicle just yet, their participation in the Safety Fair could prove beneficial to adults.
"It's very important because we know that kids are actually the very best safety messengers, and so if you can instill those safety steps in a child, teach them the importance of seat belts and buckling up every time and fire safety, they'll tell you," Walls said. "You never know, that child that learned this might help save your life."
According to Walls, the event may also benefit those traveling for the upcoming Independence Day holiday.
"Remember, take those safety steps, buckle up each and every time and make sure every child is buckled up correctly in their child safety seat or booster seat," Walls said. "Never drink and drive, and hang up and drive, it will save your life."

So you've quit your job to found a start-up. You've got time at random hours, growing credit debt and no desire to move back into your parents' place. Time to apply your creativity to your finances! Here's a few tips for making good money in good time:
1. Rent your apartment on airbnb.com. If you have a friend or partner who doesn't mind sharing their couch or bed from time to time, there's no better way to cover at least half your rent every month. To date, airbnb has booked over 5 million nights, and they offer a $50,000 Host Guarantee.
2. Volunteer as a research subject. It pays well (as much as $100/hour) and it's also a great way to learn about other industries and people that could inspire new ideas for your business. Check out backpage.com for local listings in Ontario.
3. Team up. Piggyback on more established companies to fund and promote your business while helping them do the same. Yafa Sakkejha of House of Verona (a health retreat company) says "instead of selling directly to my audience of zero, I took the asset that I had access to (cheap resort property during low season), offered it as barter to a complementary business and they promoted my offerings. We split the proceeds 50/50 and they got to use the accommodations for free."
4. Up your hourly. Skilled at accounting, social media or running events? Being self-employed means you can charge by the hour for exponentially more than you would at a regular job. Heather Payne from Ladies Learning Code, for example, takes on the occasional freelance project to help sustain herself as a startup founder, but also focuses on living a lean lifestyle.
5. Save money to make money. Only buy the essentials and get creative with things like potlucks, free events, home repairs and schools that provide services at discount rates (think haircuts and massages). Try going on a spending freeze to save money super fast. You'll have more time to spend on your business, and the fire under you to value your work (see: #4).
6. Sell your stuff. You can sell old stuff you don't want, offer your skills, or promote an event to help you raise funds! Sites like shoplocket.com and Kijiji make it easy!
7. Strategically position your workspace. Step one: ask a company with an opposite skill-set if you can share office space. For example, if you're a designer, find an office with only developers. Step two: watch the freelance contracts come in.
8. Share your knowledge. Build your professional practice and promote your start-up by creating an online course on udemy.com. The site allows you to publish course materials on a subject you are knowledgeable about and get paid when people take your class.
9. Grow a garden. If you have some outdoor space and a bit of extra time, consider growing a garden to reduce your grocery bills and keep your body balanced.
10. Think long-term. If you find yourself with extra money, consider diversifying your investments and sharing the wealth with fellow entrepreneurs. It might not be the fastest way to make money, but it could pay off in the long run.
Ayla Newhouse is a Toronto-based freelance designer and the co-founder of 1THINGapp.com , an app that helps you write the happy story of your life through gratitude.

Press release from Marketwire
Geologix Explorations Inc.: Tepal Oxide Cap Metallurgical Test Work Delivers 78.4% Gold Recovery
Thursday, September 30, 2010
Geologix Explorations Inc.: Tepal Oxide Cap Metallurgical Test Work Delivers 78.4% Gold Recovery12:10 EDT Thursday, September 30, 2010 VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 30, 2010) - Geologix Explorations Inc. (TSX:GIX)(FRANKFURT:GF6)(BERLIN:GF6)(STUTTGART:GF6)(MUNICH:GF6) (the "Company" or "Geologix") is pleased to announce, further to previous announced sulphide metallurgical results, it has completed extensive cyanide bottle-roll and column metallurgical test work on the oxide portion of the Tepal Project resource and has received favourable recoveries of 78.6% for gold in the bottle-roll and 78.4% for gold in the heap leach column tests, respectively. Cyanide consumption is low at 1.6 kilograms (kg)/tonne. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tepal Project Oxide Recoveries --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold % Cyanide Consumption Bottle-Roll Tests -------------------------------------------- 78.6 % 1.4 kg/tonne --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gold % Cyanide Consumption Column Leach Tests -------------------------------------------- 78.4 % 1.6 kg/tonne --------------------------------------------------------------------- Bottle-Roll Tests P80 1.7mm Feed Size, 96-hour leach time --------------------------------------------------------------------- Column Leach Tests 12.5mm Feed Size, 88-days leach time --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dunham Craig, President and CEO, stated, "Once again, test work from Tepal has exceeded our expectations. Although the oxide portion of the Tepal resource only represents 14.5% of the resource, it's highly beneficial to project economics to get these types of recoveries from the oxide test work. When we internally assessed the Tepal project's resource and metallurgical recoveries during our due diligence period earlier this year, we used lower recovery rates than those returned from our latest test work. However, when we couple the previously reported sulphide recoveries of 87.4% for copper and 60.7% for gold with these 78.4% oxide gold recovery rates, we project it should impact favourably upon our Preliminary Economic Assessment work currently being conducted by SRK Consulting of Vancouver, British Columbia. This initial indication of the project's potential positive economics, coupled with the current 5,000 metre resource expansion drilling campaign, provides the Company with significant encouragement for the ongoing advancement of this project."Core samples used in the metallurgical testing were collected in both the North and South Zones of the Tepal resource and were blended to a metal grade equal to the grade of the oxide portion of the resource. Additionally, samples were selected to spatially represent the average oxide ore characteristics. The tests were completed on both the North and South Zones and weight averaged by zone resource tonnages to derive an average recovery and reagent consumptions for the deposit. The bottle-roll and column leach test work was completed by McClelland Laboratories Ltd., Sparks, Nevada under the direct supervision of William Joseph Schlitt, Consulting Metallurgist to the Tepal project. The oxide material represents 14.5% of the total Tepal project resource estimation, released by ACA Howe International Ltd. (see January 19, 2010 Press Release).An alternative oxide processing method consisting of bench-scale flotation test work followed by cyanide-leaching of the resultant oxide concentrate is currently being investigated using a similar deposit representative sample selection to the above oxide test work. This flotation and bottle-roll test work portion of the review was conducted by G & T Metallurgical Services Ltd. in Kamloops, British Columbia.Positive results were reported earlier from the sulphide mineralized portion of the Tepal project resource estimation (see August 3, 2010 Press Release).Dunham L. Craig, P.Geo., a 'qualified person' for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Properties of the Canadian Securities Administrators, has reviewed and verified the data contained in this news release.Geologix Explorations Inc. is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring and developing mineral resource opportunities with the potential to host world class mineral deposits.

Science editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt, a geophysicist who has served as editor-in-chief of the Science family of journals since 2013, today was nominated to stand for election as next president of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
(From Science / by Marianne Lavelle) — If elected, as expected, McNutt would become the first woman to head the U.S. government's premier science advisory organization, which was founded in 1863. McNutt is slated to take the helm at NAS on July 1, 2016, when current president Ralph J. Cicerone ends his second term, the Council of the NAS said in a statement. Cicerone, an atmospheric scientist, has served as president since 2005. McNutt plans to remain at the helm of the Science journals until she formally takes the NAS post.
In a statement, McNutt said she was "immensely honored" to be nominated to lead the NAS, an organization that she said "represents the highest standards of scientific honesty, quality, and integrity."

Syracuse stuns No. 11 West Va. 49-23
SYRACUSE, N.Y. There's something about Syracuse that West Virginia just can't seem to figure out. For the second year in a row, the Mountaineers came into its game against the Orange as the clear favorite, only to be handed a disheartening upset loss.
Ryan Nassib threw for four touchdowns and the Syracuse defense kept star quarterback Geno Smith in check as the Orange stunned the 11th-ranked Mountaineers 49-23 on Friday night.
Syracuse (5-2, 1-1 Big East) hadn't beaten West Virginia (5-2, 1-1) at home in a decade and Mountaineers head coach Dana Holgorsen didn't mince words to try and explain his team's futility against the Orange.
"It's quite simple," Holgorsen said. "We knew what we were getting ourselves into. Syracuse beat us physically on all three sides of the ball. They outplayed us and they outcoached us. It's as simple as that."
Smith was 24 of 41 for 338 yards and threw for two touchdowns. The No. 1 quarterback in the Big East never found a way to beat Syracuse's blitzes and overpowering defense.
"They played a great game," Smith said. "We didn't respond and play well. It's tough. It hurts. I'm bleeding right now. I just gotta move on, and I've just got to be a leader for this team."
Smith also threw two interceptions, including one by Orange cornerback Jeremi Wilkes right at the goal line in the second quarter that erased what could have been a crucial touchdown for the Mountaineers.
"I've been saying it all year, we're not a very efficient football team," Holgorsen said. "We're able to make some big plays, but we're not efficient."
Syracuse hadn't scored that many points in the series since a 45-0 win in 1960, and a crowd of 45,265, the largest in three years, roared its approval with thunderous cheers as third-year head coach Doug Marrone enjoyed the most significant win of his brief tenure.
It also was the highest-ranked opponent Syracuse has beaten since a 50-42 triple-overtime win over No. 8 Virginia Tech in 2002.
"We have a long way to go. Let's not confuse the issue," Marrone said. "We kept them off-balance. We made plays at the right time."
The Orange played a near flawless game to break the streak just as they did last year in a 19-14 upset of the Mountaineers in Morgantown. That victory stopped an eight-game losing streak to West Virginia, and this one was even more impressive.
The high-powered West Virginia offense was kept in check most of the game, only shining in fits and spurts. West Virginia entered the game averaging 40.8 points and 503.5 yards offensively and finished with 408.
Smith's interceptions came at critical junctures - the first at the Orange goal line and the second on the final play of the third quarter when the game was still within reach.
He was outplayed by Nassib, who was 24 of 32 for 229 yards, hit tight end Nick Provo for three touchdowns, and did not have a turnover. Nassib also hit David Stevens on a 29-yard scoring toss midway through the third quarter that gave Syracuse a 28-16 lead.

Fred Coyle to continue as chairman of Collier County commission
Collier County's new leadership doesn't look much different than the old leadership.
County commissioners Tuesday voted 3-2 to reappoint Commissioner Fred Coyle to the chairman's position. This marks the second consecutive year Coyle has held the position.
Commissioner Jim Coletta will serve as the board's vice-chairman.
Commissioners Georgia Hiller and Tom Henning cast the dissenting votes, while Coyle and Coletta received support from each other and Commissioner Donna Fiala.
The board chair is tasked with running the meeting, setting the agenda and deciding when an issue can come up for a vote.
Fiala said Tuesday she wanted Coyle to continue in the chairman's position because the county was embroiled in the Jackson Laboratory project.
"We been put through the ringer," Coletta said after Fiala nominated Coyle for the position. "I don't want to change courses in the middle."
Tammie Nemecek, president and chief executive officer of the Economic Development Council, which brought the Jackson project to Collier last year, said some organizations rotate the chair and some do not for continuity's sake when there are big projects underway. She said that happened at the EDC in the past.
"I think (Coyle) has done a great job as chair of the Board of County Commissioners and they liked him to continue," she said. "I think that is a good thing."
But not everyone agreed with the decision to keep Coyle on board as the board's chairman.
The chairman and vice-chairman's position has traditionally rotated between board members. While board members reached by the Daily News last week were hesitant to say who they planned to nominate for either position, they did say the traditional rotation would have put Coletta in the top spot.
That rotation would have placed Henning in the vice chairman's position.
Hiller and Henning both supported keeping the traditional rotation in place.
"I think its good to have different leadership styles on the board," Henning said during the meeting. "(I think we should) proceed like we have historically."
Coletta said he had no problem not being made the chair and he said serving as vice chairman allows him to serve on the county's citizen-based Productivity Committee.
"That's where you see the groundwork done," he said. "I look forward to being vice chairman. I have no objection to that."
Hiller did have an objection, and said she believed it was "absolutely essential" the board rotated leadership.
"What I am seeing … is entrenched leadership and cronyism," she said. "We need a fresh approach and new ideas."
The Jackson Lab issue seemed to be at the heart of the decision to keep Coyle at the helm, with Fiala saying the board has been working on the biomedical village for some time and that Coyle has done a great job as a project proponent.
The county has been working for the past year to bring the Maine-based biomedical company to Collier County. The research lab would have to be funded through a combination of state and county dollars, and there has been significant debate throughout the community about whether the county should be using taxpayer dollars for the project.
Peter Gaddy, president of the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association, said Tuesday the decision to keep Coyle as the chairman signals to him that the county is determined to move forward with the project.
"I think that it shows that they intend to drive this project through irrespective to how the people of Collier County feel about it," said Gaddy, who is one of several Collier residents who filed a lawsuit against bond financing for the project.
"It shows arrogance to take the rotating (chairmanship) away from other districts."
Coyle's term as chairman lasts a year.

i opted for a body pillow with #1...this time around i may splurge as well. i spent the last month pg with #1 on the couch bc i just couldnt find a comfy way to sleep. i figure this time around i will have little out of pocket costs so i deserve a treat! btw, boppy makes an affordable option!
I know. I about cried when I saw it. I also get a "My Breast Friend" nursing pill for $2.99 (which is great because my poor Boppy has seen much better days).
I shop thrift stores and resale shops exclusively. I can't remember the last time I bought anything "new."
Check consignment shops. I don't know where you are but here in Texas we have a couple of chains that are exclusively for baby and children's items only (Once Upon a Time is one). You can get great deal on gently used things.
Still, I agree that pillow is probably one of few things that is worth paying full price for.

SuSE driver install problems
Dunno what I did wrong but I definatly did something bad!
I installed the drivers and everything went through fine, I then went an edited the XF86Config file (I dont have XF86Config-4) and changed
Driver "nv"
Driver "nvidia"
saved and restarted. the computer now brings up a black screen whenever I try to launch X and nothing else happens.
I also tried the Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" but that didnt help either.
Any ideas guys?
just set Option "NvAgp" "0" in your XF86Config, this should work, but it is slow, because it's disabling agp.
I also had this poroblem. However, both "NvAgp" "0" (off) and "1" (wich I presume forces it on) works. Removing the Option "NvAgp" line gets me a black screen again.

Missouri coach Frank Haith got the nod as the AP's Big 12 coach of the year. Oklahoma State's LeBryan Nash is the freshman of the year.

Is online dating real!
Writing about myself seemed easy at first, but then I realized trying to explain to a bunch of strangers, who you are, and what your looking for, is a lot more complicated than it seems. I'm just me everyday, all day. I love to cook, watch movies, go to the library, try new foods, and meet new people. I enjoy the finest in life, which to me consists of: A nice hot bubble bath, a glass of white wine, and some smooth jazz. I love art in all forms, painting, music and photography just to name a few, and I love the beach, the water has a soothing calming effect that heals the soul. My family means everything to me, and taking it one day at a time is a must. I'm looking for someone who knows how to enjoy and appreciate the little things, and finds humor in the most craziest of things. I'm not big on outdoor camping, but would love to meet someone who is, so I can give it a try. I want to be able to enjoy that persons company, without the agony or them asking things constantly that are of the past, and have nothing to do with them or their future. Someone who also likes to try new foods, and who enjoys dining every now and then, and great music. Nobody's perfect, and just because you like something I have never tried before, doesn't mean that I am opposed to it! Honesty, patience, and understanding goes a long way with me, and my goals and career path are set to allow me to grow and progress towards the future. I would really like to have a friend to share those things with me along the way!

PTA Bank, a top regional financial institution, has appointed Mr Admassu Yilma Tadesse as its new president and chief executive officer. He replaces Dr Michael Gondwe, who has completed two five year terms at the helm.
The trade and development bank of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) countries provides medium term financing to its members to undertake infrastructural developments.
"PTA will have an important role to play in helping accelerate regional development and integration through its understanding of the member countries, trusted relationships and partnerships across the public, private, and international sectors," said Mr Tadesse in a statement to media houses.
Mr Tadesse joins the bank from the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), where he served as the senior group executive.
At DBSA, he started several initiatives that saw the Southern African countries' bank reposition itself to be crowned twice as best in financing the development of shareholder states.
PTA bank -- headquartered in Bujumbura, Burundi -- extends loans of between Sh435 million to Sh1.8 billion to governments and commercial entities in member countries for a repayment period of between three an 10 years.
Recently, PTA bank director for Kenya said the lender had advanced an estimated Sh16 billion to Kenyan companies, including Athi river mining, Uchumi supermarkets, K-rep bank , Family bank, Magana flowers and Mea fertilizers.
PTA bank Kenya also tapped Sh24 billion from international markets through a Eurobond to finance small and medium enterprises.
The institution had also helped in the formation of Gulf African Bank in Kenya, which was the first Muslim bank to dip its toes in Kenya, targeting the over 5 million Muslims.
Rwandan airline company RwandAir was also recently extended a Sh5.2 billion ($60million) loan for the acquisition of two aircrafts.

Lions RB Joique Bell predicting at least a 1,200-yard season
Bell has made a rather lofty prediction for 2015, particularly for a guy that has never rushed for more than 860 yards in a season. He claims he will exceed that by plenty.
"I'm going to rush for over 1,200 yards," he told MLive.com. "That's the minimum. If I do less than that, I'll be surprised. I'll be disappointed. Anything more than that, I wouldn't be surprised at all."
Bell averaged a mediocre 3.9 yards per carry in both of the last two years.

Eagles sign John Moffitt, release Cole Manhart
As expected, the
Moffitt was a third-round draft pick in 2011 and played two years for Seattle. He was traded to Denver and retired early in the 2013 season.
He was arrested in 2014 on assault and drug charges, which were later dropped.

Chiefs' Jeremy Maclin off to best start ever with Alex Smith
Maclin came to Kansas City from Philadelphia in the offseason, and his communication with Smith has been more than either player expected.
"I don't think I've ever been off to a better start with a particular quarterback in my life," Maclin said, per KCChiefs.com.
Offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, like head coach Andy Reid, brought the Philadelphia offense to Kansas City, which has helped Maclin's transition.
"He's only a couple years removed from our system," Pederson said. "We've changed some things since he's been in the offense, but he's such a smart, savvy, veteran guy that he's picked up on what we're doing really fast. He and Alex have sort of developed that continuity right away."
Redskins' David Amerson looks to win back starting job
After a sub-par 2014 season,
Amerson lost the job after a season in which he indecisive and lacked aggression, he admitted to the Washington Post. Amerson didn't record an interception and had just seven pass breakups.
"At the end of the day, that's all it comes down to: just making plays. That's the thing I felt like I was missing last year: being that big play-maker, game-changer," Amerson said. "I basically had been that all my life, but it was different for me last year. It was unusual for me. So I need to get back into my groove and just find my swag. … Like I said, I've been that all my life, and always had that – I wouldn't call it a gambling type of mentality – but knowing when to go and make that play, when to step up. It's something I think a lot of people naturally have in them, and knowing when to bring it out. I just have to have that mindset."
QB Russell Wilson reiterates desire to stay with Seahawks
"The rest will work out. The contract will work itself out. I'm excited about it and excited to hopefully be a Seattle Seahawk for a really, really long time," Wilson said during a football camp. "So, that's the goal."
Wilson is slated to play out the final year of his rookie contract in 2015, making $1.54 million, a figure wildly below market value for a player who has been to back-to-back Super Bowls.
Seahawks DE Michael Bennett threatens to hold out
Bennett attended the mandatory minicamp last week, which indicated he would be fine for training camp. But he told KHON2 that he might consider holding out in an attempt to get a new contract and remain in Hawaii.

Bryant was slapped with the franchise tag this offseason and has declined to sign the $13 million tender. He is seeking a long-term deal and has threatened to sit out the regular season opener if no such contract has been completed. If they cannot come to terms, he must play out the year for the $13 million.
Broncos rookie TE Jeff Heuerman making strides in ACL recovery
Heuerman -- a third-round pick in this year's draft -- hurt his knee back in May, but is making good progress on his way back from the injury.
"I wouldn't call them big strides," he said with a laugh on Thursday, "not literally, because they're actually pretty small strides—but I'm making progress."
Heuerman will likely miss the entirety of this upcoming season, but that hasn't put a damper in his recovery.
"Each day's a bigger step, which it kind of sounds corny and it kind of sounds like I'm just saying that, but it really is," Heuerman said.
Vikings rookie CB Trae Waynes not worried about starting
Waynes -- the 11th overall pick in the draft -- said he has received a lot of help and guidance from his new teammates.
"A lot, it's almost like I've been getting coached by six different people during every play because those guys are so willing to help me out with any questions I have. They are being really helpful and helping me adjust," Waynes said.

I'm so sick all day everyday. At first, I thought it was a blessing, I mean if I had m.s. then baby was probably OK. But now being sick all day is really wearing me out. I can't keep up with my 2yo and I feel like such a bad mommy for just wanting to lay on the couch curled up with my bucket....I feel like a bad wife for not cooking dinner but it just makes me dry heave and i have no appetite either. I've got to run to the store and think i may try the sea bands.
This goes away SOON, right?????Ā

A Viking searching for the south east end of Europe.
Hi, here goes nothing..
I have been lurking this forum for a few years and i have loved every minute reading. specialy the ride reports. All this great reports and all the inspiering riders have inspired me to do my own epic ride. Not epic in the scale of most reports here but to me it is epic. I also wat to give somthing back to ADV community, so will try to do a report. Even if my english skill will limit my ability to do so. I hope you have patience.
The plan is to leave Norway 3 may. Maybe a day earlier if work will let me. Then im heading sout east and hopfully il end up on the south coast of Turkey before the 11 may. My wife and daughter is flying down then and will meet up with me for a week of relaxation. We have a holiday apartment there and when they fly back home im packing the bike again and hedding north.
This is the planned route down
And this is the return.
Will be fun to get back home and see what i ended up doing compared to the original plan.
So what do i ride.. ITs not a adveture type bike but a road warrior.
I hope to be back at the end of may as 4 weeks is the time i have off from work.
I'm hoping to do a "live"report but if that dont work out i will write the report when i return.
The Rider:
Im 39 years old, hopfully 40 in july. Married and have a 13 year old daughter. Normaly she ride with me on all my rides but this one she is flying. Her mother wont let her go on this one and she is not happy about it:1drinkShe love two things and thats riding with me on my bike and her special efects makeup. She have a blog going so if anyone of you care to have a look she would love to get some more views. http://justmakeup.blogg.no/
Thanx to anyone taking the time to have a look. Might make her less sad over not comming with me.
My wife ride a bike to but sadly she have a bad knee so cant come with me on anything this long. So this is my ego trip. No one else to care about but myself.
This will be it for now i need to go and sort my gear and do some packing.
Sounds good, and you have the perfect missile for the job, built to cross continents quickly.
Go Johnny - go! :thumb
Best wishes for your ride, from annother Norwegian.
The big day is here. Im leaving at 1300. Ferry to Denmark at 1630 and thats the last of my fixed plans. If you dont have a plan it cant go wrong.
Here is the gear that i have packed. http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps157cdf87.jpg
Had room for it all exept the cat. she will be staying at home.
Weather here is not great. Just a tiny bit over freezing and windly, but luckely no rain today. I hope the weather improve as i travel south.
This is it, im on my adventure. I will travel unknown lands, experience unknown culture, strange people, concour high montain passes. Like a templar knight i set out to slay the hords of Mordor, kill Dragons and rescue virgins in there tow.... oh back to reality.
Im still in Norway, 1 hr from home. Waithing for the ferry that will take me to Denmark. a ferry i have been on hundreds times before.
But this is MY adventure and even if it dont reach the level of all the other RR on this great forum its still my epic adventure and i DO feel like a Templar knight off to the far East :D
Here is a pic of my setup before leaving.
Im with you on this one fellow viking:1drink
Love your enthusiasm about the trip. I'm following. :norton
Enjoy your trip. I lived in Germany for three years and had great fun riding there, the Alps and the Dolomites in Italy. Be safe.
I'm in - enjoy the trip and all its beauty.
Awesome! Can't wait to hear more about this.
When I was planning my loop from Munich to Istanbul and back, I got some really good advice to avoid the Adriatic coast and instead explore further inland through Albania, etc. The coast looks like it would be fun, but the traffic and the tourist dives make it unpleasant in the extreme. The inland route is much less travelled, but still easily navigable on your bike.
The ferry arrived on time and I got the bike strapped down securely, in fact i think the bike was so secure even a hurricane would not have made me worry.
The sea was calm and we reached Denmark my bike was where i left it and unharmed. Don't even think it was lonely as another Kawasaki and a Yamaha was there for company.
I ate (to much) a nice dinner and sat on the rear deck enjoying the sun and sea.
Highways in Denmark is often windy so I was not looking forward to the riding, as i only planed on staying on the highway and find some place to spend the night quickly so i could get up early next morning to start my Iron Butt ride. But it was not so bad and i did a few more km then I thought i would.
The Hotel was nothing fancy but warm and clean and only 60 Euro. And i must say i did love the parking.
I was less happy about what i found when i opened my right pannier and found coke all over it. One of the coke cans i bough on the ferry was leaking.
Thankfully the damage was minimal. Only one pair of socks was soaked, the rest was packed in plastic bags. First 30 min at the hotel was spent cleaning the pannier. And i don't think it ever have been this clean before.
Should be all set for a good night sleep now. And only need to repack the pannier before setting off tomorrow. hoping to reach Wien before sunset, 1000 miles from here.
This is it, im on my adventure. I will travel unknown lands, experience unknown culture, strange people, concour high montain passes. Like a templar knight i set out to slay the hords of Mordor, kill Dragons and rescue virgins in there tow....
I like this...... if you find a lot virgins, ¡¡¡ run !!!
Safe ride Johnny
In on this one, should be great. Where are you meeting your daughter at? Good on you for keeping them involved in your plans. Ride safe..:clap
My wife anddaughteris flying ti Antalya on the south coast of Turkey. Two hours from where my step father have a holyday apartment. 11 to 18 may will be with them relaxin.
Here is a pic of me and my daughter when i stoped at her school before setting off.

Apple quietly updates 30-inch cinema display
Those looking to invest in either the Dell or Apple 30-inch displays, will have an even harder task on their hands.
Apple has quietly updated the specs of its 30-inch cinema display to be inline with Dell's screen offering of the same size, the Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP.
Eagle-eyed shoppers have informed Pocket-lint that Apple has changed the specs in the US, but not here in the UK.
Specific changes include brightness being boosted to 400 cd/2 (from 270 cd/m2). Also, the contrast ratio is now 700:1 (from 400:1).
The price in both countries remains the same; $2499 in the US and £1799 in the UK.
We aren't sure why Apple hasn't updated the specs in the UK, but one idea put forward is that the company has simply yet to update its product page on the UK website.
We will keep you posted.

Anatomical Museums
Originating in Europe, where they were attached to an academic institution or medical practitioner, the Anatomical Museum found its way to America where in the late-19th century these private museums became a way to entertain the morbidly curious as well as those hoping to self-diagnose disease.

Simply a Distraction
I'm not easily impressed, but I am easy to talk to. I work hard and play hard. I really like the playing. I just moved back to the area after a seven month adventure. It's nice to be somewhere familiar but I really don't plan on staying long. I'm incredibly impulsive. Which can be exciting or terrifying - Depending on how you look at it. And I love anything that involves physical activity, good conversation, driving, the outdoors and/or wine. I went to school for Telecommunications Broadcasting with an emphasis in Radio. I had my own show on my school's radio station for about a year and it was amazing. I have expanded my love for radio to mass communications and media and plan on finishing school in the very near future. I'm very happy by nature. I love to talk about anything and everything. Mildly intelligent conversations are key. I don't always edit myself but I'm pretty laid back/non-judgmental. I play the violin and guitar, write, and like to read. When I'm upset - I drive. When I'm happy - I drive. It's one of my favorite things to do and I find it even better with good company. I've been all over the US but I have yet to use my passport. That's next on the agenda. I have a unique outlook on life that has come with a lot of experience packed into a very short amount of time. I love to learn and I've had a pretty interesting education so far. Some other random tidbits; I'm stubborn and loyal to a fault. When I get excited I cuss like a sailor. Sunshine and water make me happy. I dance around the kitchen while I cook. (I'm a bomb cook, and happen to love cooking for others.) I'm passionate and driven. If I want something - I will move mountains to obtain it. My tolerance for bs is non-existent. I'm pretty much awesome, but I would say modesty is by far my best quality. Yes As far as what I look for in someone else - I tend to appreciate people for their own unique qualities. Honesty and integrity are two very important values of mine, and I look for the same in others. I think that two people should compliment each other and build each other up. That being said, I don't have immediate expectations. I don't believe in forcing anything and like the natural progression of relationships - friendship and otherwise.

I recently got a kitten. Her name is Petra. And while I generally prefer dogs because you can take them out and do fun activities with them.. I really like her. She's like a tiny, vicious lion. I can digg it.

Customer Reviews of Microsoft Laptop Sling Backpack - Fits most 15.4" Laptops
Very Nice and Comfortable Pack2/28/2009
I have had this backpack for just a few days but can already tell that I love it. I bought this pack because I have a loooooong walk from my car to my office. It is very comfortable to use and holds allot of items. I looked at allot of other packs and this was a great find especially with the mail in rebate that was being given with it. The material is very durable from what I can tell and the interior is very well padded. Go ahead...buy it.
Small Backpack2/24/2009
This is a very small backpack. I could fit in only my laptop,powercord and one folder.The sling is very cumbersome as the heavy load of the bag ,with the laptop and other things comes on just one shoulder. Bag looks sturdy and has a nice look,but I just started using it,so quality can be judged only after using it for a year or so. This thing is not worth 34$ though.
Very nice pack!9/6/2008
I've had this backpack for a few weeks now, and I love it! I wanted a sling backpack that would fit my laptop, and this worked out perfectly! In the main compartment where the padded laptop sleeve is, there is a netted compartment where you can store your power cord. I found that this backpack could fit my laptop, accessories, books, and even some clothes. The mp3 pocket is in a convenient location on the strap of the pack. I've been very satisfied with this product, though I did get it at a great deal!
very small backpack8/23/2008
This is a high quality product, but the pockets are very small. Do not plan to store more than your most required items in this sling backpack. This sling backpack is designed to go over your left shoulder.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Pretty bag8/20/2008
Good buy
The product is very useful and the deal is just worth it.

Creating Photo Books with Blurb presents three separate workflows for creating and publishing books that showcase photographs using the Blurb self-publishing service. The course starts with an exploration of photo bookmaking in BookSmart, Blurb's free desktop software, then shows how to make a simple photo book in Bookify, Blurb's online bookmaking service. The course also covers Blurb's PDF to Book plug-in for use with custom books created in Adobe InDesign, as well as information on ordering copies of photo books and selling them in the Blurb online bookstore.
To change the overall appearance of your book, you can change the style of the entire book or you can switch out the color of page backgrounds on individual pages. You can even add Photo borders, and that's what I'm going to show you how to do in this movie. You'll remember when I started this book earlier in this chapter, I chose an initial style and that style set the page background colors, it set the default font for any text in the book, and it set the starter page layouts. So now I'd like to change that. Here in the Arrange Pages view or back in the editing workspace, I can go to the bar at the top of the screen and choose Style Book.
These are the same four styles that I chose from when I started this book. Instead of Bold Black, I could select something like Clean & Simple. Notice that the illustration of this style shows page layouts that are full bleed that fill the entire pages. If I apply this style, it will change the page background colors and the default font, but it won't change the page layouts. Once I've started to build a book, changing the style doesn't affect the page layouts. So, if I click here, you can see that all the pages now have a white background, but the layouts on the individual pages are just as they were a moment ago.
I'm going to go back to Style Book to show you what the Fun & Funky style looks like. This is more of a serious photo book so this is a little bit too much fun for my taste. I'm going to go back to Style Book and I'm going to choose the Elegant style. Now, if I scroll up, you can see that all of the pages in the book have a white background. And if I were to type in a text box, the default font would be the one for this particular style. As I said, I can do that either here in the Arrange Pages view or back in the Edit Workspace.
I'm going to return to the edit workspace by hovering underneath any one of the page spreads and clicking Edit Pages, and that will take me back to that spread in the editing workspace. Let's say that I'm happy with this style overall, but I do want to change the page background on this page. To do that, I'll click the palette icon underneath this page. And that opens this box, where I can choose one of the colors that comes with this style. I could try this brown for example. I don't think that's exactly the right color for the background of this page. It doesn't really go with the photo.
So I'll go back to the palette icon again, and this time instead of choosing from these chips, I'm going to click the eyedropper here. And then I'll move the eyedropper over a color in the image. Notice that next to the eyedropper down here, as I move, I can see the color that's under the eyedropper. And I'm just going to go until I see one that I think would look good with this image, maybe this reddish brown. I'll click there, and then I'll come down here and click Done. And that's changed the background color of this page to the color that I sampled out of the image and that often works best.
I'm going to go over to this page and click the palette under it, because I want to show you that if you don't like solid color page backgrounds, clicking this arrow offers up some pattern backgrounds. So, let's see what this one looks like, for example. Here, I get a yellow background with this graphic that's pretty much obscured by the photo in this page layout. If I were to change this page layout-- I'll use the Shuffle Layout to get to a new page layout, I can see more of that graphic on the page background. One more thing I can do to change the appearance of my pages is to add borders to the photos.
I'm going to click the palette icon again for the page on the left, and then I'll click the Photo borders tab. By default, there are no borders on photos in this style. Here I have a number of border choices. I'm going to select this one, and that applies the border around the photo on this page. If I want to add the same border to all of the pages, I'll go back here. Again I'll choose Photo borders, I'll click Change all pages to this style and then I'll select a photo border style. And now you can see that border around the photo on this page, as well as on this page and all the other pages in the book.
So that's how to use the book style, background colors and graphics, and photo borders to change the appearance of your book.

Respond to Review of La Oveja Negra
by flormadel
Review: I've been here twice and it has been great both times. On both occasions my non-veg companions have loved their meals. I cook quite a lot, so at least to me their cooking is not something out of the ordinary. However, it's quite nice to be able to walk into a bar in Spain and have vegan tapas. There is not a lot of light, and visually, it's not the best, (it looks kind of Andalusian, with a few clashing pictures and posters) but overall, I liked their eclectic vibe. The staff is incredibly amazing, and the prices are dirt-cheap. I love the neighborhood the bar is in, and it's a great place to start your night with their cheap beers. Loved their chill vibe and definitely see myself going back there again.

Designed to form the backbone of Strategic Air Command's nuclear deterrent, the B-52 force was brought to higher states of readiness whenever crisis threatened the USA, most notably when Kennedy and Khruschev went eyeball-to-eyeball over Cuba. Soon afterwards, B-52s formed the backbone of the USAF's bombing campaign in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. This book follows the story of the B-52 from its genesis to its first combat missions in June 1965 and through to the briefly sustained but bloodily fought Linebacker II offensive in late 1972. Even after the withdrawal of US forces in 1973, B-52s remained in-theatre, flying training missions mainly from Guam.
