2011 Lamborghini Murcielago Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2011 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe at this time
2011 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

for used Lamborghini Murcielago.
Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

Jeff Thoughts
You could imagine my surprise when I saw the above headline on Grindtv.com...
I thought back to late February when I shot a viral video of an alligator watching the first team train at Blackbaud Stadium in Charleston, S.C. The video has over 40,000 views so of course I wondered what I did wrong...
As much as I like it when Section 8 Chicago sings "There's only one Jeff Crandall" at Fire reserve matches, I've come to terms with the fact that its probably not true.
I've also come to terms with the fact that I'm not the bravest Jeff Crandall in the world either...
From the article:
"A sheriff's deputy didn't bother to wait for a trained alligator trapper to deal with an unruly alligator that was snapping at cars near a dentist's office in Oldsmar, Florida. Nope, Pinellas County Deputy Jeff Crandall decided to take action himself, since the animal was heading toward the roadway.
According to numerous reports, Crandall grabbed a rope from his trunk, lassoed the gator's neck, jumped on its back and taped its huge mouth shut—exactly what wildlife officials tell you not to do."
I'd never have done that... In case you've forgotten, this is my closest encounter with a gator...
Maicon Santos' two-goal substitute performance had me thinking this week, how often have Fire players come off the bench to tally a brace?
The Answer: It's a very rare thing… Santos' effort on Sunday was just the fifth time (or .008%) in the club's 573 all-time competitive matches that a player has scored two goals off the bench. It was just the third time in MLS league play and first since 2006.
The others...
Orr Barouch - Chicago Fire 4, New York Red Bulls 0 - U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal (7/12/2011)
In a memorable match that was moved up to 5pm because of a massive power outage at Toyota Park, Barouch came on at halftime for Cristian Nazarit with the Fire already leading 2-0. It took the Israeli youth international just five minutes to make it 3-0 before closing the scoring off a feed from Diego Chaves in the 69th minute (WATCH).
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Barouch led the side with three goals in Open Cup play on the way to the tournament final that year.
Chad Barrett – Chicago Fire 2, Real Salt Lake 1 – MLS Regular Season (6/28/2006)
Throughout much of his first two seasons with the Men in Red, Chad Barrett was an oft-used second half attacking sub. In this match, he repaid Dave Sarachan's faith in him, entering for captain Chris Armas in the 68th minute before heading home the equalizer off a cross from Justin Mapp in the 80th minute (WATCH).
Five minutes later, Mapp would slot Barrett through the RSL backline before the second-year striker put slid his effort past Scott Garlick and in off the post for the winner (WATCH).
The effort was the first of two braces for Barrett during his time with the Men in Red, the other coming in a 5-1 victory at Red Bull on May 25, 2008.
Dipsy Selolwane – Chicago Fire 4, San Juan Jabloteh 0 – CONCACAF Champions Cup (3/17/2004)
With the team coming off a somewhat shocking 5-2 first leg defeat away to the Trinidadian side, the Men in Red returned to Soldier Field needing four goals in the second leg in order to advance.
Though Damani Ralph took the aggregate score to 5-3 just before halftime, Selolwane entered for current Fire captain Logan Pause to provide more offense after the break. The Botswanan international's long-range effort in the 51st minute brought the Fire to within a goal before his empty net finish 11 minutes later brought the score level.
Selolwane proved to be Man of the Match when he set up Chris Armas' 90th minute series winner to push the Fire past Jabloteh 6-5 on aggregate and into the Champions Cup semifinals.
Interestingly, that performance was the only brace of Selolwane's Fire career, though he did come up with back-to-back game-winners in the team's run to the U.S. Open Cup final that season.
Hristo Stoitchkov – Chicago Fire 7, Kansas City Wizards 0 – MLS Regular Season (7/4/2001)
Of course the Mad Bulgarian was the first to do this with the Fire and of course it came in the Fourth of July Massacre.
With the team already leading 4-0, there was little need for Stoitchkov to come on in the 78th. One minute after entering the match, Piotr Nowak scored his second to take the game to 5-0 and then Stoitchkov proceeded to drive the dagger in tallying in the 83rd and 88th minutes to exact revenge for the Fire's MLS Cup loss to Kansas City the year before (WATCH).
Like Barrett, Stoitchkov tallied two braces while with the Men in Red. The first came in his debut appearance, a 4-2 Opening Day loss to the Dallas Burn on March 18, 2000.
The Chicago Fire Ticket Sales staff is pulling double duty today to make sure all areas of Toyota Park are safe and clear of snow ahead of Saturday night's home opener vs. New England.
In this edition of Jeff Thoughts, I capture Esteban Canales, Dave Berchem and Raul Luna having some fun at my expense...
Kudos to the Sales Staff for going the extra mile for Saturday's game:
Touching down in Charleston earlier today, the team ate lunch and took in a bit of the Real Madrid/Manchester United Champions League match before heading out to their first training session in the Palmetto State.
Due to heavy rain in the area the past few days, the team's regular spot at Charleston Southern University wasn't in shape for a session so the squad ended up at Blackbaud Stadium's Training Field.
With this being our third straight year to Blackbaud, I've often wondered about the adjacent field which has the stadium on one side and a pond on the other... I wondered because when I saw it before, it had warnings about potential alligators.
Well, today I wondered no more as one of the resident gators (lets call him Charlie) was there to greet us and watch the entire 90-minute training session from just behind one of the goals. Luckily, everyone's shots were very accurate and on frame today...
Check out this video of the players reaction to Charlie and photos from day one of training below...

docjj wrote:My in-laws were at the game and said most pitches were around 90 MPH. They saw one posted at 93 MPH. This is definitely down from his high school senior year, when most pitches were 93-94 and occasionally got up to 97-99 MPH. The gun wasn't a "slow" gun because Gausman came in and was dialing up 95-96.
In the post game interview, Bundy seemed a bit perplexed by it, "I need to figure out what it was I was doing in high school and get back to doing that..."..
It is obviously early to sound the alarm- maybe he's going through the "dead arm" period of spring ball. Maybe there's a mechanical issue. I won't mention the worst case scenario. But this will need to be followed closely going forward. 95-97 MPH is extremely different than 90 MPH. Ask Matusz.

Old Sneakers wrote:I agree, which is why I was against him being called up last year as well as the possibility this year. Let him learn how to pitch so he's not just another guy that is making trips to and from Norfolk. We really need him to become a solid #1 guy. I see no need to rush him to do spot duty in the majors.
thezeroes wrote:Bundy falls into a different category than does Gausman and others. He was signed to a MLB contract and placed on the Forty Man roster. He already use an option year in 2012 and will use his second option year in 2013. It will be a shorter road to the majors because we can not wait the usual 4/5 years of development of a high school player without having him out of options in 2015.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to compare clinical, economical and quality of life (QOL) outcomes in patients living with HIV on zidovudine/stavudine regimen and tenofovir regimen. This study will be an unblinded randomized trial. The first step will be empirical data collection for one year for calculating the incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER). The second step will be to perform a simulation model for calculating long term ICER.

Detailed Description:
The drug regimen for treatment of HIV at the free ART centers in India includes stavudine/zidovudine and lamivudine with nevirapine. Approximately 20-30% of the patients on this regimen experience drug toxicity within the first six months of treatment.
The tenofovir based regimen is one of the least toxic regimens with less than 5% of patients experiencing toxicity. Tenofovir based regimen is not considered as the first choice for ART in the Indian governmental program, because it is more expensive than the other drug regimens, in spite of better clinical outcomes in resource limited settings. The cost of treatment with stavudine/zidovudine is presumed to be less expensive and is the preferred first line treatment, but we believe that although the direct cost to the government is less, patients on zidovudine/stavudine regimen have to spend more money for additional hospital visits and admissions, laboratory investigations and other medications due to ART induced toxicity.
There are no published data including economic, clinical and quality of life outcomes to compare the two regimens from India. Hence, this unblinded randomized pragmatic comparative effectiveness study will seek to identify the best treatment for HIV patients based on the incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER), quality of life (QOL) and clinical outcomes.
The clinical outcomes include viral suppression, change in the CD4 and proportion of patients with toxicity and opportunistic infections. Direct costs for the treatment will be calculated. The QOL scores will be estimated and compared between the regimens using questionnaires. QOL scores and direct cost will be used as utilities for calculating ICER.

Primary Purpose: Basic Science
|Official Title:
|The Effects of Progressive Handgrip Exercise Training on Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation in Chronic Kidney Disease
- Venous Diameter. [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Measurements were made using duplex ultrasonagraphy. Measurements were made at predetermined distances 5 to 10 cm proximal to the anastomosis (dependent on wound dressings and turbulent flow around the anastomosis). The scanning position for each patient was traced using transparent sheets which allowed analogous measurement positions for all scans. Cross sectional vascular diameter measurements were made using conventional grey scale B Mode imaging. Diameters were measured from the inner edges of the vascular wall (Wiese & Nonnast-Daniel, 2004).
- Maximum Handgrip Strength [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Handgrip exercise
Handgrip exercise - patients allocated to this intervention will carry out an eight week post operative progressive handgrip exercise training program
Other: Post operative progressive handgrip exercise
As soon as possible post operation the patient will commence an eight week progressive handgrip training intervention
|Active Comparator: Treatment as usual
Other: Treatment as usual
Continue routine care, with removal of exercise information given to patients(if anye.g. do not give out squeeze balls)
Detailed Description:
The arteriovenous fistula is considered to be the gold standard form of access for haemodialysis patients, however only 37% of haemodialysis patients have this form of access. A possible explanation for this could be the high fistula failure rate due to the lack of maturation. Therefore interventions aimed at enhancing fistula maturation are warranted. One such intervention could be forearm exercise, however this recommendation is not evidence based. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether a program of post operative progressive hand grip exercise can improve fistula maturation.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:

12 Devices You Didn't Know Were Web-Connected
Publisher: Fantasy Flight Games
Price: $59.95
For: 3-6 Players
Time: 2-4 Hours
Anyone who's familiar with HBO's hit show Game of Thrones or George R.R. Martin's series of fantasy novels on which it's based, and craves the Iron Throne themselves, should add this enthralling game to their collection. But be warned, honor has no place in Westeros, and the amount of backstabbing in a typical game could very well ruin friendships.
On its surface, A Game of Thrones is a strategy game akin to Risk. But the game uses no dice and instead relies on a mix of diplomacy and deception to decide a player's fate. Armies come at a premium, so combat is often a last resort, and even then it only occurs with the promise of an ally's support. When played with all 6 players, which I cannot recommend highly enough, the game is addictive and not for the faint of heart.
Pros: Captures the spirit of the source material. Unique game mechanics offer stunning victories and soul-crushing defeats. The release of additional expansions promise years of gameplay to come.
Cons: The 30-page rule book can feel daunting, and you'll refer to it constantly during your first few games. Not always easy to find 5 people with 4+ hours to kill. Can cause hurt feelings (after all, when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die).
Publisher: IELLO
Price: $39.99
For: 2-6 Players
Time: 30-45 Minutes
King of Tokyo is a fast-paced giant monster brawl from the creator of Magic: The Gathering, Richard Garfield. Perfect for parties, this game sees players pick one of six muscle-bound beasties for a classic king of the hill fight for the city. Sixty-six specialty cards further enhance gameplay. What else would you expect from the Godfather of collectible card games?
Even more important than the cards are the dice—6 enormous dice that can only be rolled with two hands—which make up the backbone of the game. They determine damage dealt, health received, energy to spend, and victory (read: destruction) points.
The game offers players lots of flexibility, so they can choose to apply as much or as little strategy as they'd like, either biding their time and building up their creature's abilities or rushing in headfirst for a rock'em, sock'em battle royale. There's really no right or wrong way to play, and because games typically last about 30 minutes, it's fun and easy to experiment.
Pros: Quick-to-learn, easy-to-play fun for the whole family. Gorgeous artwork by Benjamin Raynal. Live out your favorite kaiju eiga fantasies and make your childhood dreams come true.
Cons: None.

Gombe-Masito-Ugalla Ecosystem
The overarching goal of the Gombe-Masito-Ugalla (GMU) Program is to conserve biodiversity and protect and restore wildlife habitat in critical ecosystems in western Tanzania.
The GMU program helps local communities living near key chimpanzee habitat make a living in ways that do not destroy the forest. The program targets 52 villages that surround the focus conservation area, which includes Gombe National Park in the north, Masito and Ugalla forests in the south and the corridor that joins the two ecosystems. The area is home to approximately 311,000 people who depend on fishing and farming as their primary economic activities.
In order to achieve our objectives in the GMU, JGI and its partners are:
- Developing and implementing village land-use-plans;
- Connecting forests though community-based forest management;
- Identifying and slowing major drivers of deforestation;
- Increasing capacity of local communities to manage forest fires through training, outreach and capacity building;
- Increasing capacity of local government authorities to monitor the illegal extraction of forest resources;
- Promoting environmentally friendly agricultural practices;
- Expanding JGI's HIV/AIDS awareness and education project; and
- Raising local incomes with the implementation of environmentally friendly community enterprises.
Background / Issues
JGI's community-centered conservation approach was developed in 1994 through the implementation of the Lake Tanganyika Catchment, Reforestation and Education (TACARE) Project. Since then, TACARE has expanded into the Gombe-Masito-Ugalla Program.
The landscape of western Tanzania remains seriously threatened by unchecked development, unsustainable farming techniques, destructive and uncontrolled wildfires, and a lack of local capacity to establish and enforce more environmentally friendly land-use policies and practices. Climate change and the increased environmental impact and decreased productivity that result from the HIV/AIDS epidemic are also having a significant impact on sustainable development and habitat preservation in the region.
GMU Landscape Includes:
- 311,000 people who depend on fishing and farming as their primary economic activities.
- Between 600 and 1,000 chimpanzees, 25 to 40 percent of Tanzania's entire chimpanzee population;
- Significant populations of other primates such as the red colobus monkey, blue monkey, redtail monkey, vervet monkey, yellow and olive baboons and bushbabies; and
- Other threatened species such as elephants, eland, hartebeest, duikers and buffaloes.

While city lights at night serve as a good proxy for population density, North Korea provides a dark exception.
Scooped by
Seth Dixon
onto Geography Education
This image is appears to be a regional inset of the classic Earth at Night composite image however this nighttime remote sensing image was taken from Sept. 2012. The Earth at Night image is typically used in classrooms to discuss what this actually means for human geography (Population density? Development? Consumption? Where? How come?). However, this particular portion of the global image focused on the Korean Peninsula highlights two other specific issues:the impact of a totalitarian state can actually be seen from space as South Korea has a per captia income level 17 times higher than that of North Korea. the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) can be seen in the Yellow Sea as fishing vessels form a line approximately 200 nautical miles off the coast of South Korea.
Tags: economic, political, resources, water, sovereignty, coastal, territoriality, states, unit 4 political, remote sensing.
We should try to alleviate the great difference of the North and South Korea. It's time to cooperate.
The contrast between North and South Korea in this Earth at Night image shows just how different these countries are. South Korea, with aid from the United States, is becoming a highly developed and prosperous power, with a impressive economy compared to what it was just decades ago. On the other hand, North Korea is dark, both literally and figuratively. North Korea's economy remains highly undeveloped, and the few utilities that the country provides are unreliable and not far stretching. The only visible bright light in North Korea is the city of Pyongyang, and even that is nothing compared to Seoul.

As part of the establishment media's ongoing project of gerrymandering the liberty movement in advance of the 2016 presidential campaign, the New York Times has published an article purporting to expose some libertarians' "embarrassing" interpretation of the Civil War.
"In fact, libertarians have spent years trying to deal with the sliver of their movement that is focused on re-litigating the Civil War. Yes, the Civil War, which officially ended 148 years ago," declares the Times' Rachel Weiner.
As one slogs through Weiner's repetitive and meandering article, the not-at-all-subtle subtext jumps off the page and slaps the reader. The between-the-lines battering ram: Libertarians are racists. Well, except for the establishment-approved libertarians.
Proof of the latent "neo-Confederate" racisms, according to Weiner, is the libertarian criticism of Abraham Lincoln. "And there are some ideological similarities that explain the gravitation of the anti-Abraham Lincoln crowd to the pro-liberty movement," Weiner writes.
What could libertarians possibly have against the founder of modern centralization, a man who viewed the United States less as a union and more of a nation — an opinion, by the way, that would have resulted in immediate excommunication from the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
As libertarian and nullification expert Tom Woods wrote a recent blog post:
The precedents set by Lincoln during the war have been exploited ever since by left-liberals and neoconservatives, who are all too glad to respond, when you object to some enormity of the War on Terror, "Why, even Lincoln did these things!"
In every other country in our hemisphere in which slavery was abolished in the nineteenth century it was done peacefully, without 1.5 million people dead, wounded, or missing.
The Lincoln legacy involves glorifying wars of nationalism and demonizing efforts at secession, wherever they may be and whatever the circumstances. To this day, Americans are taught to sympathize with central governments trying to keep territories from breaking away, and to look with disgust at smaller units seeking self-government.

Following the 5 - 3 loss to Atlanta, one thing was clear: the Rangers need to be disciplined.
Fighting the injury bug, New York exemplified a little rust and a lot of carelessness in their Thursday return to MSG.
The Rangers committed eight penalties in the game, including five in the first period.
Coming off a major West Coast road trip, the Rangers looked a little "stale" as Head Coach John Tortorella put it, something he acknowledged that every team goes through.
Less than a minute into the game, the Rangers' sluggishness was apparent. At 19 seconds, Evander Kane and Colby Armstrong skated through Mike Del Zotto and Michal Rozsival to crash the net and open the scoring.
"It's tough to start the game on a goal like that," said goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who played in his first start in eight days of rest."I felt a little off."
Despite being outplayed from the first goal on through the second period, the Rangers were within striking distance. Artem Anisimov tied the game a few minutes after the opening goal to give the Rangers some life, but in the end penalties continued to be the story, keeping the offensive guys off the ice and wearing down a young defense.
"We lacked discipline," said Vinny Prospal. "We beat ourselves down."
A step behind for most of the night, the Rangers couldn't finish. Even in the waning moments of the game with an opportunity to tie, shots were being avoided for the ill-advised pass.
The back-breaker, however, was Atlanta's fourth goal late in the second period. Having taken the lead a minute earlier, the Thrashers dumped the puck in where a miscommunication between Lundqvist and Rozsival caused a turnover on the boards.
Rozsival couldn't recover and Perverley found Kane wide open in the slot for the tip in goal.
"We were bad defensively," said Tortorella. "There was miscommunication between [Lundqvist] and [Rozsival]... it was the pivotal point of the game."
Penalties and poor defensive zone play lost this game for New York, who will try to remedy this in Ottawa this afternoon.
Following the game, the Rangers recalled P.A. Parenteau and re-assigned Dane Byers.
Gametime is 2 pm.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate reporter
Last week, on Jan. 13, Price City Council passed several measures and awarded thousands of dollars to various causes across the county. The group that received the highest amount was the effort to bring the Boys and Girls Club to Carbon County. This organization received around $15,000, pending that they meet stipulations set by the council.
"This is going to work. I know it is," said Councilwoman Jeanne McEvoy. "I would like to see the stipulations met and award them the $15,000."
In order for the club to be awarded the money, it must first provide a list of other funding sources as well as prove that it has formed a board of directors. The organization is also required to update the city on a periodic basis. Before the council agreed to the funding, the group made it known that they had around $4,100 in the bank, use of Mont Harmon Jr. High's facilities and a promised donation from East Carbon City ($300). The organization is still short the $20,000 it needs to hire an executive director.
"I perceive that you want Price City to put our neck on the chopping block for you," said Mayor Joe Piccolo, during the funding request. "But, remember, this is a one - time shot. This money was given to Price City as a one time benefit to the community."
The money was originally granted to the city under the Utah Fast Pass program in two installments; $12,500 in 2006 and another $5,000 in 2007, according to city accountant, Pat Larsen. With only $15,000 being given disbursed, $2,500 remains.
Aside from the stipulations, a few questions remain about the longevity and sustainability of the program. As a group, the Boys and Girls Club has approached most of the Carbon County city councils and the county commission asking for support in terms of cash donations. They were turned down by the county due to the fact that such donations must be budgeted.
In Helper and Wellington, the action received vocal support and the club was offered in-kind donations.
All of the Price City Council supported the action except Councilman Richard Tatton.
"With some of the information, I didn't have a good understanding on how concrete those figures were. I question the longevity of the program," he said, adding however that he supports the club's intentions.
In other business, the council accepted and approved an audit report from accounting firm Smuin, Rich and Marsing (SRM), which approved of the city's accounting practices and gave a favorable, unqualified opinion. Although the report was one of the longest the city has ever received, it was also one of the least expensive, coming in at $11,200 as compared with 2007's $13,500. While the report was completed by the company, the city has been able to save money preparing it, because its employees have been able to prepare many of the statements in-house.
"They (SRM) come in and verify that the statements are correct with certain procedures involving random samples of payables and standard accounting practices," said Lisa Richens, former Price city finance director who used to work for SRM and helped prepare the audit.
As far as a city water line replacement involving the division of drinking water, the council has received a total of 17 bidders since Jan.11. Although the bids came from all areas of the state, a low bid of $938,000 was received from Terry R. Brotherson Excavating, Inc., of Mt. Pleasant. Around $1.3 million was budgeted for the project. Although the bidding was competitive, the Mayor Joe Piccolo made it clear that he wanted to make sure that the city would select a reliable contractor.
"When times are tough, bids get cut real thin, but we want to get someone who can finish the job," said the mayor.
The council also unanimously approved an 11- item consent agenda. Items on the agenda which concerned expenditures included: filter room light for the water treatment plant $3,053 budgeted, a release of $7,200 to the Green Team to purchase two 5x8 trailers to help recycle paper and aluminum which will likely be placed at Sutherlands, payments for 100 E. road construction totaling $82,193 and payments for a Homestead Blvd. loop drainage project totaling $20,680.
As a final announcement, the mayor made it known that he will notify the city department heads to ask them to make a 6 percent cut in their expenditures.
"At this point, I'm asking the departments to voluntarily make some cuts because the city is experiencing some lower revenues," concluded Piccolo.

have you setup your samba users?
Hi Guys,
I'm setting up a small samba share server on my home lan, and I'm having some configuration errors.
This is what I want to do:
I want to share the following directories:
/music --Read-only by everyone but user Trickster
/stuff --Read-Write for everyone
/Jorge --Read-Write for user Trickster, no access for anyone else.
This is my smb.conf file:
Now, if I browse the network under Windows, I see the server,though not the shares. If I click on the server (as to see what is inside. ie. the shares.) it asks me to type in a username and password, and no matter what I type, I can't get in. ???
Also, are my share definitions correct for what I want to do?
Thanks for any input.
have you setup your samba users?
Ok, I figured I had to run smbpasswd. Now I am getting to some shares. My questions are now:
1. How can I restrict some folders only for certain users?
2. Do I have to create a local account for each user?
3. Is there a way to set it up so the user won't be prompted for a password? Would that be a big security risk?
How much of a security riskis to SUID smbmnt?

Rangers vs. Lightning
Madison Square Garden, 1:00 p.m. Sunday
Rangers' Record: 33-26-4
Lightning Record: 36-18-7
The Rangers have one shot left to cream the Tampa Bay Lightning who have had their number all season. The Lightning have won all three times the two teams have faced each other – and three different ways: regulation, overtime and a shootout.
If the standings remain the same in April, the seventh place Rangers would face the second place Lightning in the first round.
The Rangers will be hoping newly acquired defenseman Bryan McCabe will lock the blue line down with the youthful core and bring some firepower to the power play. McCabe was traded from the Florida Panthers in exchange for Tim Kennedy and a third round draft pick.
The Blueshirts skated rings around the struggling Washington Capitals in a 6-0 victory on Friday. Derek Stepan's line with Wojtek Wolski and Mats Zuccarello had another strong outing while Erik Christensen brought some offense to the table, and not in a shootout.
Christensen had a career high four-point game which might be the spark the inconsistent forward has been missing.
With 10 goals in their last two victories, the Southeast division leading Lightning won't be an easy task. Martin St. Louis has been red hot all season and is in the midst of an eight game point scoring streak. They snapped the New Jersey Devils winning streak on Friday with a 2-1 victory.
The Rangers can't get into penalty trouble with Steven Stamkos and St. Louis to contend with. Brandon Dubinsky, Brian Boyle and Co. need to keep the offensive pedal to the metal for sixty minutes. The Lightning beat the Rangers 2-1 in overtime on New Year's Day the last time the teams met.
While Henrik Lundqvist has been rock solid in net notching his eighth shutout for the league lead, it might be time for a breather to give Martin Biron a go.
The afternoon matinee kicks off a three game homestand for the Blueshirts who need to keep piling on the points in the standings.
Injury update: Ruslan Fedotenko reinjured his shoulder in his first game back and will be out tomorrow along with Marc Staal (knee) and Marian Gaborik (concussion) who is day-to-day.

LOWVILLE Acting County Judge Donald E. Todd had harsher words for Lewis County than he did for defendant Robert C. Diehl at Wednesday mornings sentencing of the former county recreational trail coordinator.
Mr. Diehl was convicted in October of third-degree attempted grand larceny, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and official misconduct. He was accused of submitting a voucher for $3,262.97 worth of gravel, delivered to his residence for his personal use.
In Lewis County Court on Wednesday, he received a conditional discharge and 300 hours of community service, not the probation and one weekend in jail that the prosecutor recommended.
Calling the case a political football, Judge Todd questioned why someone at the county told V.S. Virkler & Son to cash the countys check when it was known to be improper.
Though he received no answer from Assistant District Attorney Caleb J. Petzoldt as to why the check was cashed, Judge Todd suggested it was someone in the county who wished to have Mr. Diehl charged with a Class D felony, instead of a Class E one.
The taxpayers better be upset about it, Judge Todd said.
The error was caught by an employee at V.S. Virkler upon receipt of the check.
Board of Legislators Chairman Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham, also an employee at V.S. Virkler, was alerted and the check was not cashed.
Mr. Bush informed then-County Manager David H. Pendergast and County Attorney Richard J. Graham of the check.
Mr. Diehl claimed to be surprised by the error. He then went in person to V.S. Virkler and wrote a personal check for the amount and was issued a receipt.
Mr. Diehls check, however, was not cashed. Instead, V.S. Virkler was informed by someone in the county to cash the countys check, not Mr. Diehls.
It is unclear who directed that the county check be cashed.
Legislator Richard C. Lucas, R-Barnes Corners, said after the sentencing Wednesday: Ive said it all along. It was a witch hunt.
He said the legislators were not informed of any activity involving Mr. Diehl until after he was suspended.
As chairman of the (trail) committee, I wasnt called. I found out first from a call from Bob, then I got a call from the county manager, he said. Everything happened so fast. There was never any discussion. I was just told what the county manager and county attorney decided to do.
He was also unaware who made the call to authorize the check. Wed all like to know who did it, he said.
Mr. Diehl has contended he issued the request for payment in error as an electronic copy of the bill was delivered to his work email.
During sentencing, Judge Todd took issue with Mr. Diehls explanation. In his testimony, Mr. Diehl admitted to being surprised by a larger than expected bill from V.S. Virkler. Knowing that unexpected amount and receiving a bill at his home address a day prior to receiving an emailed version with the exact amount were too much for Judge Todd to believe was a mistake.
Instead, he suggested Mr. Diehl took advantage of unquestionable deficiencies in the countys auditing process, while also urging the county to correct problems in that system.
Though Mr. Diehl and witnesses testified to the fact, Mr. Diehl made it clear when he ordered the gravel that it was for personal use, Judge Todd explained Mr. Diehls intent at the time of ordering was not the issue. Instead, it was his intent when requesting payment from the county.
Judge Todd agreed with a statement made by Mr. Diehls attorney, Gary W. Miles.
Mr. Diehl is a good man, Judge Todd said, but Im not here to judge the man. Im here to judge his conduct. You engaged in conduct that was criminal.
The prosecution requested one weekend in jail and probation.
Judge Todd said neither was required, instead issuing two three-year conditional discharges and two 300-hour community service sentences, to be served concurrently, for all counts.
Mr. Diehl has filed an appeal of the guilty verdict.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH (AFNS) — Each year, thousands of men and women join the U.S. Air Force. Now, those Airmen have the opportunity to tell their stories in their own videos known as "Airmen Stories."
The videos will give potential Air Force recruits a chance to hear Airmen share their personal stories firsthand, unscripted and unrehearsed, according to Brig. Gen. Balan Ayyar, Air Force Recruiting Service commander.
Airmen are free to talk about what they like about the Air Force, what they've learned about themselves and how the Air Force has helped them meet their goals.
Airmen Stories may be featured on such social media as the AFRS Facebook page, the Airmen Stories YouTube page or other venues.

What's the difference between 'china' and 'porcelain'?
That China means "from China" was pretty simple, much more interesting is from what porcelain came out:
So we have a shell (cowrie) that resemble a young sow. Then came this new material from China that resemble the shell material for smoothness and glossy, so they took the Italian name of the shell for the material. Curiously enough now the shell is called Ciprea in Italian, I never heard the word Porcellana in Italian in relation to any shell.
They're pretty much the same: china is a type of porcelain. "China" can also be used to mean household tableware, much the same as "silverware" can refer to any utensils, even those that are not made of the precious metal.
Originally, "china" referred to porcelain-ware that was imported from China. It has evolved to a more general use to refer to somewhat fancy tableware and vases made of porcelain.

Ever gone in for a pair of fresh new Nikes and come out with a fresh pair of black eyes?
We feel your pain.
Mobs of anxious Nike enthusiasts waiting in line for days to get their feet into the newest release from the athletic shoe gurus aren't going to play nice when those doors open up and that burst of fresh leather and plastic hits their faces. Oh no, they won't play nice at all.
In an effort to make the experience of landing your fresh pair of sneaks a more enjoyable one, Nike has made it possible for you to reserve a pair via Twitter. Yes, Twitter.
Nike has set up designated "RSVP Dates" on which they will Tweet a hashtagged term relating to the shoe that is being released. Nike's followers then have one hour to direct message the store with the hashtag, last four digits of their State/Passport/Military/School ID number, and shoe size. A successful Nike shoe reservation will be confirmed by a direct message from Nike to the follower. All that's left is to snag your sneaks from the store. Done and done.
Check out more info on Nike's Twitter RSVP here.
What do you guys think? Good idea, or is Nike just getting sneaky (Ha! Because they sell sneakers…get it?) about building their Twitter following?
Would you use Nike's Twitter RSVP?

This is a thought, and possibly wayyyy off (in even logic as well). But here it goes.
Isnt there a file like hosts-deny and hosts-allow that allows you to specify hosts that are allowed/not allowed to connect? what if you setup just the LAN, and your remote PC to be allowed, all else denied? I am wary of this only because, I am not sure if the file requires IP's or hostname, both of which can be overcome by someone who knows their stuff.
I dunno, its a thought. I suppose this is a project that I should look into. It sounds like I may need something like this in the future. An admin ppp conection is something that may be beneficial.

I wouldn't think that it would be a problem:
1. The first thing the teacher showed us on Windows2000 was where the logs were, so that we could disable or delete them
2. He absolutely hates UNIX. He wouldn't dare touch it with a 10 yard pole.
3. When the sys admin showed him a bit of Windows 2000, he wanted to start with security. The teacher said: "Bah, I'm not interested in security". So the odds that we see him here are pretty low.
But if you guys are really worried, we could us all modify/delete our posts and talk about Asia Carrera.

PROVIDENCE – The wounds from Providence College's 17-point loss to Cincinnati were still in need of suturing when Ed Cooley sat down at a podium inside Madison Square Garden. Clearly determined to not wallow in self-pity following the Friars' latest one-and-done result in the Big East Tournament, the head coach elected to use the forum to look down the road.
Back-to-back losses to Connecticut and Cincy aside, PC posted seven wins in a 10-game stretch leading up to Wednesday's 75-66 win over Charlotte in first-round NIT action. Certainly the stretch is worth denoting, yet what has Cooley tingling with optimism stems from the cavalry that's coming.
Specifically, the Providence mentor noted, "the guys sitting out."
At this juncture, it's premature to speculate whether talented freshman Ricky Ledo elects to remain in the fold or test pro waters. Two players who aren't viewed as wild cards but like Ledo are sitting out this season are red-shirt prospects Carson Desrosiers and Tyler Harris. Without name-dropping, Cooley served notice that above all else, the 2013-14 Friars are positioned to reap the benefits stemming from an increase in bodies.
In the 7-foot Desrosiers and the 6-foot-9 Harris, Providence will automatically bolster its frontcourt with some much-needed size. Both players have been afforded plenty of time to contemplate their future roles due to sitting out in compliance with NCAA transfer regulations. Desrosiers will have two years of playing eligibility at PC after transferring from Wake Forest last spring, while Harris has three Friar seasons to look forward to after coming from N.C. State.
On the periphery, standing idly bye while your teammates step on the floor without you appears grounds for food for thought. Through the seemingly endless wave of patiently waiting their turns, Desrosiers and Harris have managed to stay plenty busy. The former mentioned that he makes it a point to lift four days a week and shore up his low-post moves. Meanwhile, the latter chose to take God Shammgod up on the late-night basketball sessions offered by the ex-Friar standout and current undergrad assistant coach at Alumni Hall in an effort to strengthen his ball-handling skills.
"It's gone by a little quicker than expected," said Desrosiers recently when asked about the near-completion of his transfer penance. "I made it and obviously am excited about the future of the program and where we're heading."
Harris was either being modest or completely honest when noting that he hasn't fallen prey to the game of wondering. Every step the swingman has taken has been done with a firm purpose in mind.
"I haven't been thinking too much about not playing. I just try and stay focused on wanting to get better," Harris said without a hint of hesitation. "Sitting out this year may have been the best thing that happened to me. It was a year for me to workout and get stronger so that when I come back next year, I'll be more ready than any time before and ready for an impact year."
There is one area where the presence of Desrosiers and Harris has been felt. When they aren't being asked to perform their scout team duties, i.e. mimic opponents on the Friars' schedule, the pair along with Ledo have teamed up to give their teammates a run for their money during scrimmages.
"Our practices are like our game days. Every day when we come (to Joe Mullaney Gymnasium), myself, Carson and Ricky make sure go at the guys no matter what," said Harris. "You never care if they're tired, but at the same time they're always pushing back. That's what makes practice so great and why we compete so hard."
Wednesday saw Desrosiers and Harris continue a season-long trend of working up a sweat at the Dunkin' Donuts Center with their teammates during pregame activities. Once PC and Charlotte got underway at 7:15 p.m., the two turned into the biggest cheerleaders in the building while sitting on the bench in sharp suits.
Such is the life chosen for those players who patiently wait their turn – the NCAA prohibits transfers from traveling with the team. As Cooley noted last week, Desrosiers and Harris remain very much on the radar. The fact that the coach acknowledged that it won't be long before they are reclassified undoubtedly must have served as a silver lining on a recent afternoon when Providence had a hard time matching up with Cincinnati.

A new, bolder Samsung is working on building its own loyal legions of fans. Lately they've been doing everything right: building great cell phones like the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S2 X, Galaxy S2 LTE, Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab tablets.
Samsung has put out some entertaining commercials showing lines of iPhone-obsessed hipsters who'll buy anything Apple because they think it makes them look cool. While those commercials were definitely fun, Samsung is sending a big message: Samsung's products are cool because they are extraordinary, not because they are "Samsung."
In order to take a chunk out of Apple's market share, Samsung knows it needs to redefine the way its products are viewed by consumers. The head of Samsung marketing Younghee Lee told AllThingsD in an interview awhile ago," Especially in U.S., people are obsessed with Apple. It's time to change people's attention." Lee said Samsung knows it has to figure out how to "engage with consumers from the bottom of their heart, and not just be a big and functional and rational and reasonable brand." Samsung is looking to create an Apple-like fervor for its products.
Samsung has a reputation for being pretty slow with bringing its accessories online. Industry leading manufacturers continue to provide the greatest selection of top brand cell phone accessories from Bags and Sleeves, Batteries, Bluetooth Headsets and Bluetooth Car Kits, Car Holders, Cases and Skins, Data Cables, Earbuds and Headsets, Keyboard and Protectors, Memory Cards, Screen Protectors, Speakers and Docks as well as Stylus and Pens.
It looks like Samsung is starting to accomplish its mission. Lines formed outside of a few London retailers earlier this week in anticipation of the release of Samsung's Galaxy S III. The lines are nothing like the ones formed by Apple devotees, but they are lines nonetheless.
Se the latest Samsung video:
The global launch of Samsung's Galaxy S 3 is off to an impressive start. It's getting the attention of the mainstream media, the blogosphere, and social media. Samsung leads the global smartphone market for numbers, now we'll see if they can create frenzy for everything Samsung.
