How many times have we sat around reminiscing about how outrageous the costs of today's services are or how things have changed from the good old days? I don't do it often but every once in a while I catch myself talking about how I felt or how someone else felt as we watched prices go up as the times changed.
Over the holidays I was talking to my sons about the first job interviews I had while I was finishing up college. I was graduating with a teaching degree and spent several weekends traipsing to small schools throughout Montana in search of that first job. It seemed as though I went through Great Falls a number of times as I headed to one school after another. We always filled up with gas at a place called Tower Gas and I paid 29 cents a gallon. I remember telling my wife that if gas got any more expensive we just wouldn't be able to afford to be driving as much. That was back in 1973.
Then just last week I was visiting with a co-worker about earning money for show tickets when I was a little kid, maybe eight or nine. We were very poor and often didn't have the quarter to get me a show ticket. This was in Canada during the late 1950's or early 1960's and the Canadian government offered a nickel a piece for gopher tails, in their attempt to curb the growing gopher and prairie dog problems in the area where I lived. (Now they are considered endangered and they run rampent tearing up good agriculture land).
Anyway, every Saturday morning my brother and I headed out with our traps. We knew that if we wanted a ticket to the movies we needed to catch five gophers each and if we wanted a soft drink it was another five tails. Then the price of going to the movies went up to 30 cents and I remember my mother telling us that we just couldn't afford to go to the show in the winter when the gophers were all hibernating.
I got an e-mail the other day from a friend who forwards (sometimes humorous) messages to me. This one was called Nostalgia, remembering 1957.
Remember, I was six years old in 1957 and just starting first grade. So other than the movie tickets and the fact that we just didn't have a lot of money I do not remember most of these comments but I find them interesting and certainly can relate to them as well.
"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20."
"Have you seen the cost of the new cars out next year? It won't be long when $5,000 will only buy a used one." (We didn't have a vehicle, other than the old tractor back in those days, but I bet you this was a common thought.)
"If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
"Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."
"I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying damn in "Gone with the Wind," it seems every new movie has either hell or damn in it."
"I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas." (Makes me wonder what they would think about the pictures of Mars this week?)
"Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball! It wouldn't surprise me if someday they will be making more than the president."
"I never thought I'd see the day all your kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now." (I love that one because I remember when we first got electricity.)
"It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet. It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
"I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business"
"Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people in congress." (I love that one.)
"The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
I also have a couple of my own observations from around this time as well. I remember my mother talking about stamps because we used to write my grandma a letter once a week. She had moved to Montana by then and my mother did complain when the post office started charging a dime for a stamp.
I also remember when I was 10 years old we got our first television set and we would sit around the monochrome 12-inch screen every Sunday night, and between the snowflakes, watch Bonanza. Back in those days mom only let us watch television for a half hour every other day.
All these comments were well ahead of computer, microwave, satellite dish and cell phone technology and how it has changed our lives.
Makes you wonder what our kids are going to be saying about us in 40 years.

Really glad to see that the arm is almost back in shape. Your fans have missed you. *S*ReplyDelete
So glad to know you are able to get back to doing what you love. My Mom tore her rotator cuff, and for her, and getting back to rotary cutting was painful and difficult. On the plus side, doing something you enjoy is great physical therapy! :-)ReplyDelete

While cemetery headstones have changed little over the years, Seattle company Quiring Monuments has started offering a new approach to remembering our loved ones in a unique and innovative way.
By incorporating mobile 2D barcode technologies like Tag into a new type of headstone, the barcode is capable of connecting people in remembrance in a meaningful and respectful way.
Barcodes on headstones can link to videos or photographs of loved ones, an obituary, family heritage and historical information, comments by friends and relatives, stories, or even a mobile site of a favorite charity if mourners wish to donate in memory. Mobile tagging adds a deeper level of personalization to an otherwise simple marker, providing readers with information about the person who rests beneath the stone, such as who they were, who loved them, and the mark they left on the world.
These memorial barcodes are hardly limited to grave markers. They can be applied to new or existing cemetery headstones, mausoleum shutters, urns, garden benches, or anywhere else that would be appropriate for remembering those we've lost. This budding technology provides a fascinating way of immortalizing a life story.
When asked why we would need technology such as this in a cemetery, Dave Quiring, president of Quiring Monuments, put it simply: "Nobody wants to be just another brick in the wall."
Would you scan a Tag on a loved one's headstone? Let us know in the comments below or on Tag's Facebook or Twitter pages.

Buzz: Are Dan Girardi and/or Michael Del Zotto Joining Carl Hagelin?
10:55AM: Johan Svensson, a fellow reporter in Sweden, wrote today that SSK is looking at both Del Zotto and Girardi, along with Jonathon Ericsson.
Apparently both players can play if they obtain an Italian passport, which Girardi already owns and Del Zotto can obtain since his father is Italian.
He notes that Del Zotto may be more likely to join SSK as he doesn't have the expensive contract that needs to be covered like Girardi and he also doesn't have the wife and young child that Girardi has.
10:52AM: In a tweet from Andreas Hanson, he says that he has received information saying that SSK has called out to get Del Zotto.
Hanson is a sports reporter in Södertälje.
10:20AM: According to some tweets from Sweden, specifically Jonas Lindebald, Michael Del Zotto and Dan Girardi may be joining teammate Carl Hagelin in playing for SSK in Sweden.
His tweet translates to "I have also been told that SSK is about to land Dan Girardi and Michael Del Zotto. "
In a follow up tweet he says that "Or rather, the SSK line fighting hard to get into one of them. "

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Many years ago there were only a few options for people who wanted to ride in the dirt or on back roads.
There were jeeps or trucks, and there were two wheeled dirt bikes.
My first experience in a vehicle that could go a lot of places was on a tractor on the farm. Then I got to ride in a jeep belonging to my friend's dad and we went some what I considered at the time, perilous places.
But the idea of something that could go between trees and rocks, and not stay on a road was an allure. Some people converted various kinds of three and four wheeled tractor or utility vehicles to travel there, but they really weren't marketed for that kind of recreation.
When I started riding in the dirt, I was nine years old and the first machine I was on was a Cushman Eagle (a street scooter) that had been geared down. Then I moved to a Cushman Trailster, a two speed, automatic clutch machine with eight horse power. My friends all rode Tote Gotes, Sherpas and one had a very trick (at the time) geared down Honda 50 he used. We rode around my dad's farm in circles for hours, thinking it was the best thing in the world.
Then one day, one of my friend's dads suggested we load up all the machines in his pickup truck and on a trailer and go and ride out in the mountains around Camp Williams. After that, my view, and my friend's views about what dirt riding was about, changed. Cow paths and farm roads were simple compared to rocky mountain trails that only jeeps had gone up or sand deep as your leg that lie along stretches of back country desert trails.
As we evolved so did the machines. Bigger bikes with huge engines, lots of travel in the forks and trick suspension setups on the back of bikes made them so we could drive them faster and faster.
From those bikes sprung the idea that maybe those utility vehicles with three wheels would be good in a lot of instances, and safer for many people too. People who didn't have the balance to ride a bike, could ride these. Honda introduced its three wheeler and things changed forever.
Then in 1981 Suzuki introduced a "four wheeler" it was a little orange 125 cc machine that had four balloon tires instead of three. I bought my wife one, because she wasn't too thrilled about riding two wheels with a motor. She put black dots on it and deemed it the "Lady Bug."
And suddenly the market exploded. Almost all manufacturers started producing four wheelers within a couple of years and soon they were outselling dirt bikes by far.
During this same time a few started producing go cart like mini-dune buggys you could steer with a steering wheel and drive like a jeep. That evolved into what is today the "side by side." They are four wheelers with two or more seats that you don't have to put your leg over to drive. Perfect for people who like more comfort but the ability to go a lot of places.
Just like the bikes over the years I have evolved, and gotten older. Older is the key here. While I still like a fast ride on a YZ or a CM with two wheels, I no longer own one. I moved from those to four wheelers years ago. Then last year my wife and I bought our first side by side so we would have room for the small grand kids who had become too numerous to ride on the back of our four wheelers.
Having been through all the steps brings up the obvious question. Which are better and for whom?
At this point in my life, dirt bikes are all but gone. A family intervention years ago concerning my propensity to fall down riding them ended that addiction.
But what should people know about the differences between these many machines.
Well here's my take for what it is worth.
Dirt bikes are thrilling. They can go places and fit through places nothing else (except a hiking person) can get to. Obviously in this day and age that is not something we do because we should stay on trails. But for single track trails they are the ticket. And there are a lot of designated single track trails throughout southeastern Utah.
Four wheelers are a very different animal. It took me a long time to appreciate them after years of being on two wheels. With a bike there is a lot of obstacles, such as rocks, washed out road erosion and logs that you can avoid on a trail. With a four wheeler that is not so easy. They are also much harder to get off you when they fall on you (I have had both do that). But overall they are more forgiving to. If you hit a rock the wrong way on a bike, particularly without lots of training, you could end up in a different place from the bike. Often a four wheeler will go right over it and you land on all four wheels. Other advantages: you can pack a lot of gear on a four wheeler that you can't pack on a regular dirt bike. A lot of people now go four wheeler camping, even pulling heavy duty trail trailers with them for all the conveniences that can be had in the back country.
To me the side by sides that are available today are much like a full circle of dirt motorization. I started out with my first experience in a four wheel drive jeep. Now I am probably going to end my time in what one can consider a "mini-jeep" (and in fact there is a manufacturer that builds one of them). The side by side I own is only a 500 cc and has room for two adults and three kids. It has many amenities and with the racks I have either built or bought for it, we can just about carry anything we need while we are out on the trail. But the thrill of the ride is different. As stable as a larger vehicle, they can be tipped over like anything (I have heard the most common injury in roll overs is broken arms because people hold their arms out thinking they can hold them up as they go over). At over 1300 lbs. without all the stuff and kids, they can't easily be pushed out of messes one might get themselves into. Thank goodness for winches.
The three experiences are totally different from one another. Bikes are raw and require lots of concentration to ride and keep upright. Four wheelers are more care free, but four wheels on the ground means more stability, but more territory to maneuver. Side by sides are like driving a small car; steering wheel and individual seats for everyone.
Also remember that different machines have different attributes. A cross country bike is different from a moto-cross bike, just as a two wheel drive race four wheeler is different from a four by four machine used for camping or hunting. Even in the side by sides there are large differences. Some are almost built for utility work while others are made for pleasure riding with lots of speed.
As we (my group of friends) have all learned four wheelers on trips go together well with side by sides. Neither seem to mix well with dirt bikes. It seems the four wheeled machines slow down the bikes, and keep them from going places they want to go ( if you all stick together, that is). Bikers also generally like a different kind of trail than those on four wheels do.
At the end of the day (and I mean literally at the end of the day) you generally feel much more tired and beat up riding a bike than a four wheeler. In the same vein you also are generally less tired after driving a side by side than you are a four wheeler.
All are great; it's just what you want out of the ride that counts. The thrill of riding is the trade mark of a dirt bike. The exhilaration of the side by side is being able to see the scenery and enjoy the ride while not feeling like you are working out at Golds Gym at the same time, like you sometimes do on a four wheeler.
There are compromises to be made on all sides. The best thing to do is figure out what you need and what works for you and your needs.

I am looking for a basic open source http proxy server for Google App Engine. Preferably written in Python. Any suggestions?
For basic HTTP/HTTPS tasks use http://code.google.com/p/mirrorrr/
Here is a quick demo of using Google App Engine as a proxy server.
for just HTTP/HTTPS PROXY, try with this
SOCKS is not an HTTP-based protocol, so it's not possible to write a SOCKS proxy on App Engine.
Edit: Note I wrote the above when you were specifically referring to a SOCKS proxy.
Regarding general HTTP proxy servers, you can't really do that on App Engine, either, because proxies need to be able to accept requests for any hostname; your App Engine app will only accept requests for the hosts you're serving off it.
You could write an 'anonymizer' type interface on App Engine, but it's not a true proxy, because it will require rewriting URLs to work.

There comes a point when you can no longer put a positive slant on a losing season.
For Coach Leo Paur, that time was Friday night as he watched his team get pummeled by Richfield with the score of 34-0.
Carbon opened by recovering a fumble from Richfield.
They immediately gave it back on a pick, making it the game's highlight and it came in the first possession.
By half time it was 34-0.
Coach Paur pulled all of his starters and put in his second string players.
Richfield did the same and the second half game was a scoreless affair.
The performance of his team on the field left Paur scratching his head.
"We had a good week of practices. Our kids were up beat and positive. Richfield was a team we could have beat, they are struggling. I wish I could say something positive about the game, but I can't. There will be a big mix up next week. I am going to play the kids that want to play, we sure can't do any worse."
The Dino sophomore team lost their first game of the season with a double overtime 20-14 loss to the Richfield JV.
Paur remarked that Richfield really wanted that win and threw in their top juniors to play against the Carbon sophomores and freshmen.
Carbon now has to face one of the top teams in 3A this week.
They head to Park City for a region match-up with the Miners on Friday with kick-off at 7 p.m.

Daemen College : Support Daemen : Memorial/Honor Giving
In one way or another, you are no doubt familiar with memorial giving. Chances are you've made such gifts yourself to express sympathy to a friend or loved one. Memorial gifts give people an opportunity to express themselves when words just don't seem enough. This is also true for gifts made to honor anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, or other special events. The gifts we receive "in memory of" someone provide an important source of financial support each year. Memorial contributions make many programs, services, and scholarships possible for our students.
Still another way to make a gift in memory of a loved one is through The Founders Walkway. As the walkway is becoming a cherished part of campus, College alumni, faculty, trustees, parents, and friends have already inscribed special sentiments in many bricks. These are messages engraved for posterity, special memorials, and dedications. You may select a brick or bench to be engraved with your name or to honor or memorialize a friend, student, your children or favorite faculty members.
Many people don't think of their will when considering a gift to Daemen College, but giving by bequest is another thoughtful way to support your alma mater. Bequests can be specified as memorial gifts when you make your will or you may have your attorney revise your will or add a codicil to include a memorial or honor gift.
A memorial gift is a gift that takes on special meaning and memorial givers enjoy knowing their action will live on for future generations. Remember, your gifts to Daemen College may take many forms and serve many purposes, including honoring someone you love.
Honor someone today with a thoughtful tribute. Perhaps Mother's Day or Father's Day. Clip the form below and return it to:
Pat Smith, Director of Leadership Giving
Daemen College
4380 Main Street
Amherst, NY 14226
Acknowledgement that a gift has been made to The Memorial and Tribute Fund will be sent to the person(s) named by the donor.

Andrew Strauss gave a huge lift to Turnham Green & Polytechnic, the Chiswick-based club who were chosen as the Middlesex showcase for NatWest CricketForce.
They may be busy preparing for the start of the 2015 county season, but that did not stop Glamorgan's Ben Wright and Jack Murphy from getting involved with the NatWest CricketForce weekend.
Warwickshire have identified the NatWest CricketForce weekend as the perfect chance for "one last push" in one of the most worthy and exciting initiatives in the whole of the county game.

The United States Forest Service is conducting a state-wide study to determine whether a number of Utah's rivers should be designated under the Wild and Scenic River Act. There seems to be a lot of misinformation among the public that Wild and Scenic Rivers status equates to limited public access.
To the contrary, if a river already maintains the values that make it eligible for wild and scenic status, then there is no reason for the forest service to manage access any differently once it is designated.
Instead of basing your opinion on hearsay, please find out the facts for yourself. In your area segments of three creeks are eligible for the status; Gooseberry, Fish and Huntington creeks. Please be aware that with each, the entire creek is not up for consideration, only segments.
The forest service will host a public meeting on Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. in the Huntington Town Hall. You should come and ask the forest service your questions and get answers from the experts on the subject.
Don't assume that Wild and Scenic Rivers status won't benefit you.

|Opera Debuts At Hayes Center Tonight
|Written by Christie James
|Thursday, 29 March 2007 03:19
According to Hayes Center Director, Jeff Clark, the Hayes Center will continue to bring in other performances and performers from outside the region. For example, tonight opens a weekend of opera that results from a partnership between the Hayes Center, Blowing Rock Stage Company, and ASU's Schools of Music, and Theatre and Dance.
The presentation features two works by Gian Carlo Menotti. Hayes Center provides the venue; Blowing Rock Stage Company has provided professional set designers, lighting technicians and costumes. And ASU provides a fourteen-piece orchestra and performing talent. The Medium debuted in 1946 on Broadway as a stage work; unusual for an opera. These will be the first operas ever to be performed at the Hayes Center. Amaya says the company is excited to be expanding beyond the realm of the university. Tonight's program begins at 7:30pm and runs through the weekend. Pick up tickets by calling the Hayes Center Box Office.

Read: Why This Is The Right Direction For CBA Talks
At CBC, Dan Oldfield writes that the NHL and NHLPA are finally on the right track to getting a deal done.
He says that real discussions take place and real solutions can be "canvassed" when meetings are done in small numbers, off the record and our of the public eye.
The two sides are slated to meet today in New York.
Yesterday, Darren Dreger tweeted "I highly doubt we will hear much post-mtng reax from either side Tues. Less is more as talks enter a very critical phase."
Tim Panaccio added "Don't look for a presser TUE after CBA meetings. NHL wants to go the silent route w/a statement, at best, like it did this weekend the league feels the less said publicly, the better off. also, talks expected to go thru the week."

Viruses, Worms, and Trojans For DummiesBy CoolJsa14 + Microsoft
Do you suspect you have a virus, worm, etc?
A virus is code written with the express intention that the virus code replicates itself. A virus tries to spread itself from computer to computer by attaching itself to a host program. It may damage hardware, software, or data. A worm is a subclass of virus. A worm generally spreads without user action and distributes complete copies (possibly modified) of itself across networks. A worm can exhaust memory or network bandwidth, causing a computer to stop responding. A virus that appears to be a useful program, but that actually does damage, is a "trojan horse."
Smart Prevention:
There are three steps that you can take to start to improve the security of your Windows-based computer: use a firewall, receive regular updates, and use antivirus software. For step-by-step instructions that explain how to do this for your operating system, visit the following Microsoft Protect Your PC Web site: www.microsoft.com/protect
On a Windows XP-based computer, the Protect Your PC Web site can automatically detect and configure Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), configure Automatic Updates settings, and provide information about antivirus software. On a Windows XP Service Pack 2 computer, Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) is renamed as "Windows Firewall (WF)."
If you suspect or confirm that your computer is infected with a virus, obtain current antivirus software. When a virus infects your e-mail or other files, it may have the following effects on your computer:
? The infected file may make copies of itself. This may use all the free space in your hard disk.
? A copy of the infected file may be sent to all the addresses in your e-mail address list.
? The virus may reformat your disk drive and delete your files and programs.
? The virus may install hidden programs, such as pirated software. This pirated software may then be distributed and sold from your computer.
? The virus may reduce security. This could allow intruders to remotely access your computer or network.
The following symptoms are frequently caused by or associated with a virus:
? You received an e-mail message that has a strange attachment. When you open the attachment, dialog boxes appear or a sudden degradation in system performance occurs.
? There is a double extension on an attachment that you recently opened, such as .jpg.vbs or .gif.exe.
? An antivirus program is disabled for no reason and it cannot be restarted.
? An antivirus program cannot be installed on the computer or it will not run.
? Strange dialog boxes or message boxes appear onscreen.
? Someone tells you that they have recently received e-mail messages from you containing attached files (especially with .exe, .bat, .scr , and .vbs extensions) that you did not send.
? New icons appear on the desktop that you did not put there, or are not associated with any recently installed programs.
? Strange sounds or music plays from the speakers unexpectedly.
? A program disappears from the computer, but you did not intentionally remove it.
A virus infection may also cause the following symptoms, but these symptoms may also be the result of ordinary Windows functions, or problems in Windows that is not caused by a virus.
? Windows will not start at all, even though you have not made any system changes, and you have not installed or removed any programs.
? There is much modem activity. If you have an external modem, you may notice the lights blinking too much when the modem is not being used. You may be unknowingly supplying pirated software.
? Windows will not start because certain critical system files are missing, and then you receive an error message that lists the missing files.
? The computer sometimes starts as expected, but at other times it stops responding before the desktop icons and taskbar appear.
? The computer runs very slowly, and it takes a long time to start.
? You receive out-of-memory error messages even though your computer has much RAM.
? New programs do not install correctly.
? Windows spontaneously restarts unexpectedly.
? Programs that used to run stop responding frequently. If you try to remove and reinstall the software, the issue continues to occur.
? A disk utility such as Scandisk reports multiple serious disk errors.
? A partition disappears.
? Your computer always stops responding when you try to use Microsoft Office products.
? You cannot start Windows Task Manager.
? Antivirus software indicates that a virus is present.
Recovering and Preventing:
1. Use an Internet firewall.
A firewall is a piece of software or hardware that creates a protective barrier between your computer and potentially damaging content on the Internet. It helps guard your computer against malicious users and many computer viruses and worms.
Use a firewall only for network connections that you use to connect directly to the Internet. For example, use a firewall on a single computer that is connected to the Internet directly by using a cable modem, a DSL modem, or a dial-up modem. If you use the same network connection to connect to both the Internet and a home or office network, use a router or firewall that prevents Internet computers from connecting to the shared resources on the home or office computers. Do not use a firewall on network connections that you use to connect to your home or office network unless the firewall can be configured to open ports only for your home or office network. If you connect to the Internet by using your home or office network, a firewall can be used only on the computer or the other device, such as a router, that provides the connection to the Internet. For example, if you connect to the Internet through a network that you manage, and that network uses connection sharing to provide Internet access to multiple computers, you can install or enable a firewall only on the shared Internet connection. If you connect to the Internet through a network that you do not manage, verify that your network administrator is using a firewall.
Note If you use a firewall on all computers on your home or office network you may be not be able to browse (search) for other computers on your home or office network, and you may not be able to share files with other computers on your home or office network. Internet firewalls can prevent browsing and file sharing
Windows XP; Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition; Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
If you are running Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition; Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; or any version of Windows XP, you can use the ICF feature. For additional information about how to turn on ICF, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
For additional information about ICF, visit the following Microsoft Web sites:
Other versions of Windows
For other versions of Windows, use Basic Firewall (for Windows Server 2003 servers running Routing and Remote Access), Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 (for Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003), or a third-party hardware or software firewall. For additional information about 3rd party firewall products, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
2. Update your computer.
Security updates help shield your computer from vulnerabilities, viruses, worms, and other threats as they are discovered. Steps that you can take include:a. Install security updates for Windows and Windows components (such as Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, and Windows Media Player). To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
Windows Update
How to keep your Windows computer up-to-date
Note Microsoft Windows NT Workstation, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows 95 have reached the ends of their product support life cycles. Updates that were provided for these operating systems are available on an archived basis on the Windows Update site. However, Microsoft no longer offers technical support for these releases. Because of this, consider upgrading to Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition so that you can take advantage of Automatic Updates and other security features that have been introduced since these older operating systems were released.
b. To install security updates for Microsoft Office products, visit the following Office Update Microsoft Web site:
c. To install security updates for your other programs, contact the manufacturer of the program for additional information. To locate security updates for other Microsoft products, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
For example, you can locate security updates for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), SQL Server, or Exchange Server at this Web site.
Note Network administrators can use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) tool to centrally scan Windows-based computers for common security misconfigurations and generate individual security reports for each computer that it scans. MBSA runs on computers that run Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. MBSA can scan for security vulnerabilities on computers that run Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. MBSA scans for common security misconfigurations in Windows, Internet Information Services (IIS), SQL Server, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Office. MBSA also scans for missing security updates in Windows, IIS, SQL Server, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Exchange Server, and Exchange 2000 Server.
d. If you are running Microsoft Outlook before version 2002, make sure that the Microsoft Outlook E-mail Security Update is installed:
? By default, Outlook 2000 post-SP2 and Outlook 2002 SP1 include this security update.
? Outlook 2000 pre-SR1 and Outlook 98 do not include this functionality, but you can obtain it by installing the Outlook E-mail Security Update. For more information about the Outlook E-mail Security Update, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
e. If you are running Outlook Express, use caution when you open e-mail attachments.
? By default, Outlook Express 6 SP1 blocks access to attachments.
? Earlier versions of Outlook Express (pre-Outlook Express 6) do not contain attachment-blocking functionality. Use extreme caution when you open unsolicited e-mail messages with attachments.
f. Disable Active Scripting in Outlook and Outlook Express.
Note By default, Active Scripting is disabled in Outlook Express 6 and Outlook 2002 and later. For additional information about how to disable active scripting in Outlook Express, click the following article number to view the
3. Use current antivirus software.
Microsoft does not provide software that can detect or remove computer viruses. If you suspect or confirm that your computer is infected with a virus, obtain current antivirus software.
Antivirus software helps protect your computer against most viruses, worms, trojans, and other malicious programs. Many computers come with antivirus software installed. You can also purchase antivirus software and install it yourself. You must also keep your antivirus software up to date.
? If you do not have an antivirus program installed, Trend Micro, Inc. offers a free online virus scanning service at the following Trend Micro Web site:
? If your antivirus program has stopped working, reinstall it.
? Obtain the latest virus signature file from your antivirus vendor's Web site. For each new virus, antivirus vendors issue updates as inoculants against new viruses.
? After a virus has been removed, scan your computer again to make sure that the virus has been removed. Schedule your antivirus program to check your system while you sleep.
? You may have to format your computer?s hard disk and reinstall Windows and all your computer programs if one or more of the following conditions are true:
? Your antivirus software displays a message that it cannot fix or remove the virus.
? The virus damaged or deleted some of the important files on your computer. This may be the case if Windows or some of the programs do not start, or if they start with error messages that indicate that you have damaged or missing files
? The symptoms that are described in this article persist even after you clean your workstation and you are sure the problems are caused by a virus.

The Difference Between a Virus, Worm and Trojan Horse?
The most common blunder when the topic of a computer virus arises is that people will often refer to a Worm or Trojan Horse as a Virus. While the words Trojan, worm, and virus are used interchangeably, they are not the same. Viruses, worms, and Trojan Horses are all malicious programs that can cause damage to your computer, but there are differences between the three, and knowing those differences can help you to better protect your computer from their often damaging effects.
A computer virus attaches itself to a program or file so it can spread from one computer to another, leaving infections as it travels. Much like human viruses, computer viruses can range in severity; some viruses cause only mildly annoying effects while others can damage your hardware, software, or files. Almost all viruses are attached to an executable file, which means the virus may exist on your computer but it cannot infect your computer unless you run or open the malicious program. It is important to note that a virus cannot be spread without a human action, (such as running an infected program) to keep it going. People continue the spread of a computer virus, mostly unknowingly, by sharing infecting files or sending e-mails with viruses as attachments in the e-mail.
A worm is similar to a virus by its design, and is considered to be a sub-class of a virus. Worms spread from computer to computer, but unlike a virus, it has the ability to travel without any help from a person. A worm takes advantage of file or information transport features on your system, which allows it to travel unaided. The biggest danger with a worm is its ability to replicate itself on your system, so rather than your computer sending out a single worm, it could send out hundreds or thousands of copies of itself, creating a huge devastating effect. One example would be for a worm to send a copy of itself to everyone listed in your e-mail address book. Then, the worm replicates and sends itself out to everyone listed in each of the receiver's address book, and the manifest continues on down the line. Due to the copying nature of a worm and its ability to travel across networks the end result in most cases is that the worm consumes too much system memory (or network bandwidth), causing Web servers, network servers, and individual computers to stop responding. In more recent worm attacks such as the much talked about .Blaster Worm., the worm has been designed to tunnel into your system and allow malicious users to control your computer remotely.
A Trojan Horse is full of as much trickery as the mythological Trojan Horse it was named after. The Trojan Horse, at first glance will appear to be useful software but will actually do damage once installed or run on your computer. Those on the receiving end of a Trojan Horse are usually tricked into opening them because they appear to be receiving legitimate software or files from a legitimate source. When a Trojan is activated on your computer, the results can vary. Some Trojans are designed to be more annoying than malicious (like changing your desktop, adding silly active desktop icons) or they can cause serious damage by deleting files and destroying information on your system. Trojans are also known to create a backdoor on your computer that gives malicious users access to your system, possibly allowing confidential or personal information to be compromised. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojans do not reproduce by infecting other files nor do they self-replicate.
Combating Viruses, Worms and Trojan Horses
The first steps to protecting your computer are to ensure your operating system (OS) is up-to-date. This is essential if you are running a Microsoft Windows OS. Secondly, you should have anti-virus software installed on your system and ensure you download updates frequently to ensure your software has the latest fixes for new viruses, worms, and Trojan Horses. Additionally you want to make sure your anti-virus program has the ability to scan e-mail and files as they are downloaded from the Internet. This will help prevent malicious programs from even reaching your computer. If this isn't enough protection, then you may want to consider installing a firewall as well.
A firewall is a system which prevents unauthorized use and access to your computer. A firewall can be either hardware or software. Hardware firewalls provide a strong degree of protection from most forms of attack coming from the outside world and can be purchased as a stand-alone product or in broadband routers. Unfortunately, when battling viruses, worms and Trojans, a hardware firewall may be less effective than a software firewall, as it could possibly ignore embedded worms in out going e-mails and see this as regular network traffic. For individual home users, the most popular firewall choice is a software firewall. A good software firewall will protect your computer from outside attempts to control or gain access your computer, and usually provides additional protection against the most common Trojan programs or e-mail worms. The downside to software firewalls is that they will only protect the computer they are installed on, not a network.
It is important to remember that on its own a firewall is not going to rid you of your computer virus problems, but when used in conjunction with regular operating system updates and a good anti-virus scanning software, it will add some extra security and protection for your computer or network.

For fans who are eagerly awaiting the iPad 2, a number of rumors about the features that will be included have made their way to the web over the course of the last few days. Although you shouldn't believe everything you hear about a product as large as the iPad 2, you have to believe that some of the rumors that have made their way online have some sort of truth behind them, or at least some safe bets as far as what features will be included. A recent article in a Chinese newspaper has shed some light on the features that Apple fans can expect int he upcoming version of the iPad.
First of all, the article said that the iPad will include a Retina Display much like the one that was featured on the unlocked iPhone 4. This provides users with higher quality screen sand video and seems like a natural next step for Apple in the development of their iPad.
The article also stated that the iPad 2 will feature a front facing camera for FaceTime video chat support, which also seems like a logical step for Apple. Most surprisingly, the report stated that the iPad 2 would feature a USB port, which is something that no previous Apple product has had. All of the data that is transferred between Apple products and PC's and other computer go through the charging cord which also features a one-sided USB connection. It doesn't seem likely that Apple will break from their current mold, but it would certainly be interesting and to the advantage of the user for the iPad to have a USB port to make for easier transferring of data between computers and the tablet device. It is a feature that many fans would be excited to have, but doesn't seem to be something that would be beneficial for Apple, given the popularity of their smart devices.
PureMobile carries a wide range of unlocked cell phones and cell phone accessories.

In shooting The Pacific, Windon was focused on honesty and believability, down to the beads of sweat on a malaria-stricken soldier's face. This time around, Windon is back in war mode, and while G.I. Joe: Retaliation leaves a bit more room for dramatization and even playfulness, the early talks with director Jon M. Chu and producers Herb Gains and Lorenzo di Bonaventura were centered around creating a realistic look on which to base the action and adventure.
"Jon wanted to make everything feel as real as possible," says Windon. "Even though there are extensive visual effects in thefilm, he wanted the characters to seem like people you might come across in real life. He wanted a very organic style with nothing forced or too clean and polished. We talked about making it fun, without distracting from our characters."
G.I. Joe: Retaliation was Chu's fi rst foray into the action genre, after successes like The League of Extraordinary Dancers and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. HBO initially suggested that film was the right origination medium for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but left the decision up the filmmakers. Windon and Chu were all for it.
"Film just seemed right," Windon explains. "Jon was very pro-film. For the time, the look we wanted, and the texture, it was the right decision."
Windon shot in the Super 35 format to achieve a wide 2.40:1 aspect ratio. For most shots, he used PANAVISION cameras and PRIMO lenses, although for overcranked, slow-motion shots he used an ARRI 435. He also made extensive use of the small ARRI 235 camera.
"I like to use the 235 at hip level, and it's just great at that," he says. "I used that technique quite a bit on The Pacific, with a little monitor onboard and no eyepiece. It's literally 'shoot from the hip.'"
That was in keeping with the shooting style that evolved, which prized continuous movement. "We just kept driving into things and getting whisked along," Windon describes. "The film takes place in different countries with different governments, events and strategies. That was the fun thing for me — there were so many distinctive looks in the film. It's quite a journey."
Almost the entire movie, aside from some mountain shots photographed in British Columbia, was done in Louisiana. Windon estimates that 85 percent of the film was produced on sets, many of which were built at a hulking former NASA facility east of New Orleans called the Michoud Assembly Facility.
"I've never seen buildings as big as these," remarks Windon. "We were filming in these massive chambers, if you like, and they became our sound stages. One of them looked so good that we ended up using it as a set itself, a place where huge missiles are being made. It was fun to light."
These big spaces required plenty of lighting firepower. The production used an abundance of 20Ks and large Fresnel units. Dinos and Maxis were used to create strong beams of light coming in windows.
Another sequence done at Michoud depicts a Tokyo rooftop. Windon shot with a 360-degree TransLite. The nearby Greenwood Plantation stood in for the U.S. President's vacation home. Fort Pike was the location for a climactic confrontation in Act III. A corner of City Park in New Orleans was used as a nighttime entryway into an underground lab. There, Windon played with a mixture of sodium vapor and tungsten light.
He says that the KODAK Film stocks — mostly KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219 in that situation — handled the mixed color temperatures well. "The (52)19 is my favorite stock. I love grading it, and seeing all the details it captures. I love big, hot practical lights and overexposure, and contrasting that with dark areas in the frame. And you can't break that stock. It's really cool. It loves all the color."
Windon and Chu leaned toward a cyan-to-cool color palette for the majority of the movie. The front-end lab was Cineworks in New Orleans. "There was a cyan-ish base in the dark areas and the blacks," notes Windon. "We kept that in mind with the lighting and also with the color timing at Company 3 with Stefan Sonnenfeld. That was fun."
Lenses were generally medium-wide, with the 27mm and 21mm getting heavy use. "That opened up the background, and Jon really loved that," says Windon. "He had not worked with the wide, 2.40 frame before, and he really embraced it."
Windon also made use of a daylight-balanced stock, KODAK VISION3 50D Color Negative Film 5203. Prior to G.I. Joe, his predilection in daylight situations was for shooting tungsten-balanced stock without a correction filter and adjusting in color correction. He says the result can be an appealingly gritty look. "But for this film, I wanted really fine grain, and that really clean crispness, especially for the beautiful sequences that take place in the Himalayas. I've used it on commercials, but this was the first time I've shot a feature with it. I really liked it, and Jon loved it."
One amazing sequence shows a number of ninja fighters hanging off the side of a Himalayan mountain, fighting each other while swinging and swooping from their mountain-climbing ropes. The sequences required weeks of rehearsal. The scenes were shot on the big stages against a green screen background. It was the most technically complex sequence of the 80-day shoot.
"Normally, I would prefer to shoot something like that outside and really fight with Mother Nature because that's what you'd have to do in a real environment," says Windon. "And that's the way I prefer to do daytime greenscreen. But because we were shooting in New Orleans, there's always the chance of hurricanes and bad weather, so we decided to do it indoors. I can't remember the number of 24Ks we had in this set, but there were many. The shots were so big that I was using a Russian arm on a pursuit camera car as the dolly. That was the most technically challenging part of the project."
Since he wrapped G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Windon has moved on to Fast and Furious 6 with director Justin Lin — also originating on 35 mm KODAK Film.

Detailed Description:
Celiac disease is genetically determined abnormal immune response to gluten, a component of wheat, rye and barley proteins that cause damage to the villous structure in the small bowel. The active disease is characterized by the induction of gluten-dependent autoantibodies to transglutaminase type-2, which are sensitive and specific non-invasive markers of gluten-sensitivity. Gluten-free diet normally leads to clearance of antibodies from serum in 6-12 months. Persistent seropositivity is a problem in patients who only incompletely exclude gluten or frequently transgress the diet. In such cases, damage of the small bowel may persist and complications may occur at higher frequency. The central hypothesis to be tested is that enzyme treatment designed to degrade a certain amount of gluten before absorption in the gastrointestinal tract will lead to a clinically meaningful decrease in auto-antibody levels in these patients.

When Josh Rupe broke camp with the Orioles, fans were in disbelief as to why Buck Showalter would stick this guy in his bullpen. Buck argued that they liked what they saw from Rupe in spring training, where he gave up just 2 ER in 14.2 innings pitched. But spring training is spring training--why value 14.2 innings of spring training more than the past 5 seasons of Rupe's career where he allowed a .380 OBP to opposing hitters over 637 plate appearances?
Now that fans are completely fed up with Rupe after allowing 8 ER in 9.1 IP, it's time to look for other options; or to a greater extent, the day when we will no longer have to see him in a Baltimore Orioles uniform. Troy Patton looks to be not only a candidate to replace Rupe, but also a nice option in the long run.
I have no doubts that Troy Patton is a better reliever than Rupe and it couldn't hurt to have a third lefty in the 'pen.
Unless the O's call up Patton, we'll probably have to live with Rupe until Brian Matusz is fully healthy. When Matusz returns Bergesen should slide to the bullpen and Rupe would likely be sent to Norfolk: where he needs to stay for good.

Re: Some of US Would Like The Price Quote Ban Rescinded
Anyway, to the point of this topic, I agree in part with Plumber. I'ld like to see a lift on the ban but only as far as it dosen't get out of hand. Like Curt, I too might be interested in buying something I don't need at the moment if the price is right, but I'm not going to email, or PM (don't even know how to do that) everybody that lists anything.
At one point in time, on this board, certian things were left to the descretion of the moderator(s). This might be one of those areas. If anybody gets too carried away they can always be nudged back into line like a good little ant or else stepped on and lose thier posting priviledges. Personally, I believe free trade is good for business and S&S might sell me some parts IF i got something to use them in (or on).

The Atomic Punx JR III is a sweet ski for the X Games winners of tomorrow.
The Atomic Punx JR III is a sweet ski for the X Games winners of tomorrow. Super maneuverable, the Punx JR III makes those tricks feel nice and easy: hit kickers with confidence, stay in control in the air and stick your landing - no sweat. A Cap Fiber construction also makes it light and tough. Exactly what you need when stepping up to the next level of rails and jibs.
A special flex zone in the binding area enables even the lightest kids to bend their skis and get strong contact with the snow. This makes initiating turns easier even with little power from little legs.
As the length of skis goes up, the dimensions and V-shape of the ski also changes - not just in ratio but specifically to match the skiing style of each age group.

WILLIAMSTOWN–The Rangers fell to Williamstown 13-7 this past weekend. Lake Region only gave up four hits in the contest, but eight walks, three hit batsmen, six wild pitches and four errors were the teams' undoing.
On the other side the boys in blue had a great offensive performance, getting thirteen hits, but they could not string enough together to get more than seven runs.
Standouts on offense for the Rangers were Darik Messier who tripled, had 2 doubles and a single, Matt Messier had a double and a single and Alex Menard had 3 singles.
Matt Messier took the loss in the contest.
Lake Region's Matt Morin was the top performer, shooting a tourney low 72 to Medal. Other LR scores were Devin Morley 113, Carl Oberg 111, and Derik Rodgers 120. For North Country Nick Kincaid shot a team low 80, good for fifth place overall, and Evan Clark came in at 113.
DERBY–Lake Region's tennis team picked up their first win of the season as they defeated Spaulding 6-1.
"The girls stayed focused and never let their nerves interfere with the chance to win their first match of the season," said coach Laura Laramee.
Every singles player picked up a win on Wednesday despite the threat of rain under ever darkening skies.
Kelly Leblanc won 8-7, Desirae Colorado 8-2, Miranda Beaudry 8-3, Cassie Desmarais 8-0 and Brianna Fontaine 8-0.
The lone loss came from the number one doubles pair, Shaylyn Beatton and Araceli Derbyshire, as they fell 8-5.
Lake Region's boys' golf team is playing quite well these days. Matt Morin picked up where he left off last year and was the Medalist in his last two meets. The first at the Country Club of Vermont where he shot a 39 and again Monday at the Orleans Country Club where he put up his lowest round of the season, a 33.
The team also got some reinforcements as they welcomed back Devin Morley during Monday's meet after he missed some time with a hand injury. In his first meet back he shot a respectable 46 for the Rangers.
Carl Oberg also shot his low round of the season on Monday with a 41.
NEWPORT–When a team is mired in a one win season they need someone or something to rally around.
For the North Country baseball team, that someone is pitcher Joel Lemarche.
Nicknamed "Sheldon" for his resemblance to the character played by Emmy award winning actor Jim Parsons on CBS' The Big Bang Theory, Lemarche came out and threw a masterful eight inning game for a shorthanded Falcon team on Monday against Champlain Valley.
Even though North Country lost the game 6-4 Lemarche's performance was topic of conversation after the game.
"It was a heck of a job," mused Tyler Sanville.
NEWPORT- The Falcons girls' tennis team played a doubleheader against U-32 on Monday, as part of a make-up from an early season cancellation.
Playing under "Pro-style" rules to speed up the game, the Falcons won the first match 5-2 and then finished off the Raiders 4-3 in the second.
"These matches were really important to us," said coach Marie George. "The victories gave us wins number three and four on the season, and we really needed them."
In singles play, Erin Connor defeated Rhiannon Rosamillia 8-4 for the Raiders' only singles win as the rest of the Falcons all won their matches.
NEWPORT–This one was not even close.
The Falcons scored sixteen runs on fourteen hits, six walks, two hit-by-ptches and eight wild pitches, defeating CVU 16-0.
"This was a big win. I feel it got our confidence up. Getting hits and laying down the bunts when I asked them to was key," said coach Leslie Dunn. "Defensively we didn't make any mistakes and we looked really good."
North Country got off to an interesting start, as Maddie Mosher scored the game's first run without the benefit of a hit.
NEWPORT–The North Country girls' golf team hosted the 28th Annual North Country Invitational on Monday. It was orginally posted as the 25th, but was actually the 28th.
31 girls competed in the 18 hole tournament with 11 school sending players. On a day that had rain and possible thunderstorms predicted, it turned out to be a fantastic day for golf. Teeing off at noon, the tournament was completed in 4 1/2 hours, a good pace. Â Team scores are determined by the best total of two players (details below).
ORLEANS–The Lake Region softball team rallied in the first to tie the game, the bottom of the sixth, which eventually forced extra innings, the eighth to push the game to the ninth, but in the bottom of the ninth they could not come up with enough runs to force a tenth as they lost a well played game to the Peoples Academy Wolves on Prom Saturday.
"We kept coming back and coming back. Even though we lost, I think it bodes well for us," coach Matt Tinker said after the game.
The Lady Rangers battled all game long, and it started in the first.
NEWPORT/MIDDLEBURY–If you looked at all of the records of the spring teams from North Country, the one that stands out is that of the Falcons boys' tennis crew.
The boys have not lost a match in over a month, currently have a 6-1-1 record and are ranked in the top third of all Division I teams.
"The team likens itself to a junk yard dog," said coach Gary Atchinson. "We have no real big shotmakers. We work our points and I would say we are a real lunch pail, blue collar team."
Starting the weekend at 4-1-1, the boys won back-to-back matches on Friday and Saturday to improve their record.

When I was a prospective student I went from website to website and toured many colleges. When I took my tour of the NIU College of Business I saw the campus, I saw Barsema Hall, and I spoke with faculty but the thing that stood out most to me was undoubtedly the Experiential Learning Center. As defined by the college, the Experiential Learning Center connects teams of NIU students with organizations to tackle real-world business issues. From software evaluation to emerging market analysis projects, students serve as consultants addressing non-mission critical, cross functional business issues. The program is also competitive entry, which was highly attractive to me as well. When they say they only take the best of the best students from the undergraduate and graduate level, that is a program that I definitely want to involved with.
Each project lasts 16 weeks and spans across an entire semester. Students are given the chance to apply for projects of their choice and they may apply for as many projects as they are interested in, there is no limit! Once they've submitted their applications, the faculty coaches will select who they want to interview for their respective projects. If all goes well and the student is a fit for the project, they will be invited to join an Experiential Learning Center Team.
I applied for every single project in the fall of 2011. I was so anxious and wanted nothing more than the opportunity to get involved. I interviewed with 5 of the 8 project leaders and thankfully, after a few days of nail biting, I was selected to join a project for spring 2012.
I got so much out of my experience. Over the 16 week period I earned real world experience. I felt as though I was an employee of my client company and I communicated on almost a daily basis with executives at said company which was the 15th largest private U.S. company at the time. Every week I would manage conference calls with my client by making agendas, working through action items and project planning schedules. I created a professional survey from scratch with the assistance of faculty advisors and marketed the survey to earn intelligible data for our final recommendations. I learned how to be a leader since we were asked to lead student meetings in a rotation. With over 15 hours of work going into the project each week, I was forced to manage my time and learn how to delegate and prioritize to meet deadlines. At the close of our project, we compiled a final report which led to the eventual acceptance and implementation of our 7 step recommendation. I learned how to control and leverage time in a meeting, and I learned more about business communications than I did in some classes! I honed my presentation skills and built confidence after presenting to countless VP's, Presidents, and other C-level executives at our final client meeting.
Nick LoVetere, our previous student blogger wrote the following in one of his final posts from the spring 2012 semester.
"If I had even just one more year in college there are some things I would do that I wasn't able. I was recruited to be part of the Experiential Learning Center but due to scheduling and the academic path I chose, far too many people said it was too much work to handle (and I'm the kind of person who takes on everything, so it says a lot when you're told more than once not to do it). One more year, and I would be the first to apply and tell every faculty coach why I should be on their consulting project."
Don't miss this opportunity! The deadline to apply is only days away! You may browse projects at http://www.cob.niu.edu/elc/projects.asp and once you're ready to dive in and take the plunge visit https://applyelc.niu.edu/login/?next=/menu/ to apply.

Buzz: Are The Rangers The Leaders For Justin Schultz?
Rangers will be main competition for everybody on Schultz because he played with McDonagh and Stepan at U of Wisc.
— Jim Matheson (@NHLbyMatty) June 14, 2012
Matheson has mentioned the Rangers strong chances in Schultz since early April.
It is believed that Schultz wants to be guaranteed a spot on the NHL roster to start the season.
For everything on Justin Schultz including rumors, notes, scouting reports and video, CLICK HERE.
Adam Rotter: It certainly doesn't hurt the Rangers that they have Stepan and McDonagh, but they aren't the only team that has former teammates of his. Detroit has Brendan Smith and Toronto has Jake Gardiner. Craig Smith is in Nashville and Blake Geoffrion is in Montreal. The money is going to be the same anywhere, so it will be up to Schultz to decide which situation he wants to put himself in.

Haven't been participating much, been slammed, apologies, but had to share...
What you see is, from what I can tell, a Royal Blue 1997 CE24 with a 3-piece top. It's coded as a "CE3RBT O-STOCK." I found a thread on TGP where Hans posted a pic of a PRS CE print ad/catalog indicating that there was indeed a 3-piece 10-Top option available. This one does not have a 10 stamped on the back of the headstock, and from the (very) busy cavity shots it is an "o-stock." Overstock? I have head of the stamped "B" for artist relations guitar, but curious if that's the same thing?
Cool top! Wicked flame! But can't say as I care much for the previous owner's modification of "bumpy chrome knobs"
Check out that fade, original color under pup rings...
VERY busy neck pickup cavity - WTF does this all mean???
Another hint at the original color:
Other than the photo of the yellow one on TGP, I have not seen another 3-piece top CE, and 10-Top or not, it's mesmerizingly beautiful in a slightly hideous way.
Not alot of experience with mid-90s PRSi but pups are VB/HFS with black/gold stickers, pots and all else look original. Sounds pretty killer, all of my other CEs are alder or alder/MT this definitely has a different sound. Neck is nice, feels a little more beefy than the older WTs but still lovely.
Any facts or opinions are most welcome...thanks.
