POTSDAM - The Massena Central varsity girls lacrosse completed its recovery from its first loss in four years by handing Potsdam Central its first NAC setback of the season on Thursday at the Potsdam turf field.
For whatever reason, we didnt come ready to play against Potsdam the first time. We were a completely different team today, said coach Jeffrey Slack after the Lady Raiders steadily pulled away to a 15-5 decision over the previously unbeaten Lady Sandstoners in a late-season matchup of NAC regular season title contenders that ended with the teams tied atop the standings at 8-1.
I was very happy with the way we played. From our goaltending and defense to our midfield and attack, it was a total team effort. I thought our defense really stepped it up today, he added.
The teams traded leads through the first half which ended with the Lady Raiders erasing a 4-3 deficit with two straight goals to go ahead 5-4 heading into halftime.
Massena carried the momentum of the late goals into the second half with six straight goals over the first 10:17 in building an 11-4 lead.
Nettie Rishe ended the Lady Raider scoring run when she broke through for her third of the game with 12:14 remaining only to have Massena counter with the final four goals.
You have to give them credit. They really stepped up their game today, especially in the second half, noted Potsdam coach Sarah Bullard. Our season isnt over just because of this loss. We have a lot of lacrosse left to play and hopefully well see Massena again in the playoffs. Id like to see us use this game as motivation.
The senior duo Erin Francis and Alisha Jacobs combined to do the majority of the offensive damage in Thursdays win. Francis finished with four goals and four assists while Jacobs broke through for six goals and an assist. Shannon Casey contributed two goals and an assist toward the winning effort while Dominque Valancius, Abby LaClair and Carlie Leary connected for the other goals.
Ally Miller closed out the Potsdam scoring with a pair of goals.
Annalee Beckstead made five saves working the Lady Raider crease for the win while Katelyn Bloom turned aside six of the shots she faced for the Lady Sandstoners.
Massena, now 9-2 overall, will be facing some strong non-league competition this weekend at the South Jefferson Tournament where they will open this afternoon against Central Square at 5 p.m. South Jeff and Manlius-Pebble Hill square off in the other first round game. Both the consolation and championship games are slated for Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
In other NAC girls lacrosse matchups on Thursday, Saranac Lake outscored Heuvelton 13-7 while Salmon River hosted Canton.
Saranac Lake 13, Heuvelton 7: Elena Bendict scored five goals, Kylie Sappon tallied three goals and Kaleigh Woodruff posted two goals lifting Saranac Lake past Heuvelton. Katie Sullivan had 12 saves.
For Heuvelton, Jackie Sovie scored four goals and drew an assist while Olivia St. Pierre had three goals and Heather Thompson made eight stops.

Moon Meteor front light £49.99
A cracking little light that punches well above its weight and price
Weight 65g Contact www.raleigh.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
The Moon Meteor front light might only have half the output of the Moon XP500 we reviewed recently, but it punches well above its weight and costs half as much.
First impressions are that this is a very smart little light. It's dinky wee but looks purposeful and business-like. According to Moon it will kick out 200 lumens for 1 hour and 50 minutes, which is quite impressive for such a small unit.
Recharging is via a USB port on the back. The cover is a basic rubber plug, very similar to the one on the Moon Shield rear light I tested last year. I had my misgivings about how robust it would be, but after a year of my hamfisted abuse it is still attached to the light. It also seals the port quite effectively from water. A full recharge from my desk PC took about two hours.
I like rubber straps for light brackets, but the one Moon uses is particularly good. It feels robust, I never had a problem fitting it to my bars and the light is small enough that the strap easily keeps it in place. The bracket also allows some rotation, via a series of pre-set clicks. If you're trying to compensate for a very slightly angled handlebar then you might struggle to get an ideal setting but most people will have no problem. You also get a helmet mount included in the price and I suspect that our muddy tyred chums will find this is a great little supplementary light for off-road excursions.
Where the Meteor really scores is in the way it uses its 200 lumen output. As a test I stood in the garden and fired up both the Meteor and the XP500. Although there's a 300 (count 'em) lumen difference I swear the Meteor was no less bright, it just has a narrower spread of light. On the road that translates as a wide and well diffused patch of light to ride by but with enough spill that the sides of the road are sufficiently well lit. It's a very reassuring light, unlike the Niterider Mako 200 (review on the way) which has the same claimed output but a very narrow central spot (dimmer than the Meteor) and no peripheral light. You wouldn't want to be tackling full-speed twisty descents or gnarly off-road trails with it, but pitch black Devon lanes were no problem at all. For a sub-£50 light it's really very good indeed.
With such a small light you wouldn't expect a huge runtime and the 1:50 on full is respectable rather than amazing. It's more than enough for most commutes though and the lower settings will do you just fine for anything less than unlit lanes. There is a useful gauge on the back of the light which gives you a good idea how much juice there is left. I bench-tested the light and got a green light after 35 minutes, a flashing red after 75 and off after 108. Mind you, on the commute home the green seemed to come on quite a bit quicker than that, so temperature might affect this light more than most.
The optics are not the only smart feature of this light. Unlike the XP500, the Meteor doesn't cycle through 'off' as you switch through the settings, one of my personal bugbears with any light. Not only that, the Meteor is clever enough to switch on in two different modes. Short press for Overdrive, High and Standard, long press for the flashing modes (Flashing, Insanely Horrible Strobe That Should Be Illegal and SOS) each one communicated by a little illuminated icon on the top. For a very modestly priced light, it's rather good and makes the much more expensive XP500 look a bit old-fashioned.
Are there any downsides to the Meteor? Well, I didn't like the button much. It's quite flat and has a stiff, but hard to locate action even with bare hands. In the dark and with gloves on it's a pain, although I tended to run the light in Overdrive at all times. If I was switching between settings during the course of the ride I'd probably be cursing though. There is no side illumination at all which might bother some people, but on a light like this I wouldn't be too critical.
Overall I really, really liked this light. It's surprisingly powerful, cheap, intelligently thought out ('orrid button aside) and very nice to ride with.
A cracking little light that punches well above its weight and price.
road.cc test report
Make and model: Moon Meteor front light
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the light is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Moon are coy and don't say much. I would say that it's probably aimed at commuters who want a bit more power than a 'be seen' light but aren't fussed about huge run-times or enough power to fry an egg at fifty paces.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the light?
- *1 pc CREE XT-E (R5) high brightness Led
- *Rechargeable lithium polymer battery( 3.7V 1200mAh)
- *USB rechargeable
- *Water resistant headlight with durable aluminum alloy light cap
- *6 modes : Over drive / High / Standard / Flashing / Strobe / SOS
- *Quick release handlebar mount (fits 22-31.8mm)
- *Quick release helmet mount
- *Low battery, charging and fully charged indicator
- *6 modes indicator
- *Automatic fully charged cut-off system
- *High precision optical lens
Feels sturdy and robust.
Gains points for the smart two-mode operation but loses points for the button, which is small, stiff, unlit and very hard to operate in gloves.
Moon's version of the rubbery strap works better than most and the light is small enough not to move about.
Passed the garden sprinkler test.
1:50 on full isn't massive, but this is a commuter+ light, not one for all-night off-road excursions or audaxes. It's also cheap and very small. USB and short recharge time makes it a practical commuter option.
Really makes the most of its 200 lumens. This is an excellent light for the price and size.
Robust construction but the battery can't be replaced, which is a shame.
A nice choice for the weight-weenies.
Excellent value at under £50.
Tell us how the light performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Very good.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the light
Smart optics make the most of the light on offer and smart electronics keep you well informed about battery life.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the light
Small button is hard to locate and operate.
Did you enjoy using the light? Yes.
Would you consider buying the light? Yes.
Would you recommend the light to a friend? Yes.
Anything further to say about the light in conclusion?
A really excellent light for the money.
About the tester
Age: 42
I usually ride: Kona Dew Drop, Dawes Century SE, Carlton Corsa My best bike is: Guess SC1 scandium
I've been riding for: Over 20 years I ride: Most days I would class myself as: Experienced
I regularly do the following types of riding: time trialling, commuting, general fitness riding, fixed/singlespeed, Audax and long distance solo rides
These really are very good lights for the money. Usually I'm a complete brand snob and I've always favoured the more expensive (and equally better performance) Light & Motion lights, but I got given an XP300 as a gift last Christmas and so far it's been excellent.
I'm still going to sell it and get a L&M in the new year though

Excellent light but beware - if you break the bracket (as I did when in the process of crashing my bike) it is impossible to get a new one. Raleigh (UK distributors) couldn't help and suggested I try eBay, Moon in Hong Kong told me to try Raleigh.
UPDATE: The brackets definitely exist, Moon have them on their website. A very nice man at Raleigh sent me one out free of charge so I'm happy with that.

Agree that the Moon Meteor is a great light. Bright, good price and lightweight.
I've also had trouble with mine. After 11 months, something's gone wrong with the battery. After I charge it up, then switch it on, the red low battery indicator flashes. It doesn't last long after that so it's definitely a battery problem and not an indicator problem.
The light has a 1 year warranty but not on the battery. That only has a 120 day warranty. The battery can't be replaced which seems rather stupid.
I ended up having to buy a new one. The new Meteors have fewer flashing modes too and the blue indicator on top doesn't actually tell you which mode you're in.

The Price American Legion team opened their season with a double header at home against Rock Springs, Wyo. on Sunday afternoon. The outcome was almost as dreary as the weather with Rock Springs beating Price 13-2 and 5-3.
Joe McKinnon took the mound for the hometown boys and pitched five innings for the loss. McKinnon did drive in the only two runs for Price. Johnathan Garcia and Tyson Damron also posted base hits for the team.
Damron went five innings on the mound in game two before being relieved by Garcia. Damron gave up three runs for the loss. Marcus Montoya hit a two RBI double in the 4th inning. In the 6th , McKinnon drove in Nico Velazquez for the final run for Price.

Movement as in strafe and rocket jumping?
I have tried strafe jumping and watched tutorials and stuff but I only can get up to about 430 ups which I am guessing is pretty bad.
drunk member of drunk clan obviously drunk, lacking any accuracy
I suggest this guide for team games, CA included!
I am trying and I am only reaching about 430 UPS on the speedometer. Where on the screen should your mouse be? the middle? Whenever i land i also lose about 50 ups of speed. What is happening?

Foes urge no on water permits for Tusayan resort
FLAGSTAFF — An array of groups is urging state regulators to deny water permits needed for a major resort, commercial and residential development at the small community at the entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim.
The Italian holding company that wants the Arizona Corporation Commission to approve plans to drill wells to supply the development recently asked for a delay. The Stilo Group says it is trying to address the concerns of a variety of groups and working to get access to federal lands it needs for the project.
The Arizona Daily Sun reports the project was approved by the Tusayan Town Council in October 2011.
But the plans for water wells are opposed by the Havasupai Tribe, the Grand Canyon National Park's superintendent and the Sierra Club.

San Francisco is the city where most of the people have the Apple's unlocked iPhone4. But now it is becoming challenging for the aesthetics based cellular antennas mainly because of the new proposal which is placed at the Planning Commission.
S.F. Examiner stated that the newly proposed rules and regulations will ban the utility poles which are new and used only for antennas. According to the rules and regulations, you can install mini antennas but cell phone manufacturers will have to get permission before they fix any equipment on public property.
San Francisco already has many complaints regarding the network coverage of the Apple iPhone and it seems that this proposal won't help much to improve it! Though AT&T, who sees after the network coverage, did whatever they could to provide a better coverage but the government in San Francisco didn't give an approval.
We don't want San Francisco to lose its beauty due to the wild run of the cell phone manufacturers. But there must be a solution to solve the coverage problem without destroying the beauty of the city. It is so easy to make a statement that AT&T is not doing anything which they must do to improve the Apple iPhone coverage. But boy who said they haven't done anything yet? It would be better to recommend a solution rather than criticizing them with all your energy.
If you do want a better technology for your Apple iPhone4 unlocked handset then do give a call to your local agent and ask him to install new towers and for that you need to get some time out of your busy schedule.
To get rid of the problem, you'll have to be active. Show your responsibility, stop being lazy, pay heed to the complicated situation where you are in and bring out a solution.

Most excellent question.
If it doesnt exist yet, can we add support for it?
Can we include graphic screenshots when writing PETs? Does WiKi allow that?
Most excellent question.
If it doesnt exist yet, can we add support for it?
For external images, it's simply a matter of providing the URL to the image.
For arrangemetn of the images, I think you need to do wiki table magic
No, not external image links.
Currently what wiki will do is written pages in texts only. Sometimes, it's hard to express something but easier to show with screenshots (an image is worth a thousand words?). That's what I was wondering.
But then again I don't think Peter is willing to host graphic files since he is most worried about overloading link and those dial up users who uses slower links. Oh well, I guess those can be hosted elsewhere and point a link from WiKi.
Wiki can do the locally hosted image too, but as you said, it takes disk space and bandwidth for slower connections.
I'd consider it. Images can be an essential part of a tutorial.
Mediawiki images are stored as part of the file system, not in the DB. So there shouldn't be a significant performance hit on the co-hosted forum DB.
What image size do you think would be a good maximum? 100K for a 256 color GIF screen shot?
You can set whatever is best for now. If we need larger size, then we can talk about that later. I think a good use of images can be very constructive.
Wiki image uploads up to 50K have been enabled. In some cases it may not be enough for an entire screen shot, but should be OK for showing a set of menus.
Here is a mediawiki tutorial on image usage.
Comments welcome.
Nice, can't wait to try

This collaboration between BUFFY vets Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon has been in the works for years, shelved due to MGM's financial difficulties despite rave reviews. And now you can finally see it! The film is an utterly original take on the horror genre, wickedly subverting all expectations and blowing away crowds at film festivals. Yes, a group of remarkably attractive young people go to a cabin in the woods, and you've probably seen that before - but you cannot possibly anticipate where this dark, chilling, brilliant film will go next.
THE CABIN IN THE WOODS is an absolutely stunning blast, one of the most fun films I've seen this year and certain to become a monster classic. It's a movie that can be watched again and again, always bringing new surprises and delight. It's hands down one of the best films of the year, and it must be seen to be believed. (Meredith Borders)
"You'll feel like horror is revitalized, like its importance is more obvious than ever. That might be Cabin's greatest achievement, reminding us why we love and need this genre."--Devin Faraci, BADASS DIGEST
"The Cabin in the Woods is continually smart, funny and surprising, reflecting horror films back at themselves in new and exciting ways."--Eric Goldman, IGN MOVIES
"Cabin in the Woods is witty, scary and incredibly inventive. This is a must-see genre bending horror movie - miss it at your peril."--Simon Reynolds, DIGITAL SPY

Thinking Beyond The Birkin: Meet The New Crop of Status Bags
- 1 of 19
As a result, we've noted an uptick of status bags (or "It" bags as they were known in those heady, pre-recession days) on designer boutique shelves. Although more understated and sedate than their blinged-out early aught's counterparts, they share the same marks of exclusivity —i.e. a celebrity fan base, a waiting list, and a price tag that rivals that of a used Toyota Tercel. Curious to meet these new kings of the retail jungle? Read on.
- 2 of 19
The Bag: Chloe Baylee
The Scoop: Any bag that includes a detachable chain you can wear as a bracelet is aces in our book. Although Creative Director Clare Waight Keller describes the tote as "simple" and "chic", there's still plenty details to catch the eye, including the two-tone body and sturdy gold hardware.
Celebrity Fans: Rihanna (pictured), Kate Bosworth, January Jones.
Available In: Sizes medium and small; smooth calfskin, perforated leather, ostrich. For full range of color options, see website.
- 3 of 19
Baylee Large Shoulder Bag ($2250) in Gray/Black
- 4 of 19
The Bag: Stella McCartney Beckett
The Scoop: At last, global-warming activists have a designer handbag in step with their politics. McCartney developed a new material, Eco Faux Leather, which uses vegetable oil instead of petroleum oil for the new design, which bowed this season. And, as with all Stella McCartney designs, the bag is free of animal products (i.e. leather) so it's a win for vegans and PETA supporters, too.
Celebrity Fans: Gwen Stefani (pictured), Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway, Selma Hayek.
Available In: Sizes large and small; envelope clutch, shoulder bag, and shopper bag versions. See website for range of color options.
- 5 of 19
Stella McCartney
Beckett Clutch ($770) in Ivory
- 6 of 19
The Bag: Kenzo Kalifornia
The Scoop: As a key part of the Parisian label's expansion into the accessories market, it was important to get this quirky-cool bag just right. To that end, designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim road-tested the prototype —literally— with a two-week car trip last spring that resulted in tweaks to make the final version more durable and spill-proof.
Celebrity Fans: Jessica Alba (pictured), Rashida Jones, Susie Bubble.
Available In: Red, black, and blue/white.
- 7 of 19
Kalifornia Bag ($1,190) in Black
- 8 of 19
The Bag: Mansur Gavriel Bucket
The Scoop: The name on every accessories editor's lips this past season? Mansur Gavriel. The new leather goods line forgoes flashy hardware in favor of clean lines, quality Italian leather, and just the right pop of color. While all the designs enjoy hit status, the bucket bag is the real blockbuster of the group — you'd have better luck chatting up Big Foot than tracking one down.
Celebrity Fans: Kirsten Dunst (pictured), Emma Watson, Who What Wear Fashion Director Laurie Trott.
Available In: Cammello, brandy, and black with an assortment of interior colored resin coatings (see website for full range).
- 9 of 19
Mansur Gavriel
Bucket Bag ($495) in Camello, available for preorder
- 10 of 19
The Bag: Givenchy Antigona
The Scoop: Unlike the other bags on this list, the Antigona didn't make its debut this year. Still, as a constant on the wrists of every A-lister from Beyonce to Madonna, we'd be remiss not to include the sleek and structured tote.
Celebrity Fans: Rosie Huntington-Whitely (pictured), Charlize Theron, Sharon Stone.
Available In: Sizes medium and small; satchel and large shopper. See website for full range of colors and materials.
- 11 of 19
Antigona Shiny Lord Bag ($2125) in Black
- 12 of 19
The Bag: Louis Vuitton Vivienne
The Scoop: Louis Vuitton's newest bag is a versatile little number that's consists of several organizational compartments and can be worn over the shoulder or on the arm. It also comes in a logo-free version for those who'd prefer to fly under the designer radar.
Celebrity Fans: Miranda Kerr (pictured), Alexa Chung, Emma Watson.
Available In: Satchel, long wallet, compact wallet, and with charm handle. For full range of colors, see website.
- 13 of 19
Louis Vuitton
Vivienne Bag ($4,150) in Black, sold out online
- 14 of 19
The Bag: Saint Laurent Sac de Jour
The Scoop: Though it bears a faint resemblance to a certain Hermes classic, Saint Laurent's Sac de Jour (or "bag of the day") is the anti-It bag with its discreet logo and minimalist details. Designed by Hedi Slimane, the bag debuted this fall but will be part of Saint Laurent's permanent collection. (Good news for those who need some time to save up.)
Celebrity Fans: Kate Moss (pictured), Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie, Jessica Biel, Reese Witherspoon.
Available In: Sizes small and large; red, black, navy blue, royal blue, and powder.
- 15 of 19
Saint Laurent
Sac De Jour Small Carryall Bag ($2550) in Beige
- 16 of 19
The Bag: Coach Borough
The Scoop: Inspired by New York's five boroughs, the bag was a hit practically as soon as it hit shelves this fall thanks to its sleek design and accessible price tag.
Celebrity Fans: Sarah Jessica Parker (pictured), Lea Michele, Freida Pinto, Karlie Kloss, Drew Barrymore, Poppy Delevingne.
Available In: Sizes large, medium, and mini; retro, polished calfskin, and pebbled leather finishes. For full range of color options, see website.
- 17 of 19
The Borough Bag in Pebbled Leather ($548) in Green
- 18 of 19
The Bag: Chanel No.5 Plexiglass Evening Bag
The Scoop: Introduced with the label's the Resort 14 collection, the clear, plexiglass bag takes its design cues from the label's most iconic fragrance bottle. "I never thought to use the No.5 bottle for handbags," explained designer Karl Lagerfeld to Vogue.com. "I think it's cute."
Celebrity Fans: Alexa Chung (pictured), Miroslava Duma.
Available In: Clear and black.
- 19 of 19
No. 5 Transparent Plexiglass Evening Bag ($9,500), avaliable in-store

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
**Course materials will be emailed to you after registration.

Another "Off the Grid" sighting
And here it is ... being shown off by Sarah's lovely assistant!:
Isn't it great?
All pics are from Sarah's blog. You can read more about Sarah's quilt on her post about it here.
Thanks, Sarah! Does anyone else want to share?

I love the colors! I made one, see pics here: http://sdmikke.blogspot.com/2010/03/stroller-blankie.comReplyDelete

Maintained by Jon H.
Site originally by David Winterbottom (user root).
Problem: I wanted to backup user data individually. In this example, all user data is located in "/mnt/storage/profiles", and about 25 folders inside, each with a username ( /mnt/storage/profiles/mike; /mnt/storage/profiles/lucy ...)
I need each individual folder backed up, not the whole "/mnt/storage/profiles". So, using find while excluding directories depth and creating two variables (tarfile=username & desdir=destination), tar will create a .tgz file for each folder, resulting in a "mike_full.tgz" and "lucy_full.tgz".
Access www.kernel.org and download the last stable linux kernel release.
should do the same as command #12875, just shorter.
tars the current directory (and its children) in an archive of the same name (plus ".tar" :)) in the parent directory without the absolute path, so that when the archive is extracted, only the current directory name is created for the path. Assumes bash/zsh.
use -xcvf to decompress
This command is for UNIX OSes that have plain vanilla System V UNIX commands instead of their more functional GNU counterparts, such as IBM AIX.
Remove the "echo" to actually archive.
Many similar commands are found on commandlinefu but I end up needing this very specific one from time to time.
To extract any of them, use the standard tar.bz2 extract command:
tar xvjf folder1.tar.bz2
Back up /etc directory with a name based on the current date and the hostname of the machine, then chown the file for the current user for use.
NOTE: When doing these commands when asked for questions there might be flowing text from the pv doing the progress bar just continue typing as if its not there, close your eyes if it helps, there might be a yes or no question, type "yes" and ENTER to it, and also it will ask for a password, just put in your password and ENTER
I talk alot more about this and alot of other variations of this command on my site:
Do above at the Destination aka The Server.
Do the following at the Source aka The Client:
tar -cf - /srcfolder | pv | nc www.home.com 50002
If you want ETAs and stuff:
tar -cf - /srcfolder | pv -s `du -sb /srcfolder | awk '{print $1}'` | nc www.home.com 50002
If you dont care about progress bars @ server/destination:
tar -cf - /srcfolder | pv | nc www.home.com 50002
If you dont care about progress bars @ client/source:
tar -cf - /srcfolder | pv -s `du -sb /srcfolder | awk '{print $1}'` | nc www.home.com 50002
I have this in alot better detail where there is more room to talk about it on my site:
is preserving creation time, modification time, permission, the directory structure, etc.
Decrypt with:
gpg -o- foo.tgz.gpg | tar zxvf -
Very similar as doing "wget http://example.com/mytarball|tar xzv", this one involves the "tee" command between both, which will simultaneously write the tarball and copy it to stdout. So this command will locally save the tarball and extract it - both at the same time while it downloads.
Create an AES256 encrypted and compressed tar archive.
User is prompted to enter the password.
Decrypt with:
openssl enc -d -aes256 -in <file> | tar --extract --file - --gzip
Tar's up $DIR locally (w/bzip2) and sends remotely to $HOST:$PORT where netcat listens (using openbsd netcat). Start up receiving side command first, then execute this.
Note: the tar archive must not exist in order to create it. If exists it will only be updated and no already existent files in present search will still remain in the tar archive. The update option has to be used instead of create because the command tar may be executed more than once depending on the number of arguments that find throws. You can see maximum number of arguments with 'getconf ARG_MAX'
If you want to exclude only one file or directory you should use as --exclude=file_or_directory
You can ran this also with cat for example:
tar zcvf - /folder/ | ssh email@example.com "cat > /dest/folder/file.tar.gz"
Or even run other command's:
tcpdump | ssh email@example.com "cat > /tmp/tcpdump.log"

First off, hope everyone who visits this website is doing well. Just got back from doing a presentation, an art festival, and a car show, with very positive results! Usually, when I do a presentation, I'm hiding behind a computer, showing people some of my tricks using Photoshop. This time, I actually had to look straight at an audience, and talk about myself. Not something that I'm very comfortable doing, but it was a great experience for me. The art show was a success as well. I met so many wonderful people, and sold a good number of pieces as well! The wind cooperated for a change, and a good time was had by all. The following week the longboard club that I belong to tied in with a car show in Huntington Beach, California. It was...

Hi all,
I need documents that about the PIC Programming on Unix Systems.. I can't find
an overall documents about this..
Thx.. I research these links...
Unfortunately, we don't have any way of knowing what you have already looked at and what not...
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
I would suggest buying a 8051 dock with a serial connection, if anything. As for software, you are pretty much on your own. I don't know exactly what you are planning to do with it, but if you are thinking about installing on a PIC and trying to run off it, use a Soekris system, and save the time. If you are thinking about writing your own embedded OS, I would just look at books like Embedded C, or anything dealing with 8051 programming (generally the same for any PIC).

Time is running out for Carbon and Emery county high school seniors to dial into Emery Telcom's 2003 student scholarships. The telecommunications company is accepting scholarship award applications through April 25 for Emery County, and May 9 for Carbon County.
"The scholarship money gave me a leg up," said Chris Meyers of Huntington. "it really helped with buying books and covering all the unexpected costs that come with starting a college career." Meyers received a $1,000 scholarship award last year and is currently attending the College of Eastern Utah.
"We want to help ensure the continuing viability of our local communities," said Greg Killpack, general manager of Emery Telcom. "I can't think of a better way to invest in the communities' future than to provide the leaders of tomorrow a better chance to further their education and pursue a successful career."
This year, Emery Telcom will give 11 scholarships to deserving students in Carbon and Emery Counties. Seven seniors from Emery County High School, one from Green River High School, two from Carbon High School and one from East Carbon High School will each receive an award of $1,000.
To qualify, graduating seniors will be required to provide proof of acceptance into a two- or four-year college, university, or state certified trade or technical school. Students must have a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher, and must complete an essay as specified in the scholarship application found at any high school or Emery Telcom office located in Carbon or Emery County
Emery Telcom established the scholarship fund in 1998 as part of its Education Initiative to support local students. Since then, Emery Telcom's education initiative has contributed as much as $40,000 per year to benefit local schools and students through a variety of programs. Other programs include academic excellence awards, positive action, general sponsorship as well as advertising and promotional support.

For Special K's latest "More Than a Number" campaign, the brand invited women to a jeans giveaway: The gimmick was that instead of a size number on the pants, labels bore various positive words ("fierce," "vivacious," etc.). A tape measure featuring those words in place of measurements helped women figure out which jeans to try. In a video, women talk about how they hate shopping for jeans, and Special K asks, "Why do we let the size of our jeans measure our worth?" The final message: "Let's rethink what defines us."
This effort is similar to a U.K. initiative from Special K that we wrote about last year, in which women weighed themselves and saw encouraging words rather than numbers. At the time, we noted a spate of other campaigns that aimed to make women more confident in themselves rather than inducing anxiety by promoting unattainable beauty standards. This year, Dove's hugely popular "Real Beauty Sketches" continued that theme.
New York City is now addressing the issue of body image and self-esteem with its Girls Project, which appears to be the first such campaign sponsored by a municipality, according to The New York Times. Bus and subway ads show smiling girls with the headline "I'm a girl. I'm beautiful the way I am" and lines like, "I'm funny, playful, daring, strong, curious, smart, brave, healthy, friendly and caring." The word "beautiful" has sparked some criticism—that the campaign should emphasize values other than beauty—although the website does better than the ads, explaining that the project aims to "help girls believe their value comes from their character, skills, and attributes—not appearance." Watch for more marketers to get behind this type of positive messaging, and expand it to include the male gender as well.

The doctor crowd has succeeded in scaring the American people away from salt. Heart doctors deserve much of the blame.
A health study reported in JAMA 11:305(17):1777-1785 found that people who ate the least amount of salt were the most likely to die from heart disease.
Hospitals don't advertise that they use very high-priced salt water IVs that they call "saline solution."
From AmJHypertens 01;14(7 Pt 1):653-659:
Restricting sodium (salt) intake causes insulin resistance (which leads to diabetes and heart disease). Restricting salt can promote diabetes and heart disease.
In fact, research studies have routinely found that sodium significantly improves insulin function. According to one study, "an abundant sodium intake may improve glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, especially in diabetic salt-sensitive, and/or medicated essential hypertensive subjects."
My family and I do not use refined salt from the grocery store. We use sea salt, which contains 17 minerals.

Yahweh is Dead!
There are other gods in the Christian tradition who are dead. They die and are reborn down through the ages. Now in our generation we have a different one. But with further reflection in future generations this god will be numbered among the other dead gods of the past. Why? Because cultures evolve and grow as they clash, just like morals do. I'm sure that as the western god clashes with the eastern god in the coming decades a new god will arise and the old ones will die.

20/20: A Look Back At Trader Mike's Trades
With the Tannenbaum era coming to an end in unsurprising fashion, Mike Vorkunov of The Star-Ledger took some time to review how well Trader Mike's aggressive trades have benefited the team. As to be expected, it's a mixed bag with the Jets missing out on some stars such as Jordy Nelson while hitting it big with homegrown talent such as Darrelle Revis and outsiders such as Antonio Cromartie. Vorkunov's piece is well worth the read as it gives us some perspective of all those draft picks that never were for the Jets.

CLAYTON This community has been sweet on a Valentines Day-related event since Thousand Islands Central High School music teacher Kathyrn Ingerson began the tradition in 1998.
It started out as a fundraising project and has turned into a huge community event that people on the river look forward to each year, she said.
The annual Valentines Day Dessert Theater and Silent Auction to benefit the high schools Select Vocal Ensemble is Wednesday, the evening before Valentines Day, in the schools auditorium. Mrs. Ingerson hopes to fill the auditorium to its capacity of 500. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. 45 minutes before the show for bidding, desserts and coffee.
The event consistently raises between $3,500 and $4,500 each year. Funds are used for the Vocal Ensemble to attend judged competitions. This year, the 20-member ensemble will attend Aprils Worldstrides Heritage Performance festival in New York City. The Thousand Islands Vocal Ensemble performs at Riverside Church in the Bronx during the festival.
Last year the Vocal Ensemble competed in two categories, mixed choir and womens choir, and won top gold honors in both groups.
I work them very hard, but in the end they appreciate the satisfaction that comes with it, Mrs. Ingerson said.
At the competitions, students focus on classical pieces. But the spotlight is on popular music at the annual Valentines Day Dessert Theater and Silent Auction.
Over the years, it has become bigger and better with a higher quality, Mrs. Ingerson said. The kids know what they are stepping into.
She said that when she began the tradition, she decided that it would have a pit band, made up of local professionals, and the students also would dance. The shows choreography is arranged by Eileen Hauck, who operates a dance studio in Clayton.
Mrs. Ingerson begins developing the program each September. Rehearsals, which include several Saturdays, begin in January.
This is one of the events that the kids look forward to the most each year, Mrs. Ingerson said. Its so different from anything else we do.
Desserts at the event are from local vendors. Silent auction items, ranging from artwork to gift cards from big-box stores, also come from the community, but in past years they also have included items like an iPod engraved by Yoko Ono, an item signed by humorist Dave Berry and NASCAR memorabilia.
This years musical highlights range from the 1962 hit Do You Love Me by the Contours; Sad Day by Daniel Powter; 21 Guns by Green Day; Aquarius by the 5th Dimension and the 1940s hit You Make Me Feel So Young. The pit band will perform two jazz numbers.
Mrs. Ingerson said the show also will include nostalgic twists that will take you back to some of your favorite TV shows from the 60s and 70s.
Theres something appealing for each age group, she said.

In the back of the special dictionaries is the longest word in the English language and each year Robertson has fun with the kinds while they try to pronounce it. The local Rotary Club also does the same thing in other counties in eastern and southern Utah that have no local Rotary Clubs in their areas.

Earth is experiencing an unprecedented warming period, according to a report published in the March 8 issue of Science Magazine. Researchers from Harvard University and Oregon State University studied 73 land-based and marine fossil and ice samples to construct a record of global surface temperatures for the last 11,300 years, concluding that today's temperatures are higher than most of that time period. Based on current trends, the report's authors predict potential record-breaking levels by the end of this century.
The article is making headlines, especially since it attributes the heat spike to human-caused global warming. The Wall Street Journal reported, "The study points to human activity as the cause, because the suddenness of the shift in temperature appears to be out of whack with long-term trends. CNN's Ben Brumfield opined, "It is a good indicator of just how fast man-made climate change has progressed." In comments on the research, The New York Times quoted Pennsylvania State University climatologist Michael Mann saying, "We and other living things can adapt to slower changes. It's the unprecedented speed with which we're changing the climate that is so worrisome."
However, these and other media sources ignore evidence to the contrary. Dr. David Whitehouse of the Global Warming Policy Foundation points out holes in this latest research and its conclusions. Whitehouse, former BBC Science Correspondent and former Science Editor of BBC News Online, disagrees that warming of the past few decades is unusual.

PARTNERS Research & Training Program in Cancer Disparities
The National Cancer Institute defines "cancer health disparities" as "differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of cancer and related adverse health conditions that exist among specific population groups in the United States. Complex interactions of biological, social, cultural, environmental, and behavioral factors affect disease incidence and mortality and contribute to cancer related health disparities. Eliminating these disparities requires a trained cadre of researchers, physicians, and public health professionals who are attuned to cultural and socio-economic issues that affect health care seeking and health care access, patient compliance, participation in clinical trials, and risk-reducing behaviors.
In response to this need, North Carolina Central University and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have formed the PARTNERS Training Program, funded by a U54 award from the National Cancer Institute.
The goals of the PARTNERS Program are:
1. To establish an effective cancer research infrastructure and program and increase training opportunities at a minority serving institution by increasing the number of undergraduate students who successfully pursue careers devoted to finding causes, cures, and prevention strategies for cancers that disproportionately affect minorities, particularly African Americans.
2. To enhance community and population-based research targeting minority cancer-related health disparities and increase training of minority scientists at an NCI-funded Comprehensive Cancer Center.

But if you aren't as tall as a giant, this USA-made saw's 46" ash handle lets you cut tree limbs up to 10 feet high without lugging a ladder around. The 19" cutting blade is curved for leverage and has 72 alternately offset, sharp 1/4" teeth. 45° angle hook shears saplings or clears debris. Weighs just 2 lbs. and has a lanyard hole for easy carrying. Or, if you DO have a half-acre T-bone lying around...

By TOM MCCOURTGuest Contributor
There has been an uproar the past week because a rodeo clown at the Missouri State fair wore an Obama mask while fighting bulls. To read the leftist blogs, it's like the clown committed blasphemy. There has been much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth among Obama supporters.
Blasphemy has never been a problem for most liberals. You might remember the crucifix in a bottle of human urine the enlightened lefties were so proud to have displayed in a museum in New York last September. The "art exhibit" was funded with your tax dollars through the National Endowment for the Arts. Christians were outraged, but president Obama refused to comment about it and we were reminded that artists have a first amendment right to "express themselves," even if others might be offended.
Well, the sacrilege is serious this time because it happened to liberals. A rodeo clown mocked their lord and savior, Barrack Obama. Heaven forbid. This time the irreverence is offensive and there are serious repercussions.
Bowing to pressure from "progressive" politicians, celebrities, cable news outlets, newspapers and "good Americans" everywhere, the state of Missouri has groveled and apologized. The clown has been fired and "banned for life" from ever performing at the state fair again. The rodeo announcer, who was also the president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboys Assn. has resigned and hired a lawyer because he's afraid he might lose his job as superintendent of schools. The rodeo clown has apologized on social media, and so far, the PRCA has failed to make a statement in his defense. Everyone is hiding.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and state fair officials have called on the Rodeo Cowboys Assn. to "hold those responsible for this offensive stunt accountable." The state is also "reviewing its contracts" with the Missouri Rodeo Cowboys Assn. and the stock contractor who hired the clown. The threats and intimidation are real.
Missouri Representative Steve Webb (D) said he was "incensed" by the incident. He said the stunt had "racial overtones" and people "shouldn't taunt our first black president." The NAACP has called for the secret service to investigate because, they say, the clown was inciting violence against the president by asking the audience if they'd like to see Obama run over by a bull, to which many in the audience clapped and cheered.
What happened to the rodeo clown's first amendment right to express himself? Making jokes about powerful people is what clowns do. I don't remember any of this outrage when comedians mercilessly mocked George Bush one and two, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, Dan Quale and others. As I recall, there was even a movie released about George Bush number two being assassinated; this while the man was still serving as president. The NAACP didn't complain about that. What is different this time?
Rodeo clowns are harmless beings. They are brave, athletic young men who put their lives on the line to rescue bull riders in trouble. As a sideline, they provide entertainment for the crowd. Rodeo clowns have made jokes about politicians, kings and presidents since the first public address systems were installed in rodeo arenas during the era of Will Rogers, back in the 1930s. Will Rogers, you might remember, was a famous cowboy comedian who made endless jokes about congress, the president, and the great depression.
If our current president is beyond criticism simply because he's black, as some powerful people claim, we have good reason to never vote for a black man again. If his race sets him above other presidents and insulates him from scrutiny, ridicule and accountability, our country is in bigger trouble than most of us know. People didn't dare make jokes about Chairman Mao, Hitler, Stalin, and North Korea's Dear Leader, either.
All of our previous presidents and the Queen of England have endured criticism, sarcasm, political satire and cruel jokes. It comes with the job. Which political system do we prefer?
Clowns will be clowns. Some just take themselves more seriously than others.
