From the Bookshelf: 1916 Simplex, Crane Model 5 handbook
My mother was rearranging the bookshelves in the den at home when she pulled out this 1916 Crane-Simplex Model 5 owner's handbook, which my father picked up at an auction many years ago. Being the family's car nutcase, the book came to me. I thought that it might be something fun to share.
The endpapers are inscribed with three names and addresses, presumably the book's previous caretakers. There's Joseph Petersen (Simplex Service, Long Island City, Phone 3707 Hunters Point) and F.H. Dunham (Simplex Automobile Co., Long Island City, N.Y., Phone 3707 Hunters Point), both dated 5-7-17, plus Harry Tompkins, Borden Ave, L.I.C.
This 94-page leathercloth-bound hardcover, sized roughly 9 x 6 inches, includes everything you need to know about your 1916 Simplex, Crane Model 5. Just 121 of these premium Model 5s were built that year, when the chassis alone cost $6,000, and a factory-bodied touring car cost $7,500; to put this in perspective, the average yearly salary in 1916 was $765, a steel-radiator Ford Model T touring car cost $360 and the median cost of a new home was $4,550! Car collector extraordinaire Jay Leno owns a special coachbuilt 1916 Simplex, Crane Model 5, which he shares in great detail on his website… watch it in action!
One of the neatest things about this book is its three fold-out illustration pages; one of these is torn, but the information is still intact.
The level of detail in the illustration is fantastic. Check out that chassis and its massive 564-cu.in. (9.2-liter!!), 110hp L-head inline-six engine.
The engine was cast in two pairs of three cylinders, typical practice for the time, while the transmission was a four-speed manual.
The third fold-out shows the car's wiring diagram, which is surprisingly complex (12 fuses!) for 1916.
Of course, everything your chauffeur will need to know to properly maintain your fine automobile is contained within. Words to live by: "Remember that nothing can be obtained by excessive racing of the motor."
And the warranty disclaimer reads pretty much exactly like that of a modern car.
Remaining Simplex Crane Model 5s don't trade hands often, but when they do, they command a good price.

Hi there,
We have an application developed in PHP. It will be deployed in intranet. My question is, Is it possible to deploye the PHP pages in a secure manner i.e., none of them should see the source code even the administrator of the server?
Is it possible or Any alternative suggestions ?
Thank you

Recap |
Final Stats |
USATSI Gallery
"We shot a lot of threes. And boy, a couple of them were halfway down. We talk about it all the time: some nights they're not there so you have to find other ways to manufacture points. So we definitely shot more free throws. I though we were cutting hard away from the ball in streaks pretty well. That got us to the line. It's one of those where they call averages averages for a reason. Because they take multiple scores and percentages and put them together and divide by the number of games, so the percentage we were shooting from three, you know there's going to be some games where that's not going to happen."
On difficulty finishing out the game:"They got hot and they earned it. They played hard. It wasn't coming easy. Our guys just kept banging at them, kept taking it inside. We didn't finish on some of the post moves in there, but still, look at the difference in the paint and points off turnovers. That's a good sign. The only way you're going to be on the left-hand side is if you have those kind of numbers when you're shooting the three the way we were."
On making Glover take a lot of jumpers:"We stat that all the time. That is more than anybody else has had against us—tough twos fading left and we made him go right. Then he cooled off a little bit. But you have to find something, make him do something different. I thought physically in post—on those two lobs that they got were on our guards—we could have gotten into them a little better like a defensive back in football. And having played that position, it's kind of instinctive to go into a guy, get the outside hand up and knock it away. But it's easier said than done. I thought they hurt us with two buckets there when they got it down inside single digits going over the top. We'll have to do a better job of that."
On happiness so far and what to expect when going down to Cancun:"Well whether happy or not, the team's going down the same way: bussing to Chicago and flying directly. Those were the six on the schedule. Three in a short burst here at the end. Record says what it is. We know Saint Louis is better. I pretty much thought that Saint Louis would do what they did tonight to Bowling Green. It's tough for these teams to travel where there's only one day in between. But Oral Roberts showed that maybe they were a little mentally fatigued. They're competitors, so when they look up at the scoreboard and see the score the way it is, it's like, 'Hey, there's not way these guys should be doing this to us.' And then they start playing. I'm sure coach Sutton would tell you the same thing. They were moving better. They were getting some better looks, better screens. Defensively they did some things to us to take away some of the stuff we were getting, so you have to give them credit for making the comeback the way it was. Couple stretches there where a couple of those threes go down, it's that feeling again. It's that little spacing that you can get on teams that maybe gets them to think twice about some shots or what they're doing. But they didn't go down so they were staying right with it. They didn't change their philosophy."
On how defense played:"I thought we played better on some things. They didn't get a lot of stuff going to the rim. They got a lot of pull-ups and then hit some threes after we helped a little too much. It's kind of early—you look at stats on [D.J.] Jackson and [Bobby] Word and you say, 'Well it's not that we were saying let them shoot threes.' But boy, once in the first half they hit a couple of them and I was like, 'We better stretch the defense a little bit.' And you stretch the defense and then attack dribble is a little more effective. And the post was a little more open. So you pick your poison and fortunately we held on long enough that the clock ran out and we were ahead."
UW Player Quotes
On the team's ability to win with in variety of different ways: Josh Gasser: "Shots aren't going to fall every game and it's nice to have a guy like Frank (Kaminsky) who you can get the ball to and can score it well. Sometimes when shots aren't falling, we'll just call a play and get him the ball in the post and make plays that way. The good way to score is to get to the free throw line, get the ball as close to the basket as you can and hope that he'll make a play and we've been pretty successful with that so far." Traevon Jackson: "This was a tough week. Thank god we got through the week. A long tough, tough week, but to see Frank (Kaminsky) really get in to his rhythm this week was huge. We need him. We needed that inside presence. To go forward from here, we can always shoot threes, we know we can all do that, but to see him really grow into his own down there has been huge, so that's been good."
On how Oral Roberts got back into the game in the second half: Gasser: "They're just a good team, you have to give them some credit. (Shawn) Glover made tough shots. He made some big plays for them and a guy like that is hard to stop when he's feeling it. Unfortunately, he got in to a little rhythm there and there's a few minutes where we made mistakes offensively and didn't get stuff going that way, but we were able to come out with a resilient win against a pretty darn good team in our third game this week so I'm pretty happy about that."
On what it's like to have Josh Gasser back on the floor this season: Jackson: "It's huge. Definitely another guy that can break down the defense. We know that Josh can get his shot off at any time. He's one of the best finishers I've ever played with, especially for a guard position. He rarely takes it in to the hole where it doesn't go in. It's amazing. Sometime it's just like there's no way the shot is going in and it's goes in all the time. So it's really good to see him come back and take strides."
Frank Kaminsky: "I think that Josh brings more leadership to this team. He's vocal out there. Even though he's vocal, he lets his play do the talking most of the time. He gets into the lane and finishes well, like Trae said, for a guard. It's great to have another player like that back on the floor." On hitting 6-of-6 free throws in the final minutes of the game and how confident the team is at the free throw line: Gasser: "Yeah, we're all good shooters and you've got to be tough minded at the end there. We all want to take the shot, so it helps having guys who are not only capable of doing it but also confident in their ability to do it. That's really good. I said to Ben (Brust) and Trae that as guards, we've got to call for the ball, be strong with it and once we get to the line, knock them down and we're all confident in our ability to do that. So it's definitely something once Big Ten season rolls around, there's going to be a lot of tight games, back-and-forth games at the end, so we have to make sure we're able to do that." Jackson: "I think it's more like a competition with us. We take advantage of it. We practice these things in practice so to see us come down to it in a game like, 'I want it, no I want it,' so when we get up there it's like, 'yeah I got 2-for-2, what'd you get.' So it's healthy competition though because at the end of the day we're getting better and why not get extra free throws in there."
On it being the second time in the Bo Ryan Era that the team has gone 6-0 and if they are happy where the team is at: Gasser: "It's great to be 6-0 , to start that way, but being happy, that's kind of a different thing because we know that we can play a lot better, especially on the defensive end. That's something that we definitely need to clean up. We're scoring pretty well, but we're giving teams too many easy looks. They're getting to the rim a little too easily, so we are obviously ecstatic that we are 6-0, but we've got some stuff to clean up and we're going to get back to work and hopefully get better."
Jackson: "A lot has been put on this week in terms of three games in five days, but at the end of the day, there are no excuses in terms of our defense. We know what we are capable of doing and we're playing against teams, once conference comes around and in these next upcoming non-conference games that we have to stop the ball regardless of how much we score. That's what we've got to hang our hats on if we want to accomplish the goals that we want to accomplish as a team."
Oral Roberts Head Coach Scott Sutton
Opening Statement:"I'm proud of our guys. Because when we got down 17 early in the game, it could have gone either way. It could have been a 30-, 40-point loss. I thought our guys really battled a lot and did a great job to get back in the game. And we put ourselves in position. You're down four points with two or three minutes left and we just needed to get a couple key stops and have some good offensive possessions and you never know what's going to happen.
Playing our first game without Obi [Emegano], our leading scorer, I really didn't know what to expect, so I was pleased that we fought. We shot the ball extremely well. Probably the biggest difference in the game was our turnovers. And Wisconsin is not a team that forces a lot of turnovers. We were rattled early and had some costly turnovers and then giving up 12 offensive rebounds—and they converted 15 second-chance opportunities and we only got two out of it. Those are probably the biggest keys in why we got beat or reasons why we got beat. I have so much respect for coach Ryan and he's a great, great coach. This has a chance to be really, really good and they'll be better next year."
On what to expect without leading scorer:"I think our guys got rattled. And Obi's (Emegano) not only our leading scorer, but he's our best defender, he's our leader. He has a great calming influence over our guys. We missed that. We missed it the other night against Saint Louis. It's a tie game with nine minutes left and we end up getting beat by 17 points. And that's kind of what happened tonight to start the game. We need to get off to, obviously, a much better start than we did. But again, you get down 17 to a great team in front of 16,000 fans and, I'm pretty proud of our guys to fight back like they did."
On Wisconsin's ability to score in a variety of ways:"I told our guys, 'They'll be the best offensive team we'll play all year.' To be able to have five weapons on the floor at all times that not only can shoot the ball, they can drive the ball, they're smart, they play well together and they're just very, very efficient. If you told me we would hold them to seven 3-pointers when they're averaging 10 per game and hold them to 30 percent, I'd say we did a heck of a job. But they can score in different ways like you said. They can drive the ball. I was really impressed with [Frank] Kaminsky. And even his backup that came in—those are good players. As they get better defensively, and believe me they'll get better defensively, this will be a team that has a chance to go a long ways in March."

The story of the week seems to be the drubbing that the Jazz gave the Miami Heat in Florida on Tuesday evening when the Pat Riley coached team scored the fourth lowest point total in NBA history. Low score of the past week right?
The low score of the last week, maybe of the whole season in these parts was the dump-them-on-their-heads and mop-the-floor-with-them beating that the Lady Vikings of East Carbon administered to the Wendover Wildcats last Friday night. The girls from the western desert town almost didn't manage double figures; for the game that is, not for a single player as they lost 56-10 to the girls from ECH.
In all fairness, they were missing three of their starters, but just the same East Carbon coach Ryan Hepworth didn't try to lay it on too thick either as he played everyone on the team trying to keep the score down.
Then on Tuesday night the team ventured into the west desert themselves to take on Tintic and they caved in the tunnel on the Lady Miners to the tune of 59-43.
Friday's game was one of those they should have cancelled after the first quarter, but who could have known that Wendover had left their shooting touch on the salt flats instead of bringing it with them. At the end of the first period the score was 17-0.
In the second quarter the Lady Wildcats were lucky enough to put five through so at least it wasn't a zip game in the whole first half. ECH went into the locker room with a commanding 35-5 lead.
In the second half the Lady Vikes tried to lay a little low and not embarrass their adversaries too bad, but players hungry for playing time are not prone to not scoring when they can.
In the end, 12 players on the ECH team scored, no one with really high numbers because they shared so much time, but each enough to bury the Wendover team way below the ground. Alaena Preston was the leading scorer for East Carbon with 12 points.
On Tuesday night the team played at Tintic and got off to a great start by taking the first quarter 15-11.
In the second quarter the Lady Vikes extended the lead even more behind the shooting of Preston and ended up with a 33-24 lead.
In the third quarter, East Carbon didn't score as much as they did in either of the first two periods of the game, but then they also held the Lady Miners to a game low eight points for the period.
By the fourth quarter it was apparent that the girls from Carbon County had established their presence and the game just slid on into the record books as they barely won the quarter 15-13, but took the game by a 16 point margin.
Once again Preston was the leading scorer with 22 points. Chelsey Timothy had 17.
The girls will now face Meridian School in Provo tonight (Thursday) and then will take some time off for the holidays. They will not play again until January 8 when they face Green River in an away non-league contest.

Let tell ya, It's been a rough at the plant today. I sit down on my throne and fire up Quack Live, in Mozilla. Everything's swell for the first few rounds of Instagib. I notice as I'm continuing to lose like normal everyone is under 100 ping, Yet I am shooting through most of them and at a distance players are still jumping around like they have lag spikes.
I tried putting my screen on Vsync and everything and was still experiencing the anomaly.
Basically instead of the smooth 60-125fps at a distance players were really jittery and jumping around like they were lag spikes and I was shooting through them.
I clicked and I clicked and I couldn't lay them to rest and they just beat me down, round after round. I sat there in the pool of my own sweat and swollen nubs, swollen nubs.

(KNSD) -People today hold the steering wheel of their car in all sorts of positions.
We've been told to think of that wheel as a clock and hold our hand at 10 and 2, but what feels natural is now considered old school and in fact it's considered dangerous.
You see, it's all about the airbag, an airbag that can deploy at more than 200 miles an hour.
"When that airbag deploys, because it goes up and out, it's going to send your hands and your arms into your face," said Michael Hoshaw of the Auto Club of California.
And that can cause all sorts of serious injuries.
So the Auto Club, the Traffic Safety Administration and others are now saying to hold the wheel in a 9-3 position on the outside of the airbag.
One more piece of advice from safety experts is that you're no longer supposed to cross your arms when you turn the wheel.
They say, once again, that you leave yourself vulnerable if the airbag deployed and sent your arms into your head.

Arugula Salad with Feta and Fresh Tomato-Balsamic Vinaigrette
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
5 oz. package baby arugula (I love Earthbound Farms baby arugula)
2-3 oz. crumbled Feta cheese
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing Ingredients:
(this is about twice as much as needed for the salad, but it's good on lots of things)
1 cup diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
3 T good quality balsamic vinegar
5 T extra virgin olive oil
While arugula is soaking, cut enough cherry tomatoes or tomatoes to make 1 cup. Put tomatoes into bowl of immersion blender (or container of blender), add 3 T balsamic vinegar, and blend until tomatoes are completely pureed. Pour tomato/balsamic mixture into a small bowl and whisk in 5 T olive oil, a little at a time until dressing is well emulsified.
To serve, put arugula into large plastic bowl and toss with about 1/4 C of the dressing. Arrange arugula on four individual serving plates. Sprinkle desired amount of feta cheese over each salad, then drizzle about 1 T more dressing over each salad. Grind black pepper over and serve.

An estimated crowd of 1,250 fans watched Saturday afternoon as Lipscomb's Lady Bisons battled the No.9-ranked Lady Vols from the University of Tennessee in the home opener of the 2005 volleyball season at Allen Arena.
The Lady Bisons lost the first two games 30-11 and 30-12, but came out strong in game No. 3, keeping the score knotted for much of the way before falling 30-23.
Ann Mullins and Grace Gilmore tied for team lead in defensive digs with six each for the Lady Bisons. Betsy Steele led the Lady Bisons with .222 hitting percentage.
The Lady Vols posted a .260 team hitting percentage. Julie Knytych led the Lady Vols with a .600 hitting percentage followed by Kristen Andre with a .556. Amy Morris and Annie Sadowski both tied with a match high seven digs.

You could write a script to dump the data into a file that resembles /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and then use the migrate_passwd.pl script to convert it into LDIF format.
Here is a basic migrate_passwd.pl user guide.
I'm sure there are other ways, but this the simplest one I can think of. Passwords would be a problem if the DB stores them in a non Linux encryption format so that creation of a /etc/shadow clone would be difficult. There may be functions out there that can return an encrypted password Linux style password out there, assuming you can decrypt the DB passwords in the first place.

I really like these boots. Even though they have a high heel, the wedge actually makes them comfortable to walk around in. I was pleased with the grip of soles on wet pavement. I'd say these boots run slightly large around the heel. If you're wearing thin socks or tights, I'd size a half size down. With thicker socks though, wearing my usual size 9 works just fine.

Would the person who is over the making of our state flag please make it out of better material and better workmanship as well. I replace three Utah flags for each time I replace our national emblem.
Old Glory has a wider hem or seam on the end. It has six to eight rows of stitches about one inch apart running up and down and across the full width of the flag. This controls the unraveling.
With the state flag one good wind storm and I have to replace it. Either they should produce a better flag or I will stop flying it. I replaced four Utah flags during April and May of this year alone.
I ask that any that are having a similar problem send a letter the editor and perhaps, with that, we can get our Utah State flag upgraded.

Across the United States, all generations have been volunteering in record numbers.
Although no one reason can account for the trend, it appears that Carbon County is following the trend with volunteers young and old.
About 30 organizations around the county accept and even rely on volunteers to operate. While most are public or quasi-public organizations, they provide a diverse ranges of services.
Rebecca Mason, director of Carbon's RSVP center in Price for persons ages 55 or older places volunteers throughout the county.
Mason believes that, while finding volunteers is always difficult, she has seen an increase in the amount of people who are interested.
At the moment, RSVP has a total of approximately 235 volunteers serving throughout the Carbon County area.
"We definitely look at agency needs, but also we look into the interests of the volunteers themselves," said Mason during a telephone interview.
One area that Mason has seen an increase in specifically is Volunteers in Service to America.
While she had a strong showing in VISTA volunteers, Mason indicates that there is also a great need for them.
Most VISTAs operate on a full time basis and volunteers typically receive a living stipend that helps them to develop a strong program for fighting things like poverty or disaster should the incidents occur.
Although RSVP is focused on the 55 and older crowd, the number of younger people interested contacting the center has interested.
But for the most part, Mason redirects younger residents toward other programs that are in need so they can find placement.
"I've had a lot of younger people interested, which is unusual," said Mason, "It really helps that the president is pushing for service."
The Carbon County Active Re-Entry program accepts volunteers and helps place people.
But "for us, it's more difficult to get good volunteers because we need people who like to be around people," explained Active Re-Entry director Nancy Bentley
Government subsidized, Active-Reentry specializes in helping people with disabilities become self -sufficient.
Active Re-Entry needs volunteers who are skilled in fields such as working with the blind or animals in order to help with the People and Animals Working to Serve program.
PAWS utilizes animals to help people recover or cope with disabilities.
"We work closely with the Sun Center at CEU to find volunteers, which are mostly college students who have gone to places like the Navajo reservation to help out with projects," said Bentley.
At RSVP, Mason finds that seniors tend to volunteer in order to impact the community.
But Bentley also finds that some seniors simply want to work behind the scenes.
Regardless of why people volunteer, local residents' service is a valuable asset to the community.

MASSENA Each year for the past seven holiday seasons, shoppers visiting the Walmart Supercenter at 43 Stephenville St. were greeted by a man singing and dancing as he was ringing the bell for the Salvation Armys annual Red Kettle Campaign.
This year, Walmart shoppers looking for Massena resident Carl Zender wont find him, as the stores corporate office decided to ban the use of boom boxes by bell ringers.
While Mr. Zender no longer is ringing the bell at Walmart, Salvation Army Lt. Cynthia L. Crowsen said she wants to make one thing clear Carl is not banned from Walmart.
This was not a Massena decision at all; it was a national decision. Theres no music allowed at any Walmart locations nationwide, Lt. Crowsen said. It was a decision they made for the safety of all their employees, customers and our bell ringers.
Following the decision from Walmarts corporate office, Mr. Zender still is allowed to use his boom box and sing and dance just not at Walmart.
Carl has decided that since he likes singing and dancing, he will ring the bell someplace else, Lt. Crowsen said.
Mr. Zenders new bell-ringing home is Price Chopper, 152 Harte Haven Plaza.
The decision to not allow boom boxes was made as part of an annual agreement between Walmarts corporate office and the Salvation Armys national headquarters.
There are minor adjustments made to the agreement each year. This is just one that caught someones attention, Lt. Crowsen said. Its nothing thats anything out of the ordinary.
Kayla R. Whaling, a Walmart spokeswoman, said that while the use of boom boxes is banned, Mr. Zender could sing if he returned to Walmart.
We want to provide a pleasant, distraction-free shopping environment for customers, and we want to provide them an environment that is free of cords, wires and the actual boom box itself, which could be a potential hazard for people entering or exiting the store, Ms. Whaling said.
The decision led Mr. Zenders supporters to protest Saturday night atWalmart.
Lt. Crowsen said that the Salvation Army did not support the protest, but that she and her husband, Lt. Russell Crowsen, would be there.
We are not supporting the event, but we will be there to support our bell ringers and Walmart, she said.

Hunters taking to the field for pheasants in Utah this season should find bird numbers that will be similar to last year.
Those heading afield for Gambel's quail along Utah's southern border however, should enjoy improved hunting.
Utah's 2003 pheasant and quail seasons open Nov. 1. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources upland game coordinator, Dean Mitchell provides the following preview for the upcoming hunts.
Ring-necked pheasant. Despite the fact that Utah pheasant populations have declined drastically, many Utah hunters will be afield this year for the wily ringneck.
Hunters should not expect any highly noticeable improvement in pheasant populations this year over last. Five years of very littler precipitation and years of habitat loss have taken their toll on Utah's pheasant populations. Hunters should concentrate their efforts in those areas with remaining suitable habitat.
Most of Utah's pheasant hunters participate during the opening weekend only. Those with persistence and who hunt during weekdays are successful in harvesting a few birds.
Utah pheasant hunting will be poor to fair at best throughout the state. Predictions for hunter success by region are as follows:
Northern region. Reports of large pheasant broods have been common this year. A slightly improved hunt is expected.
Central region. Habitat conditions in agricultural areas where traditionally pheasants are found are fair. In spite of the continuing drought, a few well-timed spring showers stimulated improved nesting and brooding habitat conditions.
Continued urban and industrial development throughout the region make it difficult for hunters to find pheasants. Those with access to private agricultural lands will have the best success.
Overall, hunting this season is expected to be quite slow.
Northeastern region. Poor to fair hunting is expected.
Southeastern region. Poor to fair hunting is expected.
Southern region. Poor to fair hunting expected.
The 2003 hunt will not compare with the heyday of pheasant hunting in the state, which happened in the 1950s and 1960s. Too much habitat has been lost or degraded. Wildlife biologists are anxious to work with Utah landowners who desire to improve and enhance pheasant habitat on private property.
Funds are available through the DWR Habitat Fund for habitat project cost-share payments to landowners who are interested. Please contact the DWR regional habitat manager in the local area for more details.
Pheasant hunting strategies in Utah are fairly different than in the past. Most of the best habitat for pheasants is still found on private lands throughout the state. However, hunters can no longer expect to go afield and have access to private lands on opening morning without talking with the landowner.
Hunters need to invest some time ahead of the pheasant season opener to secure permission on private lands they desire to hunt.
Hunters on lands that are "cultivated" or that have been "properly posted" as no trespassing are required to have written permission from the landowner or person in charge to be there. This applies to family members as well who are not the actual landowner or person in charge of the land.
To determine who owns a parcel of private land hunters desire to hunt, they should visit the county recorder or assessor office for the county they desire to hunt in.
Hunters are encouraged to complete and have the landowner sign the landowner permission card located on the DWR Internet web page at wildlife.utah.gov/law/permissioncard.html. Most landowners are more than happy to allow pheasant hunters onto their land. They simply want to know who's out there.
A simple telephone call or personal introduction goes a very long way in securing permission to hunt on private land. Please take the time to do so. One trespasser is all it takes to close private property to hunters.
Pheasant and other upland game hunters are strongly encouraged to pick up all spent shotgun shell hulls in an effort to be respectful of private and public lands that may be hunted. Old decaying shotgun shell hulls left afield are unsightly and litter Utah's landscape. Hunters should do their part and pick up and pack out any shotgun shell hulls that are expend while afield.
Also, please pick up and pack out any expended shotgun shell hulls left by others. Everyone needs to do their part as ethical and responsible hunters. An uncluttered landscape left by hunters goes a long way toward getting invited back to private lands.
While in the field for pheasants, hunters are encouraged to pay close attention to their shot zones. Annually, wildlife conservation officers respond to complaints from landowners concerned about buildings, livestock and farm equipment being "peppered" by shotgun pellets. All it takes is one event like this to close private property to hunting for good.
As more and more of Utah's pheasant habitat is replaced by urban and industrial development, it's essential to pay attention to the shot zone.
Although not required by law, it's also an excellent idea to wear hunter orange clothing and caps while afield for pheasants.
Information about specific DWR upland game and waterfowl management areas open to hunting is contained in a brochure titled, DWR lands. This brochure is available on the wildlife division's upland game web compilation of the brochure is found in a booklet that can be purchased at any DWR
California and Gambel's quail. California quail populations are sporadically scattered throughout Utah. Main concentrations are found within urban areas along the Wasatch Front, east into the Uintah Basin and southeast into the Carbon and Emery county areas.
If hunting adjacent to urban areas, hunters should contact local authorities to determine regulations governing the discharge of firearms. California quail populations appear to be the same as last year.
Recent and ongoing transplants of California quail from the Wasatch Front to suitable habitats in outlying areas are responsible for quail being seen by hunters in new areas. Duchesne, Uintah and parts of Sevier and Emery counties are traditionally the best areas to hunt.
Predictions for success by region are as follows:
Northern region. Urban populations.
Central region. Most of the quail habitat in the central region i along the Wasatch Front where hunting is very limited, if not restricted altogether.
Caution should be used when hunting in the foothills above housing areas, taking note where city limit boundaries are to avoid illegal shooting
The quail population is similar to last season.
Northeastern region. Fair hunting is expected in Duchesne County. The extended opportunity to hunt quail in the Uintah Basin through December has provided some good recreational opportunity for hunters.
Southeastern region. Fair to good hunting expected. Limited distribution.
Southern region. Fair to good hunting expected. Very limited distribution.
Gambel's quail are found in the Mohave Desert habitat of Washington County (in the very southwestern corner of the state) and sporadically scattered along Utah's southern border.
Gambel's quail populations are up significantly over last year. Both brood size and the number of birds observed were greatly improved on long-period waterhole counts this summer. Hunters should concentrate their efforts along dry washes.
Calling can be an effective technique for locating coveys of birds.
Please enjoy the fall hunting experience. Don't forget to pick up and read a copy of the upland game proclamation.

During the past school semester, Yemi started a YEP chapter on the Penn State campus in Schuylkill, Pennsylvania. YEP focuses on helping youth develop skills in leadership, civic engagement, critical thinking, advocacy, and team building.
1 in 5 American children live in poverty. By equipping local organizations, responding to disasters here in the United States, and empowering our youth, World Vision works to strengthen communities throughout America -- as well as abroad.
Today's infographic gives an overview of our U.S. programs.
After the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January 2010, World Vision's Jeff Wright, operations director for humanitarian and emergency affairs, was among our first responders.
Why World Vision? In today's Q&A, Jeff describes what it's like to deploy to a disaster zone and how World Vision's disaster response makes a difference -- both then and now.
As I saw images from Moore, Oklahoma, flash across my screen in May, I was immediately brought back to similar scenes of devastation that took place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 2011. I thought about how World Vision was just finishing up its disaster response to that deadly tornado, two years after it touched down.
What do you know about water?
Before I went to Lebanon, I knew that it is life-saving and that clean water is key to preventing diseases. But I never realized how much its value extends beyond that. I never understood the dignity and comfort that it can offer people in hard times -- until this past month.
Joy Toose, social media manager for World Vision Australia, spent a month reporting from Lebanon about the Syrian refugees who fled there to escape violence in their home country. Today, she shares three things that she learned about the refugee crisis that you should know, too.
People living in poverty are more vulnerable when disasters strike. With over 90 percent of deaths caused by natural disasters occurring in developing countries, World Vision's community development approach is essential to strengthening communities in advance of disasters. But we're also pre-positioned to respond so we can start our relief work immediately when a disaster strikes.
Today's infographic shows how our disaster response works.
Why World Vision? In the second of this two-part Q&A (if you missed it, read part 1 here), Matthew Stephens, senior specialist for child protection with World Vision, explores how our community development work and child sponsorship program help protect children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence.
Why World Vision? In this 2-part Q&A (check back for part 2 tomorrow!), Matthew Stephens, senior specialist for child protection with World Vision, explores how our community development work and child sponsorship program help protect children from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence.
Combating forced labor is part of World Vision's holistic approach to protecting children and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience life in all its fullness. World Vision works to address the root causes of child labor and create opportunities for affected children to get an education and leave jobs that are often dangerous, dirty, and degrading.
Today, we present the stories of two boys whose lives as child laborers are turning toward new opportunities through World Vision programs.
The International Labor Organization estimates that at least 20.9 million men, women, and children around the world suffer in forced labor, though the actual number could be closer to 27 million. Further, 55 percent of victims of forced labor are women, and girls comprise 98 percent of sex trafficking victims.
Chanty* was one of them -- but now she has a second chance.
Today, Jesse Eaves, World Vision's senior policy adviser for child protection in Washington, D.C., describes how child sponsorship is an investment in a child's future, and how advocacy -- speaking out on behalf of those affected by poverty and injustice -- increases the return on that investment.
Around the world, there are 115 million children trapped in hazardous child labor, and millions more are victims of abuse and other forms of exploitation. Under such conditions, children cannot experience fullness of life. World Vision works to protect children by preventing exploitation and abuse, by restoring children that have been abused, and by speaking out about child protection issues.
Today's infographic illustrates our work in this sector.
The World Vision Artist Program is celebrating a great milestone: 1 million children sponsored over the past 25 years! We've asked a few of our artists to reflect on what it has meant to partner with World Vision in helping children have hope for the future.
Today, World Vision Artist speaker, author, Bible teacher, and singer Sheila Walsh writes about a recent trip to Ethiopia where she met one of her sponsored children and saw the bigger picture of what child sponsorship is all about.
Why World Vision? In today's Q&A, Linda Hiebert, senior director for education and life skills development with World Vision International, delves into World Vision's work in education and our new model, aimed at ensuring quality education for children for life.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The issue of whether Medicaid should be expanded in Maine is heating up in Augusta. Wednesday morning the topic made it's way to Bangor.
Congressman Mike Michaud met with several members of the Maine People's Alliance, who expressed why they believe legislatures should approve a bill that would sign Maine up for an expansion of its Medicaid program under the federal Affordable Care Act. Sonja Sawyer had her Medicaid cut in half a few months ago.
"I can no longer get out and do what I used to do," said Sawyer. "My young 16-year-old son has taken over all household duties. He's taking care of me and that's not the way it should be."
She expressed her concerns about the state of health insurance to Congressman Michaud Wednesday. According to him, expanding medicaid isn't just an economic issue, but also a moral issue providing health care to nearly 70,000 Mainers.
"People who need healthcare will be able to get the healthcare they need and in some cases it could literally save their lives as well," said Michaud
Not everyone agrees though. Opponents like Director of the Center for Health Reform Initiatives, Joel Allumbaugh, say that accepting additional funding at the federal level now would have negative effects down the road.
"They don't' pay 100% forever, so I'm very worried about the portions that the state will be responsible for once those higher level matching funds go away," said Allumbaugh
According to Michaud, expanding Medicaid will save Maine $570 million over a 10 year period.
The Health and Human Services Committee will host a work session on the bill to expand medicaid on April 9th.

How do you make armatures?
Are you able to use bionicles as ball and socket armatures? If you can would they work well?
Yes, thats what i use for my armatures, though i had to cut them up, put them under a stove, glue them with arldyte, put hardening clay in them, tape them and so on. i'll be posting a video in the future in how to make them properly.
Can you just use the normal bionicle without doing all of that?
i just use that wire you get fron gardening shops with the green spikey stuff around it. the green stuff acts like cloth tape and helps the plasticene stick to it. i think its called tie back wire
yes you can use a normal bionicle, but it wont have good strengh on its own if yo are putting plastesine on it.
it isnt really nessecary to have an armature. Ive made a good few films including one that won COTM and ive never needed an armature. Unless your making a model over 6 inches it isnt that important.
Ok, Thanks!
Chocachoc, always important to have an armature, unless its a short bulky characters with thick limbs.
There are two routes you can go down....
1. A wire armature
2. A ball and socket armature
A stop motion puppet's armature all depends on your film, character, budget and skill.
A simple wire armature requires only annealed aluminium armature wire for the spine, arms, legs and neck, epoxy putty or similar, a drill and some pliers.
The next step up would be a B&S armature. Ball and socket armatures can be hard to make by your self, if you don't have the right equipment. Ball and socket armatures are more similar to a human skeleton with socket joints in the shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles etc. You can get a much smoother fluid movement with B&S armatures.
If you lack the equipment and time to make your own, there are many ready made armatures out there to buy. There are links at the end of this post, where you can buy them. These armatures are also more robust and easy to use, with no problems like breaking wires or wire un-twisting.
A simple wire armature requires only annealed aluminium armature wire for the spine, arms, legs and neck, epoxy putty or similar, a drill and some pliers.
Firstly you need some alluminum wire. You can buy this at any decent art store or craft store.
Then you need some epoxy putty. This a clay like putty that dries ROCK hard after sculpting. The U.K type is called Milliput( google it)or if you can't get your hands on that just oven bake clay will be alright for a beginner.
If your puppet will have tie downs, you need nuts and screws. Tie downs are screws that come up from a hole in your set floor and screw into a nut in the puppet's feet. Then the screw is tightened against the floor with a wing nut.
To start off with you need to twist 2 strands of wire together. To do this quickly you can put 2 pieces side by side and screw the ends into the tip of the drill. Then you secure the other end with a vice or your foot and drill slowly, so they twist together.
The other way of doing this is getting one piece of wire, bending it in half, putting a pencil into the bent over area and wrapping the wire around so the pencil is secured in a loop. Then you would put the other end in pliers and hold the handles tight, or in a vice and then twist the pencil around.
You should make 4 pieces of twisted wire. One for the spine, one for the arms and one for the legs and one smaller looped piece for the head. Now you have to attatch them them together. You take the spine piece and unravel the two twisted wires untill you have two lengths of single wire coming from both ends. Then you bend the arm length in half like a U and wrap the pieces coming off the end of the spine around the bend. You do EXACTLY the same for the legs.
After that you could add epoxy putty or clay onto the chest and hip areas to build up those parts of the armature.
Type in STOPMOSHORTS in google and visit the first link. Go onto gallery at the top and then select tutorials in the options. There are a number of video tutorials there.
If you are not going down the route of making a ball and socket armature, make a well made wire armature.
A well made wire armature is better than an 'ok' ball and socket armature. Its easier than cutting up a jointed bionicle toy. The joints will most likely be bad for animation and 'pop'. Not moving smoothly.
Not all the time if you do it correctly. BUT ANYWAY!! thanks for the tiedown sheet.
Thanks a lot Nofby! I used home made armatures in my sports video, but they arnt as detailed at all as that.
No problem guys!
thats the logest message and most detaled i have ever seen on any forum
Nofby, Instead of using milliput for a wire armature can you use oven baked newplast cause it goes hard when you put it in the oven?
Newplast is plasticine that does not harden in the oven. So no. If you do, you will have toxic fumes coming out of your oven and a very nasty smell!
You really should use epoxy putty. Its actually cheaper than Fimo and works alot better. I use it for my puppets. Look here.... (called Milliput)
I've included a pic of a puppet who has a milliput and wire armature.
But if you want fimo....( It won't be as robust as putty)
You can use Fimo if its easier to get hold of! But its not AS good as milliput.
o yeh lol i just rememberedanout the toxic fumes bit
I followed your instructions and made an armature. What do you think Nofby?
Great work Chocachoc! It looks fab! One tip:
For the spine, next time, be sure to make it longer than it is now, so it can bend in different places, not the same spot. If it bends in the same spot, it will fatigue more quickly.
Also, twist more pieces of wire together for the spine and legs, it will make it stable and stronger. About 4 or 5 for the spine, 3 or 4 for the legs, 2 for arms and neck.
Since you are using clay? It dosen't matter as much.
For a first try- very well done!!
I'm going to try and clothe this one.
Great! Be sure to keep us notified on your progress. The method is a little tricky, but fun too!
Whats the character?
Vince Noir from the Mighty Boosh. I'm going to do a remake of one of their entrances (1st series).
I've got the foam all ready to be stuck on. Could you add some more of the tutorial please?
Nice! I sure will. Are you using that sponge? If it soaks up water and has quite big porous holes, its not the right stuff.
Ow, can I try to use it anyway? Does it matter about the density?
It does really, especially if you try to glue it. Also, if its really porous like that its hard to animate because when you move an arm or leg you squish the foam really easily and its annoying.
Have you got an old mattress to rip foam out of?
Mmmm, I'll try to find a supplier
I looked at a mattress I have that is thin and has an open bit so I could see the foam. The density isn't very different.
Here is the cut up foam.
That looks alot like it
Try big fabric/sewing/craft shops for sheets of soft urethane foam.
It looks roundabout the same. What do you suggest?
I'm not sticking the foam on until I know how to do all of the steps so I might be able to find a craft shop by then.
Sorry, ill be back in a bit.
It looks very porous...
This is a supplier
However its american.
Ask around craft stores, fabric shops, sewing places
Theres 3 specialist suppliers, but, I just checked. Ebay has got it.
I just use foam from an old urethane/upholstrey foam mattress, but I'm going to get some new stuff from Ebay.co.uk
Ok. Ill probably look in craft shops and stuff. I dont want a large quantity.
I might just use the foam I have.
In what ways does it affect animation?
If I were you I wouldn't use it. Just buy some from Ebay, or ask at fabric stores or clothes stores.
If looks way too porous, too many holes, meaning its not very dense and won't cut well into the body mass shape.
I was able to cut it quite easily into the strips I needed.
They are both very cool!
I'm not sure, but I might just use that stuff. I am pretty sure I can create the body mass and I don't think it will affect animating any more than the other foam. Its quite soft. If you have anything else to say about my foam, please say because I'm the beginner and you are the non-beginner.
chocachoc you could try tin foil scrunched up tight, ive done that before now
I think ill use the kitchin sponge I have, thanks for the suggestion though! I used it in my wendoline.
I have an idea for an animation. Models made by Fimo/Sculpey, Newplast and Milliput.
Ok, good luck!
Chocachoc- its your call, not mine. But put bluntly, its the wrong material and won't be effective as a build-up foam. It needs to be quite dense and have a more closed cell structure.
hey nofby, when you do tie downs, with the nut going thru the floor, how does that not make a hole in the set? or how do you cover it up.
iantimothy holes can be filled with a similar coloured plasticene as your set
what if the set is not made of plasticine

We all know how expensive it is to "eat right." A simple trip to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's will eat up an entire paycheck. But we want to be healthy, and eating organic, so we are told, is the way to do it. Or is it?
Well, it seems consumers in London have been complaining about the huge financial disparity between ordinary food and organic food. They clamored and wanted to know if there were true health advantages for their financial investment in the organic stuff.
Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine conducted a systematic review of more than 160 scientific papers and studies published in the leading journals over the past half-century. Their study, "Nutrition-related health effects of organic foods: a systematic review," was published in the July 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Here's the abstract:
BACKGROUND: There is uncertainty over the nutrition-related benefits to health of consuming organic foods.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess the strength of evidence that nutrition-related health benefits could be attributed to the consumption of foods produced under organic farming methods.
DESIGN: We systematically searched PubMed, ISI Web of Science, CAB Abstracts, and Embase between 1 January 1958 and 15 September 2008 (and updated until 10 March 2010); contacted subject experts; and hand-searched bibliographies. We included peer-reviewed articles with English abstracts if they reported a comparison of health outcomes that resulted from consumption of or exposure to organic compared with conventionally produced foodstuffs.
RESULTS: From a total of 98,727 articles, we identified 12 relevant studies. A variety of different study designs were used; there were 8 reports (67%) of human studies, including 6 clinical trials, 1 cohort study, and 1 cross-sectional study, and 4 reports (33%) of studies in animals or human cell lines or serum. The results of the largest study suggested an association of reported consumption of strictly organic dairy products with a reduced risk of eczema in infants, but the majority of the remaining studies showed no evidence of differences in nutrition-related health outcomes that result from exposure to organic or conventionally produced foodstuffs. Given the paucity of available data, the heterogeneity of study designs used, exposures tested, and health outcomes investigated, no quantitative meta-analysis was justified.
CONCLUSION: From a systematic review of the currently available published literature, evidence is lacking for nutrition-related health effects that result from the consumption of organically produced foodstuffs.
Hard to believe, isn't it? I mean… wow! Not what we have been led to believe in all cases. Yet, the studies indicate there is no difference. Disturbing, really. Let's consider some of the information for a moment.
In the article, their findings showed that "a small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs, but these are unlikely to be of any public health relevance," said Alan Dangour, one of the report's authors.
Dangour went on to say: "Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority."
Sure, research shows that the nutritional content of chemically-treated food is almost the same as organic food… But who cares?
The reason people turn to organic food is to avoid the herbicides and pesticides that commercial farmers use to improve crop output and kill crop-eating insects.
We choose organic so that we won't get cancer from eating an apple or salad that was grown in chemically-heavy soil or sprayed with toxic chemicals that will then enter our blood stream.
Recent reports showed that children who ate fruit grown with everyday commercial chemicals presented with traces of pesticides in their urine! And after a mere five days of switching to organic fruit, the toxic levels dropped drastically from their blood.
So you can save a few bucks by consuming commercially grown foodstuffs, and you may actually receive the actual nutrients found in their organic counterparts.
But beware, having money in your pocket and nutrients in your system in no way reflects the toxic chemical levels you are also living with. Life is too short and too valuable to play games with. Buy organic and live healthier.

POTSDAM — Lloyd B. Brown was the guest of honor Friday afternoon at the Potsdam Veterans of Foreign Wars Post, where he celebrated his 91st birthday and reminisced about the role he played 70 years ago during the June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion of Normandy.
The World War II artillery soldier shares his birthday with the infamous D-Day and told his neighbors he wanted to spend time at the VFW where he would see some old friends.
So Bonnie S. Boyd and Timothy H. Champlin, both of Douglas Road, decided to surprise their friend with a cake to celebrate his birthday and the anniversary of the Allied troops' invasion to liberate France from Nazi Germany.
"These World War II veterans aren't going to be around much longer," Ms. Boyd said. "If you want to know the real story, you have to get it now."
Mr. Brown, a life-long Potsdam-area resident, is hard of hearing, but he still drives, mows his own lawn and plays guitar. He smiled as he walked into the VFW to find patriotic party decorations and a cake waiting for him.
As a corporal in an Army artillery unit, Mr. Brown said, he was responsible for manning cannons aboard an anti-aircraft ship the day it arrived at Omaha Beach, his 21st birthday. He remembers being surrounded by gunfire, smoke and a great deal of chaos.
"It was so noisy you couldn't hear yourself think," he said. "You couldn't even see in the sky."
The infantry soldiers were first to hit the beaches, so it was several hours before Mr. Brown and his fellow artillery soldiers disembarked with cannon and other heavy weapons. When they did they were surrounded by fallen soldiers.
"The beaches were loaded with bodies. They were floating in the water," Mr. Brown said.
He also remembers winning a bet with a fellow soldier regarding what day the invasion would occur.
A storm in the English Channel postponed the invasion from June 5 to June 6, which meant Mr. Brown won the $5 bet.
After returning from the war, Mr. Brown said, he worked various jobs including logging and serving as a deputy St. Lawrence County sheriff.
He loves to fish and is teaching Mr. Champlin to play guitar.
His wife, Edith, 84, resides at United Helpers' Maplewood campus, Canton.
Ms. Boyd said getting to know Mr. Brown has been a joy.
"When you have someone as old and as sweet as Lloyd Brown, you want to look out for him," she said.
Robert Crary, Potsdam VFW post commander, said he was happy the VFW could help honor Mr. Brown and recognize his involvement in D-Day.
"The things he saw we can only imagine," Mr. Cary said. "He was there when it happened. He was part of it."

Henry Lindgren of Idaho Falls, ID - October, 15 2012:
Lets face it, Honda generators ARE the "Rolls Royce" of generators. I bought this one a few years ago at Sportsman's Warehouse after selling the old Honda 800 generator which I had for 20 years. The old one still started on the first pull every time without fail. I just needed more power to run the microwave etc. Like the older brother, this one starts on the first pull every time! And it's quieter! You can't go wrong with this generator.Don of Farson, WY - February, 11 2013:
Honda generators are the best of the best. I bought it to use in emergencies so I needed it to start fast and easy every time. This starts first pull without fail. What more could you ask for? I'd never go with anything else.
