Halstead scored on its first play from scrimmage a […]Read more ›

2005 Escalade (ESV) Power Seat Non Functioning (Free Fix W/Pics)
Lost all power to drivers seat only. No forward/reverse, tilt or bolster/lumbar. The passenger side works normally.
First things I checked, obvisously fuse, but alas I have looked in the manual and online, couldn't find location. I did come across a couple of circuit breakers, one under hood and one inside cab, both checked out ok. I then moved my attention to the underside of the drivers seat, what a nightmare. All visable wires looked connected and unscathed.
Under Dash Circuit Breakers:
I then decided to look at the Power Seat Module itself, once removed from the lower seat cushion, I found its a sealed unit. I decided to swap out with the passenger to see if the module itself failed. The working passenger side Power Seat Module did not work on the drivers side. I replaced both back to their proper places.
Moving along, I went to the ole stand by, Google. There were many sites that recommended going to a dealer and having the module updated with new software, umm at the time I did not consider this an option. One site had mentioned to pull the 30 AMP circuit breaker for 30 seconds to reset the modules, that did not work. I continued on, many, many pages into Google, I found a site that someone posted "chaffed wires" at main power connection. Ah ha, so I contorted myself between the rear seat and drivers seat where I found the Main Power Cover, I removed it to find the power wires (no chaffed wires), I wiggled the two harnesses, and tried to move seat, BINGO loose wires at the main connection. I used small zip ties to secure the connectors together.
Drivers side seat, now is in proper working order, forward/backwards, tilts, and bolster/lumbar

I want to say thanks also, my seat hasn't worked for about a year now and it wasn't so bad for me cause it was stuck in my spot, however, the bad part was that the heated seat didn't work. Took me about 5 min to get it working again, that includes the time it took to read the post! Thanks

Re: 2005 Escalade (ESV) Power Seat Non Functioning (Free Fix W/Pics)
Hello friends, I have a 2006 Escalade and the forward/backward on the drivers front seat stopped working but everything else still works which includes tilt, bolster/lumbar/heated seats.
I'm thinking maybe just the forward/backward motor burned up? please help thank you.

Flat Rock Playhouse Executive Director Vincent Marini.
- Filed Under
Donors coming to the aid of Flat Rock Playhouse have headed off a financial crisis, with the historic theater raising more than $250,000 and promising to forge ahead with its 2013 season.
One anonymous donor pledged $100,000 and another offered $100,000 if it can be matched before year's end, executive director Vincent Marini said Tuesday.
"We have some pending gifts that would total $200,000," he said. "We are on our way to a half a million. I am more encouraged than I was a few weeks ago." ...

Google Glass Sex App Lets Wearers Swap Their Points-Of-View In Bed
Sex With Glass lets users swap position suggestions and films their whole romantic interlude.
Created at a Wearable Tech Hackathon in London, the Sex With Google Glass app lets couples experience their intimate moments from each other's point of view.
Like most Glass apps, the app is controlled via voice commands. To start the app the user simply says, "OK Glass, it's time." The app records what each wearer sees and by swiping the side of the device, the wearer can change their view and perspective and the app will stream their partner's view so that the couple will be able to see through their partner's eyes.
The app also allows the wearer to select mood-setting music and even lets them ask for suggestions on sexual positions to keep things exciting.
To put a stop to the app users can say, "OK Glass, pull out." Google Glass then puts together a video of the entire event and can play it back for the wearers. The video can be replayed for up to five hours before it is deleted forever from the app.
The app was developed by Sherif Maktabi, a product design student at London's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Two men claiming to be firefighters assaulted and robbed a Middletown couple, according to police.
Michael Saunders and his girlfriend, Molly Martin, were at their home in the 1900 block of Roosevelt Avenue when two men claiming to be firefighters knocked on their door, officers said.
When Saunders opened the door, the men "came charging in."
Police say one of the men pointed a gun at Saunders and then attacked the two with a hammer.
Saunders was hit in back of the head with the hammer and Martin was hit in the forehead and forearm, police said.
"You could kill somebody that way," Lt. Scott Reeve told the Journal-News. "That's a serious assault when someone gets struck with a hammer."
Saunders told the Journal-News he's fortunate that his 3-year-old daughter wasn't home during the robbery.
Middletown Police said most robberies are not random acts.
"Very seldom we hear about random acts like this. People are usually targeted for a specific reason," said Reeve.
The men stole Saunders' limited edition Xbox and his black leather ottoman.
Since the attack, Saunders' friends have purchased him a new Xbox and he has bought a gun for protection.
Police say that if the men are caught, they are facing felonious assault and aggravated robbery charges.

Chateau Saint Roch Cotes du Roussillon Kerbuccio 2011
Other Red Blends from Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Winemaker's Notes
The 2011 Chateau Saint Roch Kerbuccio opens to very dark and dense red robe in the glass. Red fruit and alcohol nose, On the palate, the wine is straight away very powerful on the palate, very well balanced tannins giving the wine an impression of elegance.
Blend: Grenache 40%, Syrah 40% Mouvedre 20%
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The backside of this region is Corbieres, but this opaque purple-colored 2011 Kerbuccio would blow away just about any Corbieres. A wine of great intensity, it offers up copious floral, blackberry and blueberry fruit intermixed with hints of charcoal, scorched earth and wet rocks. Dense and full-bodied with tremendous richness and supple tannins..."
Chateau Saint Roch Winery
Recently purchased by Jean Marc Lafage, Chateau Saint Roch is located in the Maury Area of the Agly Valley, which is 15 miles from Perpignan and the Mediterranean Sea. The castle of Queribus, built by the Cantharis, at the top of the steep Corbières Mountain watches over the vineyards from the north. Each plot is now surrounded by black berry bushes, fig trees, pomegranate trees, cherry trees, carob trees, oaks, as well as fields of thyme, lavender and fennel.
The soil of the hills is made up of schiste clay with a limestone base and their altitudes vary between 120 to 370 meters. The wind, called here the "Tramontane", circulates in this corridor between Fenouillèdes and Corbières. The southern Catalan sun takes advantage of the refractive qualities of the schist from this ancient icy plateau to give St Roch its unique light. View all Chateau Saint Roch Wines
About Languedoc-Roussillon(LAHN-guh-dock) (ROO-see-yohn) France. The region stretches along the land above the Mediterranean, bordered by the Rhone river on the east and almost reaching Spain on the west. Only 10% of the wines from the area are AC, with the remaining wines often landing in the Vin de Pays or Vin de Table category. Wines in the Vin de Pays category are classified here as Vin de Pays d'Oc.
Notable Facts80% of the wines here are red. The grapes of the neighboring Rhone region are popular, with the focus on Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut and to a lesser extent, Carignan. White grapes include Rousanne, Marsanne, Clairette and other white Rhone varieties. Parts of the region are also enjoying success with international varieties like Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. For many of these international style wines, you'll see the grape variety on the label – very un-French, but since they qualify as Vin de Pays d'Oc, it's allowed. Not so for the AC wines of the region, which are relegated to using most of the regional varieties and labeling their bottles by region. Appellations in the Languedoc include Corbières, Minervois, Costières de Nimes, Banyuls and the largest of them all, Coteaux de Languedoc. Corbières and Minervois are found on the western side of the region and produce sometimes very concentrated red wines. Costières de Nimes lies just southwest of the Rhone and produces wines of comparable character. Banyuls creates decadent fortified wines with Grenache and Coteaux de Langeudoc does triple duty, using international and regional grapes to produce white, red and rose wines that are often fantastic values.
RoussillonA region located between the Spanish border and Languedoc, Roussillon is often mentioned in conjunction with Languedoc, but is an entirely separate, albeit smaller, area. Producing white, red and rose wines, Roussillon is in the Catalonia region, which bleeds into Spain and France. The area has equal amount of Spanish influence as it does French. It is most well-known for Banyuls, a potent dessert wine made from concentrated old-vine Grenache. Vines are old and planted on steep, rocky, terraced hillsides overlooking the coast. The region is also making still wines, mostly from Grenache but with a good amount of Carignan as well.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Me and my husband stayed here for 3 nights during our honeymoon in Thailand. We booked online and the hotel looked really nice.
When the taxi dropped us off we soon realised its in the middle of nowhere! Luckily we always hire a scooter so this wasn't too much of an issue, but if we didn't I'd have no idea how you'd get to the beach it nearest shop.
The 'resort' consisted of bungalow type accomodation and concrete blocks 7 storeys high. This is where we were! We discretley said we were on our honeymoon, so were given quite a nice room! We were on the end of the block si we actually had a really nice view!
The room hadnt been cleaned particulary well, the bathroom and kitchenette we a grubby.
Breakfast wea pretty poor and we only went the once even though it was included!
The wifi only worked in the main reception.
This place could have potential but it's in dire need of refurbishment! The place is old and very tired looking! The bungalows sleep 6 and have their own pool, however our view looked over one of these and I did not like them. The pool was tiny and although it sleeps 6 only had 2 sun lounged. They were extremely run down!
The entire place could do with closing down for 6 months whilst they refurbish!!! I wouldn't stay here again!! No way near worth the money!

Ethernet Design & Test
The Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3) is widely deployed today, ranging from 10BaseT (10 Mb/s), 100BaseTX (100 Mb/s), and 1000BaseT (250 Mb/s, 4 lanes) in twisted pair to 10 Gigabit Ethernet in fibre.
Designs implementing 10/100/1000M Ethernet must characterize each of the three electrical standards for full compliance. For 10 Gigabit Ethernet, designers must characterize the four XAUI electrical streams operating at 3.125 Gb/s, the combined 10 Gb/s electrical signal, and finally the 10 Gb/s optical signal.
Specifications and compliance tests are defined by the IEEE. The resources you find here will provide you with an overview of Ethernet design, understand the latest measurement techniques, and illustrate design and debug approaches.

It seemed to end a little quickly, but otherwise, it was very...pleasant. I like you style, and although it's prettymuch PWP one does have a sense of the story that takes place behind it. Very well-written, especially seeing as this was your first try at slash.
I Love this one, too! Very dramatic and often suspenseful.
Author's Response: Wow, I am glad to hear that you liked it! Thank you!
I Love this one, too! Very dramatic and often suspenseful.
Author's Response: Haha, I'm flattered. Thank you!
That was most definately entertaining. Very sexy. Otherwise, Maedhros bitter demeanour was very well-portrayed, as was Fingon's very natural perserverance. Well done. Oh, and by the way, I don't know if you ever respond to your reviews, but could you possibly tell me if you're male or female? I'm trying to see if any other men out there write or read slash.
I can't express to you how wonderfully depressing this is. I'm all teary, now.
Wow. That's about all I can say right now. I love your writing style. You have a very expressive voice. The plot was enjoyable, as well. Overall, I'm very much impressed by this. You're definately on my favourite authors list.

It's time to take off the kid gloves and start going toe-to-toe with Russian President Vladimir Putin, said former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, during an appearance on Fox News.
After all, Mr. Putin doesn't mind causing America angst, Mr. Bolton said. Witness the recent granting of asylum to NSA leaker Edward Snowden.
"I think in order to focus Putin's thinking, we need to do things that cause him pain as well," Mr. Bolton said, to Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. "And while I know that not having a chance to have a bilateral meeting with his buddy Barack Obama will cause Putin to lose sleep, it's not damaging Russian interests."
SEE ALSO: Obama to keep pushing Putin over Snowden
Canceling the private chat at the G-20 summit is hardly harsh, Mr. Bolton said, Politico reported. As he put it: The action amounts to "Obama fluttering his eyelids. It's purely symbolic," he said.
Mr. Bolton also said the Russians have "out-maneuvered" and embarrassed Mr. Obama — and they've been doing it for years.
China isn't much better, he said.
"I don't think we should forget we should make China feel pain here for giving Snowden asylum for a couple of days and then allowing him to escape to Moscow. I think the lesson Putin learned watching what we did not do to China is Putin could get away with it, too. So far, they are both right," Mr. Bolton said, Politico reported.

The investigators reviewed genomic data from two sources the NIMH Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Initiative and the National Cell Repository for Alzheimer's Disease and focused on 261 families with at least one member who developed Alzheimer's before the age of 65. Using a novel algorithm they had developed for analyzing CNVs, the researchers identified deletions or duplications that appeared only in affected members of these families. Two of these families had CNVs that included the well-established amyloid precursor protein gene, but 10 others were found to have novel Alzheimer's-associated CNVs, with different gene segments being affected in each family.
While none of the novel variants have previously been associated with Alzheimer's disease, most of them affect genes believed to be essential to normal neuronal function, and several have been previously associated with other forms of dementia. For example, one of the identified CNVs involves deletion of a gene called CHMP2B, mutations of which can cause ALS. In another family, affected members had three copies of the gene MAPT, which encodes the tau protein found in the neurofibrillary tangles characteristic of Alzheimer's. Mutations in MAPT al

Jan 17 2013, 09:58 ET | About: GT Advanced Technologies, Inc. (GTATQ) | By: Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor
GT Advanced (GTAT +7%) pops after Jefferies declares the bad news priced in and upgrades shares to Hold. While cutting estimates on GT and arguing there's additional backlog risk, the firm also notes shares trade roughly at book value, and it sees orders for sapphire LED and solar polysilicon manufacturing equipment potentially acting as 2H and 2014 catalysts (though it wants to see more visibility). 30.3% of the float was shorted as of Dec. 31.

So what does it take to become a Blue Angel?
VERO BEACH - VERO BEACH -- The Vero Beach Air Show was a success beyond the horizons of everyone's imagination.
Tens of thousands came out to the airport over the two-day event and thousands more set up lounge chairs at select sites to look skyward for the precision flight patterns of the Blue Angels and the aerial antics of the other aviators on the bill.
But by far the stars of the show were the Blue Angels who came into town early and were delighting locals as the F/A-18 Hornets screamed overhead as they practiced their maneuvers.
The most asked question was, "What does it take to become a Blue Angel?" The Newsweekly did some investigating and this is what we found out:
The highly competitive process begins at the college level. The average age of a Blue Angel pilot is 33 which equates to over a decade of intensive training.
For candidates not enrolled in the ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps), the U.S. Naval Academy or a college affiliated with the NROTC (Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps), the first step is to contact a U.S. Navy or Marine Corps recruiter to obtain information on becoming an officer.
Once an officer, application and training as a U.S. naval aviator follows. After years of intensive flight training and mastering acrobatic and formation flight, a candidate can apply for Blue Angel duty with a recommendation from their current commanding officer. Qualifications must include expertise in aircraft carrier flight operations, 1,250 logged jet flight hours and the completion of an assignment with an active U.S. Navy or Marine Corps jet squadron.
Equally important are the candidate's character, communication skills and dedication to duty.
The only two questions on the Blue Angel applicant questionnaire are: "What attributes would you bring to the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron?" and "Why do you desire to become a member of the squadron?"
Active applicants may travel with the group and attend pre-show briefings and social events to become accustomed to their overall responsibilities.
Applicants who reach the semifinalist stage must attend a three-day formal interview held at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, home to new team member training.
For enlisted military personnel on active duty, programs such as "Boost" and "Seaman to Admiral" provide the opportunity for the Blue Angel applicant to transition to officer and then begin flight training.
The Blue Angels keep a demanding schedule. The team performs more than 70 shows at 35 locations throughout the United States every year and in addition will visit nearly 100,000 people at various schools and hospitals between March and November.
The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration pilots are assigned to a two- or three-year schedule and are required to remain on active duty for two years following their tour with the Blue Angels.

It is not the holiday season yet and we are already getting those hard to resist deals. Today's deal is for the newly announced Nikon D750 (read our extensive review), which you can get together with the Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G VR lens (see our review) for $2,996.95 at B&H Photo Video and other retailers. The D750 body only costs $2,299 and the lens goes for $1,299, so that's an instant $600 discount on the bundle.
Nikon D750 AF Performance with TCs + More Image Samples
I have been testing the autofocus capabilities of the Nikon D750 during this weekend with several lens and TC (teleconverter) combinations to see how well the camera will perform in terms of accuracy and AF reliability. The first lens that I tested out was the new Nikkor 400mm f/2.8E VR lens, which I used with and without teleconverters. I am planning to review this lens later this year, so I needed to get as many image samples as possible in different situations, with all three Nikon TCs. Like the 800mm f/5.6E VR monster, the 400mm f/2.8E VR is a stellar lens with amazing optics, but also with a very hefty price tag of $12K. So it is definitely not a lens for everyone! As expected, the lens performed amazingly well with top notch sharpness and microcontrast, stunning colors and super fast and accurate autofocus. However, the biggest surprise was how hand-holdable it has gotten compared to the previous version, thanks to fluorite elements and the much lighter build. Here is a photo of a wood duck that I captured hand-held:
Nikon D750 ISO Comparisons
I apologize for not being able to post the ISO comparisons in the Nikon D750 review earlier today. Unfortunately, the comparisons took a long time, because I had to retest everything several times. My first copy of the D610 had strange exposure issues, making it hard to properly compare it with the D750, so I had to find another one. Just in case, I also got a D600, a D4 and a D4s from Tom Redd (thanks Tom!) to add to the comparison. Since the D4 produced very similar result as my Nikon Df, I did not bother with uploading D4 crops.
Nikon 400mm f/2.8E VR – Initial Impressions
We have just returned from 13 days in the Botswana bush with our good friend Moses Ntema, owner of Unlimited Tours and Safaris operating out of Maun, Botswana. This mobile tented safari was designed to take advantage of the late dry season predator/prey action in three diverse areas of Botswana: The Savuti Marsh in the Mabebe Depression (Chobe NP), the Khwai riverine ecosystem and the rich flood plains from The Blackpools to Third Bridge in the Moremi Game Reserve (including the Bodumatau area). This was our third trip with Moses and Unlimited Safaris having previously visited The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) and Duba Plains in addition to other locations in Tanzania and the Okavango Delta.
Nikon D750 for Wildlife and Landscape Photography
Just when my wallet was getting over the hangover from buying a D810, along comes the Nikon D750, a 24mp full frame DSLR with an improved AF-system and 30 percent faster burst rate than the D810. Both are great attributes for the wildlife shooter. Moreover, the D750 sports a new 24mp sensor that's touted as even better than that in the D600 and D610. I always liked the files my D600 cranked out – could the D750 files look just as yummy and have even less noise? I told myself not to touch the D750, that nothing good could from having a fling while still on my D810 honeymoon, but the D750 was so light and sleek and I was oh so weak…
Nikon 20mm f/1.8G ED – Initial Impressions
Since Nasim has been photographing the beautiful golden aspens in Ouray County, Colorado with members of the Photography Life community for the last few days, I thought I would provide some early thoughts and samples of photos taken with the new Nikon AF-S 20mm f/1.8G ED. Once Nasim is back in town, he will post a much more detailed review of this lens. I would call this a "Nasim Light Lens Review," but that would be giving myself too much credit!
Photokina 2014: Leica
With most Photokina announcements behind us, it is a good time to look back and overview some of the new products we have not yet covered, namely Leica. As I expected, the new Leica M Edition 60 spawned quite a lot of differing opinions. But it's not the only camera the legendary German manufacturer has brought to our attention and, whilst none are cheap, the other products are considerably more affordable. There's the film Leica M-A, a new Summicron-S 100mm f/2 lens for the medium format S system and a few smaller format digital Leica models. Let's glance through them in more detail.
Nikon 200-400mm With and Without Filters
The Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G VR is a very versatile and sharp lens and those that own it or previously used it know that is a great choice for close action photography, such as photographing bears in Alaska. I recently saw a comment by a photographer, who claimed that the lens gets even sharper if its front protective filter is removed. Both the Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G VR and its newer VR II version have a removable front protective element, as well as a 52mm drop-in filter that most other super telephoto lenses have. While I was testing my 200-400mm f/4G VR in my Imatest lab, I decided to compare the performance of the lens with and without the front protective and the 52mm drop-in filter to see if the above claims were true or not. It turned out to be an interesting study. I apologize for the geeky nature of this article!
Nikon DSLR Buffer Capacity Comparison
Instead of creating separate articles that show buffer capacity of every newly announced Nikon DSLR, we decided to gather and compile all the available information into a single location. The below table outlines many of the current and discontinued Nikon DSLR models, along with such information as sensor resolution, continuous shooting speed (fps) and RAW / JPEG buffer capacities. While we have included most of the RAW buffer information, we decided not to bother with smaller JPEG sizes, since most cameras presented below can accommodate 100 or more of smaller JPEG images in their buffers.
The Unorthodox Leica
Most modern camera makers have already embraced the fact that, at this day and age, providing a tool just for photography is not enough. A camera needs to do video, and really rather well at that. Connectivity is also a big deal these days with WiFi being the very least that is asked for. Bluetooth is slowly making its way in, too, and many raised eyebrows appear due to the lack of built-in GPS, something that's been available on the cheapest of smartphones for years now. No manufacturer is brave (or stupid, or both) enough to go back to their purely photographic roots. The boldest move I've seen in recent years was the Nikon Df with all the "pure photography" campaign, and all they did was add some more analogue controls and remove video capability which, I am fairly certain, could be added via a simple firmware update. Not that I want to undermine that camera, far from it. Merely say that it is very much a 21st century product packed with features you may or may not use. No manufacturer is brave enough to go back to the very simplest things that are needed to capture an image and nothing else. Not even Fujifilm – under the gorgeous retro skin of X-mount cameras lies the very latest technology.
Wait. I think I may be wrong when I say there is not one such manufacturer. Leica M Edition 60, anyone?

Endresen to Quit County Post for Cantwell Job
June 28 will be the last day in office for the longtime North Kitsap commissioner.
Her last day on the job in Port Orchard will be June 28.
Endresen said she was approached with the job offer by Cantwell, whom she has known for years while working on county issues.
"It was a difficult decision," said Endresen, who is in her third term as county commissioner. "I wouldn't leave this job for just anyone. One of the things I love about being a county commissioner is that I get to help people, and that's one of the things I will continue to do."
Cantwell is scheduled to officially announce the appointment today.
She said she was pleased to have someone on board with Endresen's experience in public service.
"Chris' extensive experience and solid track record in both the public and private sectors is a tremendous asset to the people of Washington state," Cantwell said in prepared comments. "Now from this top federal post, she will help build on our many successes. She knows the importance of building strong communities and how critical it is for us to work together here in the Northwest."
Endresen, 50, is a graduate of the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington. She represents Kitsap County on several state and local boards. She currently serves as vice president of the Washington State Association of Counties.
As a county commissioner, she has been a strong advocate for open space, growth management and environmental concerns.
Endresen said work on statewide issues with the Association of Counties has helped prepare her for a host of concerns from people across the state.
The two months' notice that Endresen is giving the county should give time for potential replacements to step forward, she said. Under state law, the two remaining county commissioners — Republican Jan Angel and Democrat Josh Brown — will have the opportunity to appoint her replacement.
If they cannot agree, the appointment will be made by Democrat Gov. Chris Gregoire.
Endresen, whose term would have been up at the end of 2008, said she will be leaving county government in good hands with a skilled administrator, Nancy Buonanno Grennan, and a new county commissioner in Brown who has exceeded her expectations.
"Josh is doing a fantastic job," Endresen said. "We have good elected officials and a good management team, and I feel very comfortable with the staff we have."
Endresen said she will continue to live in Poulsbo while working out of the Federal Building in Seattle. She will oversee five offices across the state — Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Everett and Tri-Cities. Those offices employ about 18 people.
She replaces Kurt Beckett, who served as Cantwell's state director before he became her chief of staff. Beckett, who joined Cantwell's staff soon after her election in 2000, previously worked for nine years for U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Belfair.

"Fascinating Town of Taal" Top 5 Page for this destination Taal by cyndymc
Taal Travel Guide: 125 reviews and 412 photos
Taal is the oldest town of Batangas Province, and was declared by UNESCO as a Heritage Site for being one of the only 2 remaining culturally preserved sites of Spanish colonial era.
History records show that the rich and famous of Batangas converged in Taal, as evidenced by the stately ancestral homes that line the streets, some of which are still beautifully preserved.
Taal is the site of the biggest Catholic church in Southeast Asia, the Basilica of St. Martin de Tours. The Basilica's architectural design is a medley of religious, artistic and patriotic influences, often described as "theatrical exuberance". Its baroque-inspired facade is said to be made of a single mass of stone, shaped and carved with delicate, ornate designs, akin to the facade of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The story of Our Lady of Caysasay starts in 1603, when a fisherman named Juan Maningcad found a small image, about 6 inches tall (which was later identified by the parish priest as the Immaculate Conception) in the Pansipit River in Barrio Caysasay, Taal, Batangas. Since then, many miraculous things had happened. Our Lady of Caysasay was regarded as the protector of the town and healer of the people.
During the most violent eruption of Taal Volcano that lasted for eight months, lava almost closed the Pansipit River, causing floods to the towns of Taal, Tanauan, Lipa, Bauan and Sala. The locals and parish priest sought refuge at the Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay. Many towns of Batangas were buried in water; Taal was spared.

Obama defends handling of Keystone pipeline
CUSHING, Okla. (AP) — President Barack Obama firmly defended his record on oil drilling Thursday, ordering the government to fast-track an Oklahoma pipeline while rebuking Congress for playing politics with a larger Canada-to-Gulf Coast pipeline project.
Deep in Republican oil country, Obama said lawmakers refused to give his administration enough time review the controversial Keystone pipeline in order to ensure that it wouldn't compromise the health and safety of people living in surrounding areas. "Unfortunately, Congress decided they wanted their own timeline," Obama said. "Not the company, not the experts, but members of Congress who decided this might be a fun political issue decided to try to intervene and make it impossible for us to make an informed decision." Facing fresh criticism from Republicans who blame him for gas prices near $4 a gallon, Obama announced Thursday that he was directing federal agencies to expedite a 485-mile line from Oklahoma to refineries on Texas' Gulf Coast that would remove a critical bottleneck in the country's oil transportation system.

Summary: Pass is a password manager following the Unix philosophy.
Use Flags
- Use x11-misc/xclip to copy passwords to the clipboard.
- Use dev-vcs/git for password revisions.
- Enable fish completion support.
- Add support for x11-misc/dmenu with the 'passmenu' program.
- Allow importing passwords from other password managers using various contributed scripts.
Project Unfork StatusHere's an update on Project Unfork, plus other neat things.
IP Space Migration ContinuesAll Funtoo user containers in the 8.28 IP space will be moving into our new IP space (172.97) over the next few days. If you have DNS set up -- be sure to watch your container and update to the new IP! container.host.funtoo.org DNS will be updated after the move.
Funtoo Hosting IP MoveFuntoo user containers with IPs in the 72.18.x.x range will be gradually migrating to new IP addresses this week. If you have DNS entries for your containers, please be aware that your DNS will need to be updated.
We welcome improvements to this page. To edit this page, Create a Funtoo account. Then log in and then click here to edit this page. See our editing guidelines to becoming a wiki-editing pro.
From the website:
With pass, each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the title of the website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted files may be organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from computer to computer, and, in general, manipulated using standard command line file management utilities.
pass makes managing these individual password files extremely easy. All passwords live in ~/.password-store, and pass provides some nice commands for adding, editing, generating, and retrieving passwords. It is a very short and simple shell script. It's capable of temporarily putting passwords on your clipboard and tracking password changes using git.
You can edit the password store using ordinary unix shell commands alongside the pass command. There are no funky file formats or new paradigms to learn. There is bash completion so that you can simply hit tab to fill in names and commands, as well as completion for zsh and fish available in the completion folder. The community has even produced a GUI client, an iOS app, a Firefox plugin, a dmenu script, and even an emacs package.
You need to have set up gpg to use pass. Check out the Gentoo GnuPG article and read The GNU Privacy Handbook if you don't know what GPG is.
You can install 'pass' the usual way:
# emerge -a pass
USE Flags
However if you want the features like zsh completion or dmenu script you should add some USe flags to configure pass to your needs.
If you have equery installed you can check the all available USE flags including their description using:
# equery u pass
Soon the wiki will list the use flags of packages too!
For example if you want pass the abillity to import passwords form other other password managers you should add importers:
# echo "app-admin/pass importers" >> /etc/portage/package.use"
importers can import passwords from:
- 1Password
- KeepassX
- Keepass2
- Figaro's Password Manager
- Lastpass
- Ked Password Manager
- Revelation Password Manager
- Password Gorilla
- PWSafe
- KWallet
Example usage
This is how you initialize pass and store a password:
$ pass init "mystore" mkdir: created directory "/home/user/.password-store/" Password store initialized for mystore $ pass insert Work/Mailaccount mkdir: created directory "/home/user/.password-store/Work" Enter password for Work/Mailaccount: **** Retype password for Work/Mailaccount: ****
Now you can show your password using:
$ passWork/Mailaccount
Use the option -c to copy the password to clipboard instead of displaying it on the screen. It will be deleted from clipboard after several seconds.

NEW YORK (Jan. 31, 2013) -- Recognizing that medicine is not "one size fits all," Weill Cornell Medical College and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital have created the pioneering Institute for Precision Medicine at Weill Cornell and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. This new, cutting-edge translational medicine research hub will explore the new frontier of precision medicine, offering optimal targeted, individualized treatment based on each patient's genetic profile. The institute's new genomic research discoveries will help develop novel, personalized medical therapies to be tested in innovative clinical trials, while also building a comprehensive biobank to improve research and patient care.
The Institute for Precision Medicine will be led by Dr. Mark Rubin, a renowned pathologist and prostate cancer expert who uses whole genomic sequencing in his laboratory to investigate DNA mutations that lead to disease, particularly prostate cancer. Dr. Rubin currently serves as vice chair for experimental pathology, director of Translational Research Laboratory Services, the Homer T. Hirst III Professor of Oncology, professor of pathology and laboratory medicine and professor of pathology in urology at Weill Cornell and is a pathologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.
Dr. Rubin and his team seek to replace the traditional one-size-fits-all medicine paradigm with one that focuses on targeted, individualized patient care using a patient's own genetic profile and medical history. Physician-scientists at the institute will seek to precisely identify the genetic influencers of a patient's specific illness -- such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease and others -- and use this genetic information to design a more-effective course of treatment that targets those specific contributing factors. Also, genomic analyses of tumor tissue will enable researchers to help patients with advanced disease and no current treatm
