Great Project!! Easy Setting,user friendly.Super love!!
simply great!
Very good !!!
I have been using OMV for about a year. Love it so much I have also installed it for Brother for a NAS solution. Support forum is excellent. Get immediate help always. Eagerly waiting for version 3.X
Excellent. Used NAS4Free before, but OMV is much more stable and easier to maintain and to extend with extra functionality.
Great, easy and perfectly supported
Show !!
Just ok, 4 stars

to be honest, I tried several products but OMV is the most powerful one. excellent community and it servers an easy setup. Go ahead and try it - you won't get disappointed -trust me!
OMV is all you need for a home or small business NAS, is easy to use, and has a lot of features. Ver. 2.1 runs very well on a gen8 microserver.
Well layed out web gui. Easy to setup, great for SOHO, responsive user community and dev support
NAS Software with well laid out web interface, with lots of plug-in features. Excellent for home or small business use.
THIS is the NAS-software you want to go for. It is extremely stable, needs low resources, easy to install and maintain also for "normal" users like me. The installation is easy, and the Web interface is easy and logical. So, it is easy to create users and folders, and give the appropriate access rights. Also the plug-ins are cool. I run a Windows7 in parallel on the NAS and switch over if I need it, stream to my stereocenter the music I have, and use OpenVPN to do my banking and other private stuff when I am travelling via a secure connection. Also the speed ist fantastic, I manage to get transfers above 100MBit. Since I have tested several other solutions, I am happy to have finally arrived at Openmediavault. Easy to use for beginners, really fun for more experienced users, good performance, and running super on my old hardware which is now put to good and versatile usage again. Also the community is very helpful, usually you get (even to beginner's questions as I posted) answers and solutions within one day, in a very friendly manner. HIGHLY recommended!!
First of all, thank you for this great Project! This is the best NetworkAttachedStorage solution ever. So many Plugins available, BEST support on world and also compatible to almost any system! Everything at all, WONDERFUL also great job at forums.openmediavault.org/ by their moderators
excellent system, with many features for untrained users
I use openmediavault since half a year now and I'm very happy with it. Support is excellent and omv runs like a charm... Thank you!!!
Escrevo na minha lingua nativa. Só posso dizer bem deste software que ainda por cima é totalmente gratuito. Ao inicio tive muitas duvidas, mas com a ajuda do pessoal do forum terminei por ve-las resolvidas. Já fui utilizador de outros NAS, mas este convenceu-me por completo e não pretendo outro. Recomendo-o a todos a utilização deste programa. ------ I write in my native language. I can only say well this software on top is completely free. At the beginning I had many doubts, but with the help forum staff finished by to see them resolved. I have been user other NAS, but this convinced me completely and do not want another. I recommend it to everyone using this program.
OMV is a flexible/powerful NAS open source software solution (based on Debian). I find the support community to be the friendliest most helpful I've ever encountered. The quality of the core software is a testament to the efforts of Volker and the other community of developers who work on the powerful plugin system. Thank you all...
The best NAS platform, and by far. It is Linux debian based, highly flexible, accept all filesystems (including ZFS), has all sorts of plug-ins to install and of real Linux applications to add (like Sabnzbd, Sickbeard, Couchpotato...). With an easy to use interface, very comprehensive, adapted to both the beginner and the geek, and with a very active forum. The developper, Volker, does a great job here.
Outstanding software for a new person to linux and NAS in general. OMV has allowed me to get up and running after a short learning curve. I have tried more complicated open source NAS projects and have gotten lost. Glad I found this one.
After trying several other NAS packages, I settled on OMV. I have never looked back. It's simplicity is misleading...it is a very well-crafted piece of software in all respects. Excellent performance, non-intrusive updating, simple to operate, and lean on resource requirements. Highly recommended!
An excellent NAS project for all that finds FreeBSD based projects diffucult.
I have used FreeNAS, NAS 4 Free, and OpenMediaVault as a method of satisfying my home needs for a personal server. FreeNAS was too technical and too advanced and difficult with the plugin setup. NAS4Free came with some built in programs that i needed to run in order to view my media. OpenMediaVault was so easy to configure. Just download the extraplugins file, upload it, and blam. All necessary plugins are available for installation and configuration. I found OMV the easiest one of them all to configure for my needs. The hardest part about OMV was the initial installation of the OS onto the usb stick. Once you get OMV on the usb stick it is a breeze. This OS is for beginners, intermediate, and advanced users.
Using OpenMediaVault on a HP N54L Microserver as an archive, Mini DLNA server, automatic backup via rsync etc. Never had any serious problems, very customizable, well maintained and free. What more can you ask for?

People tend to check in during these times:
No fuss classics and busy busy. Get seated with strangers in a booth so you can stare at their food and play food critic.
Scrambled egg, fried glutinous rice, fried chicken wing
the pineapple bun 😻
I like it but I don't love it? I feel like the reviews hyped it up for more than its worth. Don't get me wrong, its still great
Solid & inexpensive. Open Every day until 2AM (last orders 01:30).
Try to be more gallant to expole the unknown world, especially those new dishes in Cha's.
Too busy everyday! Nice food though. Very Hongkong.
Love this place. Creamy homemade curry is great, as is the fu yung omelette, lemon chicken, shrimp toast, crispy noodles, etc, etc..... Worth the wait in line.
Dry noodles with beef
Try the fried chicken wings and the iced milk tea!
The lady waitress is extremely patient with two "yellow bananas" and our terrible Chinese. Thumbs up!
Not expensive good HK food, try the eggs + shrimp!
Very traditional HongKong/Cantonese style restaurant. Reasonably priced and always packed, so be ready to wait for a table. The macaroni soup with fried egg and luncheon meat is simply delicious
Get the Cha's milk tea! It's awesome!
Famous Cantonese restaurant in Shanghai. VERY delicious food! Chicken in sweet lemon sauce is amazing, try French toast for desert and Cantonese milk tea of course!
definitely worthy! classic Cantonese food, the same as what I'd enjoyed when staying in Hong Kong
Delicious Hong Kong cuisine. Marble beef, scrambled egg with shrimp and lemon tea (so different from European or Russian tea w lemon!) are strongly recommended
A casual Hong Kongese diner serving traditional Cantonese food alongside milk teas and coffee. Try the soy sauce chicken, deep-fried wings, dry-fried rice noodles with beef, & fried ramen with pork. Read more
Always a lot of people. YES, ALWAYS
The best time to avoid wait line is to come after 1:30am.
Decent casual Cantonese food. The stuff i got were all kind of bland. Little overrated IMHO.
Seriously try the fried shrimp on toast, orange chicken shrimp and everything else. Look at everybody's orders for inspiration
Be gentle and nice to the waitresses dressed in white. Some of them finish work every night at 3am.
Lemon chicken, house curry, pineapple buns, and poached chicken are amazing. I love this restaurant. Small and casual. One of my favorite Chinese restaurant in town.
Try the original iced milk tea - authentic!
Get the fried chicken
To really feel like you are in a wong kar wai movie you should dress up like tony leung in chung king express and eat macaroni with luncheon meat.
bu kopek bi harika dostum
Don't try the 菜远牛腩炒面

Well if we are talking about what is the most important part of a car audio system then it has to be the quality of the speakers. The bass should kick when you want it to and the mids and tweeters should be crisp and clear.
But if we are talking about features of a car system I would say in modern times having an easy accessible auxiliary input is very important. It can be used for iPods and satellite radios so you don't have to use a FM transmitter. Also, it is nice if the receiver in your car can display the song information that it receives from an iPod on the screen.
In my recent column, The perfect car stereo, I cobbled together the best stereo features from different cars. What car entertainment feature is most important to you?

Try futuristic vending machines for free in Peavey Plaza tomorrow
If you can't spend an hour playing with your vending machine, is that truly living?
There's nothing quite like scoring some poor sap's chips for free after they get stuck in the vending machine.
Well, downtowners can have that experience as many times as they want tomorrow in Peavey Plaza, where a huge bank of state-of-the-art vending machines are going to be on display and dispensing candy, cookies, chips and drinks for free.
The event is an effort by the National Automatic Merchandising Association to woo younger audiences and drum up interest in their latest machines. The so-called "Gratitude Tour" has already been to Austin and New York, and is stopping off in the Mill City from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow.
The new 2bU machines will be there, which dispense organic, vegan, or locally made snacks for health nuts and foodies. There's a cotton candy vending machine. And the flashiest one is likely the new Diji-Touch machine, which is like a gigantic iPad mounted on the front of a conventional vending machine. Users can flick through choices, watch videos and even get nutritional info on their snacks.
But let's not lose sight of the most important thing here--everything is going to be free. Visitors can skip wrinkled-dollar-bill purgatory and will be free to go bananas. There will be freebies from all the big names: Pepsi, Coke, Kraft, Mars, Dr. Pepper, Hershey's, Frito-Lay, etc., etc., etc.
Check out a video of someone playing with one of the Diji-Touch machines below:

The premiere felt a little tense; the host is still learning how to relate to the camera, how to occupy television. Nevertheless, he proves a friendly presence.
Bell is likely to smooth over the minor bumps in coming shows, but make no mistake: Totally Biased isn't likely to look much like "The Colbert Report" or "The Daily Show."
Will a cheerfully biased newcomer with a few amusing, well-crafted one-liners be enough to get FX on the boards in late night? To paraphrase Yoda, difficult to say--always in motion is the future--but Rock may want to light a fire under this act sooner than later.

With the brushing of our shoulders
I lived a life with you
We had a son or daughter who had my eyes
And your laughter echoed after you
All of this in a brief stare
A fleeting glimpse of happiness shared
That made our bodies burn and shiver
As we passed each other unaware
I am not to think of your face, of your name
For when i do, you are there
Lying next to another
I can only wonder
Lesse mon cour vous abondonne
Depuis je suis encore jeune

Unformatted text preview: Chapter 21 Nuclear Chemistry
Nuclear chemistry involves changes in the nuclear composition of atoms that are radioactive.
Nuclear Chemistry
Many applications Source of energy Medical diagnosis and treatment Carbon dating
21.1 Radioactivity
Why do the elements occur in widely different amounts in the universe? H - 91%
90 elements exist naturally on Earth 81 of these have at least one stable isotope Po-U have no stable isotopes (radioactive) PoThe heavier elements (Np - ) are synthetic (Np and radioactive.
(H-Bi, except for 43Tc and 61Pm) (H-
Not all isotopes are equally stable -- the radioactive ones undergo nuclear decay to form other elements.
When discussing nuclear reactions, we are interested in specific nucleons (particles in the nucleus) -- protons and neutrons -- which provide the majority of the mass of the nucleus.
5 6
Z = atomic number = # protons N = neutron number = # neutrons A = Z + N = mass number = # nucleons nuclide = nucleus of an isotope symbol: AZE Only 264 of the 1700 known nuclides are stable; the others decompose spontaneously at some characteristic rate, emitting some type of radiation.
Review How many protons and neutrons are in the following nuclides?
Uranium-235 Uranium-
Nuclear Equations
Radiation arises from nuclear reactions:
parent nuclide daughter nuclide + radiation
Nuclear Equations
Types of emission particles Alpha Particles: 42He or 42 Beta Particles: 0-1e or 0-1 0 e or 0 Positrons: +1 +1 Gamma Rays: (no mass or charge)
To balance, two conditions must be met: 1 Conserve mass number(A), the #of nucleons 2 Conserve nuclear charge (Z) If we know two of the nuclear particles, we can use these rules to identify the third particle.
Nuclear Reactions
Nuclear decomposition of Radium Emission of alpha particles: 226 Ra 222 Rn + 4 He 88 86 2 Used in radiation therapy

Group Work
Identify the type of radiation emitted when carbon-14 decays to nitrogen-14. carbonnitrogenWrite a balanced equation.
Types of Radiation
Three types of radiation are commonly detected: alpha, beta or gamma
Types of Radiation
Alpha = 42He2+ or 42He or 42 largest, least penetrating can be stopped by aluminum foil > 10-3 cm, paper, skin least harmful most massive
Types of Radiation
Beta = 0-1ehigh energy electrons (e-) or positrons (e+) more penetrating stopped by 0.05 - 0.1 cm of aluminum travel 10 ft through air commonly emitted by TV sets electron: 0-1 or 0-1e or epositron: 0+1 or 0+1e or e+
Types of Radiation
Gamma = energy with no mass or charge Most penetrating radiation Stopped by 5 - 11 cm of aluminum or thick layer of concrete or lead Lead is commonly used to enclose radioactive materials because radiation does not penetrate readily In the 1950s, it was common to build thick concrete bomb shelters
Types of Radiation
Other particles: proton (p+ or 11p or 11H) neutron (n or 10n) neutrino (00) and antineutrino (00), which have no mass or charge and accompany emission of beta particles; these are generally ignored by chemists
21.2 Patterns of Nuclear Stability
The stable nuclides occur in a narrow band of N/Z values -- an "island of stability". For Z = 1-20, N = Z 1(N/Z = 1)
Eg. Ca-40, O-16, C-12 Eg. CaOC-
For Z > 20, N > Z (N/Z < 1.6)
Eg. Zr-90, Hg-200 Eg. ZrHg25 26
The stable isotopes form a zig-zag pattern zigwithin the island of stability. Even Z & even N: most stable Even N & even Z for 60% of the stable nuclides (157) Even N or even Z for most of the rest (102)
Only 5 stable nuclides have both odd N and odd Z, one of which is nitrogen-14, 147N nitrogen27
Relative abundance of some nuclei B-10 F-19 Zn-64 Zn19% 20% 100% 49% Zn-66 28% ZnZn-68 ZnB-11 80%
Group Work
Which of each pair of nuclides is most likely to be radioactive? radioactive? 16 O and 17 O 8 8 16 O and 18 O 8 8 29 Si and 28 Si 14 14 14 C and 12 C 6 6
Magic Numbers: Nuclei with Z or N values Numbers: equal to 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126 have been found to be particularly stable Nuclides with these numbers of protons and neutrons are especially stable (note that these are all even numbers). Super Stable Nuclides: 42He, 168O, 4020Ca
Spontaneous Nuclear Decay Reactions
Unstable nuclides decay spontaneously to try to reach a more stable N/Z ratio, while emitting radiation at a characteristic rate. If N is too large (N/Z>1): beta particle emission is likely If Z is too large (N/Z<1): positron emission is likely We can predict nuclear decay reactions
Spontaneous Decay
N to P
P to N
What type of decay?
N/Z = 8/6 = 1.33 Stable N/Z for light element is 1.00 decay gives smaller N/Z 14 C 14 N + 0 e6 7 -1 14 N N/Z = 7/7 = 1.00 7
What type of decay?
N/Z = 6/7 = 0.86 (too small) Stable N/Z for light element is 1.00 Increase ratio by positron emission or electron capture 13 N 13 C + 0 e+ 7 6 +1 13 C N/Z = 7/6 = 1.17 6 Can't get closer than this; nuclides prefer to be greater than 1 rather than less than 1
What type of decay?
Sometimes uses electron capture instead. Can't tell which will occur; the result is the same. 0 e- + 22 Na 22 Ne -1 11 10
What type of decay?
Heavy elements decay by a combination of and decay. See the uranium series (Figure 21.4). Ultimately a heavy radioactive element will decay through a series of radioactive elements until it gets to a stable isotope of lead or bismuth. Four such series of decays are known:
U Th Ac Np
Uranium Series
Primary mode of decay is alpha, but a few beta decays are also needed
Spontaneous Decay
Group Work
Predict the type of decay and a possible product for the following radioactive nuclides. 23290Th 2312Mg 167N

P to N
Other Reactions
Nuclear Bombardment: nuclei collide with Bombardment: high energy (accelerated) particles, possibly followed by decay Fission: nucleus splits into two lighter Fission: nuclei and neutrons Fusion: two light nuclei combine into a Fusion: heavier nucleus

Archeological Dating
Radiocarbon dating uses 14C content 14C is produced by bombardment of 14N with neutrons (in cosmic rays)
Archeological Dating
When a plant or animal dies, it no longer incorporates new 14C, and 14C content begins to decrase, causing the 14C decrase, content to become less than that in the atmosphere Count bristle-cone pine tree rings to bristledate the rings; correlate with a measurement of their 14C content (University of Arizona)

Mass Defect
The energy corresponding to the mass defect is called the nuclear binding energy, E. Einstein's equation is used to determine the mass-energy equivalence: massE = mc2 1 amu = 1.66056 x 10-27 kg c = 2.9979 x 108 m/s joule = kg m2/s2
Nuclear Binding Energy
For 2010Ne E=mc2 E = (0.1726 amu x 1.66056 x 10-27 kg/amu) x kg/amu) (2.9979 x 108 m/s)2 E = 2.576 x 10-11 J for one atom For 1 mole of atoms (6.022 x 1023 atoms): E = 1.551 x 1013 J/mol = 1.551x1010 kJ/mol!
Nuclear Binding Energy
Mega Electron Volts (MeV) (MeV)
It is common to use MeV as a unit to get convenient numbers for single atoms: 1 MeV = 1.6602 x 10-13 J E = 2.576 x 10-11 J x (1 MeV/1.6602 x 10-13 J) = 160.8 MeV for one Ne-20 atom NeFor Ne, Binding Energy/nucleon Ne, = 160.8 MeV/20 nucleons = 8.04 BE/Nucleon

Nuclear Fission
Average of 1 n is consumed, but an average of 2.4 n are produced, so more reaction occurs with the new neutrons and the reaction speeds up. This is called a chain reaction. reaction.
Chain Reaction
One step in a chain reaction produces more neutrons than it consumes.
Chain Reaction
Successive steps get faster and faster ....
How do we control the reaction?
Chain reaction
Critical Mass
Nuclear Reactor
The size and shape of the uranium fuel determines how many neutrons escape and how many react. If we exceed some critical mass, the reaction mass, becomes increasingly faster and results in a nuclear explosion. To control the process, we must remove some neutrons and slow down fast neutrons so they will react.
Reactor Core
We use B or Cd control rods to absorb neutrons. 105B + 10n 73Li + 42He
Nuclear Reactor
Fuel is not pure 235U. Usually use U3O8 enriched from a natural 0.7% 235U to 2-3% 235U. 2Use a moderator to slow down neutrons: H2O or D2O or graphite. Get an energy output of 200 MeV/atom or 2 x 1010 kJ/mol as the kinetic energy of the products. Use this kinetic energy to heat water (the coolant) to 310-350oC (under pressure to 310prevent boiling).

21.8 Nuclear Fusion
Fusion is already a source of energy; this is the process that produces sunlight. Sun: 411H 42He + 20+1+ + 25 MeV energy Need energy to initiate fusion (to overcome inter-nuclear repulsions). In the sun, the intertemperature is about 107 K
Nuclear Fusion
In a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb), high temperature and pressure are provided by a fission explosion.
Nuclear Fusion
To date, it has been possible to carry out controlled fusion, but the input energy still exceeds the output energy. The most likely candidate for a fusion reaction is: 2 H + 3 H 4 He + 1 n 1 1 2 0
Nuclear Fusion
2 H is deuterium (D), available from water 1 (heavy water) 3 H is tritium (T), available from the 1 bombardment of Li with neutrons. We currently have about a thousand-year thousandsupply of lithium.
21.9 Biological Effects of Radiation
Can damage tissue cells Radiation comes continuously from many sources besides nuclear power plants and applications of isotopes Natural radiation sources:
granite soil water food air
brick concrete cosmic rays (airplane flights) radon in houses
Bioligical Effects
Damage from radiation depends on:
Activity of radioactive substance Type of radiation Length of exposure Source: inside or outside body
Biological Effects of Radiation
Amount of radiation exposure measured in rem rad = radiation absorbed dose (10-2 J/kg tissue) RBE = relative biological effectiveness
RBE = 1 for x-ray, , xRBE = 2.5 for slow neutrons RBE = 10 for , protons, fast neutrons RBE = 20 for heavy ions
Water in our bodies is ionized forming free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive species that can cause unwanted cellular reactions.
1 rem = 1 rad x 1 RBE rem = roentgen equivalent for man
Biological Effects of Radiation
Single dose of 0-25 rem: no effect 025-100 rem: temporary blood cell 25changes 100-300 rem: radiation sickness; 100decrease in white blood cells 400-600 rem: 50% chance of death 400> 1000 rem: 100% chance of death

Set a Date
Choose a time when you know your motivation is high and there will few distractions. You may need to adjust your lifestyle. If, for instance, sitting at a bar during happy hour makes you crave a cigarette, skip the bar scene and go somewhere that doesn't allow smoking, such as a movie theater or a restaurant. Spend time with non-smokers.

In Steven Soderbergh's Las Vegas, gentleman thieves operate by a strict code of rules, as tight as snake eyes against the rails.
These laws of larceny were laid down in a handshake from Frank Sinatra and sealed with a kiss - a showgirl on one cheek, the Mafia on the other.
The main rule is that it's OK to be rich. Not just OK, but in fact, preferable to the alternative.
You just can't be a rich jerk. Rich jerks get taken down, by Danny Ocean's Eleven originally, now in "Ocean's Thirteen," and into the future indefinitely, until we get to "Four Score and Oceans."
This isn't a new idea, and "Ocean's Thirteen" suffers a bit from stale, presmoking-ban casino air. Andy Garcia was insufferable as Terry Benedict in "Ocean's Eleven," and now the job falls to Al Pacino, channeling Michael Corleone and the scent of Ellen Barkin into a smarmy casino CEO, modeled on legendary egomaniac Steve Wynn.
Even Soderbergh, with his impeccable sense of timing, can't direct us past the talkiness of "Thirteen's" first half. Clooney as Ocean and Brad Pitt as partner Rusty spend long minutes explaining the plot to a new recruit, played by Eddie Izzard.
Seems that Mean Willy Bank (Pacino) cut beloved mentor Reuben (Elliott Gould) out of their casino partnership on a magnificent new Strip hotel nearly ready to open. Reuben is heartbroken, literally, because Willy broke the rules and cheated a cheater.
"But the dice are controlled from the manufacturer to the floor," one reluctant crook complains.
"Which is why we went all the way to the manufacturer," Danny and Rusty explain. They send Casey Affleck and Scott Caan to load the dice at a Mexican factory, where, by the way, they foment revolution with a Zapata-influenced wage strike.
There's a lot to explain, including the last-minute addition of a diamond heist to the main casino action. And more hilarious, made-up con-game names from Soderbergh and screenwriters Brian Koppelman and David Levien. Can you get your job back after being fired? That would be "a Billy Martin." Letting the big gamblers win to ruin the casino? "Reverse Big Store." Creating a false earthquake scare? That would be "doing an Irwin Allen."
Once Soderbergh gets all his chips in a stack, though, it's all in from there to the end. His scams seem precise, even if we can barely understand them, and he knows how to give each character in this ever-expanding cast their due - underneath a fake mustache. Everybody gets a bad costume, so don't miss Don Cheadle channeling Eddie Murphy while dressed in a star-spangled Evel Knievel jumpsuit.
Barkin looks fabulous, all purring repression and push-up bras. She pinches a waitress' arm and fires her on the spot because her "body mass index" is all out of whack - such weight restrictions are legal, you see, because the crafty Willy hired them as "models who serve." Smart little touches like these keep us listening for dialogue even when the rest of the show is as over the top as Cirque de Soleil.
Pacino actually shows some restraint, giving his lines more bite: "Don't blame yourself," he tells one hapless minion, "we should have fired you a week ago."
As you watch the Ocean's franchise, remember that nearly everybody comes back to the roulette wheel for a sequel bet. I didn't catch any Julia Roberts cameos, but keep an eye out for everybody else who ever laid down a marker for Soderbergh. Just like being in Vegas itself, part of the fun of watching the movie is recognizing somebody who is famous for being in an earlier version of basically the same movie.
Some wisecracking critic will no doubt smirk that what was filmed in Vegas should have stayed in Vegas. But another one of those Soderbergh rules to live by is that everything "Oceans" is done for fun. If you're not having a good time, cash in your chips and walk away. Don't whine to management, and don't expect to be comped.
In Hollywood's version of Vegas, I'll have the surf, and the turf, and the vegetarian, and anything else Soderbergh wants to serve me.

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Get inspiration from the great outdoors and create super easy holiday crafts that will light up your space. Aleene's Wool Felt Christmas Trees Wall Art from Tiffany Windsor can be made in an afternoon with materials like felt and branches. The results are sure to make you smile.
Lay out the cork and felt to determine the placement before you begin your project. Apply glue directly to the felt and place felt on glued areas. Place trees on green felt and apply glue. Finally, add felt circles to the green trees for a layered effect. Cut two pieces of twin and glue them to the green felt. Tie the ends to the branch and hand your piece on a door or wall.
For a step-by-step tutorial of this project, check out Wool Felt Holiday Door Decoration.

North Carolina Capitol. (Courtesy of Flickr user Jim Bowen)
As Congress held hearings this week on whether to resurrect the heart of the Voting Rights Act, the North Carolina Senate introduced a harsh new voter ID law that could be passed in a matter of days. (See my new piece on the state's Moral Monday protest movement for how activists are resisting the GOP's agenda.)
The Senate version of the bill, posted today, is significantly tougher than the House bill passed in April. North Carolina was one of fifteen states subject to Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, which the Supreme Court recently ruled unconstitutional, so the state no longer needs to clear its voting changes with the federal government. North Carolina Republicans have acted accordingly, making a very bad law even worse.
According to the state's own numbers, 316,000 registered voters don't have state-issued ID; 34 percent are African-American and 55 percent are registered Democrats. Of the 138,000 voters without ID who cast a ballot in the 2012 election, 36 percent were African-American and 59 registered percent Democrats. The new draft of the bill does not allow student IDs for voting, making it among the most restrictive laws in the country. It's worth noting that voter fraud in the state, which the legislation purports to stop, is incredibly rare; there were only two alleged cases of voter impersonation between 2000 and 2010, when millions of votes were cast.
A number of other harsh voting restrictions—such as cutting early voting, ending same-day voter registration and penalizing the parents of students who vote where they go to school—could still be added to the bill or considered separately by the legislature before they leave for the summer. See my post "7 Ways North Carolina Republicans are Trying to Make it Harder to Vote" for more details.
Bob Hall of Democracy North Carolina passed on his notes of how the Senate bill is stricter than the House bill:
A) Cuts in range of acceptable photo IDs:
—NO college student IDs are acceptable (House allowed NC public universities and community college ID).
—NO out-of-state driver's license is acceptable unless you've just recently registered to vote (i.e., less than 90 days before the election where you're showing your ID). House allowed government photo IDs created by other states.

The Top Five
#1 "Ocean's Thirteen" ($37 million)
#2 "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" ($21.3 million)
#3 "Knocked Up" ($20 million)
#4 "Surf's Up" ($18 million)
#5 "Shrek the Third" ($15.8 million)
True gamblers know that winning isn't the hardest thing to do at a casino — anyone can get lucky once or twice — but try winning consistently. Those lush fountains? The gold-plated faucets? Miniature recreations of Venice, Paris and New York? Las Vegas wasn't built, and white tigers are not fed, with gamblers who regularly break the bank.
But whatever else George Clooney and the rest of his "Ocean's Thirteen" crew can be accused of, lack of consistency isn't among them. With $37 million, "Ocean's Thirteen" not only won the weekend (as the previous two films in the series both did), but won the weekend with striking constancy. Its $37 million haul was series' lowest, but not by much, falling right in line with the first film's $38.1 million opening and the second's $39.2 million bow. Maybe it didn't break $100 million like the three May threequels, but a consistent bet is a smart bet. These guys look like the smartest cats in Sin City.
Sinful is the only word to describe the chilly reception given to the animated "Surf's Up," a "Spinal Tap" for the Spongebob set, which disappointed with a fourth place finish. Perhaps it was because the mockumentary style flew over the heads of most children — who, after watching "Finding Nemo" for the 8 billionth time, don't likely pop in "Waiting for Guffman" — or because penguins finally have reached a critical mass, but the flick's $18 million opening, while respectable, fell on the very low end of animated debuts.
From "Surf's Up" to "Time's Up?" — could the weak opening for "Hostel: Part II," which came in sixth place with $8.8 million, signal the end of the torture-flick-as-horror endemic we've endured since "Saw"? The film is far from a failure, of course, particularly since the Splat Pack sequel only cost $10 million to make. But would it be speaking out of turn to say we hope if spells the end of Eli Roth's commitment to the genre? We think he's a super-talented director and can't wait to see what he can do with "Cell" and "Trailer Trash."
Among holdovers, "Pirates" continued to swirl the maelstrom, dropping 52 percent to land in second with $21.3 million. Its three-week total of $253 million continues to lag well behind "Dead Man's Chest." Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up," meanwhile, held on strong, coming in third with $20 million.
How'd We Do?
For the first time in a long time, this past weekend left our experts scratching their heads (and not just over how many zillions of dollars "Spider-Man the Third: At World's End" would make), enough that our participants didn't even agree on which movie would come out on top (see "Will George Clooney And Brad Pitt Mutilate Eli Roth This Weekend?" ). But while he was the only one to choose "Ocean's Thirteen" as the winner, we'd be remiss if we didn't also point out that our very own Josh Horowitz's overall predictions ("Pirates" will sink; "Knocked Up" will stay strong) were darn accurate as well. What are the odds that Larry or our celebrities catch Josh before the year is out? They'd have better luck with the prop bets at a craps table.

In Perspective
Who's the biggest star in "Ocean's Thirteen?" It's not George "The Perfect Storm" and "Batman and Robin" Clooney, or Brad "Troy" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" Pitt, but series third wheel Matt Damon, who not only has the highest cumulative gross of the three, but the highest opening weekend as well ("The Bourne Supremacy"). Not including the "Ocean's" flicks, here are Matt Damon's five most lucrative films:
#1 "Saving Private Ryan" ($216.5 million)
#2 "The Bourne Supremacy" ($176.2 million)
#3 "Good Will Hunting" ($138.4 million)
#4 "The Departed" ($132.4 million)
#5 "The Bourne Identity" ($121.7 million)
Next Week
Hell hath no fury like … a storm cloud? We'll find out next week with the release of "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," which will see the Richards clan battle Galactus, devourer of planets. The Silver Surfer's great and all, but we're waiting for part three, which will no doubt center on Beau Garrett as Frankie Raye, hottest girl on the planet in more ways than one. (She becomes the fiery Nova.) Also opening next week is "Nancy Drew" starring Emma Roberts.
Check out everything we've got on "Ocean's Thirteen,", "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and "Knocked Up".

Article Summary
The Nikon D600 was the first full frame DSLR aimed squarely at the enthusiast market, though it was admittedly quickly followed by the Canon 6D. It packs a large sensor into a compact body and comes in at a considerably cheaper price than previous full frame cameras. But is the D600 the right first step into the full frame world for current crop sensor shooters? I recently had the opportunity to spend a bit of quality time with one to find out.

LOCATION : Hancock Gorge, Karijini National Park, Western Australia
Photographing the wonders of Karijini National Park had been a dream of mine for many years. This park located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia really is something special. The park is filled with stunning gorges with hikes to suit different ability levels. The rich red rocks of the region are beautiful and have been carved into stunning gorges, with waterfalls, natural swimming pools and is filled with stunning reflected light on clear mornings/afternoons. It was that gorgeous warm reflected morning light I was becoming desperate for after 4 days of flat gray skies and heavy rain. The light to make the shot simply wasn't available. I had to wait it out and continue to hope that on at least one morning while I was there I would walk outside at 5am to see clear skies. After 4 days it looked promising. Although at 5:30am it was still quite cloudy, by sunrise it was clearing. Hancock is a spectacular gorge and a highlight in my eyes. A steep and rocky decent in, beautiful long pools that I waded through with my camera gear in my dry bag, a spider walk down a small waterfall and then passing the beautiful Kermit's Pool all before reaching this epic scene. This waterfall was rushing after the recent rain and the reflected light from the above gorge walls was filling the gorge with a beautiful glowing light. I was so thrilled that I got photograph this scene in all its glory! This was an amazing morning!

I asked my RI about what breed of horse she might possibly breed Razz to if she was going to (she's probably (hopefully) not going to until I'm done working with Razz, but she is the owner and can do what she wants to with her horse). Her answer was that she would either breed her to a Morgan, Friesian, or an Arabian.
Now I'm thinking about the part of an Arab and thinking, "Um.....an Arab? Would that be such a good idea?" while she's talking about how she would be able to get a half-Arab out of the mix. My first question is how would you get a half-Arab out of a Morgan/Friesian cross (in other words how does the whole Arab breeding process that defies what is and isn't and Arab or Arab cross work)?
My next question is what do you think the baby would look like (I'm talking about the Arab breeding)? When I talked to my neighbor about this, she said that I would either get a foal that has very fine Arab points (kind of like some of the newer looking Morgans) or a foal that isn't that great looking. What do you all think?
Now for those of you who don't know, Razz is a Morgan/Friesian cross (as stated above) and looks like this (she's the bay obviously)...

Best Road Bike Ride Up a Mountain (2008)
East Valle Vista Road, Phoenix
You may have heard about the hilltop residents who tried to block access to Valle Vista Road at the upper foothills of Camelback Mountain. Ticked-off homeowners said they were tired of speeders, loud noises, break-ins, public sex, and other high jinks sometimes committed by visitors to this scenic road.
But the city chose not to install roadblocks, and the nearby residents, in fact, reportedly never considered blocking access to bicyclists or pedestrians.
That's great news for cyclists, because although the streets are long in the Phoenix metro area, the whole town is fairly flat and not much of a challenge for you hill-climbing types with calves like bricks. Valle Vista Road, on the south side of Camelback Mountain, is a wonderful addition to any bike ride in the area. Getting to it is easy: Just head north on 56th Street or Arcadia Drive, both of which lead to the hill-hugging Valle Vista Road.
We like to link it to our longer, around-the-mountain ride. But it's also a nice ride for more casual riders in the Arcadia or downtown Scottsdale area. The steep grades always get us pumped, and the view is stellar. Despite the complaints by neighbors, we never see much going on up there during our rides. It's usually just a quiet, pretty view. Many times, we'll even feel a wisp of a mountain breeze that we didn't notice in the flatlands below.
If you go up at night, though, watch where you shine your headlamp or you might see something to complain about.

Gonna take her out for the maiden voyage tonight if this wind holds… very excited by this. As many of you know the little Mako rips with good winds but I was thinking the other day, it would likely also make a super fun wake skate as it would be so easy to carve and small to ollie.
I'll let you all know - and, if it's a success - expect to see properly made stick down deck pads as an optional purchase with next season's Mako Mini's!

Each layer of foam needed to be sanded smooth

That looks really sweet for sure! As an admitted beginner to kiteboarding my input should hold small value. That said I did come from a skateboard background so my one idea was probably unnecessary to voice being that this is an obvious prototype and I am sure it will be supper fun to ride. That said, what I have noticed in skateboarding was that sometimes to land a trick it is necessary to push prod or place your feet in areas of the board's surface that you would never expect. When I do purchase a wake skate type board it will need to have the eve foam grip extend past the edges of the norm. An ideal solution would be a flat tail to 60up to 45down(tail kick) to flat midsection to 45up(nose kick) to 60 down. This would allow for better foot grabbage and flippage etc. Just a thought. /shrug
Draz, we talked a lot about putting some foam grip on the nose and tail as well but I like your idea of having the foam rise to meet the kicked up tail sections rather than a pure drop off. I'm hoping to get out on this tonight to try it out but suspect you're right that an awkward landing might make me wish I had grip on those sections. I'll be sure to post my thoughts here so we can all follow along and I'll be sure to share the board locally with anyone else wanting to try it out!
(Now, if only the wind was to hold… it's dropping off right as we are wrapping up the work day here!)
I think the sloped lead in sections would provide more kickability/flipability to the wake skate feel than a pure dropped back kick(or front kick), maybe some other more credible skaters would like to weigh in with an opinion!
another idea would be that the mako has such a smooth look and (people who ride it say feel) to it to add a bit of a roller to the kick. So instead say a 45 up to 45 down tail for examplel have a 45 up to hump to 45 down to provide a nice place to wriggle your foot for that ollie kick flip or whatefver, the Mako is all about comfort etc right?
Draz, I really like that idea actually… 45 up, flat and 45 down. I wasn't able to get out on it last night but hope to be able to soon… we are staring at a bit of a lull in the winds though unfortunately but will keep this thread posted as I do but the more I think of it the more you're right, that solid sized hump would be sweet to have to push off of.
Dam… what a waste !!! such an incredible board… I don't understand…
Dam… what a waste !!! such an incredible board… I don't understand…
That board was actually a rather heavily damaged Mako Mini that we repaired to make into the wake skate… plus, go gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet!
