Bury the HatchetWashington-bred mare (b. 2004)By He's Tops-Snuggle TimeCareer (2006-2010): 41-6-3-6, $35,243Thoroughbreds normally aren't the best candidates for barrel racers. They have the speed but lack the sharp turning abilities due to their height and longer backs.Bury the Hatchet, however, is proving the exception for Chanel Olson at Lost Creek Ranch in Kalispell, Mont. The 21-year-old trainer said the 9-year-old mare is making great strides—literally and figuratively—as a barrel racer, and doubles as an exceptional pleasure horse on which aspiring riders take lessons."She's a good 16.1 hands," Olson said of Bury the Hatchet, whose nickname "Princess" was acquired during her racing days at Emerald Downs with trainer Greg Moore. "Everyone comments on how well she does (at barrel racing). She covers a lot of ground with those big strides."Those big strides helped Bury the Hatchet win six races from 2006-2010, and help explain why five of her victories were in races one mile or longer. The final victory was a 2 ¼-length romp at Emerald Downs on Sept. 5, 2009.
Moore acquired Bury the Hatchet via claim for an ownership group including his wife Ellen, brotherJames Moore, and sister, Anne Wisdom. He said the gray mare had a sweep disposition and quickly became a favorite at the barn."Whether she ran good or not, she became part of the family," Moore said. "She was the first horse to greet you every morning. After training, she'd remind you it was time for lunch. I've heard that everybody who's been around her has loved her.""We knew she'd have a career after racing. We knew we weren't going to run her anymore but still kept her in the barn pretty much the whole season, instead of turning her out at a farm. She was much happier in the track environment, around people."Olson, meanwhile, had practically grown up watching races at Emerald Downs and was familiar with many of the runners, including Bury the Hatchet. So naturally she was elated when her father acquired the horse from Moore for their new ranch in Montana. (Lost Creek Ranch is a boarding and training facility with some 30 horses, but only a handful of Thoroughbreds including Noble Juan, an allowance-winning sprinter also trained by Moore at Emerald Downs.)According to Olson, Bury the Hatchet is special. "She is wonderful with kids, and a fabulous lessons horse," she said. "Princess is a perfect nickname, she wants to be treated like one. She loves all of it…barrel racing, lessons, everything, she just loves to run."Wisdom isn't surprised to see Bury the Hatchet doing so well in Montana."She always loved kids and they had a great time loving her," Wisdom said. "She's the one Chanel uses to teach kids how to ride, she's perfect for that."

text: i was up hunting with my extra elk tag and called in a very excited young 5x. at first i thought it was other hunters i knew were up higher and the calls sounded fake so i backed out back to camp to see thier trucks were gone, so i headed straight back up to the same spot and blew on the cow call and sure enough he answered back. 5 min later he was real close screaming up a storm, he ran in and started mauling a small pine. i read him at 40 then he just layed down. just like that. whent from excited as all get out to laying down??? ive never seen this. i sat there forever waiting him out then finaly lost patince and tried moving slowly for a clear shot, he spotted me quicker than big jake with an 8 shooter and was gone. it was pretty cool though. this was also in the middle of the day, so early in the season without alot of rutting taking place yet, that kinda struck me as odd too. either way, its on boys! good luck.

Why The Internship Was A Hot Mess, According To Vince Vaughn
Even though theyve only led two comedies together, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilsons patter has warmed even the coldest of hearts. Wedding Crashers is regarded as the pinnacle of their on-screen chemistry, while their follow-up effort, The Internship, is viewed with less admiration. And even Vince Vaughn has admitted that the comedy was awash with problems.

Weekend Box Office: Audiences Prefer A Bad Purge To A Weak Internship
It was a familiar tune at the box office this weekend. A second rate, low budget, hardly worth your time horror flick raced to the top while a moderately interesting but poorly executed concept comedy (lead by two actors who are joining the ever growing group of middle age comedians struggling to find roles that match their age) floundered in with only modest success. All in all, there was a number one, but there were no winners.

The Purge Runs Wild On Way To Huge Friday At Box Office
The history of Hollywood is littered with low budget horror movies that wildly exceeded expectations. From Paranormal Activity to Saw, these films have not only generated incredible returns on initial investments, theyve launched lucrative franchises, and if this weekends early estimates hold up, it seems a new horror movie may add its name to that pool of brilliant and bloody successes.

The Internship's Great Google Debate: A Clever Location Is Not Product Placement
Locations are key in certain comedies. When a filmmaker is able to shoot in them to achieve authenticity, I dont think its product placement more of a happy marriage between a recognizable brand and a storyteller who needs their assistance to lend credence to the vision.

The Internship Is The Greatest Comedy... Of 2005
This weekend sees the long-awaited reteam of Wedding Crashers' stars Vince Vaugh and Owen Wilson in new comedy The Internship. But has it been too long awaited? Sure, the R-rated Wedding Crashers was a huge hit, not only scoring big with critics but also mounting a surprisingly huge box office total of $285 million worldwide. But that was eight summers ago. And some are saying this latest collaboration may as well have come out then.

Owen Wilson And Vince Vaughn Reunite In The Internship's First Trailer
When you look at Wedding Crashers from the outside, it really didn't look like much. Starring Vince Vaughn, who had just been in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Be Cool, and Owen Wilson, who had just come off Meet the Fockers and Around the World in 80 Days, it looked like a dumb comedy with an insane premise that could never work

Will Ferrell To Reunite With Wilson And Vaughn In The Internship
The cast of the upcoming Twentieth Century Fox comedy The Internship already looked like a mini-Wedding Crashers reunion (with a side of Starsky & Hutch), with Owen Wilson and VInce Vaughn set to team up in starring roles.

Autorama Extreme 1953Written by Chuck Vranas on July 1, 2010 The Autorama Basement Gives Us An Idea Of What Might Have Been
One of the many exciting festivities held during the Detroit Autorama takes place deep in the basement of Cobo Hall where Autorama Extreme 1953 is held. Taking the escalator ride to the lower level is your ride back in time. Walk through the glass doors and you are immediately aware of the dramatic change in venue as you begin to stroll through one of the coolest groupings of both lifestyle and cars in the country.
Promoters of the Autorama decided six years ago to transform the 100,000 square foot room into a place where devout traditionalists could call their own, with enough area to support over 200 of the coolest cars and motorcycles. Vendors are allowed in, hawking everything from classic threads to vintage parts, and scorching hot bands like Graveside Manner, Swingin' Demons, and the Twistin' Tarantulas delivered blazing sets throughout the weekend setting one heck of a block party in motion. Add in an amazing Artist's Alley, featuring some of the finest talents to be found (i.e. Keith Weesner, Max Grundy, Chad Lampert, and Ed Tillrock), and you have the makings of a memorable time. There was even a live pin-up contest, and an award ceremony with some of the hobby's most well-known faces handing out awards for their favorite picks. Any way you cut it, the Basement show is a hit, and you should make it a point to stop by and dig its vibe!
Traditional Becomes Tradition
Now in its sixth year, the Autorama Extreme, better known as "The Basement," has become a staple of the annual Detroit Autorama. It has seen a steady increase in growth, more than doubling since its inception. "The first year we had 73 entries, which included a number of bikes," Dennis Scott, co-chair of the Autorama Extreme, says. He continues, "This year we have 153 cars and 30 motorcycles. Plus we turned away 40 eligible cars and two whole clubs because we were out of space." (Editor's note: Cincinnati hot rodder Josh Shaw was another "spoke in the wheel" who brought about the first of several Basement get-togethers.)
In a year of many firsts, 2010 marked the inaugural appearance by a Canadian club: the Lead Kings. They also hold the title of being the first dedicated custom car club to show in the basement. "This is a big year for customs. We've been looking for a way to bring in more customs and the Lead Kings are a great start," Rudy Ruedisueli, co-chair of the Autorama Extreme, says. "They [customs] go hand in hand with traditional rods and we'd like to see more of them in the future."
Promoters of the show are also excited about another new feature of the basement, Artist's Alley, showcasing the for sale works of 10 traditional culture artists in various mediums, including paint, ink, pencil, marker, photography, metal sculpture, and computer-aided design. The Alley is the brainchild of Larry Filipczak and the artists themselves developed at last year's Hunnert Car Pileup. "A few of the artists and I were talking about a way to get them involved in the Basement at the Detroit Autorama and we came up with an alley idea. I originally planned to make it a part of my display (Singlefinger Speedshop Car Club) but Dennis Scott really took the ball and ran with it," Filipczak says. He continues, "It's about bringing culture to the basement, the lifestyle of traditional hot rodding."
Filipczak, the promoters, and the artists found the arrangement to be a win-win for all involved and look forward to the Artist's Alley growing in the future. Ruedisueli added, "While it's still and always will be a car show, this is a lifestyle, it's all art, and it's great to have the artists down here."
Promoters, participants, and spectators all agree the biggest change over the past six years has been the increase in the quality of the cars entered. Tim King of the Detroit Poor Boys has been showing with the club since the first year of the Autorama Extreme. "We've seen the quality of the cars go from rat rod to real traditional hot rods," King says. "There is a lot of innovative stuff down here, some stuff that really belongs upstairs." In addition to showing his car with his club, King (along with Roger Atwood and Stretch) is responsible for another specialty of the basement: homemade automotive-themed trophies. This year the three of them have roughly 40 hours invested in the 23 trophies that were awarded, each one unique, incorporating some part of the award into the trophy. King concluded, "It's fun finding the stuff to make the trophies out of. It's an art and we enjoy doing it."
In addition to hosting better cars, Ruedisueli also believes the clubs are raising the bar by making better club displays each year and debuting fresh builds. "With nearly 50 percent of the cars shown being club cars, they are getting more and more creative with their displays," Ruedisueli says. It's also the clubs that the promoters have come to depend on for new, fresh builds. "Seventy-five percent of the cars here are fresh builds, whether it be a totally new car or upgrades to an old one. I can always count on the So-What guys (eastern Pennsylvania) to bring new stuff and good cars to help bring the show to a better level," he says.
With the 2010 edition of the Autorama Extreme in the books, it's time to start building for next year. Will we see total traditional domination of the Basement? Time will tell.

It's quite charming. However, I do believe you mean "Manor" and "Scarfaced", not "Mannor" and "Scarefaced". Although, given the nature of the map, it may be meant to be the work of a poor-spelling pirate or explorer, in which case leave as is.
Hi all,
This is my 1st map, not the best, but not bad for my 1st try at it.
Comments / Suggestions welcome. (Be gentle on me, it's my 1st time)

I dig it. I think the squid and ship kind of detract from it cuz they look a bit cartoony.

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
My advice, FWIW is that getting good, rather than passable results with CC is hard. It's just too tempting to throw in lots of symbols which are not quite consistent in colour or theme, or line strength etc. CC has a real danger of making one not see these things because it's just a little too easy to pop a symbol in which doesn't quite fit.
Don't get me wrong, CC is a great piece of software and I've seen some maps done in CC2 (let alone CC3) which are real stunners, but those have been by people who have had a good idea of the end result they wanted to achieve, knew the limitations of the software they were using and worked hard to create the results they wanted.
I love the 'Skull Island' theme of your map, but the colours and symbols used don't tell the story to me that it has been drawn by pirates (although the labels do). All this doesn't matter if you are happy with it of course and it serves the purposes you want it to. For me a pirate map, drawn by pirates would have a much more handdrawn feel, ink bleeding into parchment, stains etc.
Just my 2p, and it IS possible (I believe) to get the feel you want in CC3 much more so than CC2 (which is what I used many moons ago). My only advice with CC is don't get seduced by the easy option and consider making your own symbols. You can always re-use them, but most of all...try to make the map consistent in feel and to tell a story - and try to get the feel and story of the map to mesh together. Get those two things right and you're well on the way to making great fantasy maps.
It's a really hard trick to pull off but if you can do it, you've made it!
Thank you for your comments etc... I really do appreaciate them.
For someone that cant draw alick, CC2 or 3 is perfect for me. I'm not aiming to be a pro at this, I just want to draw a map and use it in my D&D games.
I also do understand what you said about the symbols. And yes, it's easy to just "plop" them in. I'll keep an eye out on the colors and line sharpness you mentioned.
Thank you

Phew, glad you didn't take my comments as too brutal. It's not just about the colou rand line strength...it's about developing an eye for which elements work together and which don't. (I don't have this ability of discrimination, but when you see it done right it's just so obvious. - Ramah's maps are a case in point).
I see you play Traveller. I have a few deckplans I made for that game as well.
The Manta - is from the Classic Traveller Adventure 10 Safari Ship.
Newton - was a design I saw online someplace, and decided to put it in CC2.

Ah yes, I noticed you were a traveller player! Nice deckplans. Cosmographer is one of the better add-ons to CC2 and it works particularly well for Traveller.
I've got a deckplan knocking around somewhere on this site from a long time ago..here it is.

Dyllan Tiburzi discusses his poster Greening the Wittig and other reactions for the undergraduate organic teaching laboratory of research he conducted with Dr. Morsch. Troy Kramer presented work with Dr. Klinhshirn titled Greener analogs of the bis-(pyridine)iodine(I) nitrate salt.
2012 Outstanding Student Research Thesis Award for Hillary Rikli '12
In 2012, senior chemistry major Hillary G. Rikli received the inaugural Outstanding Student Research Thesis Award for her work with Dr. Stephen R. Johnson, a neuropharmacologist. Gifts to chemistry helped fund this award.
Hillary first contacted Dr. Johnson in the summer after her junior year. She knew from a previous class that his research involved venom and their potential for therapeutic drug development.
"He talked about his research often," Hillary says. "He was very, very passionate about it, so I knew I wanted to work with him. Now I'm so glad I did."
Dr. Johnson decided to involve Hillary on his bullet ant research. The notorious bullet ant's painful sting causes pain comparable to being shot. According to the Schmidt Pain Index, the bullet ant's sting ranks as the most painful in the insect world. Hillary also worked with the venom from wasps, scorpions, and spiders.
Hillary's work in research has sparked her to continue her education in graduate school as she hopes to further develop her skills and knowledge for pharmaceutical development.
More than a job, however, Hillary's research with Dr. Johnson elevated her ability to lead. "Every student has responsibilities," she says, "but they fulfill those to reach their personal goals. Doing undergraduate research, I had to be responsible for Dr. Johnson. This was his research, and I had to be independent and responsible for his sake. I'm a better leader because of that."
Dyllan Tiburzi '14 and Dr. Morsch presentation at BCCE 2012
Dyllan Tiburzi, a junior in the chemistry department presented the results of his research project, "Using Aqueous Wittig Reactions to Teach Green Organic Chemistry " at the 22nd Biennial Conference on Chemical Education at Penn State University July 30, 2012 with Dr. Layne Morsch. His coauthors included past chemistry majors Brittney Meyer ('12) and Harrison Schuster ('12) as well as current junior Leanne Deak. Dr. Morsch is an assistant professor of organic chemistry.
Aubrey Watson presentation at ACS 2012
Senior chemistry major Aubrey Watson presented the results of her research project, "Zero Valent Iron Nanoparticle (nZVI) Preparation by a Sustainable Method and Application in Bacterial Denitrification" at the 243rd national meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Diego on March 27. Her coauthors included chemistry senior James R. Johnson, and alumni Stephanie Gorsuch ('10) and Nicole Vanderpool ('10) . Ms. Watson and Mr. Johnson also presented their results at UIS StARS on April 13. Their faculty mentor is Dr. Keenan E. Dungey, associate professor and chair of chemistry.
Congratulations to the 2011 Chemistry Graduates!
Kimberly Bartosiak, a senior majoring in chemistry at UIS, has received the Student Laureate Award for 2010 from the Lincoln Academy of Illinois.
The Lincoln Academy's Student Laureate Awards are presented for excellence in curricular and extracurricular activities to seniors from each of the four-year, degree granting colleges and universities in Illinois.
"These students have exhibited a personal commitment to excel as seen by their remarkable academic accomplishments," said Thomas S. Johnson, Chancellor of the Lincoln Academy, who added, "They serve as role models to other Illinois students. With hard-working and dedicated young leaders such as these, Illinois and the rest of the nation can look forward to a bright future."
Kimberly was one of 48 students to be honored in a ceremony in the Old State Capitol State Historic Site in Springfield on Nov 6. Each winner received a Student Laureate Medallion, an honorarium and a certificate of achievement. The event marked the 36th year that students have been honored by the academy.
Kimberly got involved in research as a Merck Scholar working on a collaborative project with biology and chemistry at the Emiquon Field Station and various other lakes throughout central Illinois. She presented this work at the AAAS conference and UIS Science Symposium in 2009. Since then, she has continued in research in a Neuropharmacology lab at the Southern Illinois University Medical School, working on determining the composition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors within a specific nucleus of the brain. She received the Hemal Vakharia Memorial Award for this work. She is currently focusing on determining the morphology of neurons in a region of the brainstem.
Kimberly was a two time recipient of the Avery Brundage student athlete scholarship, while she played volleyball at UIS. Kimberly has also been involved with community service. While at UIS she has spent time serving at St. John's Breadline and mentored underprivileged junior-high and high school girls. She currently volunteers regularly as a Samaritan at St. John's Hospital.
Ms. Bartosiak is currently applying to medical schools and plans to specialize in either neurology or neurosurgery.
The UIS chemistry department offers many opportunities for its students – academically, professionally, and socially.
Students who wish to receive more individualized advice regarding their education and future career path are encouraged to speak with a faculty advisor.
All students work actively with instructors to ensure that their coursework and other pre-professional activities will increase their chances of success after graduation.
Chemistry students are also encouraged to participate in fun and active social organizations, like the UIS Chemistry Club.

Holy shit balls batman, Rammstein has been set for their first US show in ten years.
Dec 11, NYC
I might just go to that. But it'll be -50 and there'll be more people there then anyone could imagine. This will be their biggest show for the tour, no doubt.
The reason is that when heartless says something stupid, he really means it and believes it.
They refer to me as an uneducated barbarian. Yes, we are barbarians. We want to be barbarians, it is an honored title to us. We shall rejuvenate the world. This world is near its end.

Hi all,
Please share with me what you have been or did feed your 9-12 mos old. DD is not a huge eater. She still has about 24-28 oz of formula a day, but I feel like other food is somewhat of a struggle. I've been giving her purees since she was 6 mos old. Some jarred, some homeade. Some days she is into it, some days not-so-much. I have two friends who did baby-led weaning (no purees, big chunks of food from 6 mos on), and after doing research, I am just not comfortable with it.
DD has started eating finger foods (muffins, pancakes, bits of fruit and veggie, bread, hummus, ground turkey, etc) but I find myself concerned about her calorie intake. For instance, she had 6 oucnes this morning, then a jar of pears, some cheerios and little bit of muffin. Am I stressing too much? Now that I look at what I have written down, that is a pretty good breakfast for a 9 mos old.
She has her 9 month appt today so I will be having an in-depth discussion with her pedi about it, but would love to get your opinions. Thanks!!

Heath Ledger (1979–2008)
When hunky, twenty-year-old heart-throb Heath Ledger first came to the attention of the public in 1999, it was all too easy to tag him as a "pretty boy" and an actor of little depth. He spent several years trying desperately to sway this image, but this was a double-edged sword. Heath Ledger was born on the fourth of April 1979, in Perth, Western ... See full bio »

Tallahassee, FL - January 13, 2013
Florida's new education commissioner comes to the state with a reputation as a hard-charging, union-battling advocate for change from his time as Indiana schools chief.
Tony Bennett's policies were similar to those pushed in Florida by former Gov. Jeb Bush.
Bush is a friend and supporter of Bennett's. Their shared agenda includes private school vouchers, charter schools, tough accountability standards, high-stakes testing and teacher pay based on annual evaluations.
But Bennett's style didn't sit well with Indiana voters. In November, they voted the Republican out of office after one term.
Bennett may fare better when he begins his new job on Monday. Florida already has adopted many of the changes he had fought for in Indiana.

Lots of good info on here. I do pretty much everything that has already been stated, plus.........sprints.
Only way to mimic the adrenaline rush/physical stress of a monster behind your pin. Ill run a sprint as fast as I can (however far/fast it takes to get your heart rate spiked). Than take the shot. Great way to get in the habit of doing body relaxing exercises (breathing, etc), and its just good exercise.


text: Seedhack creates fertile ground for health and finance apps Business 28 September 11 by Julian Benson SeedHackSeedHack The weekend of 23 September saw developers from all over Europe come to the London Business School to take part in the first ever Seedhack: an event that aims to bring together designers, programmers, and businessmen to create software from scratch in just 48 hours, with the goal of spawning a new batch of startups.It was organised by the accelerator company Seedcamp, who mentor promising startups whilst presenting them to potential investors around the globe. Throughout the weekend Seedcamp workers taught participants skills such as how to effectively pitch a project and how to form a balanced team.The event kicked off on the Friday with speakers from organisations such as the NHS, Microsoft, and Facebook talking about areas in their work that the developers could focus on improving. They also took the opportunity to show off some of the exceedingly cool tech they have to play with.Facebook engineer Simon Cross, exhausted from the previous nights announcement and implementation of Open Graphs at f8, showed off the ease in which programmers could strip out, and play with, data from user's profiles. He demonstrated how, with a few simple search codes, a programmer had access to a friend's activity on, and off, the site. Developers could then use this data to create a new site where users would log in and have, for example, films suggested to them based onwhat their friends had liked on Facebook and other sites, such as IMDB.Matt Ballantine from Microsoft, responding to an article that ran recently on BBC News, warned the audience that bespoke software is extremely likely to hit a project-ruining issue. In many cases, software designed to solve for multiple problems ends up having to be significantly redesigned, or scrapped entirely, so it's often better to aim small, and address a single issue, than create an all-encompassing solution.The most interesting talk from Richard Stubbs of the NHS. He laid out the in-house difficulties the NHS has in adopting new technology -- it needs new systems that are in line with modern technology. It's rare to hear heads of industry publicly acknowledge their internal flaws. Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, founder of Patients Know Best, explained how the NHS had shifted its focus to simple direct apps that patients could use. Previously, the NHS had tried implementing software to be used nationwide, but the problem was that by the time it was in doctor's hands it would be out of date and not specific enough to suit their needs. Their talk echoed the Ballantine's warning of bespoke software from earlier that evening. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

I guess Open SuSE has been dropped altogether from supported OS's. The 10.3 RFE has been changed to "WONTFIX". The product portal shows only ES.
Does this bother any SuSE users? Not that it matters.
I guess I have no more use of ZCS or this site. I can't believe I've spent so much time with Zimbra only to get ditched. This is low. Guess it's time to start over with something else.
In my world, MS can buy Yahoo and kill Zimbra. The point is moot now.

Bessel Panel
Application ID: 1372
The Bessel panel is a way to arrange a number of loudspeakers so that the angular sound distribution resembles that of a single speaker.
This model combines five Bessel panels in the same pattern to approximate a purely radial sound field. The speakers are driven with different signals, some of them in counter-phase. This results in an approximately homogeneous polar far-field distribution.
In this 3D model, the GMRES solver with the Geometric Multigrid preconditioner is used to ensure low memory consumption at a high mesh resolution.

Social media makes it socially acceptable to be super-intense about our favorite things—I'm talking singing-with-our-eyes-closed passionate about our favorite foods, pictures of dogs frolicking in leaves, workout routines, limited edition action figure collections, and especially TV shows.
People are watching more TV than ever—35.6 hours per week according to a Nielsen estimate. That's an average of 5 hours per day. Yikes. Recently, a spate of sites similar to Foursquare have cropped up in response to our ravenous entertainment appetites allowing users to "check in" to their fave shows. Like checking into a restaurant or bar on Foursquare, these sites—Miso, Getglue, Philo, Comcast's Tunerfish, and IntoNow—enable users to let friends know what show their boob tube is dialed into in real time. The Intonow app, kind of like Foursquare and Shazam's love child, lets users check into a specific episode by having their Smartphone listen to the program on TV. The goal of all these sites, of course, is creating connections—connecting show watchers to each other and to new content.
Another way to up the ante on our favorite shows is through social viewing. At Adweek's Targetcast-hosted discussion Phoenix Rising: How Technology is Transforming Foundational Media, panelists presaged that social viewing would be the next big thing. Gabbing to your best friend on the phone after the show's over? So archaic—nostalgic as a Rockwell painting! Social Viewing sites like Paltalk enable people in different locations to watch the same video at the same time AND chat about it. Paltalk offers video chat rooms, which they refer to as screening rooms. The screening room streams the same video to all attendees and enables them to chat. With social viewing sites, there's no need to mentally file away that witty commentary for later—viewers can share their shock, outrage, laughter, sadness, and elation in real time too.

Solar Oven Society
this wiki
Last updated: March 14, 2016
The Solar Oven Society is the work of a Minneapolis couple, Mike and Martha Port, supported by an army of volunteers, has made possible the creation of a relatively low cost solar oven for use both in the US and in poor nations. The Ports have been active in solar cooking for many years, having worked in Jamaica, Haiti, and Central America. Originally they worked with wooden or cardboard box cookers, but have spent the last five years in development of a slant front cooker made out of recycled soda bottles. The result is both light in weight and less expensive than those made of other materials. The ovens can be assembled in their Minnesota headquarters (which also serves as incubator for a number of small non-governmental organizations) and can also be shipped unassembled along with all equipment needed for assembly in other sites.
The Ports sell cookers on the US market, earning a profit, which is then used to subsidize shipments to poorer countries. Four hundred cookers have been sent to and assembled in Afghanistan, creating jobs for workers there, and are now in the process of being sold along with the appropriate training in solar use.
The new cooker, called the Sport, holds two pots. An optional reflector that will increase its cooking power in colder weather is in production. This oven was intended to help fill the gap between the low priced cardboard cooker sold by Solar Cookers International (the CooKit) and the considerably more expensive wood or metal box cookers, thus meeting a clear market need.
News and recent developments
- October 2011: The Solar Oven Society reports they have introduced over 1000 people to solar cooking since they began teaching in 1989, and have provided solar cookers in the thousands worldwide.
- August 2011: The Rural Renewable Energy Alliance and Solar Oven Society teamed up to teach campers from the Conservation Corps Minnesota all about the power of the sun.
- July 2010: Primary school pupils in four districts in Tanzania will benefit from the use of solar cookers distributed by an institution called Solar Oven Society (SOS) Africa. A total of 240 solar cookers will be distributed to primary schools in the four districts. The use of the cookers will reduce unscrupulous tree felling. Schools to get solar cookers

- April 2005: The Solar Oven Society (SOS) shipped 300 Sport Solar ovens to Nicaragua. The project was funded by St. Edwards Catholic Church, Bloomington, MN. Volunteers from St. Edwards, along with group leader Sue Kellett, went to Nicaragua to oversee and help train, assemble and distribute the ovens. Andrew Knutson, staff member for the Solar Oven Society, also went to Nicaragua.

Dear Editor:
The election is over and it's time to talk about the thing we actually voted for as a country.
The truth is we voted for taking from the "rich" and giving to the "poor." The result will be that the "rich" continue to avoid investing in risk assets and business and continue investing in tax-free assets or other countries. The result will be fewer jobs, a lower stock market, and lower tax revenues. We voted for health care, but the result will be a small business community that drops its health care and puts its employees in the exchanges. The resulting change in health care coverage will shock most.
We voted against the banks and Wall Street. The result will be fewer loans, more regulations, and literally no hope for loans for the bottom third of the country. Further, the layoffs coming on Wall Street will result in lower tax revenues and a larger tax burden on the middle class.
We voted for higher deficits and debt -- period. We voted for higher interest rates in the long run. We voted against success and for apathy. We voted for class warfare and the results will be exactly that. We voted for bigger government, even if we think we didn't. We voted for environmental reform without any consideration for the economic repercussions. We voted for social freedom at the expense of economic freedom. We voted for the middle class, but will cripple it with higher prices, fewer jobs, worse health care, and lower take home pay.
Sorry to break it to you, but the unintended consequences of this election are going to eat our lunch because we voted for a free one.

Kathy Stewart, wtop.com
WOODBRIDGE, Va. – A Leesburg woman was one number shy of winning a Powerball jackpot estimated at $216 million but she still took home a $1 million consolation prize.
Norma Chhaunkar picked up her winnings Friday afternoon at the Virginia Lottery's north office in Woodbridge.
She had matched the first five numbers in the March 16 Powerball drawing. Chhaunkar says her husband teased her asking why she didn't hit all six numbers.
"Oh my God, I am very happy," she said nervously to a group of reporters.
A wife and mother of two children, Chhaunkar works at a Giant supermarket deli in Leesburg. Despite the seven-figure check, she says she stills feels poor.
She's not alone in this winner's circle. A Fredericksburg couple won a $217-million Powerball jackpot last month. For them, it was a sweet Valentine's Day as they picked up their winnings. They opted for a one-time cash payment of $136 million before taxes.
"Powerball is very hot in Virginia right now," says Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty.
Hagerty says it's unusual in Virginia to have both a Powerball jackpot winner and a million-dollar winner within about a month of each other.
Wednesday, Virginia Lottery officials announced that a Sterling man won $1 million on a scratch-off ticket he bought at 7-Eleven in Annandale.

The spam filtering in Zimbra is a bit perplexing to me. I find it often lets very obvious spam pass through, while blocking legitimate emails from my bank or newsletters I subscribe to or whatever. I've done some poking about, and was hoping someone could answer some questions for me.
First, here is an example of a message I just received, which passed through (I've removed some of the irrelevant headers and personal data):

I've never seen it correctly identify anything - it typically will mark messages like this as innocent and often marks legitimate emails as spam, which greatly throws off the score.

Second, for my settings, i have Kill/Tag set at 66/20, and here are my MTA settings:
Are these good settings? The RHSBLs are new with Zimbra 8, can someone recommend some good values for those? What are they for?
Finally, I wanted to make sure that the settings were being set in Postfix properly, but when I dump the values with postconf, I see this:
It looks like the setting is getting truncated due to some character limit... is this a limitation of the postconf command, or is the actual setting within Postfix being chopped?

Bruno Mars Concert Tickets
Bruno Mars: Unorthodox Jukebox
At age 27, Bruno Mars is already a bonafide pop legend with a Grammy Award, millions of sales and songs at the top of the charts. Now you can see him on tour in support of his second album Unorthodox Jukebox with Bruno Mars concert tickets!Bruno Mars: Doo-Wops & Hooligans
After serving as a producer for some of the biggest names in hip hop, Bruno Mars is ready for his close up. He's one of the year's hottest acts and everyone is saying he's one of the most exciting performers to come up in a long time. With hits like Grenade and Just the Way You Are you know that Bruno is ready to please the crowd. And with his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans being one of the highest-selling albums of the year its easy to see why he's taking the industry by storm.
About Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars was born and raised in Hawaii, with the real name of Peter Gene Hernandez on October 8, 1985. Music was in his blood, as Bruno's family had a rich musical tradition. In fact, growing up Bruno performed concerts with his family band, entertaining tourist to Hawaii.
Bruno Mars: The Beginning
With a head start in the music industry, the singer-songwriter and music producer moved to Los Angeles when he finished high school. Bruno Mars scored a solo deal with Motown Records, however, the deal was not great for the young musician and the label had trouble marketing their newest star. Instead, Bruno Mars switched gears to concentrate on producing. That's right, Bruno started his professional career in music as a producer. He produced songs for other artists as part of the Smeezingtons production team, alongside Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. As part of the group he also found a way to showcase his melodic voice. The Smeezingtons have worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including working on B.o.B.'s Nothin' On You and Right Round by Flo Rida. Bruno Mars and the Smeezingtons have also worked with Justin Bieber, Kid Cudi, Cee Lo Green, Matisyahu and many more. After leaving Motown Records he moved on to Atlantic Records, and that's where his story really picks up steam. Bruno first started getting the attention of the mainstream for his melodic backup vocals on Nothin on You as well as Travie McCoy's Billionaire.
In October of 2010 he released his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans and Bruno's place among the stars of music was cemented. The album exploded onto the music scene, reaching as high as #3 on the Billboard charts. Featuring the radio hits Just the Way You Are and Grenade, the album was one of the biggest hits of 2010. The album Doo-Wops & Hooligans was nominated for seven Grammy's and Bruno Mars took home the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance award. The New York Times called it "an effortless, fantastically polyglot record that shows him to be a careful study across a range of pop songcraft."
Bruno Mars: On the Come Up
Bruno Mars is primarily of Puerto Rican and Filipino descent, a aspect that has had a deep impact on his musical career. His first EP was "It's Better if You Don't Understand," the tittle of which reflects his mixed heritage. Growing up in Hawaii, Bruno Mars would entertain audiences, impersonating Elvis and more. "I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family."
Drawing form a huge pool of influences, the music of Bruno Mars makes him one of the most unique artists out there today. He counts Elvis and Michael Jackson as two of the biggest influences on his musical development. When you are bobbin' your head at a Bruno Mars concert, you might hear the influence of reggae music and Motown in his bold musical style.

Ann Arbor, MI (Sports Network) - Trey Burke scored 18 points and No. 2
Michigan overcame an off-shooting night to earn a 62-47 victory over Nebraska
at the Crisler Center and match the best start in program history.
Tim Hardaway Jr. added 15 points and 11 rebounds to help the Wolverines (16-0,
3-0 Big Ten) obtain only their second-ever 16-0 beginning and first since
1985-86. Glenn Robinson III and Nik Stauskas contributed 14 and 13 points,
respectively, to the triumph.
Robinson made good on 5-of-6 field goal attempts, but Michigan prevailed
despite shooting a season-low 38.9 percent as a team and hitting just 3-of-17
tries from 3-point range. The 62 points were also the fewest netted by the
Wolverines this season.
Nebraska (9-7, 0-3) shot only 33.3 percent, however, en route to its third
straight loss to open its conference schedule. Ray Gallegos paced the
Cornhuskers with 19 points and Dylan Talley had 12 in the setback.

Sailing - never goes as planned. We were lifted out of the water a couple of days ago and have found a free internet facility in the town where you can have 30mins or more like in Vila real unless someone else arrives wanting a computer.
What an adventure the trip from Mazagon was, we ended up at midnight outside the Faro entrance and I think we did a great job of negotiating the entrance channel in the dark, avoiding the many sandbanks. Our chart let did not show the marina entrance well so we decided to anchor outside the Marina Formosa boatyard. Steve decided to take off the new anchor as he did not want to risk trying it out for the first time in the dark and in an anchorage unknown to us. We had bought a New Zealand design Rocna anchor with a reputation of setting within a metre as it has a roll bar on it so it always moves into the correct position, the video clip were very impressive. While he set about changing anchors I steered us round in a circle and this attracted the attention of Claus, a Swedish guy living on a boat in the marina who had just returned form a party, it was about 01.30 by now. E radioed and asked if we would like to come into the marina and he came out in his dingy and lead us in to his friends empty berth in the marina. We were exhausted and so thankful, we laughingly offered him and his girlfriend a drink and they came aboard. We had a really interesting chat and he told us that we would probably have a visit from the marina staff early wanting us to move on. At about 1.30 we all turned in.
The next day the marina staff paid a visit and as they didn't speak English and our Portuguese was zero the conversation was tricky until Claus came to assist and persuaded them to let us stay for another night as we were definitely going to be lifted the next day at 12.30. We offered to pay but apparently he could not charge us - makes a change! At 11.30 the next day we were having a cuppa in the cockpit and looked across to the other side of the marina to see the taller, more hostile marina official waving madly at us and mouthing what we interpreted as "go away". Olhao has a reputation of being unfriendly to yachtsmen and no one gets to moor in the main marina except locals and also in the "pool" type one where we were. Claus had been living aboard his boat there for 5 years paying very little for no facilities. Rubbish was dumped in the bins near the market on the front and he used to go by dingy across the marina to fill up bottles from a tap. Lots of fishermen with small, open boats shared the marina.
Above - the anchorage outside the boatyard.
Things are not going to plan and we are going to have to return to the UK for family reasons so Steve has booked us in to be lifted out at Olhao till the end of August, which is not all bad as we are melting in the heat. So we will set off from Mazagon tomorrow, then to Olhao.
05/06/09 Off again
We left Lagos feeling a little more positive towards it than before. The free Wifi access was intermittent but better than Ayamonte where you could pay, which Peter and Joyce did, but they had found that the signal was not brilliant unless they were in the cockpit but got better at night or 4am in the morning. We had gone to the Lotita bar run by an English couple. They had lovely big comfy settees and a big screen for the Six Nations Rugby and free internet if you bought a drink, which sadly was a little more expensive than most Spanish bars.
Lagos had been very lively and the noise from the various bars went on well into the early morning hours which did not bother us as we are night owls and were sometimes in one of the bars but not responsible for the noise. Most noise came from the South bar and Lazyjacks where they had "Live Music" every night in a bar which in warm weather was completely open so the sound travelled easily. One night a week they had an "open mike" session - no comment! We went to the Portuguese Amuras bar which had lovely décor and comfy seats with a band on Friday and Saturday nights but the noise was minimal outside as it could be enclosed. However I would not like to be on a pontoon so close if I over-wintered in the marina as it could get irritating.
We set off westwards again planning to drop in briefly to provision in Ayamonte
Jack and I decided to go on a ride on the "little train" that takes you through the town and up to the cliffs. You can catch the train outside the marina office and then there are 3 other stops. We decided to get out at Ponta da Piedade, the last one. You can stay all day at a stop or move on as the train returns every hour, the ride was very bumpy. As the train didn't stop at stop 2 we got confused and didn't get off at the last stop so as the train began its descent we realised our error. Of course looking at the route plan later on I remembered that no one had been waiting at stop 2 and as it was in the town the driver realised that no one would want such a short trip. We consoled ourselves with a toasty and an ice-cream sundae.
The train comes down this road and gives this view of the Fort and Meia Praia. (beach)
On one of my numerous walks up the hill to see Jack I snapped one of the many stork nests. They are very versatile and have seen them on top of allsorts including electricity pylons, sometimes 2 or 3 nests if they are big ones.
We are enjoying the sun and company here but are a bit disappointed with sailing conditions which seem too reminiscent of our experience sailing through the Med when we took Kaivalya home to the UK - too much or too little wind. Sue warned us not to go out if we can hear the waves breaking on the beach in the marina as it can get very uncomfortable sailing in the bay as waves seem to funnel into the bay and reflect off the cliffs.
Shopping here easy as there is a Ecomarche over the bridge about 500m away and a Pingo Doce in the opposite direction a little further away. Elsewhere in the town there is Lidl and Intermarche. There is a covered market on the front and another smaller Saturday one, next to the Bus station opposite the bridge.
There are lots of twisting and often steep streets in the town filled with bars, restaurants and small shops selling all sorts of things. Steve visited the chandlery in the boatyard - expensive of course but there is another useful DIY/iron mongers up the hill from Lidl. Fortunately there is a book swap here in the Marina Laundrette so we can change some of our books.

How do I learn Dvorak typing in Ubuntu? I have Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm planning to learn one of the Swedish dvorak versions. It's included in ubuntu 10.04.
My question is: Is there a good program to learn dvorak (sv)? I've linked the version that I want to learn and I really need a picture of the keyboard setup. Because I can't see the layout at the moment.
ktouch doesn't support my version of dvorak, and klarvo doesn't show a picture of the keyboard.

ĀĀĀ DETROIT -- The theory behind the Lions' two town-hall meetings with season-ticket holders Monday and today was to connect with fans, introduce them to the organization's new coach and management team, and prove they're committed to winning.
ĀĀĀĀFor some fans the gesture worked. For others it didn't. "I thought it went really well," said Lonnie Brown of Waterford. "I really liked what they had to say (Monday). I think they got a gameplan now."
ĀĀĀĀSaid Chris Sobocinski of Livonia, "Everything that Tom Lewand said, it sounded like a salesman's pitch, like he was trying to sell me something. And after all these years of watching the Lions, especially the past eight years, I'm not buying it. Especially when he's been part of the problem for the past 15 years, how is he going to be part of the solution now?"
ĀĀĀĀBrown and Sobocinski were two of about 400 fans that attended the hour-long question-and-answer session in the atrium of Ford Field.
ĀĀĀĀQuestions were submitted before the program and asked by moderator Dan Miller, the Lions' play-by-play voice, as team president Lewand, general manager Martin Mayhew and head coach Jim Schwartz sat on a dais.
ĀĀĀĀNo one promised a Miami Dolphin-like turnaround after the NFL's first ever 0-16 season, but Lewand, in reference to the Matt Millen-Rod Marinelli era, said "unequivocally, we're going to do this the right way."
ĀĀĀĀ"You're building it for the long haul so that when you get it right it stays right," Lewand said. "Jim talked about consistency, that's what you're going to see week in and week out. Not a 38-point blowout one week, hanging in there until the end in another week, trying to come back from a 21-point first-quarter deficit another week. That can't happen. If you build it the right way, then week in, week out you give yourself a chance.
ĀĀĀĀ"We have to build it that way so that we have the kinds of confidence from top to bottom throughout the organization and throughout that locker room so that if we're at a position again like we were a few years ago where we're 6-2, it's not, 'Oh my God how did we get here?' It's, 'OK, we expected that. We're going to take this a week at a time, a day at a time, and we're going to do this the right way.' "
ĀĀĀĀWhen one fan, through Miller, asked why he should keep his season tickets next year, Schwartz said, "Don't get rid of your tickets because if you do, in a couple years you won't be able to get them back."
ĀĀĀĀAmong other subjects the trio tackled:
ĀĀĀĀMayhew said the Lions will take the best player available and not target a certain position at the top of the draft. "We don't have a whole lot of areas where we have a great degree of talent," he said.
ĀĀĀĀLewand said Tom Condon, the agent for Georgia quarterback Matt Stafford, the potential No. 1 overall choice, called him Monday and "was very eager to let me know that Matt Stafford had selected him as his agent and did I need any information he'd be happy to provide it. If I wanted to go down to Georgia to meet the family we could do that, too."
ĀĀĀĀIn a sign that some highpriced veterans will be looking for work elsewhere next year, Lewand said that "depending on some of the moves that we make with players that are currently on our roster, we expect somewhere in the neighborhood of roughly $35 million of salary-cap room." The Lions are believed to have between $26-$28 million in cap space currently. Cornerback Leigh Bodden, who's due an $8.6-million roster bonus next month, is one candidate to be released.
ĀĀĀĀLewand hinted that changes to the uniforms and leaping Lion logo will be coming, though maybe not until the 2010 season. Uniform changes for this year had to be submitted last November. "Stay tuned," Lewand said. He also said the Lions could one day return to hosting training camp at a remote location.
ĀĀĀĀSchwartz closed with a promise to keep the Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit. "We're going to put a barb-wire fence around that Thanksgiving day game," he said to loud applause. "I'm not going to have people around the country talking about taking that game away from us."

Good morning and welcome to our witnesses and everyone joining us today.
This morning we'll be talking about human trafficking and transnational organized crime – what are the links and how do we fight them?
In 1998 I introduced the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, and not long after that chaired this commission's first hearing on human trafficking. At that time, the idea that human trafficking existed and was widespread was met with a wall of skepticism and opposition. People, whether in government or not, thought the bold new strategy of the Trafficking Victim's Protection Act - sheltering, asylum and other protections for the victims, long jail sentences and asset confiscation for the traffickers, and tough sanctions for governments that failed to meet minimum standards - were merely a solution in search of a problem. Today few would deny that the scourge of human trafficking, though hidden, is in fact widespread.
Back in the 1990s, the term trafficking was applied almost exclusively to illicit drugs or weapons. Reports of vulnerable persons – especially women and children – being reduced to objects for sale were met with surprise, incredulity or indifference. It took two years to educate people and muster the votes for passage.
Today, as we explore the links between transnational organized crime and trafficking, I'd like to start by pointing out that this is a new frontier in the fight against human trafficking. Years ago, human traffickers were not highly organized and were not typically connected to gangs that were involved in other kinds of organized crime. This is less and less true today – and we need to consider how methods of fighting human trafficking need to adapt.
We know that human trafficking - modern day slavery - is the third most lucrative criminal activity in the world. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO) human traffickers make profits in excess of $31 billion a year. So it is not surprising that more and more organized criminal groups are engaging in human trafficking. And of courses while drug and arms traffickers have a commodity that can only be sold once, a human trafficker can purchase a slave and continually exploit them until he's made his money back. After that it's all profit.
This is a complex subject. It is marked by the growing ingenuity of organized criminal groups, the difficulty of knowing what – or who – passes over increasingly porous borders, and the gangs' use of modern technologies. All this has obscured the activities of many syndicates and made learning about and fighting their activities difficult. Yet is it not impossible, and it simply has to be done - so many innocent and vulnerable lives are at stake.
I'd like to conclude with one very important point, the premise that must shape how we approach the fight against transnational organized crime as it diversifies its operations into human trafficking: human beings are more important than drugs and guns, on every level. Our allocation of effort and resources, whether investigative or prosecutorial, has to reflect this.
Today we are joined by a panel of experts on transnational organized crime and human trafficking, who will shed light on current patterns and countermeasures. Their combined expertise should paint a clearer picture of organized crime's involvement in human trafficking and what we can do to help stop it.
With us today is Mr. Greg Andres, the current Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Crime Division where he supervises the Organized Crime Section at the Department of Justice. Mr. Andres comes to us with over a decade of experience working on organized crime issues.
We are also joined by Mr. Piero Bonadeo, Deputy Representative for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in New York. Mr. Bonadeo's testimony will bring the UNODC's years of expertise in combating Transnational Organized Crime.
