My friend went to Bodie Hills this morning and it was full of sheep on the hill I shot at the buck and saw the other two ! I saw the sheep herder down the road and on other side for two days before. Nice huh ? BLM leasing sheep grazing on public land for probably a dollar a head like the Forestry Dept. does on public land for cattle. Not much for the deer to eat in Bodie Hills as there is ! My friend is calling his BLM buddy Mon. to raise hell. I am also. Fcking B.S.. Why don't they graze them up high ? Tons of grass up by Virgina Lakes/Green Creek.
I just dont get this grazing bs, 7b is tore to shreds because of the sheep! DFG has zero clout with BLM, USFS, you name it! Keep the grazers off for a couple years, or forever, and watch the herds rebound.
In 1988 I drew a Reg. G tag in Wy.. When I got to the Grey's River area, nothing but sheep and wiped out area's the sheep had been. Hunted up higher and higher to get away from them. Do the Dept.'s like to coincide their the grazing with hunting season's ?
I've seen heards of sheep like that in the dixie nat. forest, UT, too. I didn't know sheep were allowed to cause so much distruction on federal land. It should be out lawed, but like you say cattle are so much differant because they actually graze instead of wipeing everything out.

I know if I had a few points I'd put in for x5b next year. The fire will scare off more hunters than deer...... I've hunted some of the desert areas of the eastern sierras that have burned in the past, the areas that burned look better than the areas that didn't. There's no need to bitch about blm, usfs, and dfg, they aren't doing anything different than they did in the "good ole days". If anything there is less grazing from cattle and sheep. The deer are there, they just have changed their habits.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
Tampa, Florida -- Some Republican leaders are warning other party members to be careful in the "lap dance capital of the world" during the Republican National Convention, but strip club owners are still bracing for a busy week.
"We've been told to expect two to three times what a Super Bowl would be," said Don Kleinhans, co-owner of 2001 Odyssey.
"We're not expecting Mitt (Romney), but he's more than welcome to come in," Kleinhans joked.
Recently Politico reported that the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee told his colleagues to "be careful" in Tampa and don't do anything questionable in public.
"(What) is wrong if I go to a legitimate adult establishment for a couple of hours and watch a girl dance? There's nothing wrong with that," shot back Paul Allen, the publisher of Nightmoves, a magazine which covers the Bay area strip club scene.
"Restaurants are going to make a fortune. Cabs and limos are going to make a fortune. Kind of makes sense that the clubs would make a part of that dollar influx that's coming into our city as well," he said.
The operations manager at Skin Tampa Ultra Lounge, the closest strip club to the actual convention site, says he's not worried about Republicans staying away either.
"We're glad to have them here and we'll show them a good time," said Eric "Ice" Terrell.
In fact, Terrell says they even plan on staying open longer if needed.
"We normally close at 6 a.m. I mean hey if we have guests here till 8, we'll stay open 'til 8 (in the morning)."
To lure customers in, Thee Dollhouse is bringing in Lisa Ann, a Sarah Palin impersonator who is also the adult film star of "Nailin Paylin." Another club is having look-alike contests of famous politicians while Scarlett's in Ybor City is telling potential customers in its advertisements to come "Party Like a Liberal."
But many club owners are aware that some people will want to be discrete about going to one of the Bay area's nearly 60 strip clubs.
To help make that happen, Kleinhans says they will be putting up a drive-thru tent in the back, so someone wanting privacy entering or leaving the club will not be seen by the public.
"So they can actually come in and have direct access to the spaceship VIP room without having to go through any typical public areas," Kleinhans said.
2001 Odyssey has also added new VIP seating areas with private curtains on the first floor in advance of the convention.
But the steps and improvements happening at 2001 are not unusual.
"Clubs have been putting in new carpets, adding marble tops, they've been fixing up their stages, they've been adding stuff to their sound systems, it's amazing the clubs are absolutely geared up for this to be huge," Allen said.
And huge could also be the cover charge at some strip clubs if it is as busy as some predict, with one manager telling 10 News cover could approach $80 per person.
With or without a warning, that would no doubt keep some people away.
The Republican National Convention is scheduled to begin on August 27th.

With a hot debate around the country now about gun control, a Clarke County couple has opened a new store specializing in firearms and sporting equipment.
Deep South Firearms hosted a ribboncutting ceremony Friday morning at the shop located on North Archusa Avenue in Quitman. Michael and Lacie Smith say they saw a need for meeting the needs of hunters and sport shooters locally.
"This is something that I always wanted to do," said Michael Smith. "It wasn't something that we just decided to do. With the violence and stuff that's going on in the world today, we don't promote that. It's just a passion of mine."
The National Shooting Sports Foundation says more than 19 million Americans safely participate in target shooting. Deep South Firearms also sells other outdoor gear and fishing equipment.

I've been hunting big game for the past 20 years and have never used a peep on my string. In the last 5 i've tried a couple times in the spring but have always been frustrated how it restricts my vision down range so have always removed. I've mostly hunted for elk, have harvested some nice onces, but am going to primarily target mulies in the future. I expect this will require longer shots. Shooting with my friends that use peeps, they definitely are much more accurate the further out you get.
I plan on getting my bow re-setup and shooting in the garage this winter to get used to a peep. What peep and size would you recommend? Would you recommend lining up the sight ring with the peep or center the pin with the peep? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As the flagship school of the state, Texas has had its share of excellent recruiting classes. But recent on-field results do not speak to that. Meanwhile, Boise State's recruiting classes never ripple among the nation's best, but look at how much success the Broncos have had. Steve Greenberg looks at the schools who either perform above or below their recruiting rankings.
College football recruiting 2013ncaaf February 20, 2013 6:35pm EST March 2, 2012 11:02am EST
2 Team rankings
With National Signing Day in the books, Sporting News looks at which schools pulled in the best hauls. Robert Nkemdiche's decision was one reason why Ole Miss has rocketed into our top 10.
3 Winners and losers
Just what got into Ole Miss to get a top-10 recruiting class? And Wednesday was a bit of a disappointment for USC, wasn't it? Brian McLaughlin answers the five biggest questions of the day.
4 Urban Meyer's goals
Why doesn't Ohio State's Urban Meyer seem too interested in locking down the state's borders or overly emphasizing the need to beat Michigan? His sights are squarely on a Nicktator, Steve Greenberg writes.
5 Sporting News' Top 125
6 Top recruits by position
The top 17 quarterbacks in Sporting News' recruiting rankings all have committed—not surprising given that QBs typically commit early to become unofficial recruiters for the rest of the team. We look at where each QB is headed, and what they bring to the table.
Meanwhile, we take a look at the top 10 running backs, and where they're headed.
7 Derrick Green's decision
Just how did RB Derrick Green, Sporting News' No. 13 recruit in its top 125, commit to Michigan? Oh, the ways these kids get creative to announce their decisions.
8 Chip Kelly to the NFL
Oregon coach Chip Kelly's decision to leave Eugene for the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles was met with shock by recruits, but not anger. Some wish the former Ducks coach the best and remain committed to the program, but others may look around.
9 All-Star games analysis
As we watch the three big all-star games showcasing top recruits, let's remember that we're not watching real football. We're watching reel football, Brian McLaughlin writes.
10 Junior college recruiting roundup
The junior college route is not for every player, but it can pay off big for those who work to maximize their talents, Brian McLaughlin writes.
11 Derrick Henry's decision
Derrick Henry is a huge deal in tiny Yulee, Fla. Hours after the SN Top 125 running back commits to Alabama, he rushes for 363 yards on national TV. Brian McLaughlin spent the day in the town that Henry has put on the map.
12 Vanderbilt's success
James Franklin has the Commodores recruiting at new levels. His use of YouTube has provided further awareness to a program that has long been the kicked can in the SEC.
13 Survey says!
When it comes to recruiting, no one really knows what happens between top high school players and the schools that covet them. Sporting News surveyed 102 BCS recruits and got plenty of answers. Learn why David Shaw has an advantage, and so much more.
14 Gridiron Kings event
It's no coincidence that the Southeast has boasted the best 7-on-7 teams at the Gridiron Kings event in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., given the level of football talent that region possesses. That was again apparent at this year's showcase. Georgia QB commit Brice Ramsey was the Offensive MVP.
15 The Opening
Some of the nation's elite prospects from the Class of 2013 converged on Beaverton, Ore., for The Opening, put on by Nike at its headquarters. Recruits are well aware of the importance of the event.
What else we learned:
— Rising juniors attract interest, too
— Recruiting powers get attention, but plenty of schools represented
— USC recruits busy wooing others
— SPARQ rating
16 Legacy players
Jack Del Rio's son, Luke, had scholarship offers from Oklahoma State and Oregon State, but he has instead opted to walk on at Alabama.

Hi guys,
As the title says, I need to create a form to send a email using a zimlet, I tried to understand another zimlet, like the SocialZimlet, but the code is somehow hard to understand and I didn't find any example on how to use a Combo-box. With that form, I want to pre-formatted and send a email to our support staff. Simple like that. Can I have some insight on how to do that?

1971 Dodge DemonWritten by on August 1, 1999 Contributors: Chuck James Dale Gilmore Burns Up The Streets In His 360/380 MP Crate Engined Demon
If a guy gets his kicks running into burning buildings, it makes you wonder what he does for fun in his spare time. If you're fireman Dale Gilmore, you build a red-hot Demon and burn up the streets. "I've always liked the A-Bodies--it's the tail lights," says Dale, owner of this month's cover car. "I looked for over a year to find a good body, and it ended up being right under my nose." What he found was the cream puff we all hope to score.
Originally owned by a little old lady, she was forced to sell it when she had to give up her driver's license. Garage-kept its entire life, the 1971 was completely rust free. The interior was good, and with only 21,652 miles showing on the odometer, the Slant Six, 3-speed manual, column-shifted Demon drove like a new car--straight into Dale's garage, where it was completely disassembled and rebuilt from bumper-to-bumper. Although the body was rust free, as were the floors and underside of the car, it had suffered the usual 25-plus years of Wal-Mart rash. "David Gaspar, the guy who did the body and paint, did a fantastic job!" says Dale. "He was so particular that even the floors under the carpet were painted." After seeing the Viper Red car up close, we have to agree on the quality of the work.
Dale removed the original Slant-Six K-frame and replaced it with a 340 piece, adding discs from a 1973 and a Line-Loc(TM) kit while he had it all out. Everything mechanical under the car that could be removed was sent out for powdercoating before being re-installed. Employed as a full-time fireman, Dale runs a welding business in his off-hours, so welding in a set of Chassis Engineering subframe connectors was no problem. The whole underside was then coated with black POR-15, and new brake and fuel lines from Year One were installed. Out back, a B-Body 8-3/4 rear was fitted with 3.91 cogs and hung via Super Stock springs.
Inside, the original interior was cleaned up and deemed usable, with the exception of the cracked dash pad and full rubber floor mat. "If I could have found a new rubber mat I'd have put that back in. But I couldn't, so I went with a Legendary carpet kit," says Dale. We especially like the retention of the bench seat. A full compliment of gauges from Auto Meter, including a tach, were added, with Dale's brother-in-law Eddie Ruff handling the wiring chores, and Stephens Performance supplying a perfect used dash pad to cap things off. An automatic trans pedal assembly and shifterless-column were also installed since the 3-speed manual was being replace with a Cheetah-shifted 727 trans built by Turbo Action.
The 380-horse 360 Magnum Crate was set in place on the stock 340/360 mounts. "Twenty minutes after the photo shoot, it was in place," says Dale. "Three hours after that the trans and driveshaft were installed, as was the full TTI exhaust system--and it was running!" Granted, Dale has the advantage of a lift, so trans and exhaust installation went a little quicker than it would for the rest of us, but this simply demonstrates that as people are demanding higher-quality parts that fit the way they should, the aftermarket is responding accordingly. "The TTI exhaust system is perfect," says Dale. "Nice big tubes with mandrel bends; nothing hits, and there are no clearance problems! The whole thing went in perfectly with no cutting or bending. I welded it up, but the kit doesn't require it--it comes with clamps so anybody can do it." The same holds true for the replacement 3/8-inch fuel lines from Year One. Because the Magnum motors are balanced differently than the older LA engines, Dale relied on assistance from Bouchillon Performance when it came time to order and balance the JW Transmissions 10-inch, 3,500-rpm stall torque converter.
Dale had the whole combination in the car once before our cover shoot to test it out on the track. With a smaller exhaust system consisting of 5/8-inch headers and 2-1/4-inch exhaust, and street tires, the Crate 360 ran 12.82 right out of the box! It nosed over a little on the top end due to fuel starvation, and that's when Dale decided on the larger Year One fuel lines, the larger TTI 1-3/4-inch primary-tube headers, and their Mandrel-bent 2-1/2-inch exhaust system. He hasn't run a quarter-mile time since the upgrades, but considering it ran high-12s with the restrictive fuel lines, small exhaust and street tires, we'd say low-12s or high-11s is a conservative estimate.

St. Charles, MO (KSDK) - The last of three defendants charged in the horrific sexual abuse case out of St. Charles involving children a woman and her boyfriend were babysitting in 2011 happens later today.
John Scott Thomas III of O'Fallon pleaded guilty to ten criminal charges related to the crimes involving a then 7 month old infant, as well as two young sisters, ages 3 and 5 at the time of the offenses.
Thomas pleaded guilty to multiple counts of statutory sodomy, as well as child molestation, and statutory rape.
Two other people charged in the case also pleaded guilty last November. Thomas' girlfriend, Rebecca Sue Russell was sentenced to 10 years in state prison, and a friend of the couple, Billy Bunch Junior was ordered to serve 15 years in the state penitentiary for his involvement.
The abuse came at a mobile home in the Tee Kay Trailer Park where Thomas and Russell lived just outside of O'Fallon in St. Charles County.

ooooooo I like that ... very nicely done and i'm doubly impressed with the by hand instead of a script.... too cool!
Ok So this time I didn't use the dungeon script (awesome script saves tons of time, but I wanted to give this a try), and decided for personal reasons as well as game reasons to do this "by hand."
Basically all the images I had gotten off of RPGshare, dundjinni, maptools etc, and manipulated them using gimp. Right now this is the first level of the school. On the first level I plan on having the two large forward rooms as library and then there will be the long hallways that go to the back of the building. Not sure how to utilize these rooms. The 2nd level will be "class rooms". The center round area is actually the base of the tower for the "head master." I'm gonna post a direct link to photobucket and image code. Tell me what you guys think and any links for books shelves, desks, or stuff to do with a wizard/sorcerers base would be awesome help. I plan on adding more of the color to the tiles and yes I know I need to put some tiles on the rounded steps, which I will do ASAP.

Looks nice, could you make the long corridors into some sort of gallery, say have paintings of former headmasters there?
There is a thread round here somewhere of somebody who was doing a library and there was quite a big discussion about bookshelves there, so I would hunt for that.
Very nice, the color-scheme is very pleasing on the eye.
Looking forward to see where this goes.

This looks good, only thing I ask is if there is going to be some decorations? By that I mean things like the paintings mentioned above or a dais or tables and such? Nice job so far.

I think I posted most of my bookshelf images separately if anyone wants them... if there's one in a library image that isn't posted separately and you want it, let me know and I can probably send it to you.
Well I didn't actually do it by hand it was a lot of copy and pasting and cuting involved. So don't give me to much credit. I'm thinking of adding something to just cover the steps so they don't stick out so much but I'm not sure what. I did paint the color in there though. I'm thinking of making a banner, "carpet" to lay over the stairs with white and the greyish blue I used for this.

ok tile is done...I think I went a lil overboard, but I like it...lol. I plan on covering up alot of the stuff though with rugs and blah blah blah, so, tell me what you think.
Nice Start, but what's the scale? Based on the steps and the tiles, I would say the hallways would be around 8-10 foot wide. One possibility is to wall off the hallways to make dormitories(very small... if 10 foot hallways, perhaps 10 x 5 rooms with bunkbeds and that leaves 5 foot hallways). However, given that scale, your libraries might be a tad small (perhaps on purpose???) unless they span multiple levels with no ceiling.

actually the hallways are 10 feet, and a library isn't really a large space, in proper midevil terms. But yes, as for a fantasy game, I probably will have another library on the second floor. The room is about 30 by 15 feet for the two rooms that make up the library, so that's actually a pretty good amount of books. The school isn't extremely large either, its not self-sustaining. They do require services from the near by village.
As for the dormitories, they are actually going to be a seperate building currently I'm just making the buildings then I will make the school grounds. The 2nd floor will be where the class rooms and dining area will be. I'm thinking of making the dining area the central mass for the 2nd floor and some way to reach the "roof" of the 2nd floor which will allow people to gain access to the tower. (minus the area for the tower.
However I could double the size of the map and adjust the grid size as well. I've made a list of things the 2nd floor will have.
dining area
alchemy lab/class
enchanting lab/class
mundane arts class (math, reading, writing, etc)
study room (a place to study and practice the arts)
ritual class (a class for ritual magic)
worship area (to the god of magic).

In order to reach our future goal of a highly mobile, legged exploration robot, the DLR Crawler is a first experimental platform to test various control, gait and navigation algorithms. It uses the fingers of DLR Hand II as legs. These are well suited for this prototype due to their broad range of proprioceptive sensors measuring joint and motor angles as well as joint torques and foot forces.
Fig. 2: Connection schematic of leg coordination rules of the DLR Crawler
This set of sensors allows to implement different active compliance control algorithms as well as many reactive behaviors. The robot comprises 18 active degrees of freedom, 3 per leg, which are actuated by permanent magnet synchronous motors in combination with harmonic drive gears and tooth belt transmissions. Since it is a laboratory testbed, the Crawler uses an external 24 V power supply and external computation. This allows testing different algorithms with varying computational complexity without caring about hardware limitations at this stage of the research. In order to achieve a fast 1kHz control loop, the Crawler employs a serial SpaceWire-based communication. Nevertheless, future designs will have onboard computation and onboard power supply.
The gait algorithm of the DLR Crawler draws inspiration from nature and implements findings of stick insect experiments conducted by biologist Holk Cruse and co-workers. It uses a decentralized approach, where neighboring legs influence each other by inhibiting or exciting stepping motions. Thus, the gait of the Crawler emerges and varies from a slow wave gait via a tetrapod to a fast tripod gait. Additionally, the gait algorithm allows omni-directional motion and the use of reflexes. Elevator, stretch and search reflex enable the robot to autonomously negotiate obstacles within its walking height. Another interesting feature of the algorithm is its ability to immediately adapt to the loss of a leg without getting unstable. In order to navigate in unknown terrain a stero camera head is mounted on the Crawler. Using the stereo vision algorithms developed at the institute, the robot is able to assess the terrain traversability and to plan a path to a desired goal soley based on the information acquired by its own sensors.

1970 Chevy Nova Gets A Smooth Firewall - Great Walls Of Fire!Written by on May 1, 2009 Contributors: Scott Killeen, Precision Coachworks Smoothing Out That Lumpy Firewall Can Give Your Engine Bay Some High-End Flair. Best Of All, With Some Careful Planning, It's Easy To Do.
Think of it as cellulite removal for sheetmetal. At its core, a firewall is nothing more than a barrier that prevents a car's occupants from getting too toasty. It's been known to seal the cabin off from stinky fumes and toxic fluids on occasion as well. Given its utilitarian nature, the landscape of a firewall is characterized by undulating topography and unsightly holes. There's nothing pretty about it. While that's fine for a production car, spending a little bit of time smoothing that sucker out is a great way to score a ton of style points with your project car. Best of all, anyone with some basic welding skills can pull it off. All it takes is some advanced planning.
For some helpful pointers, we watched closely as the crew at Precision Coachworks reprofiled the firewall on Air Ride Technologies' '70 Nova. For those who may be hesitant to go crazy with a cutoff wheel, smoothing out a firewall is a low-risk, high-reward endeavor that doesn't require the skill of an expert bodyman. "I wouldn't put a high degree of difficulty on a project like this because we're talking about a relatively small area of the car," explains John Hemmer of Precision Coachworks. "The firewall is much stronger than the fenders or quarter-panels, so it's harder to inadvertently warp. Plus, since the motor will cover most of the area you're working on, even if it isn't perfect and there are a few flaws, it's no big deal and it will still look a lot better than stock. Even if you aren't completely comfortable doing bodywork, a project like this is very feasible."
That said, smoothing a firewall requires a fair amount of advanced planning, and many of the procedures outlined in this story are specific to Air Ride's project Supernova. For obvious reasons, it's best to plan on tackling a job like this while the motor is out of the car and before the body has been primered. More importantly, the holes that can be plugged and the areas that can be flattened depend on exactly how the car is configured. For instance, different types of steering columns, pedal assemblies, shifter locations, master cylinders, and A/C systems all impact where the cutting and welding will take place. Likewise, many of the holes in a firewall were punched by the factory simply to run wires through, so carefully routing your wiring to one or two central points will allow plugging up more holes and yield a much cleaner finished product. By taking time to plan ahead, you'll be able to turn lots of heads on cruise night once your project is complete.

When Air Ride was planning their Nova, one of the first things they wanted from Precision Coachworks was a smoothed firewall. We can't emphasize enough the importance of putting your project plan in writing with a build wish list and a project rendering. It will save you the cost of doing many things twice. Smoothing the firewall is one of those things that must be plugged in during the planning stage.After sandblasting the body, the Nova was propped up on a rotisserie to begin the firewall smoothing process. Although the media blasting removes paint, grease, and debris from the metal, the factory seam sealer on the Nova's rust-free body required further attention. Cleaning out the sealer with a wire brush and a cordless drill makes warping the firewall with excessive heat buildup next to impossible. Rust has already eaten through this seam in many cars, so this step may not be necessary depending on the condition of your body.Before any cutting and welding of the firewall starts, it's imperative to plan which holes will be plugged, and which will be left alone. This depends on several factors, such as the type of pedal linkages, steering column, and master cylinder that will be used, as well as how the wiring will be routed through the firewall. Then it's simply a matter of cutting out plugs from 16-gauge steel and MIG-welding them into position. John suggests first creating a template by holding a piece of cardboard up to the engine side of the firewall, then tracing the hole from the interior side of the firewall.Since Supernova is equipped with a compact aftermarket steering column, the large hole for the factory column was plugged up and recut. With aftermarket brakes, the holes on the far right for the factory parking brake assembly were not necessary either. After plugging up the holes, the welds were ground down with an angle grinder. Either an air or an electric grinder will suffice, and John recommends using a 3-inch, 36-grit wheel to limit heat buildup and prevent warping the metal.Installation of a Vintage Air A/C system enabled flattening out the metal surrounding the factory heater box area. This required substantially enlarging the factory hole before plugging it up with a plate. While the factory hole is relatively small, it is surrounded by several contours. Precision Coachworks' Shane Wagner trimmed the area around the factory hole with snips and a die grinder until reaching the flat portions of the firewall. At this point, the body was placed on a custom jig, but this procedure can be performed just as easily on jackstands.To prevent warping the metal, the tack welds were spaced roughly 3/4-inch apart from each other. On each side of the plate, welding from the center outward helps keep the panel square in the hole. Likewise, hitting the welds with an air nozzle from time to time ensures the metal won't overheat.While it's by no means a necessary step, the heater box block-off plate was put through a bead roller to emulate the look of a factory heater-delete car. Not only does it look slick, the bead rolling process gives the metal additional strength. To achieve the look, Kurt Blackgrove held a template up to the plate to determine where and how much of the metal to roll. He then drew around it with a marker and formed the metal into shape.With the heater box hole plugged shut, Shane ground down the welds using long strokes to avoid excessive heat buildup. At this point, the welds, block-off plate, and firewall are essentially one solid piece. Getting it just right eliminates the need for body filler. Simply grinding and blocking the metal will result in a surface that's flat enough to paint.To make room for the column-shifted automatic, the factory cut an enormous oblong-shaped hole into the Nova's firewall. Since Supernova was fitted with a 4L65E overdrive shifted from atop the trans tunnel, the factory hole was plugged. Moreover, unsightly factory spot welds were plugged and ground flat. Note the location of the stock gas pedal hole in the far left.
Having ditched the factory gas pedal assembly for a custom-built unit, the stock hole was eliminated. For obvious reasons, this hole can't be closed off if the factory pedal assembly is retained.Upon completing all welding work, any remaining high spots must be knocked down with an angle grinder. The goal is to use as thin a coat of body filler as possible. For a super clean end product, Precision Coachworks ran all the wiring through the inner fenders, which enabled plugging several extra holes in the firewall. Likewise, the hole for the body access mount (bottom right), a passage that makes it easier to detach the body from the subframe, was plugged as well.It's possible to jump right to block sanding and priming after the metalwork is complete, but John says that adding body filler yields a more polished end product. A thin 1/8-inch-thick skim coat of filler is all that is necessary. Just about any type of mud will work fine, but John prefers marine-grade fillers since they're less likely to develop pinholes.The irregular surface of the firewall can make block-sanding difficult, so John recommends using a rigid foam block that is flexible enough to conform to the metal's contours. Shane started with 180-grit paper, then hit the surface again with 240-grit, followed by 400-grit.Having already achieved a very flat firewall surface that didn't need much filler, John opted to spray it with a urethane (2k) primer. For firewall surfaces that aren't as flat and require more fill, an epoxy or polyester primer is preferable.The final step before painting is applying a dab of seam sealer around the firewall. John prefers 3M sealers for their durability and quick curing times.Not a fan of shiny firewalls, Precision Coachworks' finish is a secret brew of semi-gloss black and an undisclosed textured ingredient (we prefer Sherwin-Williams Matte Clear, PN CC947, $57.05 per quart). Regardless of the ingredients, it looks a heck of a lot better than stock. Obviously, the particular color you choose to paint your firewall is strictly a matter of personal preference.A smoothed firewall is just one ingredient making up the impressive whole of the finished car. This is the type of detail that can push a very nice-yet ordinary-car over the edge into trophy-winning territory. If you've ever wanted to get your hands dirty with custom bodywork, smoothing the firewall is a great place to start that gives the beginner a lot of latitude in the skill department.

I would like to setup RAID 0 for my Dell 2900 server. Which one is better, using hardware RAID (using installed Dell PERC 6 controller) or software RAID? The RAID 0 is for database.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Hardware RAID is the only way to go, if your pockets allow.
See my other answer regarding raid to get the concept.
Dell PERC 6 although a real hardware raid is a "cheap" one. You should avoid that one and use software raid instead (if you can). If you end up using it as a hardware raid no worries, it is not that bad. Just do not expect too much from it (e.g. bad performance). There are also binary utilities that can be used to manage the controller from linux. They all suck compared to good hw raid or software raid.
My comment is based on my experince with a 1 or 2 generation older card. It could have been improved since, but I do not think so.
It depends on what you know and what you buy. Back in the day, I managed FC arrays on Sun servers with Veritas Volume Manager and software RAID. Things worked great and performance was excellent. I had a similar experience with AIX 4 servers a few years later.
Hardware RAID should be faster; but in reality the trashy RAID controllers that you often find negate that, and you'd be better off with a maintainable software RAID and lvm. Mr. Atwood's experience with the IBM ServerRAID 8k isn't an isolated incident. We had an incident where a defective RAID controller firmware forced us to visit over 400 remote locations to perform a manual upgrade.
If you don't know whether your RAID controller is junk or not, test, test, test.
This Stackoverflow posting talks about RAID layout for database servers. You should not use RAID-0 as it has no redundancy. RAID-0 is interesting for performance at the expense of everything else; you might use it on a video editing system (for example) but it is not appropriate for databases.
Linux has much better support for software RAID than Windows does. I would almost never recommend software RAID on a windows server. Linux is a different proposition. The software RAID on Linux is quite good and is certainly worth considering. On Linux, a fast CPU might result in better RAID performance than a slower RAID controller, but most SATA or SAS RAID controllers have fairly beefy RISC cores with hardware XOR units. Some even have multi-core CPUs clocked at more than 1GHz.
Most Dell PERCs are rebadged LSI or Adaptec controllers. One point to note is that they can take a battery backed cache, which is a feature that is not supported on software RAID. This gives you extra resilience to certain failure modes.
My suggestion would be to run some benchmarks with bonnie++ or something similar on both H/W and S/W RAID. If either configuration is noticeably faster go with that. However, if the server is currently in use and not causing any problems you may want to stick with your current configuration. The configuration is not likely to make enough of a difference to warrant rebuilding a server that is already in production.
Running a software RAID seems kind of like asking a airline pilot to fly the plane and serve drinks and peanuts to all the passengers at the same time :-)
In my opinion it's always better to use hardware that's dedicated to a specific task, thus I would choose the PERC RAID controller over the software RAID, regardless of the OS you are running.
I've had fairly good luck with that PERC card. I always prefer hardware RAID for the piece of mind, and simplicity of it. I've seen too many tragic mistakes with software RAID with a shoddy mdadm command. I only recommend software RAID if you're really comfortable with the commands and such needed to rebuild, expand, and shrink the array.
Keep in mind that each vendor implements their hardware raid themselves and keeps the implementation details private, while linux software raid is completely open. Hardware raid may in some cases be better than software raid but how do you determine the quality of a particular hardware raid implementation?
Software raid is also portable in that you can take a disk from one machine and move it to another. That generally doesn't work with hardware raid.
As for the issue of cpu overhead, modern cpus have cycles to burn so I don't worry about that.
I've used both hardware and software raid over the years and have generally been more satisfied with software raid from a reliability and maintenance perspective.
There's a good discussion about this on Jeremy Zawodny's blog. This convinced me that there's something to be said about software RAID.
Never use software RAID if your core/CPU 0 or 1 is even vaguely busy as it will add a lot of load to those cores. If you can always use hardware RAID, UNLESS you have one of those not-very-good semi-hardware/semi-software-based cards that are worse than having nothing. I partricularly like the HP/Compaq SmartArray cards, they're rock-solid, fast and I'm pretty sure they'll work in your Dell but you might have to route the cables in an odd way due to chassis difference.
Just as a datapoint, I have been running an LSI MegaRAID SATA 300 card with a RAID 5 configuration on Centos 5, and have been very happy. Have had one incident of a drive failure, and was able to rebuild the >1TB array in just a couple of hours using the megarc command line utility - with no down time. The performance has been great so far. I have had success in the past using software RAID in a RAID0 configuration, but drivers at installation time were always a bit of a pain to deal with.
[Yes, I know I'm responding to a nearly five-year-old post; but I can't bear to let the misinformation posted by "XTZ" stand.]
Sorry, "XTZ", but Martijn Heemels has it exactly right: "Software RAID" and "fakeRAID" are two ENTIRELY different things. Further, I can confirm from first-hand experience that you can indeed migrate a (properly implemented -- i.e., Linux) Software RAID array into a completely different machine, and have it recognized automagically. Take another five minutes to tweak your mdadm.conf and fstab files and create a mount point for the new "drive", reboot, and you are DONE, with all data intact. I recently proved this after my main file server took a dump due to a sudden failure somewhere on the motherboard (probably a blown cap, but I've yet to do the full post-mortem). Once I figured out that the problem as NOT originating in the RAID array, I set about rescueing my data. So as a temporary fix (I'm shopping for a new "real" server as we speak), I scrounged up a removed-from service desktop system with a case big enough to support all the drives I needed to mount, did a fresh Debian install on the boot drive, transferred the RAID drives and an add-in (el-cheapo non-RAID -- well, it can do "fakeRAID", but that "feature" is disabled) four-port SATA adapter, and... Voila! More than a Terabyte of data was back online, and my heart rate could start returning to normal. Notably, the replacement system could hardly have been more different from the original one, having a (very) different motherboard, based on an entirely different main (Northbridge/Southbridge) chipset, an AMD Athlon XP CPU instead of an Intel P4, completely different integrated peripheral chipsets, and so on. So if migrating the drives worked in that situation, it should work with almost any other combination of old/new hardware.
Software raid=fake. Go ahead and try to throw a disk in another raid after it and see if you can recover anything.
Since your planning on a Raid0 I do hope you have a very consistent backup and recovery solution!
Hardware only, if your not spending over 200 for a Raid card, its most likely FAKE RAID as well!(generalization i know)
I love your blog btw.

The United Dairy Industry of Michigan and Meijer Team Up with Rock & Roll Nutrition Show to Reach High Need Schools Across Michigan
From March 4 - May 3, the State of Michigan will be rocking to the beat of The Drink Milk For Life Jump with Jill Live Tour. Together, the United Dairy Industry of Michigan (UDIM), the produce section at Meijer grocery stores, and the nation's only rock & roll nutrition show, Jump with Jill, are teaming up to bring songs about low fat milk and fresh vegetables to 50 high need schools across the State of Michigan. From Grand Rapids to the Upper Peninsula, this tour will reach 18,000 students grades K-6.
Jump with Jill was originally working through a federally-funded agency to bring this experience to high need Michigan schools. One month before the tour was scheduled to rock, Jump with Jill headquarters was informed the funding was dropped, effective immediately. Recognizing that high need schools need nutrition education but rarely have the budget, the Michigan-based UDIM and Meijer stepped up to serve their communities. Their engagement has also allowed Jump with Jill to increase their impact, allowing schools to receive comprehensive follow up materials including CDs, DVDs, posters, and much much more. To get even more local, this Michigan tour is proud to feature local talent: Detroit-native Hailey McDonell as "Jill" and Holland-native Devon Watson as "DJ." It just so happens that one of the schools on the tour roster is Devon's childhood elementary school.
About Jump with Jill:
Jump with Jill is a professional live show that travels the country transforming nutrition education into a rock & roll nutrition concert. Armed with catchy songs, upbeat dance moves, and a hip wardrobe, Jump with Jill uses the same tools normally used to sell junk food and keep kids sedentary into a powerful tool for teaching healthy habits.
Created by registered dietitian and musician Jill Jayne, the show leaves kids with eight take-away messages: respect your body; fuel your body with healthy food for the best energy; eat breakfast daily; eat vegetables to keep skin, hair, muscles, eyes, and bones healthy; choose naturally sweet fruit instead of candy; exercise regularly; drink water instead of sugary drinks; and get calcium from low fat dairy. Jill's interactive teaching style of these important topics not only makes eating breakfast and drinking water cool, but helps increase retention of these important health messages.
Jump with Jill has been performed over 1,000 times for more than 250,000 kids all over the United States and Europe and has been featured in national media outlets including Nickelodeon, Sprout PBS, NPR, and The Washington Post.

The X Factor
Harry Styles Is Sleeping With THIS Sexy Blonde — According to Her Dad!
We're probably all used to our parents embarassing us at some point, but not typically on talk shows.
One Direction dreamboat Harry Styles is sleeping with Kimberly Stewart, says her father, singer Rod Stewart.
Rod revealed to British talk show host Alan Carr that Harry and Kimberly are in fact hooking up, and that Harry is over at their home all the time, according to Hollywood Life.
When asked if Harry and Kimberly have "sleepovers" at Rod's house, Rod replied: "Oh, that would be telling, I can't tell you that. Well... his car was there in the morning, put it that way. But he may have just come round to pick something up, I don't know." Sure, Rod.
As to whether Rod tries to discourage his 33-year-old daughter from dating the 19-year-old Harry, Rod says, "She's allowed to do whatever she wants — I stay out of it. It's her life."
And for what it's worth, it sounds like Rod is a big Harry fan.
"He's a lovely fella," Rod adds. "Oh, bollocks, I've let the cat out of the bag now! He was actually round for dinner last night. He's a lovely guy."
And just who is Kimberly? She's a former model who is raising her one-year-old daughter, following a tryst with actor Benecioi del Toro.
We're guessing Kimberly lights up his world like nobody else.

Back to Law Rankings
The 2016 Vault Law 100 is here! This year, over 17,000 law associates rated law firms on a scale of 1 to 10 based on prestige. (Associates were not allowed to rate their own firms, and were asked only to rate firms with which they were familiar.)
How does Vault come up with its list of the Top 100 firms in the
country? The first step is to compile a list of the most renowned
law firms in the land by reviewing the feedback we receive from
previous surveys, consulting our previous lists, poring over legal
newspapers, talking to lawyers in the field and checking out other
published rankings. We then asked these top firms to distribute a
password-protected online survey to their associates. This year,
over 17,000 attorneys returned anonymous surveys to Vault.
Associates from all over the country and the world responded. We
heard from lawyers in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Palo
Alto, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, Washington,
DC, Miami, Cleveland, Seattle, Orlando, Phoenix and Atlanta, plus
many other domestic as well as international locations. The online
survey asked attorneys to score each of the law firms on a scale of
1 to 10 based on how prestigious it is to work for the firm.
Associates were asked to ignore any firm with which they were
unfamiliar and were not allowed to rank their own firm.
We collected all the surveys and averaged the score for each
firm. The firms were then ranked in order, starting with the
highest average prestige score as No. 1 on down to determine the
Vault Top 100. Remember that in the Top 100, Vault is not assessing
firms by profit, size, lifestyle, number of deals or quality of
service; we are ranking the most prestigious law firms based on the
perceptions of currently practicing lawyers at peer firms.

Associated Press Release
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) -- A prison inmate has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $50,000 from the government by using the identities of other inmates for false tax returns.
The News-Herald of Panama City (http://bit.ly/RwxTq8 ) reports Michael William Joseph III pleaded guilty to 41 charges including stealing government money, mail fraud and false tax returns on Thursday.
He is scheduled for a March 20 sentencing hearing where he faces up to 20 years in prison on the mail fraud charge.
Investigators say he submitted nearly $180,000 in false tax return claims from 2006 through 2008 while incarcerated at the Apalachee Correctional Institute in Sneads.
The government paid $51,298 of the claims. Investigators say they recovered $17,000 from his bank account and $11,600 buried in his mother's back yard in Tampa.

Supernanny: McGrath Family
November 27, 2009 08:32 PM by Lisa Princ
Jo Frost is back tonight on Supernanny on ABC after a break last week. This week she is heading out to help the McGrath Family, who recently found out that their 5 year old son has type 1 diabetes. This new diagnosis is wreaking havoc on their household and they are hoping Jo can save them. Will she be able to stop this 5 year old from using his illness to take advantage of his parents? Keep reading to find out!
Supernanny arrives at the McGrath home, and is greeted by Tammy, Bill and their 3 children: Paige – 9 years old, Aiden – 5 years old, and Liam – 4 years old. Immediately Jo notices how much of an impact Aiden's diabetes has on this family. Aiden holds it over his parents to get his way. Paige is withdrawn, Liam acts out alot and this family's method of time out is clearly not working. Jo is also not surprised to discover the lack of communication between Tammy and Bill.
First up on Supernanny's list is to get Aiden to stop using his diabetes to get his way. This child literally will not eat to get his way. She decides to have a little puppet show to teach the kids about diabetes and how it is important to balance it out. Jo wants to keep it fun, and the kids loved it. She then designs a little plate decor for the wall where Tammy and Bill can place stars when Aiden eats a balanced meal that day. When each plate is filled up, Tammy and Bill can get him a special toy or treat. While tough the first few meals, this eventually goes over really well with Aiden.
Next Jo Frost decides to get Tammy and Bill communicating again. She brings them a box where she would like them to leave little notes for one another whenever they have something that needs to be discussed. This works almost immediately as they begin filling the box and discussing different things. Then she goes over their ineffective time out method and teaches them the proper way to do a time out. Bill and Tammy immediately started this new method, and with a few tries, they had it down perfectly.
Jo Frost is not done here though. She decides to get Paige a door sign to allow the boys in or not when she pleases as she had enough of them barging into her room whenever they like. Paige is ecstatic and immediately tells the family about her door sign and how it will work. Before she leaves, Jo gives the family a list of famous people who also have type 1 diabetes to reassure them that all will be ok. Included in that is a video message from one of them to Aiden, who is just over the moon with this.
After checking on the family a few days later, Supernanny is thrilled at this family's new found happiness and ease of discipline. Another job well done for Jo Frost. Be sure to tune in next Friday at 8 pm EST for another episode of Supernanny on ABC.

Hi All,I posted this under the thread "Newbie needing encouragement," but thought I'd do it separately as well. I bought this bike, advertised as a "2009 Royal Enfield Bullet Electra X" with "the new Lean-Burn AVL engine." My question is whether this is an AVL, a UCE, or what. Thanks for your thoughts.
I thought the Electra frame was different, as in G5.Bare
Hi,This is Not the Electra. It is AVL with std bullet frame. Electra was exported with different tool boxes and definitely with disk break. So this bike was modified. In India there was similar bike, same classic tool boxes but with disk break, AVL 500 called Machismo. It was made from 2007 to 2010 when the horrible UCE was introduced.anadi

Bayamon, PR (Sports Network) - Phil Forte finished with eight points,
including six in the extra session, as Oklahoma State held off Akron, 69-65,
in a first-round matchup at the Puerto Rico tip-off from Coliseo Ruben
Le'Bryan Nash paced Oklahoma State with 18 points and seven rebounds, Markel
Brown added 17 points and Marcus Smart donated 16 points and nine boards for
the Cowboys (2-0), who were coming off a 73-65 victory over UC Davis in their
season opener.
Brian Walsh recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while
Zeke Marshall finished with 12 points and 10 boards for the Zips (1-2), who
dropped their opener to Coastal Carolina before defeating Division III John
Carroll on Monday.
Marshall opened overtime with a layup and added a pair of free throws to give
Akron a four-point lead, but Forte buried a 3-pointer with under 90 seconds to
play to trim the deficit to one.
After an empty possession from the Zips, Forte was fouled on a 3-point try and
the freshman guard knocked down all three free throws to give Oklahoma State a
67-65 lead with 52 seconds remaining.
Alex Abreu then missed a layup at the other end and Smart converted a pair of
free throws to give the Cowboys the decisive advantage.
Akron held a three-point edge early in the second half thanks to a 5-0 swing,
but Oklahoma State scored the next 10 points to take a 47-40 lead with under
13 minutes remaining.
The Zips went over 11 minutes without a field goal, but kept it close by going
8-of-11 from the free throw line to make it a 53-48 contest with 6:02 left.
A triple from Jake Kretzer cut the lead to two with 2:11 remaining and, after
Brown missed a 3-pointer at the other end, Marshall drew the contact and
finished the layup, but missed the potential go-ahead free throw to knot the
game at 61-61 and send the game into overtime.
In the first half, a Brown 3-pointer gave the Cowboys a 30-23 lead late, but
the Zips countered with the next six points and trailed just 33-32 heading
into the locker room.

Using human embryonic stem cells to treat radiation-induced stem cell loss: Benefits vs cancer risk
A variety of stem cells exist in humans throughout life and maintain their ability to divide and change into multiple cell types. Different types of adult derived stem cells occur throughout the body, and reside within specific tissues that serve as a reserve pool of cells that can replenish other cells lost due to aging, disease, trauma, chemotherapy or exposure to ionizing radiation. When conditions occur that lead to the depletion of these adult derived stem cells the recovery of normal tissue is impaired and a variety of complications result. For example, we have demonstrated that when neural stem cells are depleted after whole brain irradiation a subsequent deficit in cognition occurs, and that when muscle stem cells are depleted after leg irradiation an accelerated loss of muscle mass occurs. While an increase in stem cell numbers after depletion has been shown to lead to some functional recovery in the irradiated tissue, such recovery is usually very prolonged and generally suboptimal.Ionizing radiation is a physical agent that is effective at reducing the number of adult stem cells in nearly all tissues. Normally people are not exposed to doses of radiation that are cause for concern, however, many people are subjected to significant radiation exposures during the course of clinical radiotherapy. While radiotherapy is a front line treatment for many types of cancer, there are often unavoidable side effects associated with the irradiation of normal tissue that can be linked to the depletion of critical stem cell pools. In addition, many of these side effects pose particular threats to pediatric patients undergoing radiotherapy, since children contain more stem cells and suffer higher absolute losses of these cells after irradiation.Based on the foregoing, we will explore the potential utility and risks associated with using human embryonic stem cells (hESC) in the treatment of certain adverse effects associated with radiation-induced stem cell depletion. Our experiments will directly address whether hESCs can be used to replenish specific populations of stem cells in the brain and muscle depleted after irradiation in efforts to prevent subsequent declines in cognition and muscle mass respectively. In addition to using hESC to hasten the functional recovery of tissue after irradiation, we will also test whether implantation of such unique cells holds unforeseen risks for the development of cancer. Evidence suggests that certain types of stem cells may be prone to cancer, and since little is known regarding this issue with respect to hESC, we feel this critical issue must be addressed. Thus, we will investigate whether hESC implanted into animals develop into tumors over time. The studies proposed here comprise a first step in determining how useful hESCs will be in the treatment of humans exposed to ionizing radiation, as well as many other diseases where adult stem cell depletion might be a concern.
Radiotherapy is a front line treatment used in California for many types of cancer, including brain, breast, prostate, bone and other cancer types presenting surgical complications. Treatment of these cancers through the use of radiation is however, often associated with side effects caused by the depletion of critical stem cell pools contained within non-cancerous normal tissue. While radiotherapy is clearly beneficial overall, many of these side effects have no viable treatment options. If we can demonstrate that human embryonic stem cells (hESC) hold promise as a safe therapeutic agent for the treatment of radiation-induced stem cell depletion, then cancer patients may have a new treatment for countering many of the debilitating side effects associated with radiotherapy. Once developed this new technology could position California to attract cancer patients throughout the United States, and the state would clearly benefit from the increased economic activity associated with a rise in patient numbers.
We have undertaken an extensive series of studies to delineate the radiation response of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human neural stem cells (hNSCs) both in vitro and in vivo. These studies are important because radiotherapy is a frontline treatment for primary and secondary (metastatic) brain tumors. While radiotherapy is quite beneficial, it is limited by the tolerance of normal tissue to radiation injury. At clinically relevant exposures, patients often develop variable degrees of cognitive dysfunction that manifest as impaired learning and memory, and that have pronounced adverse effects on quality of life. Thus, our studies have been designed to address this serious complication of cranial irradiation.
We have now found that transplanted human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can rescue radiation-induced cognitive impairment in athymic rats, providing the first evidence that such cells can ameliorate radiation-induced normal-tissue damage in the brain. Four months following head-only irradiation and hESC transplantation, the stem cells were found to have migrated toward specific regions of the brain known to support the development of new brain cells throughout life. Cells migrating toward these specialized neural regions were also found to develop into new brain cells. Cognitive analyses of these animals revealed that the rats who had received stem cells performed better in a standard test of brain function which measures the rats' reactions to novelty. The data suggests that transplanted hESCs can rescue radiation-induced deficits in learning and memory. Additional work is underway to determine whether the rats' improved cognitive function was due to the functional integration of transplanted stem cells or whether these cells supported and helped repair the rats' existing brain cells.
The application of stem cell therapies to reduce radiation-induced normal tissue damage is still in its infancy. Our finding that transplanted hESCs can rescue radiation-induced cognitive impairment is significant in this regard, and provides evidence that similar types of approaches hold promise for ameliorating normal-tissue damage throughout other target tissues after irradiation.
A comprehensive series of studies was undertaken to determine if/how stem cell transplantation could ameliorate the adverse effects of cranial irradiation, both at the cellular and cognitive levels. These studies are important since radiotherapy to the head remains the only tenable option for the control of primary and metastatic brain tumors. Unfortunately, a devastating side-effect of this treatment involves cognitive decline in ~50% of those patients surviving ≥ 18 months. Pediatric patients treated for brain tumors can lose up to 3 IQ points per year, making the use of irradiation particularly problematic for this patient class. Thus, the purpose of these studies was to determine whether cranial transplantation of stem cells could afford some relief from the cognitive declines typical in patients afflicted with brain tumors, and subjected to cranial radiotherapy. Human embryonic (hESCs) and neural (hNSCs) stem cells were implanted into the brain of rats following head only irradiation. At 1 and 4 months later, rats were tested for cognitive performance using a series of specialized tests designed to determine the extent of radiation injury and the extent that transplanted cells ameliorated any radiation-induced cognitive deficits. These cognitive tasks take advantage of the innate tendency of rats to explore novelty. Successful performance of this task has been shown to rely on intact spatial memory function, a brain function known to be adversely impacted by irradiation. Our data shows that irradiation elicits significant deficits in learning and spatial task recognition 1 and 4-months following irradiation. We have now demonstrated conclusively, and for the first time, that irradiated animals receiving targeted transplantation of hESCs or hNSCs 2-days after, show significant recovery of these radiation induced cognitive decrements. In sum, our data shows the capability of 2 stem cell types (hESC and hNSC) to improve radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction at 1 and 4 months post-grafting, and demonstrates that stem cell based therapies can be used to effectively to reduce a serious complication of cranial irradiation.

How could you do it?
Oh, how could you walk away, from everything we made
How could you do it?

She's in it just to win it
Don't trust her for a minute

As soon as she smells your blood in the water
You better run to survive

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Reuters) – A trucking company worker was arrested on charges of making a false bomb threat that prompted a five-hour evacuation at Jacksonville International Airport in Florida, jail records showed on Wednesday.
Zeljko Causevic, 39, of Jacksonville, walked up to a Transportation Security Administration agent on Tuesday evening, pointed to his camouflage backpack and said, "I got a bomb in here," the arrest report said.
He carried a luggage scale, batteries and cell phone in the backpack and had a remote-control device that he referred to as a "detonator," the report said.
Causevic then told the agent it was "supposed to be a bomb, but it's not."
The airport was evacuated while a bomb squad checked out his backpack and examined a second suspicious package that was found in a parking lot and determined to be harmless.
Causevic was jailed on charges of making a false report about a bomb and the manufacture or possession of a hoax bomb. He is U.S. citizen born in Bosnia Herzegovina and employed by the Swift Trucking Co., his arrest report said.
During the confusion, a second man was arrested at the airport on Tuesday night on unrelated charges of resisting arrest, investigators and jail records said.
The airport reopened late Tuesday night. Flights were arriving on schedule on Wednesday morning, but more than 20 outgoing flights were canceled.
