VIEWPOINT: Two Steps to Stop Bleeding in Housing
Hilliard, Bill, American Banker
Byline: Bill Hilliard
On Feb. 16, President Obama announced that the Treasury Department would add $200 billion to the Federal Reserve Board's $500 billion program to purchase mortgage-backed securities. This idea seems smart on the surface, but careful study reveals the opposite.
As currently structured, the Fed's spending has accelerated the housing downturn and added fuel to a recessionary spiral. The president can mandate simple changes to the Fed's program to correct this problem.
We have two home mortgage markets in the United States. The first is the "agency" market, and this year's ceiling for such mortgages is $417,000 in most of the country. The second is the "nonagency" market, which includes all jumbo loans (for larger amounts than are permitted within the agency market).
Nonagency loan volume in the first nine months of last year fell 70% from a year earlier. They now make up less than 10% of the market. A paucity of nonagency lending compresses housing prices, creating a recessionary spiral in every urban market nationwide.
Until last year homebuyers could qualify for much more credit in relation to their incomes than is currently available.
For example, the Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates the median household income in Chicago was $71,600 last year. Families meeting that criterion make up Chicago's middle class, and using pre-crisis debt-to-income ratios, they qualified for about $496,000 of nonagency mortgage financing. Depending on the down payment, these families could purchase homes valued anywhere from $550,000 to $620,000. These were not reckless speculators. They were simply middle-class households purchasing family homes in conventional urban neighborhoods.
Today homebuyers with the same qualifications are hard-pressed to obtain a loan above $417,000. Even with a 20% down payment, new buyers can only pay up to $525,000. As a result, home values have compressed for Chicago homeowners. The effect is similar nationwide.
Two things are needed to stop deflationary housing compression. Credit must be restored to all qualified middle-class homeowners purchasing or refinancing a primary residence, and a new form of mortgage contract is needed to entice secondary buyers to return to the nonagency market.
Increasing credit availability is easy. When Congress set the formula for agency loan limits, they granted Alaska and Hawaii limits 150% higher than the highest limits approved elsewhere in the United States; the government-run agencies can purchase and insure loans of up to $1,094,625 (though in practice, the agencies have limited loans to $793,750 or less). That limit should be extended to all agency mortgages nationwide.
Moreover, this policy would not inflate home prices in lower-priced communities any more than it has inflated Honolulu's $610,000 median price. …

SX 220 HS Ext Flash
Taken with a 7D (cropped etcetc) but lit by the SX 220 HS with a little help from the 580(II)Ex gelled & bounced off the ceiling. There was minimal ambient light and all the flash illumination was triggered by the SX 220 HS. The 580 was triggered by the simple optical slave trigger device just below it. (Ex units are choosey & need 'Ex compatible' optical triggers, to avoid a lock-up phenomenon.) These have no 'pre-flash ignore' option, so all the SX 220 'pre-flashes' need to be disabled. Set the SX 220 Flash to M. The SX 220 Flash is partly hidden - but still visible as a purple bar - by an 'IR-pass' filter held in front of it. Several 580s (or similar) could be triggered, gelled, bounced or modified as you choose. They can operate in either M or their Autothyristor setting too! Any point and shoot cam with a Manual flash option that disables pre-flashes, can be used for off-camera flash - usually without the sync speed limitation too.

Domino #2, Ireland, Set To Topple?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/07/2010 07:51 -0400
The Irish-Bund spread is going nuts on reports that the ECB is bidding up sovereign debt once again, together with a WSJ report that the Stress Test was, as everyone with half a brain knew all too well, a blatant lie, and sovereign debt was misrepresented. Earlier, a report in the FT Deutschland suggested that the bailout of Anglo Irish alone, (not to mention AIB and Irish Nationwide) would be sufficient to threaten the country's solvency. Things domestically are no better, after a poll in the Sunday Independent found that 74% of respondents believed the country would default, and preceded earlier news that Irish consumer confidence plunged from 66.2 to 61.4. The IMF's recent expansion and creation of credit facilities is now roundly seen as having focused on Ireland, but many now believe that it may be too late and a Greek-type rescue is in the works as the second domino is about to topple. Hopefully the Irish will figure out the Ambrose Evans-Pritchard was right all along, and that the time to riot is now if they hope to get the same preferential treatment by the ECB/EU/IMF as was afforded to Greece... Because we all know what the endgame is now.
Ireland Seeks To Extend European Commission Bank Guarantees As Top Banks See €25 Billion In Maturities This MonthSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/01/2010 14:06 -0400
Even as the melt up continues with the US economy double dipping, things in Europe are just getting plain worse by the day. First it was the disappointing series of PMI data out of the old continents, with a focus on the periphery, where pretty much every number missed expectations. Now Reuters is reporting that due to refinancing requirements to the tune of €25 billion by its two most insolvent banks Anglo Irish and Allied Irish, the banks, and the government of Ireland itself, has quietly request an extension of the European Commission bank guarantee program which bailed out the country back in 2008, and which is needed to bail it out all over again. "Ireland's guarantee, which is set to run out at the end of the year, saved its financial system from collapse when it was first issued in September 2008 and has continued to be a lifeline for lenders since the Greek crisis shut off their supply of term funding. Both Anglo Irish and Allied Irish Banks, the country's second-largest lender, have called for the guarantee to be extended and the government said it was in discussions with Brussels about its future." In other words, nothing continues to work in the European banking world, except that which is explicitly backed by the ECB, which in turn is implicitly backstopped by the Fed. If there was a reason for the melt up to surge another 3-4%, this is it.
Europe Prepares for Bloodbath Open After Ireland Lowered By S&P To AA- From AA, Outlook NegativeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/24/2010 17:03 -0400
On Aug. 24, 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the Republic of Ireland to 'AA-' from 'AA'. At the same time, the 'A-1+' short-term rating on the Republic was affirmed. The downgrade reflects our opinion that the rising budgetary cost of supporting the Irish financial sector will further weaken the government's fiscal flexibility over the medium term. In light of the recent announcement of new capital injections into Anglo Irish Bank Corp. Ltd. (BBB/Watch Neg/A-2), our updated projections suggest that Ireland's net general government debt will rise toward 113% of GDP in 2012. This is more than 1.5x the median for the average of eurozone sovereigns, and well above the debt burdens we project for similarly rated eurozone sovereigns such as Belgium (98%; Kingdom of; AA+/Stable/A-1+) and Spain (65%; Kingdom of; AA/Negative/A-1+).
Breaking: Bank Protesters Storm Irish Parliament - Yesterday Greece, Today Ireland, Tomorrow ?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/11/2010 16:48 -0400
Banks protesters storm Irish parliament
Protesters have stormed parliament during a march against government plans to inject billions of euros into the country's banks.
Dozens of people broke away from the march and ran at the gates of the parliament's main building, Leinster House.
They wrestled with police, who tried to force them back and secure the gate.
At least one man suffered a head injury during the scuffles with organisers appealing for calm.
Many Institutions Believe Ireland To Be A Model of Austerity Implementation But the Facts Beg to Differ!Submitted by Reggie Middleton on 04/14/2010 08:35 -0400

Ovebanked, Underfunded, and Overly Optimistic: The New Face of Sovereign Europe, and Ireland in Particular!Submitted by Reggie Middleton on 03/31/2010 06:38 -0400
This is a very meaty piece, written for those who are serious about the true state of affairs in sovereign Europe as NOT reported in the mainstream media. Though not necessarily for freshmen, it is more than worthwhile for those who want to know what is not being said.
Economic contagion begets financial contagion, which will spread across much (if not most) of Europe, causing further economic contagion. This is what is written on the tea leaves in Ireland.
Ireland Stunned To Uncover "Truly Shocking" Information By Its Banks, Institutes AusteritySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2010 12:26 -0400
Below is the Central Bank Of Ireland's take on dealing with what it has just uncovered to be a busted banking system and imminent austerity measures. The PIIGS have just been rebranded to PIIIGS. Don't take our word for it: here is what the Irish Finance Minister just said:
As disclosed, Ireland has instituted a "Bad Bank" concept to acquire 1,200 loans, or €81 billion worth, at a 47% discount. Sounds about right. Of course, the US financial system still carries most of its loans at about par: you see we have a printer and they don't, so we can do whatever we want.
A Greek, An Austrian And An Irishman Enter A Bailout Bar... Ireland Joins The 2nd Round European Collapse BrigadeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/15/2009 13:37 -0400
Just in case you needed some more validation for a "strong" Euro thesis, the latest bit of news out of Europe shows that all those problems that were initially swept under the rug, just like in a crappy Japanese horror movie, find a way to reach out and haunt Central Bankers worldwide. First the Baltics, then Greece, then Austria, and now, once again, Ireland. 50% state ownership of Ireland's two leading banks is now on deck. To keep this as surreal as possible, may we suggest that Fred "Iceman" Mishkin quit his job in Columbia where all he does is spread completely factual and thoroughly undiscredited economic non-bullshit and run for [president/despot/tyrant/monarch/steam spewing geyser] of Iceland.

Park pulls away at Dunlop Jr. Open
Flat Rock's Lamb fires a 76 in second round and is now tied for seventh spot
Published: Thursday, June 5, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 5, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Polo Junior Player of the Year In-Bee Park continued to pull away from the field Wednesday in the second round of the Dunlop Carolina Junior Open at Green Valley Country Club.
Park, who hails from Eustis, Fla., broke par once again with a second-round 70 to give her a two-day total of 138 in the 54-hole stroke play event. She now leads her nearest competitor, Toms River, New Jersey's Sukjin Wuesthoff, by a whopping eight shots.
Flat Rock's Blair Lamb jumped from 11th place to a tie for seventh with Alma, Georgia's Ashley Medders by shooting a 4-over par 76.
Back-to-back bogeys on No. 17 and No. 18 prevented Lamb from having the opportunity to enter the tourney's top five. However, she moved ahead of the rest of the four North Carolina players who are participating in the National Junior Golf Association's event against golfers from 12 other states.
A day after struggling on Green Valley's par 5s, Lamb birdied the second she saw -- No. 6, which measures 451 yards.
John Saari of Lilburn, Ga., took the boys lead with a second-round 68 that left him one shot ahead of the field at 141. Fairview's J.D. Bass followed up his first-round 70 with a 73 on Wednesday to stand two shots off the lead.
Lamb is scheduled to tee off this morning at 10:36 a.m. on No. 1 at Green Valley.

Hands-on Projects Turn Children Into Scientists for a Week
April 1996
We're all scientists," says NSF Director Neal Lane. "We're born with an innate curiosity about the world around us. And if this curiosity is properly nurtured it will grow and thrive and enrich each person's life.
"At NSF we believe it is important to nurture the natural interests of children -- and the child in all of us -- about the wonders of science and technology," says Lane. "That's one of the reasons that more than a decade ago we produced National Science & Technology Week (NSTW)."
During the week of April 21-27, schools, community groups, colleges and universities, businesses and industry, and professional societies will engage in activities to bring the wonders of science and technology alive to millions of children and adults in the United States and around the world.
With the theme Design Connections Through Science and Technology, this year's NSTW activities focus on invention, exploring nature, and designing solutions to problems.
NSF uses the week of special events and teaching materials to link actual experiences in the world with the experiences of learning the processes of science and engineering. NSTW's Teaching Activities packet, including such activities as Nice Threads!; Derby Day; and Shake, Rattle and Roll, provide a full range of opportunities for youngsters age four and older. The students are encouraged to observe the natural world and to collaborate in designing ways to enhance it.
The packets, written in English and Spanish, are distributed through NSTW's regional and international networks which include schools, and such groups as 4-H, Girl Scouts of America, and the National Urban League.
Hands-on experiments--such as examining the ups and downs of gravity, or finding out what it feels like to break the sound barrier in an Air Force simulator -- have been a hallmark of NSTW since its beginning in 1985, but these activities are only the start. Once students, parents, and teachers are excited by the process, NSF expects them to pursue their interest through further science, math and technology studies.
Ask a Scientist!
Students, teachers and parents can speak to leading scientists on the NSTW hotline April 22-27 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Scientists expect to answer questions such as:
Watch for Breakthrough: People of Color in Science
The NSF-funded PBS series highlights the contributions of African American, Latino, and Native American scientists and engineers. The six-hour show will air April 8, 15, and 22.

It's a nice t shirt.. my son likes it alot! He says it's comfortable and light weight.It fits his medium-small build just right!! I ordered him a small!He uses it for track practice and basketball training. ... read more
Nice urban camo design, tight without being too constricting, clima cool makes them very breathable. Stitching around the crotch means you get less visible 'bulge', which is great for me as I wear them at the gym, I wouldn't recommend wearing no underwear as they can become slightly see through when stretched. Great for squatting and lunges, no bunching material or sagging waistband! I'm 6'2 with fairly muscular legs, I bought a size L and they fit perfectly but I can see how they would be a bit long if you were a shorter guy. ... read more
I have tried many running tops including compression clothing and dry-fits but Response Tee is the best so far. It fir perfectly and gives me the extra push during my runs and workouts. The quality is superb and delivery was really fast. Highly recommended. ... read more
I've been looking for this style for a long time from all high-end brands. I found some that are similar, but made with cheap material and they look bulky. But, these are perfect. I love the cut, the material, and the fit. I can wear them casual or for tennis. I'd buy more if they come in more colors. Price is right too. ... read more
I bought the same shirt, same model and size in black right after Christmas. Loved it. Thought I would buy a different color so I did. So disappointing. The shirt was way too big for a small, I mean big, like large big. The last one was the same size and it was perfect. I don't got it. ... read more
Lightest possible running shorts, though maybe better in theory than in execution. The split flaps are not very fitted so almost skirt-like. On a long stride side of the mesh liner is seen. Still, comfortable. I am just wearing these over compression tights so ideal for purpose. ... read more
Got a pair of these tights in my standard size (small) and they seemed smaller than most techfit bottoms (pants and shorts) that I've had in the past. They are even smaller than team issue and other various Adidas compression, which I think fit even smaller than techfit. Anyway, maybe I got a defective pair as the waistband ripped off within and hour. The irony about these, though, is that the material of the legging bit is actually incredible. It is super-flexible but still offers compression, great for a complete range of movement to a degree I've never encountered in a compression tight, including past techfit styles. The material here is also lighter and thinner. Not sure what went wrong with mine--whether they were defective, or the material too thin and they really should be folding the waistband over the material before sewing so there isn't just one flimsy seem. II'd even blame myself for buying too small a size but all my other techfit gear still fits in the same size and I bought the exact matching shorts to these and they fit fine.) Maybe Adidas decided to tighten the waist on the tights as a loose waist on tights can lead to tights coming down when a person is running in them, somewhat unlike shorts. At any rate, even if you have a slim waist, as I do, go up a size from your usual is my only advice if you want these. ... read more
Overall I like the shirt. Only wish it wouldn't ride up when I run. I have the base tights too and the shirt always rides up so I have to constantly pull it back down during a run. A thin strip of clear rubber around the bottom might solve the problem! ... read more
I was a fan - these WERE great workout T-shirts - 85% poly 15% cotton - now - as others have noted they are 100% poly - not as comfortable and not as good a fit. Too bad....should have bought more back in the day :( ... read more
highly recommended it to everyone. I purchased a XL but it kinda tight for me then i decided to going up to XXL and then the XXL is perfect fit, comfortable except for the back length of the shrit is slightly short so i dont know it suppose to be like that or what but whatever. ... read more
Love this shirt. I'm 5 ft. 3, 130 lbs and have a shorter torso so I bought this in an XS. I have other adidas tanks in S and i find them to be a little bit big, this is great though. I thought the blue was going to be a little brighter in color and its not but I'm fine with it. Also the high neck is super cute, gives your workout wear a little style. ... read more
Very comfortable shorts , that keep you cool when working out , i found the material a little heavy for cardio , but for weight training it's perfect and great for colder days. Material is not too thick and length is just above knees. ... read more
perfect fit i am 36" waist 6'2" tall was dubious about the length when they came out of the packet (they looked like 3/4 length) but once tried on the stretch in the material was really good without being too tight great product quality ... read more

We found that the title 'Groups' for the section in course administration settings form is been misunderstood very often by German teachers. We want to change the name in German language pack to 'Default settings for group work'. Well, this is no problem generally but we found that the same string is used also at other locations like enrol/users.php?id=x table header.
Please create a new languagestrig that is used as name for section only.
This is specially relevant in Moodle 2.5 when sections are closed by default and we need very well understandable section names

Fred - do you want to take this? (I will do it, just worried about conflicting with your stuff).
I'll leave that to you Dan, I know it's only a string change but I don't have much time to wrap things up. (It will conflict yes, but not sure the course settings issue will get integrated soon).
Just adding you here to ask if you think there should be a better name for it in english too?
Dan, thanks for adding me as a watcher. I suggest we go for implementing the improvement MDL-38577, rather than changing the section name.
'Default settings for group work' doesn't exactly cover it, since the groups settings also control whether groups are displayed on the participants page, gradebook etc. Also, all the section names are very short - only one or two words. (The section name 'Formatting options for Weekly format' is due to be removed.) I can't think of a better short description in English for the groups settings than what we currently have.
Ok, so i'll just split these into two different strings to help translators, but keep the strings the same. Sound OK?
Dan, Helen
That would be helpfull for us.
@Helen we found that two or three word sction names are understandable much better than one word names. Through the changes in 2.5 with collapsable sections the names of the sections are much more relevant for users orientation than before. We think also about not experienced user and non native users with english interface
Putting up for peer review, I spent a while trying to think of a good string identifier and din't really get one.
Looks good to me Dan, I just wonder if AMOS expects the component to start with core_. I also checked that the header was not used in the module settings, and it's not. Feel free to push for integration.
Thanks Fred - I've added David here - david, does the AMOS script need core_group?
AMOS handles well with both "group" and "core_group". I prefer DEVs using the full frankenstyle name everywhere (in get_string() as well as in AMOScript) but the legacy non-prefixed form is valid.
Feature: Thanks to our superb contributors
In order to make Moodle better
As an integrator
I need to thank all our contributors
Scenario: Dan thanks you all
Given I log in as "dan"
And I see "lots of fixed issues"
When I follow "Close integrated issues"
Then I should see "Lots of thanks to all our contributors"

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — An Illinois man was convicted on Friday of producing and possessing child pornography, announced Assistant U.S. Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney James A. Lewis, Central District of Illinois. The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Springfield, Ill., Police Department.
Jeffrey Price, 47, of Riverton, Ill., was convicted Nov. 4 by a federal jury, after two hours of deliberation, on one count of producing and one count of possessing child pornography. He was indicted in November 2009 following his arrest on Oct. 22, 2009 on a federal criminal complaint. Price has remained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service since his arrest.
During Price's trial, which began on Nov. 1, the government presented evidence showing that between November 2003 and March 2004, Price coerced and photographed a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Evidence also was presented that showed Price possessed more than 900 images and 20 movies depicting children engaged in sexually explicit activity.
Price's sentencing is scheduled for March 12. Producing child pornography carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 30 years in prison. Possessing child pornography carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Both charges carry maximum terms of lifetime supervised release following any prison terms.
The case was prosecuted by Asst. U.S. Attorneys Greggory R. Walters and Elly Peirson, Central District of Illinois, and CEOS Assistant Deputy Chief Alexandra Gelber. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and the Sangamon County, Ill., Child Advocacy Center also assisted in the investigation.
This investigation is part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline 1-866-DHS-2ICE and its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

I'll admit it. Marcin's dancing old man attracted me to this thread.
Anyway, if you guys need any H-Staff assistance, I'll be willing to offer my assistance. Like if you need some restructuring/adding of sub-forums/whatever that needs to be approved in HQ first, I don't mind being your lackey. This was the forum that actually brought me to the Pokecommunity in the first place and I'd love to see this place super duper active again. I'll admit that my attention span at the moment is pretty limited so if you all could give me a short-ish summary of what you're looking do, the problems with the forum in the past and anything else I need to know. I have a knack for fixing up forums on here (Strategies & Movesets, DPPt to an extent) and would love to help you guys as well.

APRIL 15; 1954 PAGES IN TWO SECTIONS PRICE DAILY 5c, SUNDAY lOe May Oil Slashed AUSTIN HC-The Railroad Com- mission today ordered the state oil allowable for May slashed 815 barrels per day, placing the permissive flow at barrels daily. The big cut will result from one less producing day in May for both statewide and East Texas field. The flow schedule will be on a 17 day pattern. The cutback came after a 45 minute statewide proration hear- ing which produced a minimum of testimony from the industry. All but three of the big oil purchasers v.'cre ii agreement with the 17 Jay schedule set by the commission. National Stocks Early Chairman Ernest O. Thompson quoted statistics showing national stocks of crude had jumped 000 barrels in the last four weeks to total barrels. He noted that gasoline stocks are Jtill high at barrels. The commission issued a state- ment based on reports from refin- ers showing that a majority con- sidered their stocks of gasoline satisfactory. Ralph Dietler, Tulsa, board chairman of Stanolind Oil Purchas- ing Co., was the only purchasing representative who elaborated on the number of producing days he considered desirable. The first to advocate 17 days for May, Dietler said the statistics read by Thompson "indicate .to us that from the nearly ideal position in which the industry found itself on the first of March, we have deteriorated very badly." Hope Stocks Reduce "It is time to stop, look and said Dietler. "We would recommend no more than 17 days in May and hope that perhaps gas- oline stocks will be reduced in the early months of the consuming Companies favoring the 17 day pattern were Stanolind, Humble, Magnolia, Shell, Texas, Cities Serv- ice, Continental, and Tidewater. Sun Oil advocated 19 days; Sin- clair and Gulf, 18. H. P. Nichols, Tyler, speaking for the East Texas Oil and Gas Assn., wanted 18 days for the East Texas field.

Wl- magic word to swept through the Ranger-Eastland area today with a rancher's announce- ment that some ore from an aban- doned coal mine showed positive on a Geiger counter cheek. C. C.

Cole said he was with an inde- ducted today and if sufficient show. pendent geologist when the first is present, specimens will be rush- ed to a U. S. government labor- atory for final analysis. The rock that caused the Geig- er counter to "cut-up" came from the dump of the old Mount Mar- ion coal mine, one-half mile south- west of Strawn, Cole said. The abandoned pit is one of four formerly operated by the Strawn Coal Co., in the early 1900s. Coal 14-YEAR-OLD DIES Burns Finally Win Out In Battle With Rule Girl HASKELL, April 15. Mary Sulema Rodriguez, 14, of Rule, lost her battle for life Thurs- day. She died at 3 a.m. in Haskell Hospital from second and third de- gree burns over 80 per cent of her body. For more than a month, since March 9, she clung to life, fighting what doctors called "tremendous odds." Her physician told the Reporter- News that he "had never seen burns so deep on a child." She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Rodriguez Rule. Funeral arrangements will be announced by Gauntt Fcneral Home of Rule. Mary and two brothers, Linito, 12, and Audelio, 9, were burned March 9 when an oil cook stove exploded in their farm home five miles north of Rule. Linito is still in Haskell Hospit- al, where he is in "satisfactory" condition. The 14-year-old girl was filling the stove when flames caught her clothing on fire. Her mother suf- fered deep hand burns as she at- tempted to beat out the flames enveloping the girl and two boys. The entire house was destroyed. Four other children escaped in- jury. test was made. The rancher said the geologist told him "there is bound to be some uranium there." The ques- tion unanswered as yet, the ranch- er said, is whether precious metal is there in commercial quantities. The rocks tested came from the depths of the abandoned coal pit, the rancher said. BULL STARTLES NORTH-SI DERS A Brahman bull's break for freedom this morning ended in a quick trip to a packing house. The bull rammed'his way out of a trailer on the east end of North Seventh St. as he near- ed the-Abilene Livestock Auc- tion, where he was to be sold. He rambled about a mile and a half through Abilene streets before he was finally roped by Alton Faulks at North 15th and Cypress Sts. He was promptly carted back to the livestock auction and sold to a packing house. Left behind were many sur- prised Northsiders who couldn't believe it when they saw the wandering Brahman. "I just saw a Brahman bull at North 13th and said one tipster who telephon- ed the newspaper. "And, hon- est, I'm not drunk." Ions per minute to the air base supply. The City of Abilene last Friday awarded a contract for 16-incn permanent line from a 20-Inch main near the Buffalo Gap Roac and South 27th St. to the air base But City Manager Austin P. Han- cock said this line will not he completed until June 1 or 15. The emergency line win be removed when the permanent line is com- pleted. The pipeline is of very light construction and is all above ground except for road crossings, where the pipe is be- ing buried. For the airmen, it is a training maneuver, but will alle- viate a water shortage that could Eiave slowed construction at the air base, Wright said. The new 16-inch pipeline will add gallons water per minute to the air base supply. Previously the base has received water from a 12-inch main that dwindled to 10 inches and later to. eight inches before reaching the sase, Hancock said. Rani alleviated the condition at the air base temporarily, Wright said. Without the new pipeline, how- ever, water needs would have been as great as before the rain within a week unless more rain fell. Much of the work has been halted because of the rain, but is due to resume now. The temporary pipeline was connected to an Abilene main at the intersection of Danville and Hartford Sts. in West Elmwood West. The visiting airmen are biv- ouacked at the air base. Airman Injured In Tractor Fall Daniel H. Radcliff, airman from Wolters Air Force Base at Mineral Wells, was injured Thursday about 7 a.m. at Tye. Radcliff was riding a tractor when he turned too short, and fell off the tractor, which ran over him, according to a police report. He was brought to Hendrick Me- morial Hospital by Capt. Harry G. Mundt, Radcliffs commanding officer. Radcliff received injuries to his right shoulder and head. INDOCHINA CALLED DISASTER securities.. .there not being in ef- fect a registration statement to the securities." The last piece of evidence of- fered by the government before it rested its case was a certifi- cation from the Securities and Ex- change Commission showing that Estep never registered the stock of Atomotor Manufacturing Co'., Inc., with that federal agency. Government witnesses who testi- fied Thursday morning were J. B. Dalton of 1142 Mulberry St., own- er of Abilene Machine Co.; J. Wil- lis Gunn, assistant vice president of Republic National Bank in Dal- las: Emery C. Swogger, mechani- cal engineer with Temco Aircraft Corp. at Grand Prairie, and H. G. Erickson, director of engineering for Temco. Dalton, Swogger and Erickson all said from the stand that they told Estep the machine he want- ed them to help build would not work. Dalton said he worked on the project about two months and that tests on the engine resulted in failure. He related that Estep told him Temco got "remarkable re- sults" in the work they had done on the engine. However, Dalton added that when he later went to the Temco plant with Estep he learned they had also been unsuc cessful. Dalton testified he refused to siga an.affidavit at Estep's urging to the'.effect that the machine, when completed would be worth to 'He said Esiep told him he wanted this affidavit to show his clients and interested persons. Erickson testified that he was unable to get any of the 75 en- gineers at Temco to work on the atomotor "without coercion be- cause they didn't want to have anything to do with it." Temco employed an outside per- ;on, Swogger, to work on the ma- chine. Swogger said that when he was shown a drawing of the machine he told Estep it -would not work and repeated this opin- on I had worked out the system the best I could." Gunn denied that he had sent Estep to see a patent attorney, as earlier witnesses had testified Es- tep had told them. Gunn said he refused Estep's suggestion to buy stock in Atomotor Mfg. Co. and re- jected a proposal that he be made president of the company. Opened Phone Book The Dallas banker said Estep asked him about a patent attorney and that he merely opened a tele- phone book and showed him the patent attorneys listed in Dallas. On direct testimony under TJ. S. District Attorney Heard Floore, Gunn said he questioned Estep about the checks made out to At- omotor Mfg. Co. which he was de- positing to his personal bank ac- count. Cross examining Gunn, De- fense Attorney Maury Hughes ask- ed, "It wasn't any of your busi- ness if he kept his money in a cigar box, was it" Gunc replied that a federal bank- ing law prohibited the mixing of company and personal funds in the same bank account. Funds in Own Account Government evidence offered Wednesday indicated that Estep lad placed corporation funds in us personal bank account and had hen written checks on the account to pay personal expenses, includ- ing mortgage and automobile payments, residential gas and wa- ter bills. Dulles Home, 'Satisfied SYRACUSE, N.Y. Wt-Secretary of State Dulles returned to the United States today and said he was "well satisfied" with the re- sults of his talks in London and Paris on Indochina. He added that he believed the Geneva conference would advance the cause of freedom in Southeast Asia. Dulles termed the Indochina War and the general situation in Asia a "disaster." "This disaster would be com- pounded if Indochina were he said. Dulles read statement to news- men on hit arrival it the Syracuse Airport from Paris en route to his hideaway retreat on Duck Island in Lake fenUrio. He said a more serious disaster "can be prevented if the free na- tions are unity of pur- pose depend! on full understand- Dulles said the possibility of a 10-nation alliance similar to NATO, proposed for the Southeast Pacific, "has been enhanced by my talks." The proposed alliance would aim to stem Communist expansion in Indochina and the rest of Southeast Asia. Dulles discussed the matter this woek in London with British For- eign Secretary Eden and with French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault in Paris. Dulles said "our common pur- pose" was set forth In joint state- ments issued after each of those talks. He pointed, out that Thailand al- ready had agreed to participate in the proposed 10-nation alliance and added "now President Magsaysay of the Philippines indicated acceptance la principle." Dulles said he believed the pro- posed 10-natioa alliance would head off Communist ambition to control Southeast Asia. He declined to answer any ques- tions and said "I now have an- other very important engagement." He referred to his visit to his Lake Ontario retreat before going to Washington and returning to Paris early next week. He left for Main Duck Island in a two-engine amphibian aircraft, piloted by Richard K. Benson of Chaumont, N.Y. Mrs. Dulles accompanied the sec- retary. In Paris, American sources con- ceded formal negotiations' for the proposed alliance probably could get underway before the Geneva conference on the Far East, sched- uled to open'ApiO 26. State Department aides in Wash- ington said "working parties" would be set up within a few days to chart specific steps toward forming tht united front in the shortest possible time. Dulles was reported anxious to get talks on the Pacific pact start- ed as soon as possible to help coun- ter any expansionist ambitions the Russians and Communist Chinese might bring to Geneva. Britain's opposition Labor party split wide open' over possible Brit- ish participation. Aneurin Bevan, fiery leader of' the faction's left wing, quit the party's high com- mand group because its moderate leadership had not opposed the project. British observers figured most of his followers would join in the revolt against former Prime Minister Clement Attlee, the party's leader. In France, already almost over her head in the Indochina war, the proposed alliance seemed like- ly to stir little heavy opposition except from the Communists. Indian newspapers bitterly criti- cized the Dulles-Eden-Bidault pro- posal as a blow to any chances of progress at the Geneva conference. THE WEATHER TJ.S.

Cummings, 43, died Thursday at a.m. of tetanus contracted when he was injured a week ago while plowing a yard at North 18th and Walnut Sts. Mr. Cummings was operating a small yard tractor equipped with a revolving spader in the yard of he J. 0. Brown home at the time if the accident. He had almost finished the yard when the tractor tipped over, catching his leg and mangling it. Nobody was at the house at the ime, but Mr. Cummings managed o get his leg free, and crawled lalf a block to the Bud Crow Wrecking Yard for help. He was taken to St. Ann from here. Mr. Cummings worked on con- ract for F. D. Mims, 618 Walnut St., who owned the equipment. He was born March 18, 1911, in lopkins County, and had lived in Abilene for the past six years. He was a member of Sears Bap- ist Church. Survivors include his wife; four children, Dorothy Marie, 7, Mary o, 5, Danny Gene, 3, and Randy Dean, 14 months; his parents, Mr. nd Mrs. W. A.

The man picked to take Fisher's place, Welch said, is John Kimball Jr. Like Fisher he is a lawyer with Welch's Boston firm. Welch said .the shift took place over the weekend immediately following the April 2 announcement that Fisher had drawn the assignment, and Fisher never did actually go to work on the case. The closed door quiz session with witnesses was ordered after top Army officials filed their "bill of particulars" with the Senate Inves- tigations subcommittee yesterday, detailing their accusations that Mc- Carthy had used improper pressure techniques. An informed source said the new outline was "strong- er against McCarthy" than the original report which set off the inquiry. The subcommittee, putting on all the speed it can to get the public hearings started a week from to- day, would not name the wit- nesses to be questioned by staff members, nor even tell just where or when the session would be held. Mundt said he will call an ex- traordinary Easter Sunday meet- ing of the subcommittee to explore that with McCarthy if the Wiscon- sin senator returns by then from his trip to Arizona and Texas.

Kensou is such a Lucky Dude.

she does have a goddess body...........
Nice figure drawing. I am not familiar with the character, but what I appreciate about this piece is that she is not overly skinny, but rather well proportion. She has large breasts, but she also looks like she has the appropriate body to go with them. However, the waist is still a bit too small given the size of her thighs and hips. Of course, since this is based on a character it's probably how it's suppose to look.
She is definitely a goddess in my book. Those red panties and pink hair definitely compliment one another. Nice.
oooo very sensual~!

Klaus Knopper answers your Linux questions
Ask Klaus
Klaus looks at problems with VNC-based shared desktops and a frozen screen with an Nvidia card.
VNC-Based Shared Desktop
Hi Klaus: I was asked to provide a generic method of remote desktop sharing on a fairly complex environment. The servers in this environment are running Fedora 19/20 with LightDM as the desktop manager and a variety of desktop environments available on each server (Gnome/KDE/LXDE/Xfce/Openbox) with TigerVNC as the VNC server/client.
I need each VNC session to go through system authentication via LightDM (I skip VNC passwords by setting the Xvnc option
-SecurityTypes None), but I want to be able to connect to existing sessions. I've tried to tackle this problem two different ways.
1. I managed to set up a shared Xvnc inetd service, but once the user goes through the initial LightDM authentication, any additional connections log in to the existing session WITHOUT any authentication (i.e., I can't get them to authenticate via LightDM). This, of course, is completely unacceptable from a security standpoint. I can work around the problem by forcing the VNC server to accept connections from localhost only and then from the client side use SSH local port forwarding to the VNC session, thus forcing people to authenticate via SSH, but I'm looking for a solution rather than a workaround.
2. Conversely, I managed to set up LightDM to handle all VNC connection requests by un-remarking the
[VNCServer] section in
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, but each request starts a new session. I cannot get any session to be shared.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shiron
Hopefully, I understood your request correctly, so let me explain first what happened in your two scenarios.
In your first experiment, you started the VNC server via inetd, which means that inetd will:
1. Open a port and listen to it.
2. Once a client connects, the Xvnc server is started, then LightDM running on the Xvnc server will ask for login/password as usual, and the user can log in.
3. If a second client connects, it will just be attached to the same port, same Xvnc server, and same running session, which explains what you experienced: You just get a copy of the same session with no password asked (because a user is already logged in to the running Xvnc).
What you really want is a choice of starting a new Xvnc server session or attaching to a running one using the user credentials. Unfortunately, this cannot be done by running a single Xvnc instance. Using just one network port and just running one Xvnc server will not work if you want multiple users logging in.
You will need a session manager as a gateway. It will either start a new Xvnc on a new, free local port every time a connection is made to the session manager, or it will attach the user to an already running session, which needs to be listed in the session manager's choice, asking for authentication. Here, you could add a password for Xvnc itself so that the user will be asked for her login+password when logging in the first time, and then for a "shared connection" password that will allow others to connect to the same session. This way, the login is protected, as well as access to the running Xvnc server.
So, your second experiment using LightDM as session manager for Xvnc sessions is already going in the right direction. However, a configuration with LightDM as a session manager for VNC sessions, which keeps track of all users running sessions in a list, may be more complex than necessary.
Maybe xrdp using the RDP protocol (which can be used by Linux and Windows – Windows has a built-in RDP client) is a better choice, because it comes with a session manager (sessman) and can be configured as a "terminal server" that starts up RDP user sessions on demand. The package name is xrdp in Debian. The xrdp service can be configured in
/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and started as:
/etc/init.d/xrdp start
As a nice side feature, xrdp also has a plugin to bridge protocols between running VNC sessions and remote RDP connection requests. For this reason, I use it in Knoppix, too, for remote desktop viewing and control for teachers when started from the menu, exporting the running local session.
Frozen Screen
I have a relatively new HP notebook with an NVidia card that, when starting Ubuntu, Debian, or even Knoppix, will end up in a frozen, pixelated screen. Starting Knoppix with
knoppix64 xmodule=vesa
will give me a working display but with the wrong resolution. How can I get the full resolution and decent performance?
The graphics chipset in question (
lspci shows the card as ID 10de:0cbc) is not completely supported in the Nouveau driver, which is the open source accelerated Xorg module for NVidia cards. With some rather minor drawbacks, you can still use this card without installing a proprietary driver.
The trick is that the Nouveau kernel module needs to be loaded with option
noaccel=1, which can be set in
/etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf as:
options nouveau noaccel=1
Note that
modeset=1, which is needed for kernel mode settings to switch resolutions, is normally enabled by default. Or, in the boot loader's
APPEND line, use:
Additionally, make sure to set:
Option "Composite" "Disable"
in the
"Extensions" section of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf; otherwise, Compiz or other desktop managers using Composite extensions for effects will cause pixel freeze. In Knoppix, disabling Composite can be done with the
nocomposite boot option. The full boot command line for Knoppix would be:
knoppix64 nouveau.noaccel=1 nocomposite
With these options, you can expect a frame rate of about 550fps in glxgears, which is even sufficient for playing Tux Racer or Neverball.

This method is pure agony, I walk the floor and really suffer greatly with the legs sensations. If the active ingredients are the same, why the need to withdraw from one before using the other?
Is there a difference in the ingredients between Pramipexole and Ropinirole?

I take that back, i look at the wrong drug, do you have parkinsons?
I am taking the meds for Restless leg Syndrome
8 Jun 2011
Hey move1,
Both of these medications are prescribed for restless leg syndrome and Parkinsonism. They act similar to the brain chemical dopamine. You must taper off the Pramipexole over a weeks time before starting the Ropinirole because of the mode of action on the brain. Unfortunately, you have to cope with the leg sensations during this time. Your dose will gradually be adjusted as you take the Ropinirole. For future reference on Ropinirole go to:
Best wishes,

About MeI am a born performer and many artists refer to me as their muse. I specialize in film acting/motion picture collaborations which is my passion and God-given talent. I built my foundation for film acting via working in many genres of modeling, which I am still very active in. I am passionate about my work as a performer and am very dedicated to cultivate and perfect my art in all areas. I have modeling experience in the fields of: Facial Beauty modeling, Silent Acting for Print/Videography, Hair Modeling (runway, demo and platform,) Fit Modeling, Print Fashion, Beauty Parts Modeling, Fashion Runway, Glamor, Personality, Alternative, Editorial and Commercial print. Genuine emoting for images and film is my specialty.
After graduating from the Ohio State University I attended HB studio-NYC on scholarship studying acting technique. I also completed a voice-over class (VideoActive Productions) which was also provided via scholarship. I am beginning to study components of film directing, It fascinates me as an artist.
If you wish to collaborate on a project (Serious inquiries only please.) whether it be modeling or film acting please feel free to contact me. I am an innovator and a visualizer and enjoy participating in the collaboration if it is appropriate for the project.
*Have a Beautiful Day!*

General franchise/Mixed media
- Word of Saint Paul: It is generally accepted among the fandom that Korin from Road of no return was Geralt's biological father. However, it was not Sapkowski who came up with this idea, but rather Maciej Parowski, writer of the comic book adaptation.
"The Hexer" movie and TV series
- You Sound Familiar: Jaroslaw Boberek, who plays Yarpen, later went on to voice The Professor in the first video game... and Yarpen in the sequel.
Short stories and saga
- Fan Translation: The only way you can read The Sword of Destiny and finish the saga in English, as the official translations end right now (2014) with Baptism of Fire. Although British English translations of The Tower of the Swallow and Lady of the Lake are supposed to be published in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The Sword of Destiny was completely skipped in America, going straight to Blood of Elves, but a translation was released in the UK in May 2015 to coincide with the third game.
- Schedule Slip: There was a 5-year wait between the English translations of Blood of Elves and The Time of Contempt owing to problems with the publisher and the original translator's schedule, but the series seems to be back on track.
Tabletop RPG
- Fan Translation: At least three were started...
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: Paper editions of "White Wolf" are becoming more and more rare, since they were printed in relatively small numbers and in fragile magazine format. PDF bootleg version? They are all copies of one and the same scan. Most of the articles published in the defunct "Sword and Sorcery" magazine don't even have scans, so it's all up to people who own certain issues to keep circulating them.
- No Export for You: There in no other language version than Polish and MAG Publishing House left the tabletop RPG market in 2004, so chances are really low for any export.
- The Wiki Rule: For both the novels and the game.
- Word of Dante: Since the author has a rather Shrug of God-style attitude, many world-building details were filled out by the fandom, the tabletop game, and finally the video games. The world map is probably the best example, as no map has ever been included in the novels. Even then it's just one of several versions circulating in the fandom.
The Game Trilogy
- Disowned Adaptation: Downplayed. Sapkowski has stated that while he respects CD Projekt RED's storytelling abilities, he doesn't consider the games to be canon.
- What Could Have Been: There was a Witcher game in development from 1996-97, although it went nowhere and was unofficially cancelled.
- The preview material for this project was the first time "Witcher" was used as an English translation of Wiedźmin, before the film went with "Hexer".

I placed orders with all three companies within 1 hour of each other through each of their respective web sites. Each company indicated that the item(s) I ordered are in stock. Here's my little comparison of the experience;
ease of ordering:
Performance - average (I used a coupon and there was some confusion as to whether the coupon was being applied)
Nashbar - excellent (easy to use and the coupon was applied immediately and in an obvious manner)
Colorado Cyclist - average (order interface is pretty basic, but it got the job done)
Order follow up:
Performance - horrific (I received a confirmation email, but was not told how it was to be shipped to me)
Nashbar - excellent (two emails, one confirming the order and one with a link to the FedEx tracking page)
Colorado Cyclist - excellent (two emails, one confirming the order and one with a link to the UPS tracking information)
Actual delivery
Performance - horrific (their tracking information has yet to indicate that the items have shipped ... 4 days later. Customer service is not open past 6 during the week or at all on weekends)
Nashbar - excellent (items arrived as expected 4 days after the order)
Colorado Cyclist - excellent (items will arrive in the next few days as confirmed by the tracking information).
Prices between Nashbar and Performance were comparable for all but two items, so I broke up the order. Otherwise I would have stuck with Nashbar. Colorado Cyclist was the only one to offer one specific part I needed. I have a right mind to avoid Performance like the plague in the future. Their service was unacceptable at best.

Wayne Reynolds once again strikes with an evocative piece that is guaranteed to make you smile when you're in the middle of flavor text at the next game you host.
This poster is perfect for bachelors living on their own with their game room/living room to be decorated at their leisure. This is probably Wayne's best work since he started in the industry and when you have it hanging, you won't find that statement untrue.
Thank you Wayne and Paizo!
For those that are looking at these samples online, let me assure you, that you want these cards in your game.
First, they fit. You don't need a location for a hit, no extra tables needed. Did someone critical? Just pull the top card.
Do you (like me) hate having to do flavor text when instead you'd go through the rest of combat? This does solve a lot of worries, as it gives very little game rules, but enough fluff in the description of the bloody encounter to get players worried.
And you'll use this on your players more than your monsters. So keep this in mind if you've been seeing a lot of cards used in a night, there is a decapitation result. If you are like me and pull a card, there is a very real possibility that your game will get halted as you've just killed the party cleric.
Are you really into the idea of a critical hit deck? Combine this with the Critical Fumble Deck and use them in separate stacks at your table. You won't have to worry about stupid house rules for criticals, as this system of crits and fumbles is the best on the market, for any system-especially PATHFINDER/3.x
Excellent product and use of your wages, once again, a win for Paizo. Huzzah!

It's a tough road to go from undrafted free agent to impact NFL player, but it does happen. The New York Giants struck gold with UDFA wideout Victor Cruz, and there is at least a chance that they could find a diamond in the rough with South Carolina DT Kelcy Quarles, who went undrafted earlier this month.
Will NYG UDFA Quarles make an impact?

Hallo zusammen,
wir waren sehr zufrieden! Die Wohnung war sauber und die Gegend sehr schön. Zum Meer hatten wir es zu Fuß nicht weit. Die Wohnung hatte eine Klimaanlage und eine große Terrasse mit Blick auf das Meer. Kann man nur empfehlen! Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort hinfahren.
Everything was fine, the property is located 200 m from a little sandy beach that is quiet and very good with children.
Thank you ana for a wonderful holiday! We had a great time in our apartment, which was very nice and clean.
Das appartment ist genau so, wie man auf den photos sehen kann. Von zadar ist das örtchen privlaka ca 15 km entfernt. Es ist alles vor ort, was man braucht und mein tipp: kauft das obst und gemüse direkt von den bauern an der straße! Es ist nicht nur günstiger, sondern auch besser! :-)
Der kontakt zu den vermietern ist sehr nett und sie haben uns bei allen fragen weitergeholfen! Ein auto vor ort ist empfehlenswert, da privlaka eher beschaulich ist und zum nächst größeren ort (nin) sind es ca 4-5 km.
Alles in allem: ein toller urlaub! Wir kommen wieder!
Vidimo se!!!!!
Ein sehr schönes Apartment. Sehr netter Kontakt zur Vermieterfamilie.
Die Lage ist verkehrsgünstig, ca. 15km von Zadar entfernt.
We had a great stay in Anas apartment. Very clean apartment, friendly and helpful owner. The reservation process was professional and trustful.
We came late in the evening, so it was nice to be welcomed with food for making breakfast the day after. The apartment was easy to find, located in a quiet area close to lovely historical town Nin just north of Zadar. Our two kids also loved the stay, so it is easy to recommend Anas apartment and service to everyone!
Spacious and very nice accommodation - comfortable - terrace - located near Zadar - quiet location - very warm welcome - recommend
Logement spacieux et très agréable - tout confort - belle terrasse - bien situé près de Zadar - lieu calme - Accueil très chaleureux - A recommander
We (4 people) spent 10 days in Ana´s very nice and clean apartment. Everything in the flat fit the description on the homepage, all pictures show the reality. We had lovely evenings on our own balcony and a very nice time on the beach (2 min from the flat). Ana and her family are very nice people and helped us in all matter we had. It was a really nice holiday for us, just relax and enjoy the great weather.
I can fully recommend it!

Well, that was fast.
Just a day ago, Emma Stone (Zombieland, the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man) was offered the lead of Elizabeth Bennett in Liongate's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but, according to Deadline, Stone has said no. Stone isn't the first.
Initially announced in late 2009, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies had Natalie Portman cast as Bennett, as well as producing the project. Writer-director David O. Russell (The Fighter) joined not long after, wrote a reportedly terrific adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's best–selling mash–up novel that combined Jane Austen's original text and added the undead, then promptly quit. So did Portman a month later, staying on only as a producer. Director Mike White (Year of the Dog) soon replaced Russell, but then also quit.
Fright Night remake director Craig Gillespie was hired in April, and ordered screenwriter Marti Noxon to perform a rewrite on Russell's script. Whatever work Noxon was able to do was not enough to convince Stone to jump on board. Either that, or Stone is holding out for Zombieland 2.

Decent Bits!
By Mike
from Texas
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
These bits are actually very nice. First use was to drill 3/4 hole through doubled studs. I have a very good drill with lots of torque so that is part of the equation, but still the bit is sharp and seems well made and it cut through the studs like they were butter. Shanks are not long, but long enough to go through the two studs with a little to spare.
Lots of Blades
By Mjr
from Indiana
Very nice addition to my Dremel Tool collection at a fraction of the cost. Blades hold up well and cut exactly has they should, nice and sharp. Great for small projects were you need to accurately cut pretty much any type of wood.
Love those bits!
By HOBBY GAL
from Salem, Oregon
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Did a great job. Used for bird houses.
Good for light duty
By Cupcub
from Seattle Wa
I used these to drill 1/2" holes in the hard plastic saddle bags for my motorcycle to prepare them for mounting. They worked great for that but I don''t think they are made for more heavy duty work. If you are drilling 1" holes thru a 2x4 or 4x4 I wouldn't use these, but if you need a 1" hole drilled thru a piece of drywall or hard plastic saddlebag, these work great for very little money.Really just a case of getting what you pay for.
Good set of bits for the price
By Bob the builder
from Las Vegas, NV
All and all a good set of bits, I don't use them every day, but they do a good job when needed. They cut through 2x4s fairly quickly and make a nice clean hole. They work well but let the bit do the work. DON'T PUSH TOO HARD. My son was muscling thru a stud when we were doing some wiring and the bit caught just before breaking thru the stud and bent the shaft. He didn't destroy the bit though. I laid it out on a flat metal surface and with a little bit of hammering was able to straighten it back out and it still works great. Just let the bit do the work and don't force it. I think they're a quality product at a great price.
Bent out of the box
By Paul
from Massachusetts
All the bits were severely bent right out of the box. Totally useless.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Extremely poor quality
By Trent
from Baton Rouge, LA
In my own experience, most things you get from HF are either hit or miss. I don't know what they were even swinging at with these... Right out of the box, they were bent. I had a pilot hole drilled. The bit was so bent, I couldn't even hit the pilot hole with the drill spinning.

Bent and Broken in Record Time
By Ogre
from Spokane, WA
Using these to drill through floor joists and subfloors, and the slightest inconsistency in the material that is being bored through causes these to bend and/or break off. Pretty much awful for any use besides attaching paper to a corkboard...

30min Challenge - Earth by atrylWatch

What I'm wondering is, how can you make something like /this/ in thirty minutes? Seems impossible. o~o
Very beautiful and awesome ^^

The literal earth pony. Very neat concept! I'd definitely be interested in seeing you do some other elemental ponies in the future.
I wasn't home when the water was going and I missed the electricity as well, but I'll raw them in the future
Beautifully deatiled.
My oc would be terrified if she met that pony.
This is far better than any of those NSFW arts.
Can I lock you up im my closet with a tablet and laptop, and feed you cookies would you draw me stuff like this? xD
This is amazing

Wow. That is just... wow.

So ice is not considered an element the water?

Virginia Gov. Restores Scooter Libby's Voting Rights
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has restored the voting rights of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
If you remember Libby was former Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff. As the AP explains, "he was convicted in 2007 of perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements in a case involving leaked information that compromised the covert identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Libby's 2½-year prison sentence was commuted by then-President George W. Bush."
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported yesterday that the Republican governor included Libby's name in a list of 1,000 felons whose rights he restored in 2012.
The paper reports that McDonnell had expressed an interest in the "automatic restoration of civil rights for nonviolent felons during his annual State of the Commonwealth address but the state legislature defeated efforts to change the Virginia Constitution"
"The governor has established the quickest and fairest restoration of rights process in Virginia history," McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin told the paper. "He believes in second chances and redemption, and those basic beliefs drive this administration's work on the issue."
