|Rear Bag Cover and Method of Attachment By Brackets - The invention is an apparatus and method for attaching a cover to a golf cart by brackets and the brackets themselves. The tension supplied by the brackets may be the only mechanism by which the cover mounts to the golf cart. Brackets are preferably configured for attachment to the roof of the golf cart. The apparatus may include brackets for mounting the cover to the roof, a stationary main frame member, a movable frame member, and a cover. Brackets receive the stationary frame member. The movable frame member is operatively secured to the stationary main frame member, and configured to pivotably rotate over a portion of the rear compartment of the golf cart. The cover is configured for attachment to the movable frame member so that when the movable frame member rotates over a portion of the rear compartment of the golf cart, the cover covers a portion of the rear compartment of the golf cart.

In 2000, a jury awarded $9.8 million to the family of an electrician who died of asbestos-related cancer after years of employment in New York's power plants.
Weitz & Luxenberg lawyers Robert Gordon and Michael Roberts tried the case. They said that the deceased, Dominick Fazio, had inhaled asbestos particles during more than 20 years of working with asbestos-containing boilers in power generating plants for the city of New York.
A New York Law Journal article that covered the story, quoted Gordon as saying, "He worked in areas where he was exposed to asbestos products. In late 1998, he got mesothelioma, which is a cancer from asbestos. Unfortunately, he died prior to the trial."
Reportedly, the boilers had been installed in the 14th Street Powerhouse, one of the places where Mr. Fazio worked.
Mr. Fazio, who lived on Long Island, was diagnosed with mesothelioma at age 71. He died on March 13, at 72. The case was brought by his widow and three grown children.
From shipfitters, pipefitters and demolition workers, to those toiling on railroads and in construction, Weitz & Luxenberg has many clients whose needless and entirely avoidable exposure to asbestos ultimately led to them developing asbestos-related diseases.
Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure in America and Canada may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease. If you would like a free consultation or more information about your legal options, please complete the form, and a representative of our law firm will contact you as soon as possible.
The family of a former Navy shipfitter who died earlier this year of mesothelioma received a verdict of against a manufacturer of boilers that were insulated with asbestos.
Two men sought help after getting cancer due to asbestos-tainted products. Crane Co., the product manufacturer, acted recklessly and with conscious disregard for safety. W&L is relentless in ensuring that innocent victims are not brushed aside.
Without W&L, the people poisoned by asbestos would have no recourse or protection.

So I am riding in my first race on Saturday. I'll be riding the 35-mile version of El Tour de Tucson. I know I can can do the distance and I am fairly confident that I won't come in last, but I am nervous. Mostly I am nervous about riding in a group. I usually ride with a two other guys, but have never really ridden in a group.
So what I am wondering is; do you guys have some tips and information for me? What should I do or not do?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Enrollment dips slightly at Oklahoma's public colleges and universities, state report shows
Oklahoma's college enrollment is down slightly this year, according to a preliminary report released Thursday.
State higher education officials released numbers for the fall 2012 semester that show enrollment at public colleges and universities slipped 0.9 percent over the previous year.
That dip was driven by sharper drops at regional schools and community colleges. Enrollment at regional universities dropped 2.9 percent, while enrollment at community colleges is down 2.1 percent.
At the state's two research universities — the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University — enrollment climbed 3.1 percent.
The decline comes after several years of booming enrollment growth. Between 2009 and 2011, the higher education system added more than 16,000 students — a figure that nearly equals the enrollment of the University of Central Oklahoma.
Although enrollment is down slightly at Oklahoma's public schools, it increased by 3.8 percent at the state's private colleges and universities. Although it's difficult to point to a reason for the shift, the increase in private university enrollment could be a sign of the rebounding economy, said Tony Hutchison, the State Regents for Higher Education's vice chancellor for strategic planning, analysis and workforce and economic development.
At the onset of the recession, private colleges and universities took a greater enrollment hit than public schools did, Hutchison said. The increase in private college enrollment might simply mean those schools are beginning to catch up, he said.

Guerrero actually stunned Berto a couple times which was pretty shocking because I thought the same as you..
I said there is no way, he can hurt Berto, judging from his Aydin fight he showed that he can box on the back foot with a lot of volume not much pop, but he also showed with berto that if he sits on his punches, he definitely has great power...
I think he can hurt may with a left straight when May is on the ropes with his shoulder roll.
Guerrero's Work rate, south paw stance, and size gives him a pretty good chance for the Upset, specially considering, may will be inactive for another year, and last time out he was very stationary even with Ortiz and relies to much on his inside defense, but he can't do that with a south paw specially with one with great reach and size like GUerrero he will get caught, but IDK if Guerrero will win, I do think he has a shot.. this Mayweather is to stationary IMO with a high volume southpaw.... Guerrero's doesn't have a questionable heart like Ortiz and will leave it all in the ring, he will make mayweathe Fight IMO!
Anyone can hurt Berto because he's not in shape. Guerrero doesn't have the footwork to stay outside. If he tries to fight inside, he's giving up the southpaw advantage. Once Floyd takes the angle away, the fight is over.

Soul Calibur V Teaser Transcends History
Written Thursday, May 12, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
A tale of souls and swords eternally retold... That's Soul Calibur V that is. Is the tale eternally retold, because no one really understands what the hell is going on the first time? Whatever the case, Soul Calibur is officially back, and Namco Bandai has released the debut trailer to coincide with the game's announcement at its LevelUp conference in Dubai.
Featuring Siegfried and Nightmare, as well as the good and evil versions of the ubiquitous sword, the trailer is typically OTT, but sadly shows little in the way of gameplay. OK, it shows no gameplay, but it does show Nightmare roaring and a glimpse of Sophitia raising the weapon above her head. Looks like the story might still heavily involve Siegfried and his corrupted alter-ego then.
In fact, Sophitia's son Patroklos will be at the centre of the story too, who we assume is the blonde fella in the eye of the evil sword. That would make sense. Check out the short teaser trailer below for a first look at Soul Calibur V, then look out for the game in 2012.

A general lack of funding is stifling business growth and innovation in Southwest Washington, community economic development officials and business owners say. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, commercial bank loans are still scarce and venture capital investment is even more elusive for startup companies seeking rapid expansion.
And so the Columbia River Economic Development Council is leading an effort to build a $5 million community equity fund that would pump $500,000 to $1 million at a time into a handful of local early-stage companies.
The fund will help companies "span the valley of death between startup financing and a proven business model," said CREDC President Bart Phillips. "They need that capital to grow."
CREDC in January first floated the idea as an economic development and job creation tool modeled after similar programs in communities around the world that provide money in locations that traditional venture capital has ignored. The nonprofit Community Development Venture Capital Association counts at least 60 community equity funds with a total of $2 billion under management in 2009.
But CREDC's model is a hybrid of different investment strategies, adapted to the specific needs of this region, and therefore still largely untested.
"This thing is conceptual and it's easy to critique," Phillips said, "let's make it better."
Private funding
No taxpayer dollars would go directly to the fund, although public agencies would likely be involved in staffing or other support, said Camas Mayor Paul Dennis, part of a group of business leaders involved in planning the fund. Instead, CREDC will likely establish an independent agency or nonprofit to manage the fund and recruit investors from a variety of sources inside and outside of the community.
CREDC's plan earlier this year was to raise $5 million to $10 million for the fund through a mix of public and private dollars, but board members were skeptical about the feasibility of that plan, Phillips said. The scope has since been scaled back to a $2.5 million to $5 million fund.
Experienced investors would manage the fund with two main objectives: earn a high rate of return and create jobs in Clark County. Their investments would focus on companies in the county's growth industries including diversified manufacturing, microelectronics, renewable energy and medical devices.
The idea is to provide funding for startup companies that have passed the seed stage and are looking to ramp-up hiring and production, but aren't quite big enough to qualify for a bank loan or attract venture capital funding, Dennis said.
"There is risk, but less risk than a (brand new) startup," Dennis said.
Risky business
The fund would offer investors an opportunity to bet on Southwest Washington as a region, but investing in companies that aren't yet ready for venture capital or traditional bank loans, also carries a higher risk.
"If the banks and the professional lenders aren't able to see their way clear in financing those kind of ventures then why would it be a better investment for some other entity?" said Ron Wysaske, president of Riverview Bank in Vancouver. "If it's worth doing and has financial viability there should be financing available from the more traditional sources of capital, in most cases that being banks."
Unlike a loan, which lands a business in debt, the fund would offer equity to be redeemed only when the company has reached the next stage. But such a fund could also have a hard time attracting investors because it would be limited to companies located within Clark County's relatively small geographic boundaries or those willing to relocate here.
Several traditional investment funds focused on companies in certain states or even on the entire Pacific Northwest already have a limited number of high-growth companies to choose from, said Brad Zenger, managing director of Pivotal Investments, a clean technology venture capital firm based in Portland. The most likely way to generate double-digit returns happens when investors find companies that can compete globally, outside of their immediate market, in places such as California and China, he said.
"If you limit yourself to investing only in your neighborhood then you risk doing suboptimal deals that ultimately can't scale," Zenger said.
Limiting investment to companies with a presence in Clark County could also increase the risk that one countywide catastrophe, such as plummeting real estate values, would devastate the fund.
"If you're diversifying a portfolio, why live here and have a business here and invest here?" said Alisa Pyszka, business development manager for the city of Vancouver.
Pyszka suggests it might make more sense to direct Clark County's efforts toward attracting investment from venture capital firms in Seattle and Portland instead of trying to create a smaller version of that here.
Incentive to move
Much of the risk in concentrating on one area can be overcome, however, through a "disciplined" investment process, Zenger said. The fund should focus on finding "the best deal in the country that happens to be in your neighborhood," and not just the best deal in the neighborhood, he said.
That's why Phillips says the fund won't necessarily focus on companies headquartered in the Vancouver metro area, but also those that want to establish operations here. That way the fund would act as an incentive for companies to move to Vancouver for their next stage of growth.
"We've definitely run into established companies where an equity investment of $1 million or $2 million would have landed the company in the community," Phillips said. "Especially in renewable energy, it would have made a difference in where they located."
Phillips cited companies such as nLight Photonics, which moved to Vancouver from Seattle about 10 years ago, as the sort of successful startup company the fund would like to create.
But nLight moved to Vancouver with $55 million in funding, while the community equity fund would provide less than 5 percent of that amount to companies relocating here now. Still, most of that venture capital investment in early-stage companies would go to hiring people, providing a direct benefit to the community, said Scott Keeney, chief executive officer of nLight.
"Anything we can do to encourage more startups in the area would be a good thing," Keeney said. If the CREDC board approves the plan, the next step will be a feasibility study to gauge investor interest and identify potential investment opportunities.
The development council is now seeking feedback on the community equity fund model from investors, business owners and other community leaders, and expects the fund to make its first investment in about 18 months.

Shawn was still watching the exchange between Skarmory and Croagunk and shakes his head sadly, not sure what to make of all this. It seemed like Croagunk was having a tough time with the battle. His mind was thinking as though he was the trainer: how could Croagunk win? Sooner or later, it would tire out from the Astonish attacks.
"Physical attacks are out due to the hard shell," he muttered, "Ground attacks are useless...fire attacks and electric attacks are its weaknesses, but Croagunk can't learn them naturally..." What could it do?
Suddenly, an idea struck him. "Revenge! Fighting attacks do ok on steel, and it would be doubly powerful if Croagunk gets hit first. Question is, though, how much more can it take from Skarmory? And does it know the attack?"
Shawn was torn. He wanted to help, but he didn't want to interrupt their battle. After all, the pokemon have to learn for themselves.

Everyone lives what you guys are usually up too. Such
clever work and coverage! Keep up the excellent works guys I've you guys to blogroll.
Just so you know, the behind the scenes photos you're about to feast your eyes on were so incredibly fun to shoot and style. Why? Our lovely models had the chance to strut their stuff in some of our fave ensembles. So, take a peek and make sure to tell us what item(s) you are lusting over.
This neon necklace is one of our fave accessories. Trust us when we tell you that you'll be seeing it a lot more.
Jumpsuits and spiked bracelets? It's definitely a GoJane dream come true.
Snakeskin and vegan leather heel-less platforms? No, you're not dreaming, we pinky promise.
Our model getting caffeinated and rocking plenty of cool accessories.
Our models may or may not be doing Pilates in this picture.
Take note: you can do karate (or the running man?) in these heel-less platforms.Yep, they're that comfortable.
Our model was such a good sport- she spent a good ten minutes jumping up and down so we could get a shot that was just right.
What GoJane is all about: racks of completely gorg clothes.
One of our photographers getting the perfect shot.
Optical illusion dresses are so in right now and we can't wait for this dress to go on the site- it's so chic.
Our model donning a Billy Idol scowl.
This lilac shirt happens to be sinfully silky and looks so amazing with all these cool bangles and woven bracelets, right?
Lace-up shorts for summer? Yes please!
Can't decide what we love more- the semi-sheer floral blouse, bold oversized clutch, skull bracelets, or the shoes… Decisions, decisions!
Shhhh… preview of an upcoming blog post.
Denim is cool, especially when paired with this delightfully girly floral romper and stunning heel-less platforms.
Told you you'd see this necklace again!
Loving the bold lip. What about you?
Not only are these outfits amazing (definitely can't wait to get our pedicured paws on some of those rings!), but our models look so good, right?!
Okay, so that's all (for now), but we'll be back soon with even more must-have goodies. By the way, what was your favorite pic and why?
Everyone lives what you guys are usually up too. Such
clever work and coverage! Keep up the excellent works guys I've you guys to blogroll.

This will give the psychotherapist time to assess the couple and come to a finish
for the plan they will surely like to chase. If you cannot go away overnight, then consider spending an entire day with your spouse from 7
am until 10 pm.
Useful info. Lucky me I discovered your web site by accident, and I'm shocked why this twist of fate didn't
happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
Wonderful website you have here but I was wondering if
you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics talked about in this article?
I'd really love to be a part of group where I can get suggestions from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Many thanks!
Hi mates, its impressive post on the topic of educationand
completely defined, keep it up all the time.
Heya i am for the primary time here. I found this board and I find It really useful &
it helped me out a lot. I'm hoping to provide one thing back and help others such as you helped me.
Right away I am going away to do my breakfast, afterward
having my breakfast coming again to read other news.
Hello there! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm trying to
find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this
issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
If you are going for best contents like I do, just pay a quick visit this web page
everyday since it gives feature contents, thanks
I was recommended this blog by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written
by him as no one else know such detailed about my problem.
You're wonderful! Thanks!

White Consults on Crafting New Civics Curriculum for Mongolia
Professor Charles White will travel to Ulaanbaatar at the end of September to assist in the design of a new civics curriculum for Mongolia. A new democratic government was just formed, including a new minister of education who strongly supports democracy education. They have acquired funding from the United Nations Development Programme to establish a working group to develop a civics curriculum for all grades (1-12). Professor White was asked to spend a week as a consultant and workshop leader for the group.

Sometimes when we're following a story we come to the startling and awful realization that our protagonists are horrible characters. Maybe they're not written very well, or given a good role in the story, or maybe they're just terrible people. Whatever the case is, some protagonists are just unlikable. And that most certainly is not supposed to be the case as often as it is. The other day while replaying Star Ocean, I got to thinking of all the horrible protagonists out there that I am supposed to like, and I came to a not very startling conclusion: most of them are cishet, white men who are also full of entitlement. This is not the case for all unlikable protagonists—but it is the case for enough of them. And it really goes to show just how boring and generic our stories are, since there is very little variation in this character type. As such, I decided to compile a list of my Top 5 worst protagonists who I am supposed to like, but who are really just giant assholes.

Sexualized Saturdays: Twilight and Fifty Shades of Abusive Relationships
Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey are two of the most polarizing books that I have ever been unfortunate enough to read. It's important to remember that it's all right to enjoy something with problematic material. You just need to be aware of why it's problematic. I've read and liked a lot of stories about abusive relationships—even recced a fic or two—but the biggest difference between reading fanfiction with glorified abuse and the Twilight and Fifty Shades books are that these fic authors are actually aware that their stories feature abuse and use disclaimers accordingly. Fanfiction is also often less about telling a cohesive story and more about expressing interpretations to already preexisting works of art. It's not the same as writing for cash and putting a copy of their work in every bookstore out there. Stephenie Meyer and E. L. James don't seem to realize the abuse they wrote, and what concerns me about their novels is that they do trick real people into believing that abuse—sometimes even rape—is a sign of love. Both these stories are incredibly misogynistic. They mistake abuse for love, sometimes even use love to excuse abuse, while also encouraging male entitlement and female submission.
Spoilers for both Twilight and Fifty Shades below, as well as a trigger warning for suicide, abuse, rape, and unhealthy relationships.
Sexualized Saturdays: All Women Want is a Date and Nothing Else
So I don't know how many of you may have noticed, but most fictional women seem to be motivated by one thing: makeup.
Okay, and men.
Obviously I may very well launch into a post on why that's not true. But instead, let's also talk about why it's a damaging idea. So let me start this off with a quick backstory on myself. I'm a nerd. I'm an asexual nerd who never felt the need to seek out a man. I only got a partner eventually because Lady Geek Girl all but super-glued my current boyfriend and I together. But as you can all imagine, it was quite a rough ride for a while. And though the two of us have been dating for almost six years now, I had never been keen on seeking a partner out beforehand.
I just wasn't interested in it, but I felt as though I would never be happy without a guy, because according to every movie I've watched ever, a guy is what I needed. Lord knows, as a woman, I can't take care of myself, so I need a man to make me happy and to provide for me.
Furthermore, believing that not wanting a partner made me the odd one out and having a skewed frame of reference from the media, I simply didn't understand other girls growing up. Sure, I had my geeky friends and they all had the occasional crush, but I honestly believed that every other female our age talked about nothing but boys and makeup, which also made me feel as though being a non-nerd girl was very dull.
Trailer Tuesdays: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
I saw this and just couldn't resist. This movie will either be awesome or just downright stupid. I'm hoping for the former. After all, who doesn't want to watch our sixteenth president slay the undead, and hey, it doesn't look like anyone sparkles in this movie, which is always a plus. To be perfectly honest, when I first saw this trailer, all I could think was that movie makers really are either brilliant or creatively bankrupt. This is a movie that is very obviously going to sell by simply being ridiculous, despite such a serious trailer. In order to be taken seriously, I can't imagine that it would be that hard to replace dear old Abe with some random dude, so as to not bastardize our history for a good laugh.
Why they chose Abraham Lincoln and not some other president was beyond me until I found out this little fact right here: it is based on a novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, the author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which is also getting a movie adaption sometime in the near future. Suddenly, the existence of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter made so much sense, and hell, if it's by Seth Grahme-Smith, it has to be worth it.
Even if it's not a good movie, per say, it'll at least be entertaining, which is all the more Seth's works aspire to be.
On top of that, even the book for this one has a trailer too, and unlike the Inheritance trailer, it doesn't completely waste anyone's time.
Personally, I love this one YouTube comment for it.
"Four score and seven years ago I slayed Edward Cullen."
– Abraham Lincoln
Trailer Tuesdays: Breaking Dawn
I realize that this trailer has probably been out for a while now, but I don't really keep up with the hype anymore, or at all, for that matter. Unfortunately, this may not be the only time we're ever going to see a Breaking Dawn trailer, because it's quite possible that like Harry Potter, this may be a two-parter. Though, I'm not really sure what Breaking Dawn actually has to offer in order to make two movies.

May 31, 2016
Courts across Michigan opened their doors Tuesday as part of the fourth annual National Adoption Day. Normally, adoption hearings are closed to the public, but to raise awareness and celebrate families, the courts opened their doors, and families opened their hearts to tell their stories.
There are 19,000 foster children in Michigan. The state says 4,600 of those children are available for adoption, and possible homes have been found for 4,200 of them. Many of those children looking for homes are teens and pre-teens. And the state says those are the age groups with the largest need for adoptive families.
Family Court Judge Janelle Lawless says it's wonderful to a part of creating new families, and wants the stories of adoption to serve as encouragement for others. National Adoption Day is scheduled to allow the new families to celebrate the holidays together.

I've been riding my mountain bike regularly for 3 months now and would like to consider the move to a road bike. My concerns are about a bike that will handle my weight. I've already bent a wheel on my MTB and don't want that to happen on a new bike. I mainly ride a local paved trail that is mostly flat but does have some hills that kick my butt. I'm also trying to rehab an injured knee so most of my time is in the seat. I am hoping to be ready to ride my first century by next June and would like to do it on the new bike.
I appreciate any feedback.
Thank you for your time,

- Docker Engine for running the
- Kitematic, the Docker GUI
- a shell preconfigured for a Docker command-line environment
- Oracle VM VirtualBox
Because the Docker daemon uses Linux-specific kernel features, you can't run
Docker natively in Windows. Instead, you must use
docker-machine to create and attach to a Docker VM on your machine. This VM hosts Docker for you on your Windows system.
The virtual machine runs a lightweight Linux distribution made specifically to run the Docker daemon. The VirtualBox VM runs completely from RAM, is a small ~24MB download, and boots in approximately 5s.
To run Docker, your machine must have a 64-bit operating system running Windows 7 or higher. Additionally, you must make sure that virtualization is enabled on your machine. To verify your machine meets these requirements, do the following:
Right click the Windows Start Menu and choose System.
If you are using an unsupported version of Windows, you should consider upgrading your operating system in order to try out Docker.
Make sure your CPU supports virtualization technology and virtualization support is enabled in BIOS and recognized by Windows.
For Windows 8, 8.1 or 10
Choose Start > Task Manager. On Windows 10, click more details. Navigate to the Performance tab. Under CPU you should see the following:
If virtualization is not enabled on your system, follow the manufacturer's instructions for enabling it.
For Windows 7
Run the Microsoft® Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool and follow the on-screen instructions.
Verify your Windows OS is 64-bit (x64)
How you do this verification depends on your Windows version. For details, see the Windows article How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.
Note: If you have Docker hosts running and you don't wish to do a Docker Toolbox installation, you can install the
docker.exeusing the unofficial Windows package manager Chocolatey. For information on how to do this, see Docker package on Chocolatey.
Learn the key concepts before installing
In a Docker installation on Linux, your machine is both the localhost and the Docker host. In networking, localhost means your computer. The Docker host is the machine on which the containers run.
On a typical Linux installation, the Docker client, the Docker daemon, and any
containers run directly on your localhost. This means you can address ports on a
Docker container using standard localhost addressing such as
localhost:8000 or
In an Windows installation, the
docker daemon is running inside a Linux virtual
machine. You use the Windows Docker client to talk to the Docker host VM. Your
Docker containers run inside this host.
In Windows, the Docker host address is the address of the Linux VM. When you
start the VM with
docker-machine it is assigned an IP address. When you start
a container, the ports on a container map to ports on the VM. To see this in
practice, work through the exercises on this page.
If you have VirtualBox running, you must shut it down before running the installer.
Go to the Docker Toolbox page.
Click the installer link to download.
Install Docker Toolbox by double-clicking the installer.
The installer launches the "Setup - Docker Toolbox" dialog.
Press "Next" to install the toolbox.
The installer presents you with options to customize the standard installation. By default, the standard Docker Toolbox installation:
- installs executables for the Docker tools in
C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox
- install VirtualBox; or updates any existing installation
- adds a Docker Inc. folder to your program shortcuts
- updates your
PATHenvironment variable
- adds desktop icons for the Docker Quickstart Terminal and Kitematic
This installation assumes the defaults are acceptable.
- installs executables for the Docker tools in
Press "Next" until you reach the "Ready to Install" page.
The system prompts you for your password.
Press "Install" to continue with the installation.
When it completes, the installer provides you with some information you can use to complete some common tasks.
Press "Finish" to exit.
Running a Docker Container
To run a Docker container, you:
- Create a new (or start an existing) Docker virtual machine
- Switch your environment to your new VM
- Use the
dockerclient to create, load, and manage containers
Once you create a machine, you can reuse it as often as you like. Like any VirtualBox VM, it maintains its configuration between uses.
There are several ways to use the installed tools, from the Docker Quickstart Terminal or from your shell.
Using the Docker Quickstart Terminal
Find the Docker Quickstart Terminal icon on your Desktop and double-click to launch it.
The application:
- Opens a terminal window
- Creates a
defaultVM if it doesn't exist, and starts the VM after
- Points the terminal environment to this VM
Once the launch completes, you can run
Verify your setup succeeded by running the
$ docker run hello-world Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally 511136ea3c5a: Pull complete 31cbccb51277: Pull complete e45a5af57b00: Pull complete hello-world:latest: The image you are pulling has been verified. Important: image verification is a tech preview feature and should not be relied on to provide security. Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest Hello from Docker. This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. To generate this message, Docker took the following steps: 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon. 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub. (Assuming it was not already locally available.) 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading. 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal. To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with: $ docker run -it ubuntu bash For more examples and ideas, visit: http://docs.docker.com/userguide/
Using Docker from Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
Launch a Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
docker-machinecommand requires
ssh.exein your
PATHenvironment variable. This
.exeis in the MsysGit
Add this to the
%PATH%environment variable by running:
set PATH=%PATH%;"c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin"
Create a new Docker VM.
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox my-default Creating VirtualBox VM... Creating SSH key... Starting VirtualBox VM... Starting VM... To see how to connect Docker to this machine, run: docker-machine env my-default
The command also creates a machine configuration in the
C:\USERS\USERNAME\.docker\machine\machinesdirectory. You only need to run the
createcommand once. Then, you can use
docker-machineto start, stop, query, and otherwise manage the VM from the command line.
List your available machines.
C:\Users\mary> docker-machine ls NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM my-default * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.101:2376
If you have previously installed the deprecated Boot2Docker application or run the Docker Quickstart Terminal, you may have a
devVM as well.
Get the environment commands for your new VM.
C:\Users\mary> docker-machine env --shell cmd my-default
Connect your shell to the
C:\Users\mary> eval "$(docker-machine env my-default)"
Run the
hello-worldcontainer to verify your setup.
C:\Users\mary> docker run hello-world
Using Docker from PowerShell
Launch a Windows PowerShell window.
ssh.exeto your PATH:
PS C:\Users\mary> $Env:Path = "${Env:Path};c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin"
Create a new Docker VM.
PS C:\Users\mary> docker-machine create --driver virtualbox my-default
List your available machines.
C:\Users\mary> docker-machine ls NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM my-default * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.101:2376
Get the environment commands for your new VM.
C:\Users\mary> docker-machine env --shell powershell my-default
Connect your shell to the
C:\Users\mary> eval "$(docker-machine env my-default)"
Run the
hello-worldcontainer to verify your setup.
C:\Users\mary> docker run hello-world
Learn about your Toolbox installation
Toolbox installs the Docker Engine binary in the
C:\Program Files\Docker
Toolbox directory. When you use the Docker Quickstart Terminal or create a
default VM manually, Docker Machine updates the
C:\USERS\USERNAME\.docker\machine\machines\default folder to your
system. This folder contains the configuration for the VM.
You can create multiple VMs on your system with Docker Machine. Therefore, you
may end up with multiple VM folders if you have created more than one VM. To
remove a VM, use the
docker-machine rm <machine-name> command.
Migrate from Boot2Docker
If you were using Boot2Docker previously, you have a pre-existing Docker
boot2docker-vm VM on your local system. To allow Docker Machine to manage
this older VM, you can migrate it.
Open a terminal or the Docker CLI on your system.
Type the following command.
$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-import-boot2docker-vm boot2docker-vm docker-vm
Use the
docker-machinecommand to interact with the migrated VM.
docker-machine subcommands are slightly different than the
subcommands. The table below lists the equivalent
docker-machine subcommand
and what it does:
docker-machine description
|Creates a new docker host.
|Starts a stopped machine.
|Runs a command or interactive ssh session on the machine.
|Not applicable.
|Stops a running machine.
|Stops a running machine.
|Restarts a running machine.
|Prints machine configuration details.
|Lists all machines and their status.
|Displays a machine's details.
|Displays the machine's ip address.
|Displays shell commands needed to configure your shell to interact with a machine
|Removes a machine.
|Not applicable.
|Upgrades a machine's Docker client to the latest stable release.
Upgrade Docker Toolbox
To upgrade Docker Toolbox, download and re-run the Docker Toolbox installer.
Container port redirection
If you are curious, the username for the Docker default VM is
docker and the
password is
tcuser. The latest version of
docker-machine sets up a host only
network adaptor which provides access to the container's ports.
If you run a container with a published port:
$ docker run --rm -i -t -p 80:80 nginx
Then you should be able to access that nginx server using the IP address reported to you using:
$ docker-machine ip
Typically, the IP is 192.168.59.103, but it could get changed by VirtualBox's DHCP implementation.
Note: There is a known issue that may cause files shared with your nginx container to not update correctly as you modify them on your host.
Login with PUTTY instead of using the CMD
Docker Machine generates and uses the public/private key pair in your
%USERPROFILE%\.docker\machine\machines\<name_of_your_machine> directory. To
log in you need to use the private key from this same directory. The private key
needs to be converted into the format PuTTY uses. You can do this with
puttygen.exeand load ("File"->"Load" menu) the private key from (you may need to change to the
All Files (*.*)filter)
Click "Save Private Key".
Use the saved file to login with PuTTY using
You can uninstall Docker Toolbox using Window's standard process for removing
programs. This process does not remove the
docker-install.exe file. You must
delete that file yourself.

2012 Postseason Guide | Box Draws and Meet Info
LOUISVILLE, Ky.: November 14, 2012 - Countless miles and months of preparation will all come down to this weekend, as the No. 9 Nittany Lion women's cross country team, as well as senior Sam Masters (Columbia, Mo.) will lay it all on the line, Saturday at the NCAA Cross Country Championships at the University of Louisville. The Nittany Lion women have been on record-setting pace as of late, winning the program's first-ever regional crown at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships last Friday, which led to a ninth-place rating in the latest USTFCCCA poll - Penn State's highest standing since the 1996 season.
In fact, the Nittany Lions have been heavily recognized over the past week, as Director and Head Coach of Track and Field/Cross Country Beth Alford-Sullivan was named USTFCCCA Mid-Atlantic Region Women's Coach of the Year - the 25th "Coach of the Year" citation of her decorated coaching career.
About the NCAA Cross Country Championships...
When: Saturday, November 17
Where: Tom Sawyer Park (Louisville, Ky.)
Race Times: Women's 6,000m (12:00 p.m.;): Men's 10,000m (1:15 p.m.)
Host Information: www.GOCARDS.com
Live Stream: www.NCAA.com
Nittany Lions Notes...
2011 NCAA Championships...
Senior Caitlin Lane (Greenwich, N.Y.) blitzed to a 16th-place finish, earning her first-career All-America finish, at the 2012 NCAA Cross Country Championships at the Lavern Gibson Cross Country Course. Lane's outstanding finish propelled the Nittany Lion women to a 13th-place finish in the team standings - the highest finish of any Big Ten program in the race, and the best effort by a Penn State women's squad since 1996. Men's team members Kyle Dawson (Coatesville, Pa.) and Vince McNally (Paoli, Pa.) competed individually in the men's race, with Dawson leading the way with a 73rd-place effort. Natalie Bower, Brooklyne Ridder, Emily Giannotti, and Abbie Benson all return from the Lions' 13th-place squad in 2013.
Last Time in Louisville...
Led by top 20 performances by juniors Rebekka Simko (Mentor, Ohio), and Victoria Perri (Philadelphia, Pa.), the 17th-ranked Nittany Lion women's cross country squad placed fifth overall at the Greater Louisville Classic on September 29, knocking off No. 8 Vanderbilt, as well as No. 29 and conference rival, Wisconsin. The men's squad also posted a solid effort, placing 10th in the team standings, thanks to a 17th-place finish from senior Sam Masters(Columbia, Mo.), individually.
Fourth's Time's the Charm...
Brooklyne Ridder and Natalie Bower are now the sixth and seventh four-time NCAA cross country qualifiers in program history following Bridget Franek (2006-09), Heidi Gerken (1981-84), Kelli Hunt (1991-94), Kim Kelly (1991-94), and Stacia Prey (1985-88). The Nittany Lions will also be making their fourth-straight NCAA appearance on the women's side - the longest streak since Penn State qualified for five-straight NCAA meets from 1981-1985.
Lion on the Line...
The Nittany Lions have been just as consistent in NCAA appearances on the men's side, as Sam Masters' NCAA trip will represent the fifth-straight year that Penn State has qualified at least one male athlete to the Championships, and the ninth appearance by at least one Nittany Lion in the last 10 years.
Rankings Rundown...
The No. 9 ranking in this week's USTFCCCA poll is the highest for Penn State since the Nittany Lions appeared at No. 7 in the poll during the week of October 14, 1996. The Nittany Lions stand second among four Big Ten squads in the championships, with No. 6 Michigan - the 2012 Big Ten Champions - leading the way. Michigan State is currently ranked 13th, while Minnesota stands 25th in the most recent national top 30.
Regional Recognition...
Seven Nittany Lions have officially earned United States Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches' Association (USTFCCCA) all-region status, announced by Coaches' Association offices on Monday. The Nittany Lions will travel a healthy contingent to the NCAA Cross Country Championships this weekend, including the No. 15 Penn State women's squad, which is coming off a winning-effort at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional, along with senior Sam Masters (Columbia, Mo.), who has qualified as an individual. Senior Tyler Jones (Chalfont, Pa.) also garnered all-region status. Nittany Lions Tori Perri, Brooklyne Ridder, Bekka Simko, Leigha Anderson, and Emily Giannotti all turned in all-region races on the women's side.
Home Sweet Home...
Taking full advantage of running on the their home, as well as an unseasonably warm November afternoon, the Nittany Lion women's cross country squad took top honors at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships, Friday at the Blue-White Golf Course. Edging No. 9 and defending NCAA Champion Georgetown, 61-63, the Nittany Lions will automatically advance to the NCAA Cross Country Championships, set for November 17, at the University of Louisville. The Nittany Lions came out on top of a barn burner of a competition, securing their first ever victory at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional. Penn State led the way with 61 points, followed by Georgetown in second with 63, and Villanova, who has won two of the last three NCAA titles, in third, with a total score of 96 points.
Big Ten Business...
Junior Rebekka Simko (Mentor, Ohio) placed fifth overall - capturing First Team All-Conference status - to lead the No. 13 Nittany Lion women's cross country team to an impressive third-place finish, Sunday at the Big Ten Cross Country Championships at Michigan State University. Redshirt-freshman Robby Creese (Mount Airy, Md.) was the top finishing Nittany Lion on the men's side, taking 23rd overall to help the Blue and White to a sixth-place showing in the team standings.
Wisconsin Running...
The then 14th-ranked Nittany Lion women's cross country squad proved their position among the nation's elite, finishing eighth in the team standings, Friday at the high-powered Adidas Wisconsin Invitational at Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course. Paced by a 34th-place effort from junior Rebekka Simko (Mentor, Ohio), the Nittany Lions held their own against a sensational field, bettering a total of 13 nationally ranked programs, and finishing tops among Big Ten foes.
Home Course Advantage...
Junior Victoria Perri (Philadelphia, Pa.) and redshirt-sophomore Matt Fischer(Kennett Square, Pa.) paced the Nittany Lions individually despite rainy and windy conditions, each turning in runner-up finishes, Saturday at the Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Invitational at the Blue-White Golf Courses. The Nittany Lion women's squad posted a dominant effort in the team standings, winning the competition with a 25-point total, thanks to five finishers in the top 10, and seven in the top 16. Penn State also fared well on the men's side, taking third overall in a solid early-season field.
Early Big Ten Honors...
Following victories at the Dolan Duals at Lock Haven last weekend, redshirt-freshman Robby Creese (Mount Airy, Md.) and junior Rebekka Simko(Mentor, Ohio) have been named Big Ten Cross Country Athletes of the Week. The Nittany Lions provided a dominate effort in the team standings with both teams picking up victories over Lock Haven, including a 15-50 sweep by the women's squad.
Off and Running...
Redshirt freshman Robby Creese (Mount Airy, Md.) and junior Rebekka Simko (Mentor, Ohio) led the way with individual titles, pacing the Nittany Lion cross country squads to a pair of team victories at the annual Dolan Duals at Lock Haven University on Sept. 31. Simko headed up a perfect effort from the women's squad, which saw the Nittany Lions better the Bald Eagles, 15-50. Simko gapped the field down the homestretch of the 4,000-meter course, finishing in 14:16. Teammate Tori Perri (Philadelphia, Pa.) was next in line, finishing in 14:20 for second overall. The men's squad was just as successful, bettering their competitors, 25-30, with Creese picking up the individual victory in 18:12 over 6,000-meters, in his first cross country appearance in a Nittany Lion uniform. The Nittany Lions covered three of the top five finishing spots, with junior Nick Scarpello(Jamison, Pa.), and Tom Luff (Emmaus, Pa.) taking third and fourth, respectively, in 18:36 and 18:37.
Nittany Lions in Charge...
A quintet of seniors will serve at Penn State's team captains for the 2012 seasons, with 2011 NCAA qualifiers Natalie Bower (Pleasant Unity, Pa.), Lindsey Graybill (Macungie, Pa.), and Brooklyne Ridder (Cincinnati, Ohio) captaining the women's squad, and Tyler Corkedale(West Windsor, N.J.), and Tom Luff (Emmaus, Pa.) leading the men's team.

From luxury holidays in Costa Rica to Panama, and bespoke honeymoons in Mexico to Guatemala and Belize, travel in Central America is all about colour: Caribbean blue, jungle green, sunset orange, chilli red. Bubbling amber lava spills down volcanoes; delicate pink and yellow coral lie beneath turquoise seas; parrots, toucans and quetzals ruffle their multicoloured feathers, and emerald rainforest camouflages Mayan temples.
Then there's the people, who paint their houses pink, blue and red, dress in an intricately-embroidered rainbow, and shop in markets where colours explode. A honeymoon or luxury adventure holiday to Mexico and Central America is a treat to the senses.
We'd hate you to miss it.
Belize makes a luxury holiday or honeymoon in Central America very easy. Pristine wildlife, rich forests, tropical beaches, ancient Mayan sites and the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere - all this with a friendly, English-speaking population, fabulous hotels and a laidback Caribbean vibe. Culture vultures may wish to combine a holiday in Belize with Guatemala or spend a few nights in Miami for a touch of glamour.
A Costa Rica luxury holiday or honeymoon is the ideal solution for anyone wanting to combine activity, adventure and relaxation on the beach. Home to exotic wildlife, cloud forests, volcanoes spitting lava, turtles laying eggs on beautiful beaches and to top it all, wonderfully friendly locals who can't wait to tell you about their country, usually in impeccable English, Costa Rica also works very well for family adventure holidays.
A heady cocktail of faded colonial splendour, salsa, communism, white sand beaches and a generous helping of Havana Club, Cuba as a holiday destination is something quite unique. From the thriving capital, Havana, where Art Deco architecture mingles with decaying colonial buildings, to the Northern Cayes, where powder-white sands are lapped by the turquoise Caribbean Sea, and all the time-warped colonial towns peppered throughout the island: it's safe to say there's nowhere in the world quite like Cuba.
Guatemala is Central America's cultural treasure chest, with arguably the most impressive of all Mayan sites, Tikal; lush tropical jungle a-plenty; a colonial jewel of a town in Antigua; and highlands dotted with tiny, colourful villages and markets. Stay in a hacienda hideaway in the rainforest or one of Guatemala's charming, boutique hotels for a luxury holiday, honeymoon or adventure break full of vivid colour and captivating culture. If you're a sucker for scenery, Lake Atitlan, framed by volcanic peaks is the perfect addition to any Guatemala holiday itinerary.
A country rich in lush tropical rainforest with a spectacular coastline along the emerald Caribbean Sea, Honduras has plenty going for it as an exotic luxury holiday destination with adventure sports in steamy jungles; the Paris of Mayan sites, Copan; the spectacular Pico Bonito National Park; and some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world in the Bay Islands. Luxury adventure holidays in Honduras work well combined with neighbouring Guatemala.
Mexico sizzles with energy, from the madness of Mexico City to magnificent Mayan and Aztec temples. Not only has Mexico some of the continent's best luxury hotels, the country is also a visual treat with powdery white sand beaches, bustling local markets, wedding cake churches, buildings painted in lurid colours that could only work in Mexico, vertigo-inducing canyons and tropical forests. We challenge you not to fall in love with a luxury holiday here.
A luxury holiday or adventure tour in undiscovered Nicaragua offers stunning landscapes, outdoor activities and cultural treasures. Volcanoes emerging from lakes, mountains, rainforest, coral reefs, mangroves – and no less than 78 national parks, bursting with flora and wildlife not seen outside of Central America – plus fascinating history, culture and countless activities, make Nicaragua a really exciting, up and coming travel destination. Oh and its still pretty cheap, with very few tourists. Watch this space.
While Panama is best known for its canal, the country offers much more than an engineering feat. Head into tropical rainforest for some of the best birdwatching on the continent, explore gorgeous archipelagos in the Caribbean and enjoy spectacular diving and snorkelling, or relax at a beautiful luxury hotel on a Pacific coast beach. A luxury holiday in Panama combines easily with many other Latin American destinations so is a great stop-off for some quality rest and relaxation.

Forward Genki Haraguchi scored one goal and assisted another to give Urawa Red Diamonds a 2-1 win over defending champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the opener of the J-League football on Saturday.
It was sweet revenge for Urawa's Serbian coach Mihailo Petrovic -- formerly Hiroshima's coach -- who lost last year's season-opener 1-0 to the same opponents.
"Both teams (have now) lost the opening game of the AFC Champions League, but both Urawa and Hiroshima are excellent teams. I think both teams played an excellent game today," said Petrovic.
"Hiroshima started to put pressure on us after 2-1, but overall we played better. We deserve the victory," he added.
A short pass in the area from Haraguchi to Yosuke Kashiwagi saw the opening goal in the 38th minute.
Haraguchi then scored from a long ball from behind to give Urawa a 2-0 lead in the 51st minute.
Hiroshima managed to pull one back through Koji Morisaki thanks to a direct free kick in the 55th minute.
"I think our team is better than last year. We were very disappointed last year, so we tried to show Urawa's football. We broke their defence line for a pass to score," said Haraguchi.
"It's only the first game of the season. Hopefully, we can pile up three points after three points from each game and be on top of the table in the end," he added.
Cerezo Osaka posted their first opening game win in 14 years when they defeated Albirex Niigata 1-0 with ace striker Yoichiro Kakitani scoring the only goal in the 88th minute.
FC Tokyo outclassed Oita Trinita 2-1 as Ariajasuru Hasegawa struck home the decider, while Brazilian forward Marquinhos scored twice to lead Yokohama Marinos to a 4-2 win over Shonan Bellmare.
Last year's runners-up Vegalta Sendai drew with Ventforet Kofu, Jubilo Iwata came back after an own goal to draw with Nagoya Grampus, and powerhouse Kashima Antlers were held to a draw by Sagan Tosu -- all ending at 1-1.
Shimizu S-Pulse also overcame an own goal to draw with Omiya Ardija 2-2.

Cashiers checks, money orders, personal checks, W e s t e r n U n i o n will also be accepted. I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL. Please do not ask or pressure me to do so. Merchandise will be held 10 banking days after receipt of payment before item is shipped. That is 14 days if no holidays fall during that time. NSF checks and bad money orders have forced this policy. Any payment, money order, personal check, cashiers check, other than "UNITED STATES POSTAL MONEY ORDER" purchased at the post office will be held the 10 banking days. For immediate shipping please use a US Postal Money Order. W e s t e r n U n i o n is another fast delivery. Funds can be verified and shipped the next business day. I take pride in my packing to ensure the safe arrival of your merchandise. I also care about keeping the shipping cost reasonable. I do not charge a handling fee unless I have to purchase special packing materials or fill requests that cost me extra. I do not make money on shipping and try not to lose on them either. I do not take Paypal or any other form of payment that charges me for the transaction, or wants direct access to my bank account. International buyers must pay in US dollars. If you dont agree with these policies please do not bid. Thanks you for viewing my auction. ***********I WILL BE AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER FROM FRIDAY 1PM UNTIL SUNDAY EVENING TO ANSWER EMAILS.***********
