Then place your fingers on the scalp and massage lightly in circular motions (lather is minimal). Repeat this operation by adding small amounts of water each time in order to have a good foaming effect. If you wash your hair everyday one application is sufficient, otherwise two applications are required.

Too Watery! - Money Down The DrainI love every Leonor Greyl product I've tried and always think it's worth the money. But this shampoo, if it's possible, is thinner than water. So I carefully poor a little in my hand, and try to quickly get it on my head before it all runs through my fingers, yet I can still feel it running down my arm. Since half of it has just gone down the drain, I repeat the process. While other Leonor Greyl shampoos have lasted me months, I'm sure I'll go through this one is less than 30 days. Once I do manage to get enough on my head, it's a nice shampoo. It smells good, feels gentle and makes my hair feel really nice. They just need to add a thickening ingredient.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg to Ban Sale of All Sodas Over 16oz
Can he just fess up and call himself a radical leftist already?
Bloomberg Bloomberg Bloomberg. I see you coming from a mile away. I know the game. Inch by inch, right? Ban large sodas. Then ban all sodas. Then tell people how much alcohol they can drink. Then take away all alcohol. Then tell people what they can eat. Then tell them how much.
This is scary stuff, folks. I had a friend tell me that it's arbitrary to single out soda when you have all-you-can-eat buffets everywhere. False.
It seems arbitrary but it isn't. It's all about establishing a legislative precedent. It's about choosing the right topic. In this case, it's soda because it's become an easy target of late. No one is going to stand up and defend the benefits of soda. But before you know it, Michael Bloomberg has the authority to limit the amount of squares of toilet paper you can use. But mark my words, if that dark day comes, I will be the first to stand up and defend the benefits of toilet paper freedom. USA! USA! USA!

Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to go on-site and put in
place a proper sniffer to determine the nature of the packets. I
attempted to do this somewhat using the PIX's 'debug packet' feature,
but never saw anything. I am assuming this is because the packets
aren't TCP/UDP/ICMP, but are instead a routing protocol such as BGP or
EIGRP. But without a packet capture, I can't be sure.
I was hoping to see what you're seeing (well, only in that it's easily
identifiable), where the apparent source port is 80. The packets you're
seeing aren't spoofed, but are a result of MS-Blaster or a variant
thereof somewhere behind your firewall. Refer to the link in my initial
post. It explains why the traffic appears the way it does on your

When you saw the original spoofed traffic, what kind of packets were
One of my customers is seeing similar behaviour on a significant amount
of traffic and they are trying to pin it down.
The packets we're seeing are
Src: 127.0.0.1:80 Dst: X.X.X.X:<ephemeral> ACK flag only
The firewall is blocking of course, but the traffic is unusually high.
My first thought was a misconfigured internal host too, but sniffing the
inside of the firewall show no sessions originating from any of the
internal hosts.
My second guess is some sort of misconfigured router that we are trying
to pin down. We can't confirm this however.
My last guess is an external attack which is why I'm wondering if the
traffic is similar to what you saw?

Anja Niedringhaus, Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Afghan peace effort is floundering, fraught with mistrust and confusion among key players even though the hard-line Taliban militants show signs of softening and their reclusive, one-eyed leader made a surprise offer to share power in a post-war Afghanistan.
The U.S. and its allies hope the peace process, which began nearly two years ago, will gain traction before most international forces withdraw from the country in fewer than 23 months. But although the Taliban appear more ready to talk than ever before, peace talks remain elusive because of infighting among a rising number of interlocutors — all trying to get some kind of negotiations started.
Members of the Taliban are in contact with representatives from 30 to 40 different countries, according to senior U.S., Afghan and other officials The Associated Press interviewed in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Moreover, the relationship among the key players — the U.S., Afghanistan and Pakistan — is marked by distrust that keeps tugging momentum away from the peace process.
Many of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the sensitive contacts with the Taliban.
Finding a path to the negotiating table will be a topic when Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan President Asif Zardari hold a series of meetings beginning Monday with British Prime Minister David Cameron. The meetings in London come amid fresh tensions between Kabul and its western allies.
Karzai recently warned the West not to use peace talks as a lever against his government. As well, both Kabul and Washington are frustrated that Pakistan is not monitoring the whereabouts and activities of Taliban prisoners it released in recent months. Miffed by the criticism, Pakistan says it freed the prisoners at the request of the Afghan government and doesn't have the resources to keep tabs on them.
No one in either Pakistan or Afghanistan seems to know where the dozens of released prisoners have gone. Last week, the Taliban issued a statement by freed former Taliban Justice Minister Mullah Nooruddin Turabi on behalf of all the prisoners — an indication that at least some might have rejoined the ranks of the insurgency.
"There were no preconditions to their release and we are getting criticism from our own people inside Afghanistan about that and it is valid criticism," said Ismail Qasemyar, a senior member of the Afghan High Peace Council.
The peace council, which Karzai set up to carry out peace negotiations, handed Pakistan the list of prisoners, including Turabi, that it wanted freed. They have also asked for the release of the Taliban's former second in command, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, but Washington has urged Pakistan not to release him, U.S. and Afghan officials said.
For its part, the United States has tried to accelerate the peace process by working with Britain, Norway and Germany to reach out to the Taliban, said a senior Western diplomat familiar with the negotiations. Both France and Tokyo have hosted meetings that have been attended by Afghan officials, opposition leaders and the Taliban, although the Taliban insist their participation should not be misinterpreted as negotiations.
One senior U.S. official said the process is so nascent and egos so fragile that it's like negotiating a minefield. A European diplomat told the AP that there are so many backdoor talks going on that it's hard to keep track of who is talking to whom.
This week, Karzai said he wanted an end to all these talks. Speaking at a water management conference in the Afghan capital, Karzai expressed suspicion that the peace process was being hijacked by the West to strengthen his opponents and undermine his government.

Oregon Wine Board's team divulges wine tasting secrets!
OWB Blog (Mar 25 2013) Vintage Oregon Blog
Hello Oregon Wine Explorer!
This week we polled team members working on our big kick off event, Vintage Oregon, who range from a newbie wine drinker to an oenophile that grew up on a vineyard. We asked each person, "What tip would you tell someone new to wine tasting?" Their timely advice is the perfect prep for our event on April 28th.
Margaret, wine traveler - "If you are interested in starting a wine collection, be sure to ask the winery if they can ship your bottles back home. Especially when traveling, this can be an easy and inexpensive option, which most wineries offer. Even if I'm take a quick trip to the Columbia Gorge, or down in Southern Oregon, I like the fact I don't have to worry about needing extra space in my car or making sure the temperature is right during transportation."
Rindi, the new(ish) explorer - "The first time I went wine tasting with friends, I was so worried about those spit buckets! I quickly realized that most everyone at the tasting room was just having a good time learning about the wines. You do not have to drink all the wine in your glass. Just toss the unwanted wine into the dump bucket!"
Charles, a white wine fan - "Many people are familiar with Oregon's Willamette Valley and our reputation for great Pinot Noir - but our various wine regions offer so much more than just that varietal. If you stick to grapes you know, you could miss out on the regional specialties. I would suggest trying whites like Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling and Viognier. And for reds, be sure to taste Oregon Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Tempranillo and Cabernet Franc, to name just a few."
Shannon, the foodie - "For beginners, I would say to forget the fancy terms and just have fun. Food pairings? Great to know but not a necessity. If it tastes good to you, that's all that matters. Oh - and if water is provided, use it to clear your palate or to rinse your glass. Sometimes rinsing the glass is a good idea when the tasting moves from whites to reds or to dessert wines."
Michelle, our socialite - "Don't be shy... I've found that winemakers are some of the friendliest people I know! They're so approachable and over the years, I've made friends with many of them. I have learned that I could ask them any question, it didn't matter what, and they were eager to answer and share their passion. At your next tasting, don't be afraid to ask questions - these people love to share their wine and their expertise!"
Dewey, an experienced wine lover - "Everybody's preferences are different, and wine is no different. Just be polite and respectful to the winemaker and the people around you. Try not to interfere with other people's ability to smell their wines. Smoking and using any scent like perfumes or colognes are a no-no. It really affects a tasters' ability to detect aromas."
Do you have a fun tip to share too? Post it to our Facebook fan page here: https://www.facebook.com/OregonWineInfo
Put these tips and tricks to the test at our next tasting event, Vintage Oregon. On Sunday, April 28th from 3 to 6 PM, 75 winemakers from all around Oregon are pouring their wines just for you.
We'll also have 25 restaurants, games, interactive education centers, photo booths, raffles and more.
All of this is included in your ticket price of $30. Early bird sales end April 15th, so click here now to buy your ticket: http://oregonwine.org/events/vintage-oregon.aspx

Courtney's 4th-place finish leads Americans in round 2 of UCI XC MTB World Cup
Cairns, Australia (April 27, 2014) — With a fourth-place finish in the under-23 women's race, Kate Courtney (Kentfield, Calif./Specialized Racing XC) led the way for Americans in the cross-country competitions at the second round of the 2014 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Cairns, Australia.
Cairns marked her first race in the U23 ranks after winning the juniors 17-18 cross-country national championship last year as well as a juniors women's cross-country race at the UCI World Cup in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada. Courtney also placed sixth on Friday in the women's eliminator.
Keegan Swenson (Park City, Utah/Cannondale Factory Racing), who was battling a stomach bug the night before his race, placed 21st in the U23 men's event.
Elite Races
Improving upon her 21st-place finish in round one of the world cup, Georgia Gould (Fort Collins, Colo./Luna Pro Team) rode to 11th in Cairns in the elite women's race.
In the elite men's contest, reigning pro cross-country national champion Stephen Ettinger (Bozeman, Mont./BMC Mountain Bike Racing Team) overcame a crash at the start to move from last position to crossing the line in 12th, barely three and a half minutes behind the winner, former world champion and Ettinger's BMC teammate Julien Absalon of France.
Russell Finsterwald (Colorado Springs, Colo./ SRAM/Troy Lee Designs Racing) was the next highest-placed American at 27th. 2013 U23 men's cross-country national champ Kerry Werner (Banner Elk, N.C./BMC Project Dirt) suffered a flat tire on the final lap that dropped him to 35th in his first world cup race at the elite level.
The 2014 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup heads to Europe next, with cross-country and eliminator competitions in the Czech Republic in May. Downhill world cup racing resumes in June at Fort William, Great Britain.

I'll be the first to admit it: I have one of the very expensive brand of electronic bristle-y cleansing devices. I heard about it on tv and felt like I should be owning it. And yet, it was kind of like the Emperor's New Clothes: the more I use it, the more my face burned and blistered. Estheticians even gasped and would demand in a low voice, "What happened to your skin?" It kinda came to the point where the less I used the device -- heavy and clunky to travel with, even in its "travel" size -- the better my skin was. It has these sharp bristles, even when you buy the "delicate" format.
I knew I really didn't want to use it, and yet I knew that exfoliation is the biggest way a person can look younger. Foreo -- "Beauty Beyond Cosmetics" -- has a number of skin devices under the Luna label. I was happy to be hosted to experience it!
They come in three varieties: a travel one, the regular size (which is also perfect for traveling) and one with gold or platinum, for you ultra luxe lovers. Even these come in different textures for the type of skin you have. They hold a charge for up to 450 uses, so that's really, really great for traveling. Sometimes, none of my converters or adapters seem to work!
They're silicone based, so you're not dealing with scratchy bristles tearing up your skin. They are fully washable, so they're hygienic. Also, on the flip side of the device, there's a low-speed anti-aging end, for when you're not washing. Try that on an airplane for a beauty treatment that doesn't go against your 3-1-1 carry-on travel bag.

Janalee Tobias, left, and Judy Feld revisit the wetland they failed to save, the subject of a new book; photo by Adam Finkle
Over the years, Janalee Tobias, a petite, chatty, Mormon housewife in suburban Salt Lake has earned a reputation as a relentless citizen activist, a label that many of her faith view with suspicion when applied to a woman. "I got into activism accidentally," Tobias says. "I opened my mouth."
A self-proclaimed conservative, the blonde mother of two fights for tax limitation, term limits and halting fluoridation of drinking water. A proud gun owner (featured in the December 2012 issue of Salt Lake magazine), Tobias argues feminists who oppose gun rights are irresponsible: "It sends a message that women are helpless."
But Tobias' zeal is always tempered by a genuineness and self-deprecating humor that has endeared her to activists on the right and left—though they roll their eyes when she says things like, "The best part about being a gun-rights activist is I know lots of people with big guns. Have you ever fired a Kalashnikov full auto? That's fun."
So it's an irony that far-right firebrand Tobias will likely go down in Utah political history as a tree hugger for the nine-year crusade she led with fellow Mormon mom Judy Feld to preserve wild space. Few conservatives list environmentism as a core value. And a couple of willful women coming between a real estate developer and profit? That's something associated with a Unitarian monkey wrencher, not a woman who teaches the ward's 3-year-old Sunbeams.
Tobias and Feld's fight to save a marsh in South Jordan has been chronicled in a new novel, SLAPPED!, by the late Utah journalist Paul Swenson, a one-time editor of Utah Holiday magazine. In the late 1990s, Tobias and Feld organized opposition to a commercial development that would pave over wild habitat in the Jordan River bottoms. The two women rallied their neighbors, put pressure on local government and infuriated the development's investors. They argued the targeted 110 acres of wetland—a refuge for egrets, Canada geese, red tailed hawks and deer—was more vital to suburbanites than more office space and chain restaurants.
"We believe it's good for your soul to have open spaces in urban areas," Tobias says. Though Swenson changed names in his book, it remains brutally accurate on one point: Tobias, Feld and their allies mostly failed—preserving only a 20-acre park. Today, you'll see a chain barbeque, high-rise offices, a sushi cafe and shops where their beloved great blue herons once lurked.

"People who read the book say they hate the ending. They wanted us to win," Tobias says. "It isn't a fairy tale ending. We didn't win, but that's what makes the book real."
Feld is a bit more philosophical: "Saving just the park was a win for us if only because the developers didn't get it all."
But Feld and Tobias paid dearly for their small victory. In 1998, Anderson Development Co. sued the environmentalists for $1.7 million, claiming they had interfered with Anderson's contractual relations in buying property. The green-space activists called the action a "SLAPP" suit—Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation—meant to punish citizen opposition. Tobias says she alone was forced to spend $400,000 in legal fees. (One of Tobias' pro-bono lawyers at the time was none other than Rocky Anderson who went on to become Salt Lake City mayor.)
What hurt most, Feld says, was to be attacked in court documents by members of her own church. Being a devout Mormon requires forgiving others, Feld says. "But I'm not at that point yet—I have not been able to forgive some of the people who are LDS. I struggle because they outright lied."
Tobias says the crisscrossing Mormon ties made the legal battle emotionally wrenching. "It's a story about how valuable nature is and how people will do anything for money–even if it means systematically destroying people you attend church with. Judy and I had to fight to keep that from jading our belief in our religion."
In 2005, the suit made its way to the Utah Supreme Court where Anderson's primary claims were denied along with the activists' counterclaims of emotional damage. In the end, Anderson paid its exhausted opponents $50,000. Neither side admits liability. The women remain defiant.
"I earned my freedom of speech. I went through H-E-double toothpicks to speak out against abusive developers," Tobias says.
Laura Hanson, director of the Jordan River Commission, which, she says, holds open space as a "pillar" of its vision, is pessimistic the women's battle has increased awareness in preserving suburban open space, let alone wild areas. "Who knows? Maybe it will inspire the public to be more outspoken," she says. "But [preserving green space] is tricky and so political and hard." It's worth noting South Jordan is not a member of the river commission.
The two women, themselves, question the value of their efforts. "I look back on the impact it had on my family and wonder, 'How did we ever do that?'" Feld says. "I could never take it on now."
Tobias agrees, "If we had known the outcome, would we have ever started? I don't think so. But I don't want to ever keep my mouth shut when I see an injustice. You have to do something."

Dolphins O-lineman Nate Garner suffers leg injury
The list of injured Miami Dolphins continues to grow.
Nate Garner, the Miami Dolphins' most versatile offensive lineman, couldn't finish Wednesday morning's practice because of a left leg injury.
Garner, who has spent the past two days as the starting left guard, had a bad collision during the team portion of practice.
Less than an hour after practice concluded, Garner, who started eight games last season about both right and left guard, was walking with the assistance of crutches.
The specifics of the left leg injury are not known at this point, but it's possible the former Arkansas standout could miss Saturday's scrimmage against Tampa Bay, and possibly more time.
The timing of the injury is horrible for Garner considering he was finally making a push to retain a starting spot. The Dolphins had him spend the first week of camp training to play both offensive tackle spots.
"If this is a quick thing and Nate's back out there it doesn't hurt him at all. If it's one of these things that lingers around for a few days it opens the door for other people," coach Tony Sparano said. "This is training camp. Other people get opportunities. That's the way it goes sometimes.
"But Nate's a competitor. I would imagine that if and when he gets back out there he would be able to get going in a hurry."
Garner is the second offensive linemen nursing an injury. Jake Grove, who is battling with Joe Berger to become the team's starting center, has a bruise on his leg that has kept his participation in practices limited.
Grove began Wednesday morning's practice with the team, but was noticeably limping and favoring his injured leg. He finishes the session riding the exercise bike while Andrew Hartline handled the second-team snaps.
Also battling an injury is Evan Oglesby, who allegedly sprained an ankle during Tuesday's session, and missed Wednesday morning's practice.
The Dolphins have already lost rookie linebacker A.J. Edds to a season-ending ACL injury, and running back Kory Sheets to an Achilles tear.

Should you sell your bonds and move your funds into stocks? This is the age-old question (sometimes reversed) when it comes to investing. Companies issue stocks and bonds to raise cash for their operations (or to pay shareholders), yet they are so fundamentally different that investors place them in separate asset class categories.
Investors basically like stocks when economic growth suggests companies will increase their earnings in the future and they can benefit from higher dividends down the road.
Conversely, investors like bonds when an economy is heading into recession. By buying quality bonds -- that is, bonds issued by companies with investment grade-ratings -- investors hope to lock in yields that are likely to drop as the economy contracts and interest rates correspondingly decline.
Whether you should sell your bonds right now depends on how you see the overall economy playing out over the next couple years, as well as on your expectations for interest rates.
Are we heading into a boom?
The latest economic data gives credence to my belief that the U.S. economy is heading into a boom. U.S. gross domestic product rose 4% on an annual basis in the second quarter, unemployment can still improve, interest rates and inflation are low, and home construction is going strong.
Stocks already have done well for investors for the better part of the last five years. While a consolidation can happen at any moment, stocks could have even more potential in the coming years as earnings growth accelerates and interest rates normalize.
The influence of interest rate movements
The interest rate cycle has a profound influence on the price and yields of bonds.
As interest rates increase, bond prices head south. Why?
If interest rates rise investors reduce the price of an existing bond because new bond issues will now have to offer higher yields (or coupons) in order to reflect the higher interest rates prevailing in the economy. In other words: Higher interest rates cause the price of an "old bond" to fall because investors now have higher-yield choices along the bond spectrum, making the old bond less attractive.
The return from bond investments can come from changing prices (that isn't the case if you hold your bonds until maturity, as you will recoup your principal) and from coupon income. In an environment of increasing interest rates, bonds are not preferred investments.
Since interest rates are still near zero and may stay low for a little longer, they really can only head north and, in the process, will exert a lot of pressure on bond investments.
High risk or low risk
If stocks are generally too risky for you, then bonds are probably the right way to go. But they are not risk-free investments. Companies can default on their debt obligations, which is more of an issue in contracting markets when the economy does poorly.
If you select a bond investment due to your risk aversion, make sure the company issuing the bonds has an investment-grade rating, which indicates a comparably low default risk.
Long-term performance record favors stocks, not bonds
Whether you own a few bonds or a portfolio packed with them, know this important fact: Over very long performance measurement periods, stocks have outperformed other asset classes such as bonds or T-Bills.
Consider the chart below, which compares the returns of stocks, bonds, and T-Bills from 1926-2013. It becomes clear that stocks are hard to beat.
Though bonds can surely outperform in certain years or markets, stocks are the preferred choice for long-term investors. The performance record suggests that equity investments should continue to deliver good results, on average, in the coming years.

Announcing: VISUAL BUDDHA
None of the readers of this blog will be surprised to find out that I love discovering new gear & technology. Recently I've been focusing a lot less on it, both on this blog and in life in general.
That being said, I've never lost the bug or the passion for discovery – I love being on the cutting edge, or what should more aptly be called the bleeding edge.
To that end I've come together with several partners to form a company called VISUAL BUDDHA with the goal of offering the most innovative products out there.
Simply put, we're always searching for the best tools out there – tools that we need to better practice our crafts – and if they don't yet exist, to find ways to make them come to life.
Until now my only choice was to work with large manufacturers and corporations, which usually equates to a painfully slow process marred in red tape and even more painfully: compromise.
I HATE COMPROMISE. I've always been a dreamer and I don't believe in cutting corners, especially when I associate my name with something. Idealism can be a dangerous thing in business – but I think we could use a bit more of it these days, while also finding a way to combine it with a spirit that's open to innovation and trying new things.
The friends I've partnered with each have more than 25 years in the cinema and photography business and this collaboration happened pretty organically. We are all passionate about innovation and regularly find ourselves using high quality products to produce the best imagery possible. And we're each tinkerers and dreamers and, frankly, troublemakers to some degree.
Our goal together is to discover the best-of-breed products out there and to highlight them on our new site VISUAL BUDDHA. The name of the site should hint at the fact that this isn't your traditional venture, that we don't take ourselves all too seriously, and yet that there is still quite a bit of experience and wisdom within the group to share with you.
One of my partners, Jonas Elmqvist, has shot nearly 1,500 commercials, 30 feature films, and just about every single music star from Madonna to Beyonce over the past 30 years. As a veteran gaffer with this level of experience, needless to say he knows quite a bit about light, and our initial focus is on lighting tools.
We have several initial peices of gear up on the site that you can look at.
Our goal is quality over quantity. We do extensive testing with each piece of gear and stand behind it: we won't put anything up there that we wouldn't buy ourselves. Period.
Given that I come from the world of journalism and I grew up following pretty strict ethical rules and practices, I also believe in the separation of church and state – or editorial content (this blog) and commercial content (Visual Buddha) – ergo the need for the new site. I will be highlighting this new gear and my involvement in it on this blog clearly to make sure everything is transparent to all of you.
Another key goal of our group is education. We all believe sharing our knowledge, and working with top filmmakers, cinematographers, camera operators, gaffers and photographers to teach you ways that you can best put this equipment to use. Expect to see a lot of that on the site as we go forward.
For now, please check out the first product we're highlighting below. I can say without reservations that this is the single most beautiful light of its size and kind that I have ever used, and that every DP and gaffer we've shared it with has echoed that opinion. Feel free to check out VISUAL BUDDHA and follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook.

Shiny Concrete Sealers
Concrete is easier to maintain and will last longer if it has a protective coating. There are many coatings available, and which one you choose is based upon the appearance and purpose you hope to accomplish. Acrylic-based sealers are a popular choice in finish.
Acrylic Sealers
Acrylic is clear plastic that is made to imitate glass, but is much more versatile and durable. This acrylic stain produced by Thompson's WaterSeal provides a waterproof seal while adding color to the concrete. It comes in 40 colors and is resistant to mildew, UV damage, scuffs, and flaking. This stain works to both stain the concrete and to seal it against potential damage.
There are also transparent acrylic seals available. These provide all of the positive sealing aspects as the stain mentioned above, but are transparent. Transparent seals can be used over existing finishes, or applied directly to bare concrete. The transparent nature creates a wet look that allows the natural colors of pavers or concrete to have a continuous vibrant color.
To apply an acrylic seal, first prepare the surface with thorough cleaning. After it is clean and dry, use a brush, sponge, or roller to apply the seal. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions and only apply in the proper temperatures. This will help to avoid bubbling, peeling, or failure of the seal.
Sealing your concrete surface will not only give it an illustrious shine, but it will also help prevent water damage, the growth of mold and mildew, and help to make cleaning easier. Acrylic products are reliable and durable, and quite common. Request free estimates from skilled concrete contractors in your area today to assist you in finding and applying the right acrylic seal to your surface.

An ablative heat shield was applied to protect the spaceplane during re-entry. The X-15A-2 reached the highest speeds and altitudes of any manned spaceplane until the space shuttle entered service.
The X-15A-2, modified from the number two aircraft and delivered to NASA in February 1964, included among other new features, a 28-in. fuselage extension to carry liquid hydrogen for a supersonic combustion ramjet that was flown (as a dummy) but never tested. It also had external tanks for liquid ammonia and liquid oxygen. These tanks provided roughly 60 seconds of additional engine burn and were used on the aircraft's Mach 6.7 flight. While adding to the speed the X-15 did achieve, the tanks also increased the aircraft's weight to almost 57,000 lb and added significantly to the drag experienced by the aircraft in flight.
700 hours was needed to refurbish the heat shield. The ablative covering had to be completely stripped off, then reapplied. After the record Mach 6.93 flight, the aircraft received thermal structural damage and the covering was severely pitted and charred. Repair was uneconomical and the aircraft was grounded.

Enrico Rava: Outsider
Enrico Rava (trumpet)
New York Days (ECM B0012523-02)
Enrico Rava (trumpet), Mark Turner (tenor sax), Stefano Bollani (piano), Larry Grenadier (bass), Paul Motian (drums).
Composed by Enrico Rava.
Recorded: New York, February 2008
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Although I can't read Enrico Rava's mind, "Outsider" could just as well refer to his late mentor Steve Lacy, who spent most of his career outside the normal conventions of jazz. Even as Manfred Eicher's lofty production and Rava's European mannerisms remove some of the edgy tone of Lacy's approach, the adventurous and searching spirit remains in full.
Bassist Larry Grenadier plays a crucial role by setting tempo and introducing the note-chasing theme, perhaps the only pre-composed part of the whole piece. In the middle, Rava and pianist Stefano Bollani engage in musical chatter, and right at the point where the chordal root breaks free, a single note from the trumpeter reins it back in. But it doesn't happen all at once. Players come in and out of the song, leaving behind snippets of free improv before fading away again. Grenadier signals a return to the rapid string of notes he stated at the beginning, only this time it's declared by Rava and Turner.
And somewhere from his special perch in jazz heaven, Steve Lacy looks down approvingly.

As a t.e. in good standing, with 6 years of experience, I believe this new contract is terrible. I am one of the first te's that will be laid off this coming year and the thougght of making $16 an hour is terrible. How could we not be grandfathered in? My wife has health insurance so it isn't of great value to me. I will be making $6 an hour less than a 3 month hire for 9 months! It seems as if, yet again, we are merely second class citizens of the postal universe. The savings of not grandfathering our old pay scale are minuscule when seen in the context of the operational costs of the entire service. Why not just have all NEW employees deal with the NEW pay scale. This pay cut is my mortgage! Thanks NALC. You state that you protect all carriers interests. It will take years just to get back my mortgage payment, let alone a raise.

The girls open their legs wide, rub their clit, and shove their fingers up their asses and pussies, bringing themselves to orgasm, while they wear sexy pantyhose and play like horny sluts. Panties get pulled to the side when guys want to stick their dicks inside of them, or when their girlfriend wants to shove her tongue deep inside her wet slit.

text: Mar 11, 2013 10:44 Lafayette private investigator indicted in DWI probe Lafayette private investigator indicted in DWI probe Advocate staff file photo by BRYAN TUCK -- U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana Stephanie Finley, left, speaks about bribery indictments in a DWI probe during a 2013 press conference at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Lafayette. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Luke Walker and Rick Willis are at right. RICHARD BURGESS| Acadiana bureau Comments LAFAYETTE — Federal prosecutors allege a Lafayette private investigator operated a four-year scheme to bribe District Attorney's Office employees in return for favorable treatment of defendants in DWI cases. A federal grand jury on Thursday returned a nine-count indictment against Robert Williamson, 64, of Lafayette, in an ongoing bribery investigation that has already brought guilty pleas from five others. Prosecutors are also seeking the forfeiture of $22,855 in cash and money orders seized during a Feb. 27, 2012, search of Williamson's home. Williamson allegedly solicited "thousands of dollars" from defendants on promises of obtaining favorable treatment in the court system, mainly in DWI cases, according to court filings from prosecutors. U.S. Attorney Stephanie Finley declined to comment on whether anyone else has been targeted in the case. "The investigation is ongoing," she said. "... We are going to follow where the evidence leads us." Williamson's indictment comes after guilty pleas by three former District Attorney's Office employees. Two former employees of a non-profit agency have also pleaded guilty in the case in which certificates were falsified to show defendants had completed court-mandated community service. All agreed to cooperate with federal authorities as part of their plea deal. "All of those folks are clearly hoping to lighten their loads by implicating Robert (Williamson) and agreeing to testify against him," Williamson's attorney, J. Michael Small, said in a written statement. Small said the indictment came as no surprise, considering that the other named defendants have made plea deals. "There is good reason why the law provides that the testimony of such witnesses must be weighed with greater caution than the testimony of ordinary witnesses," Small said. The indictment alleges that Williamson operated the bribery scheme from 2008 to 2012. He is accused of using cash and gifts to bribe District Attorney Mike Harson's longtime office administrator, Barna D. Haynes; prosecutor Greg Williams; and Williams' secretary, Denease Curry. Haynes, 58, pleaded guilty to a count of conspiracy for accepting a total of $55,000 to arrange special plea agreements for DWI defendants at Williamson's request. Haynes admitted in court documents that she routed the defendants to a special program in which their charges were quickly dismissed if they successfully completed certain probation requirements, such as drivers safety classes, substance abuse treatment and community service. Greg Williams, 44, the state prosecutor who handled the cases, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy for accepting at least one cash payment of $500 and a series of gifts, according to court filings by prosecutors. Curry, 46, pleaded guilty to one count of misprision of a felony for not reporting the alleged scheme after she became aware of it. She also admitted to accepting about $1,600 for working with Haynes to coordinate special state court plea agreements that were arranged in return for the bribes. Two former employees of the nonprofit Acadiana Outreach Center pleaded guilty in connection with the scheme, which involved falsifying certificates to show that defendants had completed community service at the agency. The agency at the time provided assistance to the homeless and recovering addicts. Proof of the community service hours was required before a judge accepted the plea deals. Sandra Degeyter, 61, a former case manager at the nonprofit agency, pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery. Elaine Crump, 59, another former Acadiana Outreach employee, pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony for not reporting the scheme when she had knowledge of it. The indictment alleges that Williamson also used false certificates to show that defendants had completed court-mandated driver safety training. None of the cooperating defendants has implicated Harson or any local judges, Finley said. Prosecutors have said in court filings that the bribery scheme was carried out without Harson's knowledge because of a "lack of oversight and safeguards" in his office. Williamson also faces counts of social security fraud for allegedly not reporting income that could have affected his social security benefits and of making a false statement to a federal investigation for allegedly telling investigators he had never made any payments to employees at the District Attorney's Office. The most serious charge he faces, bribery, carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

City could not make it an Easter double as they became the latest victims of Shrewsbury's unbeaten home record.
Having beaten Southend on Good Friday, Phil Parkinson's side were looking to shock another of the promotion pack.
But there was no repeat of their New Year's Eve victory as they suffered a sixth straight defeat on the road.
Having started fairly brightly, City were undone by Shrewsbury's third corner in the 16th minute.
They could not clear an almighty scramble in the box and right back Jermaine Grandison scored from close range.
Mark Wright was instantly denied a second by a good save from Matt Duke and the winger was just wide with a curler.
City were under the cosh with Grandison a real danger on Shrewsbury's right flank.
But Craig Fagan wasted a great chance to equalise after 27 minutes, volleying wide from right in front of goal after James Hanson had nodded the ball in this path.
Parkinson had named an unchanged starting line-up. But Kyel Reid and Chris Dagnall both came on for the second half.
Fagan had an early half-volley saved by Chris Neal as City were more of a match for their high-flying hosts.
Matt Duke tipped over a free-kick from Matt Richards but had one or two indecisive moments.
Reid threatened a couple of times but City could not find an equaliser.

Toshiba's 7-inch Thrive tablet will be available in Australia by the end of October for $450
Toshiba announced its newest Android-powered tablet yesterday. The 7-inch Thrive is basically just a smaller version of the company's 10-inch offering which bears the same name, as most of the specs (aside from the screen size, naturally) have remained the same.
The 7-inch Thrive is set to become available in the US in December, according to what Toshiba said yesterday. So we weren't expecting it to be in stores anywhere else sooner than that, but that may just happen.
According to Australian Business Traveler, Toshiba's newest tablet will be out down under before the end of next month. It will be priced at $450 and you'll be able to purchase it from "leading Australian retailers".
With the above in mind, it certainly seems plausible that the 7-inch Trive will be launched in other countries as well in the next month or two. We'll let you know when it does.

Deborah Smith Ford started her writing life by keeping a diary, in the late 80s she began writing children's books for homework in college and then for the fun of it. After raising a family she decided that she wanted to do more with her written work.
"My mind and heart wouldn't let me keep the original unpublished book hidden."
She had illustrated her original first draft, however went with a professional illustrator 20 years later and as Deborah Smith Ford states, "the rest is history."
She had no idea she would have a book series until after the first book, about an apple farm. Now her main character Allie, travels everywhere (all the places Ford has gone in real life of course, with photos to back up her travels).
"The Little Goat In Africa" -the 2nd book in her series, will be launched by spring 2014. Deborah Smith Ford predicts, "More books to follow."
It is a treat for students to get to listen to her on book tours, Deborah Smith Ford, doesn't just read her books -she speaks on reading, writing and sometimes acting as well.
She has traveled to many schools, libraries, stores, events... speaking in NY, ND, AL, CA, Norway, Miss., FL, and many other locations.

With the three-way trade of Michael Morse, 2010 4th Rd. pick A.J. Cole has returned to the Washington Nationals organization.
Cole, who had been dealt away 13 months ago in the trade for Gio Gonzalez, was acquired along with 24-year-old Blake Treinin and the ubiquitous "Player To Be Named Later" from Oakland for OF-1B Michael Morse, with Seattle sending Oakland C John Jaso to round out the deal.
Cole's 2012 season was a rough one, getting pounded in his first eight starts for 60 hits including seven HR's and seven losses for High-A Stockton before the A's dropped him down to Low-A Beloit of the Midwest League. He rebounded to post a 6-3 record and a 2.07 ERA, which would have been league-best had he thrown more innings.
Scouts identified a tendency to fly open and leave his pitches up during his time with Stockton, but the better news for Nats fans is that his velocity, which had faded badly during his H.S. senior year, has returned and his control remains very good (1.8BB/9 for Beloit). His changeup has also reportedly improved, but his breaking ball — a slurve of sorts — remains a work in progress, which is not uncommon for A-ball prospects.
Given his age and praise, I've put Cole immediately onto the 2013 Watchlist.
Treinin is an unusual story, spending time but not pitching at the varsity level for Baker University and Arkansas before finally getting to pitch for South Dakota State in 2010, his junior year. He was drafted in 2010 by Florida in the 23rd round but had his contract voided when an MRI indicated damage. A strong senior season moved him up to the 7th Round, when Oakland took him and sent him to Low-A Burlington for 27 relief innings after a three-inning look-see in the Arizona League.
Treinin features a mid-90s fastball and what Sickels called "a workable slider" in his book last season. He also throws a change. As predicted by Sickels, the 24-year-old was given a shot at starting last summer and went 7-7 with a 4.37 ERA and a 1.350 WHIP with good peripherals (2.0BB/9IP, 8.0K/9IP). It's too soon to tell what the Nats have planned for him, but a guess would be that if he starts, it's Potomac; if he relieves, he might have a chance at Harrisburg.

I think it is safe to say that this trade negates the damage of losing the draft pick for signing Soriano. I hope that the PTBNL is not just a throwaway.
It's the first time that I had heard of Cole's fading FB, during his senior year of H.S.
Interesting that there was such a performance discrepancy between high A and low A. I guess in the world of baseball almost anything is possible!
unless PTBNL is a good prospect, this is a poor deal. Cole is raw and Trienan just organizational fodder. I think Rizzo did Beast a favor. He'd have gotten more in return by waiting until spring training. Sigh. Span better be awesome or this year won't fulfill the lofty expectations….
John Sickels of minorleagueball.com, and indeed just about every commentator that I've seen, really liked the Nats' end of this trade. But hey, your mileage clearly varies. I'm going with Sickels, et al.
Does anybody know how PTBNL works? Is the player known to the trading teams, but just won't be announced to the player/fans until some later time? OR, goes the "giving" team have to provide a list of X number of protected players, and the "receiving" team then can make their selection at some future date? Or, something else?
Obviously a lot depends on how good that PTBNL turns out to be, but I suspect Cole is the biggest prospect we're getting in this. Given those high-A and low-A weak 2012 results it is kind of surprising that BA had him ranked so high (as a prospect) for Oakland. But assuming the PTBNL is decent, then we got roughly what would have been expected, with at least two high-potential pitching prospects.
I expected some immediate LH bullpen help for Morse but I'll gladly take Cole back. pass the butter cuz Rizzo is on a roll
Now we're talking!
I'm guessing & hoping that Rizzo is thinking what us seamheads are thinking, that once A.J. gets back in to the loving arms (bad pun) of the Nats developmental staff he will prosper.
Luke, you're confusing anyone new to this site by calling him a 4th rounder. He was a "4th rounder", a classic thumbing of the nose at Bud (Lite) Selig. I can't wait to see him again & I'm sure Rizzo shares my ardor.
Sure going to miss Morse, but happy with the return. I agree completely with Steve about Span.
Great photo by the way!
Might the PTBNL be one of Oakland 2012 draftees since I believe draftees can not be traded until the following years draft? Six months delay would cover the 2013 draft, I bewieve, and thus make a 2012 draftee available. Food for thought.
Let's Play Two!
Signing deadline was 7/14 so the 6 month trade blackout for '12 draftees ended last week.
I like the trade. A.J. Cole is a prospect with a high ceiling, just the kind of player Rizzo wanted. The Nats weren't going to get any elite pitching prospect such as Paxton or Hulsten(sp? I'm too lazy to look it up) so they got the next best, one who might turn out to be every bit as good in the long run. Treinin, apparently, is potentially better than a throw in as well.
I think a lot of Cole's '12 stuggles may have just been bad luck, his BABIP-Against was whopping .403. Also, his FIP was 2.5 pts below is ERA (though a 4.99 FIP isn't good). His k/9 were down from 9ish to 7.5 so that's not great, but his BB/9 was steady.
Once demoted to low A last year he was outstanding again (9.6 k/9, .291 BABIP, 2.07 ERA, 2.74 FIP) and at 20 he's not especially "old" for that level…
here's another take on Cole's '12 season
Nice writeup. I've been to Prospect361.com a couple of times. Good writeup on Goodwin as well.
Interesting the http://www.statcorner.com guy must be a Mariners fan. He absolutely hated the deal … you type in statcorner.com and you get a huge "I hate you Mariners".
Not sure why?
Last year John Jaso amazingly was the Mariner's best hitter … by a huge margin and its reflected in the http://www.statcorner.com's advanced stats …
AJ Cole in A managed to throw more than a 4 to 1 ratio strikes to balls as a starter in A ball in 2012. Whereas in A+. It was just above 2 to 1 ratio strikes to ball. Decided difference in control that could be explained by his "flying open" reported by scouts.
He had over 4 to 1 strikes to balls in Hagerstown the previous year.
I'll bet he'll respond to the Nats coaching better.
Rizzo mentioned that the California league that Cole pitched in has a habit of 'eating' pitchers.
Luke, anybody, help me with understanding why this league is tough on pitchers??
Read last year that the Cal League & the PCL (AAA) were 'off the charts' hitters leagues.
Be glad we don't have any teams in either; pretty hard to evaluate your talent. Hitters or pitchers.
Sun baked, hard packed infields and sometimes outfields where the ball tends to run, take weird or Baltimore chop type bounces.
Desert winds don't help either.
Sounds like Potomac needs a new pitching coach for Ray, Cole, and Trienen.
Texas league has same problem. You need to break down power numbers in PCL because of a number of parks are mile high! Line drives work everywhere but moon shots are helped big time.
[…] system came in at #16 — I was expecting somewhere in the mid-20s. And this does not include the return of A.J. Cole. Much like 2011, the folks in Durham really approved of the gamble taken with the drafting of Lucas […]
[…] other shoe has dropped on the Michael Morse trade, as the Nationals announced that LHP Ian Krol is the infamous "player to be named […]

Its been five years since the King of Pop suddenly passed away. Michael Jackson is now being accused of sexual abuse by 34 year old James Safechuck who claims the superstar molested as a child.
According to court papers filed on Monday, Safechuck, alleges he was 10 years old when he was abused by Jackson. Safechuck alleges the abuse took place after the taping of a Pepsi commercial that he appeared in with the King of Pop.
Today People.com reported the abuse occurred after "multiple visits to Jackson's home (some of which were chaperoned by his parents) and several all-expense-paid cross-country trips, Safechuck joined the pop star on his "Bad" tour, which is when he alleges the first incident of sexual abuse occurred."
Safechuck claims the abuse began at the Hotel de Crillon during the Paris portion of Jackson's tour.
The documents allege Safechuck received jewelry from Jackson as a "reward" for sexual favors. Documents also allege Jackson taught Safechuck code words to keep their sexual activities hidden.
Documents state Safechuck alleges the pop star "installed chimes in the hallway to his bedroom" as a early warning of people approaching and Jackson had a "secret closet" hidden in his bedroom where the abuse took place with Safechuck. Over a four year period Safechuck claims Jackson "engaged in sexual acts with him hundreds of times."
Safechuck says when he "hit puberty at 12 years old, Jackson began grooming him for separation [that] spanned several months and focusing his attention on a younger boy named Brett, Safechuck claims. Eventually, Jackson stopped sexually abusing Safechuck but continued supporting him financially and put him in touch with industry people to guide his career," he adds.
Documents state in 1993, Safechuck alleges he testified at the child sexual abuse trial of Jordan Chandler where Jackson said the claims "were a complete extortion on the part of the Chandler family."
Safechuck claims his relationship with the King of Pop "tapered off" around the age of 17 years old and he enrolled at Moorpark Community College. This is when he "began having panic attacks."
Safechuck claims when he was 25 years old, Jackson contacted him and asked him to testify on his behalf in another sexual abuse case. Safechuck alleges Jackson "got angry and threatened him" when he refused to help him. In 2005, Jackson was acquitted on all charges of child molestation.
After seeing Wade Robson file a lawsuit against Jackson claiming he was also sexually abuse by the superstar, Safechuck decided to move forward and began seeing a psychiatrist to help him deal with his anxiety.
Jackson's estate slammed the allegations in a statement to E! News on Wednesday.
"Mr. Safechuck's request to file a late claim against the Jackson Estate so he can recover money from Michael's beneficiary will hopefully be rejected," says the statement. "This is a person that made his claim five years after Michael died, more than 20 years after the incidents supposedly happened and has given sworn testimony that Michael never did anything inappropriate to him."
A hearing has been scheduled for September in this latest case against Jackson.
Research has shown, along with parents and caregivers, many educators are unaware of the signs, symptoms and prevention of childhood sexual abuse adding to the rapid and ever rising statistics. This is unacceptable with over 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the United States affecting 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 7 boys.
There are ways to protect your children from abuse by learning the signs and symptoms of child abuse and childhood sexual abuse. Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit child abuse and neglect awareness organization, dedicated to educating the public on the signs, symptoms, statics, intervention, prevention to assist victims and survivors in locating the proper resources to help achieve and enable a full recovery. This amazing organization is run by two moms on a mission to make a difference in the lives of children around the globe.

College Hockey:Merrimack topples UNH, 4-2
Da Costa injured in third period
DURHAM, NH — Merrimack earned an impressive road victory over sixth-ranked New Hampshire, 4-2, but will have to wait to see if it was a Pyrrhic one.
The Warriors seized a 3-1 lead in the second period and never trailed while giving UNH only its third league loss. However, a play early in the third period sent star forward Stephane Da Costa to the ice, gesturing toward Phil DeSimone and pounding the ice in frustration. He was helped off the ice and could not put any weight on the leg with the injured knee.
DeSimone was involved in another critical play, one that went Merrimack's way, a great opportunity five minutes into the third period in which he was denied by goaltender Joe Cannata.
"Joe's only got to make one save a game—the game-winner," Merrimack head coach Mark Dennehy said. "That might have been it. He's made eighteen of them this year."
With that 18th win and twelfth in Hockey East, Merrimack kept pace for third place with Boston University, which defeated UMass in overtime. The two teams are tied with the Warriors holding a game in hand.
Perhaps even more significantly, the win vaulted Merrimack into sixth place in the PairWise, one position above UNH. With a win in their rematch on Saturday, the Warriors would put themselves within three points of first place. Their record now stands at 10-1 since the holiday break.
With Merrimack and New Hampshire a collective 18-4-4 in their own buildings, the numbers predicted each team holding serve at home. The Warriors had other ideas, however, coming out strong in the first period, outshooting UNH, 17-9. Despite going into the locker room tied, 1-1, the tone had been set.
Midway through the second, the Warriors scored twice in the span of less than a minute to seize a 3-1 lead. After UNH rallied to get within one, Mike Collins, who'd been a force earlier without scoring, buried an important insurance goal.
Arguably, the warriors outplayed their hosts and on this particular night were the better team.
"Until that last second ticks off, you're not too relaxed against a UNH team," Dennehy said. It's a hard place to play. They're so opportunistic.
"I'd love to get strapped to an EKG during the game every time they touch the puck, especially that [Mike] Sislo -DeSimone -[Paul] Thompson line. They put you on the edge of your seat whenever they're out there. They're incredibly dangerous.
"That's a really good team so for us to come in and get two points, it must have been a pretty good effort."
For UNH, the disappointing loss came after a thrilling weekend sweep over archrival Maine that gave the Wildcats sole possession of first place. Now, they've fallen back into a tie with Boston College, albeit with a game in hand they'll use on Saturday.
"They beat us in our building so now we've got to go down there tomorrow and find a way to beat them in their own building," UNH head coach Dick Umile said. "Give them the credit. We didn't get enough shots on their goaltender."
Merrimack got the best of it in the first period, outshooting its hosts, 17-9, but remained tied, 1-1. The Warriors got on the board three minutes into the game when Fraser Allan shot from left point and Brian Brodhag redirected it in from right post. Just 20 seconds later, however, UNH evened it on an unassisted goal by defenseman Brett Kostolansky.
At 12:21 of the second, the Warriors seized the lead again on an Adam Ross shot from the point through a screen. Less than a minute later, they struck again for a 3-1 lead. Karl Stollery's shot from the point went wide, but Carter Madsen backhanded the rebound in as a teammate was pushed into the post, knocking the goal off its moorings. After video review, the goal stood.
The Wildcats got back to within one at 17:31 when Mike Borisenok passed in front to Stevie Moses, but at 6:57 of the third the Warriors put the game away on the power play. Karl Stollery moved the puck to Chris Barton on left boards, who passed to Joe Cucci on far post. Cucci fed back to Collins for the goal.

Capcom officially announced on August 5 that an HD remastered version of Resident Evil is in the works and is set to be released sometime in early 2015.
The HD remastering will be based on the GameCube remake that was released in 2002, which is often known as REmake by fans and Capcom. The game will be available for all current and Next-Gen consoles along with the PC as a digital download only.
The game will have graphics set at 1080p and running at 60fps along with 5.1 surround support while given the choice of playing the game in the classic 4:3 ratio or 16:9 widescreen. Gamers will also have the option to play using the original controller settings or choosing from a series of settings that is best for them.
Not confirmed but it could be speculated that the game will include additional bonus features not included in the original game or GameCube remake.
News of an HD Resident Evil has been well meet by the gaming community and game critics as many have been demanding it for sometime. Many fans missed out on the GameCube remake since they owned a PlayStation 2 and are hoping to finally play a classic they had missed.
The original Resident Evil was released for the PlayStation in 1996 and has been hailed as one of the greatest games for establishing the foundation of the horror survival genre. The franchise has spawned a massive franchise that includes many sequels and spin-off games along with a movie series.
Its story is one of the most memorable ones as it follows the actions S.T.A.R.S (a special unit of the Raccoon Police Department) as they investigate and uncover the secrets of the Umbrella Corporation.
