Best Practices with sudo on Linux
Dos and Dont's of sudo
September 1, 2010
Best Practices with sudoMany Linux users are familiar with sudo these days. Ubuntu has done a lot to popularize sudo by enforcing its use in place of encouraging users to use su to switch to the root account to install software and perform other administrative tasks. But there's much more to sudo that users and admins should know.
What many users aren't aware of is that sudo can be used to execute commands as any user, not just the root user. In the hands of a skilled admin, sudo can be used to set up fine-grained permissions to provide users with access to perform a few administrative tasks without giving away the keys to the kingdom. Let's look at some of the best practices for controlling system access with sudo while still allowing users to be productive.
Remember, you must use the visudo command to edit the /etc/sudoers file.
It's tempting, and simpler, to give trusted users full access with sudo and allow them to execute any command as any user. Fight that temptation, because you want to limit access to the bare minimum whenever possible.
Where sudo Falls DownYes, sudo is a powerful tool, but it's also complex to configure well and difficult to maintain. When used with a minimal number of systems by experienced admins, it's an adequate method of implementing role based access controls. But for larger shops with dozens of IT staff and tens or hundreds of servers, sudo quickly starts to show its flaws. You can shore up sudo with additional tools. One way is to use a configuration framework like Puppet to manage sudo configurations across multiple systems. This can be particularly effective in shops that are primarily Linux and Unix based, though Puppet's learning curve may be a bit steep.
If your organization has deployed Microsoft Active Directory in a mixed network of Linux and Windows servers, you can use Likewise Enterprise to bridge Linux and Unix systems to Active Directory. Not only is it possible to tie Linux and Unix logins to Active Directory credentials, but also to manage sudo configurations for all servers in the network.
You can find other tools that help supplement sudo to provide more robust privileged user management. The important thing is to assess your network and decide whether sudo alone is sufficient to handle your needs. For small businesses, sudo is usually just fine -- if you follow best practices and stay on top of the sudo configuration. If sudo isn't managed correctly, it's almost worse than simply sharing root credentials, because it provides a false sense of security. Know how to use sudo and follow these best practices, and then you can relax and enjoy every sandwich.

Watch Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! is an animated television show that airs on Disney XD and Teletoon. Disney XD airs the show in the United States, and Teletoon airs the show in Canada. The show has run a total of two seasons consisting of 52 episodes. The first episode premiered on October 20, 2010. The Avengers is part of a programming schedule alongside another Marvel and Disney property.
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! follows the original Avengers to begin with, and expands the super hero group as the series progresses. The original characters are Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Wasp, and the Incredible Hulk. Each character has their own specific powers and skills. These skills range from an extremely high tech suit of armor to superhuman strength and durability. The storylines are actually based on stories written by the original comic book creators, which has led to quite a bit of fan support. Season one focuses on the creation of the Avengers due to a mass breakout of super villains from all of Earth's most dangerous prisons. Season two focuses on multiple invasions of Earth by alien races. The first half of the season deals with a Skrull invasion, and the second half deals with a Kree invasion.
As the series progresses, new characters and villains show up to expand the universe. Familiar characters such as Spider-Man and Captain America make an appearance alongside relatively unknowns such as Vision and Hawkeye. Recurring villains include Loki, the Enchantress, the Skrulls, and the Kree. Cameos include characters from many of Marvel's other properties, which has helped to keep the fans happy. These cameos have included Wolverine, Doctor Doom, and the Fantastic Four.
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! has received favorable reviews from fans and critics alike. Much of the series praise has come about due to how true the creators have remained to the source material. The source material was written by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and many other writers. The series draws its storylines from all of the different generations of the Marvel Universe, not just the most recent.
In the end, this series has received almost universally positive reviews. There has been some concern that the series had been cancelled, but this has been debunked by the creators. The series will return as the Avengers Assemble television show set to premier in 2013.

Book synopsis
The Theater of Educational Possibility is a graphic textbook dealing with the representation of the art and theory of teaching and learning. It merges images, poetry, academic and theoretical discourses, instructional techniques, sociological analysis, and music lyrics in an effort to show pre-service and in-service teachers and teacher-educators how to enact a critical and creative project of educational reform, renewal and transformation. It is designed to provoke and initiate dialogue and to encourage and support the creation of new knowledge about teaching, learning, literacy, culture, and power. The premise of The Theater arises from the idea that our teaching works best when it operates in authentic contexts of learning. Against the grain of both conservative and liberal educational thought, The Theater challenges educators to think critically and act creatively in the service of a more humane, peaceful and just future.
About the author(s)/editor(s)
Eric J. Weiner earned his PhD from Pennsylvania State University in 2001. He has been practicing critical pedagogy and critical literacy within the context of teacher education and undergraduate honors education at Montclair State University in New Jersey for the past ten years. His first book, Private Learning, Public Needs: The Neoliberal Assault on Democratic Education (Peter Lang) was published in 2005. His work crosses traditional academic disciplinary boundaries and focuses on the work of the imagination, the sociology of knowledge/power relations, critical literacies, schooling and indoctrination, and free-thinking. He is also an artist and published poet.
«Eric Weiner has given new meaning in 'The Theater of Educational Possibility' to the relationship between theory and practice in the field of critical pedagogy. He has produced a brilliant graphic representation of how to understand critical pedagogy and how to use it as a valuable resource for teaching. And he does so by mixing mediums and modes of address so as to embrace a wide variety of ways in which critical pedagogy can provoke, enlighten, and spark imaginative dialogue and critical teaching. This is a cutting edge book that is not only informative but a pleasure to read and from which to learn.» (Henry A. Giroux, Global Television Network Chair Professor, English and Cultural Studies, Faculty of Humanities, McMaster University)
«What a clever and passionate invitation to participate in critical transformations of teaching and learning! Eric Weiner's mash-up of ideas, words, and images points to what schooling has been, why it is the way it is now, and where it could go in order to secure more democratic and egalitarian futures. This Theater is full of voices certain to fire your imagination.» (Patrick Shannon, Professor of Literacy, Language and Culture, Pennsylvania State University)

Check out Vi Hart. She recently joined the Khan Academy team, and continues to make high quality pieces. These are pretty incredible videos on a variety of math topics, in quite the entertaining way. I'm particularly fond of Binary Hand Dance, Infinity Elephants, Pi is (still) wrong, and the Doodling series.
For a lot of students in math classes, the question often becomes, "Why does this matter to me?" Other than the obvious answer (it's math!), sometimes we might struggle to make legitimate connections to real-world examples (hello Common Core).
If you've not yet heard of Khan Academy, you might want to check them out. Just this past weekend they were featured on 60 Minutes. They've also been profiled by CNN, John Stossel, and Tom Brokaw. The videos on the site are easy to watch, and for many math topics there are practice problem sets.
Looking for something spirally to use in your class? What's your favorite Vi Hart video?

Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of the punk band Bikini Kill and dance-punk trio Le Tigre, rose to national attention as the reluctant but never shy voice of the riot grrrl movement. She became one of the most famously outspoken feminist icons, a cultural lightning rod. Her critics wished she would just shut-up, and her fans hoped she never would. So in 2005, when Hanna stopped shouting, many wondered why. Through 20 years of archival footage and intimate interviews with Hanna, this documentary takes viewers on a fascinating tour of contemporary music and offers a never-before-seen view into the life of this fearless leader.

Curry County Commissioner Susan Brown was hit with a barrage of questions regarding county government at a recent homebuilders' meeting — everything from charter forms of government to her distrust of government in general.
The meeting was a far cry from a similar meeting at which Commissioner David Brock Smith met with a contentious audience as he outlined the rationale behind the property tax levy he helped craft and his attempt to get homebuilders' support for it.
The Curry County Homebuilders Association "resoundingly" came out against the five-year levy, which will be on the May 21 ballot and asks citizens to raise taxes $1.84 per $1,000 assessed valuation for those in cities and $1.97 per $1,000 for those in rural areas.
President Dave Frazier said last month, "the overwhelming consensus was unfavorable towards any new tax, or any increase in existing taxes. The group believes the correction period we are experiencing has not been felt sufficiently enough to ensure that future budgets or spending by the county will reflect our belief in having a smaller government that is essential in the long run, regardless of whether or not there is an improvement in the economy."
Brown was the only commissioner to vote against putting the levy on the ballot, preferring instead a permanent tax to support a law enforcement district.
"Will I vote for it?" she said to a question posed to her. "Personally? As a citizen and taxpayer? No."
She outlined the reasons: the disparity of the tax increases between urban and rural property owners — 38 percent of county services used by those living in cities and a mere 7 percent difference between the two tax levy amounts — its temporary status of five years; the fact that the sheriff's office budget would still be included in the general fund; and the $4.5 million revenue it would generate when the department currently operates on a $3.6 million budget.
Brown believes there are other options — lots of them. And she invited those in attendance to submit their ideas.
She believes her idea to create a permanent law enforcement district and a levy to support it won't take the one to two years to put in place as she's been told by Sheriff John Bishop, who also supports the idea.
And she realizes that, if the May 21 levy fails and a law enforcement levy is placed on the ballot in November and is approved, there must be ways to fund operations in the five-month gap before the county will see revenue for the new district from that levy.
The homebuilders were more amenable to listening to Brown's anti-tax feelings and her idea for the creation of a law enforcement district than they were to Smith's attempt to win them over last month. But some were still a little skeptical.
"The homebuilders came out with a resounding 'no' (for the ballot levy)," said homebuilders association president Dave Frazier. "And I'll probably put my foot in my mouth, but they'll probably say no in November, too. The general consensus is that we really need a major change."
That's what Brown wants, she explained.
She said she's spoken to law enforcement in the county's three cities and they think an agreement between cities and the county to back each other up to achieve full coverage in the county could work.
But at the core of it all, she believes the county has — despite its layoffs and spinoffs — still got too much fat on the bone.
"A lot of expense-cutting can still be done," she said. "It's amazing the stuff I've found. It's a lot of little stuff, but it all adds up."
She cited the cancellation of GIS contracts between the county and cities that used to bring revenue to the general fund. She said there are departments manned by, say, three employees — of which two are in higher-paying management positions.
"We haven't even addressed in-house spending," she said. "It's tough, but we have do some housecleaning at our own level before we ask taxpayers to pony up money."
She cited a recent incident in which two new office chairs arrived — bearing a $2,000 bill.
"That's unbelievable," she said. "Two chairs, at $1,000 apiece. I'm thinking, 'Oh, my god; how am I going to explain that to the taxpayers — and justify it?' And they (commissioners) want you to pay a tax? There's got to be a way to do better. People let (things like) this slide by. They say you can't do anything about it. I say, 'Why not?'"
The commissioners are working to form a committee where citizens can, again, submit their ideas about belt-tightening.
"I've had people call and suggest putting in a county lottery," she said. "Reallocate existing taxes. It's not my job to say those aren't good ideas. If it comes up, it needs to be on the table. Throw it out there. We might come up with something that's like, 'Wow.'"
She doesn't discount the idea of creating a charter form of government, which could include a county manager rather than three commissioners. There are nine Oregon counties with charter forms of government, and a committee could learn from their successes and failures.
Perhaps commissioners could serve part-time as a policy-making board and hire a county administrator, she said.
Brown offered the idea of asking the state to approve a county-wide lodging tax — she estimates it would bring in about $750,000 — to be temporarily dedicated to the general fund and then reverted to tourism endeavors, as is required by state law.
Also, she would like the planning department to be more streamlined, making it easier for builders to do their jobs.

Tuesday was day two in dealing with the death of a loved one for Captain Shawn English's family.
Captain English died Sunday when an improvised explosive devise detonated just north of Baghdad in Iraq.
Captain English's wife Trisha spent much of Tuesday at the Naval Support Academy meeting with her husband's former colleagues, going over funeral plans, and plans for a memorial service that'll take place, Thursday, at the Woodlawn Methodist Church in Panama City Beach.
The memorial service will take place at the Woodlawn United Methodist Church at in Panama City Beach at 4 p.m. on Thursday in Captain English's honor.
His funeral will be held in his home state, Ohio, following the service.
On an interesting note, English's family says they've been encouraged by Linda Cope, the mother of a wounded soldier who was raised in Panama City Beach.
Family members said her well wishes gave them strength through what's mostly likely going to be a tough road ahead.

Designing The Angular Logo Part 3
Once we'd settled on the logo shape, we decided to refine the logotype, colour and shape of the outer box. The typeface chosen was Courier New for it's utilitarian connotations which seemed to connect well with the aesthetic of the label, and the text was positioned at a 60 degree angle to match up to the plug shape. The outer box was flattened and the corners rounded more to produce the version below; which would be the official ARC logo for the next 5 years:
The most recent change took this place this year, when we decided to make the lines of the logo and box bolder, simplify the shape of the logo, and revert to a Gill Sans typeface, with the emphasis on the word 'angular'... This has allowed us to have 3 versions of the logo for 'recording corporation', 'publishing' and 'store', the first of which can be seen here:

The hype is building for the long awaited rematch between Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley (31-0, 12 KOs), and Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs) for the WBO welterweight title, the title currently held by Bradley. Pacquiao vs. Bradley 2 will take place, Saturday, April 12, at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, and televised live on HBO Pay-Per-View. The event is being presented by Top Rank, in association with MP Promotions and Tacate.
The first meeting back in 2012 ended badly for both fighters. Although Bradley won the fight by split-decision,the boxing world was shocked by the outcome of the scores by the judges. Through no fault of his own, Bradley had to endure some unjust critisism for the win, he hopes to silence the critics come April 12.
Manny Pacquiao is in the twilight of his career, he will surely go down as one the greatest fighters in history. The first meeting with Bradley left a sour taste in his mouth, a win would right the wrong in his eyes.
Without a doubt, Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao are great fighters, but both are at the crossroads in their respected careers, and both want to prove why they each deserve the WBO welterweight title. The score needs to be settled, it's unfinished business for both.
One can be sure of one thing, the best fighter will win on April 12. This rematch determines the future for both, boxing fans can expect nothing short of pure toe-to-to action.

2 suspects arrested for pair of NSB burglaries
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 3:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
An attempt to pass a check police suspected had been stolen during a burglary of a New Smyrna Beach auto repair shop, resulted in two men in jail and two burglaries being solved, police reports said.
Investigators arrested and charged David Allen Robinson, 47, New Smyrna Beach and David Jack Leineke, 24, Naugatuck, Conn., with burglary Tuesday after Leineke attempted to cash a check from Fisher's Body Shop at a Wells Fargo Bank branch in Edgewater.
Earlier in the day, police said, Leineke cashed a check from the auto repair shop at a New Smyrna Beach Wells Fargo bank branch for $315.
The arrest report indicates both checks were believed taken from the Orange Street shop during a Monday night burglary. More than $3,000 worth of tools were also taken, police said.
Those tools were found in the trunk of a car traced to Robinson, the report said.
Also in the trunk were tools police believe were stolen during the break-in of a work van at Barringer Construction on Wayne Avenue which occurred sometime between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning.
Robinson was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail after processing and held on $5,000 bail.
Leineke is also at the Branch Jail on charges of burglary and uttering a false instrument in an attempt to defraud. His bail has been set at $20,000.

The Sugar Land Skeeters rallied from a two-all tie in the ninth inning to score a single run and down Long Island by the score of 3-2 in the second game of their current series against the Ducks on Saturday, May 24, 2014 at Constellation Field in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land, Texas.
The first five innings were fairly uneventful; with both teams getting hits but neither team able to capitalize and get anyone home.
Single runs by both teams in the sixth inning and a single run by Long Island in the seventh gave them a 2-1 lead late in the game.
The Skeeters erased the lead with a run in the eighth, tying the score and gave the impression of the game going to extra innings.
With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, Skeeters left fielder Ryan Langerhans connected with a bases-loaded single to score catcher Koby Clemens from third base for the win.
But the action on the field was not the only event going on at Constellation Field on this Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
Children were playing on the inflatable behind the first base seats and riding the carrousel behind left-center field.
The first evening of the Skeeters' annual barbecue cook-off was going on behind the center field area with fans voting for their favorites after the conclusion of the game.
The cook-off is scheduled to continue on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. with judging by the experts and cold beer and a DJ to entertain the fans prior to the game.
The Skeeters and Ducks will face off again on Sunday at 2:05 p.m. CDT for game three, with the final game of the series occurring on Monday, May 26, 2014 with a 2:05 p.m. CDT first pitch.

This October, former 1SG Steve Holden, a retired and decorated Army combat medic, will show his passion and share his dream of being a professional outdoorsman on the new Destination America television series, The Calling TV.
Last year, when a close friend declined the opportunity to take part in the show it only took Steve a "Texas minute" to accept the spot along with two others. What an opportunity it's been.
Friday night, the week-long filming for Season One wrapped up at the Birdwell and Clark Ranch in Henrietta, Texas.
This was posted on The Calling TV's Facebook page:
Everyone has a calling in life. These 3 extraordinary people have answered their calling to be outdoor TV personalities. The 10 episode series follows them as they step away from their normal lives and live the demanding and stressful lives of an outdoor TV star for one week.
Aiming at an audience of hunters and non-hunters alike, producer and champion bow hunter Ken Cobb said of the Sunday night program, "It ain't all about hunting... it's about the journey and the honesty and integrity you maintain along the way."
Steve Holden, a native of Missouri, invites his friends and family to share in the fun. Those who would love to see him in future episodes and follow his journey of becoming a professional hunter should log onto The Calling TV's Facebook page and then #TeamSteven .

I have DOOM 1.9 [the shareware version] on a Windows 95 computer and I just beat Knee-Deep In The Dead. I know of a couple places to get other .wad files for DOOM, and I was wondering if all .wad files are compatible with all versions of DOOM, or would I need to get special ones, and if so, where can I get them?
I did a bit of custom WAD writing back in the day, and from what I remember there were only two big rules when creating your own custom WADs:
So, if the WADs were written by anyone who followed iD's rules, you won't be able to use them with your shareware version. But, come on, you can pick up the full version of DOOM or DOOM II for pennies these days (either new on Steam, or for about the same price second hand elsewhere).
Of course now that the DOOM engine has been released for free under the GPL you could theoretically run any WAD with that, but if the WAD you download is a pWAD (patch WAD) that attaches to the (still iD copyrighted) iWAD files as a patch (as many of them do) then you will need to buy a legitimate copy of the iD WAD to use with whichever DOOM engine you have. However for total conversion iWADs that replace all graphics and sounds and don't use any iD copyrighted material (like the original Star Wars DOOM or Aliens DDOM) then you could use any of the free DOOM engines available now.
AFAIK you cannot use the Doom 2 or Final Doom wads with Doom 1.9. Also, given that you have the shareware, third-party wadfiles won't work either.
You can get all of the games on Steam for $34.95. You can also get all of the Doom games in the Collectors Edition Bundle from Amazon used.
I strongly recommend getting either and then using the Doomsday Engine instead of the classic Doom engine. Its cross platform and has lots of new perks.
Also, Doom is not abandonware, so its illegal to download the WADs without owning the game.

Hawkin's Market in Medina was "busier than it should have been" Sunday — the day after a computer system outage prevented Ohioans and residents of 16 other states from using their food stamp cards.
Store night manager Ryan Redd said Saturday was a difficult day for staff at the store, at 233 Lafayette Road in Medina. Even though they posted signs about the outage at the doors and cash registers, customers didn't always notice them.
"Every 15 or 20 minutes I had to have one of the (grocery baggers) bring back a whole cart of abandoned groceries," he said.
Redd said customers were quite upset, and many thought the problem was caused by the federal government shutdown, he said.
The store serves many low-income customers who receive food assistance benefits, he said.
The number of Medina County food stamp recipients has increased steadily over the last 10 years — more than tripling from 3,657 in July 2003 to 11, 598 this July, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
Statewide, the number of Ohioans receiving food stamp more than doubled, from 884, 678 to 1.8 million over the same 10 years. Nationwide, about 47 million receive food stamps.
People throughout the county found themselves temporarily unable to use their SNAP food stamp cards Saturday morning, after a routine test of backup systems by Xerox Corp. sparked technical problems that shut down the states' electronic benefit transfer, or EBT, systems.
Xerox said late in the evening that access was restored for all users.
"Restarting the EBT system required time to ensure service was back at full functionality," spokeswoman Jennifer Wasmer said in an email. An emergency voucher process was available in some of the areas while the problems were occurring, she said.
U.S. Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Courtney Rowe underscored that the outage was not related to the government shutdown.
The scene in Medina was replicated in other states.
Shoppers left carts of groceries behind at a packed Market Basket grocery store in Biddeford, Maine, on Saturday because they couldn't get their benefits, said shopper Barbara Colman, of Saco, Maine.
The manager put up a sign saying the EBT system was not in use. Colman, who receives the benefits, called an 800 telephone line for the program and it said the system was down due to maintenance, she said.
Besides Ohio and Maine, states affected by the temporary outage included Michigan, Alabama, California, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
Ohio's cash and food assistance card payment systems went down at 11 a.m., said Benjamin Johnson, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
Johnson said Xerox asked retailers to revert to a manual system, meaning customers could spend up to $50 until the system was restored.
Illinois residents began reporting problems with their cards — known as LINK in that state — on Saturday morning, said Januari Smith, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Human Services.
Smith said that typically when the cards aren't working retailers can call a backup phone number to find out how much money customers have available in their account. But that information also was unavailable because of the outage, so customers weren't able to use their cards.
In Clarksdale, Miss. — one of the poorest parts of one of the poorest states in the nation — cashier Eliza Shook said dozens of angry customers at Corner Grocery had to put back groceries when the cards failed Saturday because they couldn't afford to pay for the food.
After several hours, she put a sign on the front door to tell people about the problem.
Mississippi Department of Human Services director Rickey Berry confirmed that Xerox, the state's EBT vendor, had had computer problems.
"I know there are a lot of mad people," Berry said.
Sheree Powell, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, started receiving calls around 11:30 a.m. about problems with the state's card systems.
More than 600,000 Oklahomans receive SNAP benefits, and money is dispersed to the cards on the first, fifth and 10th days of every month, so the disruption came at what is typically a high-use time for the cards.
Oklahoma also runs a separate debit card system for other state benefits like unemployment payments. Those cards can be used at ATMs to withdraw cash. Powell said Xerox administers both the EBT and debit card systems, and they both were down initially.
Powell said that some grocery store cashiers had been speculating that the federal government's shutdown caused the problem, but state officials have been assured that that is not the case.
Powell said Oklahoma's Xerox representative told them that the problems stemmed from a power failure at a data center.

The Choir also participated in the recordings for the Complete Works of Joaquin Rodrigo released by EMI to celebrate the centennial of the composer's birth.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- River watchers say it looks like the Mississippi is starting to level out around Memphis, Tenn., and could crest tonight, just shy of a record.
Parts of low-lying neigborhoods in the city are under water and more than 1,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. Forecasters say the city could get be in for rain and possible flash flooding.
Hundreds of people in Memphis have been urged to leave their homes, but officials are confident the levees will hold, and there are no plans for further evacuations.
The water isn't threatening the music heartland's most recognizable landmarks. Officials say Elvis Presley's home, Graceland, is safe. The head of the county's emergency management agency says he's going to make sure it stays that way.
In Louisiana, the Army Corps of Engineers has partially opened a spillway that diverts the river into a lake, to ease pressure on the levee system in the New Orleans area.

Re: Limo/Hearse Lug Nut Specs?
9 person birthday party + new jersey car swallowing pothole + no impact absorbing sidewall + under rated aluminum rims = Hospital + insurance + lawyers + totaled car.
No duck or gecko will get you out of that one. Plus, the wagon looks REALLY good. Is it black or blue?
Re: Limo/Hearse Lug Nut Specs?
Yeah, I figured better safe than sorry. I'm sure there's some cushion built into the load rating, but they'd be way over with the limo loaded up.
The wagon is a black '96 with a tow package. Pretty rare combination of things from what we've heard.

Re: Limo/Hearse Lug Nut Specs?
I just ordered lugs for my 1996 Hearse and it is the same lug as the standard 1996 Fleetwood RWD.
Re: Limo/Hearse Lug Nut Specs?
Thanks. I got 1/2-20 nuts but haven't tried them yet.The manual says the non-commercial nuts are metric and smaller, which is the reason you shoudn't use limo wheels on a standard Fleetwood. My brother's 96 BRMW has the metric nuts.

Mules aren't going anywhere anytime soon, and for spring, most mules are being designed with a strong minimalist approach in both structure and ornamentation. These Manolo Blahnik Boril Crystal Satin Suede Mules are anything but minimal, though, and I love them.
The popular '90s mules were platformed and clunky, but now mules have been stripped of those elements for a sleeker minimalist feel. These Manolos, on the other hand, are very traditional with their satin and suede lace upper, topped with a crystal detail that extends up onto the wearer's foot. The crystal buckle and lace and satin detailing give this mule an obvious royal and luxurious feel, and it wouldn't entirely surprise me to see Kate Middleton wearing a more demure colorway of this shoe to some sort of very fancy event. While this mule may not be your cup of tea, kudos to the brand for taking a very popular shoe trend and taking it in a distinctly Manolo direction.
Buy your Manolo Blahnik Boril Crystal Satin Suede Mules through Saks for $915.

The boys of Big
Time Rush have found a whole new voice for their second album, Elevate. James Maslow, Logan Henderson, Carlos Pena and Kendall Schmidt worked tirelessly to put together an infectious pop album that will no doubt please fans of their hit Nickelodeon TV show, but could earn them some new followers as well.
"We spent almost a year creating it," Maslow recently told MTV News.
"Between the four of us, we wrote eight out of the 12 songs, and everything from the album artwork to the title and, most importantly, the songs really have matured and are a better expression of who we are verses the first album, which was written for the TV show."
For their second effort, Big Time Rush worked with some of the biggest producers in music, including Ryan Tedder, J.R. Rotem and former 'NSYNC member JC Chasez. Yet, they have a different 'NSYNC alum in mind for a dream collaboration: "[We] always talked about working with Justin Timberlake," Maslow revealed. Schmidt added, "We're huge fans of his music."
Elevate has some stiff competition on the Billboard charts, including Rihanna's latest album, Talk That Talk, and Adele's 21.
"I don't care if we get to #1," Schmidt said. "The company that we are in is so incredible, to be considered with these people is an honor."
Maslow added, "Those are great artists, but I think we kinda stay in our own little world as well."
Big Time Rush are planning to hit the road in February for their "Better With U" Tour, their first in the U.S.

This morning NVIDIA launched its next flagship GPU, the GeForce GTX 780. The 780 keeps all the styling cues of the massively popular GTX TITAN and features several hardware improvements that make it one of the fastest single GPU video cards ever. Go ahead and review our very own TweakTown review right here.
NVIDIA says that the GK110-powered GeForce GTX 780 has 50% more memory and 50% more CUDA cores than the GeForce GTX 680, and is on average 35% faster than its predecessor. NVIDIA also launched a new real-time gaming recorder called GeForce ShadowPlay, an application that lets gamers record their gameplay in 1080p at 30 FPS.
"With more memory bandwidth, more VRAM, more CUDA Cores, and more all-round speed, the GTX 780 is the high-end GPU of choice for the next-generation of games, arriving on shop shelves this Holiday. Paired with a recent Quad Core CPU, GTX 780 owners will exceed the level of fidelity and performance seen on upcoming consoles, guaranteeing superior experiences in the coming wave of multi-platform next-gen titles, beginning with Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Watch_Dogs."

In a world and society where people, grown men most specifically can buy women, young girls, for pleasure is quite evidence that hell is and in fact been on earth for quite some time. Psychologically, who in their right mind thinks this is ok or alright to purchase people, children, and put them on the market for sale. Stealing something that is not yours, people to be exact, is insane, in humane, and downright evil. My goodness, mine, mine, is the notion, and expression that so many sane people have around the world. How can you rob children of their innocence, also robbing parents of their peace of minds and blessing of a child or children?
As the world communities pleads and strive for the release of the young girls, looking endlessly putting fort massive efforts, creating a global initiative, humanity is still at awl. Whoever you are, wherever you are, God, the same name Allah, did not tell you to kidnap our west African daughters and sisters. Once again, this all falls back on life span and development and how poor and unfortunate upbringing has lead to the type of individuals these men have become, murders, rapist, and thieves.

| ADDS - Turbulence Help
Page (2 of 2)
Back to Turbulence Page
The Graphical Turbulence Guidance (GTG-2.5) graphics are computer-generated four-dimensional forecasts of information related to the likelihood of encountering Clear-Air Turbulence (CAT) associated with upper-level fronts and jet streams, and is not intended to predict turbulence associated with convection and thunderstorm clouds or breaking mountain waves. The product provides forecasts for the 48 contiguous United States, much of Canada and Mexico, and their respective coastal waters at flight altitudes from 10,000 MSL to FL450 only, that is, it does not provide forecasts from the surface to 10,000 ft. Users should also be aware that turbulence is a highly dynamic phenomenon and in case of rapidly changing conditions the product may not accurately convey a significant hazard.
GTG-2.5 graphics may be used as a higher-resolution supplement to AIRMETs and SIGMETs, but not as a substitute for the turbulence information they provide. GTG-2.5 graphics are authorized for use as an unrestricted, supplementary weather product. The GTG-2.5 does not have the capability to be amended. See the definition of primary and supplementary weather products below.
The GTG-2.5 product consists of a 00, 01, 02, and 03 hour forecast, which are updated every hour, and a 06, 09, and 12 hour forecast, which are updated every three hours, starting at 00Z. GTG-2.5 graphics are "snapshot" graphics, intended to depict forecasted clear air turbulence conditions at the valid time (for example, at 1200Z), not for a valid time range (for example, from 1200Z to 1300Z). The GTG-2.5 graphics suite is automatically produced with no human modifications. Information on the graphics is determined from observational data, turbulence pilot reports, and automated turbulence (EDR) reports, all of which are integrated with computer forecast model output.
Due to the use of computer model output, the GTG-2.5 product issuance times are reliant upon the timing and resolution of the released underlying weather model data. GTG-2.5 uses 00, 01, 02, 03, 06, 09, and 12 hour forecast fields from the NOAA "Rapid Refresh" or "RAP" forecast model with a horizontal grid spacing of 13.5 km and 50 vertical levels. The RAP updates hourly, and the total processing time is dependant upon the amount of data in that update cycle. Due to the processing time of the model data, the GTG-2.5 will typically be released about 50 minutes after the valid time of the RAP data set. The longest update cycles occur at 00Z and 12Z due to additional RAP data ingest and processing. GTG-2.5 will normally be released 100 minutes after the valid time of the RAP data set at 00Z and 12Z. ADDS is configured so the composite graphic with the most relevant valid time should display when you initially select the GTG-2.5 product, but all graphics in the GTG-2.5 suite are available for viewing via the valid time and altitude selection interface.
To retrieve a GTG-2.5 graphic on the ADDS turbulence page, select the specific graphic from the left-side pull-down menu. The requested graphic should appear as an image embedded directly in the turbulence page. The right-side pull-down menu allows you to select a specific altitude, with a graphic every 2000 feet, starting at 11000 feet and ascending to FL450. In addition to individual altitudes, you can select a composite, maximum value of all altitudes, labeled "max." This image provides a quick overview of the national turbulence threat.
Once an altitude has been selected, the text just above the image boundary identifies the altitude, valid time of the image, and the forecast lead time. An example is shown below. As indicated in the two lines of text just above the GTG image, this is a map of expected turbulence intensities at FL270 for (valid at) 1700 UTC on 11 Apr 2012. The map is based on a 12-hour (lead time) GTG forecast initiated from a 1400 UTC on 11 Apr 2012 model output, as indicated on the right side of the first line above the image.
Fig 1: Sample GTG Graphic
The Flight Path Tool allows access to GTG turbulence data for different altitudes in 1000 foot increments, as well as vertical cross sections for a specific route, interactive overlays of additional weather data, and a closer look at specific geographic areas. An example of the use of the flight path tool is shown in the figure below. On the left are contours of "light" and "moderate" GTG values at FL300 for a 1 hr forecast valid at 16UTC 19 Oct 2009. A flight path has been selected (indicated by the black line) from the Portland OR area to the Billings, MT area. The right image is a vertical cross section showing the GTG values at this same time along the designated flight path. According to GTG, "light" intensity clear-air turbulence could be expected eastward from eastern OR at this altitude and "moderate" clear-air turbulence could be expected near the OR-ID border and again over western MT. The moderate turbulence areas could be avoided by descending to FL200 in those areas. Note that GTG does not predict values below 10,000 ft MSL on the cross section.
Fig 2: Flight Path Tool depictions of GTG2.5 Turbulence in plan view and cross section
All graphics display atmospheric turbulence severity in three categories: none, light, moderate or greater (including severe and extreme). These are actually EDR (=ε1/3 where ε is the eddy dissipation rate in units of m2/s3) values in the ranges (0-0.14, 0.15-0.30, > 0.31), respectively. The display colors range from white for none, green for light, orange for moderate or greater. Users should always keep in mind that the three levels of turbulence severity depicted on the GTG graphic are general terms that are not specific to any particular type of aircraft and are only intended to depict general turbulence conditions for supplementing flight planning and situational awareness. The turbulence categories displayed are representative for commercial air carriers of the large (41,000-255,000 lbs maximum takeoff wt.) and heavy (weight > 255,000 lbs maximum takeoff wt.) weight classes. With this in mind users should scale the depicted turbulence levels up or down depending on the weight and airspeed of their particular aircraft relative to a large category aircraft in cruise.
The display can be manipulated using either the arrows or the pull down menu. The up and down arrows link to graphics for higher and lower altitudes, and the right and left arrows link to graphics for earlier and later valid times.
The GTG algorithm uses forecast fields from the RAP gridded aviation forecast model (Benjamin et al. 2006) distributed by the National Weather Service's National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). Every hour, several turbulence diagnostics (listed below) are computed from the RAP-2 forecast output. An explanation of the algorithms and the GTG formulation can be found in Sharman et al. (2006). Basically, the algorithm combines the results of several turbulence diagnostics (listed below) and weights the diagnostics based on comparisons to observations (i.e. Pilot Reports (PIREPs) or in situ EDR data). The algorithm results are interpolated to flight levels (FLs) from the native RAP grid and are then mapped to the EDR turbulence intensity scale given above.
While tuning to observations it should be remembered that PIREPs in particular are a subjective measure of the affect of atmospheric turbulence on an aircraft and have inherent uncertainties in time and location which are further discussed in Schwartz (1996). However, GTG2.5 also makes heavy use of automated in situ eddy dissipation rate (EDR) reports (Cornman 1995). Because of the high frequency of reporting, the in situ data provide a much denser set of observations when compared to PIREPs. However, it is still a problem to get turbulence observations during the overnight hours when air traffic is at a minimum. Therefore GTG forecasts initialized at night tend to have larger forecast errors than those initialized during the day.
The GTG mid-level forecasts between 10,000 feet MSL and FL200 are blended with the upper-level forecasts near the intersection at FL200. The indices used for the mid-level forecasts are different from those used at upper-levels due to different atmospheric processes attributing to the turbulence production at these different altitude bands. GTG outputs grids on 36 flight levels separated by 1000 feet intervals, regardless of the altitude. A flight level is a constant pressure surface referenced to a world-wide sea level pressure datam (1013.25 hPa). Thus the flight level is referenced to a standard atmosphere; and the actual altitude and flight level will not generally be the same, although typically the difference is small. Flight levels are a convenient way to insure adequate vertical spacing at altitudes above all terrain. At lower altitudes, terrain avoidance is of primary concern and flight altitudes are typically defined as MSL altitude. In the US & Canada the transition altitude (to the flight level regime) was set at 18,000 feet, while in Europe and other parts of the world it is implemented based on terrain height surrounding the airport, or on the runway elevation. The GTG reports all forecasts on flight levels both above and below the transition altitude of 18,000 MSL with the understanding that the difference between flight level and actual MSL altitude is small.
At upper-levels, the following 9 turbulence diagnostics are used within the GTG-2.5 combination (see Sharman (2006) for an explanation of each index):
At mid-levels, the following 10 indices are used:
The GTG2.5 results are shown on the ADDS displays as contour maps of predicted CAT intensity (null, light, moderate or greater). The values depicted are in terms of EDR(=ε1/3 where ε is the eddy dissipation rate in units of m2/s3) and can be interpreted roughly as follows (for large-heavy aircraft):

Review, 5-12: Boys will be Homo-erotic
Slip Slidin' Away with Earthfall
By Josephine
Copyright 2006 Josephine Leask
LONDON -- As I enter
the normally hot theater at the Place on a warm evening (this past
Wednesday), the sound of dripping water and a pleasant coolness
emanates from the stage situated below the audience, on which has
been built a huge water installation for the Welsh company Earthfall's
very aquatic production "At Swim, Two Boys." It consists of a large
wall of corrugated iron, down which water cascades onto a smaller
surface, essentially a watery, half-foot deep paddling pool of a
small stage installed on the larger stage. An impressive multipurpose
structure, the wall also serves as a film screen and a climbing
frame for the dancers.
"At Swim, Two Boys"
looks like it's going to be a slick piece of dance theater; an impressive
sound score played by two live musicians, Roger Mills and Frank
Naughton, adrenalin pumping and athletically virtuosic choreography
performed by outstanding dancers, Terry Michael and Stuart Bowden,
and a strong visual setting are strong, striking components in the
work. The piece is loosely based on Jamie O'Neill's novel, "At Swim,
Two Boys," which concerns the growing love between two teenage boys,
set against the backdrop of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland --
in the news again this year on its 80th anniversary -- and the developing
war in Europe. The Easter Rising, a revolt conducted by a few Republicans
and Sinn Fein partisans against British rule, resulted in a ridiculous
loss of life, as did the ensuing first World War. Rather than pursue
overtly political themes, this dance piece aims to expose the covert
ramifications of love between two opposing factions, in this case
the love between a Catholic and a Protestant. While the Easter Rising
and the war are suggested by some film footage of both and the odd
bit of spoken text in the sound track, what is really explored is
the relationship between the boys, much of which happens on their
swimming adventures on the Irish coast.
And boy, is the result
one huge wet homo-erotic experience! Once this is established, none
of the other thematic strands are really pursued in any detail.
It is a feast for gay male eyes: two boys at their sexual peak,
water, dripping clinging clothes, testosterone fueled movements,
guns, urgent thrusting body contact, and loud, pounding thrash music.
Although some of the
potentially more interesting material is not explored, the performers
nevertheless are amazing to watch on their watery stage. All their
movements -- rolling, sliding, jumping, lifts -- are conducted in
about a foot of water, so they have the added weight and discomfort
of drenched clothes and shoes, plus a nerve-rackingly slippery surface
to negotiate. They are both so on top of the physically demanding,
risk-taking choreography, that it makes you forget how difficult
it must be to perform in water.
It is clever, too, how
the performers manage to translate through dynamics and gesture
the explosive hormones of teenage boys, the tentativeness, the holding
back and then the clumsy letting go, as they skillfully develop
their relationship and act out their nervous mutual passions. While
there is very little stillness within the work, there are subtler,
more sensitive moments, including a section in which the dancers
strip down to underpants to suggest a swimming adventure, after
which they sit peacefully beside each other and reflectively look
out to sea. This is one of the more touching and meaningful breaks,
as afterwards the piece returns to thrash and crash and a rather
cliched finale, in which the boy turned soldier is shot by his Catholic
I can understand why
"At Swim, Two Boys" is an award-winning physical theater piece as
it is arresting and impact making, but I feel that the potential
within the work is just not milked and various themes are not explored
with enough integrity and texture. While the movement is sensational,
we have seen it all before in the early work of DV8 Physical Theatre
and in the 'Euro crash' of Belgian choreographer Wim Vandekeybus.

The first of two scheduled preliminary hearings for Timmy Keown was held in Morgantown the morning of Dec. 27.
He faces charges for possession of meth, possession of precursors to meth, and second degree wanton endangerment.
The hearing also shed new light on accusations by Morgantown resident Sheena Embry that she witnessed Keown murder an unidentified girl and dispose of the body.
Morgantown Police Chief Billy Phelps took the stand at the Butler County courthouse for Timmy Keown's preliminary hearing.
He says Sheena Embry admits buying supplies for making meth with Keown, but says Embry claims she does not remember taking any drugs or the name of the girl she says Keown murdered in an apartment above a Morgantown dry cleaners.
But according to Embry, she does remember what happened.
"They carried her down to the car, drove down to the river, a few feet onto the boat ramp, and pushed her out into the water," explained Chief Phelps, recalling Embry's account.
Police found Embry injured and covered in blood December 10. Chief
Phelps says details of the alleged murder didn't come out until about two days after Embry left the hospital and had time to speak with her therapist.
"This isn't something I would think anyone would do, especially in a small town like this," says Embry. "I've only had brief encounters with him. He's never given me the slightest inclination he'd do something like this."
Keown is being held in Butler County where he says he's not guilty of the charges.
"They did have polygraph tests, Mr. Keown become uncooperative in his, so his was ended by the polygraph specialist. Mrs. Embry completed her test, it's inconclusive," Chief Phelps adds.
Last week, the Butler County Rescue Squad searched the Green River, but Chief Phelps says with neither a name for a victim or a missing persons report, the searching has stopped.
"We did an initial search of the boat ramp because we had statements saying we needed to, and we did. We found nothing," Chief Phelps says. "As far as that's concerned, we're not going to go further with it, until more information becomes available."
Chief Phelps says results of a blood test conducted in the apartment Embry was found in are expected in three weeks. He says that should prove whether a second person was in the apartment on the night in question.
An analysis of Embry's blood has been done to see if she was on drugs at the time she claims this incident happened.
Meanwhile, Timmy Keown is being held on a one hundred thousand dollar cash bond.
His preliminary hearing on charges of tampering with physical evidence and first degree rape is scheduled for Jan 4.

It's pink and formed naturally within the earth, so why don't more people use it? Pink Himalayan Salt is spirit medicine as well as body medicine. Avoiding salt is misinformation there have been attempts to get the public to avoid salt for years as unnecessary in our life. With most of the sea salt producers also refining the native beauty of the sea, it's not as healthy as it used to be.
The reality is the processed and manufactured salt in artificial flavorings in manufactured foods is the death of the public, not natural salt. It's the excessive heating of this natural wonder that does the damage. Sodium chloride is what's left over after the natural salt is cleaned and heated, something completely foreign to the body. This type of "salt" is in almost everything we eat, and it is this product that is detrimental to the health of the human body.
- It tends our soul's wounds The divine substance is a major rub used for centuries that also promotes health pre-refrigeration. It's vital for our: nervous system and brain function,
- adrenals,
- digestion,
- regulates pH balance and the body's water table,
- supports respiratory health,
- sinus health,
- prevents muscle cramps,
- promotes bone strength,
- regulates and promotes natural sleep,
- supports libido,
- promotes vascular health.
The sweet-salt goodness Pink Himalayan salt is loaded with 84 essential minerals from the earth the body so badly needs. When you eat regular table salt you are doing your body no good. Pink Himalayan Salt is stored under tectonic pressure for 250 million years. It is hand-mined and hand-washed and the highest grade of natural salt. The pink salt itself is immune to electromagnetic fields.

But now more than ever, I apply the life-is-too-short test: Would I rather be home getting work done, drinking my own coffee, reading a book or watching Hardball than having breakfast, lunch, or dinner with this person?Experience has identified and jelled another inclination, and that is honest self-assessment of my dependability. For example, phone calls come in from various national charities, asking not for my money but for my time. Will I address envelopes and deliver them to my neighbors on — the caller pauses, checks her list — "Winterberry Lane?" I used to say yes. Now I say, "I'm a very bad candidate for this. I'm not reliable. You'd send me the envelopes, and they would just sit in a pile of mail. Really, you could do much better."A disclaimer: I still do say yes a lot. There's nothing better than a night out with good friends involving good food. Only a bona fide conflict would keep me home from dinner with my nearest and dearest. A prime example of that would be any social summons from our son, now 24, whether he's coming East or we're crossing the country to visit him.Not quite as tempting are certain professional obligations. Because my first novel came out 16 years ago — coincidentally, the same year I turned 40 — I've had a long time to sniff out what may be the less-desirable venues, which is to say the readings where nobody comes and/or the attendees aren't — as my late mother would say — from the book buyers. When invited to those events where I would be a keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the Friends of Any Given Library or X Worthwhile Charity, I have learned to ask, "Would it be all right if I arrive after the, um, business items?"Experience has taught me that I am not always interested in the raffle of items donated by local merchants, or last year's minutes, or this year's awards and thank-you gifts to the hardest-working cochairs without whom…, and so on. Accordingly, I inquire in advance, "Your event begins at seven o'clock? And what time, might I ask, would I actually be needed?"I don't want to be seen as a diva and certainly want to be a trouper on behalf of my publisher and our mutual wares. More social algebra: Will I flop, or will I draw a crowd? What if I say no and I'm wrong? Can I ever really be sure what to accept and what to decline? Yes, if I've done the event in the past and know it's a dog. Take the pre-Christmas bookstore sale-a-thon where at least 10 authors sit with their works, thereby encouraging customers to confuse the event with a crafts fair. They browse; they pick up your book, turn it over, read the flap, compare the photo to the live person in front of them, smile weakly — then move on to the best-selling author two chairs down. The first time I attended, I consoled myself that there was a payoff: the deli downstairs had corned beef and chopped liver and really good pickles. Second year, I brought my knitting; the same year I noticed that the paperbacks piled at my station had been signed by me at the first author-thon. Third year, I declined, and I told the truth: too many authors, not enough customers, snow predicted.Sending Regrets and Not Regretting ItA fellow author tells me that I once intoned, "You never regret saying no." She reminded me of this recently when I told her I'd accepted an invitation to keynote a writing retreat in New Hampshire and to stay for two nights."I'm surprised you said yes," she scolded. "In fact, I keep your advice on a note by my computer: 'You never regret saying no.'" "There was a clincher," I told her.She waited."They're sending a car to get me. And it's at a spa.""Got it," she answered.As I'm turning someone down, the good girl inside me winces. But almost immediately after I've uttered, "I'd love to, but…," I feel relief — and something akin to backbone. Ahead of me lies one less obligation, one less sticky note on my screen saver, one less trip to plot on MapQuest. My calendar thanks me: A blank day means I write all morning in my pajamas, savoring the dividend of calling my time my own.I have a companion quirk to the saying of no: I must explain why I'm turning down an invitation. I always respond with an excellent reason, fiction or nonfiction, and I ask the same in return.
