What is this kind of pipe?
Drill pipe has the features of being thin-walled, hollow, also made of steel piping and more often utilized for drilling rigs, as well with, horizontal drilling. The facilitation of the process in drilling does come in a number of variations in terms of strength, sizes and with the weight too. These pipes are created to be hollow in order for the drilling fluid be allowed to pumped through the pipes, and then down to the hole, and finally to go back up to the annulus.
Types of Pipes for Drilling
Of course, there will be different types of drill pipe to be able to accommodate the diversities in usage when it comes to the drilling process. The standard types are having the topographies of obtaining long tubular sections, and this often makes up the preponderance of the drilling string. The measurements are known to be 31 ft. long, and yet, could also be from 18 up to 45 feet when it comes to its length.
There are also heavyweight drilling pipes or HWDP that has the capacity to add weight or to be able to act as an effective transitional piece when it is inside the drilling string. Due to its heaviness, the drilling string is weight down and reduces any kind of fatigue failures.
There are another component and selection that's used for drilling, and these are the drilling collars and marks up the portion of the BHA. Expect these to be heavier, to also have thicker walls, and are known to be rigid in comparison to other drilling pipes. The drilling collars are utilized to put weight on the drill in order to diminish vibration and influence forces.

Expected to be subservient first as slaves and then as second-class freedmen, African-Americans spent generations expecting neither legal justice nor fair treatment from law enforcement. In this provocative book, Johnson (Firearms Law and the Second Amendment), a legal expert on gun issues, agrees with Ida B. Wells and Frederick Douglass that gun ownership for blacks helped level the disparity between races, allowing both men and women to protect themselves from being returned to slavery or becoming the next lynching victims while also allowing some to work as Buffalo soldiers or as cowboys. Johnson notes that the presence of guns sometimes unwittingly escalated violence, and he devotes a brief chapter to modern black-on-black violence, the result of a strain of historical gun ownership evolving into a "criminal microculture." Filled with tightly packed, well-documented anecdotes—with some of the best centering on women such as "Black Mary" Fields, who worked for nuns and successfully dueled with a white man in front of them—this book redefines the image of black Americans who chose a strong, spirited fight for self-preservation.

Chronicling the underappreciated black tradition of bearing arms for self-defense, this book presents an array of examples reaching back to the pre—Civil War era that demonstrate a willingness of African American men and women to use firearms when necessary to defend their families and communities. From Frederick Douglass's advice to keep "a good revolver" handy as defense against slave catchers to the armed self-protection of Monroe, North Carolina, blacks against the KKK chronicled in Robert Williams's Negroes with Guns, it is clear that owning firearms was commonplace in the black community.
Nicholas Johnson points out that this story has been submerged because it is hard to reconcile with the dominant narrative of nonviolence during the civil rights era. His book, however, resolves that tension by showing how the black tradition of arms maintained and demanded a critical distinction between private self-defense and political violence.
Johnson also addresses the unavoidable issue of young black men with guns and the toll that gun violence takes on many in the inner city. He shows how complicated this issue is by highlighting the surprising diversity of views on gun ownership in the black community. In fact, recent Supreme Court affirmations of the right to bear arms resulted from cases led by black plaintiffs.
Surprising and informative, this well-researched book strips away many stock assumptions of conventional wisdom on the issue of guns and the black freedom struggle.

—Adam Winkler, professor of law, UCLA School of Law, author of Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America
"With Negroes and the Gun, Nicholas Johnson has provided a definitive and compelling history of the importance of arms for a people who have not been able to rely on the state for protection. This is must-reading for those who are interested in the history of race in America and in the enduring controversy over the right to bear arms."
—Robert J. Cottrol, Harold Paul Green Research Professor of Law and professor of history and sociology, the George Washington University, and author of The Long, Lingering Shadow: Slavery, Race, and Law in the American Hemisphere
"Race has always been part of the unspoken motive for gun control in the United States. Johnson provides the best, most thorough history of the topic, telling the story mainly from the perspective and voices of blacks themselves. Shattering the myth of black passivity in the face of violent racism, the book is full of inspiring stories of genuine American heroes—some of them famous and many who were not—who used their Second Amendment rights to defend the civil rights of their people. Never shying away from the hardest questions, Johnson addresses the moral and practical complexities of armed self-defense, past and present. A major contribution to cultural studies and to the history of race in America."
—David B. Kopel, research director, Independence Institute, Denver, Colorado
"Johnson opens a window on the increasingly airless and ever more heated dispute over the Second Amendment by examining blacks' ambiguous relationship with guns over the centuries. He demonstrates that the right to armed self-defense was critical to saving black lives and livelihoods when confronted by violent hostility. This remarkable book remembers for us a long-forgotten, or possibly selectively forgotten, black tradition of arms—one too often overlooked in current debates over civil rights and gun legislation."
—Alexander Rose, author of American Rifle: A Biography
"A fascinating and subtle history of the black tradition of armed self-defense. Carefully weaving social with political history from slave times to the present, Johnson explores the complex relation between this legitimate tradition and the occasional fruitless temptation of armed political resistance to oppression. He concludes with a strong argument for restoring the legitimate tradition even in the face of its rejection by the black political establishment and the inescapable reality that blacks are very disproportionately found among the perpetrators and victims of gun violence today. Provocative and illuminating."
—Nelson Lund, University Professor, George Mason University School of Law

Robert Williams returned home from the army in the spring of 1946 to the same bitter irony that had confronted countless black veterans before him. They shed blood to protect democracy abroad, and bled again under racial apartheid at home.
Monroe, North Carolina, remained much the same as when Williams was a boy and witnessed a scene of petty brutality that confirmed what it meant to be on the wrong side of the color line. Turning the corner toward the courthouse, he stepped into the scene of a burly white cop arresting a woman in a fashion that captured the status of Negroes across the South. The man with a badge was "Big Jesse" Helms Sr., father of the future United States senator. For the rest of his life, Williams carried the image of Big Jesse flattening that woman with a sock to the jaw, and then dragging her off to jail with her dress up over her head and screaming as the concrete singed her back and thighs. As an old man, Williams the revolutionary—leaning on a cane, sporting a big, grey afro—would talk like it was yesterday about the laughter of the white bystanders and how the cluster of black courthouse loiterers hung their heads and scurried away.
The courthouse loiterers represented a particular stripe of man. Some would say that Robert Williams was a different kind of man. Maybe so. But more important is that Robert Williams was not alone. He is an exemplar, but he was not unusual. He was part of a long tradition of black men and women who thought it just and natural to answer aggression with corresponding force. They kept and carried guns and believed in self-defense as a fundamental right. Their story is obscured by the popular narrative of the nonviolent civil-rights movement. But alongside that narrative, deep in the culture, is a rich vein of grit and steel. Robert Williams was heir to that tradition. His bloodline was thick with it.
Williams's early experiences confirmed the privilege of white skin, but that did not cow him. Even though his people were no match for the power of the state and the culture of Jim Crow, when pushed to the wall, they bucked up and fought back. There is a hint of this in the Williams clan back as far as grandfather Sikes. Over the course of his life, Sikes Williams was a slave, a farmer, a reconstruction newspaper editor, a perpetual optimist, and finally, always, a realist. In the middle of a hostile environment, with powerful reasons to despair, Sikes Williams worked hard and hoped for the best for himself and his family. He also understood his responsibility in that moment where his next breath or the safety of those he loved was threatened by imminent violence. One of Robert's prized possessions was a rifle that, according to family lore, had been used by Sikes Williams in matters of life or death.
Grandpa Sikes was a hero of Robert's imagination. But the firsthand confirmation of the Williams family backbone came in another childhood episode, when word spread that a mob was forming to lynch a Negro who had fought with police. Rumor circulated that in addition to dragging the man from his cell for a hanging or burning, the mob also was planning to run some black folk out of town. The old people, and some young ones, who had witnessed the terror of the lynch mob, hid or prepared to flee.
Williams's father, "Daddy John" heard the rumors too. But when it was time to head out for work on the graveyard shift at the mill, he picked up his lunch pail and left the house as usual. The only difference this time was, before stepping out the door, he slipped a pistol into the pocket of his overalls. Fortunately, neither the lynching nor the chasing came that night. But Robert never forgot his father's steel in that environment of fear and carried with him the image of that pistol, slipped quietly into the overalls pocket of a man who was not looking for trouble.
Later, when Robert Williams became an inflammatory figure, white people would say he should be more like his father, someone they considered a good Negro who kept his place. Robert knew the only difference between them was that Daddy John had the luck never to face a threat that would have turned him into a bad Negro with a gun. While the casual observer might take his kindness for weakness, even as an old man, Daddy John thanked his luck and still prepared for the worst. "Always the shotgun was there," Robert remembered, "it was always loaded and it was always at the door. And that was the tradition."
Robert Williams was honorably discharged from the service, but only barely so. He served at least one stint in the brig for insubordination, or, in his words, "refusing to be a nigger." Back home, he faced a similar problem. Monroe in 1946 was Klan territory. And it was not long before the insubordinate soldier was in conflict with the Invisible Empire.
Bennie Montgomery was Williams's childhood friend. Bennie was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge and discharged with a metal plate in his head. He was never really the same after that. Out of the service, Bennie cycled quickly back to his ordained place in the Jim Crow South—into the fields, chopping and shoveling. Home only a few months, he got into a scrap with his white employer. With the pleasures of Saturday night on his mind, Bennie approached the boss around noon and asked for his wages. Workers were always paid at the end of the day, and Bennie knew it. The boss rewarded his impudence with a slap and a kick. They tussled. By the end of it, Bennie had pulled a knife and killed the man. Later, police found Bennie, still in bloody clothes, drinking beer at a local dive, just sitting there like nothing had happened.
The Klan threatened to lynch Bennie. So the authorities moved him from Monroe. He was quickly convicted of murder and executed. But the execution of Bennie Montgomery did not satisfy the Klan. When the state shipped his body back home for burial, the Klan proclaimed that the remains belonged to them. They planned to drag Bennie's body through the streets.
Before that could happen, the black men of the community met at a barbershop and worked up a plan. By the time the Klan motorcade reached the Harris Funeral Home to seize Bennie's body, forty black men with rifles and shotguns were already in place, hidden where the cover allowed. The motorcade stopped. The black men showed themselves and leveled their guns. Unprepared for a real fight, the Klansmen drove away and Bennie got a civilized burial.
Robert Williams was one of the men who drew down on the Klan that night. That same year across the South, black veterans marched and protested and armed themselves against reprisals in Birmingham, Alabama; Decatur, Mississippi; and Durham, North Carolina. Among these men was a young Medgar Evers, home from the army and pressed to the edge of an armed confrontation at the Decatur courthouse, where a mob rose against his attempt to register to vote. Robert Williams was not alone.
Monroe had a slippery hold on Williams. After marrying Mabel and seeing his first son born, he ranged north to Detroit for work on the assembly lines. But almost as soon as he was gone, he talked of returning home. By 1950, he had moved the family back south and enrolled under the GI Bill in the North Carolina College for Negroes in Durham. He wanted to be a writer. A year before finishing, with his government money spent, Williams moved north again for work. He and Mabel sublet a little apartment on Eighty-Eighth Street, in New York City. The building was not generally available to blacks, but the Williamses got in through some radical unionist friends Robert had met at work. The white neighbors were less enlightened than Williams's progressive coworkers. Retreating from the hostility, Mabel stayed in the apartment most of the time. She kept a 9-millimeter pistol close by. It was not a place to make a home, and the Williamses soon left, with Robert chasing work wherever there was promise or rumor of it.
In 1954, induced by promises of training in radio and journalism, Williams enlisted in the Marine Corps. Posted at Camp Pendleton, California, he was promptly installed as a supply sergeant. The promise of training in journalism evaporated with the explanation that blacks did not work in the Information Services. Angry and defiant, Williams fired off missives to Congress complaining about the bait and switch. Then he sent a nasty letter and a telegram to President Eisenhower, threatening to renounce his US citizenship in protest of his mistreatment. This ultimately was enough to earn him a dishonorable discharge from the Marines and a train ticket back to Monroe.
Despite Williams's immediate circumstances, the outlook actually was brightening for blacks in 1954. The United States Supreme Court had ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional. But it would take far more than a Supreme Court opinion to kill off Jim Crow. White opposition to Brown was deep and often vicious. North Carolina governor Luther Hodges, immediately went nuclear, fulminating about black and white amalgamation. State government bureaucrats schemed to maintain de facto segregation. In Monroe, the white reaction against those who aimed to live the message of Brown ran from veiled warnings to economic reprisals, to threats and acts of violence.
In 1956, the Klan held a huge rally, led by Reverend James "Catfish" Cole, a tent evangelist and carnival barker from South Carolina. Cole stirred up support through a series of rallies, some drawing more than fifteen thousand people. In the space of a few months, two murders, a cross burning, and dynamite attacks were attributed to the Klan. The combination of economic pressure and violence dampened local enthusiasm for the NAACP's efforts to press enforcement of Brown.
When Robert Williams joined the Monroe NAACP, membership was down to six, and the chapter was ready to disband. Fearing economic sanctions as well as Klan violence, the comparatively middle-class folk who had run the branch handed Williams the presidency and soon abandoned the organization. Set adrift by the cautious strivers, Williams recruited new members from people who had been ignored by the clique of black bourgeoisie. He went to the pool halls, the street corners, and the tenant farms, and to the black veterans, some of them comrades in the 1947 defense of Bennie Montgomery's remains. Within two years, Williams would grow the Monroe branch from basically just him, to more than three hundred members.
One of Williams's first controversial acts as chapter president came after a young black boy drowned at a local swimming hole. Monroe had a pool for whites. It was built with public money but excluded blacks, who were relegated to ponds, lakes, or old quarries. Every summer black children drowned in these makeshift swimming holes. The Monroe Parks Commission briefly considered granting black kids one or two days a week to swim. But that was deemed too expensive because of the need to change the pool water after Negroes used it. When Williams and his allies continued to press the issue, including one encounter where he brandished a pistol to escape a threatening crowd of counter-protesters, whites circulated a petition asking that "local Negro integrationists especially Williams and NAACP Vice President, Dr. Albert Perry, be forced to leave Monroe."
The petition was at least nominally democratic compared to the work of Klan potentate Catfish Cole. Cole whipped up sympathetic crowds screeching that "a Nigger who wants to go to a white swimming pool is not looking for a bath. He is looking for a funeral." Cole held five rallies over as many weeks. At the end of each one, the Klan drove through Monroe's black section, blaring horns, throwing debris, and shooting into the air. At the head of these drives was Monroe Police chief, A. A. Mauney, who described them as "motorcades" that he led simply to keep order. On at least one occasion, members of the motorcade fired shots into Dr. Albert Perry's home. Williams complained and requested intervention from the mayor and the governor and with notable persistence sent another letter to President Eisenhower. The only evident response was from local politicians who explained that the Ku Klux Klan had a right to meet and organize, same as the NAACP.
Around the same time, the death threats started. The main targets were Williams and Dr. Perry. Williams began wearing a Colt .45 caliber automatic pistol wherever he went. The gun was familiar, identical to the US Army Model 1911 sidearm. Surplus Colts were widely available in the civilian market and sometimes sold through the US government's Civilian Marksmanship Program, administered by the National Rifle Association, which Williams promptly joined. Williams carried the big gun in a hip holster, "cocked and locked," the hammer clicked back (some would say menacingly), so with a quick swipe of thumb safety, the gun would fire eight fat 230 grain slugs as fast as he could press the trigger.
Williams carried the .45 out of legitimate fear of attack, but it was still an inflammatory act. Up to that point, the Monroe NAACP had enjoyed a smattering of support from progressive whites. That support had faded when Williams pushed the swimming-pool issue. It ended entirely when he began wearing the Colt.
Although Williams was president of the Monroe chapter, many whites felt that the vice president, Dr. Albert Perry, was the greater threat. He was comparatively affluent, and many suspected he was the group's primary financial backer. Unlike many middle-class black folk, Perry was relatively immune from white economic pressure.
One night, Perry's wife interrupted a chapter meeting with a panicked call. They had received another death threat. She knew about the earlier threats, of course. But this was the first time she had answered the phone herself and heard a voice dripping with venom say we are going to kill you.
Dr. Perry rushed home. The rest of the men disbanded the meeting, retrieved their guns, and went to guard Perry's house. They camped that night in his garage, some sitting up in folding chairs with shotguns and rifles across their laps, others standing watch and napping on cots, with rifles and shotguns stacked nearby. They soon determined that the threat was too serious for such ad hoc measures and developed an organized system of rotating guards. Off and on, more than sixty of them guarded the Perrys in shifts.
In October 1957, Catfish Cole held another big Klan rally in Monroe, followed by the traditional motorcade. The destination was Dr. Albert Perry's house. As they approached, some of the hooded revelers fired shots at Perry's neat brick split-level. They were surprised at the response. Anticipating the threat, Williams and the black men of Monroe fired back from behind sandbags and covered positions. One account puts it this way:
It was just another good time Klan night, the high point of which would come when they dragged Dr. Perry over the state line if they did not hang him or burn him first. But near Dr. Perry's home their revelry was suddenly shattered by the sustained fire of scores of men who had been instructed not to kill anyone if it were not necessary. The firing was blistering, disciplined and frightening. The motorcade of about eighty cars, which had begun in a spirit of good fellowship, disintegrated into chaos, with panicky, robed men fleeing in every direction. Some abandoned their automobiles and had to continue on foot.
Maybe exaggerated in memory, another defender recalled, "When we started firing, they run. We run them out and they started crying and going on.... The Klans was low-down people that would do dirty things. But they found out that you would do dirty things too, then they'd let you alone. [They] didn't have the stomach for this type of fight. They stopped raiding our community." In the aftermath, the local press was actually critical of the Klan, attributing the incident significantly to the provocative motorcade. The city council agreed. In an emergency meeting, it passed an ordinance banning KKK motorcades. Outside Monroe, however, the defiance of Williams and his neighbors prompted sympathetic responses like the $260 contribution from a congregation in Harlem to purchase rifles and requests from other communities for help in setting up black rifle clubs.
This was a time of tremendous stress for Williams. His financial situation was precarious. White employers or lenders often tightened the screws on blacks who pressed the civil-rights agenda. At least partly due to his activism, Williams had difficulty finding and keeping work. His frustration is evident in an article he wrote for the newsletter, the Crusader. He disdained "Big cars, fine clothes, big houses and college degrees." Manhood, Williams claimed, was more elemental. It meant standing up and taking care of people who depended on you.

A very different side of the Civil Rights movement A side of the history of blacks in America I hadn't known. Mr. Johnson's scholarship covers from the beginning of American history to modern day, though naturally it only concerns itself with the focal points of black gun rights along the way. Discussing the origins of "successful" gun control in Jim Crow laws, the unjust treatment of black men and women who chose to defend their lives and families with firearms, and where their rights were upheld. A very unique perspective, one I had not known.
This is a must read for all African Americans living in the United States and other parts of the world. Nicholas Johnson has done a great job on this book. He explains how African Americans use the power of the gun to protect and defend themselves during racism in America and around the world. I highly recommend this book for all to read. William B.

I'm parsing an external HTML page with Nokogiri. That page is encoded with ISO-8859-1. Part of the data I want to extract, contains some – (dash) html entities:
xml = Nokogiri.HTML(open("http://flybynight.com.br/agenda.php"), nil, 'ISO-8859-1')
f = xml.xpath("//div[@style='background-color:#D9DBD9; padding:15px 12px 10px 10px;']//div[@class='tit_inter_cnz']/text()")
f[0].text #=> Preview M/E/C/A \u0096 John Digweed
In the last line, the String should be rendered on the browser with a dash. The browser correctly renders it if I specify my page as ISO-8859-1 encoding, however, my Sinatra app uses UTF-8. How can I correctly display that text in the browser? Today is is being displayed as a square with a small number inside. I tried force_encoding('ISO-8859-1'), but then I get a CompatibilityError from Sinatra.
Any clues?
[Edit] Below are screenshots of the app:
-> Firefox with character encoding UTF-8
-> [Firefox with character encoding Western (ISO-8859-1)
It's worth mentioning that in the ISO-8859-1 mode above, the dash is shown correctly, but there is another incorrect character with it just before the dash. Weird :(

News City Attorney Seeks to Broaden Obstruction Laws
posted by June 25 at 12:22 PMon
Last week, I wrote about how the City Attorney's office handles obstruction charges, often filing cases under a broader state statutewhich some defense attorneys believe makes it easier for the city to score convictionsrather than an existing city law.
Now, City Attorney Tom Carr and City Council Member Tim Burgessa former Seattle Police officerare looking at making changes to the city obstruction law, to more closely mirror the state statute.
In the state law, obstruction is vaguely defined as ""willfully hinder[ing], delay[ing], or obstruct[ing]" an officer, and does not contain language included in the the city law, which protects people from obstruction convictions that stem from officer misconduct.
Read on for the proposed amendment:
Apologies for all the legalese.
A. A person is guilty of obstructing a public officer if, with knowledge that the person obstructed is a public officer, he or she:
1. Intentionally and physically interferes with a public officer; or
2. Intentionally disobeys hinders or delays a public officer by disobeying an order to stop given by such officer; or
3. Intentionally refuses to cease an activity or behavior that creates a risk of injury to any person when ordered to do so by a public officer; or
4. Intentionally destroys, conceals or alters or attempts to destroy, conceal or alter any material which he or she knows the public officer is attempting to obtain, secure or preserve during an investigation, search or arrest; or
5. Intentionally refuses to leave the scene of an investigation of a crime while an investigation is in progress after being requested to leave by a public officer; or
6. Intentionally hinders, delays or obstructs a public officer in the discharge of his or her official powers or duties
The city's current obstruction law doesn't include the vague "hinders, delays or obstructs" language, the addition of which could increase the number of cases the city files and wins.
Of the 256 stand-alone obstruction cases the city has filed since January 2007, 106 were prosecuted under the broader state law. The city also dropped 75* obstruction charges in 2007.
While the language in the city law protecting people from bogus obstruction charges will likely remain intact, public defenders are currently working with the city to more clearly define "hinders, delays or obstructs."
Burgess's public safety committee should be passing the law change on to the full council in early July.
(*This number could be higher, but the city attorney's office apparently doesn't keep detailed records on the cases they decline to file.)

George Divoky's Planet
Published: January 6, 2002
(Page 4 of 13)
To start his field season, George usually snowmobiles to Cooper over the frozen lagoon, as we planned to do two days after our arrival in Barrow. By mid-June, however, the lagoon ice starts to break up and Cooper begins to resemble an island with water lapping at its shores. For the remainder of the summer George is dependent on some kind of air transport for travel and resupply. The phrase ''air transport,'' with its connotations of scheduled departures and uniformed pilots, is misleading. George has built what he proudly refers to as a landing strip on Cooper, intended for small propeller planes equipped with tundra tires. In point of fact, it's a clearing in the gravel with two automobile tires to indicate the start and two crossed, wooden boards marking the end. And unless the plane is a ''tail dragger,'' the soft gravel will make it land nose first into the ground. ''Every time I walk back to camp, I drag my boots over my landing strip,'' George says. ''Do that for 20 years, and you have a nice place to land a plane.''
The first time George flew by small plane to Alaska, in 1972, he was traveling with three other biologists; within four years all had died in separate plane accidents. Of the 25 bush pilots who have flown him to and from Cooper over the years, five are no longer alive. Nonetheless, George remains sanguine about the perils of flying, often with some odd pilots at the controls. He has flown with the foolish (a pilot who took off with a chipped propeller after trying to fix it with a nail file), and he has flown with the idiotic (a pilot who refused to turn back when propane started leaking into the cabin). And once he planned to fly back to Barrow with a pilot who couldn't find the island beneath a 50-foot cloud bank and zoomed back and forth while George, on the ground, used his radio to guide him. (''You're to the north. . . . Now you're too far south. . . . O.K., now you're right above me!'') The only way George refuses to travel is by boat, ever since he was coming back from Cooper on a windy day and his 12-foot Boston whaler took in volumes of spray over the bow. While George bailed furiously, he and the captain watched the outboard motor slip right off the stern and sink to the bottom of the lagoon. Eventually they were towed to shore by Barrow Search and Rescue. ''I'm ready to have X number of minutes of terror if a plane goes down,'' George says, ''but just the thought of going in that water -- it's 33 degrees. It's a toxic substance. It might as well be an acid bath.''
My appreciation for George's fortitude only grew as I tried, while still in Barrow, to arrange a return flight from Cooper in two weeks' time. I called the local air-charter service that used to perform beach landings with a Cessna 185, but a pilot there told me they had suspended off-runway landings ''after we rolled that plane up into an itty-bitty ball.'' When I reached another pilot with his own light, fixed-wing aircraft, he asked in a challenging tone where on the island I expected him to land. I explained about the landing strip, the tires, the X marking the spot. ''Sure, sure,'' he replied and turned down the job as well. With so many recent small-plane crashes on the North Slope keeping pilots quivering on the ground, I eventually found myself with one last option: a search-and-rescue pilot named Gary Quarles, who owned a small vintage helicopter with a rebuilt engine, though he seemed as reluctant as all the rest to take on the potential complications of the job.
At this point, George stepped in on my behalf, and I saw for myself how he has managed to conduct a 27-year, poorly financed study in remote Alaska largely by sheer force of personality alone. Quarles has the pilot's requisite drop-dead sobriety, but George invited him over for coffee and a chat. He told Quarles about his birds. (''They're sort of like pigeons, but their black feathers have a subtle green iridescence -- it's very impressive.'') And he described all the methods he has devised over the years to survive on Cooper. (''It's like we're inventing a whole new culture out there.'') And with a nifty bit of anthropomorphism, he explained what brings the birds back to Cooper Island each year. (''Frankly, I know what they're going through. I once drove from East Lansing, Mich., to Sunapee, N. H., to visit my girlfriend, and I actually blew out the engine of my car thinking, I've got to get there! I've got to get there!'') By the time Quarles reached the bottom of his coffee cup, he was laughing and on board, promising not only to pick me up, but also to run resupply for George throughout the summer.
''Well, I guess it's optimistic to think Gary will actually come through for us,'' George said after Quarles left. ''But then evolution selected humans for optimism, didn't it? If Gary can't do the job,'' he went on, ''I bet the folks at Search and Rescue will come get you. To be honest, this is how it always goes. Every year I fly to Barrow never knowing how I'm going to get out to the island and back. But I've learned it's just a matter of putting yourself in the next situation, putting yourself in a position where a favorable outcome is not only likely, but absolutely necessary.'' He stopped and smiled. ''See, unless you're stuck out on Cooper on June 15, no one's going to think of coming out to rescue you on the 15th.''

Men's Health
Men May Have Biological Clocks, Too
What Men Can Do continued...
He tells WebMD that until there is a study that controls for all the variables -- which may be impossible -- all we have are assumptions and no proof.
"These are observations worth noting, but to say 'Aha, this is the answer' -- well that's a real stretch," says McCullough.
Silverman comments that while the evidence may be too new to draw finite conclusions, he says the findings thus far are relevant and a portent of things to come.
"Eventually I believe we will have the research to show that when it comes to fathering a child, time isn't always on a man's side," says Silverman.
In the meantime, as embryologist McCulloh points out, every man can protect his parenting potential at any age by taking better care of his overall health.
McCulloh tells WebMD, "If you don't smoke, drink in moderation, exercise daily, and eat a healthy diet, you are likely to remain healthier in general -- and that means a healthier reproductive system overall."
Protecting the Health of Sperm
Experts also say men can take additional steps to protect the health of their sperm as well as their potency, at every age. Try the following:
- Avoid steroid use. Muculloh says it's one of the most prominent causes of infertility in men.
- Control blood pressure. If you are already taking medication for hypertension and thinking about fathering a child, tell your doctor. Muculloh says certain blood pressure medications can be detrimental to sperm.
- Reduce alcohol intake, particularly in the three months prior to conceiving.
- Get adequate cardiovascular exercise. The healthier your heart is the less likely you are to develop circulatory problems linked to impotence.
- Limit the use of a notebook computer directly on your lap, as well as other sources of high heat, including hot tubs and Jacuzzis.
- Avoid exposure to heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, as well as radiation and toxic chemicals, including some pesticides.

Accountability is the word most often used when speaking of large industrial companies whose actions negatively affect the health and safety of people or when government at any level makes opportunistic decisions that injure or even kill Americans.
We want to know who was in charge, how those decisions were made and why the public was not fully informed. We want to know why callous behaviors are not exposed and condemned. After 11 years, everything that has happened in Iraq, militarily and economically, begs for accountability.
Since the end of World War II, America has entered into a series of wars: Korea, Vietnam, the first Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq. All have ended in stalemates at best and in military retreats at worst. We Americans have come to accept our involvement in war, regardless of the reasons, as part of the political landscape.
However, as a result of the unrestrainable chaos in Iraq, it is time for us to stop accepting another disastrous experience and look for the reasons that brought us into Iraq after 9/11. The perpetrators of 9/11 were trained in Afghanistan and, justifiably, the United States military did attack them to destroy their facilities. But we did not totally finish the job when, claiming the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld decided we should attack Iraq and depose their leader, Saddam Hussein. This, despite the fact that the U.N. investigation revealed no WMD.
As it became apparent the move into Iraq was to control the country with the world's second-largest oil reserves, protests arose in many parts of our country with one theme: no blood for oil. But the major function after the defeat of the Saddam's army was to guard the oil pipelines. The ruse was we were seeking out the (alleged) WMD as claimed by the Bush administration and the idea was that the oil we would extract from Iraq would pay for the war.
There are those who would argue that it is all water under the bridge. We must move on. Forget about the past. But here we are again. Belligerent voices in Congress will not face the reality that our Iraqi partner Nouri al-Maliki is a dishonest, corrupt despot and Iraq is strangling with the eruption of a civil war. It is time to ask why we have lost over 4,400 American military personnel and more than 32,000 have been wounded, why over 100,000 Iraqis have been killed, thousands more displaced, and billions of American dollars wasted in an attempt to bring stability to the country. Ruling power has shifted from the minority oppressive Sunni to the majority oppressive Shia.
After World War II, German Nazi leaders either killed themselves or were brought to justice in the Nuremberg trials as war criminals who had perpetrated a bloodbath in Europe.
The leaders of Japan were brought to trial for their murderous role in the Pacific. The leaders of 20th-century fascism were held accountable to the world that had lost about 55 million people during that war.
It's long past time that Americans hold the George W. Bush administration accountable and to ask some obvious questions about our entry into Iraq clearly based on the exchange of blood for oil. It would be well for the Obama administration to brave the objections of some in Congress and to resist any plan to increase our thankless, unsupportable further involvement in Iraq.

Prep basketball: Ellender records two blowout wins over South Terrebonne
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 at 11:00 p.m.
Another chapter in the bitter rivalry between South Terrebonne and Ellender was written Tuesday at the EMHS Gym.
In the girls' game, the Lady Patriots overcame a slow start and 13 3-pointers by the Lady Gators - seven by guard Naomi Russo - to take an 80-53 victory.
Jamar Williams ended the only drama in the boys' game when his 3-pointer with 1:46 remaining put Ellender over the century mark as the Patriots overwhelmed South Terrebonne, 110-55.
South Terrebonne opened the game with an 11-4 run before Ellender tied the game at 13 with a 9-2 spurt of its own before improving to 2-0 in District 9-4A play.
Neither senior guard D'Aundra Henry and sophomore center Sierra Nixon started the game, but came in to help lead the Lady Patriots (22-2) on a 25-8 run in the second quarter and take a 38-21 halftime lead.
"I kind of expected that (slow start) so I stayed a little calm and wasn't worried about it, they've been home all day so God knows what's been going on," Ellender coach Kenneth Dixon said. "I knew they would come around. Once we put the right combination out there, I knew things would step up a little bit."
Ellender went on a 23-10 run in the third quarter and had opened a 61-31 lead by the end of the period which it would protect the rest of the way. Point guard Sharde' Little was the Lady Patriots' leading scorer with 17 points. Nixon and guard Alissa Thompson had 14 points while Henry finished with 12 points.
But it was the Lady Gators' outside shooting that was the most outstanding facet of the game and gave Ellender some problems defensively.
Russo finished with 23 points, 21 of them coming from 3-pointers.
"I couldn't get her to shoot last year," South Terrebonne coach Archie Adams said about Russo. "I used to beg her to shoot and she wouldn't shoot."
Center Renatta Raymond had 10 points for the Lady Gators (7-8, 0-3).
"They weren't intimidated and that's what I was stressing," Adams said. "I told them all week that that's a very good team you're playing but don't let the fact that it's Ellender prevent you from playing. Their athleticism took over after a while but I was pleased. I can't ask for anymore than what I got from them. I've got a great group of girls and I'm proud of them."
Ellender exploded out of the gates with a 28-5 run and never looked back as it gave coach Scott Gauthreaux a happy 34th birthday present by opening its District 9-4A schedule with a resounding victory over its archrival.
"I preached to the guys about being 0-0 in district and that everybody's starting over," Gauthreaux said. "We did some good things that I've been trying to teach them that I haven't seen all year. Hopefully we're peaking at the right time. This is when you want to peak. We're working hard to achieve some goals this year and this is a good start to it."
Jerin Ruffin made five 3-pointers and scored a game-high 19 points for Ellender (22-3). Bernell Johnson had 14 points while Terry Parker finished with 12 points and point guard Kodi Smith added 10 points. Twelve of the 14 players on the Patriots roster scored in the game.
Nick Timperio led the Gators (8-14, 0-1) in scoring with 17 points while Kenny Franklin added 13 points.
"South Terrebonne's making a statement," first-year Gator coach Tony Marlbrough said, declining further comment as many Gators backers felt the Patriots ran up the score at the end amongst cheers of "No mercy" from some Ellender fans.
Gauthreaux denied the accusation.
"We just wanted to keep working and improving on defense and that's why I was disappointed when we kind of let them score a couple of times," Gauthreaux said. "Some of these guys don't get an opportunity to play a whole bunch so I'm not going to tell them to take the air out of the ball. I'm going to let them have fun and do what they're supposed to do."

First Stage's 'Midnight Cry' travels from slavery to freedom
Just after intermission in playwright James DeVita's "A Midnight Cry," the minister (Mark Corkins) hiding a terrified Lida Anderson (Malkia Stampley) tells her that "you need to act like you been living free your whole life."
A runaway on the Underground Railroad who has spent her first 17 years in slavery, a confused Lida asks just how she's supposed to pull that off. Corkins' dumbfounded minister — white, established and born free — can't even imagine himself into a place where Lida's question is possible. »Read Full Article

First post. Sorry if I'm not up to par, still learning.
My site (http://www.HPD-FFF.com) works fine (I thought), but it turns out when visiting it from a search engine (or any web based link, see above) it displays the "This page has a redirect loop" error. I never noticed, as I go direct.
I don't even know how to troubleshoot this. I assume it has to to with a plugin, but the issue just seems so odd.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Here are the greasy links your Legislature did—and didn't—grind out for you
By Simon McCormack and Marisa Demarco
They say it isn't pretty, making laws. A bill gets introduced, vetted in a series of committees, brought to the floor of the House or Senate and voted on. For a measure to become a law, to leave the state Legislature and become part of New Mexicans' lives, it has to pass both the House and Senate. Then the governor has to sign it.
Make it Longer
Legislators couldn't make anything happen in this 30-day session. Why not add a few days?
It's a good thing Gov. Richardson is dragging the Legislature back to work on his health care package. Too bad he couldn't demand they sit in those legislative seats until they got some other work done, too.

Selling Health Care Reform
By Jerry Ortiz y Pino
Gov. Richardson is upset the Legislature didn't pass his proposal for health care reform and is threatening to call it back into Special Session to do just that. I have some advice for him (not that he has ever asked for it): Don't.

Odds & Ends

Dateline: China--The price of hamsters has tripled in China since the start of 2008--designated by Chinese astrology as the Year of the Rat. The tiny rodents are considered lucky in the wake of Chinese New Year. The Chinese word for rat, laoshu, covers a variety of animals that can include kangaroo rats, hamsters and moles. Pet shops have been selling out of the animals, even at comparatively high prices of 30 yuan (nearly $5) per hamster. The Xinhua news agency identified hamsters as having a better image than rats or mice, and being more companionable as pets.

It features ten live performances of songs from Radiohead's 2007 album In Rainbows, including songs from the In Rainbows "discbox" edition's second disc.[1] It is an exclusive iTunes Store digital release.

Beverly Hills Botox Bust: Business Doing Cosmetic Procedures Searched After Patients Allege They Were Injured
Someone should be arrested for this.
Oops. The state Medical Board now says the place in question is in West Hollywood, not Beverly Hills.
Those Botox parties you hear about, where you can go get a shot in the lips and look like a Frankenstein version of Angelina Jolie? Well, unless a doctor or a registered nurse under a doctor's supervision is plunging that needle into your Hollywood face, it's illegal. (And it has to be done in a medical facility, unless a doctor is there).
That according to what Christine Valine of the California Medical Board told the Weekly today.
In fact, the occasion of our conversation was a Botox bust right here in West Hollywood
Beverly Hills:

Medical Board authorities (do these people have badges and guns?) served a search warrant this week at Calayan Medical Clinic in WeHo
B.H. after it was alleged to be offering "cosmetic surgical procedures" without a license.
One of those procedures included Botox treatments, according to board statement. Another was described as laser treatments.
Our reading of the board's statement: People who were not doctors were allegedly doing this stuff.
Dear rich old white ladies: You're really going to let someone who is not a doctor take a laser to your face?
Well, somebody complained. And some patients, says the board, were injured by the frigging lasers.
According to the board statement:
Investigators from the Board's Operation Safe Medicine conducted surveillance and an undercover investigator, posing as a patient, obtained evidence that an unlicensed female represented herself as a licensed medical doctor, diagnosed a medical condition, and performed laser treatments.
The case was referred to the L.A. County District Attorney's office for possible prosecution (or not).
So the next time you're at a Botox rager, be careful. That woman next to you with the huge, fake lips and permanent look of surprise might just be an undercover agent.

Thank you for such a great healing product
By Amanda Haley, August 12, 2013
When I originally bought the Cellerciser I thought - this is a good price compared to the bellicon - but when I jumped on the bellicon - it was like going from a Ford Taurus to a Mercedes Benz!!!!! Well worth every penny! I wish I would have known and recommended the bellicon instead of the cellerciser to our patients - but from now on we will. Thank you for a great, healing product

Red Raspberry
In this Article
How does Red Raspberry work?The chemicals in red raspberry might have antioxidant effects and help relax blood vessels. They might also cause muscles to contract or relax, depending on the dose and the muscle involved. This is the theory behind red raspberry's use in easing labor and delivery.
Are there safety concerns?Red raspberry fruit is LIKELY SAFE for most people when eaten in food amounts and POSSIBLY SAFE when taken in larger amounts as medicine.
No side effects from taking red raspberry have been reported.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It's LIKELY SAFE to eat red raspberry in food amounts during pregnancy. Red raspberry leaf is POSSIBLY SAFE for use in medicinal amounts during late pregnancy, but only under the direct supervision of a healthcare provider. Red raspberry leaf is commonly used by nurse midwives to ease delivery. Don't take it on your own. The concern is that red raspberry might act like the hormone estrogen, and this might harm the pregnancy.
Not enough is known about the safety of taking red raspberry during breast-feeding. It's best to stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids: Red raspberry might act like estrogen. If you have any condition that might be made worse by exposure to estrogen, don't use red raspberry.
Dosing considerations for Red Raspberry.The appropriate dose of red raspberry depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for red raspberry. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

I struggled with the idea of whether or not to enroll my DD in Kindergarten next year. I did a lot of research, read several studies, talked to teachers and even had my DD evaluated by a school psychologist and by a pediatrician who specializes in development (I know a little overkill). She is socially ready, and accidemically on track and has already has had 2 years of preschool... but I seemed to get the same overall message from MOST people, if you can afford to put her in a private Pre-K program then "give her the gift of time"... For us, I decided that this was the best bet. Our DD is shy and very petite and small... The thought of her going to school with kids who could be a year or more older than her kind of turned me off, and of course I want to give her every possible advantage. I finally made the decision, but still question whether or not I was making the right decision, especially after her pre-school teacher told me this week that she thinks my DD is going to be a (magical march child)... I guess they say for whatever reason some kids drastically mature by March in preschool and she is one of those children... she said she thinks she would do great starting next year. So, again I was back to thinking that maybe I should send her, that is until I saw the 60 minutes special on Kindergarten Redshirting... It totally reaffirmed my decision! Did anyone else see it?
So instead of Kindergarten DD will go to a private Pre-K program next year, it is 5-days per week from 8-1030, they start off going one day a week until 2pm (they have lunch and enrichment classes in the afternoon- technology, spanish, art, science), and you can steadily increase the encrichment days throughout the year so that by the end of the year the kids are going M-F from 8-2... I am really excited for her!

I have a Windows 2008 R2 Web edition server. Is there are way I can remote desktop connect entirely through a browser. Meaning if "Remote Desktop Connection" on my pc is blocked, I can still connect?
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Web edition server. Is there are way I can remote desktop connect entirely through a browser. Meaning if "Remote Desktop Connection" on my pc is blocked, I can still connect?
I was kind of wrong first time, if you have no control over the server then you are still out of luck but if you can get admin access then you can install the 'remote desktop web connection' subcomponent of IIS's WWW service via control panel and then browse to http://whatever/tsweb
Try it and let us know ok.
Old topic, but still a relevant question. As of this year, anyway, there are some options for someone who wants to use an in-browser RDP solution.
Guacamole provides "HTML5 Clientless Remote Desktop": This is intended to be set up on a third server to act as a tunnel and proxy, to allow a client computer to connect to a remote computer, without having to specially configure either the client or the remote computers. If you don't want to use an intermediate third server, I believe you can install Guacamole on the remote server you want to connect to (presuming it runs a webserver) and point it to localhost, then access that webpage from your client computer's browser (for example).
2X has a "Client for RDP/Remote Desktop for Google Chrome", which is a Chrome extension which does not require a third server.
RemoteSpark is another good option. They have a paid service, but you can apparently just download their HTML file and set it up for your own personal use if you have the savvy (source). What I would do in this case is drop the HTML file in a webserver directory on the server I want to access (on HTTPS of course), set it to connect to localhost so that no packets have to be transferred offsite anywhere except out to the client computer, hardcode all the settings I want, and put it up behind a login page with some two-factor authentication (at least one of the two factors being image-based or some other non-text or single-use method), in order to thwart keyloggers on public or otherwise insecure computers.
If you have admin control over the remote computer and want to set up and micromanage the RDP itself, you can try, say, a combination of FreeRDP and FreeRDP-WebConnect.
You can also look into Ericom's AccessNow, and CybeleSoft's ThinRDP, and of course Microsoft has provided a Remote Desktop Web Connection (also see) feature wrapped into their RDP solution since Windows XP.
Old Post I know but . . .
Windows Live Mesh was excellent for anyone reading this. It syncs your data across PCs but it has a hidden feature.
It has remote desktop capability that is accessible via devices.live.com
RD support of Mesh is required to be enabled first on the remote machine, and as far as I know a HTTPS tunnel is created (443)??
You can try this, I use this with my AWS EC2 instances.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/connect-to-another-computer-using-remote-desktop-web-connection "You can use Remote Desktop Web Connection to connect to a remote computer over the Internet. To do this, the remote computer must be running Windows Server 2008, and Terminal Services Web Access (TS Web Access) must be installed. "
Perhaps use a service like Logmein.com ... It uses port 80, so it should burrow through most anything.......
Your Web port's open? You could enable a SSH tunnel listening on port 80. Sure, you'd have to install it on Windows and probably have it listen on a different port. That's one quick hack of a solution. Proxy 3389 via a Web proxy.
You mean the outgoing connection is blocked?If that is the case you could just setup the server to use a different port, or just use another tool altogether, like logmein or vnc.
To add to the above list of browser based RDP clients, you can also try Myrtille, an open source solution comparable to Guacamole, but running on Windows Servers. It works for both HTML4 and HTML5, useful if you have an old browser.
