Man who built stone cairns charged with simple assaultJuly 23,2013By Christian Avard
Staff Writer
JAMAICA — A man who built hundreds of stone cairns in remembrance of his dog on the Winhall River in Rawsonville was charged with simple assault after he allegedly punched a man who he thought had knocked them down.
Kevin Polhemus, 50 of Jamaica was cutting wood at his sawmill last Wednesday on Route 30 when Grant Bercik, 25, of Jamaica approached him, according to Vermont State Trooper Chris Mora. The trooper said Bercik accused Polhemus of knocking down his cairns but Polhemus denied the act.
The trooper added that Polhemus told Bercik to leave his property and Bercik responded by punching him "with a closed fist." Polhemus sustained minor injuries, Mora said.
Police located Bercik and charged him with simple assault. He will be arraigned Sept. 17 in criminal court in Brattleboro.
Peter Salo said in an interview with the Rutland Herald last week that he was the one who knocked down the cairns. Salo said he thought they posed a traffic hazard and were dangerous to Route 30 traffic.
Hundreds of people gathered on the Winhall River on Saturday to rebuild the cairns Salo knocked down. The cairns were a Route 30 attraction that many people enjoyed, according to some local residents who participated.MORE IN This Just In

Verify Your Downloaded ISO Images Before Burning Them
md5?? ahh.
Really, there is a RECENT article telling us to verify our lengthy downloads? Wow.
Here, kiddie, I have a tip for you.
I remember posting on some old "Linux-ISO" website, long since deceased, about how they were serving a Mandrake ISO (see? I told you it was an old website) which burned CDs that refused to boot. Refused to boot for everybody. Back when a hotrod 16x cdburner could, in a good afternoon, convert a spindle of blanks into coasters. Collectively on that day, many spindles of CDRs died for no reason.
Bittorrent was, IIRC, not yet out or maybe just not yet popular, so some membership based websites were serving 'new releases' to help members get access to the ISO without needing members to be up at 3am, wait in an FTP queue, etc., etc. for a direct connection.
Although my download from that membership site had the same MD5 as the MD5 the member site posted for that ISO, I had burned it 4 times with no success... people in the forum were also getting a lot of coasters.
I decided to see if Mandrake had a differently named ISO for that MD5, and maybe the membership ISO happened to not match what Mandrake had released or whatever. Hmm. Mandrake shows no ISO with that checksum. Not the same as Mandrake? What have I been served?
Turns out that the bozo who downloaded the ISO for his members never verified the MD5 of his ISO file, which file he in turn served to everyone else. Yes, he calculated an MD5 for the file he was serving to us, but he posted his own MD5 for his clients to work with. That is why Mandrake had no such MD5.
Yup, members all downloaded his ISO, we all calculated the same MD5, but the bozo was serving a corrupt download. He might have known how to calculate the MD5, but he simply assumed that since his other downloads were always a match.... why check his MD5 THIS time? I remember that I had lost $5 in blanks on his bad file.
Oh right, the point... ahem - 'do not assume the MD5 posted on a fourth tier server is the same MD5 posted at the origin of the file, up at tier one. Always get the MD5 data from the creator, not from some re-serving site'.
Keeps everyone on the same page.
Ok, here's your soapbox back.
What happened with u is the
What happened with u is the famous case of "ASSUMPTION".
- You assumed the MD5 on some third-party website to be same as of the original ISO.
- You assumed there would be another ISO on mandrake with same MD5 (if you closely look at properties of hash functions, you would realize that collission is not so easy)
In short, Md5 is still one of the reliable and most widely used methods of checking the integrity of a download. Now, from where you obtain the ISO or to what Md5 checksum you are comparing depends entirely on how educated the user is about hash signatures and download integrity. One can obatain the MD5 checksum from authentic websites and go ahead with download from 3-part sites.
No method of security or integrity is fool proof unless one uses it as it is supposed to be used.
My 2 cents.
MD5 and SHA1 are considered
MD5 and SHA1 are considered broken as researchers were able to generate collisions.
However, these hashing algorithms are still pre-image resistant. Hence its nearly impossible for anyone to take a random iso and make its MD5 and SHA1 hash value match the hash of the actual iso.
So Md5 and SHA1 are still reliable sources of checksum calculation for the purpose of downloads....
After thinking about it, I
After thinking about it, I came to the insight that you're absolutely right! :)
So, I have to change my last statement in my last post to that it's ok as long as you got md5/sha1-checksum from a trusted site (or source).
md5/sh1 broken
Ya'll know that md5 and sha1 is broken right? Sha2 is slightly better though.
But I suppose you can use it if you download from a trusted site and wanna check that the download went ok.
You're right, they are exploitable.
Mitch Frazier is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal.
or... use BitTorrent
One could just use BitTorrent for one's ISO downloads and just forget about {md5,sha1}sum
It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle. Love isn't asked for; it's just given. Respect isn't asked for; it's earned!

Why? Does Bit-torrent automatically check the checksum for each block of data?

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Donaire Admits Defeat, Schedules Shoulder Surgery
By Luis Sandoval
Nonito Donaire suffered his first loss since 2001 as he was defeated by amateur sensation and now unified champion Guillermo Rigondeaux last Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Surprisingly after the fight, Donaire said he felt he had done enough to win the fight or at the very least earned a draw which wasn't well received by fight fans who felt Donaire had clearly lost.
Donaire was on the recent episode of BoxingScene Radio and he was asked now that a couple days had passed and he had got a chance to watch the fight, if he still felt he did enough to win.
"I don't think that I did enough to take the fight from him. I did do enough to entertain the people but again, when you're in there it's a different story because you push and you push and you try to make the fight happen and I felt I wasn't really getting tagged with a lot of things. But looking at it now, it's a different story. It's a different story than what you see in there because the guy is moving and he's tagging you and of course he's getting those points. But when you're in there it seems like it's [just] a jab and you're just trying to keep forward and press forward. And that's how I felt getting out of the ring, that I deserved enough but you know, looking back now, it wasn't enough" admitted Donaire.
Nonito admitted he didn't follow his corners instructions like he should've and resorted to looking for one big shot instead of throwing combinations like they had worked on in camp.
"It's a could've, would've [situation]. If we [had stuck] to the plan and threw a lot of combinations like we planned to do, instead of that one punch knockout mentality. I had in my head 'oh this guy is going to fall if I get him with one punch' but he turned out to be a lot tougher than I expected. I felt the same as [Vic] Darchinyan did when he said he believed in his power but I didn't [practice] what I was always preaching. Your power is nothing when you can't really land it properly. And that was the ironic thing because I always said that and yet I was the one doing and falling for that because I believed in the power I had and didn't follow the instructions that I was supposed to. I looked sluggish. I looked slow and sluggish and I just didn't do my job" Donaire would tell BoxingScene Radio.
While many felt Donaire was making an excuse about his shoulder, the injury is very real and he will actually be undergoing surgery this Friday. The surgery will definitely sideline him for some time but the Filipino Flash hopes to be able to get back in the ring again in 2013.
"I plan to be back before the end of the year. They were looking at, at least 6 months but if I take care of myself and the way I heal, I heal very fast. So we're looking to be able to come back to the gym around 4 months or so and start training but it's a long process as you have to do rehabilitation and all this other stuff. But they are telling me 4-6 months but I want to be back [before end of the year]" informed Nonito.

You can follow Luis Sandoval on Twitter @Truewest007. You can also tune in to BoxingScene Radio, Boxingscene's official audio show every Tuesday from 6-8PM PST with hosts Ernest Gabion, Luis Sandoval, and Ryan Burton.

The PJ Bandit
The title will make more sense after you read this (and it's all true!).
As if I didn't have enough stress as it is...
Here's the source of it:
Well, my sweet (yeah, right) little Molly, recently adopted and named with y'all's help, has discovered the hole that our other sweet (sure, whatever) dog Pele dug a few months ago.
So, for the last two days, both dogs have just been having a grand ole time playing in the neighbor's yard behind me. BUT, they've always come back under the fence when I call.
Not this morning.
I put the shock collar on Pele after having ordered (last night) new batteries for the other collar, which will be used on Molly. I thought that if Pele was discouraged from going under, Molly would as well.
Guess what, the battery in Pele's collar is dead too -- a fact I would soon discover (much like the pee in front of my door this morning).
So I look outside and see only my oldest dog (good girl!) on the porch.
I call for the other two dogs. Pele comes out from under the fence, but there's no Molly, although I can hear her. It's 5:30am, and I'm calling her name, trying not to screech and wake the neighbors.
I go inside and grab some dog treats and hunker down (like I'm doing my business) by the hole, holding the treats under the fence, thinking Molly might see them and come running. No go. I don't even hear her at this point.
I briefly examine the hole to see if I can fit under but decide not to try it.
So then I start worrying that maybe she got out of their yard and is wandering around the neighborhood. I jump, barefoot and with night clothes on, into the Jeep and drive around the corner and park in front of my neighbor's house. No lights on at home.
So, I look for the fence gate. Of course, I choose the wrong side of the house first. Going to the other side of the house, and looking like the PJ Bandit, I finding the gate, trying to be quiet, but of course I'm not. Egad...did I wake the sleeping bodies inside. Apparently not. But I do get in. Beautiful back yard. I've always wondered what it looked like. Too bad I'm seeing it in my pj's at 5:30 in the morning!
No dog. I see the porch door ajar. I creep up to the door and peek inside. No Molly.
I turn around, and there comes my Molly, hopping around through their flower bed...happy as can be.
I scoop her up, sneak back out of the yard, and quietly close the latch. We drive back home as quickly as possible.
The bad thing is that I can't punish her at this point because she would have no clue what she did wrong.
"Uh, hello, Pet Supply Store, can you please RUSH those danged batteries."
AWWWW :roflhard:
we had a "jailbreak" too yesterday! We have a large fenced in dog run (with a dog house, shade, water and food). We have 2 basset hounds. Usually very lazy. One is an escape artist, so we hook her to a large tie out in the pen. (she can go in the dog house and reach all corners, but can't dig out.) the other dog is too old and lazy to do anything. (so we thought.)
I walk out the front door to go pick up my daughter from day camp and there is the older one wandering in the (weird) neighbor's front yard!!! Ack!!!
She came right to me, happy as a clam. I run back into the back yard to see about the other one. She is still attached to the tie out, but she is yanking on the door of the pen with her teeth,a nd she has pulled it open. Good grief!!! I thought for sure she had hurt her mouth/teeth with that- but no.
I have no idea what got into her/ them. they were only out there for an hour or so to get a little fresh air while I was on a teleconference. Normally, they can spend the whole day out there happily! The only thing I can figure out is the neighbors up the street are having major construction done to the back of their house. We can see their construction from our back yard. Our silly dogs must have wanted to go play with the workmen.....
thank goodness they still had their collars on with their tags. Animal control is pretty fast in our neighborhood, and the one time the escape artist got out, she had wriggled out of her collar and was picked up within an hour.
glad you got everyone back!!!
How funny!
I saw a video (I think it was AFV) where a dog, notorious for escaping the yard, climbed a tree, and climbed over a deer stand looking thing that had been erected as a deterrent, to get over the fence. It was truly amazing.
My problem is that Molly is so small that she can fit under the fence quite easily. Or maybe the problem is that the hole is too big. Pele is 55 pounds now, and although he struggles, he still gets through.
Oh, Nathalie - the mental image of you sneaking around the neighbor's house in your PJs is just too funny!:lol:
LOL- too funny!
Is there a way to block the hole? we had to give up blocking holes with the escape artist- she just dug them again.... every so often we pack new dirt down in the hole and within a few days, she's dug it again.
When a dog is determined.... what can ya do? I'm glad the neighbors didn't find you in your pj's!
We've tried blocking the holes, but the dogs manage to move whatever we use.
So, shock collar here we come. I wish I didn't have to, but it certainly stops my other dogs -- when the batteries work.
We used to have a dog that could climb our 8 foot wooden fence. The first time, the animal control lady took him wiht her, but called cause he had tags. THe second, she put him back, and he followed her right out. After that she would let him ride in the front seat of her truck and bring him home after my mom got home. After a few days, he started getting out and going to sit next to the road to wait on her.
I am glad that you found her, and that no one saw you (we hope) in you pjs. :teehee:
Wow, maybe spending $2k on a fenced in dog run isn't a good idea...

Are we to take it that the body art and graffiti all have an aquatic theme?
If not then these are missleading and are also a tad off brief it would seem.
I like the art direction, but there is a gap between the visual and line here, and no amount of "cool" is going to fill that gap. sorry.
They do look good though.
Looking at the thumbnail I thought this was a fantastic public service ad.
Until I saw what this was really for... :(

Alarm and anger grow as LightSquared threatens USA GPS system
by Nancy Knudsen on 31 Jan 2012
If GPS were compromised it would affect every GPS-dependent piece of equipment Garmin
GPS-enabled devices could be compromised if a plan to expand the United States' broadband system goes forward, yet the company that proposes to build a broadband cell-phone communications network it calls LightSquared, 4G-LTE wireless broadband, is as yet completely undaunted by marine industry concern that the vital GPS system is under threat.
It confirmed that in late December, sending the FCC a petition asking for a declaratory ruling endorsing its right as a radio spectrum licensee to put its system in place. It is making no claim it won't interfere with GPS; in fact, it's saying the GPS industry has no right to ask the FCC for protection from LightSquared.
The firm needed a waiver from the Federal Communications Commission because its license was limited to low-power satellite communication and its plan calls for high-power land-based signals.
The FCC granted the waiver last January. That news was received with shock and horror by the makers and users of GPS devices and organizations that represent them, and for good reason. The LightSquared network has the potential to destroy GPS as we know it. (See http://www.sail-world.com/index_d.cfm?nid=86739!Sail-World_story from August 2011.)
That could happen because the frequencies LightSquared would operate on are next to those used by GPS. Satellites in the GPS system send signals with minuscule amounts of power. LightSquared signals would be many multiple times stronger, and could effectively make the GPS system inoperable.
The FCC acknowledged that possibility in January 2011 when it issued the waiver with a condition—it would only take effect if the LightSquared network did not interfere with GPS. However, in the latest demand for a ruling, LightSquared is apparently making no claim that their system won't interfere with the current GPS network.
In a tacit admission that its network would indeed be a threat to disable GPS, LightSquared published the video here showing how modified GPS antennae are not affected by the new LightSquared system. Watch the video below, which begs the question - who pays for replacement or modification of the thousands and thousands of GPS antennae that are out there today?
Some GPS experts in the marine industry have expressed doubts that modifications of existing GPS systems would even work, and, after the demand from LightSquared, concern is rising to anger.
In the summer of 2010 the U.S. Air Force Space Command conducted a series of tests which showed that LightSquared did indeed interfere with GPS unacceptably. LightSquared complains that these tests have been kept secret, and so can't examine or defend them. So they're angry too.
The origin of the problem was that the U.S. National Broadband Plan, mandated by Congress in early 2009, directed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to develop a plan to ensure every American has 'access to broadband capability,' especially in rural and under-served areas.
One thing is sure. The GPS system is probably the greatest innovation to hit the maritime world since the invention of the sail. It certainly needs to be protected, and cruising sailors, along with the rest of the maritime world, should not have to pay for the introduction of another, profit-making, system.

While we spend a lot of time thinking about health problems that pertain specifically to certain dog breeds, the so-called "fancy" cat doesn't call a lot of attention to itself. There are fewer specialty breeds of cats, and mostly we think of the "domestic short hair" as the representative of the species.
Try telling that to a Siamese owner!
This exotic cat has its origins in Thailand. The original name means "moon diamond," and it is the most popular of the purebred cats. The Siamese has changed from its original appearance, and is now very often seen as slender, leggy and with a very fine, pointed muzzle.
The "points," or color-marked areas, which include mask, legs and tail, have morphed from the original seal color to chocolate, lilac, flame and even tortoise patterns. These points have an interesting scientific basis — they result from a partial albino trait and relate to a heat-sensitive enzyme that produces pigment. The cooler parts of the skin grow darker hair, and the face is cool because of air flow through the nasal sinuses. The kittens are born white, and by four months or so, have begun showing their characteristic pattern.
The old-fashioned traits of the Siamese — the kinked tail and crossed eyes — have mostly been bred out by breeders, but the typical voice is common. Siamese are great talkers and have been described as the dogs of the cat world, for their sociable nature, insistence on being heard, and what has been described as "clinginess."
Generally relatively long-lived, Siamese are resistant to the urinary-tract woes that plague many cats. There is some evidence that this breed is more prone to mammary tumors, another reason to be sure to spay early, before the first heat cycle.
One lovely story that comes down to us across the ages is the legend of how the Siamese got the characteristic kink in its tail. A cat that was the prize of an Egyptian princess would accompany his mistress to her bath. She entrusted him with her precious rings, slipping them over his tail for safekeeping. The proud cat, guarding his treasure, kinked his tail to be sure not to lose the jewels. The tail remained permanently kinked, and to this day we see the last vertebra at a marked angle, sign of the Siamese's pride, loyalty and commitment to duty. A nice story about a lovely breed.

FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) - Colbert County in northwest Alabama landed a rail car manufacturing plant Wednesday that is expected to employ 1,800 workers.
National Industries, the parent company of National Steel Car in Hamilton, Ontario, is opening the Alabama plant.
Governor Riley joined company Chairman Gregory Aziz for the announcement in Florence. Riley says the plant is the type of transformational economic development project that northwest Alabama has needed for some time.
Specific investment figures for the Alabama plant were not disclosed, but officials put it in the 350 million range.
The plant is expected to open in early 2009 with 1,800workers and the ability to produce eight thousand to ten thousand rail cars annually.

Space Debris Illustrated: The Problem in Picturesby Nancy Atkinson
Space junk, space debris, space waste — call it what you want, but just as junk and waste cause problems here on Earth, in space spent booster stages, nuts and bolts from ISS construction, various accidental discards such as spacesuit gloves and cameras, and fragments from exploded spacecraft could turn into a serious problem for the future of spaceflight if actions to mitigate the threat are not taken now. The European Space Operations Centre has put together some startling images highlighting this issue. Above is a depiction of the trackable objects in orbit around Earth in low Earth orbit (LEO–the fuzzy cloud around Earth), geostationary Earth orbit (GEO — farther out, approximately 35,786 km (22,240 miles) above Earth) and all points in between.
Between the launch of Sputnik on 4 October 1957 and 1 January 2008, approximately 4600 launches have placed some 6000 satellites into orbit; about 400 are now travelling beyond Earth on interplanetary trajectories, but of the remaining 5600 only about 800 satellites are operational – roughly 45 percent of these are both in LEO and GEO. Space debris comprise the ever-increasing amount of inactive space hardware in orbit around the Earth as well as fragments of spacecraft that have broken up, exploded or otherwise become abandoned. About 50 percent of all trackable objects are due to in-orbit explosion events (about 200) or collision events (less than 10).
Officials from the space shuttle program have said the shuttle regularly takes hits from space debris, and over 80 windows had to be replaced over the years. The ISS occasionally has to take evasive maneuvers to avoid collisions with space junk. And of course, this debris is not just sitting stationary: in orbit, relative velocities can be quite large, ranging in the tens of thousands of kilometers per hour.
For the Envisat satellite, for example, the ESA says the most probable relative velocity between the satellite and a debris object is 52,000 kilometers per hour. If a debris objects hits a satellite, the ISS or the Shuttle, at those speeds it could cause severe damage or catastrophe.
Above is a depiction of debris in polar orbit around Earth. From the image below, it's evident how explosions of spacecraft causes even more scattered debris. Even after the end of the mission, batteries and pressurised systems as well as fuel tanks explode. This generates debris objects, which contribute to the growing population of materials in orbit, ranging from less than a micrometer to 10 centimeters or more in size.
About 40% of ground-trackable space debris come from explosions, now running at four to five per year. In 1961, the first explosion tripled the amount of trackable space debris. In the past decade, most operators have started employing on-board passive measures to eliminate latent sources of energy related to batteries, fuel tanks, propulsion systems and pyrotechnics. But this alone is insufficient. At present rates, in 20 or 30 years, collisions would exceed explosions as a source of new debris.
The ESA says it is crucial to start immediately to implement mitigation measures. This image shows a simulation of the the 2112 GEO environment in the case when no measures are taken. In the top panel, with mitigation measures, a much cleaner space environment can be observed if the number of explosions is reduced drastically and if no mission-related objects are ejected. The bottom panel shows the "business-as-usual" scenario, without any mitigation measures taken. However, to stop the ever-increasing amount of debris, more ambitious mitigation measures must be taken. Most importantly, spacecraft and rocket stages have to de-orbited and returned to Earth after the completion of their mission.
They'll burn up in the atmosphere, or splash down in uninhabited ocean areas. In the case of telecommunication and other satellites operating in the commercially valuable geostationary zone, they should boost their satellites to a safe disposal orbit, as shown below.
There are other measures, like reducing the number of mission-related objects and controlling the risk for reentry, but these are the basics. The issue is that such mitigation measures cost fuel and operational time, and therefore they increase cost. In the commercial world, this may competitiveness, unless there is an international consensus to accept such costs.

I agree Nathan. Also with a finite amount of resources on Earth you have to wonder when the value of this space junk will be such that we will need to bring it back and recycle it.
They demoted Pluto from the list of planets because it hadn't
cleaned up it's orbit. If this littering keeps up we'll have to demote earth too.
The inclusion of a "suicide" thruster in satellite design would allow the items to de-orbit when their service life was over. This could reduce some of the debris. This was proposed in the early '60s, but the idea died.
Humans..pff. We are so dirty that we even have a pollution problem orbiting our planet. We are a parasitic species.
Basura espacial, escombros espaciales, residuos espaciales: llámenlo como quieran, pero asà como la basura o los residuos causan problemas aquà en la Tierra, de la misma manera en el espacio las etapas de cohetes agotadas, tuercas y tornillos de la construcción de la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS), […] Fuente: Nancy Atkinson para Universe Today.
I think the first step would be to get all the rocket boosters, dead satellites, and other large debris, attach retrorockets to them, and de-orbit them before they collide and create an even bigger mess.
I just realized, once private spaceflight really takes off, those companies will have a vested interest in keeping their infrastructure intact. It might acually make such an effort realistic, even profitable.
This message brought to you by Orbtial Waste Managment…
Even with these graphs, you have to understand that each of those pieces are miles and miles apart from each other, and each one of them are really small. One glove in 100 miles isn't really going to make a lot of difference. There's probably just as many asteroids as there is our debris.
couldn't we send up a magnet into orbit to collect some of it?
after it collects enough to have been worth the effort, send it into the sun.
It's no doubt a bad problem, but surely the debris in these images is not drawn to scale. Space is big, as the Hitchhiker's guide says, and the debris must fill only a very tiny fraction of it, which the images don't convey.
What would convince me more is real data about collision cross sections and probabilities.
I wonder how many satellites up there could be consolidated if more countries/companies worked together?
Cosmic dust hugger. The amount of debris is so inconsequential to the amount of space out there that this whole article is just ridiculous. Go hus a tree, environmentalist wacko.
The "space is big" argument loses when you hear that 80 Space Shuttle windows have be ruined! One nut at 52,000 kph will ruin your day if you are on a spacewalk. We are talking about freezedried blood all over the place. I was thinking on the lines of the "starbiggie" idea, only have a spacecraft in a retrograde orbit with radar search out debris and launch xenon balloons to deorbit the stuff. Xenon for a heavy gas and retrograde for maximum delta V.
I'm glad you think the problem is inconsequential. But if I had 80 windows broken on my house I would be calling the problem anything but inconsequential.
Any junk in space is a problem, not least because much of it will fall back to earth eventually. If it happens to be a large chassis member or a battery it may very well not burn up completely on re-entry, and I do not want that landing anywhere near me.
Roger, I say you are ridiculous and I hope a tree falls on your head. Maybe the decomposition of your body will be the first time you actually gave back to your home, this planet.
"environmentalist wacko" ? Seriously? Its a science article, dont like it, dont read it.
Space is big. Real big. But it doesnt make a difference when there are thousands upon thousands of tiny little objects flying, and this is the fun part, around our Earth!
And Vanamonde said pretty much said it. It really is like walking out in the cross fire of a shooting range when astronauts are doing space walks.
Why dont you go up there and see how big space is with these little bullets flying at you. Tell us how safe you feel.
If you are writing a science article, can you at least give us your sources, or some links? Id rather that, then you just ripping this stuff of some site. So its not just unfounded work. Ive seen a lot of these images in a video, at the science museum in London. It actually said how these debris werent a problem. 6000 cars, drinig around the earth…. how often are they going to hit? And what if they can be a different heights?
80 windows huh? How many miles did the shuttles accumulate to break that many windows? I bet if you drove your car that many miles, you would probably have more broken windows caused by road gravel. And how many of the windows were replaced because they were unsafe, and how many were replaced because they didn't work well as a view port?
Scale drawings and statistics would have made this article more interesting, but as it doesn't have these I'm gonna have to call it crap.
This article is crap.

Apricot-Ginger Sauce
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
This sauce is very versatile. It is delicious warm with pork or ham, and also good cold served over ice cream! You can vary the texture by blending the mix with a hand held blender, or leave it chunky...your choice! If you do choose to blend it, the yield will be slightly less than specified.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄2 cups water
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 8 ounces dried apricots, chopped
- 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger, chopped
- 2 tablespoons apricot brandy
- Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan; stir well. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the chopped dried apricots and ginger.
- Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Stir in the brandy, and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Serve warm over pork or ham, or chill and serve over ice cream. You can also use a hand held blender to make it smoother if you prefer.
Most Helpful
How simple and yummy can you get! I used Splenda for the sugar and pureed in the food pro as hubby likes smooth sauces. The sauce was great on pork loin slices tonight and I can't wait to get ice cream tomorrow and try that out. :D

"It's because we're so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have, and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We're so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we're trained to want."
"You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being -- not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money -- but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason."

'Enough Is Enough': Twitter Shares Ready to Fly Again
While it's been a year to forget for Twitter bulls, one analyst predicts shares of the microblogging site are poised for a rebound.
When the stock was above $70 in late December, investors were viewing Twitter as a product that had mainstream potential and could rival competitor Facebook on a size and scale basis. But with the stock trading in the low $30s, a much different investor mindset has taken shape.
"We believe that the market has now priced in the expectation that Twitter remains a niche social-media product," says Anthony DiClemente, an analyst at Nomura, noting Twitter is "unlikely to achieve mainstream status."
He upgraded Twitter to buy from neutral and maintained a $43 price target on the stock. "We believe risk/reward is much more favorable now, given the possibility that product enhancements rejuvenate user growth," he said.
Twitter shares recently jumped 9.5% to $33.40. But even amid the rally, the stock is still down about 50% for the year.
Mr. DiClemente predicts Wall Street views Twitter as a product that will be less than 20% the size of Facebook in about three years. That estimate may be too conservative. "If there is any traction for recent product initiatives to boost user growth, there may be upside to Street estimates," he said.
He isn't the only analyst to recently express some hope in Twitter's next move. Earlier this month Robert Peck an analyst with Atlanta, Ga.-based SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, upgraded his Twitter rating, saying the company doesn't need to be Facebook to justify its valuation.
Twitter shares have been hit hard by slowing user growth and the expiration of a lockup period that had prevented the company's early investors and employees from selling stock. Yet despite the monthslong decline, Twitter still trades above its $26 IPO price in November.
"With the stock down ~50% year-to-date (vs. S&P500 up 4%) and down 28% since earnings (vs. up 2%), we believe that 'enough is enough' and that the current price offers investors a unique opportunity to own a now-underappreciated digital media asset," Mr. DiClemente said.

DETROIT - The sun smiled as Detroit's workers showed their spirit in the city's famous Labor Day march on Monday. Vice President Joe Biden electrified the crowd, Michigan's two largest teachers unions marched as one, and for the first time many could remember, Detroit's police officers marched in the parade. Perhaps adding to the jubilant mood, the Detroit Tigers had just completed a sweep of the Chicago White Sox to tie up the American League Central division.
Good weather and baseball aside, Michigan's working families know they are in the fight of their lives. The state's Republican legislature is introducing bill after bill that curtails workers' right to bargain collectively.
"This election we have a choice," said Stacie Steward, an autoworker at Chrysler's Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, addressing the downtown rally after the parade. "We can stand up for collective bargaining and working families or we can allow corporate special interests to eliminate our voices and our jobs,"
"Stand up and join up," she urged the crowd, calling on them to get active supporting the Nov. 6 voter initiative that would amend the state constitution to protect collective bargaining rights in Michigan.
That message was repeated by University of Michigan Hospital nurse Mary Ann Beauchamp, who pointed out that collective bargaining is good for patients too. "Collective bargaining gives us the protection, training and staffing we need to save lives," she said.
Vice President Biden drew cheers as he emphasized the dangers workers face from Republicans. "They don't believe in your very right to bargain" said Biden. He quoted Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney backing union-busting "right to work" laws: "'Right to work' is the way to go. I'd like to see it on a national level as well."
Biden responded, "These guys don't get it. Right-to-work means the right to work for less." Speaking for the Obama administration, he declared, "Ladies and gentleman, that will not happen as long as we are here. It will not happen!"
To loud cheers and chants of "Four more years," Biden roared, "We're for Medicare, they're for voucher care."
Biden also criticized Romney's tax proposals, saying they will increase the deficit and result in families with children paying $2,000 a year more in taxes.
Referring to Romney's opposition to bailing out the auto industry, proclaimed in his 2008 "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" op-ed in the New York Times, Biden said, "You can't say you are gong to create jobs in America when you are willing to let one million jobs go under."

What is a 'Winner-Takes-All Market'
A winner-takes-all market is a market in which the best performers are able to capture a very large share of the rewards, and the remaining competitors are left with very little. The expansion of winner-takes-all markets widens wealth disparities because a select few are able to capture increasing amounts of income that would otherwise be more widely distributed throughout the population.
BREAKING DOWN 'Winner-Takes-All Market'
Many commentators believe that the prevalence of winner-takes-all markets is expanding as technology lessens the barriers to competition within many fields of commerce. A good example of a winner-takes-all market can be seen in the rise of large multinational firms, such as Wal-Mart. In the past, a wide variety of local stores existed within different geographic regions. Today, however, better transportation, telecommunications and information technology systems have lifted the constraints to competition. Large firms like Wal-Mart are able to effectively manage vast resources in order to gain an advantage over local competitors and capture a large share in almost every market they enter.

I own a 1997 Subaru Outback. Recently, the light that illuminates the shift console gears between the seats has started to go out. Unfortunately there is no gear display in the dash board for this year and model. If you tap the gear display cover, the light comes back on. It is only a matter of time before the light goes out. The dealership wants $80 to replace the bulb.
Has anyone replaced theirs that could give me directions on the quickest way to get to it or how (in which order) to take the center island apart?

Reviews of Xigera
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Xigera review
This was by far the best camp that we stayed in. The rooms were good - the food excellent - the staff enthusiastic and competent - the Manager young and very able. They were also the only of 3 camps in which we stayed where they washed mens underpants.
The menu was varied, we got two choices of main course at dinner e.g. steak and fish and the cook could also produce excellent pastries and cakes. Breakfast at 0530 had fruit, cereal, bread, marmalade and muffins.
The Guide "Goms" was excellent
Elephants in camp at Xigera
It's a long way (app. 400 metres) from the "base" to the furthest room - information which didn't seem to appear in anything we read before we went; we had to ask to be moved. Also, with a lot of wildlife in camp it could have been difficult to move between room and base.
Impressive use of solar panels.
Our guide, Onx, went out of his way to find us not one, but two, Pel's fishing owls. Wildlife was good - saw leopards again.
There seemed to be a lot of "managers" - all friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately we were not able to book a private vehicle here - this restricted our activities. A lot of the drives were very bumpy and the drive to the boat ride was horrible, with a long part of it through close trees; it turned out there was a much quicker and easier route.
Xigera in the heart of the Okavango
Beautiful setting right in the Okavango delta: wonderful and varied grasslands, reed-lined waterways and palm trees: great for photography. Lots of giraffe, elephants, zebra, hippos to mention but a few. A pair of Pel's Fishing Owls perch in the trees near the camp.
A highlight was the high speed boat down the canals to the lagoon where we swam and drank our sun-downers in the warm, and fast flowing cristal clear water. We saw pink backed pelicans and the rare African skimmer. Fantastic sunsets.
The food was not as good as we had experienced in other camps in Botswana.
Great stay at Xigera
This camp was a complete contrast to our first camp as it was water based. Going out on the mokoro boat was so peaceful and relaxing even when a large male elephant decided to cross the water right in front of us (brilliant video).
Food was lovely and we enjoyed eating and chatting with the other guests over dinner.
Xigera review
Saw Pel's fishing owl plus many other birds. Mokoro boat rides were very peaceful and relaxing.
In contrast, the long boat journey up to Chief's Island was fast and noisy in the motor boat which tended frighten the birds away.
Xigera review
We so enjoyed Xigera because it was different from the previous camps. We enjoyed mokoro and boat trips and swimming in the lagoon with sundowners in the water was a highlight.
We were also treated to dinner a deux on our last evening, which was very special and a beautful end to our trip.
Xigera review
Although we only had two nights in Xigera, our visit was truly memorable. Our tent was located at the end of the camp, overlooking the lagoon. It was just fantastic. We were the only guests in camp on the first night, so the staff was even more attentive.
The wildlife viewing was also excellent. On our first mokoro ride, our guide, Teko found a Pel's Fish Owl. It was one of the most beautiful birds we have ever seen. The next day, we had an all-day excursion to Chief's Island. We saw all sorts of wildlife, include more hippos that we could count. The "picnic" was quite a spread - as good as any in camp. What a treat!
In the camp we were entertained during the day by all of the vervets. One of the staff took Cynthia around to watch them play and mock fight, which resulted in some great video clips.
In hindsight, we would have enjoyed a third night in Xigera; it's beauty, peacefulness, and the hospitality of the staff made the whole stay idyllic.
A Heronry with Attached Safari Lodge
We visited Xigera about 6 years ago but it was spoiled by inappropriate malarial treatment - the one that makes the skin sun sensitive! This was a return visit to do all the things we missed last time.
What a treat to find Ann and Mike in residence as managers. We met them when they were running Kwetsani 2 years ago. A truly professional team determined to make the best possible use of all their natural and human resources. The camp runs like clockwork and we were in no doubt that all their efforts were to ensure we had the best holiday ever. It worked.
We knew this was a water camp but the team also managed to fit in several game drives despite the unseasonally high water levels. Teko is a guide of unrivalled experience of the Xigera area and he did us proud. The absolute highlight was the afternoon boat ride to the heronry. A completely magical place and a must for any September visitors who appreciate birds. A water camp par exellence run by a great team. We loved it.
Waterworld with lions, hyaenas and birds
From the moment our helicopter touched down near the camp, we knew this would be special and were not disappointed. Since all the activities are water-based, the knowledge and skill of the guide are critical to enjoyment of the landscapes and animal and bird life the camp has to offer. Our guide, Ndebo, grew up in the Delta area and brought both local knowledge and professional experience in seeking out the not frequently seen - e.g., the Pel's fishing owl - and in explaining animal behaviour.
The food was excellent, especially the pounded beef dish that formed part of the boma dinner, and the service was unerringly friendly and attentive. It was July and cold at night and in the morning during our visit. While each camp we stayed at provided the requisite hot water bottles, Xigera ranks at the top for having the hottest ones. The cold did not seem to deter the elephants - each night we drifted off to sleep to the sound of them calmly crunching their way through the palm bushes surrounding our tent.
Top marks too for the quality of the baskets made by Xigera staff. These are serving as excellent mementos of our visit there.
Xigera review
An excellent wet camp. we saw many animals on the boat safari trips, which were very beautiful and atmospheric. The staff made us very welcome and organised a special honeymoon brunch.
We would willingly return -- a good first lodge fro our trip
