The "thunder chickens" are gobbling away in the Lowcountry woods, and blackfin tuna are rocketing out of offshore waters as they bust schools of flying fish.
I've been lucky enough to witness both of these scenes in the past few weeks - sure signs to me that spring has finally arrived here in the Lowcountry.
There's no better time for a little cast-and-blast action.
Tuna time
We've got a few weeks before the dolphin arrive en masse offshore, but that's no reason to cool your heels back on the hill.
Though recent reports seem to indicate a lukewarm wahoo bite, anglers are still managing to catch some of these blue-striped torpedoes.
But most of the folks I tend to fish with are fired up about blackfin tuna ... and for good reason. Spring is the best time to catch these amazing fish, and despite reports to the contrary, they are superb table fare (especially when pan-seared with a crust of sesame seeds.)
After receiving an invitation to join an experimental tuna trip with Bill Freeman, owner of Freeman Boat Works, I played hooky from work last week and headed out with a great group of anglers to the Georgetown Hole.
Before leaving the dock on one of Freeman's custom-built, 37-foot, high-performance catamarans, we stripped the boat of most of its trolling equipment, including its outriggers.
We were going to fish exclusively with deep-dropping knife jigs and large surface poppers. Courtland Babcock, who's widely seen as the Lowcountry's resident expert on offshore jig-and-pop techniques, had driven up from Hilton Head that morning to jump on board and give us all a lesson.
Over the course of the day, we hit the tuna pretty hard, even though some boats trolling around us seemed to be struggling.
We'd mark one of the Hole's many fish-holding drop-offs, run upwind and drift back over while casting out surface poppers and dropping down those heavy, flat jigs.
Over the course of 7 or so hours of hard fishing, there were few moments when a line wasn't peeling out drag. Sometimes it was tuna on the end, but more often it was a 40-pound amberjack or 10-foot shark.
By the end of the trip, we had landed 10 hefty blackfin, including one over 34 pounds, and lost a dozen or so more to those massive sharks, sometimes right as we were about to gaff the tuna.
It was a wild trip that, for me, marked the real beginning of the 2014 offshore season.
So, if you see a good weather window and can score some time off work, don't hesitate - the fish are out there.
My turkey hunting season started out with a big bang this year.
My brother and I have been chasing these birds with varying degrees of success for at least 15 years. We hunted together on our first hunt this year on the day after the season opened on private lands. For the first time, we both bagged a bird on the same morning . though our hunts unfolded much differently.
My brother had birds gobbling all around him, close in, from first light. Three gobblers flew down in front of him and proceeded to put on quite the show: strutting, fighting, flying off and coming back. My brother eventually picked one out and bagged his first bird of 2014.
I, on the other hand, had a tougher time at the opposite end of the property.
I heard very few gobbles, and pushed one bird out of its roost after deciding to move closer to a gobbling tom after first light.
Figuring I had boogered up my hunt, I sat down on the side of an old logging road and made a few calls. After a half-hour or so, I heard my brother shoot. I made a few more half-hearted calls and sat there for another 20 minutes, silent and still. I had just about made up my mind to walk out and help him clean his bird when my peripheral vision caught movement.
I cut my eyes hard left in time to see a gobbler arch its red head out from behind a tree a mere 10 feet from where I sat. Apparently, the bird had zeroed in on my calls, even though I had stopped long before he materialized.
He never made a peep, and I never heard him coming.
I froze, immediately, afraid to even move my eyeballs. We stared at each other for a second, then the gobbler cocked its head, turned around and walked back into the brush out of sight.
I eased my shotgun up a bit and waited.
Sure enough, he circled around through the woods and stepped out onto that logging road about 20 yards away. He never made it across.
Both of our birds were 2-year-olds, about 16 pounds apiece. Young birds, with 8-inch beards and maybe three-quarter inch spurs. No boss toms, but we were glad to have them.
Turkey season continues through April 30, including in the Francis Marion National Forest and other public hunting lands.
If you're new to turkey hunting, keep my story in mind when you're out there.
The presence of turkeys may be obvious on some hunts, as it was with my brother's. They may be booming all over the place, both in the roost and after they fly down to strut.
Other times, you might not hear a sound. But they're there. You have to trust in a hunter's most valuable assets: confidence, patience, camouflage and stillness.

IEA-RETD Policy Brief Highlights Positive Impacts of Renewable Energy Deployment on Jobs
3 October 2012: A policy brief by the International Energy Agency's (IEA) Implementing Agreement on Renewable Energy Technology Deployment (RETD), titled "Renewable Energy and Employment," discusses findings of studies on the impact of renewable energy deployment on employment, and provides recommendations for policy-makers.
The policy brief is the outcome of a project called "IEA-RETD EMPLOY," which was established to develop methodological guidelines for assessing the impact of renewable energy use on employment. The project focused specifically on electricity generation from renewable sources.
The brief indicates that the project found existing studies on this topic are difficult to compare due to the various methodologies they use. From these studies, however, the project was able to conclude that deployment of renewable energy contributes positively to employment both regarding the number of jobs generated in the renewable energy sector as well as economy-wide.
The policy brief also provides three recommendations to policy-makers: to support the development of calculation models, improvement of data availability and data quality, and the standardization of calculation approaches; to treat employment studies with caution due to the sensitivity of the outcomes on the use of assumptions and the quality of the input data; and to use the outcomes of employment impact studies in broader national socio-economic and environmental contexts. In order to better compare economy-wide employment impact studies and analyze the assumptions and input variables used, the project also established a checklist for policy makers to use in evaluating studies.

Stock Talk: Thoughts and Opinions 0 commentsThe other day a reader asked my personal opinion on various stocks in his portfolio so I thought I'd share my thoughts to all of you.
PQ: Great technology bet, tech historically does well in fall and helped by strong sector performance good stock to own.
MCD: Dividend rich stock, fast food is not going away anytime soon. Should continue to make lots of money which only makes stock go up.
SONC: Stock is whatever for me, will rise led by sector performance however I think stronger buys out there.
JNJ: Again safe long-term pick, supported by solid dividend, strong analyst support, and good book its a safe bet.
WU: Solid PEG Ratio, good analyst coverage, and potential to continue to grow. Dividend is a plus.
DEO: Safe bet, largest alcohol producer. Supported with solid dividend expect $75 in a year. I met the CEO two years ago when I interned and sat in on conference call and have emailed him since he is a badass and will take this company higher.
XOM: Expect XOM to see lots of new business now with BP's problems. I think this is a good long-term anchor to any portfolio.
BA: Undervalued big time, dividend support, strong sector support, strong PE numbers. Only concern is PEG ratio is a little high.
MSFT: Yes they were passed by Apple but that's no reason to ditch MSFT. Supported by a nice dividend Microsoft will hit $35 in a year supported by strong sector performance.
CSCO: Another great Tech stock that will shine in the fall.
COST: Best of breed retailer, safe bet longterm as consumer spending begins to return to normal levels.
PAYX: High dividend but the financials for the company aren't so great. I'd pass as better buys and more speculative and value plays out in the market.
KO: Value brands are always strong long-term investments just look at DIS, MCD, MSFT.
NUE: Great potential but I like FLR, FWLT, and COP instead.
PEP: Again like I said with Coke solid brands always to well. Steady growth not as speculative but safe picks.
UPS: Rising costs in United Postal Service should give more business to UPS making it expected to beat earnings estimates.
ABT: Long record increasing dividends. EPS numbers strong, excellent stock for value investors.
Other Strong Plays:
TOT: Amazing stock to own, high global exposure in strategic locations including the recent addition of moving into the rich African nation. Moving on they have increased their exposure to natural gas in both France and Denmark. With a solid 5% dividend and the belief that the market has bottomed out makes this is a great position to own. I know none of us are sure of when the market will begin to rebound but when it does this is a stock not to miss out on.
JOYG: +160% run over past year/+45% since mid-Feb. This mining equipment specialist is positioned to continue its run in this ongoing, multi-yr, secular bull market in mined commodities.
BUCY: Ditto for Bucyrus as said above.
RAX: This computing specialist that provides web-based IT systems has soared 60%+ in the past year. With a P/S above 3 and Price to Cash of 10 this stock is poised to continue to soar and outperform it's peers. $22 in a year is a realistic bet.
ATVI: This video game creator has been lagging in the past 12 months compared to other stocks. With fall around the corner and strong titles coming out I think this stock will start to pickup. A PEG of 0.1 shows this stock is undervalued big time.
AAPL: With $23 billion in cash on hand and a PEG ratio of 0.6 Apple still has room to grow. Strengthened by strong releases of new products such as iPhone 4 and iPad I see no reason to doubt earnings going anywhere but up.
TQNT: Screaming buy, stock has a PEG ratio of 0.1 and is recommended by 91% of analysts.
CVX: Good overall play as they have very low exposure to refining while holding a stellar exploration portfolio. With rising oil prices this stock is a no brainer. Chevron also posses a solid 4% dividend yield and is currently trading at around eight times earnings.
PBR: Love this stock however it has been the worst performing stock in Brail throughout the first half of the year due to capital problems and the BP Oil Spill. I feel this overhang has kept the stock low which presents a great buying opportunity as PBR continues to be under-valued when matched up against it's peers. My gut feeling is once these few issues are washed away this stock will rise.
COP: Holds a strong array of natural gas positions which could be the future of energy after the recent series of events. Adding to this they are strong globally and posses many valuable assets that will strengthen the companies prospects.
VALE: Vale is the safest bet in my opinion of all the big mining giants. Vale has made smart moves in reducing its reliance on China by expanding its shipments to other countries. In 2010 China accounted for 32% of Vale's revenues compared to 45% in 2009. Overall lower exposure to China and increased diversification of exported materials will strengthen Vale's long-term appeal and lower it's earnings volatility.
STD: String of moves recently have been incredible in strengthening the banks position and reducing its Spanish Exposure. Being a high yielding bank with large growth potential I am very impressed with the resilience in the past few months and believe it's a strong buy.
BAC: Bank of America has so many levers to grow; mortgages, credit cards, investment banking, capital marketing, etc. I like what their CEO is doing and it's the cheapest of all large cap banking stocks. I think it's a great investment and a stock you need to buy today. I say $24 is where we heading.
C: Hedge funds jumping in and government on its way out. Expect this stock to surprise in the next year and longer. $6-$7 is not that far away.
GS: Love this stock long-term, however the media loves to hate on Goldman more than anything else. Despite that once this SEC case blows over and a new management is but in place this stock will soar to new high levels. Goldman never seems to be stopped and their string of success won't be halted by some SEC case.
JPM: hey are the best run bank on Wall Street led by a great management team. They are similar to BAC and should benefit from all the same products. With $40 billions in reserves and a strong book expect this stock to rise.
PRU: Like this stock a lot got a great global diversification of assets and has many different levers to growth. Worth taking a look at as a potential long-term investment.
FCX: after a sharp drop in April, this one's poised to pop back through $100, perhaps as high as $125 by the end of 2010. Copper and Gold all in one – what more can you ask for?
CLF: Strong earnings will continue to drive this one higher.
BHP: China & India Inc. will continue to devour ore. Enough said!
IBM: Performing well on all cylinders, plus strong dividend make this a stalwart stock.

So what does she think of new judges Jennifer Lopez, 41, and Steven Tyler, 62? "I haven't had the opportunity to speak with them, but I think they're both fantastic," says Abdul, 48. "They're seasoned veterans. They know what they're doing. I think they're going to add a really good dimension."
As far as the playful love/hate relationship she had with Simon Cowell, 51, who ended his run as judge last season, Abdul says the two stay in touch. "That voice is permanently embedded in my brain," she jokes.
She's currently producing and serving on the expert panel for the CBS reality dance competition Live to Dance, but Abdul will always cherish her Idol memories.
"I have nothing but a debt of gratitude [for the show]," she says. "There are aspects of it that I will always treasure."

The Detroit Pistons are only a little more than a quarter of the way through their season, but they already have a startling number of bad losses under their belts.
There have been nights when they've been run out of the gym. Against Boston, Portland, Miami and New Orleans, the outcomes were decided by halftime.
There have also been the close games, where late leads have slipped away. Friday's loss to the Timberwolves is a prime example.
Then there have been the collapses. The 21-point, second-half lead in Chicago comes to mind.
But the Pistons' collapse against the Toronto Raptors is the new leader in the clubhouse for the most disappointing loss of the season.
You can get the gory details here.
The short version is the Pistons came out on fire, scoring 70 points in the first half for only the second time since the 2002-03 season. They expanded their lead to 25 halfway through the third, before completely melting down in the final quarter.
The Raptors capped off the improbable rally when Jerryd Bayless gave them the lead on a three-pointer with 1:21 remaining.
Starting in place of an injured Jose Calderon, Bayless terrorized the Pistons. Never mind that he had been averaging around nine a night since being traded to the Raptors in late November - he definitely had no problem slicing through Detroit's defense.
Bayless finished the night 10-12 from both the floor and the free-throw line, matching his career-high with 31 points. He also chipped in seven assists and five rebounds.
Bayless wasn't the only Raptor with a hot hand. Teammates Andrei Bargnani, DeMar DeRozan and Leandro Barbosa each shot the ball at least 13 times and converted on better than half those attempts. As a team, Toronto shot 62.9 percent from the floor.
Still, despite Toronto's hot shooting, it's unbelievable the Pistons let this one get away. Detroit shot over 50 percent, scored more points in the paint, attempted 19 more field goals, hauled in 10 more offensive rebounds and committed six less turnovers.
Tayshaun Prince didn't have any answers after the game.
"That's typical what's been going on this season, but I can't explain it," Prince said.
For those regularly watching the games, the Pistons clearly lack the intangibles - things like heart, effort and chemistry. Yeah, Detroit doesn't have the best talent, but neither do the Raptors or Timberwolves. In the end, Toronto and Minnesota just wanted the games more.
Detroit simply doesn't play well together, and when faced with adversity, they crumble.
Whether it's blowing late leads, getting pushed around from start to finish or Richard Hamilton losing his composure and getting ejected, this team doesn't have the moxy to bounce back. They don't have the pride to fight through tough times. They're letting the rest of the league push them around.
Attitude and chemistry aren't going to turn around overnight. They're long-term problems ingrained in this roster. As the bad losses continue to mount, it's obvious the Pistons are in for a painful season.
Pistons waste a pair of special performances
Ben Wallace deserved to be the story of this game.
After being rested against the Timberwolves, Wallace gave fans a night to remember on Saturday. He finished with 14 rebounds, five steals, four assists and a career-high 23 points.
Don't worry. You read it right. Ben Wallace scored 23 points. The final points actually came on a three-pointer. Did you head just explode?
Sadly, it was a meaningless shot in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, but an appropriate close to a strange basketball game.
It's important to note, this wasn't Wallace getting a bunch of tip-ins on the offensive glass. Yeah, there were a couple of those, but he was also doing some nice work in the post.
Wallace had an up-and-under layup, hit a short fade-away as the shot clock expired, and knocked down a few mid-range jumpers. At the end of the third-quarter the Pistons were essentially going to Wallace every trip down the court.
Unfortunately, the effort loses value in defeat. Wallace would be the first one to tell you that. What a shame.
Oddly enough, Wallace's late three-pointer set another career-high, this one for teammate Rodney Stuckey. He picked up the assist on the play, giving him 12 on the night.
Stuckey was making some of his best passes of the season against the Raptors. He found Jason Maxiell on a wraparound feed in the lane for an easy bucket, he set Wallace up in the lane three times and he found shooters open on the perimeter all night long. He also added 23 points in the loss.
The problem with Stuckey continues to be consistency. We get these flashes, teasing his ability to be a quality point guard, only to be followed up with a pair of three-assist performance.
In 14 games in November, Stuckey had as many games with four or fewer assists as he did with five or more.
The Pistons need Stuckey to be a distributor. It can't be said enough. When this team is moving the ball, they're far more efficient on offense.
This is Stuckey's fourth year. It's time to stop showing flashes and start showing consistency. If he can't, the Pistons absolutely have to go in another direction, whether that means letting Stuckey leave in free agency or simply moving him to another position.
Amir Johnson is up to his old tricks
Former Piston Amir Johnson is such a curious case. He clearly has loads of talent. He's an efficient scorer, grabs boards and blocks shots. His PER turns heads year after year.
Yet, he continues to be plagued with foul issues. He's drawing a career-worst 3.6 personal fouls per game this season. It's limiting him to 21.8 minutes per night.
Against the Pistons, Johnson picked up four personals. He had to be yanked early in the first and third quarter because of foul trouble.
If Johnson is unable to get this issue under control in the next few seasons, we're never going to see him reach his full potential in the NBA.

UPS (NYSE: UPS ) was an early entrant into the national move to use more natural gas in transportation vehicles, experimenting with the fuel for more than 10 years, and making a big buy of trucks powered by engines from nat-gas engine pioneer Westport Innovations (NASDAQ: WPRT ) back in 2011. As we see this week, UPS's enthusiasm for the technology hasn't waned.
On Tuesday, UPS announced plans to buy 700 new liquefied natural gas vehicles, and build four refueling stations for them, by the end of next year. With 1,000 nat-gas trucks on the road already (not all in the U.S.), UPS says that once this project is complete, it will own one of the most extensive LNG-powered truck fleets in the United States.
UPS explains its enthusiasm for the fuel, in part, because of the simple fact that LNG is cheap. Natural gas prices are roughly 30% to 40% lower than the cost of imported diesel, and likely to get cheaper as nat-gas production expands. In addition, environmental advocates point out that nat-gas carbon dioxide emissions are about 25% less pollutive than those of diesel.
Financially speaking, UPS notes that building the refueling stations to power its 700 new trucks will cost it a bit more than $18 million. The price of the new trucks themselves was not disclosed.

I have been privileged to witness some exciting sporting events in my short career as the sports editor for the Barrow County News. I have witnessed close calls and quick comebacks. I have seen cool catches and cruel kills (in volleyball). It has been a fun time.
However, in all of that, the greatest thing I have seen has not been in a court of play or a grassy field. The three-pointers and the hail marys have been exciting, but nothing like the greatest joy I have experienced so far in this job.
Easily my favorite event to cover so far has been the signing of student athletes to their future colleges. I have seen two softball players and a wrestler sign with schools for the chance to keep playing the sport they love, and I have to tell you folks just how great a sight that is.
There is a fervor in youth to follow dreams that some of us either lose later in life or maybe never knew when we had the chance, but these young adults have fought tooth and nail for the right to follow their dreams, and they ought to be applauded for it. While I was never athletic enough to go to college for a sport, I can say that attending UGA was my dream, and I am thrilled to have lived that dream out. Now I have new dreams, and knowing that I achieved one so great as that in the past has helped me to believe I can do it again.
That is the same optimistic hope I wish for these young students as they embark on a four or five-year journey that will in many ways define the rest of their lives. What a privilege that must be for them!
Some of you reading this may be high school students or younger who have a similar dream. If you haven't been paying close attention to the articles I've written on these young athletes, let me recap for you. The key to making it where they are is hard work. Sure, talent goes a long way, but not nearly as far as your effort will.
It takes effort and it takes a good measure of restraint. All three coaches I have talked to about their future athletes have said the same thing. One of the main reasons they looked at that student was because of their proper behavior and attitude outside of the gym or the field. They are interested in finding good people, not just good athletes.
The best thing that you can do for yourself is to work hard and do right. Be good people, then be good athletes. If you can't be a good person and a good athlete, make the wise choice.
Some of you reading this are well beyond high school or college, but you still have a dream you want to follow. What's stopping you? The effort? Some perceived lack of talent or skill? Forget that. Forget those roadblocks you put in front of yourself and go after what you want. Become who you want to be.
I know I am making it sound easy, but you and I both know how far from simple this task really is. It could be the hardest thing you've ever done to break away, make a change and follow a new life, but it that's because it's worth it.
I leave you with this final quote that a good friend of mine put on Facebook a few days ago that made me think long and hard about what I am doing with my own life, and I hope it lends some thought to each of you today.
Ernest Nightingale once said, "Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway." At least I assume he said it. You never can tell with these internet posts.
I don't mean to get philosophical or morbid with you as you read this over your Sunday morning coffee in your flannel pajamas at the breakfast table (assuming you read this in the 1950's on a Sunday morning), but there's truth there. The time is going to pass us by no matter what. Would you rather grasp it and make the most of it, or would you let it pass by like a crowded bus saying, "I'll get the next one."
Paul in the book of Ephesians reminds us to "Redeem the time, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." (Eph. 5:16, paraphrased) I could spend at least three columns or more talking about this phrase and the importance of the word "redeem" here because, well, I've done it.
For now, just ask yourself what you're doing to redeem the time. These young athletes are making the most of their time and their days by chasing a worthy goal of self-improvement, both physically and otherwise. I won't pretend that physical fitness is the most worthy goal in the world, but the cultivation of skill and the driving after a great goal is something to be praised.
So let's honor these students for their accomplishments and let's remember them as we go after our own goals and dreams. What are you doing with the time today? It's passing by either way.

Soul & Motown Tribute Night
The region's largest art and design market is back in Middlesbrough at the weekend.
The Designers Marketplace will take over the Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt on Saturday, July 30 from 11am to 4pm.
The popular event will showcase the work of more than 30 of the region's most talented artists and designers, selling their exquisite hand-produced products – minus art gallery and boutique mark-ups.
Visitors have the chance to buy directly from the designers themselves – ranging from international textile award winners and talented local photographers to up-and-coming design graduates and the people behind brands currently selling on some of the UK's largest shopping websites.
Bargains up for grabs will include fashion, accessories, art, photography, textiles, prints, ceramics, homewares and much much more.
The Designers Marketplace has been running for nearly three years and now represents more than 130 of the region's leading creative businesses.
The Marketplace was launched in Middlesbrough and visits the Town Hall twice a year where it has developed a reputation as the place to pick up arts, crafts and fashion bargains.
The artisans also make a bi-monthly visit to Newcastle in partnership with the Biscuit Factory, and dates in Leeds are in the pipeline.
Founder and organiser Helen Stevens said: "The markets are growing in popularity and are the equal of anything elsewhere in the country.
"We have a fantastic creative sector in this region, and the Designers Marketplace is a great outlet for some of our leading talents to show off their work and for visitors to snap up a real bargain."
The event is supported by Middlesbrough Council and the European Regional Development Fund 2010 – 2013.

WASHINGTON - In just four days voters in North Carolina and Indiana will head to the polls to cast their vote for the Democratic nominee. And with neither candidate able to win the nomination outright - each vote will be crucial.
The high gas prices and sluggish economy has the candidates pulling out all the stops.
Today, we focus on North Carolina - a state that many pundits say Obama has a great chance to win. But it may be closer than people think.
Will It Ever End?
The race for the White House grows ever on, with 134 delegates up for grabs in North Carolina.
"I'm surprised it's been as close as it's been for as long as it's been," said Eric Heberlig, Ph.D. a political science professor at UNC Charlotte.Voter registration has swelled. More than one million North Carolinians are expected to vote Tuesday -many of them already casting their ballots with "one-stop early voting."
But nevertheless, the candidates and their campaigns have set up shop in North Carolina, crisscrossing the Tar Heel State trying to sway voters. And the crowds are coming.
"I saw Hillary Clinton last night, and I came to see Barack today," NC resident Tammy Beck said.
The economy is on everyone's mind.
"There are a lot of people here in the Catawba Valley region that have been affected because so many furniture factories here have gone out of business," Rev. Marcus Williams said.
Analysts say the state is the perfect place for Obama to win.
"It's a state that works in favor of Obama with a large African American population of young, highly educated Democrats," said the UNCC professor.
But Clinton could make some inroads here too.
Don't Count Clinton Out Yet
"Even with Hillary we may still see a high turnout from women," Pearl Ford, Ph.D., a political science professor at Johnson C. Smith University professor said.
"I want her," said one North Carolina resident. "She has the strength, she has the experience, she has the heart, and she's a woman, she's a woman, she's a woman."
And as for the undecided voter - they could be key.
"I haven't decided yet," said NC voter Lindy Wilson. "All of the candidates have attributes I like."
Most polls show Obama with a double digit lead, but Clinton just received a huge endorsement from the state's Governor Mike Easley.
And the Jeremiah Wright controversy could hurt Obama too.
"I think it was expected that at some point he would make statements to defend himself. It was a matter of when and how he would do it. The issue will probably not go away," Pearl said.
So will this state turn the tide in a very heated contest?
Heberlig said, "I think Democratic party leaders have hoped throughout that the voters would decide this thing, and what the voters have showed us is to this point, they're evenly split.
So far, the road to The White House has been full of twists and turns for Clinton and Obama, but the North Carolina primary could be the ultimate game changer if Clinton can win in a state where Obama is expected to do well.

Hi All,
Does anyone know about, or have they noticed, a difference in the
behavior of kdesu in SUSE 11.0 / KDE3.5.9?
In the past few releases (possibly starting at 10.2), if you had a user
set up in sudo, when launching a command that required root, you would
use *your* password, not root's to run the command.
However in 11.0, this behavior seems to have disappeared. I now have to
enter the root password to run YaST (for example).
Has something intentionally changed in 11.0? Is there something I have
to set to regain this behavior?
NB 1. My /etc/sudoers conf from my previous 10.3 install had to be
recreated as I had some NOPASSWD entries that no longer worked (other
entries seemed OK). There was a sudoers.rpmnew file that I used as the
base and copied my entries from my old sudoers over. It all seems to
work fine again now. I haven't worked out what the actual difference was
as yet.
I have set group wheel to be able to sudo all commands. ie:
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
groups david
david : users dba dialout video wheel www domadm
I can sudo commands (with my password). I can't kdesu commands with my
password though.

I completely agree with all of you with regards to her being defensive, and that this is a 'fight' I will never win because of her mode of income. The issue began when I posted on facebook that I am excited to be receiving my grassfed beef and pastured eggs. The post was a general post to promote my friend's farm, and did not mention anything other than that. I have received a few emails from the family member since then and she immediately jumped on the defensive, which in my mind is a sign that I am right and there is no need to battle.
Having said that, I ignored the first few emails, and then she send me a long winded email about the propaganda and that I am hurting her niece and my kids...I would prefer to stay out of is as I know that she is feeling threatened and it is a pointless argument.
Thanks for the comments... and it does taste better.

Finally, just a month or so ago, I decided that, now that I live in a place that HAS actual seasons, my front yard could use some appropriate ornamentation. So, on my weekly trip to Meijer, I got myself a new friend.
|Meet George
But, you see, that very well may be the problem. Maybe I say this every year, but I've been living in Michigan for eighteen years now, and it seems this has been the oddest fall EVER. On Monday, high temps didn't make it to 40. This coming Sunday, they're forecasting 68 degree highs. Frost one morning - shorts another. What season is it anyway?
|Even the trees are confused!
Trust me, I don't mind it. The variety is nice. And it's certainly better than a foot of snow in early November. But I'm not sure George agrees. It seems, for the past couple days, he's been pretty upset. So upset, in fact, that he can't face me.
|I've repeatedly turned him "face out," but he won't stay that way!
The good part is - no matter which way he's facing, he's still smiling.

Exxon Mobil Corp. has replaced BP Plc in a partnership with Russia's OAO Rosneft to drill in the Arctic, one of the last untapped oil frontiers in the world.
In exchange for access to potentially billions of barrels of crude in the Arctic Ocean, Exxon will grant Rosneft stakes in Texas shale fields and deep-water projects in the Gulf of Mexico, the companies said today in a statement.
Exxon and Rosneft plan to spend an initial $3.2 billion exploring Russia's Arctic offshore and the Black Sea. In turn, Rosneft may become the first major Russian oil producer to develop U.S. deposits, gaining experience in deep-water and shale oil.
Russia is seeking access to more international technology to help it exploit complex crude deposits in increasingly harsh environments as traditional resources, such as western Siberian fields, are declining. The Exxon agreement will help Rosneft meet Putin's challenge that Russian producers maintain the country's world-leading output of 10 million barrels a day for at least a decade.
Russia's government will support the Exxon-Rosneft alliance "in every way," said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who presided over the deal today in Sochi on Russia's Black Sea coast.
'Life Blood'
Exxon beat out its biggest international oil rivals to win a piece of the Russian Arctic. Exxon replaces BP Plc as Rosneft's partner in the Arctic Kara Sea after the U.K. explorer's billionaire partners in the TNK-BP Holding venture blocked the agreement this year.
"Access to new resources is the life blood of oil companies," said Fadel Gheit, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. in New York. "Russia is one of the largest resources that's still available. It's like Exxon is now dating the girlfriend BP had a few months ago."
Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Chevron Corp. also have said they wanted to explore partnerships with Rosneft in the Arctic.
The world's biggest oil companies are competing for new reserves as crude-rich countries shut out foreign operators and the easiest-to-reach hydrocarbons are exhausted.
Mark Salt, spokesman for London-based BP, declined to comment on the agreement.
100 Billion Barrels
The three blocks in the Kara Sea fields that are part of this agreement are about the size of the U.K. North Sea and may hold as much as 100 billion barrels of oil equivalent, according to BP.
Exxon Chief Executive Officer Rex Tillerson attended the signing with Neil Duffin, the company's president for development, and Rosneft CEO Eduard Khudainatov. Duffin oversaw Exxon's deepwater Angolan projects, such as Kizomba, which have been big some of the company's biggest producers in the past decade.
"I take it as a strong statement of Russian intentions to create competitive conditions to attract investments," Tillerson told reporters.
The agreement allows Rosneft a chance to participate in Exxon's unconventional fields in the U.S., where oil and gas are extracted by cracking open rocks with sand, water and chemicals. The two companies said they'll study the potential for similar fields in western Siberia.
Deep Pockets
As one of the largest oil companies in the world, Exxon brings experience and deep pockets to the alliance, said Brian Youngberg, an analyst at Edward Jones in St. Louis who has a "hold" on Exxon shares and owns none.
"To partner up with a AAA-rated energy company makes sense for Rosneft as they seek to diversify outside of Russia," Youngberg said. Credit agencies rate Exxon AAA, their highest grade.
Putin said the investment needed to develop all the fields involved and associated infrastructure may reach as much as $500 billion.
"It's scary to utter such huge figures," he said. Exxon, based in Irving, Texas, will be a "reliable, strategic and good partner," he said.
Exxon and Rosneft on Jan. 27 signed a preliminary accord for a $1 billion exploration project in the Black Sea's deepwater Tuapse Trough.
Shell, Chevron
Shell, Europe's largest oil company, was described by Putin in May as a potential "comfortable partner" to replace BP in the Kara Sea. Shell, which works with state-controlled OAO Gazprom in Siberia and Sakhalin Island, agreed to further expand cooperation with the gas producer in June.
Chevron pulled out as Rosneft's partner in the Val Shatskogo exploration project in Russia's Black Sea this year. Chevron is "looking to partner with Rosneft on other opportunities in the Arctic or elsewhere in Russia," said Kurt Glaubitz, a company spokesman.

Use this bib necklace tutorial from Emi Harrington to make a trendy flower necklace with materials from a dollar store. This dollar store craft shows you how to turn inexpensive faux flowers into a pretty necklace.
While this project is made entirely out of budget materials, it will be hard for anyone else to know that this project was crazy cheap to make. The best crafts make cheap makes look like a million dollars, and this is one of those dollar store crafts that does just that. This DIY necklace is as hip as it is easy to make. The mixed media combo of a faux flower and fancy pearls really achieve an eclectic flair that will easily update and upgrade and outfit.
- Pearl choker
- ½ inch ribbon
- Dollar store flower from a bouquet
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Beads (6 or 7 pearls, and about 40 small beads) OR any buttons or beads of your choice.
For more beautiful handmade flower projects and how to sew a flower tutorials, check out our collection of 81+ Printable Flower Patterns.
- Cut ribbon into 2 lengths of 24 inches each.
- Close the choker clasp, and position it on one side. (In this way it will be covered by the flower.)
- Fold one strip of ribbon in half, pass the folded end around the choker, and pass the ends of the ribbon through the fold. Pull up to attach the ribbon to the choker. Repeat with the other strip of ribbon on the opposite side of the choker. (Note: fold the choker so that one strand hangs below the other, refer to the photo.)
- Prepare the flower:
Fold the flower in half, and grasp in your non-dominant hand. Remove the bottom base of the flower. Cut the stem that protrudes off with scissors. Apply hot glue into the center of the remaining stem, and all around on the bottom layer of the flower petal. When the glue has cooled, open the layers, and apply a dot of glue between each layer so the flower won't fall apart.
- Hot glue a pearl in the center of the flower, then hot glue a circle of pearls around the center pearl. Apply hot glue between the pearls, and drop small beads into the hot glue.
- Hot glue a brooch pin on the back of the flower. Pin the flower on one side of the necklace. Tie the ribbons around the neck.

DAYTONA BEACH -- With a mere 6 percent of the 66,166 registered voters taking part in the electoral process, Tuesday's primary turnout for the dist. 2 school board seat could go down as among the lowest in modern times with only 3,390 bothering to vote.
Still, every vote cast matters and that's what put Daytona Beach resident and Bethune-Cookmn University educator Ida Duncan Wright on top with 1,538 of those votes or 38.84 percent. Kathy Williams finished second with 1,023 votes or 25.83 percent to force a runoff election because Wright didn't quite reach the 50 percent-plus 1 threshold to win it outright.

Bancrofts' Statement on Dow Jones Bid
Text of the statement by the Bancroft family on News Corp.'s bid for Dow Jones & Co.
BOSTON, May 31, 2007 -- Following a special meeting of the Board of Directors of Dow Jones & Company held at the request of the Bancroft Family directors to discuss matters related to the recent proposal by News Corporation to acquire the Company, the Family today issued the following statement:
"As we have been since 1902, the Bancroft Family remains resolute in its commitment to preserve and protect the editorial independence and integrity of The Wall Street Journal, as well as the leadership, strength and vitality of The Journal and all of the other publications and services of Dow Jones.
"Since first receiving the News Corporation proposal, the Family has carefully considered and discussed among ourselves and with our advisors how best to achieve that overarching objective, while serving the best interests of the Company's various constituencies.
"After a detailed review of the business of Dow Jones and the evolving competitive environment in which it operates, the Family has reached consensus that the mission of Dow Jones may be better accomplished in combination or collaboration with another organization, which may include News Corporation.
"Accordingly, the Family has advised the Company's Board that it intends to meet with News Corporation to determine whether, in the context of the current or any modified News Corporation proposal, it will be possible to ensure the level of commitment to editorial independence, integrity and journalistic freedom that is the hallmark of Dow Jones.
"The Family also indicated its receptivity to other options that might achieve the same overarching objective."
There can be no assurance that the dialogue with News Corporation or any other party will result in the negotiation, or the desire of Family members to pursue the negotiation, and execution of any agreement regarding the Company or in any transaction.
References herein to the Bancroft Family are to various individual Family members and trusts for the benefit of Family members. Ultimate voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of the Company held or controlled by such individuals and trusts resides with those individuals and the trustees of the trusts.

NAIROBI, Kenya — The cause of the battery problems that have grounded Boeing's 787 Dreamliners may never be known, a company engineer said Thursday.
FAA order
Federal regulators are telling airlines they can fly Boeing's 787 Dreamliners again as soon as they replace its problematic lithium ion batteries with a revamped battery system.The Federal Aviation Administration safety order lifting the grounding became official after it was posted online Thursday.It applies to all U.S. airlines, but only one of them, United, has 787s. It has six. The FAA estimated the repair costs for those planes at $2.8 million.There are 50 Dreamliners in service worldwide, and Boeing has purchase orders for 840 more. Newly delivered versions will come with the revamped battery system.Separately, Poland's national airline, LOT, said Thursday it will resume flights on its two 787s on June 5 and is selling tickets for the flights. LOT's 787s will at first fly from Warsaw to Chicago, and later to New York, Toronto and Beijing.Associated Press
The engineering leader for the 787, Richard Horigan, said the root cause of smoldering batteries experienced by the two 787s may never be known, because the evidence was destroyed by heat.
"When we say a root-cause we want to know exactly what happened, what size particles caused the cell to vent ... and we may never get there because the evidence is destroyed. When these cells vent there's a lot of heat damage on those cells," Horigan said.
He also said that all potential causes of the battery fire have been eliminated with the new, redesigned battery system. He said it was not the first incident where a problem that caused a malfunction in an aircraft has not been identified definitively, but a solution covering the problem had been found.
Horigan cited the 1996 crash of TWA flight 800. The plane crashed after a fuel-tank explosion, but the cause was never identified.
After the plane exploded off the coast of Long Island, killing all 230 people aboard, investigators ultimately pinned the cause on flammable vapors in one of the Boeing 747's fuel tanks.
Investigators were never able to conclusively identify the source of the spark that ignited the vapors.
Horigan said that in that case, plane experts came up with a solution that "fully encapsulated and eliminated all possible causes of fuel tank fire."
"So it's not uncommon where you have events like this where you don't get a definitive root cause but you have sufficient confidence in your design solution to know that whatever the root cause is, you've identified it and addressed it," he said.
Boeing assembles the 787 at factories in North Charleston and Everett, Wash.
Air safety authorities grounded the jets after incidents with smoldering batteries occurred aboard two planes in January. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has approved Boeing's redesigned battery system, which the company said sharply reduces the risk of fire.
Boeing said Wednesday that deliveries of the 787 should resume in early May. Most of the 50 planes that have been delivered to airlines will be fixed by the middle of the month.
Boeing South Carolina delivered four planes, all to Air India, before the grounding order.
The Post and Courier contributed to this report.

South Carolina Stingrays goalie Jeff Jakaitis was named the ECHL Goalie of the Year for the second time in his career, the league announced on Thursday.
Jakaitis, who won the award during the 2011-12 season with the Gwinnett Gladiators, becomes only the second goalie in ECHL history - joining Scott Stirling - as the only two-time winner of the award. This also marks the second straight season a South Carolina goalie has won the award and the third time in franchise history. Ryan Zapolski captured the honor last season and Todd Ford won it during the 2009-10 season.
Jakaitis finished the regular season third in the ECHL with 24 wins and .924 save percentage, fifth with a 2.16 goals-against average and tied for sixth with three shutouts. The Rochester, Minn., native compiled a 24-12-1-2 record in 40 games and was named the ECHL Goaltender of the Month in October and December.
"Jeff is very deserving of the award and you can see the kind of respect he gets from coaches around the league," said Stingrays head coach Spencer Carbery. "He played at an extremely high level all season, and in the middle of the season when we had injuries and call-ups, Jeff probably won a few games for us that maybe we shouldn't have. When we would have a breakdown, Jeff always seemed to be there to bail us out."
Jakaitis, who was named to the All-ECHL First Team last week, allowed two goals or less in 28 of his 40 appearances this season.
Jakaitis, 30, had season-ending knee surgery last week and will not play in the Kelly Cup playoffs.
"I feel terrible for Jeff on so many levels because he desperately wants to make a long playoff run and win a championship," Carbery said. "He's the ultimate team guy and to miss the playoffs this season I know is very painful for him."

The Oscar- and Grammy-winning performer – looking super slim in a black top and black jeans – took the stage to sing "Inseparable" with finalist Candice Glover.
Though Hudson, who was shockingly eliminated from the top seven of season 3, belted out high note after glorious high note, she let Candice, 23, have her a moment in the spotlight at the end of the song when she stood back and said, "Sing it, Candice."
And sing it she did! Candice held her own, hitting the final notes of the Natalie Cole song.
The judges ate it up – and were out of their seats in a standing ovation.
Host Ryan Seacrest summed it up: "Moments like that," he said.

From a letter to novelist John Dos Passos: "Remember to get the weather in your god-damned book—weather is very important." To editor Maxwell Perkins: "Ninety-five percent of The Sun Also [sic] was pure imagination. I took real people in that one and I controlled what they did." To reporter Lillian Ross: "I...threw away about 100,000 words [from To Have and Have Not] which was better than most of what [was] left in."

3 blade prop on a collet is quieter.
Also running on 2 cells with a bigger prop might work.
Just look don't touch - seems to apply to planes also these days... I shouldn't jinx myself so badly, but I have to say, I can't crash my planes up properly, and I need to throw one away before getting another one...NO SPACE...
But would be interested to know what car you have that you are so pleased with, will certainly not argue with you about it.

It's way off topic but on this ONE and only occasion I'll chance my luck in the hope that nobody complains this is not about AXN's
OK, I'll take a risk and let you know it's a 1991 Toyota Soarer (also known as a Lexus SC 430 in America). Over here in Oz (where cars are pretty expensive) they were never available new but were brought in (used) as grey imports starting about 13 years ago. Originally these luxury cars were sold new for about $90,000 AU in Japan but when I bought mine 12 years ago, I paid $15,000.
Having had all manner of cars including a few BMW's, the Soarer leaves them all standing (in quality and to a degree, in performance).
But here's the kicker- NOW, over here, you can pick a good one up for $2000 -$3000 and know it'll still have years left in it.
Just out of sheer interest, try googling it and you'll see a great shape and specs.
OK, Back to the AXN- Has anyone got any advice on my idea about extending the ailerons?
Here's one and if you look at the guy's videos you can see it in flight but this video is just what it looks like.
Question though:
I've seen videos of others with a decent roll rate that was achieved by greater aileron travel. Why not do that? Seems easier.
How much aileron travel do you get now?
Why do you want to extend them ? I know they are not too efficient, but the rudder on the other hand is very efficient. So my advice if you want quicker reactions from your axn, is to either mix in rudder to the aileron channel, or just use the rudder instead of aileron.
My guess is that if you want efficient ailerons you'll be better off flattening the wing instead of extending the ailerons.
Anyway, off topic - interesting choice of car, probably hardly available in Norway, but toyota has a great reputation here. I'll try not to derail the CF-thread, so no more cartalk

Wing inserts
Hey guys Im going to put my axn together so i can remove wings for transport, I realise that i need to glue the wing inserts in that hold the spar. My question is whats the best thing to do with the servo lead, do i leave it in place and if the servo ever fails try pry out the insert or put the lead on the outside. I dont want to compromise structural integrity.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Yes glue the spar covers.
Run the servo lead where it should go.
You can either glue one end of the spar into one wing or not ... plan for a wing holding mechanism after you have flown it a bit (the wing is nice and tight for the first dozen flights when removing it each time) . Lots of good ideas earlier in this thread for wing holding mechanisims.
If the servo fails it is not hard to remove th wire and servo ... it is foam it has no structural intergity
Do a nice job of puting it together and and then ... fly it ... worry about failures and structural integrity when and if they occur.

I have a lot of flights on my AXN and had no failures of any kind with the servos or electronics. However I always pull the servo leads out of the spar slots. I make a small groove along the wing and tape the wire into it. The only failure I have had so far is when the motor mount broke loose at around the 40th flight. My wings are very loose so i put velcro on the 2 wing stops inside the fuselage and on the wing. I fly my AXN vigorously and the velcro as small as it is has held. I just got a second AXN and on this one I installed round magnets on the end of the wings to hold them together.

Still Undecided
Hi guys,
I'm looking for some advice and perhaps suggestions.
I've not actually flown this type of plane (or any plane) in real life yet, though have clocked a few hours on Phoenix simulator with the Multiplex Easystar with aileron mod. I find it quite relaxing and am looking to pick up a pusher/floater.
I've got a Hobbyking Mini Atom packed away for christmas to give me a taste and provided I don't dislike the experience I'll be looking at picking up something bigger in the Spring.
Currently i've been considering the AXN (which i'm leaning towards) the EZ2 and the Bixlers.
I do absolutely want Ailerons after trying the Easystar on the simulator, but I don't really want to have to do much, if any modding.
I plan on flying both line of sight and FPV (close/mid range) and want something fun to fly out of the box.
Looking at the PNF versions seems to narrow it down to the Bixlers and the AXN, the AXN from what i've heard is the better plane with it's stock parts, not requiring any modding. Are there any other options out there available for a similar price in the UK? Are the Bixlers perhaps better for my needs?
Don't forget to get help with your first few flights have fun

b) The pollen measures 998 grains.
c) The pollen measures 117 grains.
d) Folks around the Philadelphia region are sneezing their heads off.
Depending on whom you ask, or where you ask the question, the answer may be any or all of the above. But the only one that is undeniably true is "d."

A 3-year-old boy with minor bleeding problems had no plasma fibrinogen measured by both clottable assay and immunoprecipitation. Low normal fibrinogen levels were present in the mother and father. Markedly decreased plasma cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels were found in the father, proband's brother, and the paternal side of the kindred. The proband and his mother had normal plasma total cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels. These findings are compatible with autosomal dominant transmission of hypobetalipoproteinemia and autosomal recessive transmission of afibrinogenemia. Two members of the father's family had plasma cholesterol levels below the fifth percentile but elevated levels of fibrinogen (6.0 and 4.4 g/L). Both have symptomatic coronary heart disease. Finding coronary heart disease with very low cholesterol but elevated fibrinogen levels is consistent with fibrinogen levels being an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease.
