Madness! Christine Filipak tries to blackmail us.
Now, since you made the first attack, I suggest you make the first withdrawal. Kindly remove the torrent on TPB and the photo on bayimg and the other two photos, then I will email the FBI and Контент с признаками детской порнографии withdrawing our complaints. I will CC you on all coorespondence. In the case of the Friendly and FBI, I must enter the info online so I will take a snapshot of the entries. Then I will forward the complaints to the US-RU Embassy as they require,
Finally, remove the blog posts, and I will email Google. Then when you remove the Tweets I will email Twitter. Those posts are also part of the FBI reports and Friendly ru reports but as a show of good faith I will still email them separately.
That is my offer of truce. You started this whole mess. This is the only way you will get out of it. So, what is your final answer? Will you agree to lay down arms or do we continue to do battle? Personally, I hope you choose the former (that means the first option, lay down arms, quit, call truce).
Basically what she is doing is a lame attempt at internet censorship ("remove things I don't like") - with an obvious blackmailing used to enforce it ("or I will frame you as a child predator").
It is pretty clear she does not care about child abuse at all - she just uses it for her own little internet war. Child abuse is classified as a criminal offence (which is how things should be) - promising to withdraw complaints about it in exchange for something is illegal and just plain stupid.
Funny thing is that we have no control over TPB and other sites - yet she demands we remove stuff from there. And no, we did not upload anything anywhere - got hands full rebuilding Bisnoop, no time for nonsense like this.
She probably uploaded the content she is referring to (we did not check it, no idea what's there really). Trying to frame us we guess. Even if it is true and FBI will investigate - will be really funny when they trace Christine's IP address.
Also, if you really want to impress someone with Zee Russish Langvidzh - use online translation service at least: "Контент с признаками детской порнографии" means "Content with signs of child pornography", it's not a name of a law enforcement agency. :)
We're waiting for a visit from FBI, CIA, MI-6, MI-5, Mossad, Interpol, KGB, FSB and her "friend" named "deathdealer0000" who blogged in his (day-old) LJ about going to Russia - apparently to kill us or something. Scary stuff!
Update 1
Now we understand why she has sent quite pretentious email with just "Remember this day. You had your chance." in its text.
Christine tried to defame us, framing some guy (by a sad coincidence, he is not really related to our site) as a child predator - see here.
Pretty shocking how low some people would sink in an attempt at "revenge" for imaginary offences. It looks like a case for some sort of anger management therapy.
Guys from isoHunt.com - thanks for doing the right thing, such people should be ridiculed and stopped. And evicted from the internet.
Update 2
We're thinking about starting legal procedures in USA (on behalf of the person she tried to defame), as libel and public defamation are serious offences - and Ms. Filipak was kind enough to produce sufficient evidence for a lawsuit. Stay tuned.

haha! i love reading about this crap! yall have an awesome sense of humor!! these feuds are hilarious!! like i tell everyone who gets the idea: "dont fuck with torrent indexers. they'll play with you, make you look like a fool, then bury you". keep up the badass work guys!!!ReplyDelete
It's not like we're happy to do this - we're just trying to defend ourselves from this nonsense by making it public.
Lots of things to do, it's pity we have to waste time on this.
Rofl. I saw this on Isohunt and after reading the whole thing I just gotta add my support for you guys, this is the saddest thing I've ever seen haha. I bet she really believes she's lost money too. How many people DL'd her useless torrents, a total of 5? Guys, (Not bitsnoop personally, just DLers) maybe if you give them their $10 you owe they'll shut up. That is if you didn't just immediately delete after giving a listen, like the samples people listen to in record stores. XD What a ton of nonsense, people need to grow up.ReplyDelete
She should be locked up just for framing someone for being a child predator. I don't understand why people would even think about attempting to frame a person for something like this.ReplyDelete
Honestly does she not realize what a boon BT has been for unknown and young artists? Although some acts need to stay unknown.ReplyDelete
We've tried to point that out in one of the emails.
A quote from the reply: "We represent artists with talent, who, like every artist in the world, cannot afford to have people stealing their work. You cite other bands who you claim are happy with their situation of having their music downloaded for free. If that's true, good for them."
It's ridiculous that she proposed to frame you as a child molester. There are no words for such stupidity and complete disregard for abused children.ReplyDelete
And then she tries to say "oh it's a woman reaction." WTF. No decent woman would ever even dream up something like this -- she's a horrible, immoral harridan and I hope her business fails.

I just got through the collection of emails between Bitsnoop and Monolithic Graphics and links contained in them and further links from those links.
Took a while but after reading arguments from both sides, my unbiased opinion is that this Christine had a perfectly justifiable case until she started hurling threats (starting with Google) and ignorance of how Bitsnoop operates and copyright law in general. She had every right to ASK that links were taken down but then she goes into DEMANDING that hashes Bitsnoop has no control over be taken down.
The level of incompetence in using the Russell Williams persona to start spewing personal insults is indeed Monolithic. I wonder if Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski know what level of complete moron is representing them. This Christine has done more damage to their professional integrity than their music ever could (yes, I actually downloaded a taste of their "art"). It's really sad that "Nox Arcana" will now be more known for this internet battle than their music.
I would be offended by the comments made by this Christine woman that lumps me (and any other person that frequents P2P sites) in with pedophiles except for the fact that I've seen pictures of her and the ilk that she consorts with so I merely consider the source.
Hey! Do you guys accept commercial offers? Have sent about 2-3 emails, but still got no feedback from you. Don't want to seem apammy, but really want to cooperate with you.ReplyDelete
Hope to see your response asap.
Have a good day!

She has totally deserved the PCS she has got because she has paid attention to those areas of her programs.

Dear friends,
Welcome to the Hastings College!
As a young person growing up in Cambridge, Nebraska, the academic reputation of and community that is Hastings College drew me to campus as a student, where I became a member of the class of 1970. Just like today, caring faculty helped make sure I was ready to go out into the world and live a meaningful life, to go on to graduate school and to have a career where I could make a difference.
After serving on the Board of Trustees for more than five years, I joined the College staff as Vice President for Advancement, a position serving the Hastings College Foundation. Prior to joining the College, I spent 21 years as global Chief Operating Officer of Easter Seals, Inc., and before that founded a multi-state healthcare company that focused on physical therapy services.
Where else could this happen but Hastings College? It was Hastings College that prepared me so well for this fulfilling career. For that I am forever grateful.
All these years later, I am honored to be entrusted with carrying on our mission and ensuring the College and its students are well prepared for the future.
Warm regards,
Don Jackson
Hastings College President

text: I got the 15 oz weight from your earlier post, it does seem kinda heavy. I fixed a Remington 597 in 17hmr for a friend a while back. The bolt for it did seem suprisingly heavy for its size. Since you probably can have more than the 2" of bolt travel that the other 17hmr's have, can you use a lighter bolt and a rubber bumper? I found link to a guy who makes custom 10/22 mag bolts for the 17hmr and his are 17 oz.

text: I like to see labels on the quilts - it will make the quilt even more treasured in years to come. I have a quilt that is from the late 1800's. According to family legend my grandfather helped piece it when he was 5. I did have it appraised just to see if the story could be true and the appraiser agreed. The quilt is precious to me because I know the history - which could also come from a label. All artists should sign and date their work - whether by hand or machine.

You can get perfectly tight joints and smooth, clean, professional results when installing trim, even on bad walls. This article demonstrates seven tricks that the pros use to solve the most common problems—like closing gaps along wavy walls and making crisp joints at corners that aren't square.
These are tricks that even a novice can master. You'll get first-class results without hours of frustrating effort. While you sometimes only need one of these tips to solve a problem, often a combination of two or more will be required for polished results. But don't worry—they're all easy, fast and free.
Wavy walls and built-up corners.
Flex thin trim and glue it to follow wall contours.
Caulk gaps above thick trim.
When you lay baseboard against a wall and see gaps between the top of the trim and the drywall, it's usually because of a misaligned stud or a built-up ridge of taping compound over a joint. Both will create bulges that cause gaps. You'll also find the problem at outside and inside corners, again caused by built-up taping compound. While you can scrape off small lumps with a putty knife, you can't move studs or sand off the bulge of compound without creating a huge mess. It's almost always easier to adjust the trim rather than to attempt any wall fixes.
Solution 1: Most standard baseboards these days are 3-1/4 in. high and 3/8 in. thick, which makes them pretty doggone flexible. First hold the trim against the wall after you cut it to length, and look for gaps. If you see some, cut a few braces from 4- to 6-in. lengths of scrap baseboard and put 45-degree angles on the ends. Then apply construction adhesive at the top and bottom. Nail the trim to the studs and then tack the braces to the trim with 1-in.brads. Force the gaps closed with the scrap and tack the blocks to the trim. Leave it overnight to let the adhesive set, and then pry the blocks free. Fill the little holes when you fill the rest of the nailheads.
Solution 2: Thick (3/4-in.) board trim isn't flexible, so it's unlikely you'll be able to flex it against the wall as we show (see Solution 1), nor will glue hold it. The best solution is to simply fill any gaps with caulk. Select a premium acrylic latex caulk ($3-plus per tube) that says "paintable" on the label. Snip a hole in the spout no larger than 1/8 in. for the neatest job. Force the caulk into the gap and fill it a little higher than the top of the trim. Immediately wipe off the excess with a damp rag. The next day, paint the caulk to match the wall color. You'll be surprised how well even large gaps nearly disappear.
Tilted baseboards
Space the baseboards above floors to be carpeted
Fill the gap with blocks above vinyl or laminate floors
Baseboards, especially narrow ones, will frequently tilt toward the wall at the bottom. That's because the lower nub on thin trim can fall into the space between the drywall edge and the floor. In addition, the baseboard follows the tapered drywall edge near the floor. Taller baseboards usually aren't affected because they're high enough to rest against the flat drywall surface above. Don't worry about small tilts if they're noticeable only at inside corners (see "Tilted Inside Corners,"). Push the base firmly against the wall with your hand to determine how severe the tilts will be. If gaps appear between the top of the trim and the wall, you'll need to use the solutions we show.
Solution 1: Carpeting and pad together are at least 1 in. thick, meaning that it covers at least the lower 3/4 in. of baseboard, so there's no reason to rest base right on the floor. You can fix a tilted baseboard by raising it above the drywall gap. Cut a few 3/8- to 1/2-in. thick spacers (6-in. scraps of standard base will do). Lay them flat on the floor every few feet, and then cut the base to fit, rest it on the spacers and nail it into place. This technique also leaves more of that handsome baseboard showing above the carpet. One more thing: Carpet installers prefer to cut the carpet a little long and tuck the excess into the gap for a neater job.
Solution 2: When you're installing baseboards over vinyl, wood or plastic laminate floors, the best way to handle gaps between the drywall and the flooring is to shim the gap with narrow blocks of 1/2-in.wood. Any wood will work, but chunks of 1/2-in. scrap plywood are ideal. Cut the blocks and tuck them into the gap every few feet. There's no need to nail or glue them into place; just install the baseboard right over them, tight against the floor. It's best to keep the nails at the bottom of the base above the gap so they go through drywall, not air.
Tilted inside corners
Cut short test pieces to test gap width.
Drive screw for backing and adjust.
Trim at inside corners often won't meet evenly despite a perfectly cut cope. That's generally because corner tape joints don't always get filled or sanded all the way to the floor. (I know a few drywall finishers who don't like to bend over.) The tapered drywall edge can also cause tipping.
Solution: The key to a clean inside corner is to use test pieces to help you prepare the corner for the permanent base. Conduct this test before you nail any base permanently to the wall, because you'll just have to remove it if the corner joint is bad. Cut a perfect cope on the end of a foot-long chunk of baseboard, then use that and another short piece of base with a square end to check the corner. Be sure to push the pieces tight against the wall (especially at the bottom) to simulate the pressure the nails will exert. If the joint looks good, go ahead with the standard installation. But if there's a gap at the bottom of the joint, set aside the test pieces and drive a 2-in. screw about 1/2 in. above the floor and an inch or two away from the corner behind the square-ended piece. Sink the screw until the head is protruding slightly beyond the drywall, then check the joint again with the test pieces. Adjust the screw in or out and continue adjusting and testing until the joint is perfect. Then go ahead and install the baseboard.
Out-of-square outside corners
Test gap size with short pieces.
Recut miters.
Set saw angle greater than 45 degrees.
Only about half the time can you cut 45-degree miters on baseboards and have them meet perfectly on outside corners. Built-up drywall compound and imperfect corner bead installation or framing generally leave you with something greater or less than an exact 90-degree angle, and standard 45-degree miters won't work. Don't even bother trying to measure the angle with an angle finder. It's easier to find the miter angle simply by testing with scraps.
Solution: Start by cutting 45-degree miters on the ends of 10-in.-long base scraps. Put them together at the corner to check the fit. Recut both pieces at angles slightly more or less than 45 degrees as required. There's no magic to it—after a few cuts and test fits, you'll find the right angle. After you find the angle, save the miter saw setting and cut the finished base miters. And don't think you have to limit yourself to whole numbers. More often than not, the right angle will fall between the marked degrees on your saw. It's surprising how big a difference even a half-degree adjustment will make. This method also works great for finding miters for corners other than 90 degrees. Just guess an angle to start with, and with a little practice, you'll find the perfect miter angle for any corner in moments.
Imperfect splices
Cut 30-degree bevels.
Glue and nail.
While it's best to run a single length of base on a wall, at some point you'll be faced with splicing two pieces in the middle of a wall. When splicing, make the joint over a stud to keep the ends tight. But a simple butt joint is a poor technique because the glue won't hold the ends together, and it's tricky to line up the profiles perfectly when nailing. And to nail into the stud you have to nail close to the end of the trim, where the wood is prone to split.
Solution: The key to a clean splice is a "scarf" joint. Cut the first trim board about 1 in. short of a stud with a 30-degree bevel facing the room. Nail it into all the studs, then cut the second board with the same 30-degree bevel but in the opposite direction. Assemble the joint (no glue) to check the fit and recut a slightly greater or lesser angle as needed for a perfect joint. Smear wood glue on both bevels. Push the joint together, and then nail the overlapping piece into the stud near the joint. The overlapping bevel will clamp the one behind it against the wall. Wipe off the glue squeeze-out with a damp rag right away. If you're installing clear finished baseboards with a prominent grain pattern, select two pieces that match as closely as possible.
You can hand-nail trim—carpenters have been doing it for centuries—but there's no reason to anymore. The advantages of using a gun over nailing by hand are numerous. You'll be able to get trim placed exactly where you want it with one hand while you fasten it with the other. Pieces don't move around while you're nailing on them, and of course, no more hammer marks or nail setting. And with some trim gun models selling for under $100, it's worth getting one of your own. Of course you'll need a compressor, too, but kits that have hoses, fittings, a gun and a compressor are available at any home center for about $200. If you're not ready for the investment, we strongly recommend renting the tools (about $50 per day). Nail guns for trim come in three sizes for shooting 15-,16- and 18-gauge nails, with 15-gauge nails being the thickest. If you only buy one gun, get an 18-gauge unit that shoots nails ranging between 5/8 in. and 2-1/4 in. long. Although the thin nails won't be hefty enough for anchoring door or window jambs, they'll work fine for most modern trim. When you need extra strength, pull out the old hammer and hand-nail.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
It's also helpful to have an air-powered finish nailer
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Soccer is the principal sport in Nigeria by far and it's the tool that transcends religious, political, or ideological differences. The Nigerian national team has had a rich tradition of success on the world scene but has faltered lately due to weak youth programs, an essential fact for the development of soccer.
"Soccer is vital for Nigeria because it brings people together, improving our society," explains Paul Kato, responsible of Kato International Training Academy and Rush Nigeria. Kato adds: "soccer is the language that transcends religious, political, or ideological differences".
Nigeria Rush is working since 2009 to provide opportunities for their children. "The objective is to develop world class players despite the poor infrastructure," confesses Paul Kato. Rush Nigeria is fighting with illusion and talent against the corruption and inadequate infrastructure that holds back the full potential of the Nigerian Soccer.
However, there is always room for soccer and education, the main objective of Rush Soccer and Kato International Training Academy. Its immediate goal is to develop a resource center where their players can use to read books, connect to internet and further their education while giving them a solid soccer experience. Sustainability and agriculture are top objective as well. "The midterm goal is to establish a residential academy where students will get their education, learn soccer fundamentals, and contribute positively to their communities. Finally, the long term goal is to develop Nigeria's future leaders that value integrity, good governance, and develop a free and fair society," says Kato.
To accomplish these ambitious goals are needed money to develop the infrastructure, gear and soccer material to equip the players, and knowledge and experience to improve and grow the Rush Nigeria Academy. Some of the Nigerian players are attending Spring Arbor University and playing in the soccer team. Kato closely know their talent and affirms: "we have players capable of playing at the highest level, with a number of them easily fitting into the college level".

This weeks Friday Flashback is a song that you would not really think could be in a game like Grand Theft Auto, but hey that's the magic of Vice City! From the playlist of Emotion 98.3 we have "Wow" by Kate Bush, a song from her 1978 album "Lionheart". This is a song which is a soft ballad, relaxing but also powerful, and reminds me of driving around Vice Beach at night running people down, a somewhat ironic fit.

text: newbee here, i have 2 hives I started this spring, both have mites one 168 for 36 hrs the other 38. I purchased 4 treatments from a local supplier who sells individual packets instead of purchasing a full container. I received 4 sealed packets. I was not aware there are two strips in each package and you have to peel them apart so I cut open the package and put the content of two packages 4 pads on one of my hives...a day later there are a ton of dead mites on my trays and only a handful of dead bees...but I'm really worried about the queen. Anyone else make this mistake and still have bees to talk about?

during the time of Jerry Lawhorn's employment (June 1954 – May 1974)
with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska
I went to work for the Fish and Wildlife Service, Aircraft Division, back in the mid
50's. We had the awfullest collection of airplanes that you can imagine. I don't
know where we ever got some of them – the Cessna Airmaster – that was built way
back in '0ught-whatever' and we had a couple of Boeing YL-15's that hadn't been
smashed yet and a couple of Stinson L-1's (those were military surplus, the last
two) and we had a Gull Wing Stinson, "V-77" is the civilian designation for it. We
had some Piper Pacers and some Super Cubs. They were pretty early vintage – the
Pacers were l25 horsepower, and so were the Super Cubs. They were reasonable
for their day. By present day standards, they were a little bit underpowered but
they were the main stay at that time – before Statehood when things were kinda
rough and tumbly yet.
Early on we began to get some more surplus stuff. The Grumman Widgeons
– we ended up with four of those. They are the little brother to the
Grumman Goose that you normally see around here. When we got four of
them and ended up with a few dollars extra, we got three of those things
'supered.' That means we took off the old Ranger engines and had some
new late vintage 6-cyclinder Lycoming engines put on. The 260 horsepower
versus the 200 horsepower on the Ranger engines were more reliable and
made a pretty darn sprightly thing out of the Widgeon. It would just hum
right down the Inlet.
The next airplanes that we got lots of were the Grumman Goose's, G-21A.
That's the big brother to the Widgeon. It had the pair of big round motors
on it. The Navy and the Coast Guard were getting out of the Grumman
Goose business so we got a whole slough of those dudes. We ended up with
about 12 or 13 of them at one time – surplus – and they didn't cost us
anything but the gas and oil to get them up here.
After getting rid of those Grumman's, the military decided 'well we got a
whole bunch of those big round motors all overhauled in big steel cans, all
preserved, and we'll get rid of those too, so in the process of acquiring
government surplus, we rounded up 33 engines – big round motors for free,
just the freight to get them up here and all the Goose parts that the Navy was
getting rid of, we obtained a train carload of those too. So, other than
gasoline, that made an awful inexpensive airplane for us. We had enough of
them to where we could really do a good job. They were good suppliers for
base camps, with grub, tents, outboard motors and all the rest of the stuff it
takes for a base camp. The Goose worked out real well. It was good in
rivers and it was good in small lakes too. Of course, this was all before
We had a Twin Beech, Beech 18; this was the Director's airplane – Clarence
Rhode. It was his kinda private thing. I forget if we got it from the border
patrol or someone had confiscated it – you know how that goes. Anyway,
we ended up with it and we put long range tanks in it so the Director could
whiz around and check the various stations. We had a whole pot full of
people out in the bushes and various stations with game management agents
and they were strung from McGrath to Dillingham to Tok to Fairbanks to
Kodiak and naturally Juneau and so it made quite a plane for the Director to
run around in and visit all these folks and see what their problems were.
We also had a Piper J-5. It was a confiscated airplane. Sometimes violators
would donate nice airplanes, courtesy of the judge. We would get some nice
airplanes but some of them were in pretty grim shape and we would have to
overhaul them before they were worth much. We got permission to go
through military surplus down in Litch Field Air Base, Arizona – next to
Phoenix, the Navy base there. They had a bunch of DC-3's that they were
going to surplus. We picked up a DC-3! The Regional Director allowed as
how that was all right because we could use it for transferring all the various
FWS people to other locations along with all their household goods. We'd
have plenty of room and wouldn't cost the Fish and Wildlife nearly as many
dollars if we could do all this ourselves so we used the DC-3 for that.
Then we got involved in sea mammal surveys – walrus and offshore stuff
and so we, like we always did, modified the DC-3 and put big bay windows
up in front and four seats up in the wheel house, so to speak, so the folks
could do their survey work up front and not be disturbed by the wings
interfering with their counts. We put a pair of 200 gallon dropable gas tanks
on the outside of the airplane under the wings so we had gas range we hadn't
even used yet. Being a real lightweight airplane because there wasn't
anything in it but four people, emergency gear and lots and lots and lots of
gasoline, we did a lot of offshore surveys with it. We didn't have the DC-3
too long before the Bureau of Land Management decided they needed it for
fire fighting.
We had a lot of Beavers accessible to us – surplus - down in Davis Monthan
Air Force Base out of Tucson, Arizona. We picked up four of those Beavers
for all the flyways in the States plus five of them for us up here in Alaska.
They were surplus so the price was right. We could use those big round
motors that we got for the Goose's and we would have a lot of surplus parts
available for them so there was another real cheap airplane that we could
have. The price of the motor overhauls of the Super Widgeons that we had
modified were killing us. They wanted some thick dollars to overhaul those
engines. We could run a Goose a lot cheaper so we decided to sell the
Widgeons and buy some Cessna 180's.
The Super Cub, with all its capabilities, was a little short for a winter
airplane. With all the winter gear that you had to have – wing covers, engine
covers, and emergency gear and all that sort of stuff, in a two-place airplane,
it became a one-place airplane. Two people could ride in it and if they did,
they hoped they didn't go down somewhere because they wouldn't have all
the gear they needed to subsist for a few days until the weather changed or
until somebody came after them.
The operators started getting Cessna 180's. They were pretty good rigs;
made a good two-place winter airplane, all metal, lots of horsepower, 225
horsepower and they went on skis quite readily and on floats too so that
sounded like a pretty good airplane. Our aim was to gradually phase out
the Piper Pacers and switch to Cessna 180's and kinda keep up with
We purchased a pair of Bellanca's - high wing – 2-place, fabric covered
planes. We didn't write our contract tight enough and those folks wanted to
get into the act. We really didn't want them because we had a lot of Super
Cub parts and this would be another "misfit." Anyway we got stuck with
two of them but the price was o.k. Of course it wasn't too long before they
went the way of all good airplanes – they got smashed and we didn't replace
We decided we would modify a Grumman Goose to fit our needs and that's
what we did. It was a long process and we stepped on a lot of toes, both in
engine designs and in Washington and in Grumman, but we did end up with
a very capable airplane, long range, offshore patrol and survey. It served our
needs from day one. It turned out to be a great piece of equipment. It was
very reliable; all systems were redundant. In the thought process, we were
going to convert two more Gooses to this Super Goose condition and all nine
Beavers to the same engine, Nacelle combinations, so that one spare engine,
propeller, Nacelle, would outfit this whole fleet of airplanes. That's the
equivalent to 15 engines. All we would need was one spare. The only
difference between a Beaver and the Goose is which panel you put the
exhaust out of to make it a left or right engine. We would save the taxpayers
a lot of dollars and we would upgrade all our airplanes to the latest thing and
be safer but that wasn't to be. Once the Office of Aircraft Services came
along, that planning went down the tube.
My project was to convert a standard Beaver to turbine power, using the
same Nacelle and engine, as we had on the Goose, to a special configuration
for flyway biologists. Those folks have to drive along 120 miles an hour,
150 feet above ground, forever and ever and ever; running transects,
counting ducks and geese. I tried to make this a pretty foolproof airplane
because those folks aren't professional pilots. They go along and they count
ducks and they don't pay much attention to what's happening in the airplane
as long as there isn't a bell or whistle or a light coming on. They just drive
along and do their job and that was the name of the game. We designed the
fuel system such that it was almost foolproof. Even the FAA was astounded
when they got into looking at that and how simple it was and how it worked
so nicely.
These aircraft were all before the Office of Aircraft Services was
established. For more information on the turbine Beaver N-754, please
contact Bev Grafel at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of
External Affairs. She has a complete history of the evolution of N-754 and
copies are available if anyone is interested.

text: I wanted to pump some grease into the ball joint and tie rods with my grease gun but found what looked to me like years of old grease and dirt mixed in next to the boots and all around the zirk fittings. I spent well over an hour chipping the old stuff off and making sure none if the ball joints had failed and that there was no play. Everything was fine until I went to pump new grease in. I would get one or two pumps in then it would start spewing out of a little hole on the boot. Are these holes there for a reason and if they are damaged, is there a way to get a new boot or am I going to have to get new ball joints?

Coach Chan Gailey admitted that he doesn't know if Fred Jackson (calf) will be back this season.

Yikes. What was originally thought to be a little calf bruise is apparently much more severe than that. "Fred's not good, and I know he'll miss this one," Gailey said Wednesday. "Then we'll have to decide what happens from there." It sounds like Jackson may have a tear in his calf. C.J. Spiller will get a crack at the feature job back for the foreseeable future.

yea im seein if Spiller is out there in my league.

yup, im taking him. prob wont start him against the jets...but he's been productive with his limited carries so its prob a good move.

i hope he ****in EXPLODES
I have had him buried on my bench all year in my big money league just incase of keeper status cuz Fjax is in contract year.. Hopfully it pays off

Israeli belligerent occupying forces have committed another war crime
against Palestinian civilians late yesterday night, when an Israeli F-16
fighter jet attacked an apartment building in a highly populated area in
Gaza City, killing 15 Palestinian civilians, including 9 children. Most of
the more than 70 wounded were women and children. According to information
obtained by PCHR, among those killed were two women and their five children,
a father and his child, and Sheikh Salah Shehada, his wife, daughter and
bodyguard. Statements made by the Israeli occupying forces, asserted that
the purpose of the attack was the assassination of Hamas leader, Sheikh
Salah Mustafa Shehada, 49, from Beit Hanoun.
At approximately 23:55 on Monday, 22 July 2002, an Israeli F-16 fighter jet
launched a missile at a 150-square-meter, two-story apartment building
located in the densely populated al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza city. Sheikh
Salah Shehada, who is wanted by the Israeli occupying forces, and his family
were living on the upper floor of the building. The missile directly hit the
apartment building, totally destroying it and one other house. Four other
homes sustained serious damage. Fifteen Palestinian civilians, including 9
children, the youngest of whom was only 2-months-old, were killed. Two of
the wounded are in a critical condition.
Those killed were:
- Iman Hassan Matar, 27, killed together with her 3 children:
- Ra'ed Matar, 1½ ;
- Mohammed Ra'ed Matar, 4;
- Diana Ra'ed Matar, 5;
- Muna Fahmi al-Hweiti, 30, killed together with her 2 children:
- Subhi Mahmoud al-Hweiti, 4½ ;
- Mohammed Mahmoud al-Hweiti, 6;
- Diana Rami Matar, 2 months;
- Alaa' Mohammed Matar, 11;
- Mohammed Mahmoud al-Shawa, 40, killed together with his child:
- Ahmed Mohammed al-Shawa, 4; and
- Sheikh Salah Mustafa Shehada, 49;
- Leila Safira, 45, his wife;
- Iman Salah Shehada, 15, his daughter; and
- Zaher Nassar, 37, his bodyguard.
This was the second time in one week that the Israeli occupying forces have
used F-16 fighter jets to attack homes in highly populated areas in the Gaza
Strip, in a bid to assassinate individual Palestinian activists. The Israeli
forces have stepped up the excessive and disproportionate use of force once
again. These latest attacks have set a grave precedent. On 14 July 2002, an
Israeli F-16 fighter jet attacked a 3-story house in Khan Yunis, in an
attempt to assassinate one of its residents wanted by the Israeli occupying
forces. He survived the assassination attempt but the house was destroyed.
PCHR once again expresses its grave concern about Israel's ongoing and
escalating violations of international human rights and humanitarian law
against Palestinian civilians, including war crimes. PCHR considers that the
failure of the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to
take concrete steps to stop these crimes serves only to encourage Israel and
its occupying forces to commit more war crimes and other violations against
Palestinian civilians and their property. The cover provided for Israel by
the USA, the US deliberate obstruction of the enforcement of the
international humanitarian law, the conspiracy of silence by European
countries towards war crimes committed against Palestinian civilians, have
all effectively put Israel above international law, allowing it to act with
total impunity. PCHR reminds the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth
Geneva Convention of:
Their obligation under Article 1 of the Convention to ensure respect for the
convention in all circumstances; and
Their obligation under Article 146 of the Convention to search for and to
prosecute those responsible for grave breaches, namely war crimes, of the

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 421, November 11, 2011
ARSC at SC11
The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center will once again be part of the exhibit floor at the annual IEEE/ACM Supercomputing conference, in Seattle from November 12-18. Visit http://sc11.supercomputing.org for conference details.
ARSC will be in booth #2400. Our booth this year will feature a rotation of videos on various topics. Of particular interest is a new series of videos that highlight science in Alaska, with a wide range of field research from archeology to grizzly bears. These videos were made through a partnership with www.frontierscientists.com, with support from the National Science Foundation.
Visit the booth and you can pick up a reusable hand warmer and other tchotchkes. The hand warmers have a small metallic disk that creates a chemical reaction, producing warmth for those cold Arctic nights of standing on the back of your dog sled. After use, boil them in water to reset them for another use.
Also in the booth will be limited quantities of the 2012 ARSC Calendar. New photos this year include scenes from Alaska's great outdoors.
Labeling MPI Output
[By: Don Bahls]
A few months ago a user asked me if it was possible to label the output from each MPI tasks with a task number. The code that was being ported had been developed on an IBM AIX system running poe, which conveniently offers the MPI_LABELIO environment variable to enable task labeling for
each MPI task.
Reviewing the OpenMPI man page I couldn't find an obvious way to label the output from each MPI task in that environment, so I took a stab a writing a simple Perl script to intercept the stdout from each task and label it using the task number from the environment variable set by OpenMPI for each task.
Here's the Perl script:
pacman % more labelio #!/usr/bin/perl # # Script: labelio # # Purpose: Labels stdout with MPI rank # # get the rank value from the OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK environment variable # this should work for OpenMPI. my $rank; $rank=$ENV{OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK} if ( $ENV{OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK} ne '' ); if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 and ( $rank == 0 or $rank eq '' ) ) { print STDERR "$0 exe [args]\n"; print STDERR "Purpose:\n"; print STDERR " Prepends the MPI rank to stdout and/or stderr of an MPI task.\n"; print STDERR "\n"; print STDERR "Example Usage:\n"; print STDERR " Example 1: Add labels for MPI ranks to stdout only\n"; print STDERR " mpirun -np 16 $0 ./a.out\n"; exit(0); } my $arg; my $cmd; # read the command line to get the command line to run. foreach $arg (@ARGV) { $cmd .="$arg "; } open(CMD, "$cmd | ") or die "Could not open command = $cmd\n"; while ( <CMD> ) { my $line=$_; chomp($line); printf "%03d:: %s\n", $rank, $line; }
Here's an example of the normal output from a hello world program. This particular program includes the node and the task number for each task, but you could imagine it being challenging to tell which task wrote which output for a larger application.
n70 % mpirun -np 4 ./hello n70: hello world- 0 n70: hello world- 1 n70: hello world- 2 n70: hello world- 3
Here's a second run including the "labelio" script above. Notice the output from each task is now prepended with the task.
n70 % mpirun -np 4 ./labelio ./hello 000:: n70: hello world- 0 002:: n70: hello world- 2 003:: n70: hello world- 3 001:: n70: hello world- 1
The script above labels only stdout. It's possible to label stderr by redirecting stderr to stdout on the open command:
open(CMD, "$cmd 2>&1 | ") or die "Could not open command = $cmd\n";
We found this to be a convenient way to get additional diagnostics from this particular program without recompiling.
Tripole Grid Tales
[by Kate Hedstrom]
In the world of climate modeling, one builds a model of the atmosphere to cover the whole globe. The atmospheric scientists have long had to think about the "pole problem". If you build a grid that's uniform in latitude/longitude space, how do you deal with the poles? One solution is spherical harmonics, another is a stretched cube made of six square patches. There have been others I know less about.
The ocean modelers have taken advantage of the continents to simply place one pole in Antarctica and the other pole in Greenland. If the grid spacing gets finer near Greenland, that's OK. Well, it was OK for a while, but then as the average resolution got better, it got just a bit too fine off Greenland. That's when someone came up with the tripole grid, with the usual pole in Antarctica, a pole in Russia, and a pole in North America. The grid comes north in the usual way, then meets in a sort of zipper across the north pole. This allows for a reasonably uniform grid across the Arctic Ocean.
My colleagues and I are in the process of setting up a global run using a model which has traditionally been considered to be a regional model. In going to a global domain, we have chosen to try a tripole grid. Some fun aspects involve having different fields in the model at different places on the grid:
I would have put the pole at a P-point, but no, we obtained one with the northern poles at T-points. What does it matter, you ask? We didn't want to redo the land mask, where the t-point mask is king, making the whole square into a land cell. Actually, I would have been wrong placing it at the P-point because on our grid, the northernmost P-point is part of the boundary condition and neither side would have been timestepping it. As it is, both sides are timestepping the northern-most (overlapping) T-point. They need to communicate to ensure that both sides have the same answer.
The next bit of fun involves parallel programming. If all of the northern points are on one process, communication is pretty straightforward. If you want to run on many processes, it makes sense to tile in both horizontal directions. I'm going to insist on an even number of tiles around the equator, half being on one side of the zipper, half on the other.
On the face of it, the communication across the zipper isn't so very different from any other tile boundary. In fact, the communication is just a little different for each of the P, T, U, and V points and has to be handled separately. Also, a positive U on one side is heading from Russia to Canada, but needs to be passed as a negative U to the other side. The V values also get rotated, with positive flow on one side being from the Bering to Greenland and the other side considering that as a negative V. However, not everything on a U point is a velocity.
We're still working bugs out in this beast....
Cutting and Pasting with Google Docs
[ By: Ed Kornkven ]
I enjoy have two workstations on my desk. One is a MacBook Pro laptop that gets a lot of heavy use and the other a Linux box made by, let's see, Penguin. Both have decent-sized monitors and I've settled into a rhythm of purposes for each machine that works pretty well for me. Except... that occasional moment when some tidbit on my Mac screen would be really handy to have over on my Penguin screen. That copy-and-paste operation that has become such an essential part of the interaction of man and machine is nullified by little things like architecture and data paths.
Reclaiming that capability in my environment is important enough to me that I once cobbled together some cooperating scripts that would copy the clipboard into a file, do a remote copy to the other machine where I would run another script to copy into its clipboard. Yeah, I know -- ugh.
Imagine my simple delight then, when I discovered that Google Docs provides a workaround that perhaps doesn't rise to the level of elegance, but is quite usable, free, and requires no additional software beyond a web browser. The key capability it offers is maintaining transparent consistency between two views of a document. Here is how it works for me.
I have a Google Doc that I cleverly named "Clipboard". That document can be opened more than once -- say, on my Mac and on my Linux box. And whatever is typed into one window shows up on the other, pretty much instantly. So I leave a "clipboard" browser window open on each machine and copy-and-paste to my hearts content. Whatever I put on one machine appears on the other, and I can have clipboard history as well, no extra charge.

Come on now.. you just can't have the GBU threads after wins.
Dennis Pitta - huge day even with the drops.. If he catches the drops, he may crack 200 yds receiving. The 61 yard TD was sweet.
Terrence Cody - seriously, this guy is supposed to be a run stuffer?
Cary Williams - Eric Decker pwned him all day. If not for a couple overthrows, it's probably a 200 yd/3 TD game
Ed Reed - He got away with cheating plays when our CB's could cover down field. Now he cheats and our CB's get burnt all day. His days here have to be numbered.
Joe Flacco - no need to expound
John Harbaugh - two things here stick out.. one, you have 3 timeouts left and 37 seconds and you rush a play on first and goal? Call a freaking timeout there and make sure you have plays lined up. Secondly, where was the two point conversion when we pulled 34-16? Seriously? That's basically telling your team to quit with 4 minutes left. Detroit, one of the worst teams in the league this year scored two TD's in 58 seconds earlier this year. I got pissed when he sent the kicking team out. Talk about a white flag move...

2 queens in my nuc today! I keep a few nucs for a back up plan and decided to make all the queens today. I marked the queen and while the paint was drying I started to put the frame she was on back into the hive. I noticed a golf ball sized pile of bees on the frame when i picked it back up so I scrapped them in my hand. I found another queen that looked even bigger than the one I marked and she was much prettier, really cordovan colored. I finally decided that this was the older and put her in a cage with a few workers and drove her across town to a hive that is queenless. I was really surprised to find 2 queens especially since the hive was not crowded at all. I also didn't see any hatched swarm queen cells but I guess I could have squashed them when I checked the hive a few days ago and forget.
Which is it?
1. I moved the right queen, the were balling her as part of swarm prep
2. I moved the wrong queen, because she was the newest queen the bees were balling her to protect her from the hive
3. doesn't matter, either way is correct
4. hive will probably supersede the queen anyway so it won't make a difference
Thanks in advance for your replies.

text: Okay guys, I already know the answer to this one, but I am hoping one of you has a surprise answer for me. Everything in my A/C system has been replaced except the condenser. We had a Leak detector going with about a 300 psi of pressure of Nitrogen with the remaining freon after it leaked out in two days. After a weeks time it was still holding 70 ish pounds of pressure but that was not enough to run it. ANYWAY, the detector was fine on all fittings and connectors, but go to the drivers side and put the probe down close to the side of the radiator and it went nuts. I am pretty darn sure that the one piece left I need to change is faulty, but I hope you guys tell me there is yet another connector or weird fitting on that side. Is there?

Friends of a man believed to have been murdered initially thought he had been kidnapped and say they had all been prepared to contribute to whatever ransom demand was made.
Police in Gisborne hope to formally identify by tomorrow the body of a man found at the end of Kaiti Beach Road on Thursday night.
It is believed to be that of Amandeep Singh, 22, who had been missing since December 29.
The body was found by people walking along the end of Kaiti Beach Road, a short distance from the city centre, among scrub and small trees at the base of Kaiti Hill - only a few metres from a road.
A post-mortem examination was to be held tomorrow.
A spokesman for the orchard labour contracting firm Mr Singh worked for, who was also his friend and flatmate, said the news had deeply shocked, saddened and worried his friends.
"It is really, really sad. How is this possible," said the man, who preferred not to be named.
"We had all hoped that Amandeep might have just been kidnapped, that he would still be alive, and we were all prepared to make contributions to any ransom demand made.
"We are all worried that something like this could happen to us, because we don't know the reason why this has happened to Amandeep."
Amandeep had just finished studies he was doing as part of his student visa and was looking for a permanent job, the man said.
"We all prayed for him while he was missing and now we are all still praying for him."
Mr Singh's parents in India had decided not to come to Gisborne.
"His cousin from Australia is due in Gisborne in four or five days, along with one of the cousin's close friends from Auckland," the friend said.
Eastern district police crime manager Detective Inspector Rob Jones said police would like to speak to anyone who had dealings with Mr Singh recently.
"He was very well known in the community and had lots of acquaintances. It's very important that we speak to anyone who can shed some light on his disappearance," he said.
Gisborne district councillor Manu Caddie has set up an appeal to assist Mr Singh's family with their expenses.
"We understand his family are not wealthy and we want to show them that the Gisborne community is upset at what has happened," he said.

The Auckland church chosen for the farewell to Sir Paul Holmes is likely to be full to overflowing as thousands of friends and family say their last goodbyes to the broadcaster.
The Very Rev Jo Kelly-Moore will lead the Friday ceremony at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell, which is one of the largest in New Zealand.
"Sir Paul was a leading and respected New Zealander so communities will gather from near and far to farewell him - we are expecting a full house," Dean Kelly-Moore said.
"We have room for 1100 inside and can put in extra seating but we also have the wonderful forecourt which is also a place of gathering. The doors can be swung wide and people can hear what is going on."
The Anglican Cathedral had seen the likes of Sir Edmund Hillary, Sir Paul Reeves, John Haig QC and more recently Sir Wilson Whineray take their final journey through its doors.
The four-hour funeral of Sir Edmund Hillary was broadcast live, as was that of Sir Paul Reeves, but Dean Kelly-Moore said those decisions had not yet been made for Sir Paul Holmes' service.
"Those conversations are still underway and we can accommodate if they are requested."
Dean Kelly-Moore would present the service with the Rev Ann Mellor.
"We are honoured as Sir Paul gathered us around stories, he crafted so many stories. It will be a privilege that we gather here on Friday to honour his story. I am sure that remembering will be at the heart of his farewell."
The veteran television and radio broadcaster died at his home in Hawkes Bay on Friday morning after suffering prostate cancer and heart problems. He was 62.
Sir Paul will remain with his family at home until Tuesday, when they will all travel to Auckland together.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
So it's been eons since I have been on this forum, cannot believe nearly a year now!
Since then, a lot has changed. Ended up travelling for a month or so, my friend who was taking care of the tank, failed miserably and wiped out my colony, of course I am not too happy on that part. By time I got back, it was late into the season, and I opted to hold off on getting shrimp as for the weather wasn't kind, as well I had to move.
However I kept my tank running for the past year, with a couple Cardinal Tetras which had survived my friends mischief.
Now that I am moved into my new place, I've decided to come back with the vengeance. My cardinals have been moved. And I was in Big Al's Thursday last week, and purchased 6 CRS (3/$12) I will add pics eventually.
The best news I noticed in my tank the other day was that my Fissidens Fontanus, has decided to start growing on my driftwood. I AM SUPER HAPPY! It's growing slow, but surely again, will post pics in the next couple of days.
Duck weed is growing stronger than ever HA HA. My other mosses I had took a huge hit, not sure if they will recover, though I do plan on doing a DIY Moss farm, since my room has a nice bay window an can get a lot of sunlight .
My Snails are of plenty of course. Though I have noticed they seem to be losing some shell colorization which I can only assume they need some much needed calcium. I do have some of my "CRS" Mineral Rock that I will add.
We are approaching a week of the CRS additions and they seem to be thriving. I've seen a few molts, they are highly active, and I am able to see all 6 all the time.
Pics to come and I am glad to be back

** FEBRUARY 4th, 2013 Update**
It's been a awful long time since I've updated but... Here's the story thus far
Once upon a time there was a Yellow Shrimp, and a Rili Shrimp shown here:
Mrs. Rili:
The Yellow:
Together they decided they were going to be mates. They've enjoyed their time together on a April/May afternoon. A few months later they had some babies. Due to an emergency in July I had to leave my tank for 4-5 mths. I had my parents do top offs for me while I was away and do feedings. I've since returned, and back in action. Since then an unfortunate heat wave back in August/September wiped out my colony of CRS/CBS, Yellow, and Rili (Didn't help the AC broke down either ). But when I got home... dun dun dun! I found these little nifty dudes/dudettes. I've counted roughly 20-30, and who knows how many more are hiding in the great depths of my moss.
I have currently seen 3-5 berried ladies, and have removed them into my breeder box, since I do have a few Cardinal Tetras in the tank.
I myself personally think these guys an gals are pretty nifty!
And now, some pictures!
With eggs!
Lone yellow survive, unsure if from original batch, or not.
Shot of the hybrid
Shot of hybrid, and Yellow (pardon the tank mess)
Yellow decided to hitch a ride with the hybrid or attempting the naughty stuff since I just finished a water change/top off.
Now with racing strip!
The Lone survivor of my CBS brood... now accepting males (I believe this is a lady) HA...
I am sure this is a male.
Was a challenge to get this one...
Full Tank shot
This was taken a couple weeks back in my breeder box. (iphone quality )
and "zoomed" in of the same photo above. (iphone quality )
I decided to crop the one photo of the one male shown here:
Mini feeding frenzy, I think the snails loved the algae wafer more so than the shrimp lastnight!
Did a water change in the afternoon yesterday, today I have about 10 males swimming in fun circles. I should attempt to take a video!
Sponge Filter
18" T8 Light Single bulb
Aqua Soil - New Amazonia - Normal Type
Plant life:
Flame Moss
5 Nano Marimo Balls
1 Golf Ball Size Marimo Ball
Xmas Moss
Fissidens Fontanus
Singapore Moss
Java Moss
Random Stuff:
Mineral Rock
Almond Leaf
Shrimp Life...
Hybrid Species
1 Yellow Shrimp
1 Crystal Black Shrimp
**JUNE 27th, 2012 Update**
So I saw yesterday morning when I woke up that my one CRS gave birth ... Easily 10~ Candy Canes swimming around!
Also noticed 2 more Berried ladies to go with!
I have to say... this little Breeder box has been excellent!
I put in all 10 of my adults... filled with with moss. I put in two almond leaves... and BAM! Magic!
I stuck with a bare bottom box, I havent fed any food, they are just grazing off the moss, and eating the leaf.
To siphon out the poop I am just using a small air line tubing to keep it minimal.
I'll add some pictures of the new additions soon!
It's been nearly a month on my rili babies, so far they have not coloured yet at all. Still all clear, so I am assuming colouration will show as they mature, and become "teenagers" HA!
** JUNE 6th, 2012 Update **
My Rili Finally gave birth today Huzzah! So far counted atleast 10... and they are all clear right now, I haven't seen any colour in them yet... I assume it will take a good couple weeks to a month before any true colour is shown.
My 2nd Yellow still hasn't popped, but I am sure she will be due any moment!
** JUNE 4th, 2012 Update **
Yellow Shrimp number 1 gave birth this morning! Pictures to come. An she is already saddled for another round! - I've count approx 10. And of course there always can be more!
Yellow Shrimp number 2 is ready any day as well! Again, She's saddled for another round.
Also have two more Saddled.
Which also means my Rili should be ready to pop any day now as well!
And about 1 week into my CRS berry.
Happy Happy Day!
I think I may have to hook up the 2 gallon tank, to house all these Yellow Babies, until they are big enough to put into the Main 10 Gallon tank with the Cardinal Tetras
** MAY 31st, 2012 Update **
Doing some late night shrimp browsing, noticed my C Grade CRS berried... potentially another lady as well... Since the night before they were all swimming circles around the tank for nearly 2 hours. Will post pictures later on .
Noticed another Yellow Saddled... 2 Berried alrdy, 2~ weeks... an now potentially a 3rd

The next day she had eggs.

As Promised some pics from my eBay purchases... I have to say, I am quite happy with them!
Riccia, a smidge disappointed how it turned out, I thought the mesh would have been more full.
A shot of one of my Mesh Pads of Fissidens Fontanus totalled 3.

** MAY 23rd, 2012 Update **
So it's officially the 2 week mark since I've received my shipment from Alphaprobreeders... and I can personally say, I approve! Especially being able to ship to Canada I LOVE IT!
All 10 are thriving, there seems to be a molt everyday, they are very very active, grazing on the moss, on the glass of the tank, and picking anywhere they can pick!
One day... I may do a mini photo shoot, when I purchase a Breeder box.
Their feeding habits so far... every day I've been putting a very small piece of the Mosura Specialty Food it's nearly gone in roughly an hr. (i'll take a snap shoot of the size one day).
Tues, and Thursdays I've been putting in some Mosura BioPlus the little plastic spoon it comes with... I've probably just putting in 1/10 of a spoon (i'll take a snap as well).
Today while staring at my tank for an hr or so. I believe my "F"(A) Grade CRS looks saddled, I'll try a snap a shot.
I also received my 3 pads of Fissidens fontanus (4x4cm) off of eBay, I am happy with the quality nice an green alive an well, as well a Green blanket moss pad (8x8cm). I'll post pictures in the next couple days.
Currently awaiting the arrival of my Riccia pads (5x5cm).
I have a small 2g tank, so I may start a colony of moss/fissiden/riccia we'll see!
Or I may buy a 10-20g and attempt this awesome-ness
I have a huge bucket of rock floating around in the garage.. .
That's all I have to say for now... Ta-ta for now! Pics to come soon!

Pretty good quality yellows and that single rili, especially for coming from a LFS.
I have moved all my yellow (except the berried) over to my 10g tank (which is currently housing a few Cardinal Tetras, and so far, they haven't touched the Yellows)
Sometime this week/end. I will be buying a breeder box to put the lone berried yellow away. I believe she still has 2-3 weeks to go prior to babies.
The Rili, I believe is the LFS owners own stock, an he brings them into the store so spread to local hobbyists.

Gabriel Iglesias is one of my favorite comedians, so when I was asked if I wanted to do a giveaway of the DVD release of the Comedy Central show, "Gabriel Iglesias Stand-up Revolution" – I was all in!
This is a 2 disc set with over 40 minutes of Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias and his comedian friends and even features OZOMATLI as the house band. If you haven't seen the TV show, Gabriel serves mainly as host and introduces the comedians before they perform. All of the comedians are friends of Gabriel's and most of them are breaking into the business. Some of the comedians are funnier than others, but the DVD is worth having for the opening story Gabriel tells about Arizona. (Their tour bus was pulled over by Border Patrol – hilarity ensues.) I also loved the outtakes and the music video called "Hey, It's Fluffy!" made especially for Gabriel by OZOMATLI.
Here's a preview of the DVD – (which is definitely not for niños and somewhat not safe for work, depending on how cool or not cool your boss is.)

Hope College led all NCAA Division III men's basketball teams in home attendance during the 2003-04 season according to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
It marks the second consecutive year that Hope led the nation's Division III schools in home attendance and the sixth time in school history. Other years were 1984, 1991, 1996, 1999 and 2003.
The MIAA co-champion Flying Dutchmen averaged 2,491 fans over 14 home games played at the Holland Civic Center. League rival Calvin ranked third in the national attendance figures, averaging 2,014 fans over 13 home games.
Hope and Calvin helped the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) to top all Division III conferences in home attendance for the 13th consecutive year with an average of 1,049 fans a game.
Next season the Flying Dutchmen will be playing at the storied Holland Civic Center for the 51st and final year. With only two losing home seasons since 1954-55, the Flying Dutchmen have an impressive 451-112 record at the Civic Center. Hope was 12-2 at the Civic in 2003-04.
Construction is underway for the new Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse with completion planned in time for the 2005-06 season. The new fieldhouse will have a seating capacity of 3,500 compared to the 2,550 of the Civic Center.

The return of the A-class is a trumpet-flourishing moment for Mercedes, which temporarily had only the B-class to pitch against BMW's 1 Series and Audi's A1. This headlining 250 Sport will take the biggest slice of sales when A-class launches in March, followed by the hard-core A45 AMG in September.
What's new
A new platform and conventional hatch lines for A-class, with a handsome and characterful design.
This German-built car gets a 155kW/350Nm 2.0-litre direct-injection four-cylinder turbo engine with a seven-speed auto. It'll do zero to 100km/h in 6.6 seconds, and drink 6.6l/100km when driven frugally; our spirited approach returned 9.7l/100km. The sports suspension gets three degrees of front camber and a beefier anti-roll bar.
The sports exhaust deletes the centre silencer, there's a more direct steering ratio, improved brake cooling and sports-tuned stability control, the whole package tested by at least 10,000km of high-speed work on the Nordschliefe track at Germany's Nurburgring.
The company line
This A-class has NZ Merc execs feeling bullish. "This year our competitors need bigger rear-view mirrors." Is BMW's rear-drive format its trump card? No, says Mercedes, as rear drive in a car this size involves packaging disadvantages that don't offset a dynamic edge few owners will tap.
The old high-riding, A-class "sandwich" platform has been retained for future fuel cell and electric cars. This new model sticks with conventional power plants; given the diesel's 4.7l/100km thirst, a hybrid delivers no advantages.
The 250 Sport and A45 AMG will sell in auto only.
What we say
AMG has breathed on the A250 motor, with an overboost that adds 10 more kilowatts after 30 seconds of hard acceleration over 4000rpm, and an "eco, manual, sport" button. Press sport to alter the gearing and sharpen steering and soundtrack.
There's generous specification for A-class. Even the $46,900 starter-car includes a seven-speed paddle-shift transmission, 17-inch wheels, nine airbags, a reversing camera and much, much more.
The A250 Sport adds 18-inch alloys, a twin exhaust, Bi-xenon headlamps, a very effective "diamond" grille, a panoramic sunroof, privacy glass, sports-focused tweaks to the cabin and red touches inside and out that culminate in red seatbelts, all for $64,900 - similar to a VW Golf GTI specced to match.
On the road
Merc has hit the right suspension compromise, sporting firm but not harsh, and sufficiently confident around corners that only over-vigorous drivers will bemoan the front-drive bias.
Meanwhile the broad 1200-4000rpm torque spread means you can select one gear for the twisties; we happily stuck to third for a notably narrow tangle of tarmac twisting through the trees in a profusion of 45 and 35km/h corners.
Why you'll buy one?
The A250 Sport is uber-handsome and has the specification and performance to justify the price.
Why you won't?
You'll never consider front drive.

Just made the best deal I've ever done in Spiral Knights. I told people I was buying gel cores for 150 each, that I was buying 2 and that the first person to trade me gets the deal. Some guy trades me and shows me that he has more than 40. I put in 300 crowns into the trade and tell him once again that I'm buying just 2 cores. He puts in 18 cores and locks and confirms the trade.

I thought our pass blocking was good enough to win with but the run blocking was bad enough to keep that from happening ..
I highly doubt that Wilson will go from getting virtually no touches this past season to getting the vast majority of carries next. I agree with those who are saying the carries will be split.
After how Brown performed last year when healthy, how could you not want him on the field?
All Hail The New York Giants!!
Nyc, I still would be ok with Zac Stacy in the 6th or 7th rd to compete for the 3rd or 4th RB position.
Really, what the team needs is for some of it's late round OL prospects to start developing into players. Brewer, Petrus, McCants, Mosely, Cordle, Capers. We need one of these guys to develop into a legit starter, similar to Boothe. It's hard to build a well rounded team relying only on your premium draft picks and free agents, we need more of our later draft picks at the position to start panning out.
I find it amazing how well he develope UDFA's, yet don't seem to have as many late round picks develop the same way.
All Hail The New York Giants!!
I dont understand this "mauler" thing. Giants have never used maulers on the OL. Thats not how they run the ball. They are a pull and trap team.

Can't wait!!!!!
Today at 2PM. What a classic! ONe of the best games and defensive battles I have ever seen.
Can't wait!!!!!
awesome game, already watched it twice this week n ill prolly watch now too
That forward progress was such a ticky tack call... If I was a 49ers fan I would have lost it.
After Kyle Williams fumbled, it was still on the 24.....making it a kick off about 42 yards.....certainly not a chip shot.
If the 49ers were so awesome, they should have stonewalled the Giants after that turnover, and forced a long field goal attempt.
Instead, the Giants ran it down their throat until it was 1st and goal. And then, the Giants just moved the ball into the center of the field, and kicked a chip shot.
So, enough with all the talk by the 49ers saying the Giants have what the 49ers deserved.
If the 49ers deserved to go to the Super Bowl, they would manned up when every yard was critical after that turnover.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
what i took from the game rewatching it, is that we are capable of being just as physical as them. and i also believe the weather was a factor that hurt us bc there were 2-3 big play attempts where the wr lost his footing while trying to make a tough catch (that imo cruz would normally make 2x).
with the way SF is hyped, i gave them way too much credit/respect. that doesnt mean i dont respect them, its just their D is not what its made out to be. vs NYJ and Buffalo, yeah, vs our offense? no.
and i also noticed how hypocritical JH is. he whined n complained bout the officiating during and after the game. he "used his high profile position to critique and influence the officiating" detracting from what one of the finest, exemplary organizations NYG and making incendiary remarks that hold no truth. lol but seriously he was freaking out on the refs all game and afterwards too...and i also noticed, for how "disciplined" JH makes sure his teams are, they sure made a bunch of costly undisciplined mistakes (VD TD celebration, ST fumbles, personal foul on VD, etc)
I actually feel much more confident heading into tmrw. eli had a tremendously gutsy NFC CG performance, and he did play well, but i believe he can play much better and i feel he will tmrw, and i feel our DL shows up finally and this win catapults us to a lengthy win streak

My wife and I purchased our first hive this spring and boy, do our bees have a lot to teach us. This is something that I've wanted to do for years but really didn't introduce my wife to the idea until a few years ago. However, with times being uncertain, this was just one more step in our preparedness. Our long term goal is to be as self-sufficient as possible and to ultimately have a total of four hives.
We live on the banks of the Big Horn River about 17 miles from town with our closest neighbor being about 1/2 mile away. BLM land lies behind us and state land lies in front of the house. The closest WalMart is about 80 miles away and it's 160 miles to the nearest "Big City". It's still too close but it's the best we could do!
We hunt, camp, fish and attempt to garden. Our first harvest will be within a few weeks. We'll let you know if our bees are capitalists or if we have "welfare" bees! - memtb

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals hire Steve Keim as GM
The Arizona Cardinals' search for a new general manager has ended, as the team has tabbed vice president of player personnel Steve Keim for the post.
"As I went through the process over the last week or so of evaluating the field of candidates, speaking to people, both inside of our training facility and outside, I became more and more convinced that Steve Keim was the right man to become the general manager of the Arizona Cardinals," team president Michael Bidwill said Tuesday.
Keim has been with the Cardinals organization since 1999 in various capacities including scout, director of college scouting and director of player personnel. During the last two NFL offseasons, Keim has been a target of other teams seeking new general managers. Keim was a favorite for the Jacksonville job before the Cardinals hired him, but he knew where he ultimately wanted to be.
"Me and my wife talked, my family talked, and this is where we wanted to be all along, and I made that clear to Michael Bidwill from the start," Keim said at his press conference. "You go on these trips and you interview with other teams — it's a great learning process and the two things that I'd say, that I probably learned the most was when I landed in Phoenix, I realized this is my home and I'm a Cardinal at heart."
Keim's first charge will be helping the organization hire a new head coach. Ken Whisenhunt was fired following a disappointing 5-11 campaign that included a nine-game losing streak. It was the Cardinals' third straight non-winning season following two NFC West championships and a trip to the Super Bowl.
After that, Keim will spearhead the Cardinals' efforts to revamp an offense that ranked last in the NFL in total yardage and 31st in points scored. Keim said finding a quarterback that can jump-start the offense is paramount.
"The bottom line is getting consistency out of that position," he said. "Kevin (Kolb) has done some good things, he's shown some flashes. That being said, the consistency and the durability are questions. That's something we're going to address with the new head coach and that's something that's obviously at the top of our list."
The search for a new general manager began December 31 when the team parted ways with Rod Graves, who had led the Cardinals' personnel department since 2003. The team suffered through a 5-11 campaign in 2012, which led to the front office shakeup.
"In 1999, Rod Graves took a chance on a young scout," Keim said. "His guidance, his friendship, it's something that I'll always appreciate."
