Career Advice
For the past 6 months, I've been playing around with Backtrack and Linux generally on test laptops, playing with the tools on a mini-network and my own wireless router. I learned SME server to the point where I installed one for a client. I read though all the free training stuff on the Backtrack site. I have a cousin who works for a major bank on their incident response team. Had a fascinating two hour chat with him, this is an area I'd like to explore more of.
From what I've read here, it seems the CISSP cert would be a good fit for me. I've ordered the Shon Harris book and signed up for free test questions.
How does my experience fit with the "ten years experience in two domains" requirement?
Also, do you see this as an advisable career move? I am 39, married, two kids . Would need to make good $$, live in an expensive area (MA)

What's up with Newt Gingrich? Gallup's daily tracking poll, for one thing
posted at 7:10 pm on February 29, 2012 by Tina Korbe
While Mitt Romney continues to rack up delegates, each of the other three GOP candidates must still be able to see a path to the nomination for himself. Otherwise, they'd drop out, right?
For Newt Gingrich, that path runs through Georgia and — he hopes — Tennessee, Ohio, Texas and Oklahoma.
Gingrich predicted during an appearance at the Georgia Statehouse that he will win the state's contest. Georgia is one of 10 holding primaries and caucuses next Tuesday and Gingrich predicted he'd "win it decisively."
"That is the key building block that we have to have to move forward in the presidential campaign. Georgia really does matter," Gingrich said. He was joined by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal and a few dozen legislators, but took no questions from reporters.
The former House speaker has made clear he needs a win in Georgia on Super Tuesday, but has stopped short of saying a loss would force him from the race. He told CNN on Tuesday that "we unequivocally have to win Georgia."
Betting on the South, Gingrich skipped primaries in Michigan and Arizona – both won by Mitt Romney – to save money and focus on delegate-rich states that vote with Georgia on March 6, including Tennessee, Ohio and Oklahoma.
Gingrich has a comfortable lead in Georgia; the RCP poll average puts him nine points ahead of his competitors in his home state. He doesn't, however, fare nearly so well in the other states he's supposedly targeting. In Ohio, for example, Gingrich polls at an average of 18 percent, behind Santorum's 34.3 percent and Mitt Romney's 26 percent. In Tennessee, Gingrich polls in fourth place, according to the Vanderbilt poll. Oklahoma looks similarly unconquerable for Gingrich.
Yet, today, Gingrich has at least one bit of poll improvement to tout: His Gallup support rating jumped two points today. With his personal life out of the limelight and his ideas about energy policy front-and-center, at least a few folks apparently have remembered Gingrich ain't all bad.
Newt Gingrich has engineered two comebacks already. Is a third out of the realm of possibility? Never say never.

MEPs want future EU budgets to accommodate new policy priorities as well as negotiations on new sources of financing. In its position on the 2011 budget, approved Thursday, the Budgets Committee inserts new budget lines for Lisbon Treaty priorities and for new revenue sources, including transferring unspent money to future budgets instead of returning it to Member States. These budget lines are empty for now, but the intention is to open negotiations on the budget after 2011.
In its final vote on the 2011 budget, the Budgets Committee, led by rapporteurs Sidonia Jędrzejewska (EPP, PL) and Helga Trüpel (Greens/EFA,DE), urged that the budget ceilings agreed in 2006 be brought into line with today's reality and pointed out that the EU budget should be viewed not as an additional burden to national budgets, but rather as an opportunity to gear up national initiatives and investments to which it can add value.
However, MEPs understand the pressures on Member States' budgets and therefore broke with the tradition of suggesting a much larger budget than the Commission proposes, and increased it only very slightly. The committee agreed on a total of €130.14 billion in payments and €142.65 billion in commitments (compared to the Commission's €130.14 billion in payments and €142.56 billion in commitments).
Revision of long-term budget framework urgently needed
The Budgets Committee points out that the margins in the current long-term budget framework (also called financial perspectives or multiannual financial framework, MFF) are too restrictive. This framework was established for 2007-2013, but does not take account of additional spending as a result of the financial crisis, new policy areas or agreed new tasks stemming from the Lisbon Treaty. This is for example the case for energy, research, financial supervision, climate change and foreign policy. MEPs feel the EU lacks the necessary room for manoeuvre to react to new or unexpected policy challenges.
"A substantial budget review is absolutely needed" and an "immediate revisions of the ceilings of the current MFF... has been rendered unavoidable by the various challenges and new priorities that have arisen", the committee says.
The Commission is set to present its mid-term review of the long-term budget framework on 19 October, one day before the plenary votes on the 2011 budget.
Opening up discussion on new own resources
The Budgets Committee also wants to start talks with the Council and the Commission about new sources of income for the EU. It therefore added two new lines to the 2011 budget. One line asks the Council to open the negotiations on new own resources, adding that this element is a "full part of the overall agreement on the 2011 budget". The other budget line asks the Council and the Commission to "decide on mechanisms to facilitate the transfer of unused appropriations of year N in particular in the context of the revision of the Financial Regulations". Until now, money that is not used has been paid back to the Member States at the end of the year. The budget lines do not contain any figures.
"Lisbonisation" of the budget
A majority of the committee, notably its S&D, liberal, green and GUE/NGL members, added four new budget lines for "Lisbon mid-term review needs" in the areas of competitiveness, natural resources, freedom, security and justice and external actions. In these lines, MEPs reiterate the EU's new responsibilities following the entry into force of the Lisbon treaty. They also ask for a "sufficient level of spending" and proper involvement of Parliament in the negotiations for a renewed multiannual financial framework.
Provision for the stability mechanism
The committee also asks, by a broad majority, for two budget lines, one for expenditure and one for revenues, to be created for the EU stabilisation mechanism, which was established by the EU governments after the Greek debt crisis. These lines are still empty, but could be activated if the mechanism is used.
Next steps
The figures and the resolutions will be put to a plenary vote on 20 October. Parliament and the Council will then form a conciliation committee, which will have 21 days to agree on a joint text. If they can agree, the final budget could be approved in mid-November.

RBS Shareholders Sue for $6 Billion on 2008 Rights OfferingKit Chellel and Jeremy Hodges
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and former Chief Executive Officer Fred Goodwin were sued by 12,000 shareholders who said the lender misled them in 2008 when it issued new shares months before a government bailout.
The investors may seek as much as 4 billion pounds ($6 billion) in the class-action suit filed in London, the RBOS Shareholder Action Group said today in a statement. It's the second complaint in less than a week over the rights issue after pension funds and investment firms sued on March 28.
RBS is 81 percent owned by British taxpayers after getting the world's biggest bank bailout -- 45.5 billion pounds -- in 2008 and 2009 at the height of the global financial crisis. The lender had raised 12 billion pounds from investors in the share sale before collapsing under the weight of bad loans.
"This is one of the largest shareholder actions we have seen brought against the U.K. banks," said Simon Hart, a London-based trial lawyer specializing in financial disputes who isn't involved in the suit. The RBS lawsuits are "borne directly out of the unprecedented upheavals in the banking industry in 2008."
McKillop, Cameron
Former RBS Chairman Tom McKillop, ex-head of corporate markets Johnny Cameron and former finance director Guy Whittaker were also named in the suit filed today in London.
David Gaffney, a spokesman for Edinburgh-based RBS, declined to comment and Cameron declined to comment.
RBS shares fell 4.4 percent to 271.1 pence at the close of London trading.
New Century Media, a public relations firm that used to represent Goodwin, said it no longer worked for him and wasn't able to provide details for his current spokesman. Evolva SA, a Swiss company where McKillop is chairman, declined to provide contact details. An RBS spokesman said the bank didn't have contact details for Whittaker. Numbers for the men couldn't be located on directory assistance.
RBS in February posted a 5.97 billion-pound loss after what Chief Executive Officer Stephen Hester said was a "chastening year" in 2012. The lender was fined $612 million in February for rigging benchmark interest rates such as Libor and has set aside more than 2 billion pounds to compensate customers wrongly sold so-called PPI loan insurance.
FSA Report
The U.K. Financial Services Authority in 2011 cleared Goodwin and other directors of wrongdoing over the near-collapse of RBS. It acknowledged that regulators had been too lenient in not challenging Goodwin's "dominant" management style.
The lead plaintiff in the case, John Greenwood, spent about 65,000 pounds investing in the 2008 share offering at 200 pence a share, the shareholder group said in a court filing. He sold the stock later at 68 pence and 37 pence, losing about 70 percent of his investment. Among the other 12,000 claimants are retirees and 100 institutional investors.
RBS didn't give an accurate account of its capital strength, holdings of packaged debt securities, and the damage caused by its 2007 takeover of ABN Amro Holding NV, according to the lawsuit.
"Directors sought to mislead shareholders by misrepresenting the underlying strength of the bank and omitting critical information from the 2008 rights issue prospectus," said Locksley Ryan, the shareholder group's spokesman.
A similar class action brought by pension funds against RBS in New York was dismissed in 2011 when U.S. Judge Deborah Batts ruled the court wasn't the correct forum for the dispute. The investors said they were misled about the risk from subprime debt and the ABN Amro Bank NV acquisition.

Channeling Our Forefathers in Virginia
The Founders Inn and Spa • Virginia Beach, VA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Colonial Room ($80), Junior Suite ($92), or One-Bedroom Suite with Parlor ($107)
- $25 Spa Credit
Stepping onto the sprawling grounds of The Founders Inn and Spa, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were at the wrong place—palatial yet humbly named, the property is less of an inn than it is an estate. But an apt tribute to its namesake Founding Fathers? It is most certainly that.
Set on 16 acres in Virginia Beach, the Georgian-style hotel is fronted by fountains and perfectly trimmed hedges, and decorated inside with Oriental rugs, chandeliers, and large framed paintings of John Adams, James Madison, and the like.
And with this Escape, you'll get a healthy helping of 18th-century elegance, but don't expect white-gloved butlers and classically trained string quartets. With festive seasonal decorations and the ultra-modern Flowering Almond Spa, The Founders Inn is anything but stuffy. Check into your newly renovated room, featuring Kingsdown pillow-top mattresses, and flip on the 42-inch flat-screen TV or surf the Internet with complimentary Wi-Fi.
When you aren't splashing in the indoor pool or pampering yourself in the spa, head 20 minutes east to the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, or make the hour-long drive north to historic Williamsburg, Jamestown, or Yorktown.
And when colonialist undertakings leave you famished, sate your appetite back at the inn. The Hunt Room, a contemporary-casual eatery with a pool table and large TVs, serves a variety of soups, artisanal sandwiches, and brick-oven pizzas, plus beer and wine. Upscale offerings abound at the award-winning Swan Terrace Restaurant, set on the outdoor brick patio and serving locally sourced fruits and veggies, seafood, prime meats, and a sommelier-selected list of wines.
With three restaurants, an award-winning spa, and décor fit for the White House, The Founders Inn and Spa is unlike any inn you've seen. The hospitality, however, is as warm as a country bed and breakfast—homemaker Martha Washington would definitely approve.
"We stayed at the Founders for the first time and were thoroughly delighted... It's a top quality property: Egyptian cotton, great mattresses, nicely appointed rooms, very nice foyer, and excellent food."-- TripAdvisor

By nature, humans tend to be drawn to shiny objects. The sparkle and glitz is visually pleasing to the eye. (Especially when paired with more subtle items.) Maybe the evolutionists got it all wrong and we are not evolved from a big hairy ape after all, but from the shiny object loving magpies. Last month, I braved the Christmas crowds to pick up a few items at Hobby Lobby. They ended up having nothing I originally came for (of course) but … [Read more...]

Damontre Moore cont......
vs FLorida 2012
vs Nwestern 2011 3-4 LB
vs KSU 2011 3-4 LB
Thanks for all the effort you put into this thread. I will definitely be checking it out but not until my next day off this Tuesday. Thanks again.
Do you have any personal opinions of these players?
Moores tape is good. Pretty versatile player. Has experience playing multiple positions in multiple fronts. Played as a 3-4 LB in 2010 and 2011. Moore is good in many areas just not spectacular in any which along with some character concerns are why he didnt go in the Top 45 picks.Moore works well dipping inside rushing in the B gaps. So Slip might be right saying he has potential as the Nickel DT. Why u wouldnt want Moore playing in coverage often he is definitely capable of some short drops which could be useful for zone blitzing. Moore fits into the Giants opportunistic Defense forcing a number of fumbles while at A&M. Moore has played the majority of his snaps on the Left Side and I think thats where he will stick.
Justin Pugh I had ranked #61 overall so I wasnt crazy about this pick at 1st but after the Giants got Moore and Hankins where Pugh was drafted doesnt bother me as much as we ended up with 3 potential starters. Pugh has good tape but he really didnt face elite competition and struggled at times with elite players in the Senior Bowl. I preferred Miami Dolphins selection Dallas Thomas to Pugh who I thought had similar tape and played in the SEC.I can pop in games with Dallas Thomas facing elite edge rushers stymieing them at Guard and Tackle which is a comforting when trying to project players.While I thought talent wise the Giants were reaching the draft dictated it wasnt and its likely the Giants were not going to be able to land him later.
On tape they got a fluid athlete with the ability to mirror edge rushers with a very good kick slide. Pugh does a good job as a move blocker which bodes well for the Giants if they are going to use him at LG. My biggest worry with Pugh stems from his smaller build and short arms. Pugh has had issues with compact powerful ends and moving him inside to guard where even bigger more powerful interior players are located could give him problems.
Good analysis redeye, and u know i check this stuff out, and have thanked u many times for ur efforts...
Hey Red, do you think Moore rushes better with his hand in the dirt or standing up? And I agree with Pugh, I think he could be to weak to move him inside, I saw him get pushed around a bit on tape by the bigger ends. I do think he can hold up at Right Tackle though so I'm quite pleased with the pick. Do you think Hankins has as much upside as Joseph did?
One thing I noticed about Hankins...two actually...is that he was double teamed most of the time, but he sometimes looked like he gave up at the point of contact and was content to look like he was fighting back.
I like the Oklahoma game for Moore. The first big thing Moore did was get an offsides penalty. I noticed that he has good anticipation and seems to read a play pretty decent. When he saw a pass he immediately went from a pass rush with his head down to trying to knock the ball down. Seems like a pretty good awareness.

Entertaining game...RGIII and Shanahan learned a lesson in pride today imo. Kid should've came out somewhere in the 3rd. Option has no bite when your QB's limping in sprint mode.
fwiw, Alfred Morris gets my vote for ROY.
my beer drinking team has a football problem
True enough, but the Colts aren't the same 1 win team. 30 odd new faces on the roster? Sounds like a GM of the year performance too.
my beer drinking team has a football problem
Very clever RG3 pic. Does that mean he won't make it to the Pro Bowl and Eli gets in?

My hive has pretty much back filled its entire (and only) large brood box with honey. I think they went queenless for just a bit a couple months ago and in the queens absence I think they just got carried away with honey production. I did add a medium super later in the season when they had filled their large body about 80% but for the life of me they wouldn't move into it. There is also a few capped supercedure queen cells but I did find my queen looking to lay eggs in some half built comb that I moved to the medium super.
Should I be worried at this point? It's late in the season but I'd expect them to keep working another month or two here in Socal. Days are still easily in the 80s.
Thanks all!

Opening a new era in vaccine delivery, researchers supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have shown for the first time that an edible vaccine can safely trigger significant immune responses in people. The report, by collaborators from the University of Maryland in Baltimore, the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research in Ithaca, N.Y., and Tulane University in New Orleans, appears in the May issue of Nature Medicine.
"Edible vaccines offer exciting possibilities for significantly reducing the burden of diseases like hepatitis and diarrhea, particularly in the developing world where storing and administering vaccines are often major problems," says Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of NIAID.
The Phase 1 proof-of-concept trial began last fall at the University of Maryland School of Medicine's Center for Vaccine Development under the direction of Carol O. Tacket, M.D., professor of medicine.
The goal of the study was to demonstrate that an edible vaccine could stimulate an immune response in humans. Volunteers ate bite-sized pieces of raw potato that had been genetically engineered to produce part of the toxin secreted by the Escherichia coli bacterium, which causes diarrhea.
Previously, NIAID-supported in vitro and preclinical studies by John Clements, Ph.D., and colleagues at Tulane University School of Medicine showed that transgenic potatoes containing this segment of the toxin stimulated strong immune responses in animals. The transgenic potatoes were created and grown by Charles Arntzen, Ph.D., and Hugh S. Mason, Ph.D., and their colleagues at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, an affiliate of Cornell University.
The trial enrolled 14 healthy adults; 11 were chosen at random to receive the genetically engineered potatoes and three received pieces of ordinary potatoes. The investigators periodically collected blood and stool samples from the volunteers to evaluate the vaccine's ability to stimulate both systemic and intestinal immune responses. Ten of the 11 volunteers (91 percent) who ingested the transgenic potatoes had fourfold rises in serum antibodies at some point after immunization, and six of the 11 (55 percent) developed fourfold rises in intestinal antibodies. The potatoes were well tolerated and no one experienced serious adverse side effects.
Encouraged by the results of this study, NIAID-supported scientists are exploring the use of this technique for administering other antigens. Edible vaccines for other intestinal pathogens are already in the pipeline--for example, potatoes and bananas that might protect against Norwalk virus, a common cause of diarrhea, and potatoes and tomatoes that might protect against hepatitis B.
Regina Rabinovich, M.D., oversees NIAID's Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Program, of which the University of Maryland's vaccine center is a part. "This first trial is a milestone on the road to creating inexpensive vaccines that might be particularly useful in immunizing people in developing countries, where high cost and logistical issues, such as transportation and the need for certain vaccines to be refrigerated, can thwart effective vaccination programs," she comments. "The hope is that edible vaccines could be grown in many of the developing countries where they would actually be used."
***Details of the Study***
The study nurse at the University of Maryland peeled the potatoes just before they were eaten, because potato skin sometimes contains a compound that imparts a bitter taste and can cause nausea and stomach upset. The potatoes were then cut into small, uniform pieces and weighed into 50-gram and 100-gram doses. Each person received three doses of either 50 grams or 100 grams of potato over a three-week period, at 0, 7 and 21 days. The dosage size varied in order to evaluate any side effects from eating raw potatoes.
NIAID is a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIAID conducts and supports research to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, malaria, tuberculosis, asthma and allergies. NIH is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ###

On server it's useful to monitor, and collect, data about the use of your bandwidth, in the past I've wrote an article about "Monitor your bandwidth from the Linux shell" and I've also presented 4 useful tools that you can use to have a real time monitoring of the bandwidth:
IPTState : This software is a top-like interface to your netfilter connection-tracking table. Using iptstate you interactively watch where traffic crossing your netfilter/iptables firewall is going, sort by various criteria, limit the view by various criteria. But it doesn't stop there: as of version 2.2.0 you can even delete states from the table!
pktstat displays a real-time list of active connections seen on a network interface, and how much bandwidth is being used. Partially decodes HTTP and FTP protocols to show what filename is being transferred. X11 application names are also shown.
NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic down per protocol or per subnet, like most tools do, it groups bandwidth by process. NetHogs does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded. If there's suddenly a lot of network traffic, you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing this. This makes it easy to indentify programs that have gone wild and are suddenly taking up your bandwidth.
IPTraf is a console-based network statistics utility for Linux. It gathers a variety of figures such as TCP connection packet and byte counts, interface statistics and activity indicators, TCP/UDP traffic breakdowns, and LAN station packet and byte counts.
They are all good I suggest to read my old articles to have a small introduction about them, today I want to show you
vnstat, this small program has something more than the others, it can show real time statistics, but the feature that this small program shines it's its ability to collect data over a long period of time.

Christian Cullen's astonishing try at Carisbrook against the Wallabies in the Tri-Nations test of 1997 was but one of many remarkable aspects of what was a somewhat freakish test.
French referee Joel Dume, apparently because of his language difficulties, lost some control and especially in the second spell went whistle-happy, awarding a staggering 42 penalties, 26 in the second spell alone.
And after being up 36-0 at half-time, the All Blacks, probably because of being unsettled by the refereeing, went scoreless in the second spell whereas the Wallabies scored 24 points.
There was also a rather unseemly scene when Justin Marshall was substituted at halfback with 17 minutes left for Ofisa Tonu'u and did little to conceal his annoyance. Subbing was relatively new in 1997 and players were not as used to it as they have become in recent years.
But while it was a game which provided plenty of headlines the abiding memory was of Cullen's try. The gifted fullback scored 46 tries in his 58 tests, many of them stunning individual efforts, and his tally was a record until overhauled by Doug Howlett.
Cullen's Carisbrook special was arguably the best, particularly when the quality of opposition was taken into account. In an 80m run he embarrassed an Australian backline which contained some great players like Stephen Larkham, Joe Roff, Ben Tune and Jason Little.
The try began with another player of individual genius in No8 Zinzan Brooke, who took an attempted clearing kick from Larkham and immediately hurled a long pass to his left to Cullen.
In many ways Cullen's try was executed with a deceptive simplicity for only one of the Wallaby defenders was beaten one-on-one.
Rather than being turned inside out the rest were left stranded by Cullen's acceleration and ability to change his pace and surge again when he suddenly burst into the clear after running on to Brooke's pass.
John Hart was All Black coach in Cullen's first four years in the side and recalls this try as being typical of his flair, especially in 1996-97 when he was able to beat even the many world class players in the Wallabies with his speed, acceleration and step.
Because of his ability to score tries like this Cullen invariably figures on any shortlist of the greatest All Black fullbacks. Whether he had the all-round qualities of some of the other legendary fullbacks like George Nepia, Bob Scott and Fergie McCormick, or a potent boot like Don Clarke, probably makes that a moot point.
Indeed, of the international fullbacks of the 1980s and 1990s Hart rates France's Serge Blanco as the best, but has considerable regard for Cullen. "At his best Christian Cullen was absolutely magic," he says.
The special niche he has is perhaps similar to that of Sid Going among halfbacks, in that, until he lost some of his zip after suffering a series of knee injuries in the early 2000s, he had incomparable attacking skills which made him a try-scorer supreme.
Great tries:
1960: 1960: Peter Jones vs South Africa
1971: Ian Kirkpatrick vs British and Irish Lions
1987: John Kirwan vs France
1995: John Lomu vs England
1997: Christian Cullen v Australia
2000: Jonah Lomu v Australia

Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.
Natural root (also called bare root) trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant in the spring and fall seasons. We dip the roots in a hydrating gel to keep them moist during shipping.
There are a number of advantages to natural root trees:
The Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University has an interesting article about the benefits of planting natural root trees. Look for the PDF entitled Creating the Urban Forest: The Bare Root Method
Potted (also called containerized) trees come in 4" containers.

text: I currently have a 96 Suburban 2500 that we bought last year to tow our 23' toy hauler (about 9000# loaded). It does alright, but hates the steep hills. I have ended up using it as my work truck for my business that I started and it gets dirty. My wife also wants a 4x4 for herself. So with all of that said we are thinking to get rid of her Honda Accord and buying an additional Suburban/Yukon XL. We are looking to get a little bit newer one with the 8.1. I am going on Saturday to look at an 01 2500 Yukon XL with the 8.1, 4.10 gears, sunroof, everything. It is listed at $6900. There is about 2 square feet of damage on the rear quarter. The owner jack knifed a small trailer into it and it needs repaired. It also has a bad sensor for the auto ride. It has brand new AC and other than that has not had any issues. Today I found an 01 2500 Suburban loaded with everything but the sun roof. The gears are the 3.7. It has a 4 or 6 inch Fabtech lift with 35" tires. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. I'm not sure if it has aftermarket gears or not (hopefully it does). I don't think the 3.7's with the bigger tires are going to help my towing. It is priced at $7,900 Both have around 135,000 miles, are black, have tan leather. What should I be looking for on the lift to make sure it is good? The ad stated that it had autoride so I'm assuming they have the shock extensions. Assuming both are in decent condition which way would you go? I have a friend who does bodywork that says he can repair the quarter panel of the first one for about $400 and the owner said the autoride part was about $300. I love lifts. This will become my wife's DD (Yes I know the gas mileage sucks, but she doesn't drive that far). ---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

From an evolutionary biologist's year in Kenya's Amboseli basin, both research and a fine-press book are emerging
Anna Lena Phillips
Two thousand nine was a hard year for the inhabitants of Kenya's Amboseli basin. Courtney Fitzpatrick, a Ph.D. candidate in evolutionary biology at Duke University, was there to see it. During a year-long Fulbright fellowship with the Amboseli Baboon Research Project (ABRP) in 2009 and 2010, Fitzpatrick was present for the worst drought the country had experienced in decades. She witnessed the devastating results for local people and for wildlife populations.
To connect with friends and family in the United States, and to help cope with the scenes unfolding before her, Fitzpatrick began to write lyric essays, which she painstakingly posted to her blog over the field station's spotty Internet connection. A single piece could take an afternoon to upload—a short time in the world of writing, but an age in the world of the Internet. The making of these essays, like the letters scientist-explorers wrote in earlier times, spans physical distance and challenges our conceptions of time and effort.
On her return to the United States, Fitzpatrick decided that she wanted to present a formal record of her experience in Amboseli. The longing for her North Carolina community that she experienced in Kenya led her to collaborate with Dave Wofford of Horse & Buggy Press, a letterpress printing and design studio in Durham, North Carolina, to create Maji Moto: Dispatches from a Drought, a limited-edition fine-art book that will be released in April. (Maji Moto is the name of a watering hole in Amboseli; the Swahili phrase means "hot water.")
Fitzpatrick's essays form the text of the book. It also features photography—a medium that is essential to her research. During her field work, Fitzpatrick studied the evolution of exaggerated estrus swellings in female baboons. In an effort to find out whether this trait evolved as a consequence of sexual selection pressure, she measured the swellings of female baboons in Amboseli and examined variation in their size. Her main tool in this effort was the camera.
Susan Alberts is codirector of the ABRP and professor of biology at Duke University. She serves as Fitzpatrick's adviser. "There's of course a long tradition of using photos to analyze morphology," she says, "but what's less common, because it's harder, is using photos to measure the size of a morphological feature." She notes that this technique has been used to measure the size of elephants and polar bears. "A little bit of error in measuring an object that's several meters high is not that big a deal," she notes, "whereas a little bit of error in measuring an object that's maybe 8 to 10 centimeters across is huge." To measure the swellings, Fitzpatrick needed a very precise method. She bought a Photoscale II caliper that, when attached to a camera lens, measures the distance to the baboon being photographed. This, in turn, allowed her to estimate the size of the estrus swelling from a digital image. "Courtney collected the largest dataset ever accumulated on sexual swelling size in nonhuman primates, and she did so in a wild primate population," says Alberts. The results from Fitzpatrick's research in Kenya will form the basis of her dissertation. Fitzpatrick plans to work on theoretical models of evolution by sexual selection during a postdoctoral position at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) beginning in January 2013.
Fitzpatrick's undergraduate degree is in studio art, so it made sense for her to use the camera in her research. She carried it during her field work and could not resist turning its lens on the landscape and its inhabitants. As the drought wore on, she documented its effects in photographs and in text. In an entry dated September 2009, she writes:
Cows, calves, wildebeest, elephants, buffalo. They are dying in droves. Forget sleeping groves and water holes, you could map this place by its dying and dead. They are pushpins marking the intersection of space and time.
In Maji Moto, the essays are rendered on clean, wide pages in an elegant font, more in keeping with earlier traditions of reportage than with the Internet. They are complemented by reproductions of Fitzpatrick's photographs; the book is hand bound in letterpress-printed covers. The limited edition recalls John James Audubon's bird books—and as Audubon did, Fitzpatrick is selling copies of the book in advance to offset the costs of its production. There are a few differences in approach: Audubon hunted animals and sold their skins to further support his publication; Fitzpatrick has launched a Kickstarter campaign.
But these strategies may be more similar than they appear. Audubon catered to the desires of people in his time; furs were a marker of social class. One present-day luxury, and a marker of social identity, is supporting artists in doing their work—as Kickstarter's popularity attests. The book, and a collection of large broadsides with letterpress printed text and giclée printed photographs, will be on view at an exhibition in Horse & Buggy's gallery in downtown Durham, from April 12 to June 30, 2012.
It's easy to recall earlier examples of this sort of project, such as Maria Sibylla Merian's 17th-century paintings of the insects of Suriname, from a time when disciplines were less specialized and scientific discourse less codified. The standardization of science in the 1800s improved the communication of research, but this process also narrowed the field of who could present science and how it was presented, minimizing the naturalists' reports that had so entranced the public. Scientists' desire to report directly from the field persists—in 2011, for instance, Harvard University Press published Field Notes on Science and Nature, a collection of working scientists' field notes and essays about them. Memoirs of field work and literary nonfiction about the natural world are published fairly regularly, and the Internet's now-clichéd democratization of publishing has encouraged more people to engage in writing. But projects that present field experience through fine art and writing are harder to find.
Fitzpatrick considers herself a beneficiary of the tradition of naturalists and field biologists. But visual art has been an equally important influence. "I've always been interested in animal behavior," she says, "but it was actually through my undergraduate art classes that I had that stereotypical experience of meeting one's own intellect. Having been trained as an artist and trained to think like an artist—even though it wasn't a lot of training—has hugely informed the way I approach science."
Alberts has supported Fitzpatrick in her creative work. "Creativity is vitally important to doing science," Alberts says. "Scientists know this, but the public doesn't always. If a scientist is evaluating the work of another scientist, they'll ask how creative they are in their work."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Yes that is a real picture of my hometown Temecula, California. We feature premiere Wineries, World Class Golf Courses, Pechanga Indian Casino and Hot Air Balloons
For those who are using canned air you might want to check out this site http://bearhugquiltworks.blogspot.co...s-to-wise.html
I have never used canned air in any of my machines. And after I saw this article I was very glad that I hadn't!
Yes that is a real picture of my hometown Temecula, California. We feature premiere Wineries, World Class Golf Courses, Pechanga Indian Casino and Hot Air Balloons
I bought a $35 portable vacuum cleaner (for the car) at Walmart and I attach my Clotilde vacuum attachments to it. It has a hose on it. It has a charger on it also, so no messy plug ins. I found it in the vacuum isle at Walmart. Some Walmarts carry them in the car department. They are the size of a small breadbox. Very handy. They come with lots of attachments. I use it for the car and around the house and for the sewing machine (attaching the mini attachments to it).
"Be yourself...everyone else is taken."
Strong people don't put others down...they build them up."
"Remember that your instincts are more important than rules"
I agree that the little battery operated computer vac is useless. It isn't strong enough to suck up anything, but...
It does come with a nice attachment for getting into the tiny areas around the bobbin.
So, I got out my duct tape....and secured the attachment to the hose of my hand held vac. That works great. And because it's a hand held vac, if I accidently vac up something important, it's not hard to find in the little lint filter. That wouldn't be fun in a regular vacuum!
I used to be "hot", now it's just "hot flashes!"
Stores like Lowes have some small handhelds for shop use. I have a 1gal wet and dry in the garage. Small and light. Has a hanger. If you just keep it in the house and use it for sewing room, it makes no difference that it's a small shop vac.
Ladies, ladies, you can buy the vacuum set at WalMart and Harbor Freight. It's around $10 at WalMart and les than that at HF.
Four things you can't recover: The stone.....after the throw. The word......after its said. The occasion.....after its missed. The time......after its gone
I have a Riccar sewing machine vacuum from years ago and I like it a lot.
I used canned air on the outside of my machine, to blast lint off of the presser foot and the like, but only with the plate ON so nothing goes into the machine. And when I pull the bobbin case out I'll blast that separately, but I don't blast anything inside the machine because it's not really going anywhere except deeper into the machine.
I use a little plastic-bristled paintbrush to grab lint gobbers. The longer handle lets me dip into the machine easier and it's kind of splayed out from years of usage so if I just touch lint, it'll grab it. I reach into areas the dealer would probably tell me to stay out of, but I'm careful and gentle and so far all is well. DON'T use a natural brush, the bristles will come out.
Canned air works to blast the lint off the brush too. (Aimed into a trash can, of course) It's also good for scattering annoying cats!! LOL (I don't actually shoot the cats with the air, just the noise scares them off.)
I use pipe cleaners (leftovers from my DH) or chenille stems from the craft dept. to sweep into tight spots on my machine. Isn't it amazing how much lint can gather under the bobbin? I'm also amazed at how much lint some fabric deposits under the blade of my rotary cutter. Need to disassemble it once in a while too!

Cirque du Soleil (French for "Circus of the Sun,") is an entertainment company. Based in Montréal, Québec, Canada, it was founded in 1984 by two former street performers, Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier.
Each show is a synthesis of circus styles from around the world, with its own central theme and storyline. They draw the audience into the performance through continuous live music, with performers rather than stagehands changing the props, and by having no curtains. In the late 1980s Nouvelle Expérience was created – with the direction of Franco Dragone – which not only made Cirque profitable by 1990, but allowed it to create new shows. The multiple permanent Las Vegas shows alone play to more than 9,000 people a night, 5% of the city's visitors, adding to the 70+ million people who have experienced Cirque.
Cirque's creations have been awarded numerous prizes and distinctions, including Bambi, Rose d'Or, three Gemini Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards. In 2004, Interbrand's poll of brand names with the highest global impact ranked Cirque du Soleil as number 22.
A new touring show beginning in April (working title: Cirque 2009) is to be directed by renowned Brazilian choreographer/dancer Deborah Colker.

The Kills Announce Release Date for 4th Studio Album, Blood Pressures
What an announcement, and specifically on 1/11/11 around 11:11am to boot. It's like the mega madness mondo radness of wishes coming true! In their words: The Kills are very excited to announce that their 4th album Blood Pressures will be released around the world (excluding the U.S.A.) on April 4th, and in the U.S.A. on April 5th. To let you know a little about the new record, we've included the track listing for you... which is a lot like looking at a list of words. Enjoy.
We recorded Blood Pressures at Key Club in the state of Michigan, with Bill Skibbe and Jessica Ruffins. Jamie HInce produced the record and Bill Skibbe co-produced. Whilst in Michigan, Alison went through 52 blank cassette tapes in her 4-track recorder. Jamie bought 3 guitars and a mellotron. The studio dogs ate 360 pounds of dog food. We drank all the red wine, watched VHS tapes on Vietnam, got blown down thte street by hurricane force winds, watched lightning storms, rode bicycles / crashed bicycles. We started a game of rummy and never finished it. We tried to BBQ and realized we weren't that way inclined.Soup was better. Soup is better. And so it went, the record was completed... but not in Michigan! We finished the last few songs in London with our Michigan friends and Alison found a dog to borrow to have the studio to make things more "normal". Does this sound confusing? Good. We'll be in touch.

Residents in and around Memphis, Tennessee, spent the weekend preparing for a destructive flood. The swollen Mississippi River was expected to crest, or reach its highpoint for that area, early this week.
At 2 a.m. on Tuesday, the river crested at 47.85 feet. That is below the 48.7-foot record set by a devastating 1937 flood. But low-lying neighborhoods were soaked, and hundreds of people were forced from their homes.
The Worst Is Over
Now that the river has hit its highpoint, it is expected to stay at about the same level for up to 36 hours. Then it should begin to recede. "Pretty much the damage has been done," said National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Borghoff.
The city's famous musical landmarks including Elvis Presley's mansion, Graceland, were protected by levees—man-made barriers built to keep a river from overflowing. "The levees are performing as designed I'm happy to report," Army Corps of Engineers Colonel Vernie Reichling Jr. told The Early Show on CBS.
A Massive Cleanup
Now authorities are turning their attention to the massive cleanup ahead. President Barack Obama declared five counties disaster areas, which means they are eligible to receive aid from the federal government.
Local officials say such help is much needed. "[The water is] going to recede slowly," says Bob Nations Jr., director of the Shelby County Emergency Management Agency. "It's going to be expensive to clean up. It's going to be labor-intensive."
The Mighty Mississippi
The Mississippi is one of the largest rivers in the world. Originating at Lake Itasca in Minnesota, it flows south through the center of the continental United States and empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
Due to heavy rains and snowmelt, the river has reached record levels in some areas this year. Now that the worst is over for Memphis, cities located farther south along the river are bracing themselves for more flooding. "I think we'll breathe a sigh of relief once this crest has passed and is in the Gulf of Mexico," said Reichling.

Hurts to see the Cowboys look like the best team in the NFC east
anyone but them
If you are seeing the game you'll see the refs gave them all the calls in that last drive, they turned down a " clear " INT, they didn't called a false start in 3 and 5 and called a face mask that was a BS call.
" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
It makes it even sweeter that Dallas blew this game despite getting every single call from the refs. And how about Dez Bryant storming off the field like a 2 year old with 1:20 to go. Yeah his sideline antics are just positive emotions and motivation, right? Lol, stupid Cowgirl fans.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Apollo Creed, Nov 28, 2012.
Wow ...... a great guy and fan.
It's not just the losing.
It's that the players honestly don't seem to give a rip. There was a time when you could see the pain in the players' eyes at the end of the game.
Now, I honestly don't think it bothers them past the 30-minute drive home. Just like my kids after a soccer game.
Yep, sure am.. SHE is my wife not you and she was perfectly fine with it so pull your panties out of their bunch, and far as fan... Since 1973 buddy and right now I'm about as good a fan as the Cowboys owner is a GM. Just because I don't support his money making doesn't mean I don't support the team.
I wonder what would happen if the cowboys took the field sunday night and everyone boo'd them
i wonder what would happen if people stood in the stands in cowboys gear holding up a sign that said "hurry up and choke, its decemeber" and "hurry up and choke i have better things to do"
Same here dude.
I used to get sick, let it ruin my week, couldn't watch Sportscenter. Was extremely emotionally vested in this group. It was because I really believed they had what it takes to win.
After watching the Giants walk right through us on their way to 2 Super Bowls I realized that this team didn't have what it takes.
But the more I look back on it this team always had glaring holes somewhere that prevented it from moving forward. Either in the secondary, or along the offensive line, or at ILB. Every year there was a unit that got completely exposed all year long, and you can't put that on coaching - they just weren't talented enough.
This year is no different, our offensive line is arguably the worst in the league, they can't run the ball to save their life, the defense can't force turnovers, entirely too much pressure is put on Romo. It's just not an environment conducive for winning consecutive games against good teams.
I don't care enough to look up the records but I'm curious to know this team's records against winning and losing teams over the past 3 years. Because if I'm not mistaken the only ones I can remember are against the 49ers in OT last year and against the Giants in the opener this year.
So it was always really silly to presume that this group would magically be able to beat good teams back to back, which is exactly what it takes to make runs in December and January.
It's all about tempering expectations and I think we're finally starting to get realistic about what we have here. Which is a .500 football team.
And the sad part is, over the past 5 years the league has become designed for every team to have a chance every year. Parity is what Goodell wanted, and it's what he's gotten. It's not like the 90s when you had to built dynasties, if you have a good QB you can go to the playoffs in today's NFL - and Dallas has one, they just haven't been able to do anything remotely Romo friendly since Jerry made that statement years back. Which would be building him a line to give him time to throw and to give him a running game to lean on when he's not on his A game, because the guy is plenty good enough to win. He just can't do it alone.
Until those things stop happening, not much will happen.
So true. Folks need to send a real message and stop going to the games and buying stuff.
Think about it. Sunday night primetime and no one is in the stands. That would be a message.
But it's never going to happen, so why should Jerry listen to the fans.
During this season, I have gone from one extreme to another and back. Part of me says, "It ain't that serious...it's just a game. How the Cowboys perform is not a reflection of me." But on the other hand, this season also has me questioning why I bother to watch in the first place. It simply is not entertaining anymore. It feels a bit like punishment watching this team embarrass themselves.
Right in the middle of their team prayer no less.
Bingo! my feelings exactly...
Yup! That was priceless! :laugh2:
Good post, its funny you mentioned parity because the salary cap is what did JJ in. The salary cap means that the smartest organizations will rise above the others, you can't just spend your way out of your mistakes.
That is what I said.
Been a fan since the 70's. love the Cowboys more, I've missed weddings, birthdays, etc. watching these guys all these years ( pre DVR).
I was yelling and screaming early on this year just like every other year, but now things have changed. I hate to lose so bad, and usually need time to get over, but now I'm almost hoping we lose because we can free ourselves of this horrible coach. It's the truth, and I've never been that way. That's how bad I want a change.
If you watch the game you are supporting his money making.
Ratings equals dollars in Jerry Jones pocket.
If the realist really want to hurt Jerry ......they will stop watching Cowboy games and stop all internet activities related to the Cowboys.
True Story .......
Prior to this year, I could not stand losing to the Redskins. I hate them and the Steelers more than anything. Losing to them would wear on me until we beat them again. During last weeks game I found I just didn't care. Even when we made a late run I knew they wouldn't be able to complete it. This team just can't start or finish anything.
Couple that with the fact that you see guys laughing on the bench while we're getting our butts kicked and I wonder why I should care since they obviously don't.
Do you EVER remember seeing guys laughing or joking around on the sideline when Laundry/Staubach or Jimmy/Troy/Michael/Emmitt were playing? It would not be tolerated as it is now. The losing culture has set in to Dallas and it's going to be around for a while. But we do have the best paycheck collectors of all teams.....
This is probably me as well, except my earliest memory of them was Super Bowl 10 in January 1976. My Dad was rooting for them in a house filled with Steeler fans. I liked the star on the helmet and hell, my Dad was rooting for them.
I tried not to care in week 2 at Seattle around the 4th quarter. I tried again with about 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter of the Bears game. I keep coming back here during the week, after the games, whenever. I keep going back to the tv set Sunday after Sunday. It's a lost cause to try and be disinterested for me.
Somehow, with 2 young daughters and a bunch of nieces and nephews, I'm still able to squeeze in 3 hours to watch this team every week, or at least DVR it and watch it late on Sunday. At 42 years old, I doubt being a supporter of this team will change much. Its in the blood now and there is no turning back.
So in other words, you don't care whether they win or lose. You just enjoy watching the shiny uniforms run around on the TV.
Well, excuse some of us for giving a damn.
I go back to the Ice Bowl. I used to live and die with every play and every game. Now I watch the games when they play but it just doesn't mean much to me.
The Dallas Cowboys used to mean something in the NFL. Even though they didn't win the Super Bowl every year, they were always relevant .
The bottom line is we are not relevant anymore. We are the Titans, the Bills, the Jaguars, The Browns.

Canadian tourist Seeka Lee Veevee Parsons has become the most unpopular people in the nation of New Zealand because she made clear the word, "Eskimo" was not appropriate to use, and, in particular, it should not be used in selling an "Eskimo Lolly" which is among the best selling candies in New Zealand. She was being interviewed at a tourist location and expressed the view using the word "Eskimo" in any respect was an insult to an Inuit woman. Ms. Parsons said no one in Canada used the expression "Eskimo" anymore because it was viewed as a racist term. The Eskimo Lolly is a multi-colored marshmallow candy in the shape of a person wearing a thick hooded jacket in front of an igloo.
Thousands of New Zelanders expressed their anger at the tourist from Canada for insulting their candy. I have spent my life eating Eskimo pie ice creams and must now reconsider by doing so if I am part of a racist denial of the personhood of the Inuits. Of course, back in Canada, there is a football team named the "Edmonton Eskimos" which apparently is OK.


text: Today I decided to cover rebuilding a Bendix Original Coaster Brake hub. I have had this hub sitting on the bench, on shelves, in the hub parts drawer, etc for over a year now just waiting to be rebuilt. I kept waiting until I found the right project bike that it would go on. That bike still isn't here and I got bored today, so here it is. We will begin with the factory drawings so we can see what we are getting into. As you can see the Original coaster and the Red Band are very similar and this thread will help you with a rebuild on either. The RB2 hub has many similarities as well, the main difference you will find with the RB2 is they integrated the brake shoe keys into the expanders. As with all my post in the UCB Hub Project this hub has been torn down, cleaned, and reassembled before I began the pictures so you can see all the parts clearly. Begin by removing the lock nut on the on the brake arm side. Remove the brake arm and the dust cover. Next loosen the lock nut and cone nut on the drive side. Once they have been loosened you can unscrew and remove the Anchor End Expander. Remove the axle from the drive side of the hub. Turn the driver/sprocket assembly counter-clockwise to disengage the driver from the drive clutch and remove it. The rest of the parts should now slide out of the hub shell. Here is what you be looking at now. Once you have cleaned and inspected everything we can begin reassembly. Start by setting the driver/sprocket assembly on the bench and setting the hub on top. Drop the drive clutch/retarder/expander into the hub and screw it onto the driver. The two brake shoe keys will slip into their slots and the brake shoes will follow. Slip the Anchor End Expander in so the brake keys slide into the slots in the Expander. Pick up the hub assembly by lifting the sprocket. Carefully hold the hub while you slide the axle into the hub and screw it into the Anchor End Expander. Now you can install the dust cap, brake arm and lock nut. Adjust the hub cones properly before snugging down the lock nuts.
