I built three new aks. One of them will shoot the first round, and eject, load second round, but the hammer does not cock for the second round. Anyone got any ideas. I can't see any difference between it and my others.

I built three new aks. One of them will shoot the first round, and eject, load second round, but the hammer does not cock for the second round. Anyone got any ideas. I can't see any difference between it and my others.
so when you charge the first round in it feeds that one fine and picks up the second round and the hammer follows the bolt back and isn't cocked?
Sounds like the hammer may be rubbing on the bolt. Is it hard to charge?
When you have the bolt to the rear and release does it go forward smoothly or does it feel like its dragging?
Make sure the carrier is smooth on the rails. With the return spring out the carrier should move very free. IF it is the next thing I would check is making sure your disconnector moves free. If it is "sticky" you might not be catching the sear. Make sure the safety has enough room so the trigger and all parts can move with easy and not hit/bind up.
Sounds like the disconnected isn't catching the hammer, alowing the hammer to follow the bolt.
If everything on your rifle is in spec, receiver, axis pin locations, rails, etc., more than likely it is the disconector/spring.
If you have another FCG, you can switch out the trigger parts one at a time to determine the problem.
Edit for double post gremlins.
I agree with the above comments
it sounds like the disconnector I had this problem in january I switched out the disconnector and i was good to go
as indicated above the rails may also need to be sand papered down abit to remove any burrs
Check you didnt put the hammer in backwards. Ask me h
ow i know :)
Thanks for the advise. The hammer is indeed following the bolt. The carrier is a little snug going across the hammer. I did try to slick all that stuff up a little this morning. I will take it back apart and look disconnector and spring over.
Did you perform a FCG function check to see if there is hammer follow?
Disregard the receiver type. Here is the function check>
troubleshooting page
I had that problem once. Hand cycling worked fine but firing it the hammer would follow, sometimes. My disconector was functioning fine, it needed a microscopic amount of metal removed from the rear top of the hammer shelf where the disconnector catches. On another earlier build that I didnt harden the fcg pin holes the hammer pin hole wallowed out enough to let the hammer ride farther up just enough to not let the disconnector catch.

It is, quite honestly, the story that will never end.
Joslyn James, AKA Veronica Siwik-Daniels, the Tiger Woods porn star mistress who said she was twice impregnated by Woods after unprotected sex, is set to star in "The Eleventh Hole." According to the press release, it is a
"movie that will depict never-before-told intimate details of her three-year relationship with the golf champion."
The movie will be released by porn giant Vivid under its Vivid-Celeb imprint. That label has previously released movies featuring celebrities having sex, including Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Kim Kardashian, former Miss USA Kelli McCarty and Playboy Playmate and reality TV star Shauna Sand.
In an earlier interview, James said:
"Even at major tournaments we would manage to hook up, and in fact it wasn't unusual for us to have sex four or five times a day."The picture above shows James at an audition for actors for the role of Tiger Woods in the film. The movie is scheduled to release on May 17th.

The opening line on the second album from Ruban Nielson's Unknown Mortal Orchestra (UMO), is a rather dark and compelling thought: "Isolation can put a gun in your hand".
Nielson wrote most of the songs on II while he was on tour - a whirlwind state of existence he's been trying to cope with since the first UMO album came out in 2010 and found international acclaim, and there's something in the new tracks that reflect the delirious lack of control, and often a feeling of loneliness, late at night, on the road.
On almost lullaby-esque Swim and Sleep he sings "I wish I could swim and sleep like a shark does, I'd fall to the bottom and I'd hide 'til the end of time in the sweet cool darkness" - sometimes even rock stars just want to go home and sleep.
The first UMO album had a cheeky light-hearted beatnik atmosphere, while II finds the usually wild and free Nielson sounding, dare I say it, quite mature, even heartfelt - and yet it's still an undeniably seductive, hook-filled collection.
In typical Nielson fashion, classic 60s pop influences meld with some deeply funk and soul-infused grooves, along with little baroque motifs, and jazz progressions. Delightful guitar lines (as on album opener From the Sun) are equally weighted by a palette of synths (like the Woodstock-ish epic Monki), and a rock and roll feel, like the rat-a-tat beat on No Need For a Leader, all ensconced in a warm, fuzzy aura.
Nielson seems more paternal than ever before - "who cares what God is, or what a guitar is, or that you were born. Monki, he wanted you". Throughout it all, there's a sort of tender touch, a considered, worldly outlook, and even the occasional hint of fatherly advice in his musings on his own life.
That doesn't mean it's lacking in any of the smart and snappy cool that has always been present in his songs, it's still an album that makes you wish you had cooler, more savvy dance moves. One At a Time somehow manages to meld desperation with free-wheeling abandon, The Opposite of Afternoon has a excellently hedonistic, fruity late-Beatles feel, and No Need For a Leader becomes a toe-tapping anthem to disillusionment. But it's So Good at Being in Trouble that makes the most immediate impression, and will keep repeating in your head long after the stereo's been switched off; beautifully wistful in its simplicity. Who could forget a line like "she was so good at being in trouble, so bad at being in love"?
Stars: 5/5
Verdict: Serious and seductive second album
Buy II by Unknown Mortal Orchestra here.

The Kind of Journalism Worth Defending

Journalism should be a celebration of life in all its vibrant, chaotic, exuberant variety. It calls people to come out to the circus. It's ruined by pretension and high-mindedness. Journalists are not there to pronounce absolution on a fallen world. They're not there to call us to a better life. They are there to show us who we are and how we live.

Bacon adds nice crunch and flavor to the sauce for the dressed-up green beans I serve for our Christmas ham dinner. Since this dish goes well with many other foods, too, it's a recipe I use often throughout the year. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma
Recommended: Mom's Best Comfort Foods
- 6 cups fresh green beans
- 4 bacon strips, diced
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
- 1/2 cup milk
- Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute onion in drippings until tender. Stir in soup and milk until blended; heat through. spoon over beans. Sprinkle bacon over top. Yield: 8 servings.

IT officers are getting more efficient, but guess what keeps them up at night?
IT officers are getting more efficient, but guess what keeps them up at night?
Utility innovation is pushing Internet-technology (IT) investment forward, but security still causes utility chief information officers (CIOs) to lose sleep.
Xcel Energy CIO Mike Carlson, who takes pride in the company's well established leadership in IT innovation, isn't resting on those laurels. "I'd like information security to become a lot easier," he says. "It's probably the thing that keeps us up awake right now. There's got to be a way to make it easier. It's going to require some investment, but unfortunately, it's not the type of investment that shows a natural return."
Investment isn't as large an issue for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), for which President Bush has proposed a budget of $34.4 billion in the coming year—up $2.3 billion from last year's funding level. The department manages the nation's overall critical infrastructure and key resources protection framework, and oversees National Infrastructure Protection Plan development and implementation. "A corporate environment isn't all that different from the systems management we have here [at DHS]," says Scott Charbo, CIO for DHS. "If you're a co-op, you probably have a lot of the same challenges I do."
At Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), an arm of the Department of Energy (DOE), CIO Larry Buttress doesn't receive anywhere near the level of IT funding for DHS, but he worries about BPA's critical infrastructure. "I'd have to say security is becoming more and more of an issue for us," Buttress says. "That's the one thing I want to make sure we do a good job of."
For transco ITC Holdings, it's not security so much as mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that are having the biggest impact on IT considerations. Late last year, the company completed its acquisition of Michigan Electric Transmission Co. (METC). "The complexity of maintaining a real-time SCADA system with 200-plus geographically dispersed locations cannot be overstated," says ITC Holdings Director of Information Services and Facilities, Denis DesRosiers.
Our "CIO Forum" highlights these four IT professionals, as they grapple with challenges related to funding, staffing, and outsourcing. And a little insomnia.
Mike Carlson, CIO, Xcel Energy
Fortnightly: You've been CIO since February of last year. What prepared you for your new responsibilities?
Carlson: I spent three years here as practice lead with Arthur Andersen doing integration work when New Century Energies Inc. and Northern States Power Co. merged. Following that, I came here to head up the Program Management Office (PMO). We basically re-engineered the PMO for a value-delivery model. Following that, I picked up responsibility for what we call Business Transformation and Governance, which continued the PMO but leveraged the technology investment for incremental transformation and change. Two-and-a-half years ago I picked up the operations side of it, which, in our case, predominantly is an outsource model with IBM. For almost two years I was responsible for all of our IT operations.
In addition to traditional IT, I also own Utility Innovations and transformation initiatives from a value-creation perspective for the company. Lastly, I own security

The long awaited weekend has arrived. Too bad for the dumb drought, otherwise I would have a lot more work to do. I bought nine new supers this year and three new hives, and though the bees survived, all my new supers are empty. They just didn't make any new wax once I stopped feeding. All they filled was last year's comb.
1. So I want to know, when I finish extracting the full supers, should I put them all back on the original hive so the bees can clean them, or can I distribute them to the other three and see if those bees could benefit from the honey scraps?
2. Also, what happens to all the bees that are displaced when I take away 2/3 of their living space? They cling to the box for a while... then what? Do they just die? Is there a better way to use their services?

Seems like the moving down is the major topic of concern in the Warre world. Its weird that Mr. Warre didn't address the problem in his book
I wonder if thinner TB's would help ?
"Nature does nothing uselessly." Aristotle
The problem I see with thinner TB's is that it might not be strong enough to hold the combs that are built on them. I toyed with that idea but chickened out of it.
I'd be inclined to make the topbars into actual frames. Leave the frames foundationless (Warre does mention doing this for ease of extraction and for keeping the drawn comb which is very useful), but being fully framed they are much easier to move and inspect as and when wanted.
Yes building the full frames is harder than just making a topbar, and some would say if you're going to that length why not just go the next step and use a Lang hive, but I think the pay off might be worth it. Note I don't keep Warres (one is on the drawing board for spring) so don't say this from experience, just book smarts. :P
I learned from another forum to build "ladders" to place in the empty boxes and the bees will gladly move up or down. I tried that last year and it worked. I used 2 halves of a foundation nailed between half topbars for my ladder since I have no access to old comb.
IMG_3433Added 2 ladders to a super.jpg
I took my scroll saw to some medium depth brood frames to make bait combs for my new Warre's. Easy way to cut it to length and cut in the frame lug.
I'm lost. Do the ladders hang in the lower empty box?
Sure looks that way, they kinda look like they fill the role of a frame of empty drawn comb.... Would that be how they work?

I hung the ladders in an empty box and placed it on top of the original hive box as a super. Four days later, I took a picture of the bees' work on the ladders through the window. It was a little humid in there but you can tell the black foundation is covered with white comb. Two weeks after that, they got busy building a third comb from the middle top bar. I was really impressed with how fast the bees could work when they put their mind to it.

You can do both. Use this box to go above or below. I plan o doing both.
Not Michael Bush. My name is Dan. Sorry for the confusion.
I have melted comb down and painted it on triangle shaped top bars before I nadir the box. The bees moved down quickly. This was after I had another nadir box in which I had been waiting for them to start building comb, but they wouldn't. I made a box to fit on top of a Warre box, but it was sized for langstroth frames, which is what the bees come on. They wouldn't move down into the Warre box until I painted the top bars of the 2nd box I nadired with beeswax. I put that one on top of the original Warre box and they finally moved down. I was able to get some wax on the first box's top bars but I wasn't able to check it as fall came on quickly. I have seen the bees a few times this winter and they seem to be doing well. This is my first beehive. Maybe you could try that method.
So you would melt comb down to pain it on top bars? Why not just put the comb in the bottom box?
Not Michael Bush. My name is Dan. Sorry for the confusion.
The wax wasn't in comb form. it was crushed.
Have you tried using some LGO rubbed inside the box? Works great in bait hives for catching swarms. Just a thought.
All things may be lawful; but not all things are advantagous.
Not Michael Bush. My name is Dan. Sorry for the confusion.
I love concept but I worry that the stamped foundation is drone sized. I think I'm going to tire it but put the ladder on the edges where the bees would normally do the drone cells.
Well I've finally got my single box bees to expand, although I'm risking the "Tower of Babel" scenario. I didn't want to add someone else's comb and I couldn't separate the old brood box comb, so I used some old comb from a failed queenless hive that swarmed late in the season. I shot some video here... http://solarbeez.com/2013/03/27/warre-worries-waning/
I think when it gets time to separate the boxes I'll use Ubernerd's hive lift to jack up the box just a bit and see-saw a cheese wire through the bottom of the attached comb...anybody ever do this? Successfully?
Sorry for the delay... Yes it seems quite often teh queens will not lay near the sreened bottom boards. I have heard its the light, and also references to the inability to control humidity and temp near the screen. no matter the reason, I am 100% sure its true. I cannot keep a queen in the bottom box with a SBB. if I try excluders the hive dwindles..... Now others will argue, so I am just reporting on what I see in my area in IL


text:
For those of you who don't, how do you get access? Do you just pull up the first bar and hope it isn't attached, or do you try a few...?
I'm just wondering because my hive is getting full. Getting rid of the follwer would offer that much more room...

st: Postfile and loop with decrasing number of variables
Mon, 8 Mar 2010 12:30:23 +0000
Dear all,
I am trying inside a loop to postfile a couple of results from different
regressions. The problem is this. When I use postfile you need to predefine
(in postfile) all the variables that will be created. However, my program
decreases the lag length of the dependent variable in every loop. Therefore,
when you post the results in the second iteration of the loop, post is
looking for a value to paste in fe4 that does not exist.
What I need at the end is for the 4 regressions (one for each loop) I want
to get the significance of each lag in a file. So in the regression with a
lag up to 4 I want to get the t-stat for the first, second, third and fourth
lag; in the regression with a lag up to 3, the t-stat for the first, second
and third lag; and so on.
Here is my code. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
tempname aa
tempfile bb
postfile `aa' fe4 fe3 fe2 fe1 using `bb'
forvalues i=4(-1)1 {
reg y …………… l(1/`i').y
sca ee`i'=(_coef[l`i'.y])/_se[l`i'.y]
post `hdle' (ee`i')
postclose `hdle'

Rachel has a mule kick....absolutely and it's not very flattering...... Caroline Z's mule kick reminds me of the old 20 mule kick soap commercial! Both need to fix it....lol
Rachel has a mule kick....absolutely and it's not very flattering...... Caroline Z's mule kick reminds me of the old 20 mule kick soap commercial! Both need to fix it....lol
I always thought she had a bit of a high kick, but it seemed more obvious at worlds. Perhaps when she lands it and does the triple toe I just ignored it. I think it is interesting that noone ever mentioned it before. I guess Carolines was much more obvious and easier to criticize since she did it on the lutz too.
There is of course one difference between Caroline's mule-kick and Rachael's. Caroline's has landed her on the podium at an ISU championship.
However, if you're talking about senior level, then yes, those mule kicks landed Caroline on the podium at 4CC this year.
She does a little bit, but not extreme as 'the queen of mule-kick, Calroline! I noticed Marai doesn't raise the leg too high when she is picking the toe into her toe jump. Maybe that's causing her with underrotattion?? Not giving her enough muscle power to rotate?
for me rachel has always had the mule kick too- but at worlds it was worse.
i noticed that caroline zhang is halfway (in other words when she bends down-it goes up past her behind)for her first jum sorry--rachels goes up to it--. rachel did it all year -just at worlds and the olympics it got worse.
sasha had mule kick at nationals went-past hip or higher than knee ,
mao used to have it higher than knee - even yu na had it but both mao and yu-na got rid of it by olympics and worlds went down to normal around ankle to no higher than knee
but most of women cleaned up skating technique so it got rid of them.
mirai started to have mule kick -but frank got rid of it.
It seems to me that mule kick is not only about how high the leg goes up, but also related to the (absence of) proper toe pick technique. I think some of the mule kickers tend to 'push against' the ice instead of actually 'hitting' it with their toe. And in Caroline and Rachael's case it looks worse because they swing the entire right leg around the hip to get more power for pushing. Mao doesn't have this swing, but she doesn't really hit the ice hard with the toe either and has this a little awkward swerve of skating blade right before take off like these two. As far as I could tell, Yuna seems to be attacking the ice the hardest as her right blade is almost perpendicular to the ice at toe pick, which would explain why she gets more height and distance in her toe jumps. Joannie also has good technique in toe jumps IMO.
This was an observation from a casual fan, and I'm not sure if it makes sense since I'm no expert in techniques. I would be glad to be enlightened by someone with more knowledge!
Who is the reining Queen of the Mule kick? Tara Lipinski
Tara had the worst mule kick that I have ever seen...on her lip and flutz.
Last edited by Mathman; 03-31-2010 at 03:46 PM. Reason: Restore original -- sorry about that!
I agree about Sasha; I didn't care too much about ladies' skating until she came along. There's not too many like her! She set the standard on spirals; no one else comes close. Well now that I think about it, Alissa is pretty close.
Last edited by Kitt; 03-31-2010 at 03:35 PM. Reason: thought of another
Sasha at 15 - according to Dick and Peggy - "exquisite," "beautiful," dainty," "perfect positions."
She set the standard for beauty in Ladies skating and most of today's skater's still can't match her.
If she only could have stayed upright in her LP's she would have owned the ice. Michelle, Irina and Shiz never would have had a chance.
One notable technique flaw that appears in many skaters' flips (and Lutz jumps) is "hammer toe," which occurs when the free leg rises unusually high, typically near (in some cases above) hip height, before descending to strike the ice. This can make the jump easier to rotate but sacrifices height and some control. Examples of skaters with "hammer toe" on their flip jumps include Caroline Zhang and Sasha Cohen.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by SDogo, Apr 30, 2006.
Man, the Eagles are doing it right this year
sure are...just traded back up to get Avant.
They are making us look bad by comparison.
Wow, now they have a #2 WR and a bunch of #4 WRs!!!! How can we defend that?
Anyone who touts a 4th round receiver in one of the worst WR crops ever needs to have their head examined.
They're doing a great job drafting name players. The OG from Georgia has bust written all over him. He's a whale.
Yeah, as much as i hate to admit it the e-girls are hitting on everything.
What did they get for Thomas and Hicks? just curious.
no one is saying he is the second coming, but he is a solid pick.
I gotta give the Eagles credit for a great draft, I'am just happy they didn't get Javon Walker.
Justice and Guilles will both be solid starters in time. Do not be surprised to see them both start their rookie years. Why did Guilles slide to the 4th, was he considered too fat? Bunkley was a steal for them. That guy is an absolute monster.
Looks to me like they got another out of shape OL (Jean-Gilles) to line up with Andrews. Justice is pretty good, but not better than Runyan at RT, they will regress at that position. They should have got Demetrius Williams over Jason Avant. Instead, they draft another "blah" type receiver that will never amount to anything in Philthy.
Reid just can't draft receivers...period.
At least wait until the end of the season before you start saying they are making us look bad.
Andrews could start for us right now, imo.
Bunkley was a steal. Gilles was 340 and is apparently getting fatter.
Justice was a steal too.
Justice was good value.
Avant...LMAO...he sucks. He'll fit right in with the rest of their WR's.
Meh, I never had him pegged as a first round pick. I never understood the fascination by some. Solid pick at #39 for sure.
half their draft is so-so. why are they making us look bad?
I have to disagree.
So many times when NAME guys fall it is for very legit reasons.
Buckley was considered a DE by many scouts though he played DT at FSU.
Justice was inconsistent and had character concerns.
Gilles is up over 350 pounds!!
In the end I think it far more likely some no name guy from bfe state winds up a "steal" than these guys.
Ya know kinda how we 'stole' Derek Ross and Antonio Bryant
I think the Eags really screwed up by not landing Javon Walker.
Winston Justice is not going to start over Runyan and is a developmental RT. To me getting him in round 2 isn't a steal but about right.
Bunkley will play DT for the Eags but they gave away Hollis Thomas for next to nothing to create the opening. Bunkley may replace Corey Simon but what did Simon ever do to hurt the Boys? In their system they really needed a quicker pass rusher at the end and didn't land that. I think they would have been best served by trading down and selecting Manny Lawson than putting him at the speed end a la Derrick Burgess who they really miss.
I am sure my dislike of the Eagles factor sinto my thoughts and wouldn't prtend they don't but a lot of paper A drafts turn into Ds on the field.
Philthy has added WR Jeremy Bloom (5-9 173) to pair with Jason Avant.
Newman and Henry are in trouble now.

Did you happen to see the latest video featuring Sierra Blair-Coyle? The one where she sprinkles chalk on her Sanuks and bangs them together to produce a cloud, hangs upside down in a climbing gym and boulders out a juggy roof at Priest Draw in Flagstaff, Arizona, wearing booty shorts that say "Roxy" on the waistband? Maybe you're one of the over 2,000 people who "liked" that video? Or—more interesting to me—maybe you're one of the many people who were bothered by it and left a derogatory or angry comment?
Every so often Rock and Ice will post videos or photos of attractive women on our website. Invariably two things will result. First, the post will generate a huge amount of traffic. Take, for example, the December 19, 2013 "teaser" where several well-known female climbers posed as pin ups for a calendar to promote the organization Climber's Against Cancer. Even though there was no climbing featured—at all—this post of scantily clad women climbers generated the highest single day of traffic to the site in history (number two was our gallery "Women of Rock").
The second thing that happens when we post vids or pics of beautiful women is that some people get mad. In response to the video of Sierra, Matt Gentile, one of the strongest Flagstaff-area climbers (and recently featured in six photos in the feature on Flagstaff in No. 216) commented: "It's pretty lame that Rock and Ice magazine considers this a good representation of climbers in Northern Arizona, or anywhere for that matter." Another commenter, Johnny Hart, wrote: "And climbing has become all bikini and makeup, oh yay the new fad."
What's interesting to me, as an editor, is the dichotomy expressed here. On one hand, a whole lot of people are clearly very interested in this content. On the other hand, some people consider it "pretty lame." What should I, as a content manager, take home from this contradictory feedback?
First of all, to state the obvious, by posting this vid on our website, Rock and Ice is not saying that Sierra Blair-Coyle is a role model or good representative of the sport, or that all female climbers should wear booty shorts. We put up content all the time that I don't personally condone. Take Alex Honnold's recent solo, for example. Just because we posted the news doesn't mean we're encouraging other climbers to climb
Sendero Luminoso without a rope. But we do try to provide news, photos and videos of all aspects of the sport that we know our readers find interesting.
Because we monitor our website, we have a very good idea of what people like to click on and the results can be neatly summarized: Sex, death and Everest. Any post about hot women, somebody dying (or defying death), or the highest mountain on earth will attract a huge number of impressions. I imagine we'd also get a ton of hits if we could report on a zombie apocalypse, but so far that hasn't happened. On slow news days, I've often wistfully fantasized about the day when we'll finally land the news story that combines all four: Hot Women Die and Have Sex on Everest. Until then, we'll just have to make do with what we get.
It's also worth noting that the comments on the Blair-Coyle video were almost entirely made up of statements about what the poster felt the video represented, not facts, but opinions brought to the video by the person writing the comment. Take for example Rob Powell's assertion that Blair-Coyle is: "Just too direct with her approach to gaining the limelight." Or Melissa Bennett who asks, "How old is this nearly naked girl?" Or Matt Gentile, again, who writes: "I know it's been suggested before, but maybe there really should be a fence built around Phoenix … " These statements point to an implicit judgment that Blair-Coyle is seeking the limelight, or too young to dress in booty shorts (she's 20), or that people from Phoenix are somehow inferior to people from Flagstaff. To me, this kind of judgmental Internet slander is more offensive than a 20-year-old woman bouldering around in next to nothing. But that's just my opinion.
I'd like to point out that 99.9 percent of the news we report, the vids we post, the articles we publish are not about hot women, death or Everest. If you go to the site or pick up the mag you'll find in-depth coverage of climbing and not much else, and that's a reflection of our vision. Sure, we could focus more on what generates impressions—but at the end of the day Rock and Ice is produced by climbers and climbing is what we're stoked on, so that's what we cover.
How are we doing? I'm interested in hearing your suggestions on content for both rockandice.com and Rock and Ice magazine. If you have ideas about how we can improve our coverage (or comments about hot women, death and/or Everest), please weigh in below.
Reader's Commentary:
Don't want to use Facebook, but still want to comment? We have you covered:Add Your Comments to this article:
My Name is Luciano Fernandes, and I´m de main editor (like you) from the biggest on-line climbing magazine from Brazil.
With a HUGE coincidence we been on the same situation as you was when publish about the Sierra´s video.
I saw this video when was released, and I though was a little bit silly, and take a option not to publish. As a normal human should behave : If you don´t like, just say "hum", and move on with your life.
A writer from our website wrote a article about fashion on Climbing and outdoor environment. Was clearly focused on whoever interesting about the subject.
After published was like a rain of rocks on us, accusing of be shallow, and feminist (!!), and the worst dirty word ever.
I did the same as you did : take the word, and protect the writer, because, after all, I am who approve or disapproved the content from the site.
As you told on your brilliant article : we work hard, doing excellent and important subjects, and for somehow people only care about girls, deaths and shallow landmarks on Everest.
We provide 3 articles at day, watch (and pay for every single one, not using torrent) several outdoor movies to do reviews, travel to do equipment reviews, contact professionals to talk about important subject, promote all Brazilian videos, do weekly interviews with people that do something on climbing community. But no, all of this is forget when some subject that a dork don´t like, and feel tuff enough to wrote silly things.
This is a "cutting mood" EVER.
Congratulations of your article again.
Don´t give up.. On the road will always show up this brainless and predigest people. The most important task is Do you job (as you do with high quality) and take a deep breath when this person insists to think the comments area of your site is like a toilet that they can put all is in their head.
If you want a friend to talk about climbing, magazines and stuff, We are always here, and yes, we talk English ;).
And we are friendly

Beautiful Security - an amazing book
Lately I had the chance to read "Beautiful Security" and I found it an amazing book. Every chapter covers a different subject and it is written by a SME in his field.
Just to give you an idea:
Ch 7. The Evolution of PGP's Web of Trust is written by the creator of the PGP – Phil Zimmermann
Ch 13. Beautiful Log Handling is written by Dr. Anton Chuvakin
CH 4. The economy of security breaches (one of my favourites) is written by Dr. Chenxi Wang from Forrester
and many more.
This is not an extremely technical book, and the authors explain why security is so beautiful, everyone speaking about a different field.
There some stories in the book, they are speaking about current problems and concepts, and there are many advices that everyone can benefit from. I took many notes from this book on how to improve some processes on my company. Also, there are some concepts I would like to implement in my company in order to improve security.
I recommend this book to everyone that does security, and some of the chapters must be read by the non-security people in that specific department (for example the developers should read Ch10 Security by design, the managers ch 1,3,4 and so on).
Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

DOHA, Qatar – Qatar Airways announced it will begin flights to Ta'if, in the Mecca province of Saudi Arabia, beginning 2 October 2013. The non-stop service from Doha will operate four-times-a-week.
"For nearly 20 years we have been steadily growing our presence and services to Saudi Arabia," said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker. "As our sixth destination, Ta'if will bring additional connectivity for passengers connecting from Asia, the Middle East and GCC countries."
The Doha – Ta'if route will be operated by a state-of-the-art Airbus A320 with an average travel duration time of just over two hours. The aircraft will feature 144 seats in a two-class configuration of 12 seats in Business Class and 132 seats in Economy. Selected aircraft will feature seatback TV screens, providing passengers with the next generation interactive on board entertainment system, featuring a choice of more than 800 audio and video on-demand options, together with an SMS text messaging service from each seat.
The launch marks the continued expansion of services by Qatar Airways to Saudi Arabia since it began in 1997 with non-stop flights to Jeddah. Since then the airline has added Riyadh, Dammam, Madinah and Gassim to its portfolio of destinations.
A View of Al Shafa Village
Ta'if Rose Plantation
Those wishing to visit Ta'if have a variety of cultural and outdoor activities to add to their trip. They include:
• Al Rudaf Park: Located south of Tai'f is a large natural park where clumps of tree lie scattered amidst magnificent weathered granite rocks. The site also has a small zoo.
• Ta'if Rose Plantation: In the month of April the rose fields are filled with these small fragrant pink roses that are picked at dawn and later distilled into expensive ta'if rose oil. Ta'if perfume has been used in several luxury perfumes including Ormonde Jayne Perfumery, Chanel and Guerlain.
• Shubra Palace: the regional museum of Ta'if, located in a building of around 1900, which served King Abdul Aziz as a lodging in the 1930s at several places on this page about Tai'f .
• Rock Carving Site: Located 40 km (25 mi) north of Ta'if, is Okaz Souk, the site of the largest and most well-known of the pre-Islamic souqs or gathering places. The souq was a scene for annual social, political and commercial gatherings. It was also the location of competitive recitation of poetry and prose. The buildings remain, including prominent outlines of walls of basaltic stone.
• Nature Reserve: At the top of Al Hada mountain is a large nature preserve at an elevation of 2100 meters above sea level. Al Hada means tranquility and this preserve of trees and plants offers a true respite. It is also good location to catch the sunset over the mountain.
• Al Shafa: A small village situated high upon the Sarawat mountains at an elevation of 2200 to 2500 meters above sea level, rich in agricultural products. The fruit gardens of Tai'f are located here. Great view for camera buffs and for those with an adventurous heart, try a camel ride.
Qatar Airways will begin operations to/from Tai'f (TIF) as per below schedule effective 2 October 2013:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday
QR1206 Departs DOH 12:55 Arrives TIF 15:20
QR1207 Departs TIF 16:10 Arrives DOH 19:10
When added in October, the new services will bring the carrier's global network to 131 destinations worldwide.
Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 16 years of operations, currently flying a modern fleet of 129 aircraft to 129 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and The Americas.
Qatar Airways has so far launched seven destinations – Gassim (Saudi Arabia), Najaf (Iraq), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Chicago (USA), Salalah (Oman), Basra (Iraq) and most recently, Sulaymaniyah (Iraq).
Over the next few weeks and months, the network will grow further with Chengdu, China (September 3), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (September 18), Clark International Airport, Philippines (October 27) and Philadelphia, USA (2 April 2014).

Concert Review: Miranda Cosgrove
The summer concert season is heating up with Miranda Cosgrove's Dancing Crazy Summer Tour! The iCarly star was totally electrifying at her New York stop at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater. Cody Simpson and Greyson Chance opened for Miranda and really got the crowd going with favorites like "On My Mind" and of course the cover of "Paparazzi." Once the show got going, Miranda performed everything we wanted to hear, like "Leave It All to Me," "About You Now," "Kissing You," and of course "Dancing Crazy." She even did a fun medley of Cee Lo Green's "Forget You," P!nk's "So What," and Britney Spears' "Till the World Ends" that had the entire audience singing along!
We captured the whole concert with our Nikon Coolpix S9100
digital cameras. The camera was really lightweight and easy to use, so we got great pics without feeling like we were dragging around an annoying piece of equipment! Plus, with the 18x optical zoom, the camera is perfect for concerts — you can take pics from the very back and still feel like you were in the front row!
If you've got cool concert pics, you can submit them to Nikon's Cool Shot Contest running now through August 17. You could win two tickets to a select event at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in New York! You'll also get two VIP passes to the tent at the venue, plus airfare, hotel, and ground transportation. Not a bad deal, right? Enter your best concert photo now at www.NikonLive.com!
Are you going to see Miranda Cosgrove in concert this summer? What song are you dying to hear her perform? Sound off in the comments!

What is a carbon footprint?
In theory, a carbon footprint is a measure of the entire green house gas emission of a particular entity (be it a corporation, and organization or an individual). Data such as this would take into account things such as transportation, production, services and others. Most commonly, carbon dioxide and methane alone are taken into account for the sake of simplicity. Once an entity's carbon footprint has been ascertained, steps may be taken to reduce its size, or to offset it in some way.

Santa Barbara Wedding from Matt Edge PhotographyThe word glamorous doesn't really do this wedding justice because it's so, so much more than that. It's a balance between the elegance of Bacara Resort and Spa and the natural beauty of the shores of Santa Barbara. That is a combo

I really like seeing that guy getting what was coming to him. He had to go.
I have not watched the whole series, as I only started watching from the point where the group leaves the city (via the roof top) to the farm.
From reading the thread I learned that this show is heavily based from a comic. So far I have enjoyed the show, but I wonder if going back and watching the first season is worthwhile, or should I just keep on watching as there is nothing that is important from previous shows?
Anyhow, I am curious to read people's advise about the best way to approach the show.

I dont care if they reincarnate the 7 blocks of granite

Stats do provide a basis of matchups though.
With that said.....thjis should be a knock down drag out fight won by 3 or 6.....Unless some unsual event of turnovers or flukey plays occurs.

You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Marvin you ran up those stats against the leagues cellar dwellers............we are an elite team
Forget the oline invincibility nonsense......we have legit all pros on our dline and our back 7 is not far off that quality
we just moved another run stopper into the saftey position- Stevie Brown
On that same note, I'll go against anyone that even considers Alex Smith to be on the same level as Eli.
Did we not do the same to the Panthers and the Browns in the 2nd half?Marvin you ran up those stats against the leagues cellar dwellers
I'll take our two headliners- Bradshaw and Wilson over theirs
Yes they can run the ball........but they cannot pass the ball nearly as good as we can in a passers league
Giants 31-17
its ridiculous to agrue these minutea endlessly
let the game begin and let the guys in the roman colors get fed to the Lions

The Teacher-Student RelationshipPaperback
About the Author
The Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche was born in the Sichuan Province of China near the Tibetan border in Eastern Tibet in 1925. At the age of seven, he was recognized as the "tulku," or consciously reincarnated spiritual being, as the great Payul contemplative, Sampa Kunkyap, and was reinstated as Tulku of Dhomang Monastery, where he took his education. Rinpoche spent many years in retreat with some of Tibet's greatest Lamas and is a fully qualified teacher of Vajrayana Buddhism.
Trained by renowned adepts, he spent much of his life in Tibet in meditative retreat. In 1959, due to the Chinese invasion of Tibet, Rinpoche fled his homeland and lived in India for twelve years. In 1972, he came to teach in America at the request of H.H. the Dalai Lama. In 1976, H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche appointed Gyatrul Rinpoche as his spiritual representative and Director of Pacific Region Yeshe Nyingpo.
Rinpoche has established several centers on the West Coast and continues to travel and teach thousands of students abroad and in the United States. With his direct style, inimitable sense of humor and genuine humility, Rinpoche's teachings provide a bridge into the direct insights of practical Buddhism, and, drawing on his extensive experience in traditional Tibet and the modern West, he brings these profound teachings to contemporary students of meditation.

text: 08 Jan 2013 Ultimate New Year escapes Previous slide Next slide 1 of 16 View All Skip Ad Every year, as dreary January slowly dredges on, thoughts inevitably turn to new challenges and distant escapes. For anyone looking for adventure this year, we present a selection of the world's most beautiful, extreme and unspoilt destinations, perfect for anyone in need of underwater discovery, wildlife encounters, cool adventures or spiritual awakening in 2013. At 400ft, the Blue Hole isn't the deepest sea cave in Belize (two others drop to 508ft and 600ft) but it is one of the most spellbinding. The dark indigo circle of water is so rich in marine life that Jacques Cousteau declared it one of the top 10 dive sites in the world. A quarter of a mile wide, with walls comprising four distinct levels of stalagmites, created when the sea dropped four times between 153,000 and 15,000 years ago, the sinkhole is home to creatures ranging from giant groupers to hammerhead sharks, which can be seen all year round in the clear, reef-protected waters. The fastest way to get there is by helicopter to Northern Two Cayes, then boat. On a day trip, after tackling the Blue Hole, a second dive can be undertaken at Half Moon Caye, with its steep coral walls, and a third at Long Caye, a dive site known for its abundant sponges, colourful corals, dolphins and turtles.

Gloria Anzaldua
Events honor author Gloria Anzaldua May 16-17
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 11, 2009)--The UTSA Women's Studies Institute and the Society for the Study of Gloria Anzaldua will host the first international conference focusing on her life and work, May 16-17 in the Buena Vista Street Building at the UTSA Downtown Campus.

A South Texas native, Gloria Anzaldua (1942-2004) was an award winning Chicana philosopher, writer, scholar and poet who wrote about borders and identities, linguistic differences, philosophies and cultural expressions. She felt borders should be fluid and unite people, rather then divide them.
More than 300 attendees representing seven countries including Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, England, Poland and the United States are expected to attend. The conference will feature presentations from some of the nation's top scholars representing University of California at Berkeley, University of California at Los Angeles, Stanford University, Arizona State University, Duke University, Vanderbilt University, The Ohio State University, University of Maryland, University of Iowa, University of Texas at Austin and University of Texas at San Antonio.
"I have a lot of students tell me that her most influential book, "Borderlands: La Frontera, The New Mestiza," has changed their lives," said Norma Cantu, UTSA professor of English and conference organizer. "Her work has impacted how we think about borders globally, and as they are being rethought and renegotiated, Gloria's writings are critical to those discussions."
In conjunction with the conference, the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, 922 San Pedro Ave., will host an art exhibit, "El Mundo Zurdo," at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 16, featuring artists who were inspired by her writings.
The conference's final event "Tardeada de Poesia" at 3 p.m., Sunday, May 17 will feature poetry readings by local and visiting poets at Trinity University's Northrup Hall Room 040.
The conference follows a November 2007 symposium in San Antonio on Anzaldua's work that was so well received it led to the discussions that established an international conference to take place every 18 months.
Before the conference, participants will pay homage to Anzaldua on the fifth anniversary of her death by riding a bus to the Rio Grande Valley community of Hargill, where she was buried.
Registration is $75 and covers conference materials and lunch on Saturday. For more information, e-mail email@example.com.

Reviews of this property
We enjoyed our stay here. Marianne is a nice lady.It is a big apartment with all necessary facilities. The location is really good (close to railway station and it is also ok to walk to the city center) and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.
The flat is only 5 mins walk from Osterport Station so after the flight and train ride, it was lovely to receive a warm welcome from Marianne. Marianne is a bubbly lady, we felt at ease immediately. Marianne has an appreciation for art and the airy, spacious flat stimulates thought and relaxation. Everything we needed was provided for. As we wanted to sample Danish cuisine, breakfast was the only meal with ate at the flat so I can't comment on the use of the oven, etc. The city center is a pleasant 10-minute walk through the park. To sum up, great location, lovely host and worth a visit.
Very nice apartment close to station and walking distance from centre.
Very baby friendly. Marianne treated us like her family.
Marianne was a very friendly and wonderful host. Her apartment is exactly as shown on the pictures with lots of classic design pieces including some very nice lamps. We enjoyed the quietness of the flat and at the same time being close to the city center.
A really lovely, interesting apartment in the quiet Osterport part of Copenhagen. We had all the facilities we needed and Marianne was a discreet and charming hostess. Thoroughly recommended.
A very pleasure to stay at Marianne's house. Clean, comfortable, quiet and artistic. Exactly like my apartment, in a perfect Danish style. Thanks a lot Madame Marianne, you're very kind.
Marianne was the best host I ever had. We got her flat late at night and she was waiting for us to give us the keys and explain us how everything worked. Everything was pretty fine, you will have whatever you will need in her apartment. If you are thinking about having a pleasant holidays in Copenhagen, without any doubt, Marianne's flat is the best option. I would come back if I had the chance.
We had a great time in Copenhagen and Marianne's apartment was just perfect for us. Marianne was very friendly and helpful and made sure we felt welcome. The apartment was just as it looks and described in the webpage. It was very cosy and warm and had everything we needed with loads of fresh towels etc. It really is only five minutes walk from the S Line station and the IRMA supermarket next to the station is well stocked. Marianne's passion of collecting lamps is all around in the apartment, very eclectic and really interesting. The wifi works well which is a bonus. We have no hesitation in recommending this apartment.
Dear Marianne
Thx for your hostage in your beautiful appartement. It was a nice weekend with my sisters and brother. I felt "your home was our home". Encore thx ;-)
We really enjoyed our stay at Marianne's apartment. She made us so welcome and
Her kindness shone through. The apartment was great to come back to after a long day touring Copenhagen.The lighting and artwork in the apartment are fabulous. The location of the flat was great only about 4 or 5 minutes easy walk to Osterport station which had great connections to the airport, city centre and many other areas. There is a really nice Irma supermarket at the station if you need groceries.
Although only there 3 days we covered most of Central Copenhagen and thought the area around Marianne's flat was the most pleasant and nicer than Vesterbro, Norrebro,Christians have ect. We are glad we chose Marianne's flat it was ideal for us and she was the perfect host.

Sabina Ott and her art
UTSA presents painting, installation exhibit by Sabina Ott
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Jan. 19, 2006)--The UTSA Department of Art and Art History hosts the exhibit, "What's Not Here is Nowhere," by Sabina Ott from Jan. 19 to Feb. 26 in the Arts Building gallery on the UTSA 1604 Campus.
An opening reception, free and open to the public, is 6-8 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 19. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Galley hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday-Friday and 2-4 p.m., Sunday.

Ott's work in the UTSA exhibit consists of paintings and sculptures spawned from digital images of maps, photographs of landscapes, flowers and altered text from Gertrude Stein's "The Making of Americans."
"In 2000, I began using digital technology as the source of images in my paintings," said Ott. "I like the apparent democratization of technology -- its ubiquitous accessibility and its versatility. It makes me think of and search for new places and materials to put my images on and in. I like the idea of having a palette of images in virtual space that I can paint or paste or cut or stretch in real or virtual space."
Ott has created paintings since 1985 and sculptural installations since 1994. In her paintings, she mixes and matches techniques by incorporating technology into her work by painting on digitally imaged paintings or manipulated photographs. When she creates an installation, a painting serves as a point of departure and often is part of the work.
She has served in several academic positions including director of graduate programs at the San Francisco Art Institute, and director of graduate studies and associate professor at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., and is currently the chairperson of the Department of Art and Design at Columbia College in Chicago.
Ott's work has been exhibited at numerous galleries including the POST Gallery and Mark Moore Gallery in Santa Monica, Calif., Marsha Mateyka Gallery in Washington, D.C., Center for Contemporary Art in Cleveland, Ohio, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, Calif. and the San Francisco Museum of Art, San Francisco, Calif.

I guess I am cut from a different cloth because if I had a chance to stop a shooter, whether I was personally threatened or not, I would do it. I could not live with myself if I did nothing and let others die.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
I almost killed a guy with a can of cat food one time..
3 a.m. old lady bitching the cats are hungry.. WTF do I care if the cats are hungry.. Up too the local all night Quick Mart..
Guy behind the counter puts his hands up. Guy at the counter staring at him.
No gun with me. Uh oh this is not good.
So I go Ninja, grab a can of Friskies, think it was.. Start sneaking up on the perp. Seconds from smashing the back of his noodle in with the cat food, too meet his 70 virgins.
Suddenly guy behind the counter says..
"Four blocks up, take a left."
Poor customer was just asking directions and the clerk was waving his arms pointing..
Man that was close..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
You don't have to be especially religious to appreciate the common sense of Renegadebuck's biblical quote. If you know it is the right thing to do, do it!
I would like to think that I would have the courage to try to protect someone else's family as much as I hope that someone would look after mine in my absence.
Getting involve in other peoples problems can give unexpected results these days but I don't think that should stop you. My wife and I were sitting in a booth at a restaurant and the fellow behind me started slapping his wife/girlfriend across the table. I didn't think about it, I just got up and popped him with a couple good fists while he was sitting in his seat at his booth. All he said was, " The bitch started it! " . The woman , on the other hand, was furious that I hit the gent. She was screaming that I was bigger than him and that I didn't give him a chance. They were the ones that called the police. The cops said that although it was commendable of me, it was also stupid because the guy had a gun on him.
The guy was hauled off. I'll bet the woman had a long night when he was released.
I don't think I would do much different next time.
Interesting scenario, As we all know the use of deadly force should always be used as a last resort. there are several things to consider, is the nut waving around a firearm? dose he have it pointed at the ground. There are things to be considered before you act first of all have your weapon ready in case you have to act quickly! call the police if you have the time to do so. Now if this nut job raises his gun to fire! get his attention quickly if possible and make sure you have the gunman in your sites and only he will be hit during gunfire exchange. Im not sating that all laws are correct in fact we have a long way to go. But here is a few things to remember in an Officer Involved Shooting right off the bat your looking at a minimum of of 100,000 or more for legal counsel. the police have legal reps that cover thier ass and even that dont work, You can avoid Criminal Charges and have what is called a clean shoot, But there is still the matter of a civil action if the family chooses to bring one. I have been involved personally where a suspicious person had fled away when I was attempting to stop him for various reasons, the suspect fled, Only to come back out of a residence with his hands under his hoody, as if He was reaching for a gun! I informed the suspect to freeze where he was, and he told me I was going to die! beacuse and I quote" You dont know who your F****ng with I'm a gangster!. At this I pulled my service weapon and he was now at gun point! I againg told him to pull his hands out slowly and there better not be anything in his hands but air! or eklse I would have no option to shoot. The suspect in this case kept advanceing towards me moving his hands under his hoodie I gave him one final command to stop and show me his hands, The suspect turned and fled the scene, The suspects sister was on my back running her mouth and you can guess what she was saying lol.
Needless to say several people went to jail that night for thier actions including the suspects sister for damaging police property ( City Police Car cracked the window!) the crowd that assembled was quick and by this time myself and another officer was very out numbered aprox 40 to three officers. until the calvery arrived that was one of the longest encounters I have ever had. Needless to say I filed my charges with the city attorney. and come to find out this dirtbag had a long list of pryors including Aggrivated Armed Robbery & and Assualt with a deadly weapon. I am happy to report that this darwin winner was apprehanded in less than 30 mins. and back to prison he went. And let me tell you this is a ton of paperwork for this type of situation. The main thing is you have one major responsibility, To go home at the end of the day unharmed, I dont suggest getting yourself shot Im telling you from experence it hurt like Hell!! ( keeping it clean!!!!) But in short you do have the right to defend others with the use of deadly force just make sure it is justifyable or you will be the one in cuffs. And here is another thing to remember, Shooting an Indivudal is always a last resort and theier are many factors to consider before pulling that trigger. Because once its done its done!! and one other thing to remember if you do shoot someone you must provide and get medical attention for the suspect you just shot. I have seen a couple of cases whre a armed Security Officer Stopped a Armed Robbery in progress the perp was killed with one shot to the head, The office Lost the Civil suit, beacuse of his training record with firarms, and due to only one shot beibng fired, the Hoodrat attorney was able to convince a jury that the Security Officere ment to kill the suspect due to the fact only one shot was fired to the suspects head( always fire more than one shot!) who was DOA at the crime scene. If there are any doubts in a situation like this, try to get others out of harms way and get the boys in blue ASAP! and do what you can to keep the situation from escalationg. And just so you know many people take CCW courses that are manditory by state law before you can be licensed to carry, These Instructors many of them are Law enforcement officers, and they do pay attention to what you may say when you are off in your little grouos at class. and guess what you may be very surprised at what at instructor may say when he or she is called to testify at a eveidence hearing, on your actions at the course, if you are trying to be a cowboy, or the Dirty Harry type. Remembner you onlu have a short time to think & react dont make the wrong desicion or it could cost you everything you have worked for, or will ever have.Sceanieros are practiced everyday by LEO Agencies, and Even they can get it wrong! in all the confusionteh best advise I can give is the choice to use deadly force is a big one, and if you are going to have to second guess your decision to escalate to deadly force, it may be better just to observe and report your findings and observations to the police this way you can avoid a costly legal troubles. And just one thing more if you happen to work for a security agency, find our what thier policy is for legal coverage for officer involved shootings, If they say that we dont have an attorney or anything like that ,time to fine a new employer!!!!,,Doc
No, 4th needs to roll a joint. Just sayin'.
If I'm pretty sure the guy is going to start shooting, then I am definitely going to step in, even if I'm not a CCW holder. Sorry, I'm wired to help people if I can. As already stated before, I would hope that someone in the same situation would do the right thing to save my family/friends, so from a karmic point of view, I would be inclined to help. I can understand the frustration that led to TRX's statement though.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller

CEH Study Material
I am thinking about renewing it and was wondering if anyone has recommendations on a self study book, particularly one for someone who has passed the test in the past.
I know the price has gone up, which is bogus, and I really didn't think the course/exam was very in depth when I took it, but the certification still seems to have some clout in the community, so I figured it would be a good one to renew and I should be able to pass it fairly easily.
Let me know if you have any suggestions!


text: I picked up a mens JC Higgins Colorflow a few days ago for a hundred bucks and am in need of a part. If anyone has it me please shoot me an email or a message. I will pay whatever you are asking for it and actual shipping costs. Or I can make a trade if there is something that you are looking for. Underneath the crown nut there is an odd little 2-piece clamp that secures the top of the beehive springer to the top of the fork. That is the part I'm looking for. It resembles a little fist. I've included a bunch of photos. My bike is the red one. There is one picture that I've included thats currently on the homepage of Ratrodbikes. If you have any clue where I could find this, or, you have any ideas on how I could fabricate something that would work, please give me some ideas. Thanks everybody! Ray

Broomfield, CO – April 15, 2013
Webroot, a leader in delivering security as a service, today announced the appointment of Dekkers Intermediair BV, a specialist distributor based in the Netherlands, as its principal distributor for the Benelux region. Dekkers, also the distributor for LabTech, is complimenting its product portfolio with Webroot SecureAnywhere® security intelligence solutions to help its managed service provider (MSP) partners and their customers benefit from improved malware protection, system performance and overall productivity. Webroot's new channel partnership with Dekkers expands its existing partner network and further builds upon one of the most innovative distribution models in Europe.
As part of the new agreement, Dekkers will become a fully enabled distribution partner, with access to the full range of Webroot solutions. Primary focus will be on cloud-based Webroot SecureAnywhere Business – Endpoint Protection, which provides advanced real-time protection against both known and unknown malware. Webroot SecureAnywhere solutions enable partners to drastically reduce support overheads by removing the need to reimage machines associated with virus infection.
"Webroot provides us with a highly effective way to ensure our MSP partners and their customers are able to secure users against existing and emerging threats, by providing the most broad, up-to-date and accurate endpoint protection," said Willem Jan Dekkers, CEO at Dekkers Intermediair. "Dekkers is committed to supplying innovative and cutting edge solutions which enable easy, streamlined management and security, while also incorporating the latest lightweight anti-malware technology that truly benefits from the power of the cloud."
A new Web security study commissioned by Webroot found that Web-borne attacks are impacting businesses, with the majority of them reporting significant effects in the form of high rates of malware threats, including phishing attacks, spyware, keyloggers and hacked passwords. Unlike traditional security solutions, Webroot SecureAnywhere installs in seconds, scans in less than two minutes, and never requires security updates or signature database downloads which consume network bandwidth and leave users exposed. Webroot's unique client and cloud architecture allows customers to quickly gather critical collective endpoint data and provide real-time intelligence to protect against ever-evolving threats.

It is like Brigadoon for the town that lies below the House on the top of (Mona Lisa) Hill. And Helen wants to know what's up? No angst, no commentary, and no nothing..
Entertain our neighbor, Helen, with a somewhat upside down view. It is not what is on the top of the Hills that was once an exciting source of controversy and issues.
Entertain us, neighbors,
**all done, Helen**
