Durango Building, UTSA Downtown Campus
UTSA adds seven grad certificate programs
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Director of Public Affairs
For those contemplating graduate school but not sure about the financial and time commitment required for a traditional 36-hour master's degree, UTSA will offer seven new graduate certificate programs this fall. The programs are for graduate students who want to pursue a stand-alone, concentrated, 12-15 hour curriculum aimed at mastering a discipline.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

"Graduate certificate programs are a great way for busy working professionals to get their feet wet and try out graduate school," said Lisa Palacios , director of recruitment and retention. "Most of the classes are held on evenings and weekends, and these programs are designed to provide graduate-level education within a shorter period of time."
As UTSA matures into a premier public research university, recruiters see graduate students requesting more fields of concentrated study to earn graduate certificates in many disciplines. In response to the requests, graduate certificate programs will be added this fall in urban and regional planning, historic preservation, keyboard pedagogy, keyboard performance, higher education administration, security studies and Spanish translation studies. They will be offered along with the two existing programs -- graduate certification in creative writing and the certificate of professional development in geographic information science.
To pursue a graduate certificate, all students must be accepted into the UTSA Graduate School. Courses taken for the graduate certificate can be applied toward a master's degree.
For Fall 2008, the application deadline was extended to Aug. 15 for admission into the graduate certificate program in higher education administration. The application deadline is Nov. 1 for Spring 2009 admission.
For more information, visit UTSA Graduate School or call (210) 458-4330.

all this Osi to Baltimore talk is confusing as a Giants fan....
I hope to the football gods that the Giants are not entertaining this pathetic offer.
3rd rounder? Why not make a trade on Draft day if the Giants wanted something?
Osi for a year is far better than 120th+ pick NEXT year....

[/quote]Its all talk. We only have 3 DEs at the moment.
Not really. I think they are planning to use put Kiwi back at DE this season. The Rivers trade would suggest that. We are actually loaded at LB right now without Kiwi.

I guess thats true, but even so, the advantages of having Osi for another year far outweighs the mystery of a 3rd rounder in the following year....

Putting the Osi crap aside, the football reality is this.

When Osi takes the field on passing downs, he moves JPP out of position to left DE, where he's far less effective. I'd much rather see JPP stay at right DE and use Kiwi in the rotation. We will need another back up DE for the rotation but I don't think Osi has the impact you think. At least not from here on out.

I say deal Osi for the best pick we can get and free up $5MM in cap room. That gives us more flexibility to sign guys to be role players. (which is exactly what we need).
[/quote]If Reese wanted to trade away Osi, it would of been best to do it during the draft. I have to agree with pizz, waiting a whole year to use a 2 or 3 rd draft pick doesnt make much sense. Hes worth much more than that. But then again, will Osi ball out for a new contract? or pout about he didnt get a new contract and give half assed efforts.

Very nice looking I am in process of making one myself and I really like the bee brush holder idea, hope you don't mind if i "borrow" it.
Insect farming is soooo interesting :)
Lol I don't mind it was not my idea. I have one of these I bought years ago from a Amish man in Ohio and mine has the brush holder on it.

Royal Oak Township, Highland Park in financial emergencies, Treasury finds
Two more Michigan communities are in financial emergencies, the state Department of Treasury announced Friday afternoon.
The financial review teams' findings for Royal Oak Township and Highland Park trigger a 10-day window in which Gov. Rick Snyder must determine whether he agrees or disagrees with the review teams' opinions.
If Snyder confirms the communities are in financial emergencies, the township board and city council must select whether to proceed with a consent agreement, an emergency manager, a neutral evaluation or Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy, under the provisions of Public Act 436 of 2012, the state's emergency manager law.
In addition, in the last three fiscal years, the township's audited budgets show variances between revenue and expenditures, as budgeted and amended, than what were actually realized, according to the news release.
The township has also not adopted a Fiscal Year 2014 budget, as required by law, and has not been able to consistently meet contractual obligations for public safety services provided by the city of Ferndale (fire services) and the Oakland County Sheriff's Department (police services), according to the release.
In Highland Park, the city's water and sewer fund's negative fund balance ballooned from $5.5 million at the end of the 2012 fiscal year to $12.5 million at the end of the 2013 fiscal year, according to the Treasury Department release. The fund lost $7.7 million during FY 2013, but the city transferred $770,000 from its general fund to partially plug the hole. Timely and accurate water and sewer bills have not been issued to city residents.
The city also had $4 million in unbudgeted expenditures in the 2012 fiscal year, and as of Oct. 31, the city owed about $19.5 million to various venders, including $18.2 million to the city of Detroit for water and sewer services, according to the release.
It also owed $311,000 to DTE Energy Co.; $270,000 to Wayne County for property assessing and prisoner maintenance; $106,000 to the city of Hamtramck for city income tax collection and administration; and $101,000 to the state of Michigan in principal and interest on emergency loans, the release said.
The five-member review teams were appointed Dec. 2 and held meetings with Royal Oak Township and Highland Park officials and residents since then.

Playboy.com's Guide to Lollapalooza
We don't know how they did it, but Lollapalooza secured the best line-up anyone could ask for.
We don't know how they did it, but Lollapalooza secured the best lineup anyone could ask for. They've got all the biggest names in music, a ton of bands doing a round of reunion shows and a slew of names that will be the big acts of tomorrow. If you can catch any festival this year, make it Lollapalooza.
Jack White
We don't really need to sell you on why you should catch Jack White's act, so we'll just take this time to watch the sexed-up music video for "Freedom at 21." Expect guitar solos, minimal crowd interaction and the sense of just witnessing something historic after his set has ended.
Hey Rosetta!
Want to hold your summer fling in your arms one more time before the magic of the summer comes to an end? Head on down to Hey Rosetta's set to experience the best soundtrack to reflect on all those amazing nights you spent together. Then promptly break up and head to Nadastrom's DJ booth to drown your sorrows in the navel of whomever you're taking body shots off.
Die Antwoord
There's something about this peculiar South African rap group that we just love. Lots of people aren't aware that the lead singer, Ninja, is in reality a performance artist and satirist, so maybe that's why we just can't stop staring at him and everyone he attracts. Get ready to be simultaneously creeped out and aroused by pixie girl Yo-Landi and have dance moves come out of your body you didn't even know you knew.
Bloc Party
Bloc Party is back! They have a new album coming out, and despite the fact that they didn't just reissue the cover of their album Intimacy, we're still excited for it. Slip on your Chuck Taylors, down that domestic beer and head on over to one of the happiest sets of the fest.
Frank Ocean
We have a feeling that everyone at Lollapalooza is going to attempt to see Frank Ocean's set so we'll look the other way if you want to fanboy and stand your ground for the entire day to secure a good spot. We would too if we weren't so busy doing other cool things like picking up ladies and hanging out in Chow Town.
Goose Island Brewpub: These guys are apparently serving fried chicken sandwiches with bacon jam. We can't imagine what it looks like, but we're sure it will taste good.
Kuma's Corner: They make delicious burgers and donate thousands of dollars to local charities and people in need. What's not to love about Kuma's Corner?
Grahamwich: Grabbing a sandwich here is like eating a slice of history. Graham Elliot has been serving at Lolla for years now and was even the Culinary Director for the entire festival at one point.
Toyota Free Yr Radio: Feel like supporting local indie station WLUW while making your own leather bracelet or headband? Head on down to Toyota Free Yr Radio to check out performances and interviews by Lollapalooza artists to show your support.
Ray-Ban Presents Gallery of Legends: While you're at the festival, why not check out some photos of festivals past? And since we live in a culture that needs to prove our life is the best, be sure to tag your sepia-toned Instagram photos with #RayBanPrint to be added to their interactive Mosaic installation.
Fender Fan Oasis: All of these musicians who are living their dreams of becoming a rock star got you down? Alleviate your pessimism by rocking out on one of Fender's iconic guitars. Who knows; maybe Perry Farrell will hear you and set you up with your own set at the fest. That will 100% not happen, but wouldn't it be cool?

|Check-in before
We had a fantastic time during the 5 days we spent at Michael's flat. The apartment is perfectly situated in a very nice and calm neighbourhood, excatly what we needed to relax after a whole day of sightseeing and walking. (WiFi, Smart TV etc. everything available) Super markets and the tube station are within 5 min. walking distance, Camden is just two tube stations away, Westminster about 15-20. Michael is a super friendly and helpful host! Any time again! (Jörg from Germany)
We just spent 7 days staying in this value for money apartment. It's in a nice neighbourhood but near enough to all this city has to offer. It was perfect for us a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The apartment was fabulous, new bathroom, powerful shower, lovely bedrooms with good beds. Kitchen has all the equipment and everything you need. The area has a great mix of local shops and close proximity to the tube. Michael was available for information or advice we needed and we had the best sight seeing holiday we could have wished for!
The apartment is at a very nice, residential location - it is quiet and easy to reach the tube station (5-7 minutes) from there. You can find a cheap Tesco supermarket in the nearby. Our host was very helpful and reliable. The apartment is comfortable for 3-4 persons. The kitchen is small but enough for small meals. I think we got good value for its price. We would definitely come again if we visit London.
everything you would need is there in the apartment, (hair dryer, plug adapters, microwave, coffee machine, TV, Wifi, fridge, cooker, hard disks full of films if the weather is poor or for evenings if you don't want to go out), which is a plus. The location is excellent, pub around the corner (The Washington), tesco for food, etc. and a good selection of restaurants/takeaways, Belsize Park tube station is 5 minutes walk away. The bathroom was clean (new toilet brush wouldn't have been a bad thing though when they are 2 a penny).
Whats the down side? Well at £170, give or take, per night you would expect the place to be pretty spotless, carpets cleaned, curtains not full of dust, bedsheets without any stains (they were washed, but still). Sadly, this was not the case and this really let the place down if im being honest. These are only small details, but they really count in my honest opinion. The windows are a pain to open and close. OK, this is something that would cost the owner a lot of money to fix....but then its pretty expensive to stay there, and fair enough Belsize Park is an expensive area to live, but again, small things count, like the kitchen table top wasn't fixed and we nearly lost a bottle of wine because of this, more annoying than a deal breaker.
I reckon if the place was better cleaned i would think about staying there again.
However, I can say, that despite the rather shabby feel of the apartment (im english, i know you have to allow for London sometimes, but still..) the owner, Michael, is very welcoming and friendly. I didn't have to ask him about anything because im fairly familiar with London, but I got the impression he would always be willing to help out and answer any questions.
So to sum up, a good location with everything you need in the apartment, but the cleanliness let it down.
We had a wonderful time in a really cosy flat in London. Michael is a very nice and helpful host and the flat was clean, comfortable and offered everything we needed! We will surely come back again!
Thx Michael for a perfect stay! The appartmen is very nice, quite, clean and very good. To the next Underground is a 5min walk also to the next pub if you want a beer in the evening. Michael is very friendly and he will help you if you have any questions! We come definite back!!!
MIchael is an amazing host, and we loved our stay in the loft. Belsize is a great area, close to supermarkets and the underground. It couldn't have been more perfect!
Nice and quiet place. Close to bus and underground. Nice area with cafes and some restaurants.
No luxury, but quite ok.
We were here in the beginning of June with my wife and my parents. We were looking for a place to life, affordable and not so far away from the centre with good connection by public transport. So we found Michael and his flat. We were very satisfied and can recommend it.
+ location
+ really nice residential district
+ nice pub and small supermarkets nearby
+ 2 underground lines very close (6 and 8 minutes by feet)
+ quiet at night
+ flat is well equipped with household appliances (you can find all you need)
+ free and quick wifi
+ Michael was very polite and helpful
- it is not easy to close the windows
- furniture is not the newest
- floor and bed creak
- curtains and seat cushions have to be cleaned
- 住宿品质保证
- 屋主通过电话验证

Guys I am one of the biggest Eli fans on this board, I was talking about the TYPE of throw, we've been seen it from Eli and Peyton and when they throw that type of pass it's them at their absoulute worst.. Eli is prone to making this type of mistake now and then in less critical times then his brother is. Feel bad for Peyton... he could of got his second sb win, he won't be the best qb in history of the NFL now.
I posted on other forums on how the Broncos will win so much, and gave a checklist of the only reasons Broncos would lose.. well checklist is filled. Any team could of waltzed in their and beat the Broncos with the way the D played and how Fox coached and how the Refs reffed.. childish.
Peyton is the best regular season quarterback. Post season? Well...
Mood: WOOF!
Its a shame Manningham tore his ACL, I would've liked to watch him on the big stage again
Go Niners! Even though I hate them..can't stand Rodgers.

Five teams could have interest in Swisher
Five teams have interest, or potential interest, in free-agent Nick Swisher, according to major-league sources.
Those teams are the Cleveland Indians, Seattle Mariners, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants
The Red Sox would have to move center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury before making a deal for Swisher. The Giants could pursue Swisher if they decide to spend on the left fielder after committing combined a $78 million to retain pitcher Jeremy Affeldt, outfielder Angel Pagan and second baseman Marco Scutaro. However, the Giants more likely to go with Gregor Blanco and a platoon partner in left.
Swisher is a switch-hitter who can play first base or outfield; his versatility adds to his appeal.
The Indians made a $44 million, four-year offer to Shane Victorino, before the OF made a deal Tuesday with the Red Sox.
— Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi

The flowers of the blue Salvia are much too deep for any bee to reach the nectar from the front like a humming bird or butterfly might. However, the bumble bees solve this problem by piercing a hole in the bottom of the flower to reach nectar.
This morning I saw one honey bee moving from flower to flower, and wondered what it was doing since I believed it was physically impossible for her to get anything from these flowers. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that she was taking nectar through the pierced holes that the bumble bees leave behind!
I was so proud of my innovative little girl, but do realize that the summer dearth is about here and they've got to be creative with diverse nectar sources until fall.

Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant has ordered Canterbury to investigate allegations that a female television journalist was subjected to verbal abuse from players at the club's mad Monday celebrations.
The unidentified players were recorded shouting from a room inside Belmore Oval as the team assembled for the post-season celebrations 24 hours after their grand final loss to Melbourne.
A cameraman was allegedly also told to f*** off by a member of the Bulldogs' back-room staff as he tried to film players arriving in fancy dress on Monday.
Grant said he was taking the issue seriously and ordered a full investigation by the club to ascertain what happened.
"I've not seen the report, but based on what I've heard there's no doubt that this is potentially a serious issue," Grant said. He stopped short of calling for the players to be sacked by the club but said he was eager to find out the full story from Bulldogs chief executive Todd Greenberg.
"I think we have to wait until we find out all the facts from the club and we'll then work with them and their recommendations," Grant said.
"But based on my understanding of what's going on, it's serious."
The incident is another blot on a wretched week for the club, which faces losing prop James Graham for a lengthy ban after he allegedly bit the ear of Storm fullback Billy Slater.
The England international was referred straight to the NRL judiciary on Monday and will face the three-man panel tomorrow.
The club could also face a fine from the NRL for refusing to allow media access to their sheds after Sunday's game.

Sport Specific: Rowing - Week 10, Day 1
This is a twelve week sport specific program designed for rowing. The goal of this program is to increase the athlete's strength and power. It also includes elements of injury prevention. These qualities are pivotal for rowing. They allow for more force to be placed into the footplate. With correct technique this transfers into the oar, thus making the boat travel faster.
The program has been split into three, four-week training blocks. During weeks 1-4, the workouts consist of a hip, glute, and upper body conditioning circuit and a core conditioning circuit. These circuits increase dynamic flexibility, improve squatting mechanics, and also strengthen the athlete for weeks 5-12. The circuits will also become the dynamic warm up and core work for the sessions in weeks 5-12.
Percentages of one-rep max (1RM) are used in the program. It is important to know these before beginning and to retest them every four weeks to make sure you're training at the correct intensity. The percentages and the predicated lifting weight are only a guideline. All lifts should be performed without a breakdown in form, so if this occurs, reduce the weight slightly.
I suggest you perform the sessions in this program after any sports specific training, i.e. ergometer workouts or technique work on the water. This is done in order to keep the strength pathways open, which will allow for maximum adaption to occur.
Week 10, Day 1
Squat Jump: 5x5 80% of 1RM
Sumo Deadlift: 5x5 80% of 1RM
Dumbbell Pullover: 5x5

I walked into Bob's room and he was anal fisting his girlfriend
by Frederikson c304 January 30, 2006
Not only the name of a seriously kinky sexual act, anal fisting is also a gamed to be played in extremely public areas. Taken from the idea of 'bogeys' and originating from Ryton rugby club the object of the game is to shout anal fisting as loud as possible in the most public place trying to get as much attention of possible. The way to win the game is to out shout your opponent so that they give up as they feel it is getting to embarrassing.
KC: I was in the metro with AC and he beat me at a game of anal fisting am telling you everybody looked it was so embarrassing.

Hello All,
For whatever reason I have a deep hive body that has somehow warped slightly out of shape. I used this box last year and had no problems (I run two deep brood boxes). A couple of weeks ago I split a colony and the half with the established queen is doing excellent and has filled her box nicely. I NOW need to add her second box but one corner is at least a quarter inch off so the top box rocks back and forth, not to mention it is far more than the bees can fill. Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do??? I don't feel I can move all the established frames and queen into a new box (too much disturbance for a relatively recent split) and I don't know how one would shim up something for a good fit. I'd appreciate any advice or help as I MUST get the top box on to make some room for the massive brood being produced!!!! Thanks ahead!

You could need a list of "Hours" for any number of reasons, for a select box, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. In the following example, I create a list of "Hours" to run along the top of a table. What strikes me interesting about this code is that although it was written in 2001, its very adaptable to generating hour lists today.
Function BuildHourList()
Dim i, iOffSet
For i = 8 to 20
' ---- if past 12 noon,
If i > 12 Then iOffSet = -12
Response.Write "" & iOffset + i & ":00"
End Function
Without boring you with details, I wrote an application back in 2003 for a medical billing company. Their team was extremely small, so when I left the project, I made sure they had some very clear documentation. The function headers were my favorites. Here's an example.
Well written comments that are clear and easy to read is very important to code maintenance and reducing technical debt incurred as old applications lose their orriginal developers.
And another old code segment, this time formatting "Hours" and "Minutes". The trick for the minutes is to return one of the quarter hours. If the minutes evaluate to "0", then "00" will return instead.
When it comes to string handling, ASP isn't the most efficient. The easiest code to write is simply instr(1,ucase(search),ucase(find)), and then check the result for > 0. The problem comes with extremely long strings. I needed to search a very long string of values from each line of CSV. It was actually much faster to split each line into its individual elements and search one cell at a time. Here is the code.
When parsing a string of HTML to enterrogate for data, sometimes the HTML attributes would create unneeded headaches. I wrote this function to take a string of HTML and remove all tag attributes.
This little function was a nifty way to remove unneeded HTML tags from a string. Used this to clean up "screenscrapes" of reports generated in HTML before parsing the content.
At some point, I was parsing HTML text and needed to convert a table to an Array. The code basically strips any attributes, then cycles through all of the cells and returns an array. I used this code when converting reports from another system (that emitted HTML) to be used in data aggregation functions.

This roundup summarizes some notable recent items about scientific research, selected from news reports compiled in Sigma Xi's free electronic newsletters Science in the News Daily and Science in the News Weekly. Online: http://sitn.sigmaxi.org and http://www.americanscientist.org/sitnweekly
Animals sans Oxygen
The salty depths of the Mediterranean Sea are home to the first known anaerobic animals. Measuring just a hundredth of an inch long, three new members of the phylum Loricifera spend their lives in oxygen-starved sea sediments. To convince themselves that these surprising creatures were really alive, biologists confirmed that in the lab, the loriciferans absorbed dyes and incorporated radiolabeled amino acids into their cone-shaped bodies. Electron microscopy revealed that the new species lacked mitochondria, but were replete with hydrogenosomes—metabolic organelles previously known only from anaerobic single-celled organisms.
Danovaro, R., et al. The first metazoa living in permanently anoxic conditions. BMC Biology 8:30 (April 6)
Kudzu Smog
Add air pollution to the list of kudzu's evildoings. The invasive vine (Pueraria montana) has taken over millions of acres in the eastern and southern United States. Symbiotic bacteria in the plant's roots incorporate atmospheric nitrogen into the soil, where other microbes metabolize it to nitric oxide—an ozone precursor. Researchers found that, in the summer, soil in three kudzu-infested plots released twice as much nitric oxide as three kudzu-free plots. Based on atmospheric models and a worst-case kudzu invasion, the authors figure that the vine could boost ozone levels above air-quality limits for seven extra days per summer.
Hickman, J. E., et al. Kudzu (Pueraria montana) invasion doubles emissions of nitric oxide and increases ozone pollution. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (published online May 17)
Ball Lightning Solved?
Despite thousands of eyewitness reports, the nature—and even the existence—of ball lightning remains uncertain. Now a pair of physicists claims that the orbs of light might be storm-induced hallucinations. A clinical technique known as transcranial magnetic stimulation focuses a magnetic field on parts of peoples' brains and can cause them to perceive glowing bubbles of light. Calculations reveal that a lightning strike pulsing back and forth between cloud and ground could generate a comparable field, causing hallucinations of ball lightning among observers up to a tenth of a mile away. The authors speculate that such illusions could account for up to half of ball-lightning sightings.

Fountains in Palenque
Ancient Mayans enjoyed pressurized water in the city of Palenque a good millennium before the Spanish arrived. The city's residents regularly routed streams through underground channels to make space for buildings. Archaeologists recently noticed that one of these aqueducts suddenly narrowed before emerging from the ground. Forcing the water through a small space would have pressurized it, and could have powered a fountain up to 15 feet high. Archaeologists aren't sure how the Mayans used the pressurized water, but it may have washed away waste or filled water vessels. The find is the only known example of engineered water pressure in the pre-Hispanic Americas.

Queasy Quolls
A dinner of invasive cane toad (Bufo marinus) doesn't taste bad to Australia's native predators, but it's deadly. The toxic amphibians have driven the northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus), a cat-sized carnivore, to the verge of extinction. Even after surviving an unpleasant toad encounter, most quolls are willing to try it again. Determined to help, conservation biologists educated 31 of the predators by feeding them small non-lethal cane toads spiked with a nauseating chemical. Indeed, captive quolls that suffered upset stomach were four times less likely than naive quolls to attack another toad. They also survived longer when released into toad-infested habitats.

Who's the Better Mushroom Hunter?
Men may take pride in their spatial aptitude, but women have unique navigation skills of their own. Evolution probably honed men's route finding during the Pleistocene, when hunters followed their quarry into unknown terrain. Women would have gathered immobile plant foods—a role that might favor different navigational tactics. To test this idea, biologists outfitted themselves with GPS devices and heart-rate monitors and followed 21 men and 21 women mushroom hunting in central Mexico. Men chose longer and more strenuous routes, but in the end, they collected no more fungi. Women indeed may be optimized to efficiently gather food that doesn't run away.

A Speedy Cold Current
An ocean current that shuttles near-freezing water from Antarctica toward Australia is now the fastest deepocean current on record. It flows at eight times the rate of all Earth's rivers combined. Researchers knew that a frigid stream moved through that part of the ocean, but there were no reliable measurements of how much water it carried. Using remotely operated submarines, researchers moored more than 50 current and temperature sensors across 100 miles of seafloor. The data reveal a remarkably intense and consistent current, moving at a half-mile per hour along a path only 30 miles wide. The newly measured flow will be an important element in future climate models.

Pickle recipes.
Hi Guys,
I am after some recipes for pickled beans, something spicy perhaps to go as a side and in salads.
My beanstalks are producing rapidly and I'd like some preserving options.
All suggestions welcome.

Re: Pickle recipes.
I did this one last year when I had a glut
Spicy Pickled Green Beans
1 pound very fresh green beans (nice and crisp), ends trimmed
2 cups rice vinegar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
2 Tablespoons salt
6 small red chillies
1 teaspoon peppercorns
1 lemon, sliced (seeds removed)
1. Bring a medium pot of water to boil and blanch green beans until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and put in a large heatproof bowl.
2. Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to boil in another medium pot with vinegar, sugar, salt, chillies, peppercorns, As soon as the liquid boils, pour over beans and add the lemon slices. Slit 3 of the chillies to let seeds spill into liquid then add sliced to the beans. Jar

Interesting. I've never thought of pickling beans. I'm thinking of growing some this year, so will file this idea as one to come back to.

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...#ixzz1rFY7lK9tThey say silence is golden but theres a room in the U.S thats so quiet it becomes unbearable after a short time.
The longest that anyone has survived in the anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories in South Minneapolis is just 45 minutes.
Its 99.99 per cent sound absorbent and holds the Guinness World Record for the worlds quietest place, but stay there too long and you may start hallucinating.
Earth's quietest place: The 'anechoic chamber' at Orfield Laboratories, which is 99.99 per cent sound absorbent and capable of giving you hallucinations
The Anechoic Test Chamber at Orfield Laboratories was deemed the quietest place on Earth in 2004 - a record it still holds to this day
It achieves its ultra-quietness by virtue of 3.3-foot-thick fiberglass acoustic wedges, double walls of insulated steel and foot-thick concrete.
The companys founder and president, Steven Orfield, told MailOnline: We challenge people to sit in the chamber in the dark - one reporter stayed in there for 45 minutes.
When its quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You'll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly.
In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.
And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that its so disconcerting that sitting down is a must.
He said: How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don't have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you're in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.
The chamber is used by a multitude of manufacturers, which test how loud their products are.
Mr Orfield said: It's used for formal product testing, for research into the sound of different things - heart valves, the sound of the display of a cellphone, the sound of a switch on a car dashboard.
Silence is not so golden: The longest anyone has lasted sitting alone in the dark in the chamber is 45 minutes
Its also put to use to determine sound quality.
Mr Orfield and his team will help companies such as washing-machine maker Whirlpool develop metaphors for what sound should, well, sound like.
Motorbike maker Harley-Davidson used the lab, for instance, to make their bikes quieter, while still sounding like Harley-Davidsons.
We record products and people listen to them based on semantic terms, like expensive, low quality, said Mr Orfield. We measure their feelings and associations.
Nasa, meanwhile, uses a similar chamber to test its astronauts.
They are put in a water-filled tank inside the room to see how long it takes before hallucinations take place and whether they could work through it.
As Mr Orfield explains, space is like one giant anechoic chamber, so its crucial that astronauts are able to stay focussed.
Mr Orfield admits that he can last a very respectable 30 minutes in his chamber, despite having an off-putting mechanical heart valve that suddenly becomes very loud indeed once he's inside.
I'm pretty sure that the CIA use em.


text: As in my profile, I have a 1990 C1500 2wd V8 5.7L and now only 60K miles on it!!! I have been looking at upgrading my wheels from the factory steel wheels to some factory aluminum alloys. This truck comes with 5 lug 5" rims. The 15" Al alloy wheels must be rare for this lug spacing cause the cheapest I can find them are $190 per rim. However, I can find alloy wheels from newer models all day long for around $100 or less. How much trouble is it to change from the 5 lug pattern to the 6 lug pattern? how reliable are adapters? I hear stories of them breaking while driving. And all the hubs I find with the 6 bolt pattern say they are not compatible with this truck. Hmmm! I know plenty of people here have put bigger rims on there K1500 but I do not find anyone putting bigger rims on their C1500s. I am only looking to go with 16" factory wheels. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks and Merry Christmas

The National Stationery Show 2013 (PART THREE)Posted June 18 2013
Hi everyone! I'm back with the third installment of this NSS re-cap series. It's been fun putting our experience into words and photos and hearing back from those of you who have been following along. Today we'll go over what can be a scary aspect of exhibiting, the budget! Don't let the numbers intimidate you too much though. Keep in mind that this show is an investment and may be some of the best marketing dollars you'll spend. Hopefully you'll leave with much more than simply marketing, but as mentioned in parts ONE and TWO you can't come in expecting to make it all back in one show. If you do, then awesome!
In lieu of writing out another word-heavy post like part TWO I decided to put the data into a little infographic complete with pie chart (I've always wanted to make one and have never needed to) alongside the overall budget percentages and what those represent. I've heard that first time exhibitors spend anywhere from $7k- $12k their first year. I've gathered this from webinars from the TradeShow Camp along with talking to other exhibitors. Well, how much did you guys spend you ask? Let's just say we fell somewhere in the middle, toward the lower end.
Some other things to keep in mind as you process the info below:
1. We travelled to the show from California, so we had to account for flights for two people and accommodations. We crashed with a friend for a few nights during setup, but then stayed in a hotel for the actual show, hence the hotel for 4 nights. If you're driving in or staying with friends or family the entire time, your percentages may be vastly different from ours when it comes to travel and lodging.
2. This chart does NOT take into consideration the costs to produce your products and samples for the show. That can be a huge chunk, especially due to minimums if you outsource, so keep that all in mind when it comes to your total spending.
3. We "rented" foam walls from a third party company and had them installed. In terms of dollar signs, this falls squarely in the middle with two dollar signs, $$. You'll pay much more to rent their hardwood walls, $$$. If you are able to arrange for your own foam walls or use lightweight coverings you're looking at spending less, $. Keep in mind you'll have to install your wall coverings or boards if you don't elect to use a third party and there are those crazy union labor rules. Another option is to build your own walls, which is an initial investment that can be re-used in the long run, but you'll have to ship them (or drive them in) so you should expect to see your shipping percentage increase quite a bit. The only items we shipped were our floor tiles (heavy box), our shelves (long box), and then a few USPS boxes (priority mail) of booth supplies, tools, and some heavier marketing items like catalogs and press kits.
4. Since we showed both of our brands at our very first tradeshow, sass&peril and The Paper Cub Co., we had two catalogs, two sets of business cards, and two set of vinyl signs. This increased our marketing materials percentage a bit.
Ok, I think that is enough explaining! I hope this chart will be useful for you and give you a real picture of what goes into these types of shows from a financial standpoint. I will be back next week with the fourth and final installment covering our final thoughts on the show and if we met our goals and expectations.

BG, The charring on the bottom bar of the frames occurs when the JB200 is not pushed far enough into the hive to overcome the weight of the handle and wiring, causing the heater and pan to be lifted up and come into contact with the frames. This can also cause the heater and pan to become tilted sideways and the liquified acid will spill out reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Sometimes ladder comb and other debris will prevent full insertion of the unit, so to overcome this problem keep a scraper handy to slide into the hive opening and clear a path for the vaporizer.

LYLE CHRISTIE WAS having a pretty good time, running the Sweatshop, his martial arts studio in Sausalito, writing screenplays, directing videos for the Canadian rock band Menew, riding his mountain bike on Marin's hills and living with his wife, Kristin, and their two dogs on their cozy yacht.
Then the fifth-degree black belt was diagnosed with an aggressive form of stage IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma. As he was about to start a month of treatments in isolation at Stanford University, he thought he would write the definitive book on cancer. But a few pages into it just made him even more depressed. Instead, he decided to write a book about everything he was missing — sex, booze, good food, adventure, humor. Oh, and uninterrupted bathroom time.
The result was "Soft Taco Island," the first in his Mantasy series featuring Tag Finn, a United States Air Force parajumper turned private investigator. (http://lylechristie.com)
After a bone marrow transplant in December, Christie, 43, is in remission. He's in the process of donating his books to the cancer centers that helped him.
Q: How did you come up with the idea for the Mantasy series?
A: I was at Stanford and going through the typical literature stuff that's out there for dudes and I was just kind of sick of them. None of these were really taking me away enough. I said, I know, I'm going to write the book I want to read and include everything I don't have, almost gratuitously.
Q: Had you ever written a book before?
A: Not a book. I've done screenplays, I've had a couple optioned and I'm sort of the go-to guy for a production company. They would come to me and go, we need a treatment and we need it in two days.
Q: Is Tag Finn modeled after anyone?
A: I wanted to create a man who was manly like James Bond but had to have vulnerabilities. One of the things I was facing at that time was privacy in the bathroom. They were monitoring how much I peed and they always wanted to see your stool sample in the morning, and to me that was horrific. So I decided my shtick with my character would be that the one thing he craved above all else was, if he could get in the bathroom and not be disturbed for 15 minutes, it would be a good day. I realized I never read a book that started with a protagonist on a toilet, and I thought, that's kind of funny. It would either be a love it or hate it thing, but you never get anywhere by playing it safe.
Q: In what ways did writing the books help you?
A: It literally kept me sane.
Q: What do you hope people get from your Mantasy books?
A: Escapism, in all forms, whether from the job, a sickness, an illness or from the sort of very stereotypical literature in the genre.

Elementary Concert
Carter Co., Tenn. -
Many school children across the nation get their first introduction to the appreciation and playing of music with a little plastic recorder, a simple woodwind instrument.
Hundreds of those students got their chance to play their little recorders with the East Tennessee Regional Symphony and the Milligan College Orchestra today.
It was part of an educational outreach provided by Carnegie Hall.
Seeger Chapel on the campus of Milligan College is near capacity, not with just an audience but with musicians.
800 plus third, fourth and fifth graders from Washington County Schools. They sing and perform with their simple little recorders backed by the East Tennessee Regional Symphony and the Milligan College Orchestra.
The concert is the culmination of a semester of music education provided by the Carnegie Hall Weill Music Institute "Link Up" music program.
"They provide the curriculum for the schools, they provide the teacher guides, the student workbooks, online resources and the kids learn it throughout the semester and it culminated in a concert," Says Lori Love with the symphony.
"I visited all 11 schools and everybody was just so nice and hard working and I was thrilled at the efficiency and proficiency of the music teachers," Conductor Lewis Dalvit said.
And the hard work of the teachers and the students paid off as the concert hall rang out with the sounds of the orchestra and those little recorders.
"I've never played a recorder before flute or nothing and it was really fun to play because I've never played it before," Fifth grader Alexandria Street said.
"Like first getting the hand of it and then teaching it more and we started getting good," Fourth grader Kerrigan Swiger adds.
And from the looks on their faces they also enjoyed playing with their fellow students and the orchestra.
"You could look out and see 800 kids singing and playing their hearts out, it was so fun," Noah DeLong with Milligan College said.
And so much learning and a new appreciation of music that they'll carry with them a long time.

Nice appartement in a good location; also if it takes a bit of walking to the old town.
All the appointments with Salvatore were perfect, we got the keys for the appartment and a few instructions.
Great apartment!

OK. I liked everything. The apartment in the city center. All nearby. Recommend.
Great stay in Nice! Apartment very well furnished, clean and especially good (shops, tourist attractions and restaurants nearby).
Will definitely stay again !!!
Super séjour à Nice ! Appartement très bien meublé, propre et surtout bien situé (boutiques, lieux touristiques et restaurants à proximité).
J'y retournerai sans hésiter !!!
Thank you a lot! A great place near the sea where you can enjoy the seaview. Very cozy and charming!
Apartment well situated and very clean.
friendly host :)
Appartement bien situer et très propre.
hôte sympathique :)
We enjoyed our stay in this studio, however were disappointed by two things. If the weather is warm the windows need to be open and the street noise is very loud. The second disappoinment is that the ceiling height of the mezzanine is about 5ft (1.5m) which means that any Tennant has to stoop. This is not apparent from the photos.
Nice, tiny appartment which was clean and tidy, very close to the shopping strip and 10 min to get to the beach. We didn't meet salvatore, but his cousin who nicely explained everything and handed out the keys.
Ideally almost fantastic apartment, small clean and cute. A little 'hot but a really nice holiday. Nice is also wonderful for those who have small children like us.
Posizione ideale quasi fantastica, appartamento piccolo pulito e carino. Un po' caldo ma veramente una bella vacanza. Nizza è stupenda anche per chi ha bimbi piccoli come noi.
The apartment is absolutely brilliant - with a great terrace and a nice kitchen suitable for making breakfast and quick snacks. The host is very friendly and helpful – and quick to reply when contacted.
The apartment is located in the more quit part of Nice, and still only 700m from the beach very close to walking street and the old town. There is three Casino supermarket within 200-300m and two bakeries around the corner - the small funky organic "Bread" 50m up Gambetta and the big old school croissant pastry café on the of Gambetta corner. It's also quite easy to get there from airport if u take the cheap local bus 23 and get off at Alsace Lorraine (when u come from the airport it's the second stop on Gambetta). The apartment is also very close the Nice main train station – so u can get to Cannes in 30 min, and Monaco in 20 min.

Robert Bullard, often called the father of environmental justice and a leading campaigner against environmental racism, will give the keynote address for the university's annual Earth Day celebration on Tuesday, April 22, at 7 p.m. in Mahar Auditorium.
Named by Newsweek as one of the 13 Environmental Leaders of the Century, Bullard is the author of 17 books that address sustainable development, environmental racism, urban land use, industrial facility siting, community reinvestment, housing, transportation, climate justice, emergency response, smart growth, and regional equity.
This year's Earth Day theme is "Climate Change: Building a Diverse Movement for Environmental Justice and Sustainability." Organizers hope the campus community will reflect on Bullard's decades-long campaign against eco-racism and be inspired to take action toward building more diverse and inclusive coalitions for the sustainability movement on campus and in the broader community, says Ezra Small, campus sustainability manager.
"We hope that by studying and following Dr. Bullard's work, we can engage a broader, more diverse community of people in the sustainability conversation," he adds.
Bullard's talk kicks off four days of campus activities held in conjunction with the YWCA's annual Stand Against Racism campaign. Other campus Earth Day events include a Protect Our Breasts fundraising Yogathon with continuous yoga instruction from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the Fine Arts Center plaza and a Sustainability Fair on the Goodell lawn from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The fair will feature interactive student group tables, music, trivia and other games, a series of spin bikes for students to try out, and garden/farm market booths to promote sustainable health on campus.
In keeping with this year's theme, a community panel on environmental justice featuring hip hop activist and 2008 Green Party vice presidential candidate Rosa Clemente, Holyoke mayor Alex Morse, youth director Ibrahim Ali of the Springfield Gardening the Community Project, and Diego Angarita of Nuestras Raices will be held in the Commonwealth Honors College Events Hall from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. A campus dialogue, "Building Diverse Movements for Environmental Justice and Sustainability," will follow from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
All Earth Day events are free and open to the public.

The Global Malaria action Plan
For a Malaria Free World
"Malaria defeated the international community many years ago. We cannot allow this to happen again. A single global action plan for malaria control, that enjoys Partnership-wide support, is a strong factor for success."
Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization
"I believe that if you show people a problem, and then you show them the solution, they will be moved to act. The Global Malaria Action Plan lays out an achievable blueprint for fighting malaria – now it's time for the world to take action."
Bill Gates, Co-Chair, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
"The Global Malaria Action Plan aims to ensure that no country is left behind in the global fight against malaria - comprehensive, continent-wide coverage is critical to long-term success."
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Minister of Health of Ethiopia
"It is imperative that universal coverage of prevention and treatment for the millions of people who suffer and die from malaria is attained. The Global Malaria Action Plan will guide and unify the malaria community in its efforts to provide timely and effective assistance to endemic countries. With sufficient funding and political support, this plan will help us reap dramatic gains against malaria in the coming years."
Awa Marie Coll-Seck, Executive Director of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership
"The Global Malaria Action Plan makes a strong case for investing in malaria. I urge advocates in countries and at global level to use this plan to mobilise resources for malaria control and help answer the UN Secretary General's call for universal access to malaria prevention and treatment."
Ray Chambers, UN Special Envoy for Malaria

Industry ties of commentators
List of companies
Breakdown by media outlet
Think Tanks
LittleSis: list of commentators
Authors: Gin Armstrong, Whitney Yax, Kevin Connor
Media contact: Kevin Connor, 718-916-0925, email@example.com
Read coverage: Washington Post
During the public debate around the question of whether to attack Syria, Stephen Hadley, former national security adviser to George W. Bush, made a series of high-profile media appearances. Hadley argued strenuously for military intervention in appearances on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and Bloomberg TV, and authored a Washington Post op-ed headlined "To stop Iran, Obama must enforce red lines with Assad."
In each case, Hadley's audience was not informed that he serves as a director of Raytheon, the weapons manufacturer that makes the Tomahawk cruise missiles that were widely cited as a weapon of choice in a potential strike against Syria. Hadley earns $128,500 in annual cash compensation from the company and chairs its public affairs committee. He also owns 11,477 shares of Raytheon stock, which traded at all-time highs during the Syria debate ($77.65 on August 23, making Hadley's share's worth $891,189). Despite this financial stake, Hadley was presented to his audience as an experienced, independent national security expert.
Though Hadley's undisclosed conflict is particularly egregious, it is not unique. The following report documents the industry ties of Hadley, 21 other media commentators, and seven think tanks that participated in the media debate around Syria. Like Hadley, these individuals and organizations have strong ties to defense contractors and other defense- and foreign policy-focused firms with a vested interest in the Syria debate, but they were presented to their audiences with a veneer of expertise and independence, as former military officials, retired diplomats, and independent think tanks.
The report offers a new look at an issue raised by David Barstow's 2008 Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times series on the role military analysts played in promoting the Bush Administration's narrative on Iraq. In addition to exposing coordination with the Pentagon, Barstow found that many cable news analysts had industry ties that were not disclosed on air.
If the recent debate around Syria is any guide, media outlets have done very little to address the gaps in disclosure and abuses of the public trust that Barstow exposed. Some analysts have stayed the same, others are new, and the issues and range of opinion are different. But the media continues to present former military and government officials as venerated experts without informing the public of their industry ties – the personal financial interests that may be shaping their opinions of what is in the national interest.
This report details these ties, in addition to documenting the industry backing of think tanks that played a prominent role in the Syria debate. It reveals the extent to which the public discourse around Syria was corrupted by the pervasive influence of the defense industry, to the point where many of the so-called experts appearing on American television screens were actually representatives of companies that profit from heightened US military activity abroad. The threat of war with Syria may or may not have passed, but the threat that these conflicts of interest pose to our public discourse – and our democracy – is still very real.

Why Vinyl Will Never Die

Who would've thought, some 26 years ago, that records would be experiencing one of the most fascinating resurgences in musical history?

My father's first pressing of Roxy Music's Country Life was the first time I ever saw breasts and bush. Merry Christmas from the White Stripes was my first seven-inch, gifted to me back in the Christmas of 2002. Eventually, when I moved in with my first long-term boyfriend, all 680 of my parents' records came with me. Those albums were probably the only thing I took care of. For the remainder of our stay they lived in milk crates in the living room, between the rows of VHS tapes whose ribbons were adorned with bootlegged Simpsons episodes and the futon which harbored the shittiest cat on the planet. The Mothers of Invention's We're Only in It for the Money would soundtrack our 420-friendly dish cleaning routine, and at least once Bob Dylan calmed us down after a fight. While the needle dragged across the grooves emitting his crackling croon, we came to the realization that maybe, just maybe, adulthood isn't what we thought it would be.
There are a lot of those big round discs strewn about my past. Vinyl records were always there, and they always will be. The now-ragged boxes have made their journey farther and farther from home, from apartment to apartment; their number has almost doubled thanks to the revival of vinyl. Who would've thought, some 26 years ago, that records would be experiencing one of the most fascinating resurgences in musical history? Sub Pop, a Seattle record label known for signing grunge band Nirvana, celebrated its silver jubilee this year and takes pride in the fact that it never stopped pressing records, not even once. Richard Laing, the head of sales over at Sub Pop, explained that although there was a time the medium's popularity waned, "it's been steady and has increased since I joined [seven years ago]. Particularly in the last three or four years I'd say it's become a bigger part of the makeup of our record label."
Many other labels are reintroducing or upping their production of vinyl too. Record sales increased 33 percent in the beginning of this year alone (about 2.9 million sold in six months, compared to the 3.6 million sold in 2011) while the CD, knocking on death's door for years now, diminished by 14.2 percent. Some chalk it up to a fad, but phono lovers attribute the recent rise to records' stellar sound quality (which blows CDs out of the water). This year's Record Store Day drew its biggest crowd to date, pushing vinyl LP sales numbers higher than they have been in 22 years, with Nielsen SoundScan recording 244,000 vinyl LPs sold on the week of April 21st. "This pales in comparison with the 765,000 albums that were moved by indie retailers last Christmas," MStars News reminds us, "and only one Record Store Day release broke the Billboard Hot 200. Mumford and Sons' 'Live at Bull Moose' sold 3,000 copies to land at 174."
But in a world where immediate consumerism runs rampant, why is this finicky niche expanding? For one, there's the nostalgia factor for those who lived in the heyday of the LP or those (to whom the better half of record sales are attributed) who may experience "Golden Age Thinking," a term coined by Woody Allen's character in Midnight in Paris which is defined as "the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one one's living in." In their minds, as a friend whose master's degree focused on music collecting and nostalgia put it, "records also symbolize a time when the music industry was 'less corrupt,' music was 'better' and 'less derivative'—all quotations, because of course this is not the case, but that is the rose-colored glasses effect of nostalgia."
Then there's the fact that purchasing a record makes you feel more connected with the band: a physical item instead of a digital version (which you usually get anyway by means of a download code) gives you a sense of camaraderie, an artifact and a physical objet d'art. The CD, to the collector's eye, is a meek way of collecting. There's not much room for album art, liner notes or posters; the bigger the better. Bands can (and tend to) get more creative with what they give away with their records. With CDs, it's always the same old 4.7 x 4.7" jewel case.
The lack of ties that bind the listener to the internet, television and other commercial drivers is another draw. Scholar Roy Shuker, in his 2006 paper "Wax Trash and Vinyl Treasure: Record Collecting as a Social Practice,"delves into the notion that Canadian teens are vinyl collectors because they are attempting to resist the trite mass-media approach to music in the 21st century.
Then there's the notion of procuring something rare. Like Shuker, many consider rarities to be cultural capital. Laing told me that after all these years, people still contact Sub Pop about Nirvana's "Love Buzz" single, which had only one pressing of 1,000. "There's even a site online run by a guy who is chronicling every single person in the world who owns a copy. He's almost there, too; it's crazy. We still get people asking us for copies for outrageous amounts." When it comes to common-day vinyl memorabilia, Jack White's Third Man Records is the glimmering beacon. Selling records by novelty or packaged in new and exciting ways is their forte. And when those records hit the web, sellers are able to flip them for a pretty astronomical profit. Despite the fact that there is little to no nostalgia connected to their pieces, they're selling for a lot of money.
Take, for example, White's "Sixteen Saltines" 12-inch vinyl that's filled with a blue liquid. Right now on eBay they are selling for over $500 each. White's flexi disc of "Freedom at 21," which he and his team released by balloon from their base in Nashville, broke the record for the highest priced flexi disc of all time, going for $4238.88. "As far as can be discerned, this is the highest price ever paid for a flexi-disc record, topping out usual benchmarks from obscure Japanese hardcore singles of the early 80's [sic] and Beatles fan-club Christmas offerings." The Third Man team posted on their site, "Of 1000 balloons launched, only a handful have been discovered so far." Are these buyers art enthusiasts, music enthusiasts or both?
I would rather hunt for a record than go on eBay and blow half a paycheck on an album. It's fun to buy, swap and trade albums with enthusiasts, and there's something special about bonding over records with family and friends. This year I was given two books of big band 78s which, upon further inspection, contained a signed Woody Herman record. My weekends wouldn't be complete without the record store circuit, where I justify every purchase with "I've always wanted this!" Then the pièce de résistance: listening to barely audible stand-up albums curled against the speaker while attempting to hold back laughs that end up spritzing the floor with wine. Discovering rarities and new albums is a rush. If you've never gone vinyl shopping, it's that same feeling you'd experience when you were browsing at a movie rental store; you know, before those things went belly-up.

Some questions as usual
I got some doubts running in my mind ,so as usual i decided to post here.
I just finished my ccna,i had a tought when i am doing my ccna,
There are lots of local exploits being published for operating systems like linux and windows throught the year.
i)But the amount of bugs(local exploitation bugs such as an bof,stack offerflow,race condition bla bla) i had seen for the cisco ios is very rare,it is just an proprietary operating system
why there isn't many such bugs for cisco ios ?
ii) i dont know what kind of security features make it special,as far as i have searched i had seen some presentations by fx phenoelit other than that i couldn't find any promising materials regarding that ,for me it looks like an area which wasn't explored much(just my personal view,correct me if i am wrong),why is this ?
iii)is there any materials for understanding the internal ios implementations and things ?
Next question is about how to structure my learning towards local exploitation?
here are the things i had done till now
i)studied operating systems concepts book by "operating system concepts silberschatz" till chapter 14(at least 3 times,so i feel i am ok with the os theory part)
ii)i feel i had good basic understanding about networks,i had completed ccna and rhce training.
iii)regarding coding i am just a novice,i just know what are things and for what it is used(just having some theoretical knowledge)
iv)have basic understanding of web-application technologies and attcks
1)i want some advice from you guys (just another guy asking this 1000th time)how can i continue from here to become good in writing local exploits and reverse engg?
2)what are the things i should start from here like learning processor,assembly,h/w etc.,i don't know in which order i should begin,hope some one will clarify me..

Ray, yeah the rear should be all straight, then move forward measuring off those rear frame members under the body. But we know this isn't going to happen at this point, so following Nova's request..."All I'm asking is it possible to take what I have and work with it to get it close,I'm not looking for perfect All I'm asking is it possible to take what I have and work with it to get it close, I'm not looking for perfect"
And with that, getting the sheet metal straight on the front then "making" the sub frame fit it, is all I can throw out there, what else can he do? You can't make the sub frame fit what is wrong behind it, you need to adjust the front sheetmetal and then make the sub frame fit it. Hopefully the rear axle will be straight and it should be. But honestly, this is funky obviously, but what else to do when you are this far and "asking is it possible to get it close"?
I have built many things that were far from my best work, what were the expectations on that particular car? My Rambler is miles from my best work, my Gran Sport is miles from my best work, but they meet my expectations for these particular projects and most people won't see the flaws. I am thinking doing as I suggested will get this little Nova back on the street with a smile behind the steering wheel.
That's why I suggested to the Nova owner to follow your advice...I still feel he needs to square the sub-frame to the body compared to relying on rear frame points as well (wouldn't you agree, he needs a starting point to hang sheet metal?). The rear frame, in the state it's in now is a misnomer when it comes to lining up the front and sheet metal...Wheel base is also not a measuring point any more because the rear frame rails...When the rear differential is installed, it may be off to one side, to check, measure gaps and cross measure points on the rear of the car, with his O to J measurements being 3/16 of an inch difference, he can expect his rear end to be out by 3/4 to 1 inch or more on the ends of the brake drums. This won't affect his front sheet metal alignment.
So I feel he should get the front sub-square to the body, not the rear frame rails and do as you suggested by starting with aligning the rad support and hanging sheet metal, all the while, some adjustments are going to be constantly made to the front Sub-frame to adjustment for gaps and fit.
The rear quarters and some of the floor have been replaced, the rear frame rails aren't moving anymore with these items welded in or more problems arise...This way he can get a weekend driver with fit and gaps that hopefully he can live with.
I'm rereading my post and your post and I think we agree, just used different words.
The only difference between what we are saying is you are saying the correct way, square the sub frame to the body, THEN do the sheetmetal. I am saying the wrong way, but the "bestest" way in this particular project because I am not sure what you can measure off of to mount the sub frame square!
The A pillar is back on the left, the A PILLAR, the whole friggin corner of the body is back on the left, what do you have to measure from, hear me?
So I am saying this is going to have to be a "bestest" fit and a roundyround kinda job with fitting sheetmetal and going to sub frame and checking to be sure the whole front end IS square with the body, looking at MANY different points being A pillar isn't where it belongs.
You could measure off the straight stuff in the back and come forward finding all that is off and literally figure out exactly where that lower mount at the firewall is SUPPOSE to be, and put it there, you COULD do that, but I am not so sure that is going to happen on this car.
So I suggested the wrong way, to get it "close enough" for this daily driver. Sometimes it's just best to suggest "bestest" ways being the right way, well it's out of the question in this case unless he wants to go backwards big time.
Nova, if you want to go back and fix this stuff let me know and we can start over and get it all straight.
We are saying the same thing Brian, I'm suggesting putting the front sub-frame in loosely, putting the rad support loosely, squaring everything off to the body, loosely. He needs the rads support to give him inner fender support to give him front wheel well support so he can cross measure a hood opening...Correct? That's also why I mentioned in my last post about readjusting his front sub-frame while he's aligning sheet metal.
I think it's the same thing as what your saying, from now on he only needs a tape measure for is cross measuring his hood opening, everything is eyeballing and splitting the best difference.
Does this make sense , if not, please let me know because that's the way I would tackle it.
Yep, basically yes, just a dance, a dance with all the front sheetmetal and frame until it's close enough.
Thank you Brian
A suggestion to the Nova owner, would be to line the sheet metal up the way it is described and when all is acceptable to him, start tightening the bolts that give him the alignment he wants tarting at the bottom bolts of the fender, then the top bolts and move forward and side to side, all the while, taking cross measurements for his hood alignment.
Just a thought and I should have explained more... don't leave the bolts extremely loose, just a loose fit, run the bolts to the end to the thread and give them a quarter turn with a wrench, then tighten the front sub-frame more, and start your tightening procedure as described in #34.
Hope this helps.
Guys this is the most help I've every gotten on a website. I posted this on another web site and only got 4 replies and it was strictly a Nova site. I wish I would have looked the car over better than I did because I would have passed knowing it had been wreaked. I guess that why this phrase exist (**** HAPPENS).I took measurement inside the engine bay as advised. The only spots I could measure from was the top fender mounting bolts out to the fender tips both were 68 so the front end seems the be square with the body. Couldnt measure out to the hood adjusting bolts because the previous owner had put hood pin there. You can see where it fixed that issue. I also took some pics for you guys to look over.
Pics of the rear.I can see the damage now.
This is the pass side.
So you guys are saying align subframe to the car not the rear end.What will this do to the tracking? Now all I need to do is figure out where to measure to and from.Can the guy that's a Nova Guru chime in on this one any suggestions.
I going to address all this this week end so I'll probable have more questions.
Again guy thanks.
Your more than welcome and I'm sincerely hoping that things work out to your satisfaction. As I mentioned in a previous post, much of what your doing now is going to take eyeball measurements. The hood opening will take cross measurements before you do your final bolt down (sorry I can't make out the measurements in the pictures because of glare). Align the front sub-frame to the body, even by eye now because, your firewall, and A pillar have been pulled to allow door gaps...your rear frame rail measurements are out the window because of the difference in your "O" to "J" measurements. By keeping the front sub-frame semi loose, it should be easier to move it forward or backwards if needed. Gaps are going to be an "I can live with that" type of a situation. It will be a situation that may get frustrating but keep at it, a little here, a little there and you can get results that hopefully you can live with.
As far as the tracking issue goes, I would say it is hard to tell with 100% certainty, but chances are if you have the rear end bolted into the original mounting spots, it will track sideways...It probably did when you bought it, but, who looks at rear differential spacing's in a wheel well? Not many people.
I'm glad to hear your on a track that will give you better results and again, I hope that in the end, they are acceptable. Any other questions, we'll be happy to help if we can.
Best to you
With regards to your hood measurements, measure across as well for the hood with. Also with regards to the tracking issue...don't worry to much about that now, fix the alignment issues first. This car needs to be built somewhat backwards to get gaps and no matter what you do with the gaps the tracking issue will be there later and can be addressed at that time. I know it's disheartening but your not the first or last person that this has and will be happening to...the bright side, look at the experience your getting and the next one you'll have so much more knowledge...it always helps to have knowledge and often it gets the price down when buying a project.
More tips on engine bay and hood measurements, use points on your rad support (front Fender bolts, etc.) and cowl for rough cross measurements, you have probably the most adjustment of anything on your hood adjustment on your springs. As I think of more help I will keep on posting, I'm trying to visualize a 72 Nova and how it's put together and every once in a while, I think of something that may help.
I'm all outta tips on this one, I'll leave it to the collision masters. You are in good hands!! If that Nova could only talk, what a story it would tell huh?
First off don't measure to the end of the fender, you want to know where the rad support is, not the end of the fender as that can change back and forth by moving them in or out or forward or back on the rad support right?
You want to use one of those fender bolts, that is if those bolts to into a fixed nut on the top of the rad support and I memory serves me they do. If they are going into a "j nut" that moves around to allow for alignment, you can't use them. You need a "control point" on that rad support on each side that is identical.
Cross measure from the rear bolt at the fire wall to the fender bolt on the rad support I just described. There is a bolt that goes straight down onto the top of the firewall right?
Is that area unmodified? We are still searching for "control points"!
Hey guys, I have more questions.While taking a break from aligning the subframe I switched to something else.With the sheet metal align up front I figured I'd see how the bumper plastic filler fit.There are 2 of them one metal and one plastic.As you can see everything bolted up fairly easy,but the plastic top piece doesn't fit.There was no plastic filler on the car when I purchased it.I'll remove both and take another pic so you can see the metal one. Does anybody have a pic of this put together.
Something else I'd like to ask about the subframe alignment.Looking at the rear frame rail in the back the driver side does seem the be back alittle but if that was so wouldn't that make it very hard to bolt up the rear end.The leaf springs and rear axle go in as a whole and all bolt up fairly easy.
Also I noticed some of the pics I posted last week aren't showing up.
#1 the rear would bolt up fairly easily, where the problem comes in is how it tracks after it's installed...not that this test is an accurate depiction of "if or if not" your rear end is in square, it will only give you an idea. Measure from the center of the brake drum to the bottom of the rocker panel and also measure from the center of the axle to the bottom of the rear quarter panel. Compare from side to side...as I said, this is not an accurate measurement to determine tracking (as both quarters have been replaced)...just a starting point.
#2 Yes, more pictures would be helpful as far as the front filler pieces go.
Glad to hear from you again, I was thinking about you and your Nova yesterday and wondering how you where making out.
