Sukh Dhak, Thomas Martel Killed In Burnaby Gang Shooting At Executive Inn Hotel
Homicide investigators are investigating a targeted shooting that killed two men with gang ties at the Executive Inn hotel in Burnaby.
Gangster Sukh Dhak and bodyguard Thomas Mantel are reported to be the victims, according Kim Bolan of The Vancouver Sun.
Two bodies were seen inside the lobby and entrance of the hotel on Monday. Shattered glass littered the sidewalk outside.
Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
Dhak, 28, is currently on trial in a B.C. Supreme Court case where the Crown alleges he was the mastermind behind a large-scale ecstasy lab.
Dhak's brother, Gurmit Dhak, was gunned down outside the Metrotown mall in October 2010, according to CBC News.
Mantel, 30, has charges of dangerous driving and obstructing a police officer pending from 2010, reported The Vancouver Sun.
Police have issued public warnings before about retaliation violence between rival gangs. The Dhak group, which is allied with the Duhre brothers and the United Nations gang are said to be enemies with the Red Scorpions and their partners, the Independent Soldiers and the Hells Angels.
"This callous shooting occurred in a very public location which could have injured or taken the lives of many innocent people," said Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team in a news release on Monday.
Timothy W. Go reported on Twitter that an eyewitness told him he heard about 15 shots fired from outside the hotel.
"Body covered in tarp in Executive Inn lobby in #Burnaby."
Anyone with info about this double homicide in Burnaby is asked to call 1-888-551-4448
"Body slumped in front entrance of Executive Inn, #Burnaby after shooting. Glass everywhere."
"Breaking: Eyewitness pic from the scene, Executive Inn #Burnaby (Vancouver) multiple shots fired, 2 people shot."
"dead body in the entrance of the hotel in #Burnaby."
Police appear to be scanning the parking lot of the executive hotel for evidence #cbc http://instagr.am/p/Sgm7ZpF28A/

Hackable VMWare Appliances
I know there are plenty of resources out there for defeating web authentication, SQL Injection, and XSS but I am trying to find things like a Redhat 7.3 system with a 2.4 kernel and running Apache 1.3.20< or MySQL or have SNMP running with default strings. Or a Solaris system running a poorly configured version of Gauntlet. I am aware the finding a Windows image is probably out of the question because of licensing.
Thanks for your help,

I ordered 3 Cordovan Queens from Chris McCary on May 15th. Since they do not take debit/credit cards I express mailed the check to him to get the queens quickly so I could requeen some HOT hives. They do not use email, only a phone which is his cell phone. They cashed the check on May 20th and said they shipped out the queens on May 21st. After not receiving the queens on May 25th I called and he said he would check into it. I received no call back. Then after finally reaching him Chris stated he would talk to the post office with the tracking number but that he would reship on the 28th since the other queens were probably dead. Well I received no queens on yet by June 1st when he said they would be here and no queens yet by June 3rd. Now his cell phone goes right to voice mail no returned call.
I would say be very carefull sending checks that can not be refunded. I have heard good things about McCary Apiaries but I would say that in the 1 year I have been doing this they are not as professional as other I have dealt with.
Currently 6 hives and 3 stings.

In 1860–61 Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills led an expedition to cross Australia from Melbourne in the south to the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north. After arriving at their base camp at Cooper's Creek, Burke selected Wills, John King and Charles Gray to accompany him to the gulf and left four men at the base camp. They reached the gulf but on their return journey Gray died of exhaustion, and when the others arrived back at the base camp it was deserted, the reserve party having departed only nine hours before they arrived. Burke decided to try to reach a police station
at Mount Hopeless, but they eventually became too weak to continue, and he and Wills died from exhaustion and starvation. Only King survived, kept alive by Indigenous Australians until a search party found him.
Lambert depicted the exhausted body of Burke slumped against a tree, with King standing looking into the far distance and Wills crouching near an exhausted camel.
He placed the event within a harsh and desolate Australian outback scene, overlooked by ominous black crows.
He made this watercolour as an illustration
for W.H. Lang's account of the expedition.
It was published with the caption: 'On the way to Mount Hopeless' in a volume of boys' stories, Romance of empire: Australia, in 1908. This was the first attempt to present Australia's history in the form of an illustrated book for boys and met with considerable success.
Many artists depicted this story, including Ludwig Becker and Hermann Beckler, who participated in the expedition. John Longstaff painted Arrival of Burke, Wills and King at the deserted camp at Cooper's Creek, Sunday evening, 21st April 1861 (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne)in the same year that Lambert made this watercolour.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to medroxyprogesterone: compounding powder, intramuscular suspension, oral tablet, subcutaneous suspension
Cushing's syndrome is uncommon and appears to be associated with a long duration of therapy and moderate to high doses of medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Depo-Provera Contraceptive) Doses used for hormonal replacement therapy and for long-term contraception are not associated with Cushing's syndrome.
Medroxyprogesterone has mild glucocorticoid activity. In cases of medroxyprogesterone-induced Cushing's syndrome, low cortisol and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) levels with a reduced pituitary-adrenal reserve have been documented. Acute adrenal insufficiency may ensue following withdrawal of medroxyprogesterone.[Ref]
Endocrine side effects have included breast tenderness, galactorrhea with or without hyperprolactinemia, prevention of lactation, hirsutism, and Cushing's syndrome.[Ref]
Weight gain is more frequently encountered than weight loss during medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Depo-Provera Contraceptive) therapy. In women using intramuscular medroxyprogesterone for contraception, the mean weight gain after one year of therapy is 2.5 kg. After two, four, and six years, patients gain a mean of 3.7, 6.3, and 7.5 kg, respectively.
Data regarding the effect of medroxyprogesterone on lipid profiles have been conflicting. Some studies report possible negative effects on lipid profiles while others have documented a reduction in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.[Ref]
Metabolic side effects have included weight changes (increases and decreases), glucose intolerance, and changes in serum cholesterol concentrations.[Ref]
Genitourinary side effects have been relatively common and included primarily menstrual changes such as amenorrhea, irregular bleeding, spotting, and heavy bleeding. Vaginal cysts, dyspareunia, and changes in cervical erosion and secretions have also been reported. While endometrial hyperplasia has been reported, medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Depo-Provera Contraceptive) tended to have a favorable effect on the endometrium. Changes in libido and anorgasmia have also occurred.[Ref]
Withdrawal bleeding is a common complaint among postmenopausal women receiving sequential (10 to 14 days per cycle) medroxyprogesterone therapy. In postmenopausal women receiving continuous medroxyprogesterone and estrogen therapy, 75% or more are amenorrheic by one year of therapy.
In women receiving medroxyprogesterone for contraception, more than 50% are amenorrheic by one year of therapy.
In women on estrogen replacement therapy, the addition of medroxyprogesterone or other progestin for at least 10 to 14 days of each cycle significantly reduces the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and, thus, the risk of endometrial carcinoma. Low-dose continuous medroxyprogesterone therapy also reduces the risk of endometrial hyperplasia associated with the use of unopposed estrogen.
In patients in whom abnormal bleeding persists or is severe, the possibility of an organic pathology should be considered and ruled out.[Ref]
A significant increase in the incidence of breast cancer in beagle dogs in addition to an apparent increase in the incidence of endometrial cancer in rhesus monkeys was noted in early animal carcinogenicity studies.
International long-term studies designed to assess the risk of medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Depo-Provera Contraceptive) in humans, sponsored by the World Health Organization, failed to find an increased risk of cancer in users of medroxyprogesterone. Overall, there was no significant increase in the risk of breast cancer, cervical cancer, or epithelial ovarian cancer. Data from these studies did, however, support a significant (8-fold) reduction in the incidence of endometrial cancer among medroxyprogesterone users.
A study from New Zealand has suggested that women taking depot medroxyprogesterone acetate may be at higher risk for breast cancer during the first 5 years, but therapy for more than 5 years confers no increased risk of breast cancer.[Ref]
Oncologic side effects possibly associated with medroxyprogesterone have been the topic of considerable debate. Data from some animal studies suggested an increased risk of breast and endometrial cancer. The current consensus is that the carcinogenic potential of medroxyprogesterone is no greater than that of other hormonal contraceptives.[Ref]
The majority of cases of thromboembolic disease during hormonal therapy have been attributed to estrogens and not to progestins. However, it has been demonstrated that medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Depo-Provera Contraceptive) at least at high doses, can produce a hypercoagulable state. Whether or not this contributes to the development of thrombotic events remains unknown.
Because medroxyprogesterone can cause edema, it should be used cautiously in patients with underlying disease (like migraine headaches, asthma, heart disease, renal dysfunction, or seizure disorders) which may be exacerbated by edema or fluid retention.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects have included thromboembolic disorders such as thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accidents, and retinal thrombosis. In addition, edema, hypertension, tachycardia, and syncope have been noted.[Ref]
Musculoskeletal side effects have included changes in bone mineral density and leg cramps.[Ref]
Reductions in bone mineral density and osteoporosis have been attributed to medroxyprogesterone. Such effects are probably due to medroxyprogesterone-induced estrogen deficiency.
Conflicting data concerning the effects of medroxyprogesterone on bone mineral density have been reported.
In one study, women 25 to 51 years of age receiving medroxyprogesterone 150 mg intramuscularly every three months for five or more years for long-term contraception had a reduction in bone mineral density compared with premenopausal controls. However, bone mineral density in the treatment group was still significantly greater than that observed in postmenopausal controls.
A study of 200 women who received medroxyprogesterone 150 mg intramuscularly every three months for a median duration of 12 years (range 2 to 26 years) reported that bone density was significantly reduced in medroxyprogesterone users. However, bone mineral density in women starting depot medroxyprogesterone after the age of 20 years and using it for 15 or fewer years was greater than the remainder of the cohort.
A study to determine the potential for postmenopausal fracture due to residual effects of depot medroxyprogesterone in former users reported the risk to be small and unlikely to have substantial impact in postmenopausal women. No significant differences in bone density were found, however, women who had used depot medroxyprogesterone for >2 yeas had a trend toward lower bone densities.
Bone density in 185 women receiving long-term depot medroxyprogesterone for a mean of 5 years (range of 1-16 years) was only minimally below the normal population despite decreased estrogen levels.[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects have included acne, reduced hair growth, alopecia, melasma, chloasma, rash, excessive sweating, dry skin, scleroderma, erythema multiforme, and erythema nodosum.[Ref]
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included headache, asthenia, dizziness, depression, somnolence, and insomnia. Paresthesias, convulsions, and facial palsy have been reported although causality is unknown.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have occurred in up to 5% of patients and included nausea, abdominal pain, bloating, and anorexia.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects have included elevations in liver function tests, jaundice, cholestatic jaundice, and cholelithiasis.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects have included rare reports of hypercoagulability with and without thromboembolic activity.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects have been uncommon but have included urticaria, angioneurotic edema, and anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reactions.[Ref]
Local side effects associated with intramuscular administration of medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Depo-Provera Contraceptive) have included pain, change in skin color, residual lumps, and sterile abscesses at the injection site.[Ref]
Ocular side effects have included visual disturbances such as sudden loss of vision (partial or complete), sudden onset of proptosis, diplopia, or migraine have been reported. Therapy should be withdrawn in the presence of papilledema or retinal vascular lesions.[Ref]
Psychiatric side effects have included dysphoric symptoms similar to premenstrual syndrome (PMS).[Ref]

I've cut and machined up a lot of wood for parts for things like bottom boards, boxes and covers. Some of it has shrunk a lot as it's been stored indoors, and I wondered if it can get too dry.
The reason I ask is that I'm building bottoms out of tongue and groove, and I'm afraid that if it swells much, it might make the thing too wide, or it might begin to buckle.

text: For about 5 years I have used the swarm traps made out of the molded fiber material. Up until this year I've always had good luck catching swarms with them. This year I have not caught any but I think that the mice have urinated in them so much I think the bees no longer find them attrative in spite of the lemongrass oil lures I've always used. Does this theory have any merit? I've had issues in the past where I periodically have to remove mice so I know they have taken residence from time to tome. Time to throw these traps away due to the smell?

If you think the Niners 'style' of defense resembles Singletary's style of play.. that's your opinion, you are entitled to it. I KNOW you are wrong because I am a die-hard fan in the truest since of the word, that seeks and soaks up every piece of information on the Niners.. I make it my business to know as much as possible, if that means anything.
Singletary was an All-Pro and Hall of Fame L'backer, if you say our defense plays like a bunch of All-Pros, I'll take that as a compliment.. but what you think Mike Singletary did for the Niners has been overblown by the national mediots. Singletary as a MLB doesn't need to know Xs and Os, but if you are the head coach.. seems like you'd make it your business to know what's going on so if one of your coordinator calls a formation or play, you actually know what's going on. I think the players would appreciate it if the head coach could come to them and say a certain play will work and explain why.. instead of a guy yelling at them and trying to convince them that playing harder will win, instead of re-thinking the strategy or coming up with something that doesn't telegraph the play to the other side.
Mike Singletary.. GREAT Middle L'backer, terrible head coach. Don't believe everything you read in the national media.. alot of what they put out there is rarely accurate, you have to look for and read the local guys to get a true feel for what's going on. I wish I could give you guys links to the articles about Singletary's incompetence as a head coach. I know you guys don't know me, and I have little credibility here.. but TRUST ME.. Singletary was a NIGHTMARE!
FOR PETE'S SAKE.. when the offense or defense was getting whipped, like most coaches he'd take a timeout.. unfortunately, instead of strategizing a play or formulating a scheme to take advantage of what the defense was doing.. Mike Singletary was giving inspirational speeches! This has been documented. Singletary is probably a great motivational speaker, horrible head coach.. mediocre position coach.. he don't teach technique, just inspirational words!
I get it, you guys wish Singletary was the head coach for sunday's game.. fortunately for all Niners' fans.. and unfortunately for gints' fans.. he's not.
Harbaugh was pretty successful as a quarterback, one time holding the nickname Captain Comeback. He may not have been the best but he was definitely a tough one and used to take beatings on a regular in Chicago and Indy....even more so than Jeff George.
While I think he is arrogant, I definitely think he was the right guy for Alex Smith. He turned him into a Trent Dilfer style quarterback, who manages the game but is not one who is relied upon to win the game.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I, too, would love to see that link and the pictures!! I hope it's not gone!!
I never use the lines on my mat. Maybe that is why mine lasts so long. I have noticed that people who use the lines have a ridge on the line they use most. They also have to replace them often.
I use the lines on my mat to make sure the ruler is straight.
I use the lines on my Alto Quick Cut 2.
If a woman's work is never done....why start?
I would also like to see the post/tut on measuring with the mat vs rulers. Hope we can find it.
I agree with ladies 17, 18 & 19. Then what are the lines on the mat for? That's what I've been using along with my rulers. Oooooh now I'm even more confused. Could someone post the original explanation of rulers/mat lines?
I use my rulers for cutting, lines on the mat can get confusing so I turned the mat over and use the back side. I only use the front to straighten the edge of my material.
I only use the ruler. Since I've never taken a class, I figured that's what it's for. My sister uses the mat lines, and there is a slice in the mat from so many pieces cut. My sewing is less that perfect anyway even though I try really hard.
Life is not a movie. No one is going to yell "CUT" when you make a mistake. - Anne L. Fulton

Re: The Attacker RESUB
This is really neat! I read your other comment before I saw the resub; I love how you handled the bottom of the design. It's not just a "crutch" to deal with the printable area: it really adds to the design.
But the other posters are right about the thumbnail: it needs to be the entire design or a detail directly from the shirt. Your first submission had the same problem and I'm sorry that none of us caught it there! Hopefully you can make the one additional small change and resubmit, because this is great. (And the community tends to support new artists who handle feedback graciously, so I think you'll have sympathy from people who voted for the initial design and are impressed that you've addressed the technical/woot-rules-stuff. Hopefully they'll come back to vote for the resub!)

text: How land becomes tax-forfeited Tax-forfeited land is the result of unpaid property taxes. The process from delinquent taxes to forfeiture is: Taxes become delinquent as of January the year following when the taxes were due. Notification to the taxpayer of record is given. District Court enters judgment against the property. (Unpaid taxes are a lien against the property, not a personal debt of the owner.) Judgment is entered as of April in the delinquent year. "Period of redemption" begins — depending on ownership, use and location of the property, the period of redemption is one, three or five years from judgment. Based on 2013 Legislation eliminating the five-year redemption period, new tax judgment sales in 2014 and subsequent years will have either a one or three year period of redemption. (During this period, the owner, or anyone else having interests in the property, can pay the delinquent taxes and forfeiture will not occur.) If the property taxes remain unpaid after the statutory "expiration of redemption period", the land forfeits to the State of Minnesota. The county is then responsible for management of the Tax-Forfeited Land Program.

I like Barron. I think I even liked the idea of Barron over Claiborne (and keeping our 2nd round pick). But it's way too early to call him the next Ronnie Lott.
That's one hell of a hit against a pretty tough WR. But delivering hits like that only shortens your career.
See: Roy Williams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbjQIA7EN4s
Hope Barron's career doesn't end up like Roy's.
Great point Ntegrase96(what a name!). Hits like that from Barron will definitely shorten Cruz's career.

do you have a web site?
do you have a web site?
I'm in.
So 89 + shipping to me would that not wind up around mann lakes price and they have free shipping.?
Mannlakes price is $119. Id never charge $30 dollars to ship a 4 lb jacket. This ships for free.
I'm in ...
I'm interested. Made in USA ?
I've heard of that, but what does it mean?
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
I'm in for a jacket - 2X size for me if that is not a problem.
I'm in.
I am in for a full suit and gloves. Thanks Size XL
Ok, I'm in for a large jacket.
GROUP PURCHASE HAS MET ITS MINIMUM QUANTITY!!! Thank you to everyone who has agreed to buy in on this. On Monday (ugh its 12:30AM) sometime I'm going to post this product on my website then post a link here. You'll need to go through the checkout process on the website, there you can choose your size, if you'd like a jacket or a suit. you can ALSO choose the gloves as well. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PURCHASES ARE IN BY WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT. I am placing the order with the manufacturer on Thursday. They typically take a week to a week and a half to produce and they typically arrive within a week. (give or take a few days, we will update you on the progress) We will ship them the follow day because they don't usually show up until later in the day.
Total is 89.00 with free shipping for the Jacket. Full suits are $109.00 with free shipping. Gloves are $13.00 WITH the purchase of a ventilated jacket or suit and those are also shipped for free.
I'm in for a jacket.
In the notes field of the order PLEASE type in your Beesource username. Thank you!
I need these orders in and placed by midnight on Wednesday. I am placing the order with the MFG on Wednesday around 1AM.
Where do we select size? Can I use the Mann Lake catalog guide for size to choose the size I want? Will they be about the same? I want BOTH a jacket and a suit... must I do 2 separate checkouts to get them both?
I enabled the size for the jacket or suit.. If you already ordered there is no need to re-do anything, I'll ask you for your size if you didn't put it in the notes. . So please select all 3 drop down options. Suit or Veil, Suit/Veil Size, Gloves Yes or no. Select the jacket size for what size bee jacket you normally wear. Again if you are on the larger end of your current size, get the next size up unless you plan on losing weight.. (unlike me).. I keep telling myself I'm an XL.... but I keep reaching for the XXL
Don't forget to order yourself a nice J-hook frame lifter hive tool that will also ship for free with your jacket or suit! They're located under the "Items shipped Free" section!
Post #47?

SP1 released on Feb 16 for Technet and MSDN users. For the rest of you waiting until the Windows Update Feb 22 release I figured I'd detail a few notes.
Q. What does SP1 provide?
A. If you're a Windows 7 user only bug fixes. If you are a Server 2008 R2 users who does not use Hyper-V, you too only got bug fixes. Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V meanwhile received two new features: RemoteFX for 3D Guests and USB Redirection and Dynamic Memory to end the need for static memory assignments per Guest.
Q. Got a link for the bug fixes?
A. Link You may need the free Excel Viewer to read the file.
Q. How about install tips?
A. If you're running Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V then you should definitely review the Deployment notes as the situation has a few caveats. For everyone else the process is more streamlined.
1. Disk Space:
a. 2008 R2 Stand-alone install: 903 MB download and 7.4 GB of free disk space.
b. 2008 R2 Windows Update: 95.7 MB download and 850 MB of free disk space.
c. Windows 7 x86 Stand-alone install: 537 MB download and 4.1 GB of free disk space.
d. Windows 7 x64 Stand-alone install: 903 MB download and 7.4 GB of free disk space.
e. Windows 7 x86 Windows Update: 44.3 MB download and 750 MB of free disk space.
f. Windows 7 x64 Windows Update: 73.7 MB download and 1050 MB of free disk space.
-What is up with those huge numbers on the Stand-alone install?
The stand alone install includes 35 languages.
2. You'll need Admin credential to elevate the install.
3. Make a backup of your system with Windows Backup. The SP1 install will generate a restore point, but don't rely solely on that.
4. Update drivers.
5. Disconnect the UPS monitoring.
6. Make sure laptops are plugged in.
7. Disable anti-virus.
8. Launch a command prompt with elevated privileges and do a chkdsk c: /f (where C: is the system drive)
9. Launch a command prompt with elevated privileges and do a sfc /scannow
10. Download and run the System Update Readiness Tool.
11. Launch Windows Memory Diagnostics to check for defective memory.
The latter steps are handy in finding, preventing, and correcting file corruption.
Q. I do deployments of service packs via command lines, what are the switches for this release?
A. /forcerestart, /nodialog, /norestart, /promptrestart, /quiet, /unattend, /warnrestart:[<seconds>], /? or /help
For more details see the Deployment Guide here.
Q. Am I able to Slipstream this Service Pack?
A. Sort of. It doesn't work the same way it did in XP.
Q. "What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?"
A. If you're high speed you can use the AIK and DISM (One, Two) in order to integrate SP1 into the WIM. According to the SP1 deployment guide *this is considered an unsupported action.*
Alternatively you can do a reverse integration, *this is the supported method.*
1. Install a fresh copy of Windows 7 RTM to any available machine in your home or organization.
2. Apply SP1 and nothing else
3. Run sysprep
4. Boot to WinPE (must have created a WinPE boot device)
5. Usage ImageX to capture the Windows 7 SP1 install on the disk of the machine
The image you captured is *not* tied to the machine/hardware you installed on. You can now use the captured image to deploy a fresh copy of Win7 SP1 to any machine you desire. What you have generated and subsequently captured *IS* a clean install. You can even remove the user account you had to generate in order to apply SP1 before you captured the image if you want.
A step by step guide for Windows 7 imaging
One word of caution, sysprep is a powerful too, but no single install can endure more than *THREE* uses of the /generalize switch. At that point the activation subsystem for any non-KMS Windows client will resist being reset.
The last option is to be a Technet or MSDN subscriber and simply grab the latest ISO directly from Microsoft.
Q. SP1 is awesome. I'm never going back, how do I remove the backup of replaced RTM files?
A. GUI: Run Disk Clean Up with Admin privileges and select to uninstall the Service Pack Backup Files with a checkmark.
Cli: 1. DISM.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded
Niche needs:
To remove the files from an offline image, run the following command:
DISM.exe /Image:<path_to_offline_image> /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded
The /spsuperseded option removes the backup files created during installation. You can use the /hidesp option to hide the service pack from the list of installed updates without removing the files.
Q. SP1 oriented my toilet paper the wrong way and put a hex on my family and me. How do I get rid of this?
A. GUI: Control Panel > Program and Features > View Installed Updates > Select Service Pack 1 (KB976932) > Click Uninstall
Cli: Wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:976932 (requires root privs)
Extra switches: /norestart, /promptrestart, /quiet, /warnrestart:[<seconds>]

text: My sugar frames did not set up. I know I didn't hit the crack candy stage of 310 degrees. The recipe called for 275 degrees. I am thinking of incorporating baking soda in limited amount to this as I use it to harden peanut brittle when making it. It is incorporated at the last few seconds and causes the candy to flash into hard set. I need to know if baking soda is harmful to bees. I plan on using 1 tablespoon per 25#'s of sugar and 2 quarts of water. Maybe less could be used but need info as to whether it is harmful to bees.

The Nisswa Community Children's Library would like to thank everyone who helped make our 2013 Summer Reading Program "Dig Into Reading" a huge success once again.
Ninety-two children were enrolled in our program, actively reading all summer long. They were rewarded with weekly prizes and a free paperback book.
A special thank you goes out to those who provided our weekly Wednesday morning programming, Rafferty's Pizza for providing pizza for our Reading Celebration and, of course, our sponsors who made this free reading program possible.
We thank you for seeing the value of literacy in young children. It truly does make a difference for not only their future, but our own!
Janet Haeg,
NCCL Summer Reading Program Coordinator

text: Adam Wheeler falsified his transcripts and etc., to get himself accepted as a transfer student at Harvard... after having been dismissed from Bowdoin due to academic dishonesty. Harvard only realized what he'd done in his senior year, when he applied for Fulbright and Rhodes scholarships by listing someone else's work as his own. One of the profs reviewing the scholarship applications recognized the listed work as being that of a fellow professor, and thus not the student's. Wheeler is being brought up on charges, including larceny, due to having, basically, stolen the over $45k in financial aid he'd received in order to pay for his schooling. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/re...accused_of_falsifying_documents_from_harvard/ Interestingly, he was denied an internship at McLean Hospital because they found that he'd lied on his application. See, McLean did a background check. But for Harvard, the kid somehow was able to falsify and submit fake SAT scores, MIT transcripts, Phillips Academy transcripts, false professor references, etc, and got in without a second glance.

Discussion in 'Chevy HHR Forum' started by offieliya, May 4, 2011.
Any tricks to changing the heater blower motor? Looks like its under the dash passenger side. Thanks
No Problems in changing the blower motor.....but then again it all depends on the Model and Year of the Vehicle??
Our Co 06 HHR smelled like Burned Electronics.. Strong smell coming from the Pass side Took the Fan resistor out first, replaced that then the Blower motor.. BURNED!!!! Smelled like Crap.. Rusty water all over it, Tried to remove the plug and it was melted in.. The car only has 86K on it,, Cut the wires and took it out.. Saw 2 Butt connectors at the end so I see it was replaced before....It was at out warehouse in Va before,, Will post pics next week....

text: I was thinking that the Giants should consider resigning Brandon Jacobs to play fullback. The upside to this move is he is an excellent blocker to protect Eli and can catch the ball in the flat out of the backfield and get good yardage. Im sure he can adapt to lead blocking for Wilson and Brown. He has plenty of gas left in his tank and should be healthy. Also he wants to come back home and he could be a positive force in the locker room. He knows the system and we can get him for veteran minimum. In sum the move definitely has more upside than risks. Finally he is only about a year older than Leach so the Giants cannot say he is over the hill if they want to sign Vontee Leach.

There are several board game–related Kickstarter projects currently in the works, and since I'm still getting caught up from a recent trip I figured I'd better tell you about them now before I forget and time runs out!
First up: a project that has already hit 740% of its goal with a month left to go, which means chances are you've probably already heard of it. But just in case you haven't, the Official Settlers of Catan Gaming Board solves the problem of the board hexes shifting around while you're playing the game. It's fantastic to have a modular board for that variety and replay value, but it means you can't easily pick the game up and go somewhere else with it — and when somebody bumps the table you have reposition everything.
This board (with the optional leaf for 5–6 players) will hold the island of Catan steady, with spaces for the roads in between. It comes in two halves that notch together, and if you play a lot of Settlers then you'll definitely want to add this to your game collection. The Catan folks liked the idea so much that it's officially licensed, and at $25 for the 3–4 player basic board it won't break the bank.
If you're a big spender, though, you can also pledge for the Seafarer boards, or the limited edition walnut board which will be engraved with your name and serial number. (#001 went to Klaus Teuber himself!)

Do not use this medication if you are allergic to interferons or human albumin.
Some patients using interferon medications have become very depressed or had thoughts of suicide. Stop using interferon beta-1b if you have symptoms of depression (sadness, crying, loss of interest in things you once liked) or if you have any thoughts of hurting yourself.
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication:
- liver disease;
- a thyroid disorder;
- epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
- a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder, such as hemophilia;
- anemia (lack of red blood cells); or
- a history of depression or suicidal behavior.
FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby, or may cause a miscarriage. Do not use interferon beta-1b if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.
It is not known whether interferon beta-1b passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Interferon beta-1b is made from human plasma (part of the blood) and may contain viruses and other infectious agents that can cause disease. Although donated human plasma is screened, tested, and treated to reduce the risk of it containing anything that could cause disease, there is still a small possibility it could transmit disease. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.
How should I use interferon beta-1b (Extavia)?
Interferon beta-1b is given as an injection under the skin. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. You may be shown how to inject your medicine at home.
Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles and syringes.
Interferon beta-1b is injected into a skin area of the thigh, stomach, buttocks, or back of the upper arm. This medication comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Interferon beta-1b is usually given as one injection at bedtime every 48 hours (2 days). Follow the directions on your prescription label. Try to use your injections at the same time each dosing day.
Interferon beta-1b is a powder that comes in a single-use vial (bottle) with a liquid (diluent) that must be mixed with the powder in the vial. Gently swirl but do not shake the vial after mixing the medicine. Allow any bubbles or foam to settle before drawing the medicine into a syringe.
If the medicine has changed colors or has any particles in it, call your doctor for a new prescription.
Do not draw your interferon beta-1b dose into a syringe until you are ready to give yourself an injection. Use a different place on your skin each time you inject this medication. Do not inject interferon beta-1b into the same skin area two times in a row.
Use each disposable needle only one time. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects, your blood and liver function will need to be tested on a regular basis. Your thyroid function may also need to be tested. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.
Store interferon beta-1b vials at room temperature away from moisture and heat. After mixing the medicine you should use it right away, or within 3 hours after mixing if you store it in a refrigerator. Do not freeze.

Several staff members resign from Pequot Lakes Schools
The Pequot Lakes School Board accepted the resignations of nine staff members at its meeting Monday night, June 17.
Meghan Kazmierczak, high school teacher, and Brian Kazmierczak, district technology integrationist and head girls' track coach, are both resigning as Brian has accepted a principal position at another school.
High school teachers Melissa Schmeck and Lindsey Kaiser also resigned.
Teacher resignations at Eagle View Elementary School include Allison Reigel, elementary teacher/literacy coordinator, and Jennifer Virnig, elementary teacher.

• Accepted bids from Pan-O-Gold for bread and Aitkin Dairy for milk.
• Raised the price of school lunches, as required by law. Due to federal mandate, lunch prices must increase by at least 10 cents.

"We are honoured to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The 3 of us are especially appreciative of our loyal fans whose support and dedication has gone a long way to making this possible. P.S. And special thanks to our moms for voting 6,000 times!" Alex, Geddy, & Neal.
A typical mix of modesty and humor from the members of Rush, the Canadian prog rock band that finally — finally —cracked the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nearly 40 years after their first release. Rush has racked up a 20 studio album (plus numerous collections and live albums) career that spans five decades, numerous formats (from vinyl to digital), and the all-time third place for most consecutive Gold or Platinum selling albums.
Rather than living in the past, Rush has continued to tour relentlessly, to release new material and to explore new mediums. Case in point, this year's Clockwork Angels, a new Rush album release accompanied by a steampunk-inspired novel written by drummer/lyricist Neil Peart in collaboration with sci-fi author Kevin J. Anderson. Continue Reading "Rush Inducted Into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" »

Chief Justice Dame Sian Elias, the senior member of a panel of five Supreme Court judges hearing the Maori Council's final bid to delay the Government's asset sales plan, says the court wants to consider potential mechanisms to protect Maori rights and interests in fresh water not canvassed by the Crown.
During the second day of the two-day hearing, Crown lawyer David Goddard QC fleshed out the Crown's arguments that the sale of shares in Mighty River Power and other power companies would not jeopardise the Government's ability to make redress for Maori rights and interests in water if and when they were determined.
Chief Justice Elias yesterday suggested the sale of shares in the companies could be restricted to just 25 per cent rather than the maximum 49 per cent the Government has legislated for. She raised that as a theoretical means of preserving the Government's capacity to make adequate redress for any subsequently proven Maori water rights.
This morning she raised the prospect that the companies' rights to use water under the Resource Management Act could have some restrictions placed them effectively earmarking them for potential settlements with Maori.
She said the court was "interested in practical steps that could be taken" to protect future settlements "because that may reflect on whether the Crown is actually in conformity" with provisions in the State Owned Enterprises Act and the new Mixed Ownership Model Act that set out the Government's treaty obligations.
Colin Carruthers QC, who is acting for the Maori Council, yesterday argued there were various mechanisms available to the Crown that enabled it to preserve means of addressing Maori rights and interests in water.
"These mechanisms will not be available after the privatisation.''
He said the Crown and Maori should be directed to consult and devise a mechanism which protected the claims until they were resolved.
However, it was ultimately the Crown's obligation under Article Two of the Treaty of Waitangi to protect Maori interests in water.
"It is not for Maori to dictate to the Crown or even in the context of litigation provide the mechanism that protects.''
Mr Goddard yesterday said "no meaningful and real option" for recognising Maori interests in rivers and other water bodies would be lost by the sale. The tools of most relevance for recognising those rights involved regulatory reform, direct negotiation with iwi leaders and Waitangi Tribunal claims. Those avenues would not be affected by the sale.
The hearing continues.

You'll have to pardon me whilst I type thru my sad tears but … it is with the heaviest of hearts that I must pass along the news that the barely relationship between Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift is over. Yes, it's sad I know … but according to People magazine, the couple called it quits last month. Awww. Jake and Taylor are dunzo, y'all!!
Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal are starting 2011 single. "They're over," a source tells PEOPLE about the short-lived relationship. "It ended last month." No reason was given for a split, and the stars reps didn't have immediate comment, but the two spent the holidays – and their birthdays – apart. Swift, 21, rang in 2011 in Nashville, solo, at a party, while Gyllenhaal, 30, was in New York, where he attended a closing party for Broadway's Fela! on Jan. 2. While in the Big Apple, Gyllenhaal was also spotted dining with his mother at the Spotted Pig. After spending Thanksgiving weekend together, the two were last seen publicly together on Dec. 9 in Los Angeles.
Let's have a moment of silence over the death of this sham, er, romance. I guess those photos of Taylor Swift lookin' super sad as she roamed the streets of Nashville, TN last weekend were our first sign that she was Jake Gyllenhalless … poor lamb, I'd be sad, too! Ah well … 'tis better to have loved and lost and all that jazz. At least now Taylor has at least an album's worth of heartbreak (and an $11k guitar) to write a new album. Jake is a single man, y'all. Happy Days are here again!! Shall we dance?!

Announce: more blacklist in use at mail.gna.org
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Wed Jun 8 09:50:14 2005.
Considering a recent spam increase, we had to take action to make sure that spam filtering would not exhaust our servers. One option would have to limit (or even suppress) spam filtering, that would have caused more spam to be delivered by our servers. The other option was to limit incoming spam before our mail server accept to deliver it, called refusal at smtp time.
We picked the second option because we do not want to resign ourselves to deliver lot of spam.
Indeed, it means that it increases chances to block legitimate mails. However, the blacklist we added are open relay servers blacklists filled by "trusted users". It should prevent too many legitimates mails to be blocked.
We are aware there is currently a Free/Proxad SMTP blacklisted, apparently because a "trusted users" made a mistake a tested a server of it's own customer (that legitimately accepted it's mail). We have contacted both Free/Proxad and people running the blacklist so this issue get sorted out. Do not hesitate to post a support request if you have similar problems, we will do our best to address it.
Note that it's quite easy of a GNU/Linux user to run it's own SMTP (not accepting mails from the outside!), to avoid such troubles.

Ravi Sandhu
UTSA researcher named editor of top computer security journal
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(Aug. 11, 2009)--The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) Computer Society has named UTSA Professor Ravinderpal "Ravi" Sandhu editor-in-chief of its scholarly journal, IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing. Sandhu's two-year term begins Jan. 1, 2010.
An internationally renowned expert in information assurance, security and trust, Sandhu holds the Lutcher Brown Distinguished Chair in Cyber Security in the UTSA College of Sciences. He also is executive director of the university's Institute for Cyber Security.
"Professor Sandhu has a keen pulse on current trends in information assurance and security, and his ability to focus that knowledge on research with practical applications is one of the things that makes him such a leader in the field," said Robert Gracy, UTSA vice president for research. "This new IEEE editorial appointment is a testament to Professor Sandhu's successful career. He is certainly well qualified to oversee the IEEE's highly respected journal."
"Although individuals in cyber space want to keep their information secure, they also value the performance of their computers," said George Perry, dean of the UTSA College of Sciences. "The editors at Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing understand this challenge. The journal's presentation of innovative systems, networks and evaluation protocols offers the industry the best possible solutions to the delicate balance of safety and performance."
Sandhu's notable career in security spans more than 35 years. Before joining the UTSA faculty, he served at The Ohio State University and George Mason University, becoming one of the most frequently cited security researchers in the security industry. He is the author of the top two most-cited scholarly papers in access control. One of those papers, "Role-Based Access Control Models," originally published in IEEE Computer in February 1996, has been cited more than 3,500 times. Additionally, he holds 13 U.S. patents for security technology and has received more than 30 sponsored research grants.
In 2000, Sandhu founded TriCipher, a corporation that markets software to protect businesses and their customers from online fraud. Previously, he was a consultant with numerous organizations including McAfee, Trusted Information Systems, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Verizon, SETA Corp., Argonne National Laboratory, Singapore Management University, Northrop Grumman and Integris Health. He has presented short courses, tutorials and invited lectures in Asia, Australia, Europe and both Americas. Today, Sandhu continues to conduct world-leading research at UTSA.
"The best source of scientific truth still lies in the rigor and authority of the peer review process, even as research journals must accelerate their traditional leisurely pace of submission to publication," said Sandhu.
Sandhu is the founding editor-in-chief of ACM Transactions on Information and System Security and served from 1997 to 2004. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from the Indian Institutes of Technology in Bombay and New Delhi, respectively, as well as master's and doctoral degrees in computer science from Rutgers University.

Military Education
Professional courses and training are an important part of the Naval Academy's integrated program. Required courses in naval science, engineering, navigation and weapons systems give you a working knowledge of modern naval operations and technology. Courses in leadership, ethics and military law help prepare you for leadership responsibilities as an upperclass midshipmen and a commissioned officer. Physical education teaches you the value of physical fitness and staying fit for life.
Summer Training
Eight weeks of annual summer training introduces you to operational units of the Navy and Marine Corps, life at sea and the responsibilities of a junior officer.
Plebe Summer
This starts on Induction Day early in July. Areas of emphasis include military indoctrination, physical education, basic seamanship and sailing, small arms training, first aid and introduction to personal computers.
Third Class Summer
In the Summer between your plebe and third class years, you will go to sea for three weeks in Yard Patrol craft to various New England ports. Additionally, you will spend three weeks in either 44-foot Naval Academy sailing sloops or participating in naval tactical training, which include simulating SEAL and Marine Corps operations and receiving an indoctrination to the joint military arena.
Second Class Summer
During the summer before your second class year, you are introduced to every major branch of the Navy and Marine Corps. In one action-packed summer, you fly Navy aircraft in Pensacola, dive in a nuclear-powered submarine off the coast of Florida, and patrol, infiltrate and attack mock enemy positions in the forests of Virginia with the Marine Corps. You and your classmates will also report to Navy ships and submarines around the world for second class cruise, You become part of the crew for four weeks, taking part in drills, gunnery exercises and standing watches underway. This experience gives you first-hand knowledge of the daily routine of the Navy at sea. You also learn to appreciate the talents, responsibilities and perspectives of the enlisted men and women you will later lead as an officer.
First Class Summer
In the final summer, you get the chance to put your leadership skills to the test, both in the fleet and at the academy. For four to eight weeks, you join a Navy or Marine Corps operational unit, and this time your duties are those of a junior officer. Depending on your career interests and qualifications, you can choose a surface warship, submarine, aircraft carrier or aviation squadron. Those midshipmen interested in choosing the Marine Corps after graduation may attend a four-week officer candidate course in Quantico, VA, with a follow-on four-week tour attached to a Fleet Marine Force unit. Selected midshipmen may also participate in a four-week internship in a wide variety of disciplines.

If you say Miley's a slut, than you are saying Beyonce is a slut, Brittany Spears is a slut, Lady Gaga is a slut… etc. No, she's not a slut but I don't think she will make the best mother. She smokes who knows what! She's also twerking and grinding on other men. It's honestly not mature.

Marouane Chamakh remains convinced that Arsenal can salvage their season by winning the Premier League.
The Moroccan striker was among those thwarted by goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar as Arsène Wenger's side were knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend by Manchester United. That disappointment compounded the pain caused by Arsenal's Carling Cup defeat to Birmingham and their Champions League exit at Barcelona.
The players and fans have been hurting since last Saturday but Chamakh knows that bringing the title to Emirates Stadium for the first time would be a perfect tonic.
"It's true that we are currently in a difficult period: we're out of the Carling Cup, the Champions League and now the FA Cup," Chamakh told Arsenal.com.
"The final thing for us to focus on is the League and, knowing the lads and the qualities we have, I think we can win it. There are ten games left until the end of the season, there is no longer any room for failure, we have run out of excuses as we are out of all three Cups.
"We are frustrated but we can win this title this season. It's the right time. This is the last stretch of a long road to the title and we need to work hard."
Arsenal go into this weekend's fixtures three points behind Man United having played a game less. Their old rivals visit Emirates Stadium on May 1 in what will no doubt be billed as a 'title decider'. For now though, Chamakh only has eyes for Saturday's opponents, West Brom.
"It's an important game, like any other," he said. "We need to win this away game in order to stay in the race for the title. We've been working really hard this week to get the right result.
"Yes these are difficult times but we need to keep our heads high and get this title. We have what it takes to do it. I want to win something this year and to achieve something great with my team-mates."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Will stick with the extract

I hoped this would work as well as the extract so it would be more convenient to take along if we were away from home. I tried this while coming down with a cold and it did not bring the relief the extract does nor did it help me to feel better. We will continue to use the alcohol free extract (same brand) as it does work extremely well and makes you feel better even if you're not sick. It's easier to take than the capsules also.
Made me sick...

I bought this herb to boost my immune system. I took 1500 mg for about two or three weeks when I started to get a really bad headache every day and stomach issues. I also began to wake up in the morning with very swollen eyelids. I've stopped taking it and I am starting to feel myself again. This might not happen to everyone, but I must be allergic or intolerant to it or something...

This product is better than the one I has from vitacost. They claim to be best & they are WRONG..... Nature's Answer from iHerb is better & cheaper as well.

The veggie caps were so much better than the ones with gluten. Thanks

I think astragalus really helps prevent colds and flu. Dr Weil believes in it, so I am giving it a try.
