I was very surprized you were on this early. So here goes with mine.

Wow, these are pretty! I'm going to try to make mine tonight/tomorrow before I leave for the beach :)
Kookie, Is it warm enough for the beach???Originally Posted by Kooklabell
Pretty blocks, ladies! On "Square Dance" I used another of the odd fabric squares (polka dots) that I got from Keepsake Quilting last year. Included in a year's membership were a number of different sized pre-cut squares, many cut from really freaky fabric; they are virtually useless, IMO, but I've have taken advantage of this FWS to use as many as I can.
What better way to use them!! I love polka dots..any way, shape or form. Your dot block is cute..
Thank you. I'm glad to be able to use it + it was just barely big enough. I love your red bandana block ... I read the discussion page so I know that it fought back tooth & nail, but it sure looks good.Originally Posted by Honchey
So far, the blocks are all looking great!
Here are mine for this week!

You may need to take some precautions, but it depends on the type of prostate cancer brachytherapy you receive.
Prostate cancer brachytherapy is designed to treat prostate cancer by delivering radiation treatment to only the prostate. This is done by implanting radioactive "seeds" containing your treatment inside your prostate gland.
Prostate cancer brachytherapy can be done with different types of radioactive seeds. The amount of radiation released by the seeds and the duration of treatment depend on the type of seeds used.
The lifetime radiation exposure to family members of men receiving prostate cancer brachytherapy is very low and doesn't exceed the annual limit set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Although the seeds remain in the prostate for the rest of your life, the amount of radiation released by them decreases with time and eventually becomes negligible.
Your radiation oncologist can provide detailed information about the specific treatment used. Recommendations for the first two months after seed implantation may include:
If you travel to foreign countries, you may encounter radiation detectors at some border security checkpoints. Consider carrying a card from your radiation oncologist indicating that you have had a prostate seed implant.

The email contact with the host was very friendly and the pictures looked very good so we were looking forward to it very much. Unfortunally the appartment was a bit of a disappointment. We had specifically asked if the flat was suitable for four persons. The double bed was ok, but the sofa bench was much too small and very hard. As a result, at least two of us had bad nights and woke up every morning with pain in the back. The flat was not "stylish" but rather outdated and it was not as clean as we expected. On the other hand, it was very close to Barbican metro station and the supermarket and restaurants in the neighbourhood were very convenient. We loved London but won't go back to this place.
Apartment located in a ok area, but with great tube- and buss connections. The interior itself didn't correspond with the pictures nearly at all, but we had a great stay in London. However, the apartment was not cleaned properly and the dishes were dirty. We also had some complications leaving our luggage since we arrived in the morning, even though it had seemed fine when we agreed by e-mail prior to arrival. There was also urine in the toilet when we arrived to check-in properly... To sum up, the apartment didn't meet our expectations, but we managed to enjoy London anyways since it was close to get around and we didn't spend so much time in the apartment. Comfy beds though!
Good location, close to underground station. Not good equipped for 4 persons (small table, old air mattress).

Who am I: I am a 22 year old college student who is going after a BBA in Information Systems while at the same time pursing an AAS in Information Security. Unlike most people, my interest in Infosec didn't start until a year ago and have found myself trying to play catch up with the rest of the industry ever since.
Current Goals: Right now, my current goal is to set up a laptop pen testing lab where i can toy with programs without fear of screwing up my gaming PC (After i get my laptop, I'll see about converting my gaming PC into a GPU powered password cracking machine). During this time, I'm trying to learn the basics of Ruby, Python, and Javascript (in that order) along with the basics of TCP/IP and Hacking platforms such as Metasploit.
Beyond that, I'll see about adding more stuff to my pen testing lab beyond just the laptop with VMs. Thomas Wilhelm's Rant opened my eyes a bit and i found myself agree with him that i invest more in my lab if i want to get more out of it.
Specialization: Ideally, i want to go into Pen Testing but Computer Forensics has also sparked my interest along with Malware Analyzing so it depends if my interests involve fishing for files that no one wants to see (but it's your job to find) or to be building exploits.
Future Possible Projects: Lately, I've been looking a the Prey anti-thief software. Now, this program is all great and good but the problem is that a thief could steal a computer, reformat the hard drive and you lose your tracking. I've been toying with the idea of combining a rootkit into the BIOs of the computer so if the hard drive gets wiped, you can still track them. Any ideas or resources that can help me with this would be appreciated.
Now on to the cert path:
My AAS degree has aligned it's self with the CompTIA certs (A+,Network+,Security+) along with some basic Cisco knowlage (the CCNA is offered at this school but it is in a different program so I'll have to pick that up later) so it should give me the basic knowledge for the more advanced certs.
beyond that, I'm stuck at a bit of a crossroads.
I've heard mixed results about the C|EH (it's a cert that HR wants but most infosec people dismiss it). likewise, i've heard good things about the eCCPT (provides lots of actual experience but HR doesn't like it).
Regardless of the middle level certifications, I eventually want to obtain the OSCP and proceed to get a CISSP shortly after.
So anyways, there's my story and hope to see you around the forums.

Unknown gunmen shoot, injure Somali journalist
New York, March 26, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns Sunday's shooting of radio journalist Mohyadin Hassan Mohamed in the capital, Mogadishu, and calls on authorities to ensure his safety.
Two unknown gunmen opened fire on Mohamed, the news director of Shabelle Media Network's radio station, as he walked home from work at around 6 p.m., news reports said. The journalist told CPJ that he ran after the gunmen began shooting at him, and that one bullet grazed his chest.

- Farm-to-Table Country Breakfast for Two
- Homemade Soup and Accompaniments in the Evening
Heading out west for a mountain getaway can be tough when you've only got a few days to spare. Instead of scrapping your plans, look closer to home in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, where you can Escape to the Filbert Bed & Breakfast.
This Victorian-era farmhouse was built in the foothills of the Blue Mountains—at the northern edge of the Lehigh Valley and the southern edge of the Poconos—during the early 19th century. It was lovingly restored in 2002 with faithful attention to its past character, welcoming guests with old-fashioned warmth and hospitality.
Guest suites at the Filbert are individually decorated with gracious antique furnishings, queen-size beds, and original touches like hardwood flooring and floral wallpaper. Private bathrooms, televisions, and wireless Internet access ensure you won't have to compromise modern conveniences.
Though the Lehigh Valley brims with plenty of outdoor adventure all year round, winter brings a magical blanket of snow to delight the skiing set. Less than two miles away lies Blue Mountain Ski Area and its 39 trails, six terrain parks, and 21 tubing slides. Inquire at the Filbert—the closest lodging to the mountain—for discounted lift tickets.
When you're in need of a little sustenance, the bed and breakfast serves a fresh, farm-to-table country breakfast each morning and homemade soup to warm you up each night. Massage therapy is also available. See? There's no need to fly across the country to reach the mountains. Those peaks are just around the corner with this Escape to the Filbert Bed & Breakfast.
"The historic inn is modernized for comfort and filled with authenticity. The B&B is in a small town but is convenient to quite a variety of activities, making for a full and wonderful long weekend for us. We also loved Kathy's multi-course breakfast."-- iLoveInns

These six expert shop tips simplify and speed up sanding, gluing, cross cutting, drawing and measuring lines, making repetitive cuts and other common shop problems. They'll make your shopwork more enjoyable too.
Glue four blocks and cork pads to a sheet of sandpaper. Then cut the sandpaper with a utility knife.
Foam sanding sponges are a great invention. They excel at sanding curved surfaces or drywall-taped inside corners, but they're a bit expensive and not practical for sanding large, flat surfaces. Make your own reusable sanding blocks for much less. Here's how:
Cut six blocks from scrap 3/4-in. plywood for each sandpaper grit you commonly use. Make them 2-1/2 in. x 4-3/4 in. Spray adhesive on both a square of cork tile and 10 of the blocks. (Buy a package of four 12-in. cork tiles at a home center.) Stick 10 of the blocks to the cork and cut the cork flush with a utility knife. Then spray adhesive on a sheet of sandpaper and stick on six of the blocks cork side down as shown. Cut the sandpaper flush with the cork, and label the blocks.
When you wear out all six of a set of sanding blocks, soften the adhesive with a hair dryer, peel off the old sandpaper and apply new.
Clamp a stop block to the table saw fence just short of where the cutoff stock first meets the blade. Then you can make crosscuts without binding the cutoff.
Here's an old tip that's worth repeating. When you're crosscutting on a table saw, set the cut length with a block clamped to the fence. Don't ever use the fence directly. That's a good way to get a board kicked back right at you. Ruptured organs and broken rib—or worse—are a very real possibility.
Instead, clamp a block of wood to the fence before the blade. Then the end of the board will be free of the fence during and after the cut. If you make a block that's exactly 1 in. thick, you can set the fence scale at 1 in. greater than the length you're after. No tricky fractions involved.
Screw the stair gauges to your framing square and hold it against your board to make right angle cuts.
Stair gauges are designed to clamp to the edge of a framing square.
Stair gauges are usually used to lay out stair jacks. You clamp them to a carpenter's square to match the rise and run of a stair jack and then mark the notches. But if you put them both on the same tongue of a carpenter's square, the combination makes a great crosscut guide for circular saws. Pick up a pair for less than $5 at any hardware store or home center. Clamp the square in place so it won't slide around while you're cutting. You wouldn't like that one bit.
Apply masking tape over the joint and then cut it so that the edge of each board is protected from excess glue.
To prevent stains caused by oozing glue along joints, clamp the pieces together without glue. Put tape on the joint, then cut along it with a sharp blade. Separate the pieces, apply the glue and clamp them together again. The glue will ooze onto the tape, not the wood. Peel off the tape before the glue dries.
Measuring and marking layouts on boards goes faster and easier with a drafting square.
When you need an accurate square in the 2- to 3-ft. range, your options are limited. Drywall squares are notoriously inaccurate and cumbersome. Carpenter squares involve that nagging hassle of having to hook them onto the edge of your workpiece. If you have a drafting square lying around, drag it out to the shop. Or, go to an art supply store and pick one up. They're very accurate and you'll find yourself grabbing it nearly as often as you do the tape measure.
Squeeze a dab of hot glue on a pedestal stick and quickly press the workpiece into the glue.
Shape the workpiece as needed. Then snap it off the pedestal.
When you have to cut, shape, file, sand or finish something small, reach for your hot glue gun and glue the piece to a pedestal stick. The hot glue will hold just about anything as well as or better than any clamp ever could—if using a clamp is even possible. When your project is complete, try to pop it loose with a putty knife, but don't use too much force—you might tear out the wood or break the piece.
You have two options for breaking the grip: cold and heat. First, try sticking the workpiece into the freezer for an hour or so. Frozen glue will usually give way with very little force. If that doesn't work, try a hair dryer to soften the glue. Still stuck? Reach for the heat gun. But warm the piece slowly and from a distance to avoid scorching the wood or damaging the finish.

As police seize Newsnight laptop, concerns grow at reach of UK counter-terrorism measures
For journalists investigating jihadist networks, the UK is proving to be no safe haven. British police used special powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 in August to seize the laptop of Secunder Kermani, a reporter for BBC Two's flagship news show "Newsnight," according to reports. "They required the BBC to hand over communication between the BBC journalist and a man in Syria who publicly identified himself as an [Islamic State] member," BBC spokeswoman said today.

i'm posting this up now to remind me to do more later.
i just got a new jet pack... a ruffkintoys fiberglass one to be specific.
here's what it looked like out of the box. the perspective is a bit off since it was leaning back a bit. the photo makes the rocket look small, but that's not the case.
the first thing i did was cut an access panel in the back of the pack. i left a 1" lip on the recessed area to attach a cover later. this will let me get into the pack to install the LED beacon's batter pack and such.
then i painted it silver. i didn't take any pictures of this step alone because... well... it was silver. i think we've all seen a silver jet pack.
i'll be mixing topical and layered weathering. masked layers for the big areas, and topical for the smaller stuff, with a bit of exacto slicing here and there for good measure.
last night i traced out the major battle damage, and latex masked the areas where i want silver to come through the yellow. in keeping with my tradition, i'm using spray cans for all of the major painting. i will probably resort to airbrush for some weathering, but the bulk will still be rattlecans. i got a pretty nice yellow from home depot the other day:
rustoleum striping yellow #2548
it's an inverted can with a strange sprayer designed for a floor striping machine. i popped that sprayer nozzle out and replaced it with one from another can. i still had to paint with the can upside down, but i'm really happy with the color. i'll post photos later tonight. i know the color shifts a bit when it dries, so i wanted the final look.
i'll also lay down at least more color tonight... i'm thinking i might try to get the white and the blue done. i don't think i'll have time to get the red on there.

WILE – More than 65 Years of Radio!
On April 9th, 1948, WILE went on the air with a moment of prayer and the sounds of "Beautiful Ohio." At that time WILE's studios were at 917 Beatty Avenue. The station would come on the air at 6:30 each morning and go off the air at seven each evening.
In those early days, WILE was owned by Land O'Lakes Broadcasting Corporation. Names you would have associated with the company were Howard Donahoe as General Manager and Vice-President, Richard Rose, John Russell, Wesley Randles, Dean Archer, Albert Engle, Howard White, William Montgomery, Thelma Peterson, Hilda Shafer, Joan Ferguson, Helen Sidlo, Dave Lorimer, and B.J. Hazelwood – that was the original staff. People weren't sure in 1948 whether Cambridge would support both a radio station and a newspaper. But WILE got a boost because that was the Sesquicentennial, or 150th birthday, of Guernsey County. In 1967, the Cloverleaf Broadcasting Company secured the business and Bill Coffey, who was announcer at the station, became general manager.
The station was sold again in 1983, to AVC Communications and it is part of a group of six radio stations serving this part of southeastern Ohio.

On with my problems(if you can call it that). You see I'm quite new with GLSL and I was following an example for deferred rendering found here:
http://ogldev.atspac...tutorial35.html. The only problem is ( for me) that he is using a library called GLFX to complile shaders. This shader source in the project is both vertex shader and fragment in one file called geometry_pass.glsl:
struct VertexInput { vec3 Position; vec2 TexCoord; vec3 Normal; }; interface VertexOutput { vec3 WorldPos; vec2 TexCoord; vec3 Normal; }; uniform mat4 MVP; uniform mat4 WV; shader VSmain(in VertexInput VSin:0, out VertexOutput VSout) { gl_Position = MVP * vec4(VSin.Position, 1.0); VSout.TexCoord = VSin.TexCoord; VSout.Normal = (WV * vec4(VSin.Normal, 0.0)).xyz; VSout.WorldPos = (WV * vec4(VSin.Position, 1.0)).xyz; }; struct FSOutput { vec3 WorldPos; vec3 Diffuse; vec3 Normal; vec3 TexCoord; }; uniform sampler2D gColorMap; shader FSmain(in VertexOutput FSin, out FSOutput FSout) { FSout.WorldPos = FSin.WorldPos; FSout.Diffuse = texture(gColorMap, FSin.TexCoord).xyz; FSout.Normal = normalize(FSin.Normal); FSout.TexCoord = vec3(FSin.TexCoord, 0.0); }; program GeometryPass { vs(410)=VSmain(); fs(410)=FSmain(); };
My problem is that I need to have a vertex shader and fragment shader seperated: For example geometry_pass.vert and geometry_pass.frag.
I think I've fixed the vertex shader(not really sure) it compiles fine.
#version 150 core uniform mat4 MVP; uniform mat4 WV; in vec3 in_Position; in vec2 in_TexCoord; in vec3 in_Normal; out vec3 WorldPos; out vec2 pass_TexCoord; out vec3 pass_Normal; void main() { gl_Position = MVP * vec4(in_Position,1.0); pass_TexCoord = in_TexCoord; pass_Normal = (WV * vec4(in_Normal, 0.0)).xyz; WorldPos = (WV * vec4(in_Position,1.0)).xyz; };
When I'm trying to pass the texcoords or normals to fragment I get naming conflicts and such, although I was under the impression that passing an attribute from vertex to fragment shader requires the same name. Can anyone please help me with the spliting of the file into two shaders or explain me what I may be doing wrong? Sorry I'm quite new to glsl and I'm reading thought materials and books and the information is just too overwelming .
And something else, is it possible to pass structs(blocks) from vertex to fragment shader?
Thank you very much.

Charges filed against man who made Fulton school threat
Ryan Scott Bazer, 38, wanted for threats that caused 3 Fulton schools to lock down
FULTON, Mo. - Charges have been filed against a man whose threats caused several Fulton schools to go on lockdown earlier this week.
Callaway County prosecutors charged Ryan Scott Bazer, 38, with felony making a terrorist threat.
On Wednesday, authorities said Bazer called a woman with whom he had had a relationship, and said he would bomb the Fulton High School and a school bus. Those threats prompted the high school as well as Bush and Bartley elementary schools to go on lockdown.
Although Bazer is still on the run, his bond has been set at $20,000. A judge has signed a warrant for Bazer's arrest.
Fulton police say Bazer is no longer in the area, but could be en route to North Dakota or Iowa. He also has ties to Florida.

Letter to the Secretary
October 30, 1996
Honorable Richard W. Riley
Secretary of Education
Washington, DC 20202
Dear Mr. Secretary:
I am pleased to submit this Semiannual Report on the activities of the Department's Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the six-month period ending September 30, 1996. Submission of this report is in accordance with section 5 of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-452, as amended). The Act requires that you transmit this report, along with any comments you may wish to make, to the appropriate Congressional committees and subcommittees.
In the course of the last several months, the OIG has undertaken or completed significant initiatives that have helped Department managers both identify and address issues whose successful resolution is critical to the Department's fiscal and management integrity. These initiatives have benefited from the active cooperation and assistance of ED managers, which evinces a strong commitment on their part to the efficient, effective and equitable administration of Federal edu- cation programs and activities.
I look forward to continued progress on these and other critical issues as together we work to achieve our mutually reinforcing goals of educational excellence and equality of educational opportunity for the nation's learners, and program efficiency, effectiveness and integrity for the nation's learners and taxpayers.
Thomas R. Bloom

It was a hot afternoon, and as we walked around town the heat got to us. There were some very beautiful buildings in the main square - especially the "House of Blackheads" and the town hall, but in general most of Riga old town felt cramped. Many of the beautiful buildings or churches were obstructed by other nearby buildings, so to stand back and admire the scene was a bit challenging. Still what we could see was quite beautiful.
To beat the heat we did as any sane person would do - get ice cream
The next morning we headed for the main square again - of course for the view, but more importantly to go to the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, as we had cut short the museum in Estonia, and wanted to understand more about the recent history of the baltic countries. This was a great museum - it gave history on Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and covered the occupation by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Occupations. It was very informative and interesting and we were shocked by how little we knew about what went on in these countries. They have struggled by both oppressive occupations and had also suffered the same "cleansing" of the Jewish population by the Nazi's as many other European countries (which was much more widespread and affected many more countries that we had previously known).
This took up the better part of the morning, if not day, and after lunch and some strong coffee, we headed up to St. Peter's church with its viewing tower 72m above the town. Luckily for Christie, this one had a lift, and we took it to the top ready for the view over the city.
We spent the rest of our time (including the next day) taking in the sights of the town - various churches, buildings with notable architecture and parks and monuments. We then decided to do a day trip to one of the towns outside Riga. We picked Sigulda a few hours north, and decided to catch the train there the next day
The train to Sigulda was a good choice. The scenery was beautiful along the way. We passed beautiful woodlands and got to see a slice of local life on the trains.
Arriving in Sigulda, we searched for a place for lunch - it was indeed a much smaller town, nothing like the big city feel of Riga. We found a buffet place that looked good, and picked out several dishes, not having a clue what it was worth. At the end, Glenn realised that each little choice of this and that soon added up... ooops. It was a bit expensive paying for each little bit, but it was a really nice meal.
Needing to walk off our full stomachs, we walked to the local bobsled track (yes, Glenn's choice). This was a winter track used for ice bobsledding! Cool! But on arriving, it was closed, and Glenn was disappointed. It looked really fun! They had summer carts with wheels, but it was only open weekends.
So off we went, Christie dragging a moping Glenn along. We walked a fair way to arrive at the Sigulda Castle - this was a relatively new castle (or restored), but nearby were the ruins of a "knights of the order" castle... quite impressive considering how long they have been standing, even though there was not much remaining.
We continued on and approached a cable car which took passengers up over the river and high up to some more ruins on the other side. Christie had been a bit shaken after the cable cars in china (swaying in the winds), so we opted to walk down through the valley and cross the bridge and climb up the other side..
The walk was good, through some beautiful forest, and arriving at the bridge there was quite a view over the river. On the bridge, there were locks with people's names engraved - "lovers locks", a little similar to what Glenn had seen in China up Hua Shan Mountain. Taking photos of the locks, some people below enjoying the sunshine started covering up... perhaps thinking that we were photographing them!!! Hehehehe.
Over the bridge, it was not really that clear where to go, even though it was sign posted. We wandered along for a while, before deciding to climb up a set of stairs that was probably the steepest way up the mountain. The climb up was tough. This led to various lookouts which were overgrown, but the forest was enough to please - it was such a peaceful walk. The correct path was not all that obvious, but using a little commonsense (where did that come from?) we eventually found the way towards the castle that is supposed to be the big tourist attraction. Passing people's properties, feeling like we were walking through their backyards, we came out at the Turaidas castle (museum).
These were on huge grounds, which had been landscaped and well looked after. The castle was being reconstructed, and quite a lot had already been reconstructed. There were exhibits in the various chambers of the castle. All the while, we were watching the time, as we had walked a few hours from the train station, and the next local bus back was due soon. Still, Glenn decided that he HAD to climb the turret of the castle for the grand view... except, in the process there were queues inside the tight spiral staircase up the five stories
Making our way back quickly through the grounds... sure enough the bus had gone... and now we had an hour to sit and wait for the next one.... thanks Glenn! After twiddling our thumbs for an hour, the next bus came, and jumping out at the train station... there were no more trains! So we raced over to the bus station where a bus to Riga was about to leave. We each got the last seats (at opposite ends of the bus) while a few more people that got on after us had to stand... it was a long trip back to Riga, so we were lucky!
Back at the hotel, we had to pack... it was an early start the next day... off to the next country - Lithuania!


text: I like the drunkard's path and the border, but the part that would bother me is the light of the drunkard's path looks like a very stark white and the border fabric looks like it has off white or even tan. I think I would find something that has the white/white in it. I think it would look nice as someone mentioned, a plaid that might pull in a complimentary color.

text: I went to check my 24 hour old grafts today to find 1 out of 42 accepted. I looked closer and I found new eggs in my cell builder then there she was. When I made my cell builder I found one queen and placed her on a frame and put it aside. I assumed she was the only one. then I shook bees into the top super with a cloake board in between. Usually I go back after cells are accepted and pull the slide and then its a finisher. So I guess this hive overwintered two queens. I haven't noticed any supersedure cells in this hive or anything to make me think she is a new queen. How common is two overwintered queens in the same hive? Also a side note this has been my best hive for two years running I wonder how much of that time it has had two queens? Could that be a genetic trait or just something that happens from time to time. Anyone with experience on the subject.

Zac Posen Spring 2012
"Paris gave me perspective on who I could be as a designer here in America," said Zac Posen, who brought his show to Lincoln Center after two seasons on the Paris schedule. "You know, instead of searching, just coming back to myself. That's what it taught me."
Posen deserves credit for going to Paris in the first place, putting himself and his work in a foreign and highly competitive environment, more than 3,000 miles from his Tribeca studio. He dreamt big and though it didn't work out as he had hoped, if it gave him the confidence and encouragement to trust his talents and not try so hard to force a sharp, over-the-top opulence even when it feels out of step with the bigger fashion message, then it was worth the trip.
His spring collection was still extremely glamorous, mind you, but it felt stronger, more coherent for its relative simplicity. A blue-and-lavender short-sleeve dress with a fluttering skirt was beautifully restrained, as was a diaphanous off-the-shoulder ice-blue cocktail frock—both free of the kind of outrageous add-ons or unnecessary flourishes Posen can sometimes fall prey to.
The collection was absent of the more casual daywear Posen played with in seasons past, which let him focus on evening. A glittering midnight-blue look with a crisscross bodice and ball skirt was refreshingly reminiscent of Posen's talent for flattering the female form; a celadon version with a short skirt laser-cut like a flip book of chiffon was less figure-friendly.
From another designer, the continuous parade of cascading tulle trains and Dovima-esque shapes would have felt one-note. But it was a good move for Posen. Sometimes in order to move forward you have to go back to the beginning.

Exercise Works Better if You Believe It Will
ACE Fit Share
Manufacturer: Fitbit
Price Range: $99.00 - $110.00
The Fitbit is an electronic accelerometer that clips onto clothing and tracks calories burned, steps, distance and sleep quality. Using a 3D motion sensor similar to the Nintendo Wii, this information is wirelessly uploaded to Fitbit.com, where users can track activity levels, set goals, log food intake and compete with other users. The purchase price includes the Fitbit tracker, wireless base station, software and access to the web-based tracking system where data is analyzed and stored.
The Fitbit was named the "best of innovations" in the Health and Wellness category for the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show. Launching publicly in October of 2009, the Fitbit was already in such high-demand that products were on back-order from the number of preorders. At the time of this review, the item is still in backorder status and the manufacturer states that they are currenly filling pre-orders and new orders will start shipping in approximately three weeks.
The Fitbit includes an electronic tracker (an accelerometer), base station/charger, holster and sleep wristband. Data collected by the tracker is uploaded to Fitbit.com and the information is analyzed and stored free of charge.
For some people, jumping on the scale every morning (or checking the fit of a certain pair of jeans) is enough to confirm when they have been overindulging and either need to step up their activity level or watch their diet a little more closely. Others prefer a more structured approach and may keep a food or activity journal, which is one of the most often recommended tips for losing or maintaining weight. The Fitbit will definitely appeal to this second group by eliminating a lot of the guess work and analyzing the data for you.
The Fitbit is essentially an accelerometer that can track your steps, distance, calories burned and, in an unexpected twist, your sleep quality. The tracker is about the size of a Bluetooth device and clips on to your waist during the day and to a wristband while you sleep at night. A base station that plugs into your computer doubles as a charger, and the battery life of the device is estimated at 10 days. A blue display on the tracker itself reveals steps, mileage and calories burned for easy reference throughout the day. Users can either upload the information daily by simply passing by the base station, or detailed data can be stored on the tracker itself for up to seven days and generalized data can be stored for 30 days. The Fitbit website verifies the accuracy of the device's ability to track steps, although it can be fooled by activity such as a restless leg movement. Additionally, the device is designed to track walking and running, and is not appropriate for cycling or many other aerobic activities. Calories burned included an estimated resting metabolic rate based on the users weight and age.
The sleep tracking feature, which is triggered by pressing down on the control button for two seconds when going to bed and again when arising, certainly sets this device apart from most other electronic pedometers on the market. It is interesting, particularly for those who are restless sleepers, to see how long it takes to fall asleep and how many times per night you may be waking up. Total sleep time is also tracked and an overall efficiency rating is provided.
The Fitbit website is easy to navigate and includes numerous features that can either be enlightening or a waste of time, depending on your dedication to tracking your activity and intake levels. There is definitely the danger of becoming a bit obsessive about tracking and comparing data from day to day, and the food log is particularly time consuming. While it is easy to record basic foods, inputting combination or homemade meals is a chore. Additionally, although meals are analyzed by fat, protein and carbohydrate content, it does not offer percentages. For example, if you are trying to keep your fat intake to less than 30% of your total calories, you'll have to do that calculation on your own. The website offers additional features, including the ability to monitor weight-loss goals and compete with other Fitbit users.
One of the greatest benefits of the Fitbit compared to other pedometers is the free website access. Although the Fitbit is not cheap (retail price is $99), other trackers charge monthly service fees to maintain information on their websites, which could be a deterrent to many users who could benefit from monitoring their activity levels. However, those who simply want to increase their daily activity levels could probably make do with a significantly less expensive pedometer.

Every time homicide detective Patty Batts opens a cabinet near her desk in San Pedro, she sees Eva's Bible.
"It sits here every day," Batts said. "I can't bring myself to do anything else with it. It's my constant reminder that this poor woman doesn't have anybody else speaking for her."
Monday will mark one year since Batts started her search for the killer who stabbed 60-year-old Eva Tice to death as she walked home from her San Pedro church on Christmas Eve. Tice, who had a mental capacity that ranged from a 6-year-old child to a teenager, died on a Pacific Avenue sidewalk, her Bible on the ground at her side.
Tice's death remains unsolved. Following their church service Monday, Hope Chapel San Pedro members are planning a candlelight march to pray at the site where Tice died.
"There is a lot of anger over it," said Becky Aldape, administrative assistant at the Ninth Street church. "It could happen to anybody, but her of all people? Everybody is still upset that nobody has been caught. She was just a wonderful lady. She was like a child inside, really."
Her Bible in hand, Tice had walked from her apartment on 12 th Street for the 6 p.m. Christmas Eve service.
"I remember during that day she was looking forward to the Christmas play," friend Joe Baroni said. "Eva was sitting right in front of me. She was all happy."
Tice, a ward of the state since her parents were killed in a car crash when she was a young child, left the church quickly. Her roommate's sister had presented her with a coloring book and crayons for Christmas and she could not wait to get home to color.
"There were people trying to give her a ride home," Aldape said. "She didn't want any delays, which is why she didn't want the rides."
Police do not know what happened. The 4-foot-11-inch woman walked along Pacific Avenue from Ninth Street. Someone stabbed her between 11 th and 12 th streets. Residents found Tice moaning on the sidewalk, covered with blood. She had been stabbed multiple times.
"It was a really brutal, brutal crime," Baroni said. "She was harmless. She was literally harmless."
If the motive was robbery, Tice had little to offer. Earlier in the day at a swap meet in the church parking lot, Baroni bought her a chicken tamale and a soda for lunch. She had $1 on her and borrowed another from Baroni to buy a costume jewelry ring. If she was wearing the ring, it was worthless.
"I can't comprehend how a person can do that to another person - just to go up and brutally murder her," Baroni said.
The Los Angeles City Council has offered a $50,000 reward for information that would help detectives solve the slaying. Every once in a while, someone arrested in another case offers detectives information in search of a deal, but so far nothing has panned out, Batts said.
Baroni believes someone other than the killer knows something.
"It must be a real savage person to stab a little old (mentally disabled) lady to death," he said. "That person isn't incarcerated. That person is still out there and could still kill another person."
Police ask that anyone with information call Los Angeles police Harbor Area detectives at 310-726-7889.

In this "I Can Do That" column, we introduce the use of pegs instead of hardware to hold the project together.
This simple shoe rack uses five pieces of 2″ x 2″ x 36″ poplar (which is actually 1 1/2″ square) for the uprights, feet and rails; six 5/8″ x 48″ poplar dowels for the crossbars; and one 3/8″ x 48″ poplar dowel for the pegs.
A good lesson when working with dowels is that not all of them are created equal. Before you start, measure your dowel diameters then select the drill bit to match the smallest one. (Although I bought 5/8″ dowels, three of them were actually closer to 9/16″.)
First, cut the crossbars to length. I decided on a 36″ span, long enough to hold five pairs of women's dress shoes. With six dowels to cut to the same length, measure and mark one, then set up a stop-block on the miter-saw fence and cut each to 38″. The additional 2″ is to seat the dowels 1″ at both ends in the uprights.
While at the miter saw, cut your two 12″ feet and two 5″ rails – again, with a stop-block. Then, pencil a line on the right-hand side of your fence at 2 1/2″, and cut 16 2 1/2″ pegs from the 3/8″ dowel (only 12 are needed, but extra is never bad). Holding the dowel in place against the fence on the left side and cutting these short pieces to the right side of the blade keeps your hands safely away from the blade. Once your pegs are cut, slightly taper one end on each a bit to make them easier to drive into place. An old-fashioned pencil sharpener on its largest setting works well for this task.
The uprights are 36″ in length so no cutting is needed on these.
Next, align the two feet and clamp them together to lay out the locations of the four uprights and the dowels to join them. First, measure 2″ from either end and use a combination square to mark a line across both pieces; then measure 1 1/2″ from those marks and strike another line across both pieces. Mark a diagonal line from corner to corner of the resulting squares on each foot. I eyeballed the placement (along the diagonal line) for each of the four 3/8″ pegs that are driven through each foot to seat into the bottom ends of the uprights.

|I must confess, I was a little timid about starting out on this one, based on the various comments on how bad the trail was. I can honestly say this was the easiest and most pleasant scramble I did all year. The trail was very well defined and easy to follow all the way to 4600' (where it is no longer necessary), and at no point did it seem dangerous (remember, it is a climber's path, not a Forest Service trail). The most important thing is to find the correct place to start up a dirt ramp (N48 04.600 W121 21.665 - plenty of flagging here) to get around the large rock toe (base is at N48 04.609 W121 21.636). In-step crampons were helpful to cross two short (but very icy) snow fingers on the traverse north of the summit. Other than that, great mountain, great views - I will be back. 2hr 45min up/2hrs down.

|Hit solid snow at 4,500'. Snow conditions were great, got to 6,350' at 8:45PM. It was here on our last ascent to the peak, a large, fast moving storm out of the south brought winds, snow and thunder/lighting. We retreated to cover as dense fog came into the timber, we lost the hard to follow trail and were forced to camp in a dry cave for the night. Walked out by compass in the early morning light. We will be back.

Reviews of this property
We enjoyed our stay in Prag. The flat was nice but small. Its really silent. What I consider not so good was that the 'kitchen' does not include the possibility to cook (its just a microwave).
The room was nice cosy and clean. Everything you need is there, microwave, Koffie - machine and a good private bathroom. Great reception from you max! Eating in Prague is nice and cheap so there was no need to cook for ourselves.
We had a great time in Prague and we would like to visite Prague again some time in the future.
We strongly recommend this nice appartement.
Apartment was really nice and clean. Everything was well arrenged and the host was helpful and friendly. I can recommend the apartment and could visit again.
Everything was great! The room is beautiful and we have been welcomed very kind. It´s very close to the centre of Prague, you can go there on foot. We really liked it there and want to recommend it!

Hi all,
A little over 2.5 wks ago we hived our first package of bees. Brood rearing is coming along nicely; however, we have noticed some brood cells that appear to be queen cells. They are low on the frame and stand about 0.25 in. taller than the other capped brood cells. From what I have read these appear to be located where swarm cells would be.
Assuming these are queen cells/swarm cells: should we destroy them? If so, what is the "normal" proceedure for doing this?

MANUFACTURER: Nikon
Review This Item
Designed with ultra rugged recoil-proof construction, an ideal power range and Nikon's legendary optics, the NIKON Force XR 2.5-8x28 Pistol Scope, BDC Reticle, Silver (8469) will satisfy all the needs of the most demanding handgun hunters, varminters and competitors. This model scope will hold up to the strongest recoil (field tested against the S&W 500).
The Force XR pistol scope features a versatile magnification range, which provides outstanding flexibility for up-close shots as well as long-range shots; and quick focus eyepiece, which allows the shooter to instantly bring the reticle into sharp focus.
Nikon has engineered the entire optical system to provide the shooter with a bright, sharp, incredibly flat sight picture and light transmission up to its theoretical maximum - 95%.
Patented BDC reticle allows hunters to hold "dead-on" at ranges exceeding those previously thought possible. The BDC's unique see-through ballistic circles offer an incredible advantage for long range shooting - yet allow a normal sight picture for shorter-range shots where the crosshair itself is the aiming point.
In addition, the Force XR scope is waterproof, fogproof as well as shockproof. It is covered by Nikon's Full Lifetime Warranty.

HAPPY AND GLORIOUS! - Monday, 20 May 2013
Head to the Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson this May half-term and join celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of HM Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation.
Hear the Victorian fort ring to the power and might of a spectacular 21-gun salute at 1pm on Sunday, June 2, in honour of Her Majesty.
Britain's oldest public museum is staging a series of fun-packed family days throughout half-term week (Monday, May 27 to Sunday, June 2) – including a street party in Café 1871. Children are encouraged to dress in red, white and blue to receive a free treat.
Museum admission is free but a small charge applies to some activities. The programme runs as follows:
Punch and Judy Shows – enjoy this traditional family-style entertainment. Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Craft activities, Royal Trail and Balloons – a chance for children to make their own crowns and explore the Royal Trail – and learn about kings and queens from long ago. Daily.
Tours of the Fort's Victorian Tunnels – join the uniformed Portsdown Artillery Volunteers, for special tours of the underground tunnels and ammunition store on Saturday.
Scouts' Campfire and Activities – Join us for a rousing sing-along on Sunday.
Children's face-painting sessions – 11am to 4pm, Wednesday and Sunday
Fort operations manager Nigel Hosier said, "We marked The Queen's Diamond Jubilee last year with a 21-gun salute, and it was extremely popular with our visitors – so we are delighted to be able to do the same for the 60th anniversary of the Coronation. Portsmouth and the surrounding area has a proud tradition for serving Queen and Country, and it's only fitting that we are marking the occasion in time-honoured style."
Fort Nelson is home to the national collection of artillery – the big guns. For more information about Royal Armouries, visit www.royalarmouries.org
