No discussions between Blago and Obama? Maybe
posted at 11:36 am on December 10, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama tried to distance himself from Governor Rod Blagojevich after his arrest on corruption charges related to his pending appointment to Obama's now-vacant Senate seat. Obama himself said that he had had no contact with Blagojevich about the open seat and had no awareness of Blagojevich's attempts to sell it to the highest bidder. Even after Jake Tapper pointed out that Obama's right-hand man, David Axelrod, claimed that Obama and Blagojevich had been in contact, Team Obama issued a denial.
So how do they explain this contemporaneous report from KHQA (via Gateway Pundit)?
Ill. governor meeting with Obama today
By Carol Sowers
Wednesday, November 05, 2008 at 10:39 a.m.
CHICAGO, ILL. — Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.
That's one of Obama's first priorities today.
He's meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it.
Jim also has a press release from Blagojevich's office, but it doesn't explicitly discuss any meeting with Barack Obama in the same manner as KHQA's report. And a search of the two Chicago newspapers, which were in position to report on this story, shows that the KHQA report may not have been accurate. The Sun-Times reported on November 6th — the day after this report — that Blagojevich himself stated that he had no contact with Obama:
When it comes to filling the remaining two years of Obama's term, Blagojevich said he intends to turn over the vetting process for Obama's successor to several high-level staffers in his office whom he wouldn't name. The governor also said he intends to appoint someone no later than Jan. 1 and possibly before Christmas.
"I've never had more friends than I do today. And when I make the final decision, I won't have nearly as many as I have now," he said.
Saying he had no favorite candidate yet, Blagojevich said he has not spoken to Obama about the matter but would give "a great deal of weight" to the recommendations the president-elect might make.
The governor said some suitable Obama replacements included Senate President Emil Jones (D-Chicago), Veteran Affairs secretary Tammy Duckworth, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), U.S. Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.) and U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) but cautioned against "reading anything into" his naming of those people.
Blagojevich had no particular reason to obfuscate at that point. In fact, he'd have had more reason to brag, especially since it looks now like Blagojevich wanted to increase the commercial potential for the appointment. It appears that the KHQA report might have been mistaken, although it's certainly a good point to pursue if evidence appears of complicity on behalf of Obama or his staff in Blagojevich's shake-down attempts.
However, KHQA stuck with its reporting on November 8th (via Stop the ACLU):
Duckworth comments on consideration for Senate
By Alexis Hunt
Saturday, November 08, 2008 at 9:48 p.m.
QUINCY, IL — Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.
Obama met with Governor Rod Blagojevich earlier this week to discuss it. Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement. There's already been speculation about his selection…from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Junior to Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.
Stay tuned!
One last note: I'd say that these five candidates named by Blagojevich could get mixed-and-matched to Candidates 1-5 in the Fitzgerald affadavit. I bet Blagojevich wished he'd stuck to the idea of a committee selection process now, too.

7:00 PM Detroit Film Theatre
(USA/2012—directed by Rola Nashef)
Director Rola Nashef expands her award-winning short film for her feature-length debut, a spirited and engaging comedy-drama set in a small, family-owned inner-city gas station, where a budding romance encounters unexpected obstacles. Forced to take over the family business after the unexpected death of his father, a young Lebanese-American man named Sami (E.J. Assi) finds himself saddled with a lifestyle he never wanted, interfering with his plans for college and complicating his budding romance with a beautiful and very proper young woman (Nada Shouhayib). Exploring race relations, generational differences and economic problems with humanity and wit, Detroit Unleaded is a winningly modest landmark in a new wave of Arab-American filmmaking and one of the year's most welcome directorial debuts. Discovery Award, Toronto International Film Festival. (92 min.)

3/8 entrance for the last 6 years, year-round, reduced down to 2 inch last two years with fewer SHB
3/8 entrance for the last 6 years, year-round, reduced down to 2 inch last two years with fewer SHB
I must be the odd one as I use 3/4 all year round. 3/8 doesnt keep out mice for sure any self respecting mouse can chew there way in (metal mouse guards is the only way to go). I just feel the 3/4 entrance allow the hive to breathe a lil better. It might even allow for a little more traffic to come and go. I bet it doen't really matter in the end long as you use what you like.
I have a 3/4 in rim around my pallet bottom boards. It is because that was the size of the 1*4 I ripped down to make the rims.
I think the 3/4 is a bit more drafty that the smaller rimmed bottom boards, but an entrance reducer usually goes into place anyway
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
The original reverseable boards were intended to be use 3/8" side up in the summer, 3/4" side up in winter to allow for dead bees collecting in the hive on the bottom board as the dead ones fall out of the cluster in cold weather. A pile of wet, rotting dead bees could be a real problem in the spring, and it could take quite a bit of work to clear them away from a fairly small entrance. It's one thing to drag something out a hole, it's quite another to drag dead bees INTO the hive to clear the entrance.
The bees probably don't care how big the space under the frames is.
We use a patented "level-drain" bottom board, that is reversible, and always has a 3/4" opening. Entrance blocks are used in the spring, early summer, and early fall to restrict the size of the opening. In Fall, mouse guards are applied.
Crazy Roland
Roland, whats the level drain bottom board all about? Never heard of it.
Sorry to be different, my 4 way pallets have a 1/2" cleat that the bottom box rests on.
Honey Luv Farm
I still use bottom boards, but completely eliminated them as entrances, when I discovered the true extent that those bottom entrances exposed the bees to being consumed, en mass, by predators.
48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
Well I'm happy with the 3/4" opening in the bottom but I use a top entrance as well. As you can see by the pic I have mouse guards in place year round, they were made from corner bead I picked up at Home Depot. I'm trying to not have to put down so many skunks and coons this year. All hives are 24" off ground now.

A weapon from a more civilized time. It is essentially a beam of light focused through a crystal so pure that it gives the beam mass and It is able to cut through solid objects. If 2 lightsabers connect in a duel they will repel each other because all crystals are of the same composition even if they come from different regions of the universe. It is contained in the hilt created by the user or padawan as they are called and they are usually patterned after the padawan's master's hilt to show respect.

Lightsabers own.
by Willninja April 22, 2010
A Jedi Knights weapon of choice the Light Saber is less clumbsy than a blaster, and is more of a symbol of honor, and wisdom than a weapon. A Light Saber\'s color depends upon the type of crystal put into the hilt during its building, and the crystal really depends on the Jedi\'s personality, and their particular alliance. Jedi\'s (the good guys) usually have stoic colors or softer colors which give off a prescence of being good such as blue, green, yellow, purple, etc. The Sith (the bad guys) more or less stick with one dominant color that gives off a presence of evil, red, dark red, crimson, take your pick. In closing Light Sabers kick ass, and I wish the government would go public with their mass production of the powerful sabers....Oh come on, we all know that its true...
When Light Sabers are finally made in real life we will Ironically downgrade our fighting style to sword fighting while our weapons greatly upgrade technilogically....I hope.

The high tech weapon of choice for both Jedi and Sith. It is focused through a crystal which in some writings is said to have given the lightsaber its color instead of the force of the person. It defelcts shit, it chops shit, and is quite possibly only second to the miracle blades that cut tomatoes really good.

The lightsaber is the super-powered high frequency laser beam weapon of the Star Wars universe. It first appeared it Star Wars: A New Hope when Obi-Wan gave Luke Anakin's old lightsaber. It is possibly the most famous weapon in movies of the past century. Frequently children are spotted with rulers or sticks playing a lightsaber duel. Don't we all wish that we could instantaneously hack someone's limbs off, cut through any material, or threaten somebody's life? The amazing futuristic tool of the lightsaber has changed everybody's life, dreams, or imagination in some way.

Pictures would help.
From the markings you quote, it might even be a cheap Spanish copy of a S&W revolver. If that's correct, it may not be safe to shoot.
S&W made lots of revolvers to fit each kind of cartridge, but never made any to fit both. It wouldn't've been safe.
The .38 S&W cartridge is both shorter and larger in diameter than is the .38 Special. But if the pistol's cylinder is just barely long enough, and if it has been bored straight through rather than having been chambered for a specific cartridge, then .38 Special rounds will slide easily into the chambers of a .38 S&W cylinder. However, if you fire .38 Special cartridges in a bored-through .38 S&W chamber, you are just asking for a very destructive "KABOOM!" because the .38 Special is a more powerful round than is the .38 S&W.
Pictures. We need pictures. Make sure to show all of the markings on the gun, including inside the space in the frame into which the cylinder's "crane" fits.


text: National report on schools points to health crisis for children A new report released December 3 reveals compelling evidence of how polluted air inside and outside schools escalates health care costs, increases absenteeism, and reduces test scores. Produced by the National Coalition for Healthier Schools, Sick Schools 2009 - America's Continuing Environmental Health Crisis for Children, compiles peer reviewed studies from policy advocates in 20 states and the District of Columbia to make the case for healthy schools. The Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health – MassCOSH, a member of the national coalition, sees the report as a red flag that federal support is desperately needed for school modernization and repair. Tolle Graham, Healthy Schools Coordinator at MassCOSH, says "Local school districts and the Commonwealth cannot carry the full financial load needed to bring our schools up to 21st Century - and healthy standards. And in the meantime, more schools fall further into disrepair leaving few options for the children and staff who learn and work in these buildings." Anne Wass, president of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, agrees. "We believe that every student deserves a great public school - and that starts with the physical environment," says Wass. "Environmental hazards or bad air quality should never get in the way of a student's ability to learn and grow. As educators, we believe that all students and all staff deserve healthy and safe places to learn." The report shows that fully one-fifth of the nation's population spends its days in school buildings. It provides ample evidence that when these buildings have old roofs, antiquated heating and ventilation systems, and other structural problems, the health of people in the building suffers. The full report is available here: http://www.healthyschools.org/SICK_SCHOOLS_2009.pdf

Having the right machine makes all the difference. There are so many new wonderful machines , get the one that you want. Sounds like you have done your homework and are ready to make the leap. If $$$ is not standing in the way GO FOR IT!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Having the right machine makes all the difference. There are so many new wonderful machines , get the one that you want. Sounds like you have done your homework and are ready to make the leap. If $$$ is not standing in the way GO FOR IT!!
My theory is that I can only be as experienced as my machine enables me to be...so if you have outgrown your current machine, buy something that will allow you to expand your knowledge and experience. Remember to research customer service and support after the purchase as buying a dealer is just as important as buying the right machine for you.
go for it-Husqvarna also has that feature-love it for applique.
If you don't buy it you will wish you had it each time you sit down to sew. Do yourself a favor and buy it and have a very happy time using it. I bet you will be very happy you did.
If you can afford it and want it - and especially if your DH is for it - GO FOR IT! and enjoy every minute of owning it!
It sounds as if you are seriously worried about being greedy. Why not give an equal amount of money as the amount you will spend on the new machine to your church above and beyond your regular gifts = or give that amount to a non-profit charity and then get your machine.If this doesn't seem like the answer you are seekiing and if you still worry about the issue of greed, maybe you can donate time to charity causes of your choice. Perhaps it isn't the choice of spending on yourself that is bothering you, but the not giving of yourself in a personal way to others that is seeming selfish. Do some serious soul searching. While we seriously care, we board members can in no way give you answers to a serious question like the one you are asking.
DH doesn't know the cost of a new sewing machine no more then I know the cost of a new hunting rifle or power tool, or four wheeler or boat trailer. I don't ask or tell. LOL
Got fabric?
Then your feeling of being greedy is deeper than the worry of spending money.
The foot lifting feature will save a lot of stress on your neck and arm muscles if you are doing a lot of appliqué. See it's a medical necessity. Buy it and you may avoid arthritis.

text: New guy here and new to bees. I recently moved back to Georgia from Kentucky and I am researching bee keeping. I went and looked at some hives after work a few days ago to try to get some ideas. I am a do-it-yourself-er and want to build my own hive. We have a small pond (maybe 100 gallons) in our backyard and honey bees fly over through the woods behind the house to steal water. I'm hoping to have a hive built and catch a swarm in the spring. I found a place locally that sells then frames for less then 2$ each so I'm going to buy the frames and build the boxes. Any advice would be great. Also I'm in the statham/winder area. If there is anyone in the area that wouldn't mind teaching me sone I apreciate it. Thanks

Meg Whitman is not your typical Silicon Valley tycoon. Not only the rare woman in a largely male club, Whitman was neither a tech geek nor web-obsessed venture capitalist when she took the helm of eBay, then a small collectibles auction site, in 1998, and transformed it into one of the tech world's most admired success stories.
Growing up in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., Whitman graduated high school in three years before attending Princeton University. She earned her BA in economics in 1977 and continued to Harvard University for her MBA. After getting her start at Proctor and Gamble, Whitman cut her teeth as a consultant for Bain & Co. and then in various leadership positions at Disney, Stride Rite, Florists Transworld Delivery (FTD), and Hasbro.
Recruited by a headhunter in 1998, Whitman joined eBay when it had 30 employees and revenues of approximately $4 million. During her time as CEO, the company grew to approximately 15,000 employees and $8 billion in annual revenue by 2008. Whitman has received numerous awards and accolades for her work at eBay. On more than one occasion, she was named among the top five Most Powerful Women by Fortune Magazine and, in 2010, Harvard Business Review named her the eighth-best-performing CEO of the past decade.
In February 2009, Whitman announced her candidacy for Governor of California, becoming the third woman in a twenty-year period to run for the office. She won the Republican primary in 2010, but lost to Democrat Jerry Brown in the general election. In 2011, Whitman was named the President and CEO of Hewlett-Packard.

Security Consulting Services - What are the services we can offer?
After attaining some certifications and courses on Info Sec, I was asked by my boss about starting a security consulting division for our firm. So, the purpose of this post is to discuss the various services that a security consulting can offer like, pen testing, security awareness training etc. I would like request the security professionals of this web portal to guide us on this matter.
Also, is there any legal aspect that needs to be taken care before getting into security consulting?
Any guidance on preparing a Business Plan for the same would be of great help.

Approach for an encryption
while discussing with a colleague the idea came about the following encryption approach where I would like to hear your opinions about it.
Sensitive data could be encrypted by using some routine (e.g. xor; of course I knew that this offers none protection at all, but to pass the idea it's fine) which is used with a string chosen by the user. This string is nowhere stored, so it would not be possible to extract it somehow in the protected/ encrypted data with reverse engineering, DMA, etc.
When it is needed to decrypt the data (e.g. by booting an enrypted hdd) the user must enter the string which was chosen for encrypting it to receive the right data. If entering a wrong string the data still gets encrypted but with the supplied string and therefore resulting in garbage data.
Only attack point I came up with was with brute-forcing, but this should if chosen a strong encryption routine and string combo very time consuming, especially when you would have to reboot for every attempt.
Any thoughts on this? Is such a system already available or have I overlooked something (weakness)?
This was just an idea we came up with, however, as RSA etc. seems to be quite secure there wouldn't be really a need for this, just curious on other opinions.

Since the DSL speed on Bere Island is not the fastest, we will not have HD quality. But we are sure it will be adequate to allow viewers around the world to feel they are present at the retreat. Of course the talks will be on our YouTube channel later in the day.

Quotes of the day
posted at 7:41 pm on May 2, 2014 by Allahpundit
House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) said Friday at Hollywood's "Creativity Conference" in Washington that there is a "grand bargain" in the works on amnesty.
ABC News's Rick Klein Tweeted that Goodlatte told ABC reporter Jon Karl at the event that he is "still searching for 'grand bargain' on status of undocumented immigrants," and that Goodlatte does "believe it will happen."…
Goodlatte, however, would not predict during the interview when such amnesty legislation would pass. "My job isn't to predict when it's going to happen. My job is to build the consensus that we need to have immigration reform," Goodlatte said.
The signs of life for a revitalized push for an immigration overhaul are suddenly popping up everywhere:
Sen. Mike Lee, telling Fox News on Monday that "most members" of the Republican Conference in the House are actually "eager to pass some sort of immigration reform." The Utah Republican, one of the most visible spokesmen of the tea-party-wing of the party, cautioned that immigration legislation "needs to be broken up. It needs to be taken step by step. One step at a time."…
California Democrat Xavier Becerra, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, jumped on McMorris Rodgers' comments. "It's important to recognize the statement of House GOP Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers joining those in support of a vote in the House to fix our broken immigration system," he said Monday in a statement. "The more time Members of Congress spend with their constituents, the more they come to realize how truly important immigration reform is. … The time to vote is now."…
Galen Carey, vice president of government relations for the National Association of Evangelicals, told the Christian Post last week that members of the speaker's staff have assured him there would be an opportunity to take up immigration in June and July. Carey is part of a collection of more than 200 evangelicals from 25 states who plan a pro-immigration reform meeting in Washington on Tuesday.
"We have to man the watchtowers 24/7," said Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), referring to a feeling among hard-liners that House leaders will try to sneak through immigration measures…
"It is difficult to plan a specific course of action when the leadership keeps tossing out vague ways to give amnesty to illegal aliens," Brooks said. The sophomore lawmaker added: "When we see a specific plan from the House leadership, then those of us who favor American citizens first will have a better idea of where the leadership is specifically going and how we will specifically respond."…
These anti-immigration reform conservatives are now scouring House bills with renewed vigor, looking for provisions in legislative language that could potentially lead to a House-Senate immigration conference, King said. They're doing so despite repeated assurances from Boehner that House Republicans will not negotiate on the comprehensive Senate bill…
Asked about recent developments on immigration, Diaz-Balart said he now pegs the chances of immigration reform at about 45 percent, adding: "I think 15 [percent] is the highest I ever went before."
Sen. Ted Cruz gathered a group of House conservatives in his office Tuesday night, talking about immigration and House GOP leadership elections slated for after the midterm elections…
[Rep. Mo Brooks] said immigration — and new proposals being floated after Boehner mocked some of his members over the issue — was a major topic. Brooks said Boehner's comments were "astonishing" and that the Cruz group "naturally" discussed them.
Brooks said his view is that Republicans needed "more diversity" in leadership.
"Right now, we have the top four leaders in the House, none of them are from a Mitt Romney state; all of them are from an Obama state. That's not diversity. None of the four are from the conservative half of the GOP conference," he said.
A memo outlining the legislative agenda for Republicans in the House of Representatives lists replacement of President Barack Obama's healthcare law as a priority for the coming weeks but does not mention plans to tackle immigration reform.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor sent the memo to fellow Republicans as they returned from a two-week recess, employing a regular tool to help keep the party unified on its political message in the run-up to congressional elections in November…
Some immigration reform advocates say there is a very short window for passing any bills this year. If Congress doesn't vote on anything before the traditional August recess, the issue will become too politically charged ahead of the November 4 elections.
Over the past two decades, the United States has run an immigration policy that has substantially increased poverty in this country. Two-thirds of immigrant households—that is counting both immigrants and their U.S.-born children—from Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala live in poverty or near-poverty. Other Latin-American immigrant groups fare only a little less badly: more than 50 percent among Salvadorans; just less than 50 percent among Cubans.
Even long-established immigrants are disproportionately likely to stay poor. Among immigrants (of all origins) who have resided in the United States for longer than 20 years, the poverty rate is 30 percent higher than among the native born (of all races).
As the United States debates an immigration reform that will substantially increase the flow of unskilled immigrants, Americans need to keep in mind that the debate over how much immigration to welcome is also a debate about how much more poverty to accept.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has made a calculated and coherent decision to leave the right wing of the GOP behind, and move his party closer to the center, isolating radical and discredited Republican rightists such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). There will be major consequences for Boehner's move, including the likely passage of a strong immigration reform bill — which will include some credible path to citizenship — before Election Day.
I never agreed with those Republicans and commentators who claimed that immigration reform was dead. That was never true. It is not true today. Boehner's recent public tongue-lashing, in surprisingly derisive tones, of anti-immigration conservatives in the House Republican Conference was striking and revealing.
Boehner understands that it would be politically poisonous for Republicans to kill immigration reform before the election and to be accused of a war against Hispanics as they are accused of a war against women. President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are stepping into the breach and moving aggressively to seize the moment. Boehner wants an immigration reform bill. With Boeher's change of heart, most likely a strong immigration bill will pass before Election Day or Republicans will be blamed by Hispanics, accused of a war against them, and pay a heavy price in November.
"I'm in the camp that would much prefer that Congress move to pass something," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, a pro-reform advocacy organization. "I think if they don't, the president will be forced to act and I hope he acts boldly and I hope he protects a lot of people."…
"I haven't given up hope completely, but my goodness, [House Republicans] issue principles one week and seven days later they have to slam the brakes on," Sharry said. "They have such an easy time getting to 'no' and such a hard time getting to 'yes' that it's hard to be optimistic."
A senior Democratic aide with direct knowledge of House negotiations said expectations are similarly low inside the Capitol. Despite positive comments from Reps. Joe Barton and Cathy McMorris Rogers on the prospects for reform late last week, the aide said that Republicans have not finished drafting legislative language for their primary reform bill, a difficult and time-consuming job. As GOP progress slowly grinds on, the aide said Democratic lawmakers are increasingly acting under the assumption that it will be Obama, not Boehner, who makes the first substantive move on immigration reform.
"I think for once the president might show some leadership," the aide said. "We'll see."

Missoula mayor meets with property managers over proposed housing units
MISSOULA, Mont. - Property managers met with Missoula Mayor John Engen to talk about a controversial plan to build 1,000 new apartment units in Missoula.
Housing is part of the joint city-University quality of life initiative.
Property managers met with the mayor at a lunch meeting Thursday.
Supporters said building new units would help take students and others out of unsafe, run down housing.
But many rental property owners think descriptions like that are overstated.
Pointing to a rising vacancy rate, they said, there's an abundance of safe, clean housing.
Long range plans are to build units along the East Broadway corridor.
The mayor said he's been in touch with several developers who specialize in what modern college students need.
"It's about being able to be social,"said Engen,It's about being secure, he said, with proximity to campus. And a piece of this is also about parents who are footing the bill.
But look at the vacancy rate said property manager Tom Chapman. "We see that studios are at 6 % where a year ago they were at 3% so you can see a large increase.
I think as a community we need to be concerned," said Chapman.
Another part of the initiative would be to set up an inspection plan to make sure housing units are safe and sound.
Engen thinks quality rentals would benefit from that.
But many property owners said its an already fragile market.
They said while it's taking longer to rent units, expenses and taxes continue to rise.

Smells exactly like BBQ sauce, The taste doesn't quite have the same depth as the real stuff but for a zero calorie diet food this is a perfect substitute. I add a little Frontier Natural salt free Organic BBQ Seasoning (also from iherb) when cooking my proteins and pour this over the finished result
Taste almost like the real BBQ sauce!

Discussion in 'General MMA discussion' started by smfowns4, Feb 24, 2013.
frankie didnt deserve the fight he was pretty much an injury replacement
Pettis isn't moving down with a title around his wasit, like Aldo would have in that situation most likely when moving up. I thought Dana making that comparison was dumb
Aldo just wants Dana to open the check book again
probably some of the worst things i have read here........i mean you guys are comparing reining/defending champions to Pettis?
I was comparing Frankie, a lightweight fighter coming off two straight losses, to Anthony Pettis, the last Strikeforce Lightweight Champion who is currently on a three fight streak and beat the current UFC Lightweight Champion (the one who just beat Frankie in two back to back fights) to get his Strikeforce title.
Frankie got rewarded for losing his title and failing to reclaim it with a FW title shot. You can polish that turd all you want talking about his title defenses, but that was some serious bulls---. At least Pettis deserves a title shot, even if it is in the LW division.
Looks like Jose Aldo and camp have the same idea. As a fan this is how the fight should be.
Is Aldo High? Aldo fought Frankie Edgar who came from 155 lbs to 145 lbs and got an instant title shot. If he was fine with fighting Edgar why would he not be fine fighting Pettis? Pettis would destroy Frankie. I honestly believe Aldo does not want to fight a much better all around fighter in Pettis. He would not have the speed, height, or technical advantage over Pettis. Its a bad match up for Aldo. Aldo is scared homie!
Frankie was a replacement. Shut up with that comparison also
Frankie was a replacement for Koch. Then there Aldo and Edgar was completely scrapped from the Brazil card and moved to another card. Koch was ready by the time Edgar and Aldo happened. Shut up with your selective memory.
frankie was former UFC LW champion..
pettis is some guy who texted dana white for a fight after aldo beat edgar
Pettis is the former WEC LW champ. What is your point? Pettis wrecked Hendo in the first fight. Edgar didnt come close to anything of the sort other than point fighting.
I think Also fans are scared of Pettis.
hendo and bendo are not the same person.
he didn't "wreck him"
he played the role of the human backpack for round 3, had some close rounds then landed a kick that won him the fight with 1 minute left.
he won, but he never finished him so you can't say he "wrecked" bendo.
and i'm not an "also fan"
i just think that pettis's loss to clay guida and his split decision win over stephens aweren't impressive at all, he should have to fight atleast 1 fight at FW before getting the shot.
lamas submitted cub swanson.
he TKO'd Matt Grice (who showed exactly how tough he is in his last fight)
he was the first to defeat hatsu hioki in the ufc the highly touted japanese prospect who just turned down a title shot.
then he beat the guy who got injured and taken out of the fight with aldo.
But hey, pettis got 2 quick KO's in a row against lower ranked guys in a division higher
please take another 6 month break from posting if you truely believe that Pettis doesnt deserve a shot in another div after doing absolutely nothing in said div to earn it
I'm sorry Aldo, Jones, and Silva. I thought you guys were the champs... not the match makers.
+ GSP picking his next opponent coming off a loss and suspension over the real contender
On another note, still stoked to see Hendricks laid out cold post-158.
Don't be scared, Josey.

its woodworking season and we need to think about safety:
Table saw kick back last night.
Like most good close call stories it was late, I was feeling in hurry, I was staring at a huge pile of wood. So I decided to use the existing dato stack on the table saw to cut hand holds rather than the usual jig. After reading about the under cut on the hand hold from the jig I figured I would cut the hand holds with the saw and maybe use my normal jig to put the slope to it. So I measured to center of the blade for the correct height and put my aux fence behind the blade (big mistake). I would put the edge of the box to the back of the blade and rock it forward until it hit the table. About every 10 sides I would get a catch and it would bounce a little forward. One ripped it out of my hand and planted it directly into my groin; another went past me and the third time it bounced around the saw, completely destroying the side. Finally I got smart, ok less stupid, and moved the aux fence to the front of the blade. Now the blade forced the wood into the stop and the stop protected me. One hour without an incident.
I upgraded to a bigger saw after using a craftsman for 30 yrs and that blade does not stop like that old saw did.
OK post your close calls, pictures welcome.

Terminus will be welcoming their new guests with a nice steak "Beth" dinner.
Loved it when Rick took a big bite out of that *******s neck!! How are they going to get out of this mess.
Good finale. I was surprised that they had the 'claim gang' catch up to Rick so early in the episode. I figured that would be the finale. But that entire sequence with Rick, Michonne, Carl and Darryl vs. the gang was intense, especially Rick taking a page out of the walker's book and going for the throat, literally.
One of these teams is not like the others
I didn't care much for the finale. Too many commercials and most of the episode was wasted on Carl and Michonne crying and talking about the past. Seriously, only 10 minutes of Terminus? I thought the finale was going to blow people away. It definitely didn't do that for me.
The only issue I had with the finale was that I thought the ending in the train car was a little abrupt after Rick said the people at Terminus didn't know who they were dealing with.
But the second half of season 4 since they left the prison was more about character arcs than anything else and I felt like the finale was about Rick's character making another major arc.
One of these teams is not like the others

Completely dominated by ARM processors, the massive and growing smartphone market is an area where Intel has only recently landed. And the chipmaker understandable seems to be concerned with its lacking position in the mobile market. In the end, smartphone shipments have exceeded the number of PCs, marking an unavoidable turning point for Intel, its partnership strategy and its product line up.
Intel is no longer willing to ignore such a large segment of the market and that is why the company is investing most of their time on mobile phones computing – in particular developing next generation Intel chips for smartphones, alliance with leading smartphone players and acquiring and investing in software services for mobile apps.
At Mobile World Congress this week, many, including Intel, have taken the opportunity to reintroduce themselves to the world, with a fresh take on the mobile industry. A year has made all the difference for Intel in particular, as the chipmaker has a significantly broader line up of new chips and industry relationships to announce at MWC 2013.
The Atom processor remains a central focus for Intel, unveiling its first dual-core chip for smartphones, the Clover Trail+. Energy efficiency is a key improvement for Clover Trail +, as Intel's chips have proven power-hungry in the past. And while Intel's latest Atom chip comes with worthy specs, including an Intel graphics media accelerator engine with a graphics core supporting up to 533MHz with boost mode, rivals like ARM and Qualcomm have already moved on to the quad-core chipset (though Intel would say more cores doesn't make a better chip). Intel's also behind on LTE support, an important feature in today's data-hungry mobile world.
Intel certainly has big plans for catching up in the smartphone space, but the chipmaker is exploring several avenues in the mobile market at large. The diversified approach should help Intel survive the transition to a post-PC era, where mobility and Services are key. Here are some of the opportunities Intel has on its plate:
The right developer tech boosts a Services-driven ecosystem
According to the latest report from Berg Insight, the number of mobile apps downloaded across all major platforms will reach 108 billion in 2017, and the revenue market from applications, including both direct revenues (when you pay for an app) and in-app ad revenues, will reach $8.4 billion with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17% between 2012 and 2017. That's a hefty market to tap as more businesses rely on apps to interface with consumers. The significant growth here has enabled a new economy around the developer community, which will need an array of services to support the creation, management and distribution of mobile apps.
To this end, Intel recently acquired the rights to HTML5 development tools company appMobi, and transferred its staff personnel, now engaged in the development of HTML5 tools. The acquisition will focus on the business of providing cloud services for mobile applications. The new purchase will strengthen the company's presence in the market of mobile platforms and development tools.
appMobi has more than 130,000 active developers working on mobile and desktop applications using HTML5 as of Oct 2012. This large bunch will help Intel enhance its presence in web tools by establishing new frameworks for traditional web applications, games and mobile applications. Intel could use these to enhance its own mobile App Catalog as well.
Looking further beyond PCs
To be fair, Intel has not completely missed the mobile boat. The company is heading towards a device-agnostic future with enough hardware and processor options, along with the right software offerings in an effort to move beyond the PC market to data centers, mobile and cloud computing sectors.
The 4th generation Intel Core processor family and new line of low-power processors will usher in an era of unprecedented innovation in mobile computing. The new chip will bring faster, thinner, lighter, cooler, more secure systems with built-in graphics to mainstream, an area where ARM chip is currently leading.
The company has demonstrated interesting insight given its roadmap for its range of processors, targeting areas like automobile infotainment, home automation systems, handheld devices and tablets. While 64% of Intel's revenues are still derived from the PC market, the number is dropping and the chipmaker, known for its incessant R&D, is preparing for a new future.
McAfee, the acquired Intel Company, has become profitable in the last quarter due to the software and services and contributed over $1 billion in revenue. Its data center group is inching closer to PC client group that clocked 22% year-on-year growth.
Hyperscale computing and software-led infrastructure are two areas that Intel has also explored seriously. The company has invested $20 million cash in Big Switch Networks, an early player in software-defined networking (SDN).
Intel is also hoping to find growth in the auto industry by getting carmakers to use its technology. Partnerships with Toyota and General Motors can help Intel speed up development of these technologies. Intel's Connected Car Fund will invest in next-generation in-car technology, advanced driver assistance technology with speech and gesture recognition. The company has also invested heavily in WiMAX, betting that it would become the standard for mobile phones operating on 4G. But unfortunately, LTE is set as the new 4G standard by telecom industries – — leaving Intel's investment in this case out in the cold.
The microprocessor leader is also entering into Internet TV market, where microservers seem to be a key part of that strategy. According to IHS research, microservers is one of the fastest growing areas within the mobile and cloud computing markets, and the market is expected to grow to over 1 million by 2016. Such explosive growth brings new opportunities for Intel's vast experience in chip technology, anxious to meet the more specific needs in the mobile and cloud computing marketplace.
Intel's new processor – fourth-generation Haswell processor – is the answer to the micro server market, with its longer life and faster speeds. In the long run, Intel is targeting the $200-$500 mobile market segment because that's where a lot of the growth is in emerging market like China, India and Brazil. The acquisition of Infineon Technologies' wireless chip business in 2011 and investing in new mobile players in introducing Intel powered mobile devices is an indication in that direction.

Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies
The Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) program at Winston-Salem State University has been meeting the needs of learners, with at least two years of transferable credit, since 1974. The program serves adult students, in particular, who seek a broad, more flexible degree program to help them to advance or become more established in their careers, to meet requirements for an advanced degree, or to improve their understanding of the world around them.
BIS students are diverse. They bring to the university many academic, personal, and work-related experiences. They typically choose the BIS program because (1) they are aware that they are more employable in many occupations with the degree, (2) that learning in the arts and sciences and in a field of specialization leads to understanding and empowerment, and (3) they recognize that they can effectively meet their most important goals for a bachelor's degree through the BIS program.
Winston-Salem State University, like every other college accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, requires that all its academic programs have an approved balance among general education, one or more fields of specialization, and electives.
Integrative Studies
This Internet-based concentration of 36 semester hours offers the learner an opportunity to find the intersection between disciplines that integrate earlier studies with the changing economy and career demands that she wishes to satisfy and is an alternative for students who need or seek a broader educational experience. This program enhances or cultivates communication, critical thinking and creative problem solving skills; knowledge of one's own and other cultures; exploration of societal issues; and the ability to use cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to learning and scholarship through historical, regional, thematic, or problem-focused study.

Film: Marx Reloaded
Sat, Dec 15 • 4:00pm & 7:30pm // Sun, Dec 16 • 2:00pm & 4:00pm
Marx Reloaded is a new documentary that examines the relevance of German socialist and philosopher Karl Marx's ideas for understanding the global economic crisis. Recent events triggered the deepest global recession in 70 years and prompted the US government to spend more than a trillion dollars to rescue its banking system from collapse. Today a new generation of philosophers, artists and political activists are returning to Marx's ideas in order to try to make sense of the crisis and to consider whether a world without — or beyond — capitalism is possible. Interviews with leading experts include Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Nina Power, Jacques Rancière, Peter Sloterdijk, Alberto Toscano, and Slavoj Zizek. (2011, 52 min, digital)
Preceded by the short The Immigrant, Charlie Chaplin's poignant and hilarious tale of the immigrant's journey and subsequent class struggles. (1917, 20 min, 16mm)

AMD 890FX overclocking and memory performance
Posted on 27th Apr 2010 at 12:26 by Richard Swinburne with 3 comments
As you'd expect from a big launch, there's been a lot of jostling for position behind the scenes, especially here in Taipei, Taiwan. As it's a high-end launch, the various motherboard and memory companies involved have been checking out how the new chip and chipset fare with overclocking, and I dropped by G.Skill's offices a couple of weeks ago to get their impressions of AMD's new kit.
At the time, I filed a story about G.Skill's latest 2,500MHz DDR3 but I also had the chance to see the Asus M4A89GTO Pro (890FX/SB850) running four sticks of DDR3 at 1,800MHz, with timings of 6-8-6-24-40-2T.
The overclocked test system used the latest Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition C3, however we also saw it achieve similar memory speeds using a Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition too. The higher frequency is easier to hit with the latest C3 stepping CPUs thanks to AMD's refinement of its CPU-NB link, but if you have a "good" C2 it can hits these speeds too.
G.Skill were keen to point out that the CAS 6 isn't achievable with every 890FX board at launch, although when as I visited a couple of weeks before the launch, the company's reps told me the FAE teams at each motherboard company still had time to tweak and tune their BIOSes.
4GB memory kits will be available soon and should have either Perfect Storm or Trident heatsinks attached, but the company is as yet undecided about upcoming ranges. As for buying an Asus M4A89GTO Pro - well, when AMD launches its 890FX soon, then you can get one! Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Gates Get Shoutout from Dark Reading
What I do want to point out for you infosec pros and pentesters is a great resource on hacking Oracle servers. Chris Gates has put together some awesome examples of using the Metasploit Framework's Oracle modules over the last few months on his blog, Carnal0wnage. If you have Oracle servers in your environment or perform pentests for companies who use Oracle, take the time to walk through the examples and test out the modules. You never know when they might come in handy.
For entire story:

Animation: Alpine Butterfly Loop (Lineman's Loop) Tying
Alpine Butterfly Loop (Lineman's Loop) TyingWrap the rope around your hand twice. At the end of turn one, position the rope close to your fingertips. Continue around and complete turn two back near your thumb. Pick up the turn near your fingertips. Wrap it around the other two turns. Slide the knot off your hand and tighten by pulling on the loop and the ends.
Alpine Butterfly Loop (Lineman's Loop) Details
Features: What is now known as the Alpine Butterfly Loop was described twice by Ashley: Lineman's Loop (ABOK # 1053, p 191); and Harness Loop (ABOK # 532, p 87). It provides a secure loop in the middle of a piece of rope. Load can be safely applied: from the loop to either end of the rope; between the two ends with the loop hanging free; or to the loop with the load spread between the two ends.
Uses: It is useful anytime a secure loop is required in the middle of a rope. A good example is when a line of hikers wish to hook on along the length of a shared rope or as a possible option for the first part of a Trucker's Hitch.
Tying it: There are several methods for tying it. We devised the method that is used in the animation. It is an improvement on other "hand-winding" methods. It helps locate the loop: the second crossing of your hand is near your fingertips and away from the other two turns. This helps you to locate it, pick it up, and wrap it around the other two strands. Setting the knot usually requires holding the loop in your teeth and pulling both ends with your hands.
Advantages: It is more stable than either the Bowline on a Bight or the Figure 8 Loop - both of which may roll over. Even after a heavy load, the Alpine Butterfly Loop remains reasonably easy to undo. In addition, it teaches the technique for tying the Alpine Butterfly Bend. This familiarity is one of the reasons that we prefer the Alpine Butterfly Bend over the other similar bends such as the Zeppelin, the Hunter's, and the Ashley.
Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed. No responsibility is accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material.

How long does it stay in bloom?

Murphy will be the second option if JJ doesn't pick up where he left off. D Scott should be the third option. Randall doesn't have the speed or moves of the other 3.

Feed a stray-spay a stray
Original post made by Dwana, Menlo Park, on Jul 28, 2006
I want to thank Sue Dremann for highlighting the problem of homeless cats. I have done a lot of cat rescue because I just got tired of seeing animals suffer. For years I told myself they weren't "my" cats - and that's a lot of people say. However, at some point I realized that whether they were "mine" or not, I had to deal with the consequences of unspayed and unneutered animals - sick and dying stray kittens. If each person who feeds a stray would spay a stray, there would be a much smaller burden on all of us.

I want to thank Dwana for taking care of animals that have been cast aside. What a compassionate and important thing to do. As president of the Palo Alto Humane Society, I would like to invite Dwana to join our CatWorks Program, for some spay/neuter assistance for homeless and feral cats. "Spay that stray;" that is a motto of the Palo Alto Humane Society. We encourage everyone to take some sense of responsibility for animals in need. We also encourage everyone to spay their dog or cat. Unspayed pets become the source of stray animals that are left to fend for themselves or die at the shelter. Thanks to reporter Sue Dremann for covering this issue.

I'm confused by the Palo Alto Humane Society president's message. The Palo Alto Humane Society CatWorks program, whose volunteers reached into the community to trap, neuter, and return feral cats, remove, rehabilitate, and find homes for feral kittens, was discontinued in March 2005, and the volunteers who worked within that program with PAHS started Peninsula CatWorks to continue that mission.
Although the PAHS website indicates that Peninsula CatWorks was formed to do the "adoption" program, that is the very end result of many hours of trapping, working with people in the community, fostering, medical expenses, socialization, and prioritizing and responding to many emergency requests. PAHS does not provide a phone number on their web site any more, so I am confused about how one would join?
While the Palo Alto Humane Society continues to provide a small amount of low-cost spay/neuter vouchers, they do not provide trapping assistance or volunteers to assist in their continuing "Catworks" program, so again, the message is confusing.
Dwana, thank you for taking individual responsibility for the strays in your environment, which was one of the prime points of Sue Dremann's article. It is difficult to think of these poor creatures as "belonging" to you individually -- but by spaying and neutering you are enhancing the quality and duration of their lives. This is a problem everywhere, no just the Peninsula, and your action shows your concern for other sentient creatures.

I appreciate the opportunity to clarify the Palo Alto Humane Society's program for Michele and others interested. The Palo Alto Humane Society (PAHS) does indeed continue to spay and neuter homeless cats through its long established CatWorks Program. In 2005 PAHS provided generous funding to help establish Peninsula Catworks to do adoptions, while PAHS continues to concentrate on helping people get animals spayed--as we have done for more than 30 years. For information on CatWorks or on low-income spaying or neutering of cats, dogs, or rabbits, contact PAHS at (650) 424-1901.

401 (k)
A 401(k) is a type of retirement plan that allows employees to save and invest for their own retirement. Through a 401(k), you can authorize your employer to deduct a certain amount of money from your paycheck before taxes are calculated, and to invest it in the 401(k) plan. Your money is invested in investment options that you choose from the ones offered through your company's plan. The federal government established the 401(k) in 1981 with special tax advantages, to encourage people to prepare for retirement. They get their catchy name from the section of the Internal Revenue Code which established them (you guessed it, section 401(k)).
A name for a type of scam that targets members of a specific demographic group. Perpetrators may attempt to relate to or exploit characteristics common to the demographic group. Targeted groups can include the elderly, ethnic groups, and religions. Perpetrators attempt to portray themselves as members of this group or people who can relate to the members of the group in order to gain trust and eventually money. Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes are sometimes combined with affinity fraud.
A specified income payable at stated intervals for a fixed or a contingent period, often for the recipient's life, in consideration of a stipulated premium paid either in prior installment payments or in a single payment.
A long-term promissory note in which the issuer agrees to pay the owner the amount of the face value on a future date and to pay interest at a specified rate at regular intervals.
A firm that functions both as a broker by bringing buyers and sellers together and as a dealer by taking positions of its own in selected securities. Many firms that are commonly called brokers or brokerage firms are actually broker-dealers.

bond A bond that can be exchanged at the option of the holder into preferred or common stock at a preset ratio.
A contract with an insurance company that promises periodic payments keyed in a specific manner to a stock market index. Unlike variable annuities, equity-indexed annuities specify a guaranteed minimum return that is typically 3 percent. These contracts may also specify an upper limit (cap) on the return that is paid. Indexing methods vary, and surrender charges often apply to early withdrawals.

Phishing is a high-tech scam that uses spam email to deceive consumers into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, and other sensitive personal information.
An illegal investment scheme in which investors are promised impossibly high returns on their investments. These are scams in which money from later investors is used to pay earlier investors. The creators of the scheme get most of the profits while those who come later are left with nothing because there are eventually an insufficient number of new investors to pay the existing ones. These scams inevitably collapse because they require exponential growth in the number of participants at each step, which is impossible. Letters or emails that encourage the recipient to send money and then pass the message along to a certain number of new targets are a type of pyramid scheme.
A written promise to pay a specified sum of money to a designated person or to his or her order, or to the bearer of the note, at a fixed time or on demand.
An individual retirement account in which investments are made with taxable dollars, but earnings are tax-free and withdrawals are tax-free after age 59 ½.
