Press loses a friend with death of Cuban Oswaldo Payá
A friend delivered the shocking news in a telephone call on Sunday. Oswaldo Payá, an activist and a tireless advocate for freedom of expression, had died in a car accident that afternoon.
A friend delivered the shocking news in a telephone call on Sunday. Oswaldo Payá, an activist and a tireless advocate for freedom of expression, had died in a car accident that afternoon.
The CPJ remembers Cuban
human rights advocate Laura Pollán Toledo who died in
Cuban human rights defender Laura Pollán, who died Friday from respiratory complications at a Havana hospital, fought a mighty battle against the Cuban government for almost a decade. Pollán, 63, leaves behind her husband, the award-winning independent journalist Héctor Maseda Gutiérrez, and a daughter. She also leaves a legacy of determination, courage, and creativity. Her powerful belief in justice was ultimately rewarded when dozens of wrongly imprisoned dissidents and journalists, including her husband, were freed from prison over the last two years, in large part due to her efforts.
In mid-2006, CPJ's Journalist Assistance program began sending regular remittances to the families of independent Cuban journalists in prison. By CPJ's count, of the 29 journalists jailed during a massive crackdown in 2003, 24 were still in prison at the time--making Cuba the world's second-worst jailer of journalists in the world. The remittances, sent monthly, helped families cover travel expenses to the prisons--sometimes two days away on shabby buses--and basic maintenance for the jailed editors and reporters--ranging from food staples like rice and beans, to clothes, bowls and spoons, to aspirin and specialized medications, all unavailable behind bars. At the time, I was the Research Associate for the Americas program, and my job was to contact families and catalog urgency and needs.
When the last of 29 journalists jailed in a notorious 2003 crackdown was finally freed this year, it signaled to many the end of a dark era. But Cuban authorities are still persecuting independent journalists through arbitrary arrests, beatings, and intimidation. A CPJ special report by Karen Phillips
New York, April 8, 2011--The Cuban government on Thursday released the last journalist remaining in its prisons, ending a dark, eight-year-long era in which the island nation was one of the world's worst jailers of the press, at one time imprisoning nearly 30 independent reporters and writers. The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed relief today that Albert Santiago Du Bouchet Hernández has been freed, a milestone in an intensive, international advocacy effort led by the Catholic Church, the Spanish government, and international press and human rights groups.
March 18 is not a day we usually look forward to at CPJ. On this day in 2003, the Cuban government launched a massive crackdown on the independent press resulting in the jailing of 29 reporters. But this year we have reason to feel encouraged. On March 4, with the release of Pedro Argüelles Morán, the last of the Black Spring journalists was released.
New York, March 7, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release of Cuban independent journalist Pedro Argüelles Morán on Friday, and calls on Cuban authorities to eliminate all conditions on his freedom. Argüelles Morán, at left, was the last of 29 reporters arrested during a 2003 massive government crackdown on dissent to be allowed to leave jail, on parole.
Almost three weeks after being released from jail following eight years of inhumane treatment in Cuba's infamous prison system, CPJ's 2008 International Press Freedom award winner Héctor Maseda Gutiérrez said he is committed to going back to independent journalism. "That's my will, and I have decided to do it here in Havana," Maseda said in a telephone conversation from Cuba's capital.
New York, February 14, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists called on Cuban authorities today to place no conditions on the release of journalist Héctor Maseda Gutiérrez, who was freed on parole Saturday. Maseda Gutiérrez is a founding member of the independent news agency Grupo de Trabajo Decoro and a winner of CPJ's International Press Freedom Award in 2008.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Daylight-saving changes may affect UTSA staff
By Carolyn Ellis
Assistant Director of Customer Relations and Communications, Office of Information Technology
(Feb. 27, 2007)--This year, daylight-saving time (DST) begins March 11 and ends Nov. 4 -- beginning three weeks earlier and ending one week later than last year. In 2005, the U.S. Congress passed the U.S. Energy Policy Act, which brought these DST changes.
Software installed in personal computers and mobile devices normally handles the time change. Because most of this software was programmed to function according to the previous DST rules, updates to the software are necessary.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Although most personal computers and BlackBerry devices at UTSA will be updated by a remote process, Outlook and Entourage e-mail applications require the user to make some manual adjustments to ensure a correct transition to the new DST time change.
The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) has detailed instructions on how to update UTSA devices at the Daylight-Saving Time Web site. The site provides other best practices as well as general information on DST.
OIT Help Desk staff are available to manually configure university-owned personal computers and mobile devices, if more assistance is needed.
If you have technical questions about the DST changes, contact the Help Desk at (210) 458-5538. For general information about the DST change, contact Carolyn Ellis at (210) 458-6616.

Typing Secret Word Will Kill Almost Any App in Apple's OS X Mountain Lion
Jason Mick
February 4, 2013 6:38 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
"It just works." --Apple
While Microsoft Corp. (
) has received much admonishment for its various Windows bugs over the years, it is a dramatic new bug from the brash challenger of the the operating system world, Apple, Inc.'s (
OS X Mountain Lion
(10.8.2), which has people talking. The bug is startling simple, but it can crash almost any OS X app. All you have to do is type a word and a few characters.
I. Universal Crashes
The forbidden word is "File:///" (case sensitive). Type that in virtual any text input form (be it a notepad, a browser dialogue, a document editor, a calendar appointment, etc.) and the program will die. It appears that similar strings ("fILE:///" or "FILE://aa") can also trigger program crahes. In a bizarre twist, some crashes appear to be dependent on how fast you type certain variants (e.g. "File://" followed by characters). An
Open Radar
user named "Jonathan" shares a movie he made documenting that bizarre behavior
Among the programs confirmed to be infected are Tweetbot, Safari, Chrome, and TextEdit. The program appears to be tied somehow to some sort of deep-rooted API embedded into OS X (it appears not to be the spell-check API as the Safari location bar has no spell check, but is still affected).
In a particularly hilarious (or awful) failure, typing the problem string into Apple's Crash Reporter UI crashes the Crash Reporter.
Mountain Lion has a big bug. [Image Source: HD Wallpapers]
The bug does not affect OS X Lion (10.7) or Snow Leopard (10.6).
II. A Partial Fix?
A handful of apps, such as the image-editor Gimp, appear to be immune, perhaps because they disable whatever the trouble-making interface is. Typing the string in these apps will produce no crash.
Some users suggest that going to System Preferences > Language & Text > Text, and unchecking "Correct spelling automatically" and "Use symbol and text substitution" will stop the crashes in some apps. However, commenters say the apps continue in some programs even after doing that.
One loyal Apple user comments on the bug report:
This is actually a feature. It allows you to shut down all applications before shutting down your Mac:
Crashes Finder if typed into a Finder search field (not Spotlight, though). Crashes Safari if typed into the URL bar. Crashes Mail if typed into the search field. Crashes iTunes when typed into the search field. Crashes system-generated keychain unlock prompts (typed into the "Name:" field) Crashes Reminders if typed into the search field. ...
For now the bug is merely "interesting", but it also represents a potential security flaw. If malicious users start to use it in forms-based attacks, it could become a major headache for OS X users.
Apple for years marketed its products under the slogan "It just works", but has been
plagued with software issues
of late. Some blame Tim Cook, Apple's new CEO who replaced the late Steve Jobs, for the slipping quality. Apple's
iOS maps woes
drew a large amount of national news coverage late last year. Tim Cook
publicly apologized to his company's fans
for the poor showing.
Our Testing:
We confirmed that the bug crashes both Safari and Searchlight. For us the Crash Reporter did not come up even:
...about to crash!
The shell/terminal program in OS X appears to be immune to the crashes:
We'll update if a patch lands.
Open Radar
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad

Application Deadline
October 31, 2014
Spring 2015 Externships
Fall 2015 Externships
Summer 2015 Externships
Important Documents
Judicial Externships
Each semester, the college places approximately 30 students as judicial externs to work in judges' chambers. Judges participating in the program include United States Circuit, District, Bankruptcy, and Magistrate Judges; Justices of the Ohio Supreme Court; and Franklin County Common Pleas, Domestic Relations and Juvenile Court Judges.
Judicial externships provide excellent educational opportunities, including observation of the workings of courts from the inside, interaction with distinguished judges, and engagement in supervised research and writing.
Judicial externs attend monthly classes at the college, in which they discuss a wide range of topics, including the experiences of their classmates in the program and ethical issues specific to the judiciary.
The program runs the full 14 weeks of the Autumn and Spring Semesters and 7 weeks of the Summer Semester. Students receive 3 credits in Autumn and Spring and 2 credits in Summer. The class is graded on a "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" basis.
The course requirements include eight hours of work each week (plus possible additional work as required by the judge), attendance at the monthly classes, weekly journal entries, a short paper about what the student learned during the externship, a sample of work done for the court, and an evaluation of the student's work by the judge or supervisor.
Selection Process
Selection is on a competitive but broad basis. Demonstrated writing ability and commitment and capacity to represent the college well are important criteria. Law school grades will be neither irrelevant nor controlling. Under faculty policy, third-year students are given preference in the selection process. Also, a few of the judges are only willing to take third-year students.
Application Requirements and Deadlines
Students interested in Spring (Winter) 2014 externships must submit an application, a resume, and a 5-page writing sample to April Davis by 5 p.m. on Friday, November 22, 2013. Submissions may be made by email or by delivering a hard copy to her office in Room 104. The deadline for applications for Summer 2014 and Fall 2014 externships is March 28, 2014. An informational meeting will be held prior to the March deadline.
Selected students will be notified shortly after the close of the application period. Students with questions about the Judicial Externship Program may visit Dean Smith in Room 104S or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A fabulous apartment and a great host
We had a perfect holiday in this wonderful appartment situated in a nice and quite area just 10 minutes walk from the old city.
The apartment was very clean and cosy. There was Cava and cold water in the fridge, when we arrived late in the evening.
The terrace is amazing: Flowers, nice table, chairs and best of all: a fantastic breathtaking 180 o view over Barcelona.
We had a very good communication with the owner, Francesco. He is a very nice helpfull and trustworthy person, who did everything he could to make our stay pleasent.
We got clean towels in the middle of the week, and Francesco helped us with taxi, useful informations etc.
We will definitely recommend this appartment– and we hope to come back again.
We were very happy about our choice of the apartment, which is clean and comfortable with a great view to the city. Francesco is a very polite and friendly man who told us everything about places to go or not to go. He prepared a map of the city for us and gave us good informations. We will tell our friends to rent this apartment and my daughter will tell her customers in her hairdresser salon.
Kind regards from Hamburg for the Team
Kerstin and Marilyn
Thanks for a wonderful stay in Barcelona. We will fully recomand the flat, location and our eminent host Francesco Landucci. It doesn`t get better than this.
Marit and Alf Christian Samuelsen. Norway
Perfect appartment (central location, clean, beautiful view) and perfect host (very friendly, giving many advices, never too late and always flexible). Thank you very much Francesco for all your help and support. 10/10
Amazing apartment in the Barcelona City Centre.
APARTMENT - Spotlessly clean, GLORIOUS penthouse balcony overlooking the city in one direction, and with windows overlooking the sea in the other, air conditioning, comfortable bed, kitchen facilities for self catering, Wifi, TV and DVD player, storage, hot and powerful shower. Very happy, wish this was my apartment.
LOCATION - Excellent, 10min walk from the the Gothic Quarter and city centre, 5min from Metro Station, 15min from the Sea front, excellent bakery and fruit shop and supermarket (LIDL) within 1 minutes walk. So close to the centre that we hardly ever needed to take a taxi as we could walk home easily.
COST - Great value for what you get, much nicer than staying in a hotel.
HOST - FRANCESCO is incredibly helpful with loads of advice, information, leaflets, coupons, discounts and totmeipsto tips to make your trip amazing.
CITY - You MUST come to see Barcelona, and you MUST stay here. Need I say more?
We stayed in this wonderful penthouse during one week this summer. we were 4 girls, 19 years old. The penthouse was located perfect. Close to the beach, but also to the nightclubs, excellent shopping and good restaurants. the apartment has an incredible view and you can literarily watch the skyline of Barcelona from the Balcony. Francesco was a very good host and if we needed something or had to ask about something he helped us directly, very good service. When i visit Barcelona next time I will book this penthouse again.
It's a small loft well situated: 20mn by foot from the beach, 20 mn from the gothic Center, 20 mn from La Sagrada Família and 5 mn from the supermarket. The loft is air- conditioned and has a lovely terrace above the town. Francesco is very helpful and speaks 4 languages at least! To be recommanded.
Es ist ein kleines Appartement, der zentral liegt: 20 mn zu Fuß vom Strand, 20 mn vom Gotikzentrum, 20 mn vom La Sagrada Família und 5 mn vom Supermarkt. Das Appartement ist klimatisiert und besitzt eine Terrasse mit Blick über die Stadt. Francesco ist sehr hilfsbereit und spricht mindestens 4 Sprachen! Zu empfehlen.
C'est un petit appartement bien situé: 20 mn à pied de la plage, 20 mn du centre gothique, 20 mn de la basilique La Sagrada Família et 5 mn du supermarché. L'appartement est climatisé et possède une terrasse avec vue sur la ville. Francesco est très serviable et parle au moins 4 langues dont le français! À recommandé.
We stayed 9 days in Francescos´s Apartment.
He is a nice and friendly fellow.
The apartment is perfect and situated just were you have to be in Barcelona.
On foot 8 min. to the harbour and 12 min to the Rambla.
The terrace with the view over part of the city is unpayable.
Susanne & Holger
We spent a wonderful week in Barcelona. The Penthouse was even more exciting as expected. We will miss the quiet evening hours on the terasse with ham, cheese and red wine, watching the city go asleep...
Thank you Francesco for your hospitality, hope to see you again. May be before Gaudi's 100th anniversary of death.

Funding came from the Nisswa Area Lions Club, which built the original structure, along with substantial contributions from the Nisswa American Legion and other civic organizations.


text: Every time our defense plays well in the playoffs it's because we play aggressively. We play more two man press which gives our line more time to get in. There was so much complaining this year about chipping and three step drops. If we played man press we would have extra people in coverage due to the chip blockers (LB would be able to cut off short routes) and the short routes timing would be disrupted. I understand we cannot solely play man but during the regular season but it seems like we are always in cover 3 with our corners 8 yards off the wrs or playing cover 2 and getting burned with miscommunications. Our D was also playing a lot of soft zones during the regular season in 2011 until we made the playoffs and switched our style. The joke is that we actually have players who excel in man press. Prince, rolle, williams, webster (at least he used to or maybe still can if he learns how to pick the ball up in flight or swat better..he also needs to stop peaking and trying to intercept the ball all of the time i.e. against oggletree or jordy nelson). This is just some food for thought, but I really believe that with the way the league is now with passing dominance, we need to start playing defenses that allow us to play as tightly as possible (Except against Aaron Rodgers cuz our cover two seems to shut him down). I hope I didn't put you guys to sleep

Many custom kits can be created from a basic five-piece configuration with just a spark of imagination and a few changes to the setup. Let the wide selection of Yamaha DTX-PADs and cymbals inspire you to design your own DTX dream kit.
Your music makes a bold statement, and this Fusion Kit looks as good as it plays. Starting with the DTX562K you can add an extra XP70 tom pad with TPCL150 clamp, install a CYAT500 with PCY100 for a second crash, and a PCY90AT for the perfect splash cymbal.
All five-piece kits are not created equal - this is an all DTX-PAD set for the way you rock. Start with the DTX562K and add two extra crash cymbals with a pair each of PCY100 and CYAT500. Use the TPCL150 clamp to strategically position the TP70 pad for use as a cowbell, loop pad, or sound effect.
When it comes to jazz music, sometimes less is just perfect. This Bop Kit configuration uses a DTX562K that is setup with the taller posts on the left side behind the hi-hat. By removing one XP70 tom pad, the kit has a very open feel, and the ride cymbal can be repositioned closer to the toms.
The Hyper Kit is a great example of creative thinking when setting up electronic drums. Using a standard DTX562K, this dream kit configuration uses the tall rack posts on the left side to accommodate an XP70 tom and TPCL150 clamp. Extra cymbal pads and attachments compliment the lower position of the ride cymbal, and adding a DTX-MULTI 12 mounted on a stand offers you a world of musical options.
The DTX502 series kits are great for incorporating electronics into your acoustic drum set to create a "hybrid" setup.
Use a standard multi-clamp such as the Yamaha CSAT924A to mount the trigger module and pads to your drum hardware and setup the KP65 as an auxilliary bass drum. The DTX502 module has the hybrid features you need, such as custom trigger settings for use with triggers on acoustic drums, the ability to associate trigger settings to your custom kits, and sounds that let you cover any musical situation.

Let's take a moment on September 11 to mourn all that lost their lives that day and as a result of that day. Let's recognize everyone that tried to serve and guide us as a result of that day.
Then, let's recognize the loss of freedom, our violence towards our world, and our failure as WE, the people. We need to go shopping for lipstick on September 11 because we have too many pigs past and present to decorate to our superficial satisfaction.

Dear neighbors,
I just read the transcript of the Sarah Palin interview on ABC. WE are not putting lipstick on a pig as was the false claim of the McCain campaign. Sarah Palin is putting lipstick on a fruitcake!
Do watch and READ the interview,

An unloaded magazine will reliably be as useful as a small metal stick for defense. And an unloaded gun makes for a great paperweight...
Sorry... hahah
Constantly loading and unloading of the rounds in a mag will wear down the spring. Leaving a mag loaded will not. Springs fatigue through "cycling", not constant loading.
Leave them loaded, and in a safe place. A strong spring is a reliable spring. A reliable mag leads to a reliable gun, as most Failures to Fire (FTF) are mag-related.
Then get a nice matching 9mm or bigger for defense, and practice a lot with the P22.

Dos and Don'ts
Accent: Although there are still plenty of accents to be heard, it's not charming or inventive to ask if you can "pahhk the cahh in Hahhvad Yahhd." So don't. You can't even drive into Harvard Yard. Also, don't try to order the "chowdah" or a "lobstah."
Transportation: Boston is a small city with limited parking. Don't drive. Your best bet is to take the "T" (subway) or the local buses.
Sports: To paraphrase a popular local T-shirt, only root for two teams: The Boston Red Sox and whoever beats the Yankees. And when the Sox are playing, don't be surprised if there is a TV tuned to the game, even in the most upscale places.
History: Take a moment to stop and appreciate the history. Bostonians are rightfully proud of their city's role in the birth of American democracy and many of the most important sites have been well preserved and protected. So even if you can't tell your Breed's Hill from your Bunker Hill, try to learn a little about what went on here.
Phrase Book
The Hub: Oliver Wendell Holmes referred to the Massachusetts State House as "the Hub of the Solar System." Bostonians have run with this for years and now refer to the entire town as "the Hub."
Beantown: A nickname for Boston referencing a signature local dish—Boston baked beans.
The T: Boston's subway system.
Southie: South Boston, the traditionally Irish, blue-collar neighborhood south of Boston. Think Good Will Hunting.
Boston Brahmin: Boston's old money elite class, often associated with Beacon Hill or Commonwealth Avenue.
The Cape: Boston has a cape to the north (Ann) and to the south (Cod), but "The Cape" is Cape Cod.
The Pike: The Massachusetts Turnpike. It's Interstate 90, a toll road running east to west across the state from Boston to the New York State line outside of Albany.
Wicked: An intensifier, as in "Boston is wicked cool."
Hoodsie: A kiddie-cup container of vanilla/chocolate ice cream and accompanying mini-wooden spoon made popular by the Hood Ice Cream company. Available in multi-packs at local supermarkets.
Square: Boston is full of them: Harvard Square, Kenmore Square, Liberty Square, and almost none of them are squares; they are intersections where three or more streets happen to come together.
The Big Dig: Boston's approximately $15 billion construction project. Predominantly completed by 2006, new underground routes replaced elevated highways, opening vast areas of downtown to sunlight and tourism.

The title character of Colin Fischer, a new young adult novel by Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz, is a boy detective, but don't confuse him for Encyclopedia Brown. Colin is a high schooler with Asperger's syndrome; he has trouble identifying facial expressions, doesn't like to be touched, and needs things to be organized. He also has a great admiration for Sherlock Holmes, so when a gun goes off in the school cafeteria, he's keen on investigating the matter rather than running away.
It's Colin's first year of high school, and his first year without his "shadow" Marie, who helped him navigate daily life. So now he's on his own, dealing with the new social dynamics of high school, trying to interpret the smile on the face of a bully. The story is told from the third person, but Miller and Stentz help the reader see things from Colin's point of view. Each chapter has a short section taken from Colin's ever-present notebook, where he records his observations of the world around him. But even when it's not in Colin's voice, the authors often explain his thought process, allowing the readers to get inside his head. It's really eye-opening, letting you understand why some things could be completely overwhelming.
When the gun is fired in the cafeteria, things are in chaos — students scatter and the gun is left on the ground. The school already has its prime suspect: Wayne Connelly, the school bully. But Colin doesn't buy it, and sets out to prove the innocence of a kid who shoved Colin's head into a toilet the first day of school.

Somalis, Syrians flee violence; Iran crackdown deepens
Fifty-five journalists fled their homes in the past year with help from the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Ocean to Outback
Australian landscape painting 1850–1950
Jeffrey Smart 'Wallaroo' 1951 oil on plywood Collection of the National Gallery of Australia
"The ancient continent of Australia embraces extremes of glorious landscape, plunging cliffs and gentle coastal beaches, mountain ranges and vast plains, dense forest and arid desert. This exhibition, Ocean to Outback: Australian landscape painting 1850–1950, embraces these natural extremes, the landscapes in between, and the cultural landscapes created by human settlement."
Ron Radford, Director National Gallery of Australia
The Hon. Mark Vaile MP, Deputy Prime Minister, Leader of the Nationals and Minister for Transport and Regional Services officially launched Ocean to Outback: Australian landscape painting 1850–1950, at the National Gallery of Australiaon Thursday 2 August 2007.
To mark the National Gallery of Australia's twenty-fifth anniversary, Director Ron Radford AM has curated an exhibition of treasured Australian landscape paintings from the national collection.
Ocean to Outback: Australian landscape painting 1850–1950 is a truly national exhibition. From the white heat of our beaches to the red heart of central Australia, the exhibition celebrates the great diversity of the Australian continent. It includes paintings of every state and territory from the great century of Australian landscape art. From 1850 to 1950 the landscape was the most painted and celebrated theme in Australian art. The exhibition includes works that reflect great social changes and encompasses art-historical periods from colonial art through to modernism.
Ocean to Outback: Australian landscape painting 1850–1950 includes iconic paintings from the permanent display by Australia's eminent artists including Eugene von Guérard, Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, Margaret Preston, Grace Cossington Smith, Russell Drysdale, Arthur Boyd and Sidney Nolan. It also includes a number of works that, because of insufficient hanging space at the National Gallery, out-of-period framing, or condition, have rarely been displayed in Canberra. All of these paintings have now been cleaned, restored and reframed especially for this tour, and are now proudly presented in this exhibition.
The exhibition begins with a dramatic scene of a shipwreck off Tasmania's east coast painted in 1850 by Knut Bull, and an image of Sydney Harbour by colonial artist Conrad Martens. Early images by Australia's finest late colonial landscape painter from the period, Eugene von Guérard, depict the natural beauty of Victoria's Dandenong Ranges and the Blue Mountains in New South Wales. Scenes of the pastoral industry and goldmining are also included. A number of iconic 'blue and gold' images by the Australian Impressionists, Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton, showcase the national collection's great holdings from this period.
The exhibition also features Modernist experiments of colour theory by Roland Wakelin and Roy de Maistre, along with modern works by Australia's greatest women artists Grace Cossington Smith, Margaret Preston and Clarice Beckett. Early works by Jeffrey Smart and Ray Crooke, two of Australia's celebrated living artists, are also on show.
A number of paintings in the exhibitionreveal how artists used the landscape as inspiration during difficult times of drought, depression or war. Masterpieces by Arthur Boyd, Russell Drysdale, Albert Tucker and Sidney Nolan explore the drama and expressive possibilities inherent in the land.
Ocean to Outback: Australian landscape painting 1850–1950 is part of an extensive travelling exhibition program developed by the National Gallery of Australia to ensure that people across Australia have access to the treasures of the national collection.
Ocean to Outback: Australian landscape painting 1850 - 1950 is proudly supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian Government Program supporting touring exhibitions by providing funding assistance for the development and touring of Australian cultural material across Australia, the proud sponsor R.M.Williams, The Bush Outfitter and the National Gallery of Australia Council Exhibitions Fund.
From 2007 to 2009 the exhibition will tour to every Australian state and territory.

North Korea is gearing up to launch a 3G mobile network next week, just a month after it finally relaxed restrictions on foreigners bringing cell phones into the country. For the first time, cell phone users will be able to access the web via mobile, but the network will be restricted to foreigners only.
The Associated Press reports that North Korea's 3G network is set to go live on March 1. The network has been built by Koryolink, a 3G provider that's partly owned by North Korea's government. Koryolink recently began contacting foreign residents in Pyongyang to inform them that they'll soon be able to buy data plans for their mobile phones.
Koryolink's announcement comes just weeks after North Korea said that it would allow foreign tourists to start bringing their mobile phones into the country for the first time. Previously, foreigners that landed at Pyongyang International Airport were required to hand over their phones to authorities at immigration, collecting them only when they left the country. Now though, foreigners have the option to buy local SIM cards at the airport or rent a phone for the duration of their stay.
According to AP, the full internet won't be available to foreign residents for the time being, with only certain text and voice services enabled.
The move follows a recent, controversial visit to the country by Google's chairman Eric Schmidt, who said at the time that Koryolink could easily initiate 3G services in the country:
"There is a 3G network that is a joint venture with an Egyptian company called Orascom. It is a 2100 Megahertz SMS-based technology network that does not, for example, allow users to have a data connection and use smart phones," explained Schmidt.
"It would be very easy for them to turn the Internet on for this 3G network. Estimates are that are about a million and a half phones in the DPRK with some growth planned in the near future."
Schmidt received some criticism for visiting the country, but he did at least take the opportunity to urge North Korea to get connected in order to help develop its economy:
"As the world becomes increasingly connected, their decision to be virtually isolated is very much going to affect their view of the world. This will make it harder for them to catch up economically. We made that alternative very, very clear."

It sounds good to me. I so want a 300 BO AR so bad. G*d Damn responsibilities...
DSA ZM4 16 Inch Chrome Moly Barrel 300 BLK 1:8 Twist - ZM400116300-D S Arms
i don't know if this counts as a "deal" but it does seem as 300BO barrels are coming down a bit in price.
It sounds good to me. I so want a 300 BO AR so bad. G*d Damn responsibilities...
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" -Thomas Jefferson-
"Our rights come from our humanity and may not be legislated away -- not by a vote of Congress, not by the consensus of our neighbors, not even by agreement of all Americans but one." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
Have one or try one.. You have one j4?
My neighbor has one and he loves it..
Is it more knock down power, longer range?
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
the 300BO is a good idea in it is sort of a straight walled 7.62x39 but it uses standard 308 bullets.
it probably is s good short/medium range round for deer.
i don't think it can do anything i can't all ready do with the 7.62x39 in the ar-15s. since i built two 7.62s i don't have much need for the 300bo.
the main reason for the 300 is it should make a fine round for running a quiet can, sort of like a more standard 300whisper-- that will be cheaper to load since it uses a standard brass and a standard bullet in .308 dia .
the bad thing about all these 'improved" ar-15 rounds like 6.8spc,6.5 grendel, 300BO and so on is they do offer some improvements they never just blow away the old 7.62x39 and even the 5.56 , then add in the extra expense of the new exotic stuff.
the only exotic i have is a 6.5g it is an excellent all around rifle that can take medium sized game at as long a range as i'll what to shoot.
the down side to is is the cost and a 7.62x39 is just as good to about 300m--
hell my roll your own 75gr 5.56 load works very well to about 500m , the grendel is better than the either at range but not better than the 308 bolt gun which costs less to shoot and still has more power.
i think that is the deal with the mid sized assault type rounds. they are all a trade off somewhere.
you either get more powder or more lead but ya cant have both in that small case and mag.
less you really like loading your own, i think it is best to stick with the standard military rounds like 7.62x39/5.56 and if you loose a brass it won't cost ya $0.50--
and you can buy the military round still fairly cheap compared to the exotic stuff.
A friend is looking heavily at getting an AR in 300 blackout, doing SBR conversion, then putting a can on it. Seems the round lends itself well to suppression.
When the deal is done (likely Christmas), I will see if he's willing to let me post on it (after shooting, of course!!), or get him to join and post himself...
i have heard the 300-BO is the ticket for canned application. the rater small volume of the case and the ability to load really long heavy rounds is a big plus in that type of situation.
since the subsonic guys mostly load their own anyway the 300 should really shine for them.
Good info.. Thank you..
Not for me I guess.
Hell I am still setting up this Lee Loader, a chimp could probably set up in 2 minutes..
Got it 3 months ago..
It may hit the friggen canal in another week or two..
I better not get that blackout thing.. That would fly also..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
one of the things i thought i would be doing was load ammo cheap-- now i am paying $0.17 for just the bullet--
back in the day i could load the round for less than $0.05 if i hit the gun shows and sales just right--
hey 4th did you ever build that 16" or 14.5" beater upper? just wondering--
Please. I am not knocking re-loading. I am having fun doing it.. But..
My God.. I have containers of powder in the room from 20 years ago..
$17.95 out the door.. and that was high at the time, I just grabbed it, did not shop..
Now everything. $$$$$$$$$$. But hell still save money and fun..
Which beater upper Bro???
Hell everything I built looks like it was dropped from 30 thousand feet.
Battle field kind of look..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
damn 4th, how many uppers did you and your pal mongo assemble? LOL!
i recall a while back you were thinking of building or buying either a cheap 16" or do a 14.5" SBR add on--yea that has been a while back. quite a few beers have went down the hatch since then.
i just remembered it because DSA still has those chrome lined 14.5" for $150 and they still got that bare bones 16" upper for $240.
i am kind of fond of that 14.5" that i blind pinned out to 16" cause it don't ring my ears too much i i forget my ear plugs--LOL

The non-profit group had one of its engineers open 63 cans of food ranging from chicken to corn. The engineer drained the water and weighed the solid food.
Have you ever opened a can of food and found it almost half-full of water? We have, too, and we decided to investigate.
"Across all brands and types of food, the cans held on average about 57 percent of the label's claimed weight in solids," says Consumer Reports.

Dennis is the best host I ever had...His place is magic, I stayed there for almost five weeks and he gave me the feeling to be home...thank you so much again, Dennis!!
If ever you consider to stay in NY , this the perfect place.
The best apartment I have never seen. And Dennis is a great and caring host. I experienced Harlem for the first time and it is something special: the atmosphere, the people and the places around. What are you waiting for? Do not even think: book it if it is available!!!
Roberta (Italy).
Guest room is so beautiful. Photo's are no fake. Pleasant host. Equipment (City Guides, Maps, Descriptions, etc.) where you can work with.
I had such a great time in Harlem Hideaway, the room was fantastic, very cozy, nice and clean. The host was very kind and his hospitality was one of a kind.
Looking forward to coming back real soon!
uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert: super Lage zum Central Park und Subway in die City, alles wie beschrieben, sauber, sehr freundlicher Empfang, immer ein sicheres Gefühl, einfach wunderbar. Vielen Dank an Dennis!!! Wir haben die 10 Tage im Herbst absolut genossen
Notre séjour à NY chez Dennis fût magique. C'était la première fois à NY et c'était parfait. La maison de Dennis est située dans une rue calme et proche du métro. En 15 minutes vous êtes à Time Square! Le logement était génial grâce au soin que Dennis apporte à sa maison et au souci du détail. Tout est vraiment comme sur les photos. Un style colonial trop chic ! A conseiller sans plus attendre !
La habitación, la buena situación en el barrio de Harlem(que es uno de mis barrios preferidos de NY) todo genial, y Dennis el propietario una gran persona, te ayuda en todo lo que necesites a parte de la documentación que ya te tiene preparada nada más llegar ;) No os olvideis de firmar en el muro ;) Genial!!!!
Ohodnoďte tomuto hostiteli i další ubytování
We had a great time in NYC and our stay in Dennis' apartment has contributed to a high extent. Dennis is such a kind person! A candle was lighted when we arrived, we felt like being at home. Dennis introduced the apartment and the surrounding very well to us. He has a helpful collection of tipps from other visitors so you have the opportunity to get insider information. The apartment is well equiped and the surrounding in Harlem is safe. Subway is close by. What else do you need? Thank you so much, Dennis!
We had a brilliant stay at Harlem Hideaway Garden Apartment, ideally located you are just 5 stops away from Time Square by tube allowing you to enjoy a more quite and relax environment than staying downtown.
Dennis is a great host and the flat is ideal for a family.
We would definitely recommend it.
We had 5 perfect days in New York. Staying in Dennis's stylish apartment was great. He is a very pleasant host and had extremly helpful tipps for us. The apartment is conviently located and we felt a bit like New Yorkers in this lovely Harlem neighbourhood.

Beginning in 2006, the population in group quarters (GQ) is included in the ACS. Many types of GQ populations have food stamp distributions that are very different from the household population. The inclusion of the GQ population could therefore have a noticeable impact on the food stamp distribution. This is particularly true for areas with a substantial GQ population. The Census Bureau tested the changes introduced to the 2008 version of the Food Stamp benefits question in the 2006 ACS Content Test. The results of this testing show that the changes may introduce an inconsistency in the data produced for this question as observed from the years 2007 to 2008, see "2006 ACS Content Test Evaluation Report Covering Food Stamps" on the ACS website (www.census.gov/acs).

The Flying Dutchmen are champions of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) for the fifth time in six years, but this year's accomplishment came none too easy.
Coach Bob Ebels' Dutchmen culminated a month-long come-from-behind effort by finishing ahead of season-long frontrunner Tri-State in the final tournament and the final standings by a slim two strokes.
After four conference tournaments the Flying Dutchmen trailed Tri-State by 21 strokes. Hope went on to finish ahead of the Thunder in the next four tournaments, but it wasn't until the season's final round that the Dutchmen could totally erase the deficit.
Hope freshman Tommy Yamaoka of Zeeland, Mich. (Zeeland East HS) captured conference medalist honors heading the field over the season's eight tournaments with an average of 73.8 strokes per 18-hole round. It marks the seventh straight year that a Hope golfer has been the league medalist. Over the past five years, Hope's medalist has been a different golfer each season.
Another Hope freshman, Matt Lapham of Brighton, Mich. (Brighton HS), joined Yamaoka on the All-MIAA team finishing with a 76.0 season average.
Seniors Justin Spyker of Portage, Mich. (Portage Central HS) and Ryan Shedd of Coldwater, Mich. (Coldwater HS) achieved All-MIAA second team honors tying for eighth place in the players standings at 76.4 strokes per round.

Nice! That tamper looks special -- is it a custom?
David (WildBoar's Kitchen)
As a bicycle freak, I absolutely LOVE Chris King's tampers:
And I'd love to get into that espresso madness myself, but I simply cannot afford another addiction (besides my road bike, my mountain bike, and my knives). A friend of mine, who passed away, was an espresso maniac. He served the best espresso I've ever had. He bought his roast unground, had a grinder himself, and a high value espresso machine. He said it took him months to find out the perfect balance (coffee, grinding degree, amount of water, amount of coffee, water temp, water pressure). But the result was simply perfect! His espresso machine looked like you must have studied rocket science, with all those wheels, valves, and so on... Pretty though!
Fortunately I am blessed with 2 REALLY good Cafés/Restaurants where I live. All I can say, one uses Illy, the other uses Hausbrandt and a Cimbali professional machine. I prefer the latter!
We had Chris King hubs on our racing tandem. I had no idea they made tampers.
Oh yeah! Best hubs and headsets out there. I am even considering buying a high-value espresso machine just to have a justification to buy their tamper!
They also offer salt and pepper shakers!
Oh, have a look at their CIELO branded steel frames: awesome!!!
As for tamper I am still more than satisfied with my Torr tamper made here in Germany and my VST baskets. I think 5-6 years also with my ECM Espresso Machine and Mazzer grinder. Best dam investment every single morning I wake for work and start my day on the right cup.
Don't buy Illy and that **** as these big corp brands simply are wasting resources. Fresh coffee + local roaster is the only way to go as coffee is best with in 2-3 days of roasting.
I will post more soon on my blog thebadboystories.com about the wheels, and other extras to the bike. The Kings are really over due for their write up, but I been sort of wanting to do a special write up for them.
Oh yeah dual boiler. I shopped around for close to a year before I took the plunge.
That Expobar is such a bad-ass machine. I had narrowed my choice down between a ECM Technika and the Expobar Brewtus IV. In the end, I ended up not doing anything. I just couldn't justify spending $2k on a machine just for me.
Maybe now that I can roast my own beans I can look into something that a little bit more budget friendly. I guess I should give Craig's List a view.

This time we want 3 backfield stops, 2 INTs and a fumble recovery.......is that too much to ask?
This time we want 3 backfield stops, 2 INTs and a fumble recovery.......is that too much to ask?
They need KP back soon. Brown didn't have a good game. Don't let the deflected pass he intercepted or fumble he picked up fool you.
i think kp will play vs sf
Andre Leadshoes had picked up the coverage and as usual pulled up short........and to those who say Blackburn cannot run he was closer than Leadshoes and had the ball been underthrown was in perfect position to intercept it
Stevie was gracious enough to let the Ol guy off the hook.......Frankly I''d like to see Brown and Philips back there when Philips returns
Last edited by BParcells777; 10-10-2012 at 01:26 PM.
Brown has already admitted he was at fault for the 1st TD pass while Rolle and Blackburn where not to blame. I believe someone else said he was also at fault for the 2nd TD pass. He did ok filling in but did not have a great game.

Tonight I wanted to share this viral video from ASPCA. It shows a cat becoming a hovercat! Some great camera and computer techniques went into this video. And if ABC News Nightline anchor Dan Harris can adopt; you can too! Go to your local shelter and adopt a pet today!
And while we are on the pet topic. This funny photo going around on the internet has gotten everyone's attention. This magazine cover from Tails Magazine shows Rachael Ray with her dog and the reasons why she likes to cook her family and dog. Wait where are the commas? The magazine has come out and said this cover was photo-shopped. But it sure gave everyone a laugh.

This afternoon I captured my first swarm. It was in my front yard in an oak tree about 20ft. up. I just happened to have a hive body ready so I put 5 frames with foundation in it and set it on the ground under the tree. I laid out a tarp and cut the branch down. I shook off the branch into the box and dumped the rest of the bees from the tarp in. It took a couple of tries before I finally got them to go in the box. Now they are hived and under the tree I captured them from.
Now for the questions. Can I move this hive a few hundred feet to where I want it now or should I wait? I planned on opening the hive in a few days and adding the other 5 frames, is this OK? Should I feed this hive seeing how they have no stores? I don't have any surplus honey or frames of brood as I am new and have only hives that were started this year from packages.
Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.

Imma 1337 h4x02 : The super hard but most rewarding 1337 h4x02 guide!
This is my second thread in this forum. :o
xx Next Update: 0.0.4 (Alpha 4) Minor fixes ignored xx
I created this guide in order to help newbies start their lives in the InfoSec area.
Your ideas make this thread better. Don't forget to post them.
No time? A simple thanks to push this thread up is also of help!
Main Goal of this topic is giving the Best page to everyone on this forum or anywhere on the net who wants to start learning!
Remember... "Learning is Living."
TL;DR? Your problem dude!
Now, lets begin:
xx Introduction xx
So you think you can dance? This is a really hard way to go. You can do it much easier, but the easier it becomes the less you will be learning.
I personally believe that If you really want to learn something you should always take the hardest path to your goal.
Again, to make this thread better, I need your help. Please post your ideas and reviews on this guide so I can make it better.
xx Types of Hackers xx
We have three kinds of hackers out there in the world:
White Hat - The good guys... I mean they call them the good guys... sometimes they are the bad guys... They are the ones who protect the services/websites from getting hacked.
Gray Hat - White hat during the day... Black hat during the night... I mean this is the best way to describe them... They are not good and not bad.
Black Hat - Wow, these are the bad guys. They make millions in a week but with a risk of not getting the time to use that money! Well, they hack systems, bank accounts and many other things which are fun for them or $$ is involved in them .
There are more groups, they will be added in the first beta.
Well you might think that Black Hat hackers are the most awesome groups out there... Tell you what... YEAH... but wait... NO!!!! Yes, it is fun... You make millions... But, But... You will think again when I introduce you to Bubba (A character from a book I was reading a few months ago.). Let's say it's not good for now. He will be added in the beta.
But there is one thing that all of the hackers share... and that's "Terminals with black background and green text!"
Anyways, I will be helping you to become a h4x02!
xx LEVEL ONE: BECOME A PROGRAMMER xx
The first thing you should know when you want to become a hacker is a programming language. You might think ow yeah I know I know, I should learn PYTHON! I will smile and say No. Well Python is an awesome language to learn. Very easy. That's exactly why I am saying No to It. If you learn python now you can never become a 1337 h4x02. Why? To be a 1337 h4x02 you need to have complete knowledge on how Computers function and have complete knowledge on a certain OS (Linux, BSD etc.) it is only possible if you know the Ninja Language: Assembly . Python is a high-level programming language but Assembly is a low-level programming language. Wait what? low-level? Okay, take a look at this picture:
Read these quotes:
A programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal that enables a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent of a particular type of computer. Such languages are considered high-level because they are closer to human languages and further from machine languages. In contrast, assembly languages are considered low-level because they are very close to machine languages.
The main advantage of high-level languages over low-level languages is that they are easier to read, write, and maintain. Ultimately, programs written in a high-level language must be translated into machine language by a compiler or interpreter.
The first high-level programming languages were designed in the 1950s. Now there are dozens of different languages, including Ada, Algol, BASIC, COBOL, C, C++, FORTRAN, LISP, Pascal, and Prolog.
A programming language that is once removed from a computer's machine language. Machine languages consist entirely of numbers and are almost impossible for humans to read and write. Assembly languages have the same structure and set of commands as machine languages, but they enable a programmer to use names instead of numbers.
Each type of CPU has its own machine language and assembly language, so an assembly language program written for one type of CPU won't run on another. In the early days of programming, all programs were written in assembly language. Now, most programs are written in a high-level language such as FORTRAN or C. Programmers still use assembly language when speed is essential or when they need to perform an operation that isn't possible in a high-level language.
Okay... Now I hope you understand why I am telling you to learn it. No? Okay,
Assembly is a low-level language and it is very similar to the language that the computer is able to understand. If you get the ability to write in it, Any high-level programming language is a piece of cake for you.
xx LEVEL TWO: LEARN LINUX xx
The Second Thing to learn is Linux. Linux is an Operating System like MS Windows but it is totally Open-Source which means you have access to the code of the OS and you can Edit it and create your own version.
Where can I learn to do that?!!
This will get you started: http://lifehacker.com/5778882/getting-s ... lete-guide
But why Linux?
Look... You might think that Windows is great why should I move on to Linux?
Windows is great. But the main problem of Windows is that it's source is not available to us to edit it and hack it. Let's put it this way, Think that you're a 3-year-old kid. You are inside a small cage probably your own size. This cage gets smaller and smaller for you but there is no way out. You can't even break the cage and come out of it. Wait... you can... If you move on to Linux it is possible! In Linux you're a 3-year-old kid in space! No limits!
I recommend every newbie to use Ubuntu.
Books? <Will be added in 0.0.3c (I have to check my library)>
Now It's time to get wild!!
xx LEVEL THREE : DO IT THE HACKER'S WAY xx
Yeah! that's it! Wait... No. I'm jokin... keep on reading:
Now there are two things you should read now:
http://securityreliks.securegossip.com/ ... eginnings/
You need to setup a small lab in your Computer.
Download VirtualBox.
Download These OSes and install them using VirtualBox:
Ubuntu 1x.xx (Latest version)
Ubuntu 10.10
Windows XP
Windows 7
Set up your small lab using VirtualBox and the OSes mentioned above. Wait? You don't know how? Google them for god's sake!
And take a look at this:
http://blog.rootcon.org/2012/02/10-pent ... s-you.html
This list shows 10 of the Best Penetration Testing Linux Distributions you might want to use to hack. These Distros are geared with the best tools to help you hack.
Which one is the best? I think BackBox 2.05 Reason? Faster, No unnecessary tools.
But keep in mind that most of the people use BackTrack. Why? Ask them.
Okay, now you should get your hands on some free tutorial mats out there.
First thing to do is to hack your own Wireless Router. Google it. There are many videos availabe on Youtube.
After that learn Metasploit. You can use SecurityTube.net megaprimers to do so or search Metasploit Unleashed in google.
As Skyler said: "There is none. Thats okay. You need to learn to revel in the successes! Become a sponge and just absorb everything. When you read something you don't understand, dont fret. Just remember it, let it serve as a placeholder, and learn about it when you can."
And Remember... GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND (At least for now!).
Well, this thing will get updated only if I see that it's useful to you. No feedback or anything from you, This thing will be deserted forever.
0.0.3 - Major Update 1
0.0.2c - Upcoming Updates Added , It took me around a day removed!

text: So I just put in a new boost gauge on my 02 wrx wagon. There was one already in the car so just swapped lines. Took the car out afterwards and now the gauge is only reading 7 psi at most (was boosting a 14-15 before). Thought something happened to the gauge line so blocked it off at the t junction in the engine bay to disable the gauge and tried it out again. Still no boost. Now I am lost. So long story short boost abruptly went from 14-7 at best. Any ideas where to start. I am new to Subarus (long time bmw audi guy) and don't know where to start. Thanks in advance guys
