Nice hypothesis, you may say, but is it true? The heart of the scientific method lies in that skeptic's simple question. A merely plausible explanation of what we observe will not suffice, nor will a hypothesis bolstered only by some expert's endorsement. Modern science is wonderfully egalitarian, and it demands proof that all can see: measurements, objects or evidence of some kind. Scientific hypotheses must be both well-defined and firmly supported, preferably by several different types of data.
If a hypothesis meets these requirements, does this mean it is true? No, according to the philosopher Karl Popper, who believed that hypotheses could never be proven true—only false. Frederick Nietzsche claimed that the great charm of hypotheses was that they were refutable. While Nietzsche may be correct in the abstract, my experience suggests that scientists do not gleefully bury hypotheses in which they have invested many years of research.
In the study of human evolution, dueling hypotheses are commonplace because of long-standing, frequently erupting feuds about the interpretation of the fossil record. The field is so argumentative, in part, because the theories reflect directly on the nature and origin of humans. There is immense room for giving and taking offense when the subject is oneself. Too, the primary data of paleoanthropology—fossilized remains of our ancestors and near-relatives—are rare and difficult to obtain. Hence, it is not a simple matter to collect more evidence to clarify or support hypotheses. Fossil hunting requires tremendous knowledge and effort, good organizational skills, substantial grants, and a huge dollop of luck. New theories are, sadly, easier to come by than new primary evidence.
Thus it is a joyous occasion when my paleoanthropologist colleagues appear to resolve one of the most bitterly debated questions in the discipline: the issue of when, where and how modern humans evolved. For simplicity, I use "modern humans" or "recent humans" to denote the species to which I (and all the readers of this magazine) belong, but the formal term is either "anatomically modern Homo sapiens" or "Homo sapiens sapiens." Humans who lived in the past and did not have modern anatomy are often referred to as archaic or primitive.

News & Reviews
"Each year I greet with great pleasure—and a divine delight—another new edition of The Best Buddhist Writing. And 2010, seventh in the series, is no exception. If an anthology is a critical act, The Best Buddhist Writing exemplifies high standards." —Gary Gach, American Book Review
"This excellent anthology embraces a range of issues from Buddhist perspectives, becoming a demonstration of the ongoing and powerful interrelationship between Buddhism and life in the West. According to editor McLeod, Buddhism continues to have influence beyond our awareness, but collections such as this go a long way toward enlightening us." —Library Journal
"How would you like to have a collection of excellent Buddhist writings all in one book for your library? That's exactly what Melvin McLeod and the Shambhala editors have offered up in The Best Buddhist Writing series. This year they have compiled one of their best, and it's not simply Buddhist masters featured." —The Buddhist Blog

Photographers, beauticians give free makeover, portraits
MISSOULA, Mont. - Missoula beauticians and photographers took part in a national movement Saturday to treat needy families to free professional makeovers and photo sessions.
It's called a "Help Portrait, where local photographers and beauticians team up to do free makeover and snap portraits for needy families.
Missoula's Help Portrait was held at the Hellgate Rollergirls Rink, from noon to 5 p.m.
Dana Wheeler, owner of Shear Art Salon and one of the event organizers, said this is the first time Missoula's hosted a Help Portrait, but it won't be the last.
"I think it's been great because there are so many people in our community who can't necessarily get those pictures or get their families together," said Wheeler. "So it's just been so helpful to get everyone to pull together and put whatever differences aside and totally focus on helping our community."

Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?[ Edited ]
I want to buy the Pulse Elite headset because I feel that it is a huge step up from the earlier model headset that I have. I just don't want to spend my money on it if there will be a newer one coming out soon. It's kind of expensive to just have another come out in a couple months. Any info and/or recommendations are appreciated!
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?
Bought mine from Best Buy for $149.99 but I had a giftcard for $25 and $25 in Best Buy reward points so I got it for $100.00. I love mine so far. The only complaint that I have is that the top of the headset is a little uncomfortable so after awhile the top of your head starts to hurt. I fix that by just adjusting it every so often, taking it off then putting it right back on, not a big deal. I also love the fact that is has preset audio settings for different types of games like racing and shooters or stereo if you just want to listen to music.
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?
Also they just launched a bioshock infinite bundle so get bioshock infinite and the Elite headset and you get $20 off.. I passed but not a bad deal also I never saw any mention of a new headset coming out but I had seen where this headset used to be over $200 so yeah.. they are still advertising it in the PlayStation Accessories spot so I would say fear not for at least a year!
Still have yet to get mine should be here April 2nd but from what I looked up it seems to be just what I wanted for the ps3
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?
If you can't afford a pair of Astro A40's or A50's, you should look into the Turtle Beach DXP21's which offer 7.1 Dolby Surround. They are 150.00 headphones dedicated strictly to Audio instead of wireless eating up the cost and Amazon is selling them for 79.00. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0042Y2F76
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?[ Edited ]
I got the pulse head set for christmas and I really like them. They have really great sound and I find them to be comfortable. You just have to correcty adjust them and I can play w/ them on for quite awhile. One thing to keep in mind is that in anyway do not lose the USB dongle that comes with them. I keep mine in the USB port all the time and if you were to lose it they do not sell replacements and w/ out it your head set is useless.
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?
I love mine so far. I never play Dust 514 without it.
I definitely appreciate the lack of wires. The headset comes with an aux cable so I can use it with my phone or vita and the usb receiver works on computers too. I don't know much about turtle beach headsets, so I won't say anything against them. I've heard good things about them, though.
Re: Sony PULSE Elite Editon Headset?
Yeah it does lack Dolby 7.1 surround sound but I don't even have 7.1 surround sound as it is and am not that big of a audiophile to care, and since I just have the regular tv speakers going on it should sound amazing compared to what I am used to plus the whole rumble pack thing reviewed pretty nicely so I think it will be an interesting feature to try out for myself.

text: Ubuntu 64bit 13.04 with ISPConfig 220.127.116.11 I am attempting to convert and already setup server from dovecot to courier-imap so I can use maildrop for delivery. I've removed dovecot and /etc/dovecot and re-run update.php a few times and some messages have been delivered but now I am bumping into this one... note the/var/vmail path is completely wrong, this users real path is /var/vmail/yyyyyy.org/markc where I have moved the original Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} up a level. Apr 10 13:08:14 hp postfix/pipe[5838]: DA29D10065D: to=<[email protected][email protected] For some reason the SENDERS email address is being inserted into the path. The /usr/bin/maildrop is currently a shell script for debugging, it is... Code: ~ cat /usr/bin/maildrop #!/bin/sh (echo $*; id ; env) | logger -p mail.info /usr/bin/maildrop.orig $* ~ ll /usr/bin/maildrop* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 78 Apr 10 13:07 /usr/bin/maildrop -rwsr-xr-x 1 root daemon 196000 Jan 23 23:32 /usr/bin/maildrop.orig Apr 10 13:15:05 hp logger: -d vmail [email protected][email protected][email protected] Anyone have a suggestion what going on here and how to remove the senders address from the path? I did discover I cannot use /etc/courier/maildroprc as a global filter because postfix does not provide the env variables it would normally need so I will have to use a .filter or .mailfilter in each users /var/vmail virtural maildir. My objective it to enable Dspam filtering (via maildrop) because the default Spamassassin rules just suck, barely 80% effective. Perhaps I should investigate how to improve amavis/spamassassin but I figure there may be less pain installing Dspam which I know can work 99% effectively once trained. Also FWIW, /etc/postfix/master.cf still has a reference to dovecot even after it's removed and I've run the update.php script... Code: maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d vmail ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender} [... further down ...] dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DROhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop}

Performance Accelerator Fund
What's New
Secretary Paige writes op-ed on school choice and delivers commencement address at Graduate School of Education at Pepperdine; Florida Virtual School will be included in the state's K-12 funding formula.
Innovations in the News
Four programs will bring 300 newly qualified teachers to some of New Orleans' struggling schools this fall; plus more information on alternative routes to teacher certification, charter schools, magnet schools and virtual schools.
Performance Accelerator Fund Invests in Entrepreneurial Projects to Improve Achievement
School districts are under pressure to improve student achievement. Many districts, however, are ill equipped to do so. In response to this need, the NewSchools Venture Fund announced in May that it has created the Performance Accelerator Fund. Following the philosophy that entrepreneurs with both business knowledge and education expertise can be agents of change, the Performance Accelerator Fund invests in projects, led by such entrepreneurs, that increase the capacity of school systems to produce high levels of student achievement.
"No school will succeed without great people," according to fund leaders. Funded projects must focus on developing people who know how to teach and lead in the current educational system. The Performance Accelerator Fund has already raised $20 million to invest in creating tools to enable these educators to make informed, data-driven decisions and improve instruction.
The Performance Accelerator Fund targets four high impact areas:
- Human Capital. The fund will support innovations in teacher and principal recruitment, teacher certification and professional development.
- Performance Tools. The fund will provide easy-to-use information management systems and clear reports, as well as in-class assessment tools that teachers can use to monitor student learning and gauge progress.
- Supplemental Educational Services. The fund will invest in programs that target after-school and summer school services for underserved children.
- Research-Based Curricula. The fund will invest in research-based curricular initiatives in areas of high need such as English language learner support, special education programs and Advanced Placement programs for underserved high school students.
Note: The formation of the featured innovation, Performance Accelerator Fund, was announced May 12, 2003. The program, therefore, has no evaluation data. The description of the fund answers the question, "What is it?" not "What works?"
What's New
From the U.S. Department of Education
Secretary Rod Paige explained the need for school choice to improve urban public schools, especially those in the District of Columbia, in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. To read an excerpt of this article, please see, http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oii/index.html?src=oc (July 29)
Secretary Rod Paige was the commencement speaker at the Graduate School of Education, Pepperdine University. He emphasized the importance of having quality teachers in the classroom, including those entering by alternative paths: "But let us have the courage to acknowledge that quality of teachers is born in training, in experience, and wisdom, and not in bureaucratic ticket-punching."
The Florida State Legislature recently changed the way Florida Virtual School (FLVS) will be funded. FLVS will now be included in the State's funding formula for K-12 education. For a press release on this change, and a description of the higher accountability measures required of the virtual school. (July 23)

Alternative Routes to Teacher Certification
Four programs will bring 300 newly qualified teachers to some of New Orleans' struggling schools this fall. The use of these programs will help the city meet No Child Left Behind's "highly qualified teachers" requirements. [More-The Times-Picayune (New Orleans) (7/30)
Serena Rowan has been an Army drill sergeant. Now, she is a special education teacher. She became a teacher through OII's Troops to Teachers program that has been given a boost in the last two years. [More-CNN] (Aug. 4)
Charter Schools
Chiles Academy, a charter school on the campus of Atlantic High School in Port Orange, FL, was started last summer to keep more teenage mothers in school so that they can graduate. Through a combination of classes at the school and online courses offered by Florida Virtual School (see above), one student received her diploma a year sooner than expected.

Reviews of this property
Lovely place for - in our case - winter sports. Very central location in Kitzbuhel, accommodating 4 people.
Apartment is in great location, quiet and well equipped. Bianca also kindly arranged pickup and drop off from train station for us. Only negatives were that oven didn't work (hot plates did). and there's a lot of stuff in cupboards like shoes and empty bottles etc. that could be cleared out. The decor and furniture is fairly basic but overall, it was fine.
apartment a stone's throw from the center and with all the comforts of possibili.Ritornerò sicuro.ottima choice.
appartamento a due passi dal centro e con tutti i confort possibili.Ritornerò di sicuro.ottima scelta.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very nice place and location. Great contact and organisation (useful information written down and left in the apartment - by the way recommended restaurant was fabulous). What else to say... Just visit! :)
Perfect for 2 persons, it is just like what you see in the pictures. The bed is spacious enough for 2. Quiet street, quiet building. Clean and comfortabel.
Guten Tag allerseits!
I'm writing this review with great pleasure since my stay at the cozy apartment of Mrs. Bianca, in Vienna, was simply unforgettable.
The flat is functional and clean and it's situated in a perfect location both for practical reasons - supermarkets, pharmacies, taxis, transport - and for tourist reasons - as a matter of fact, the proximity to a good two subways (U-bahn) guarantees to be able to reach the city center, as well as all the place of cultural interest, in about 10 minutes - .
Last, but not least, Mrs. Bianca is a very kind, available, careful and punctual person: she is a really good host!
In other words, my advice to everyone is to consider absolutely this welcoming apartment and.. let's visit Vienna at least once in a lifetime because Austria is a wonderful Country and Vienna is a wonderful city !!
Bis bald!!
We stayed for two nights with our kids (6 and 9) in Bianca's apartment - and are very happy. Nice quiet location, good transport tethered enough space for four people, uncomplicated communication, everything you could need ... Next time we stay longer and can recommend hostess and apartment reservation. Thanks!
Wir waren für zwei Nächte mit unseren Kindern (6 u 9) in Biancas Wohnung - und sind sehr zufrieden. Nette ruhige Lage, verkehrstechnisch sehr gut angebunden, genug Platz für vier Leute, unkomplizierte Kommunikation, alles da was man braucht ... Beim nächsten Mal bleiben wir länger und können Gastgeberin und Wohnung vorbehaltlos empfehlen. Danke!
Great service! Many, many thanks to the supervisor! The apartment is very well located near the center and close to subway and tram. Nevertheless, was very pleasantly quiet. The infrastructure around it is covered with fine coffees and supermarkets.
The only shortcoming is that the windows only go in the small courtyard.
Super Service ! Vielen, vielen Dank an die Betreuerin ! Die Wohnung liegt sehr gut in der Nähe des Zentrums und nah an U-Bahn und Straßenbahn. Trotzdem war sehr angenehm leise. Die Infrastruktur drumrum ist prima mit Kaffees und Supermärkten besetzt.
Einziges kleines Manko ist, das die Fenster nur in den kleinen Innenhof gehen.
Everything worked perfectly. The apartment is just as comfortable and modern as it looks in the pictures. On foot one is in a very short time in the center.
Highly recommended!
Es hat alles perfekt gepasst. Die Wohnung ist genau so gemütlich und modern, wie sie auf den Bildern aussieht. Zu Fuß ist man in kürzester Zeit im Stadtkern.
Sehr empfehlenswert!

text: I read an interesting article regarding the small hive beetle life cycle. I have not had to deal with this pest on any level to date. I believe our relative humidiy in my area might not be the best environment for them to reproduce. The article states that once the beetle invades the host colony they hide in cracks to protect themselves while some honeybees assume the responsibility of "guards" to keep them confined to their jail. It is interesting thought that the mature beetle actually manages to induce the bees to feed them through physical communication. http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/...ive_beetle.htm

This Week In Sex: Millennial Sex, Major Turn-Ons

All the sex news you need to know: This week we tackle the sex lives of Millennials, major turn-ons, pickup magic pranks and more.

Clean Bed Sheets a Major Turn-On for Women & Men
What gets people in the mood for sex? Do the major turn-ons differ between the sexes? A new poll tried to answer these questions by asking 2,000 people for their top 10 turn-ons. These answers were then collated into a top 10 list for each sex, and there are some surprising differences and some surprising similarities. The biggest surprise might be the number two turn-on for both men and women: Clean sheets!
Yes, it seems fresh bedding is an aphrodisiac and the best way to set up a sexy atmosphere. Find out more and see the rest of the results of the poll at Mirror.co.uk.
The Myths of Millennials' Sex Lives
The media loves reporting on Millennials, the generation born between the early 1980s and 2000, with a large amount of the coverage in the handwringing vein of "oh the wild, shiftless kids of today."
The sex lives of Millennial young adults are particularly singled out, with many pundits telling us that the bright young things have abandoned committed relationships; Generation Y is all about a culture of sexting, casual sex and immediate gratification. A new article on Huffington Post, "3 Things We're Tired of Hearing about Millennial Sex," tackles the prominent media clichés about the sex lives of Millennials by countering the tropes with actual research. Read it here on HuffingtonPost.com.
Combining Magic Tricks & Pickup Lines: Prank Video
Two guys roam a college campus and try to pick up random women by combining lame magic tricks with cheesy pickup lines in this funny prank video. We admire them for their bravery, not only for daring to make fools of themselves but also for risking bodily harm from annoyed boyfriends.
Obviously, none of the attempted pickups work (the most they get is a kiss on the cheek), but this particular method of meeting women is really not supposed to generate results. That said, we really wish we could do some of the tricks in the video as we're pretty sure we'd clean up at the club with a few magical techniques at our disposal.
Men Like Looking at Women's Chests…& So Do Other Women
Science reached another important breakthrough this week with the discovery that men look at women's breasts more than at women's faces. Okay, perhaps this isn't that surprising.
What is: An unanticipated discovery is women's gazes are drawn not to the faces of other women, but to other women's chests as well. These findings come from experiments where researchers hooked both men and women up to devices which tracked the participants' eye movements while showing them photos of women. The gaze of both sexes focused more on the breasts and bodies of the girls in the pictures than on their faces. Get the full story at USAToday.com.
It seems many men have at least some anxiety about the size of their member, but recent research is showing that most men have nothing to worry about. It turns out that the majority of guys are at a size well within the average. Plus, women don't worry much about it anyway. Find out more in this article all about "penis shame" at LiveScience.com.

What You Need:
2 c. chopped fresh basil leaves
2 sprigs of parsley, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/2 c. pine nuts
3/4 to 1 c. olive oil (I don't like my pesto very oily so I use a little less than 3/4 c.)
1/2 grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (you can use regular Parmesan but, trust me, Reggiano is so much better!)
1/2 tsp. pepper
What You Do:
1. Combine all the ingredients in the blender for a few seconds. If it's too dry and not blending well, add a bit more olive oil.
2. Push everything down with a rubber spatula then blend again for a few seconds more. Continue doing this until all the ingredients are well-combined and the sauce is fairly thin but not liquified. You want it to have a gel-like consistency.
3. Cook whatever pasta you're using according to the directions provided. When you drain the pasta, reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta water.
4. Return the pasta to the pot and add pesto. If the pesto is too thick or not mixing well, add the reserved starchy pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Serve with a little grated Reggiano on top and enjoy!

In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Workout Tips
This section of our health library is devoted to – you guessed it – workout tips! Learn about all things fitness in these articles that are designed to help you get up and get moving, regardless of your physical ability.
When it comes to thinking outside of the box for your next workout, cycling may be a good way for you to start exploring the sites, and the health benefits of this intense, but relaxing activity.
"After being cooped up in the office all day, a cycling workout is one of the most effective ways to burn calories, and to enjoy the outdoors," says Sean Wells, a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and the fitness expert at BistroMD. "In addition to being a great way to burn calories, cycling is also a very fun and fulfilling physical activity."
To help you pedal your way toward a better body, our fitness expert explains how to properly utilize the benefits of cycling, while showing you how to keep things interesting.
Take it Outside
Although spinning may sound ideal for the typical business person after a day at the office, getting on your bike and pedaling outdoors can help you develop your ideal shape, while stimulating your sense of adventure.
"Cycling outdoors is a great way to burn calories and to get some much-needed fresh air," says Sean. "Cycling can be done along a Greenway, along the beach, or through trails. This makes the ride much more interesting and refreshing."
When practicing a cycling workout outdoors, you can make the activity even more challenging by steering around trees, pumping over hills, and weaving around various objects.
This pushes your balance and increases the difficulty of your workout.
The Beauty of Utilization
"Besides being effective at burning calories and toning certain muscles, a cycling workout can be utilized in almost every aspect of your life," says Sean.
Society today is based around one key thing: convenience. Even though a car may be your most reliable and convenient source of transportation, get around town by cycling to your destinations every once in a while.
"Americans fall victim to the convenience of urban sprawl and to suburban lifestyle too much," says Sean. "Instead of constantly relying on a car, consider biking to work or using your bike to run errands if you live within a reasonable distance."
By biking to work, you will take away the stress of worrying about when to fit in your daily workout. You have to get to work somehow, so why not cycle to get there?
No Special Skills Required
"The other great thing about a cycling workout is that it doesn't require special skills to get great results," says Sean. "You also don't need to buy expensive equipment to reach your fitness goals."
If you feel more comfortable cycling indoors, then a stationary bike may be ideal for you. They aren't expensive, don't require a lot of room, and are still a very convenient way to incorporate exercise into your daily routine.
"Having a stationary bike in your home is a great excuse for you to incorporate more leisurely activities into your workout," says Sean. "While cycling, many people can still watch TV, read a book, or watch a movie. You can participate in leisurely activities while still breaking a sweat."
Cycling is also a great way to introduce your body to other core exercises as you start to develop your endurance over time.
"Once you master your cycling workout, you can easily start incorporating other exercises into your routine," says Sean. "Over time, your endurance will grow stronger, allowing for continuous bouts of cardio exercises and more strength-training activities."
Overall, a cycling workout can help you burn calories, as well as give you a healthy workout that requires no special skills, and that is very effective.

Take "The Little Engine That Could," remove the hero's underdog charm and the inevitability of a happy ending, and you've got the saga of the California bullet train as the project nears the scheduled start of construction next month.
It thinks it can, it thinks it can. Planners think it can get over a mountain of legal, financial and procedural worries, the latest being a red flag about safety and quality in a major contractor's proposal. Gov. Jerry Brown and other supporters think it still can become the 21st century jewel of the state's transportation system, carrying residents and tourists between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 2 hours 40 minutes.
Who else thinks so?
The high-speed rail project born of state voters' approval of Proposition 1A in 2008 now seems to be powered solely by the determination of proponents with reputations and jobs on the line. The only happy ending in sight may be one in which the project's problems stop it while there's still time to turn back. The whole idea would slam to a halt if Californians were allowed to vote again — as, increasingly clearly, they should be.
There are open legal questions.
Arguments were to begin last week in a lawsuit against the California High-Speed Rail Authority by Kern County, claiming current plans violate Prop. 1A's requirement that all money and environmental approvals be in place before construction begins. Disputes continue over which state and federal bodies have authority over the United States' first bullet-train project.
There are unsettled economic questions.
What is the whole thing going to end up costing, and will it make money? The original $33 billion price tag rose to nearly $100 billion before being pared to its current $68.5 billion. Is vital private financing coming? Without an updated business plan showing sufficient revenue, it's hard to entice investors. Is the needed federal money on its way? Powerful California Republicans in the House vow to block federal funding beyond $3.3 billion already committed.
The discussion of finances leads to talk of safety.
These concerns come from reports that Tutor Perini Corp. was selected for the first 29 miles of rail construction because it's the lowest of the five bidders (at $985 million), even though its proposal earned the lowest technical scores for safety and design. The High-Speed Rail Authority shifted its priorities to emphasize low cost Sylmar-based Tutor Perini over two European firms.
Not that taxpayers should complain about efforts to contain costs. But there must be no scrimping on safety and quality for a 220-mph train. If the state has to sacrifice quality to make the bullet train affordable, that's another sign it's unaffordable.
The Tutor Perini contract is scheduled for final approval at the High-Speed Rail Authority's meeting Thursday in Sacramento, and Californians should tell these officials to slow down.
Time is running out to put the brakes on the bullet train that shouldn't.

text: I have a 1997 GMC Suburban. There's been a problem with acceleration for about 6 months. Basically, truck start fine, no hesitation. Idles fine. Sitting in park and revving up the motor it sounds fine. When I'm going low speeds of 20-30 MPH the truck runs fine. but then when I try to accelerate, it sputters and cuts out (never dies) until I release the pedal and then it runs fine again. When I start the truck, the fuel pump has gotten louder, and now while its running the whining the fuel pump makes kind of goes up and down in pitch. I have replaced the fuel filter, newer plugs, wires, rotor. I took it to Autozone and hooked it up to the code reader and it says it's running lean on bank 1 and bank 2 (engine light is on). Truck has 168,000 miles. I think it might be the fuel pump, but I have also heard it could be the O2 sensors. I can't afford to replace everything right now so I was going to do the fuel pump myself this weekend but wanted to make sure that was the problem. Has anyone heard of this situation before? Thanks for any help!!

Mealtime is Important
How many times have you cooked dinner only to have your child tell you, I don't like that! It is a common theme in many families...it doesn't matter whether Mom or Dad fixed the meal.. our children don't hesitate to tell us their true feelings. I can remember that many times I had even prepared dinner thinking I was fixing my children's favorite foods. But, guess what.....they didn't agree.
Dinner is one of the most important times in a family's day. It is the time to gather together for a meal, but more importantly it is a time to just be together. Whether you child eats the meal is really not the important part....I know may be shaking your head in disagreement, but it really is not about the food, it is about being together.
The longer I think about it.. the more I have come to understand this. One of my patients recently told me that she had made her child's favorite, macaroni and cheese. When he (all of 3 years old) sat down for the meal he looked at his parents and announced....I prefer Panera. (that should be a TV ad). How can that not devastate you the parent that fixed the meal? But, don't let it. Tell your child that you are just happy to be together to talk and enjoy one another....don't let their food choices ruin the meal or turn the meal into a food argument. It is not worth it, and we parents all need to remember that our children will not starve if they miss a meal.
I think meal preparation for a family is somewhat analogous to having a dinner party. When you invite guests to dinner they don't ask you what you are cooking or planning on serving before they accept your invitation. They come to dinner and if by chance they don't like what you have prepared, they don't announce, I prefer Panera, they just fake it. They may push the food around their plate while continuing the dinner conversation, or eat a few bites, but they don't hurt your feelings by discussing dinner selections. Those are the social graces that we are teaching our own children when we sit down together for a family meal.
One of the best pieces of advice that I read one day was your job as a parent is to provide food (preferably healthy) for your family and their job is to decide if they are going to eat it. Sounds simple enough, but it is often difficult not to personalize meal time. But don't.....over the years they really do grow to like your food, and one day they even ask if they can come to dinner!

The rumors are unconfirmed, but it appears MV Augusta will have a German partner soon, as Daimler is in talks to buy a minority stake of that venerable Italian company. As you'll recall, MV was owned by Harley-Davidson for two years, did nothing with the brand, then handed it back on a silver platter to the Castiglioni family two years later...strangely, the same family who took Aermacchi from H-D's hands, decades prior. When Harley dumped MV in 2010, they paid all that company's debt as part of the deal, reportedly losing many Millions in the process. MV Agusta has been on shaky ground since, but has an excellent engine, chassis, and styling, and does well in World Superbike racing. The financial strength of Daimler could be a real godsend to the small Italian company. So, what's up with German auto companies buying Italian motorcycle brands?

Playboy.com's Exclusive Interview with House of Lies Star: Don Cheadle
Playboy.com's exclusive interview with House of Lies Star: Don Cheadle
Known for his critically acclaimed role in Hotel Rwanda, Don Cheadle is ready to bring the television career he left in the early 2000's back to life. Starring alongside television veterans Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), Ben Schwartz (Parks & Recreation), and Australian actor Josh Lawson (The Librarians), the dark comedy House of Lies aims to give viewers an amusing look into the high stakes world of management consulting. Packed with raunchy sex scenes, a star studded guest line up and no shortage of witty banter, House of Lies will no doubt be one of the biggest television hits of 2012.
We had the chance to sit down with Don to discuss his role as the lewd and crude Marty Kaan, an upper class business man who struggles to keep control of his family, sex life and coworkers while securing the latest business ventures his team has taken on.
Playboy.com: Tell us a bit about your character, Marty Kaan. From what we've seen this guy has an insanely persuasive way with words be it in the bedroom, a strip club or solidifying a business deal.
Cheadle: He's a bit of a mess, but it's the kind of mess that is fun to watch week in and week out to see what kind of things he gets into. He's in this business because he's good at it and has the gift of gab. Basically a lot of these guys who are in this kind of business are a kind of con artist; they are really good at figuring out ways to manipulate situations and Marty is well suited for that.
Playboy.com: The characters were written in a way that skew typical gender roles and the parts they play in relationships one would typically see on television. For example, your character Marty is more understanding with his sons' life choices, Kristen Bell's character Jeannie is a business woman with a silver tongue who is not above playing dirty with the boys and your ex-wife and mother to your son is sort of an untrustworthy wild card.
Cheadle: Showtime and the writers have made the script very eclectic. House of Lies has a real kind of grown up sensibility to it. We all wanted to push boundaries with this character as opposed to keeping Marty generic. Fortunately Matthew Carnahan, the one who created the show, was down for that so it's been a lot of fun and we've developed a very fresh approach to a world [management consulting] that we don't really know that much about.
Playboy.com: The opening scene, where we find your character naked and face deep in a woman's buttocks, must have been quite the surprise for you to read on the first page of the script. It's quite the risqué idea to usher in a television show.
Cheadle: I just read it on a page and thought, "Oh man, okay." When I put the script down I started to think about how I would have to hit the gym a lot more. When we were on set, I just had to act like I'm not me and take my clothes off. I just said to myself, "Let's do this!" It's still uncomfortable, but you know… [Laughs]
Playboy.com: Marty's life is obviously pretty hectic but he also encompasses some of the Playboy lifestyle; hard worker, at the top, good with charming the ladies, not afraid to be open about his forward thinking. Was there anyone you drew inspiration from while developing this character's attitude and mannerisms?
Cheadle: The show is based off of a book written by Martin Kihn called House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time. While we were filming, Martin Kihn would come in to give us a lot of input on how these guys work and the lonely place they find themselves because of their nomadic jobs. They're on the road all of the time and have all of these fractious relationships outside of the work place, the only place that they know what they're doing. So he (Martin Kihn) wasn't really a role model but that book really gave a lot of insight to the way these guys operate.
Playboy.com: It's a good thing that the script was picked up by Showtime since the episodes are heavily littered with sex, drugs and alcohol.
Cheadle: While it has all of that stuff that we all have fun watching, I hope viewers watch because it's an area of the world that we've never seen before. I didn't know anything about these guys before this show and how they operate. It's been a lot of fun learning about all of this stuff that has been going on in our world that the general public didn't really know about.
Playboy.com: The first episode seems to be so topically fitting with what is going on in America today regarding the big banks and our spiraling economy. By the end of the first episode I was cheering for you guys because your quick and creative thinking landed you the deal, but then I had this pang of realization that your management consulting team are in on what's collapsing our economy too.
Cheadle: Yeah, the characters are sort of drafting off these guys that are doing all of this stuff that is pure corporate mal-treason. But I think it's very Greek the way that it comes back to bite them you know? Everybody ends up suffering by the end result and, like in a Greek way, it's not direct but someone always ends up paying the price for something.
Playboy.com: The characters in the first few episodes also treat procuring sex from people the same as they deal with management consulting.
Cheadle: It's basism [sic] right? It's a way of not having to deal with yourself and to get involved with something that is tactual. Sex is a thing that you think you can understand…that usually ends up kind of going a little awkward which the characters keep getting mixed up in. The business they work in is a way to manipulate and control people's judgments and it's kind of hard to turn that off sometime when you're trying to be a normal everyday person.
Playboy.com: Like the relationship between Marty and his ex-wife…
Cheadle: Exactly! [Laughs] And who knows where that is going to go. They just need to give it up but the both of them are just so controlling and they also have their kid together so I guess she isn't going anywhere soon.
Playboy.com: Do you want to touch on the character of your son Roscoe? His flamboyant nature seems like quite the feat for Marty to deal with.
Cheadle: Roscoe is basically teaching Marty that he can't control anything; he has to figure out on his own how to deal with this kid without the tricks he uses at work. He doesn't know if Roscoe doing these things to get a rise out of him, to get him to pay more attention to him or if it's real and from the heart. Marty doesn't know at this point and kids go through stuff like this and you know it's hard for someone like Marty to handle it without having full control over the situation.
Playboy.com: What is it like working with Kristen Bell, Ben Schwartz and Josh Lawson? It's definitely an eclectic cast.
Cheadle: Great actors all of them, we have a lot of fun on this show. We improv a lot and tons of that stuff finds its way into the film cut which is great because whenever you're in a situation like this, and you have a lot of people that can play off the work the writers are doing, it's a real nice to have a fluent back and forth. We're lucky to have a nice, cool, creative team. We also have a lot of guests that are coming on like Griffin Dunne, Gregg Germann and Richard Schiff. I'm happy they were able to put a lot of interesting people on the show. And the actor Josh Lawson is actually huge in Australia; he's a newcomer here but a lot of people know him back in his hometown.
Playboy.com: What is it like working with Glynn Turman? He is quite the legend!
Cheadle: Glynn is a prince. He's been doing this forever you know, he played the original role of Travis Younger in Raisin in the Sun on Broadway like…wow. Just to have him there on set really enriched everything. His leadership as someone who has been working professionally for this long is amazing.
Playboy.com: When we saw his name on the list of actors appearing on House of Lies, we were quite intrigued.
Cheadle: He has a lot of fun on the show. He's another one that glad to be here working on such a great project. Glynn is so happy about what kind of work we're able to do with this show. We're lucky that everybody shows up with this and it's great that everyone is all so committed to this show we're lucky because that doesn't always happen.
To read more about House of Lies go to Sho.com and be sure to tune in for the series premiere Sunday at 10 PM ET/PT on Showtime.

Null sessions in XP
Anyways, I have an unpatched XP with no service pack running as a virtual machine and another running XPsp3 where I test from.
I didnt have an any trouble setting up a null session as it told me it was set up successfully. However, it did take some work to get user2sid to work remotely...it always told me the user did not exist, even though the previous step set up the null session and ports 137 and 445 were both open. It did seem to work once I put both machines in the same workgroup.
However, I then tried dumpsec to get an enumerated list, but I haven't been able to get that to work. I set up the null session as before and can use the net use command and user2sid remotely, but after connecting to the same machine in dumpsec it fails to retrieve a list of users...am i doing something wrong? Is dumpsec broken for XP? I tried to find some other enum tools that were mentioned in my book, but I cant even find any to download. The one enum.exe download i found was corrupted, tried searching for 4getacct as mentioned in my book, but the only thing pulled up by google wwas references to the chapter from the book I'm reading.
I also checked the registry settings, which were still the defaults. Restrictanom was set to 0 and restrictanomsam was set to 1. Tried changing this to 0 as well to see if that would fix the issue with dumpsec but still no luck...
So...anyone have any ideas? Is it worth the trouble to even try to get this to work? Can i still use this in real life or just need to know the idea for the CEH?

I am bringing 150 hives through from MS in January for my first trip to almonds. Anything I should do or have or watch out for to make sure getting in goes smoothly?
I am bringing 150 hives through from MS in January for my first trip to almonds. Anything I should do or have or watch out for to make sure getting in goes smoothly?
Make sure that your bottom tier of pallets are as clean as possible. No plants, dirt, cocoons, insects, etc. Those bottom pallets are generally the only ones they look at. Good luck.
-Rob Bliss
All you can really do is make sure they are as clean of ANY debris or any living creature other than honeybees as you possibly can and make sure you are there during a week day, if there are any questions approval will have to come from Sacramento and they operate weekdays 9 to 5 (I think). It dosent hurt to be standing over the shoulder of the inspector as well. Needles has been notorious for being a difficult entry point but last year it seemed that other places were starting to get more difficult as well. That's about all you can really do, after that you are at the mercy of the whims of the inspector.

..... or it really helps to have the RIGHT truck drivers at times. Not that anybody on this thread would know.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
Well I will be the driver. Thanks for the reply's I will see if we can get a hose when loading and spray the bottoms down good. Anyone leave the net partially open so there are bees flying around? seems like most ppl want to stay as far away as possible.
Don't do that. These folks deal with lots and lots of bees. Keep your load as tight and as neat and visible to them as possible. They are going to want a physical address for their destination and a contact number to call. Dont be surprised if they pull the nets loose on the bottom for a better look. If you are clean and neat you will, most likely, be just fine.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
I lift the bottom pallet to a comfortable working height with a forklift and use a stiff hand brush to remove the debris. Quick and never any problems--been doing it for 10 years now.
That will probably work if they are coming directly from North Dakota but if they are coming from down south you need to make sure there are no ants (or anything else) between the hives. We had a load held up once for almost three days over a larvae from a common pine beetle found in all 50 states they found it by using a knife to dig in some rotten wood in a pallet. Since then we handle each hive and place them on cleaned pallets with no visible rot, it is probably overkill but I dont want any phone calls from a port of entry. We thought that a RIFA certification from a Texas inspector might help but the California folks ignore the papers and do what they please. All the silliness that goes on there costs us days and days of really hard work.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
I have heard stories like that and want to do what I can to avoid them.
Use the secret back roads
Plant Hardiness Zone 6B, 5300 ft., Bee Zone A/B, Proverbs 24:13
I brush what is on the outside of the wood off; never thought about what might be "in" the wood! Expertise identifying insects and other invertebrates is hard to find and it tends to be highly specialized when you do find it.
I brought in some hives with no problem. No netting was used and they ushered us though real quick. All the hives were on new pallets.
Had a load get held three days because they took that long to figure out the larva was a wax moth larva from a empty super we put on a strong hive. 40 hives died in thd heat. Two years ago with all hives on new pallets we were refused entry when two sugar ants were found at the reno station in 45 degree weather. I had a rifta inspection in Florida and were suppose to be able to enter with 5 ants and two could be fire ants. They informed me I could take the truck south 500 miles and get it washed or return to Florida as they had changed the rules since I left Florida. I was talking to head guy in Sacramento..asked how much a kickback he was getting and didn't they have sugar ants in CA. After I used very colorful language of any word you have heard and some you may not gave heard I can't put here and then I told him I was going to be on a plane and at his office the next day and some more things I cant replete here my truck was across the birder in 5 minutes. i firmly believe its a money racket...and a political red tape to justify jobs. 6 years ago a load was being held next to me because of beetles. When I infromed them they wete in all hived and wete flying thru the net into other loads they informed me that beetles dont fly. How do you regulate something you know nothing about? This was the head guy. They are a joke and money racket! All a political game and hardship on us. Yep I'm politically incorrect a d a rebel...but I got my bees in!
Wow! Hearing you guys, I sure am glad I am in CA
His Hive Honey Farm - Do all for His glory!
Beware of slugs and any hitch hiker. Put your best pallets on the truck leave the old ones at home etc. Less you can give them to complain about the better.
My wife had a Cockatiel on her shoulder once and she had to turn back and find a place to board it while she was visiting. Told her she should have left it home.
Thats amazing, they will let thousands of illegals in CA but not a truck load of bees!! I could see if pallets contained Fire Ant nests, but a couple ants here and there or a grub?? Its not like those insects cant get across the border on their own someday.........Africanized bees come to mind.........oh, and wolves!!!
And you guys are right.........all the uppers in the legislation of CA are looking for hand outs, imagine how easy it would be to pass inspection with a "donation" to the head inspectors before you ship your bees!!
Coyote Creek Bees
[QUOTE=EastSideBuzz;880230]You dont have to be kidding, i'd rather be living in Washington then here!! The taxes are high, gas is high, registration is high, housing is high and income is medium. Im surprised they havnt come up with a fart tax yet.........wait, I think they tried that with the dairys already but got shut down.......you know, "Happy Cows come from California"!!Really, You can say that with a strait face with your states government taxes etc you want to stay there.? Just kidding it is a nice place to visit when it is cold and wet up here.
Coyote Creek Bees
Dont forget to check your bees !!!! shipping dead hives or weak hives will have you heading home without a contract .... ..strong 6+ frames of bees min. anything less will not get paid for but you still have to pay for trucking
Doing the Right things Right
A friend of mine has a set of new pallets, or pressure washed clean pallets to move hives onto before loading. Then the next set are cleaned too, and so on until all the loads are ready.
Don't forget to pay your CA Income Tax.
Mark Berninghausen
hi i am a retired truck driver, and a small beekeeper,want to get bigger. got 40 hives right now. but about cal, they do not like any dirty truck, and your log book and paper work best be in order. have a great day

Car people are good people. That is not to say all people who have cars are good people, because a drive through any urban traffic system will make it obvious some car owners are idiots.
I'm talking about the people who build their lives around cars - clubs, the motorsport fraternity, even the younger generation with their modified imports and those old buggers with their classic machines and hour-long stories about how they found a matching set of original wheel nuts in a barn.
It's what car people can achieve when their minds are put to getting something done. Whether it's helping someone fix their car, organising an event or getting involved in things in the wider community, when car folk want to get it done, it gets done.
This was screamingly obvious at last weekend's Concours d'Elegance in Auckland, with clubs working like clockwork to make the event a good one. This is repeated almost every weekend, from one end of the country to the other.
At these events I find it particularly interesting seeing how well these hardened veterans of the club scene treat newbies with "silly" questions.
I spent a few of my formative years around the Austin-Healey club's events as a result of my late mother's Sprite habit and thus asked more than my fair share of silly questions, and hardly ever got a condescending response.
Another area where car people excel is in raising money for charity, and there's always a few examples of motorheads selflessly raising cash for underfunded charities without complaint (as long as there's a cold beer afterwards).
The Great British Car Rally kicks off at Auckland Domain tomorrow, marking the return of a great event that has been resurrected by British High Commissioner Vicki Treadell. It will make its way down to Christchurch, raising money for four deserving charities along the way. To check out some amazing British machines and do your bit, see bit.ly/R5jNMZ.
Next Sunday is the New Lynn Lions Club's annual Galaxy of Cars at Western Springs - a massive event with hundreds of vehicles that's raised over $160,000 for charities over 15 years. And then just around the next corner, the Variety Club Bash. Car people are good people, aren't they?

The Oldest Grist Mill in Texas

Records show that by 1794 the Franciscans built a grist mill and located it outside the walls of San Jose near the church by the acequia. By this time the natives had become good Spanish citizens. Everything had been changed for these people, except for one thing; their diet. Spanish ladies and gentlemen eat only wheat, not corn. Therefore a mill had to be built to reduce wheat to flour.
Entering the mill you see a very simple mechanism.
There are two mills stones weighting three hundred and fifty pounds apiece. Both rough on top and smooth on the bottom with grooves (farrows) cut into them.
The entire process is done by water power.
The miller would open the sluice gate which diverts the water from the acequia to the forebay, a ten foot deep pool. At the bottom of the pool is a gate, which is opened and closed by a long pole. When the gate is opened, the water under all that pressure rushes through the gate down the flume and strikes the horizontal water wheel,
A few things more about the mill. Notice the stones. They move counterclockwise. The only countries this happens in Europe are Spain and Portugal. The stones are thought to have been mined in France at that time.
What is original? We know for certain that the bottom seven feet of the forebay and all of the stone work below the ground is original. We are pretty sure that the stone are also original, because they were found near the acequia during the archaeological dig during the 1930s and good quartzite stones will last for more than one hundred years..
The mill has been operational since 2001 and produces flour five days a week (Monday and Tuesday closed). Pioneer Mills on San Antonio furnishes the wheat and we give the flour back to them. They, in turn, donate it to farmers who feed it to their animals.
In conclusion, what does this tell us about the Spanish and the French. First, eventhough the French and Spanish did not play well together, they continued to trade with each other. Second, the Spanish sank a lot of money into making these towns viable. They bought quartzite stone, the most expensive ones in the world.

I love the first picture. And isn't it amazing how they seem to find us and they are always exactly what we need?

She looks like she is thinkging "so you think he is going to live here forever?" Good looking dogs. You are a good aunt. Take care.
Love boxers.
My son has 2 (Bonnie & Clyde).
Oh i'm glad they like traveling. We used to travel with our tabby cat when we had our motor home but he didn't like it. he was always happy when we parked for the night. me too!
What a sweetheart. He is a beauty and I know he will be a precious member of your household. We had a Yorkie and a Maltese, but then acquired a Chihuahua rescue. All things rocked along, and I found a poor starving Pom/Yorkie mix in the middle of a very busy intersection. Of course, I stopped my car in heavy traffic and picked her up. After having her treated for mange, heartworms, intestional parasites, scabies and other good stuff, she has been with us for a year. All four of our babies are just that--babies. Gotta love our furchildren.
Oh that is a beautiful dog Boxers are the best dog in the world The one I had travled well she went Over the road with us for 5 years I was sure to get her exercise everyday she thought she was a lap dog and was always setting on my lap when she could. Hard to believe but oneday for fun I put makeup on her had to buy her makeup because everyday she wanted what mommie had she provided us with many hoursof enjoyment. Her favorite thing in the world was to stay in a Motel, she always recognized a motel from a distance and if we were staying in one she was so excited. I really loved that dog. Now I have a pom not the same as a Boxer I still love her
Oh look at that smiling face.
What a beautiful dog and happy story. Thanks for sharing!
He looks like a very happy dog.

My fellow Americans, the state of the Barack Obama presidency is ... cautious? Defiant? Constrained? Humbled?
How about all of the above?
Compared to last year's State of the Union address, President Obama lowered his expectations this year. I'm sure he was thinking of the meager fruits of last year's address. The Washington Post's fact-checkers awarded him only five "wins" out of 24 proposals they checked.

text: What's up everyone. I have a question about doing a center console swap on my 99 Sierra. I found a center console from a '04 Yukon with the Bose subwoofer and the rear radio controls. I was wondering if I can somehow get that to bolt right on to my truck. I like the look of the newer consoles better and the more available room on them. Anyone know if its a direct swap or do I have to mod it some to get it to fit?

'In his spacious physics laboratory, Yukawa seemed to have discovered the secret of joyful human encounter, as well as the mathematical formulations which earned him a Nobel Prize.' (Karsh)
Like fellow physicist Shinichiro Tomonoga, Yukawa was born in Tokyo and raised in Kyoto. They graduated in the same year from KyotoUniversity. From 1938 he was Professor of Theoretical Physics at KyotoUniversity. In 1948 he was Visiting Professor to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and from the following year Visiting Professor at ColumbiaUniversity. Noted for his work on the nature of the atomic nucleus, he was also a very strong advocate for the peaceful use of atomic energy. He was the first Japanese citizen to be awarded a Nobel Prize and was also made an Honorary Citizen of the City of Kyoto and a Living Human Treasure.
