Serves 10
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
Position a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 400°F. Coat a 3-quart nonreactive baking dish (see Kitchen Note) with cooking spray.
Step 2
To prepare filling: Combine pear nectar (or juice or water) and lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss pears with the juice. Whisk brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and ginger in a nonreactive Dutch oven until combined. Drain the liquid from the pears into this mixture; stir until well blended. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring, just until it begins to boil, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pears and cranberries and cook, stirring, until the mixture is steaming, about 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Spread the fruit in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
To prepare crust: Combine sour cream and lemon juice in a small bowl. Place flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and baking soda in a food processor fitted with a dough hook or chopping blade; process to combine. Drizzle in oil and process in quick pulses just until the mixture is the consistency of very fine crumbs, stopping and scraping the bottom and sides several times. Add the sour cream mixture; process in quick pulses just until incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed between the fingers; do not overprocess. If the mixture seems dry, gradually add a little cold water, a teaspoon at a time, and pulse briefly several times just until the mixture is moistened and holds together.
Step 4
Lightly dust a 14-inch-long piece of parchment or wax paper with flour. Turn the dough out onto the paper and let rest for 5 minutes. Knead briefly until the dough just comes together. Lightly flour the top and cover with a second sheet of paper. Roll or press the dough into the same shape as your baking dish, just slightly smaller. Discard the top sheet of paper. Invert the dough, centered, over the fruit. Discard the paper. Using a greased sharp paring knife, cut large decorative slashes in the dough to vent steam. Sprinkle the dough evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any overflowing juices).
Step 5
Bake the cobbler until the top is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

text: Hi Fellow Dudes!, This will be my 4th go around at the RRBBO! Last years "Speed Demon" build placed second and I turned out happy with it, but one thing I learned was that I hate having a big, heavy, bulky, bike! Most of you know that I'm big into Bmx! 90% of my time goes into racing, 9% goes into my Hutch build and I always save 1% to express my creativity into the Build off every summer! One thing I've learned from Bmx is that I like my bikes to be Light, Fast, and High Performance. With that being said my build this year will probably reflect that quite a bit! Inspiration... This years Frame is a early 1950's Huffman! I picked it up from our member CeeBee at Ham Jam This past weekend! I call it..."The Huffman" :wink: Anyone know about this emblem? Possibly an alternate rack? @ yoothgeye, Remember this? If you need anything for your build you let me know!

We checked the forecast for several days and decided this would be the warmest and driest day to get together with densspot and do another batch of the Bear Bait series. Well - it was 25 degrees when we started out, but the sun was shining and the temps luckily got up to the 43 degrees that was predicted. The clouds came in and the wind picked up a bit just before noon, but we had a good share done by then. Finished the rest in good time and made our way home - happy to have finished another big section of the caches and discovered some more of the interesting back roads. This time we remembered to bring along the spare containers, so densspot was able to replace one missing one. Thanks again for placing this huge series for us to enjoy.

So reads a chapter from the recently released, Paths Toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism. The words , which hover between poem and essay, are from Cindy Milstein, an author and activist known for her "Anarchism 101" course at the National Conference for Organized Resistance. The images — soup-kettle steam mingling with bomb smoke, protestors stepping in front of bulldozers — are the work of Providence artist Erik Ruin, whom you might recognize from the AS220 Printshop or his projection-screen accompaniment to the city's Assembly of Light Choir.
Paths is both a nod to the present and past, Milstein explains in her prologue. The book's title is an homage to the socialist philosopher Martin Buber's 1944 tract, Paths In Utopia. But the book's pages, with references to "levees that break in hurricanes & nuclear plants that melt in earthquakes" and "OCCUPY EVERYTHING" banners, are urgently modern. "From Cairo to Madison, from Athens to New York, from Barcelona to Oakland, on the shoulders of Chiapas, Seattle, and Buenos Aires," Milstein writes, "we the billions have joyfully, startlingly, raced to the window on history that's been flung open."
Ruin's visuals provide a view through this window to a world where bank vaults are re-stocked with seeds and border walls crumble, where crowds flood into libraries and public parks. Many of these images were painstakingly scratched out in a south Providence home studio through a process involving acetate, ink, and X-ACTO blades. I caught up with Ruin in his studio to talk about the book and whether anarchism can lead to utopia, as the title suggests. The interview has been edited and condensed.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "ANARCHISM" AND "ANARCHY"? The standard line you'll hear from a lot of people who consider themselves anarchists — [and] I do consider myself an anarchist — is that anarchy tends to imply, in most people's minds, chaos or disorder or a lack of order as its primary condition, whereas anarchism tends to be a more systematic approach to the world that resists hierarchy in all of its forms . . . So it's resistant to government, but not necessarily resistant to order.
CAN YOU TAKE ME THROUGH YOUR VISION OF UTOPIA? No. [Laughs] I mean, I think that's the definition of "utopia." It's "no place." It's the thing you're always moving towards, but never getting. I think that the things that I see as moving there are things that allow people to meet face to face and to have honest discussions about how to move forward as a society, the things that dismantle hierarchical structures of power, particularly structures of abusive power, whether it be racism or gender oppression or capitalism, which is a really big one in our society.

Much effort in biophysics is directed to determining the structure and dynamics of specific biological molecules and of the larger architecture into which they assemble. Some of this effort involves inventing new methods and building new instruments for viewing these dynamic structures in action. In addition, biophysicists are increasingly concerned with the mechanical properties of biological systems, on length scales from nanometers to meters.
Biophysics is relevant to medicine, and many biophysicists direct their investigations toward biomolecules that play a key role in disease.
The biological questions of interest to biophysics are as diverse as the organisms of biology:

The "not at his best" crap is too ridiculous to respond to.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Didn't think so.
All I've said is that he's sucked for 4 weeks. Which he has. Great QB's don't play that badly for that long. For him its actually been 5 weeks.
Show me any of the elite QB's in this league who have had 1 TD and 6 picks in any 5 game stretch in their prime.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
This post is just not true and a classic we are on a two game losing streak thread - hate gilbride all you want he and coughlin run a downfield system that is favorable to the QB. GO BLUE.
Changes don't be made and the Giants will lose more games. Giants Offense is too predictable and too many deep routes. Suppose to mix them up to keep the defense on their toes.
There is nothing wrong with Gilbride scheme, Eli needs to make better decisions and someone has to help Eli out in the passing game. Cruz is an undrafted free agent handling double teams for the 1st time, Nicks is always injured but showed some flashes that he's back. Our main problem is the tight end, 3rd receiver, and receivers out the backfield. No1 in our backfield can catch the ball, I even watch Wilson drop or bobble it in the passing game, Bennett teases us fans thinking he's a redzone threat. Fans can run their mouth negatively about Ballard, but he made plays in the endzone. Bennett cant run the fade route, and he loses focus where the out of bounds line is. Hixon, Barden, and Reuben needs to step up like Manningham did for us last year.
When Ballard and Beckum was hurt in that SuperBowl, we had no options at tight end and the Patriots made sure they doubled Nicks and Cruz. Do you know who benefited from that...Mario Manningham was the unsung hero of that game and even in the Niner game he made a huge catch. We are not getting that this season. Nicks and Cruz are facing the double teams, and Bennett, Hixon, Barden, Reuben, Bradshaw, and Wilson are not taking advantage of it.
If I was Gilbride, I would be frustrated with this lack of talent. I would run 2 man routes all day with extra blockers from running formations because we dont have any other options to back up Nicks and Cruz.
I would say that the offense is QB friendly, but WR unfriendly... it is extremely difficult for a new receiver to come in and learn the option routes, and get on the same page as the QB.. understanding what he sees and what he expects. It's a great system, when all the pieces are working in sync, and as we have seen a lousy offense when they are not.
Suggesting it is a lack of talent beyond Cruz and Nicks, in my opinion, is a bit ridiculous. Hixon and Reuben are fine as third receivers... however, Reuben has had some trouble catching on with the system. .
I don't know what the solution is, but sometimes "dumbing it down" is the best approach, letting the speed and talent take over rather than relying on overly complex system where too many factors are involved with executing correctly. One thing I do know, this team can no longer rely on its defense to win games for them, they will do just enough to keep them in it, the offense has to make some plays if they are going to make the playoffs this year.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I`d go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I`m now resigned to the fact that this won`t happen. -- Michael Strahan, just when you think you're down...
I do not agree with this system being WR unfriendly as well. Its 10 weeks into the season, and they had the entire offseason to get this system down. Hixon and Barden been in the same system for years, there is just no excuse for this. People thought that this system was too complicated for Mario Manningham and he did well as a Giant and looks to be struggling as a 49er (which is a run oriented team). And its not like Eli Manning does not put the extra time in to work with all his receivers and mentor them.
I just think its a lack of talent. Barden has never emerged and just can't seem to fight out the press despite his size. Hixon can never stay healthy, and I really think he lost a step from a couple of years ago. Randle is an immature rookie who was called out from his teammates for being lackadaisical out there. This system may be unfriendly to Bennett because he's just a bonehead and never seems to come through in the redzone. Jernigan...lol where do I start? Look at these guys....Barden, Hixon, and Jernigan has no excuse...its the same damn system, someone needs to step it up because I dont see anything else to back up Nicks and Cruz.
Teams are lucky to have one receiver of Cruz or Nicks' calibre - the Giants have both. There is no lack of talent on that offense.

the feeling of being very tired when you return to work after a holiday, especially because of changes to your sleeping pattern
'… people are left feeling similar effects to jet-lag whereby they struggle to get up in the morning, feel sluggish, find it difficult to fall asleep at night and feel sleepy during the day – a phenomenon dubbed social jet lag.'The Telegraph, UK 21st December 2010
It's an experience many of us will be familiar with: you enjoy a break from work, whether it's a holiday or a week or so at home, and then on the dreaded day you return to the office your post-holiday blues are compounded by a general feeling of sluggishness and just not being able 'to get going'. This unanticipated fatigue which assaults us on our return to work now has a new term of reference – it's being called social jet lag.
the root cause of social jet lag is the more relaxed sleeping pattern that many people adopt when on holiday
Workaholics excepted, the majority of people experience a range of negative emotions when they go back to work after a holiday period – after leading a relatively carefree existence, it's no fun toiling away all day, is it? But on top of that general sense of anticlimax, there's often a very real physical sensation of feeling 'not right' – tiredness, lack of energy or the ability to concentrate, irritability, or possibly indigestion or loss of appetite. Observing that these symptoms are very similar to those experienced by people suffering jet lag (a feeling of fatigue experienced by travellers crossing time zones), researchers have coined the expression social jet lag to refer to this phenomenon. Social jet lag is defined as the difference between 'biological time' and 'external requirements', or, in other words, a person's body clock being out of kilter with what the demands of a working day impose.
The root cause of social jet lag is the more relaxed sleeping pattern that many people adopt when on holiday. Conscious that they don't need to be up at the crack of dawn the next day, people luxuriate in the opportunity to lie in, getting up later in the morning and going to bed later in the evening. Faced with going back to work after perhaps as much as two weeks of a different cycle of waking and sleeping, a person's body clock is thrown out of sync when they are forced to get up much earlier in the day. This has a similar effect to the one experienced by flying west across one or more time zones.
Thankfully, like conventional jet lag, social jet lag usually only lasts a couple of days. If you'd like to avoid it completely however, there is a solution, though it's not a particularly appealing one. In order to ensure that your body clock doesn't drift too far from the patterns of a normal working day, the trick is to get up early when you're on holiday – at the time you would normally get up for work or not too much later. Mmmm … like that's really going to happen?!
The term social jet lag was coined in 2006 by researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany, who were investigating the problems caused by differences between a person's internal biological clock and the official clock time that society follows.
A person's internal biological clock is also sometimes referred to as their circadian rhythm, a term based on the Latin words circa ('around/about') and dies ('day'). The circadian rhythm can be influenced by what is technically referred to as a zeitgeber (from German, literally 'time giver'), the primary example of which is daylight.
It's one thing to feel under par when you go back to work, but even more frustrating if you fall ill at the start of a holiday period. Noticing that this irritating scenario was all too frequent, in 2001 researchers in the Netherlands coined the term leisure sickness to refer to illness which occurs during weekends and holidays.

Should schools get lock down gates ?
Original post made by WorriedParent, Midtown, on Jun 1, 2006
But we have to remember, kids need to use the restrooms, kids are entrusted with the job of carrying the attendance sheet to the office - for one reason or other - child(ren) get out of their classrooms and are gone from the classrooms for some time.
Think about it - during the school hours, how many people have an access to the campus? Plenty! In the elementary schools that I have seen - there are quite a few people hanging around after the school is in session. These are parent volunteers, these are parents who are socializing, these are neighbors who have brought their young child just to see the happy and jolly kids, there are grandparents who have come to see off their grandchildren ..
Don't you think the school should have two gates that get locked down right after the school is in session? All the human traffic, once the gates are closed - should be directed through the office, where the person would have to state a reason (and maybe id himself/herself) before being let into the campus. Now .. I can see some people raising the question of - if there are locked gates, what happens in case of an emergency? I am not talking about padlocks, these should be electronic locks that we see everywhere - which will sound an alarm when opened. In case of an emergency - well, let the alarm sound. During other times, this alarm will alert someone in the office.
The school district will definitely argue about needing more $ to hire staff to monitor the traffic during the school hours. Well ... this is a small price to pay for the safety !
What do the other parents think ?
Thanks !

School staff have established a number of procedures to minimize student risk. All the optional gates for school sites are locked after the final bell rings; students go around campus in pairs, to the bathroom, to office for errands, to the specialists' offices. Parents are monitoring entrances and exits during recess and lunch times and the district has hired extra personnel to patrol school grounds during the school day. Parent volunteers are required to wear red name tags to identify themselves; any adult without a name tag is challenged. I think that everyone is doing all they can usefully do to protect the children. I know that everybody is worried and upset, but look around to see what measures are being taken.

The Marina City Council balked this week at a possible sale of five acres of undeveloped Fort Ord land for a new Mormon church.
The council voted 3-1 against negotiating a possible sale of a portion of the city's future sports complex site at Preston Park to the church, which has plans for a new 19,000- to 20,000-square-foot meeting house.
"The dynamics were along the line of building on blighted areas before open space," Mayor Bruce Delgado said Friday.
The Preston Park land — one of three sites the church has looked at on Fort Ord land in Marina — is part of 16 acres of open dunes the city plans to turn into a sports complex at some point. The site is undisturbed marine chaparral, Delgado said.
"There was a very strong direction that, if at all possible, we don't build on open space," Delgado said.
But the council didn't close the door altogether. On a 4-0 vote, the council called for visits to all three possible sites, followed by a workshop to compare the pros and cons of each.
If it proves too costly for the church to build elsewhere, Delgado said the city may reconsider.
The other sites are in the Cypress Knolls project area, a 180-acre tract of former Army housing owned by the city, and the developer-owned Marina Heights project area.
Each site, Delgado acknowledged, carries different financial implications for both the city and the church. The council earlier ruled out Marina Heights, and the church submitted an offer to buy the Preston Park site in October.

Brazil's Cup of Excellence Competition – Touring the Farms
I spent Sunday and Monday traveling through Minas Gerais, meeting other farmers and visiting their farms. I was fortunate to be able to spend Sunday visiting Fazenda Sant'ana ("St. Anne's Farm"), this year's second place COE finisher Sr. Paulo Sérgio Noronha Barleta's estate, located outside of Olimpio Noronha, a small community of about 2,500 people a few kilometers west of Carmo de Minas, MG. On Monday, it was my pleasure to visit the Sr. Junqueira's Carmo Estate operation, and spent the day touring his impressive operation. He was unable to enter any of his coffees into the competition for obvious reasons, but I have no doubt that his coffees are among the finest ever grown in Brazil.
Sr. Noronha Barleta's coffee was also fantastic – it stood out to me every time it was on the table. His entry was one of only two Presidential Award coffees in Brazil this year with a score of 90.83, and was the highest placed coffee from Minas Gerais.
His beautiful farm was originally started by his great grandparents over 150 years ago, and we were received by him and his family in the sitting room of the farm's original colonial-style farm house. We had Sunday dinner with his family (delicious roast pork and beef, with rice, boiled potatoes, vegetables, and slices of sweet, ripe pineapple "to help our digestion"). The foods had been cooked in the kitchen on an ancient built-in brick wood stove that was designed to burn 3 to 4 foot-long sections of coffee wood, trimmings from the farm's coffee trees. The meal was, of course, finished with cups of their own coffee – roasted in a skillet, and served strong and hot, poured into tiny, delicate porcelain cups.
After dinner, Sr. Noronha Barleta – who in addition to being a prize-winning coffee farmer is also the Honorable Mayor of Olimpio Noronha – led us outside to his venerable 4WD Toyota Bandeirante stake-bed truck, and proceeded to drive us up the deeply rutted roads to the highest land on his property where he grows his best coffee. My companions and I had to ride in the back of the truck, holding on for dear life as the Bandeirante was slammed into lower and lower gears to cope with the increasingly steep pitch to the land. The heavy tropical rains that wash down these jeep roads create ruts and expose rocks that made the trip feel like we were ascending a stream bed instead of a road. After thirty minutes of being thrown around, thankfully we finally reached the top of his coffee orchards. Above us was virgin forest – intentionally left alone for the 150 years this land has been in his family – climbing many hundreds of feet up to the summit of the steep mountains, providing Fazenda Sant'ana with its clean water and habitat for many species of birds and animals.
Visiting his farm and walking among the exact trees that produced his extraordinary coffee was very enlightening. The higher elevations provided his coffee with the cooler temperatures needed to build up the acidity, complexity, and depth I had noted in his winning coffee. The mountains above us provided shade during most of the day, and protection from the storms that can rage through this part of Brazil during their summers' wet season.
A sense of place and a sense of pride were clearly evident in Sr. Noronha Barleta's face as he showed us his trees, and explained to us in Portuguese how careful he and his workers work to harvest only the perfectly ripe coffee cherries during harvest. He hoped – as do I – that the auction prices received for all of the winning farmers' coffee during January's Internet auction of the Brazilian Cup of Excellence coffees would be a vindication of their hard work. Unspoken, but evident in his face, was his desire that these coffees would also help show the world that Brazilian coffees can rank with the best found anywhere.

Binghamton University ranked #1 best value for out-of-state students: The Kiplinger 100: Best Values in Public Colleges
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University has been rated number one among the nation's public universities for out-of-state students and in the top ten for in-state students on Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine's new list of 100 Best Values in Public Colleges. Placing seventh overall, Binghamton University is also one of the best values for New York residents.
"This is exciting for not only the University, but for students and parents considering Binghamton," said President Lois B. DeFleur. "These rankings provide important validation for all of our hard work to provide an excellent education as well as an exceptional value for students and their families."
Using a rigorous quantitative ranking system, the Kiplinger 100 finds schools that combine a first-class education with outstanding economic value. Selected from a pool of over 500 public four-year colleges and universities, the schools on the Kiplinger list were ranked according to academic quality, cost and financial aid.
According to the Kiplinger's rankings, Binghamton University is one the best values for both in-state and out-of-state students. Binghamton ranked 1st when considering the best value for out-of-state students and 7th in the nation when considering in-state tuition only. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill leads the list, whose top 10 also includes the College of William and Mary and the University of Virginia.
Private colleges have recently averaged about $33,000 a year—a sharp contrast to the public institutions on Kiplinger's top 100 list, most of which cost less than $20,000 a year for in-state students. At Binghamton University non–New Yorkers pay $22,260, only about one-third more than in-state students.
"With the economic turmoil of 2008, families of all income levels are feeling the financial pinch," says Fred Frailey, editor of Kiplinger's. "But schools like these prove that an excellent education is still available at an affordable price."
The Kiplinger's list appears in the magazine's December issue and at http://www.kiplinger.com/money/collegevalues/

Summer has been strange here in TO. Warm and chilly in the evenings, then hot and hot at night…but I sure do love those warm summer breezes…because goodness knows I get a chill when it's 25+ with wind.
Everything has been good over here, busy and vacations and well just summer life. It is so short lived in Canada as we have a full 4 seasons to go through.
Hope you are enjoying your summer(s) or season wherever you are!
xo Thanks for reading!

As Brandon Roy contemplates retiring from basketball, an ominous quote emerged via Joe Freeman on Twitter.

A source said that Roy met with doctors on
Thursday and was told after his knee evaluation: "You can't do this. You
might end up not walking." Roy is said to be very emotional and it's
doubtful he'll meet with the media today. It sounds like his career is
over, although we're still awaiting for it to become official. Another
sad story in a generally sad day as training camps open and free agency
Terribly sad, I have always liked this guy and he's a great player. I guess was...The Blazers have terrible luck.

I am very happy that people have asked me (and continue to do so)
about what it is I like to do with my addresses I get when I receive in
a swap.
Saving the addresses so that at a later time I can randomly send the
person a "surprise" RAK has always made ME smile just knowing that
I sent something out to someone who is NOT expecting what they will
be getting.
Word seems to have "spread" and I have been receiving pm's asking me
if I would add their name to my list and will share the list. The list has grown
quite a bit over the last several weeks.
I LOVE reading about someone getting a surprise in the form of a RAK
on a particularly rough day and getting a smile because of it.
Keep up the great work everyone.

For "emergency" or insurance feeding I have always used baker's fondant but I know many use the "MountainCamp" / Johansson method.
To avoid breaking the inner covers loose why not simply place bags of sugar directly over the opening in the inner covers.
The bags could be prepared by setting the bags of sugar onto trays containing a small amount of water. The water would moisten the sugar at the bottom of the bags, and after several days ( or longer) of drying the bags of sugar could be used. The bag would be cut open on the hardened bottom and placed over the inner covers.
I see a few advantages:
1. The propolis seal of the inner cover remains intact
2. There is less paper introduced into the hive
3. Some moisture may permeate out through the mass of sugar
4. Unused sugar could be used to make syrup in the Spring
5. Sugar can be replenished without opening the hive
I would suspect that it would be sufficient to saturate perhaps the bottom inch of the bag of sugar with water, and then allow it to dry on a flat surface. In use, I believe enough moisture will be available to prevent the sugar "ceiling" from breaking open, and dumping the sugar into the hive. Otherwise, one could saturate the entire bag of sugar and be certain that the sugar won't pour down...
This would eliminate the work and energy cost associated with making candy boards or sugar bricks.

Missing Flight Mystery
The U.S. is helping in the search for that missing jetliner off the coast of Malaysia.
The Pentagon, the FAA, even the FBI are all involved in helping Malaysian officials figure out what happened.
The Pentagon dispatched two Navy destroyers with search helicopters. Plus surveillance aircraft from Okinawa, Japan to help with the search off the coast of Malaysia where the weather is getting worse. "Our radars are very advanced and they can actually negate a lot of that surface clutter," said Commander William Marks, U.S. Navy.
The plane had seven hours of fuel, so the search area is expanding. "You really have to start looking at a trajectory path at a speed an altitude that they were at, how far could this airplane go," said NTSB Investigator Greg Feith.
Two investigators from the FAA, and two more from the National Transportation Safety Board are in Malaysia trying to help pinpoint just how far this plane could've gone. "The only way in certain parts of the world where they are going to be able to locate your position is by knowing where your last position was and what your next position was predicted to be," said Former American Airlines Pilot Tom Casey.
The State Department says three Americans were on board. Their family, friends and neighbors anxiously await news. "It's really sad because it's like you're waiting for them to come home," said Michele Heck, Mei Ling Chng's Neighbor
Greg Candalaria was supposed to be on flight 370, but he cancelled at the last minute. "By the grace of God I was not on that plane," said Candalaria, "239 people were."
The search now enters its fourth day.

text: Hi all, I just bought a new 13 GMC 1500 and got the bug to start adding things already! I found one I liked (at a good price) after hitting about 10 dealers. The one I chose has a set of rims I haven't seen before? They are 20" dished in with a wider 5 spoke. I will add some pics when I get it. I was just wandering if they are a older style or something? Any way I will try to keep the post where they should be, now I am going to poke around and see what kind of tips I can get on tricking this thing out!

GSA's RFI on Business Line Analyses Will Be Discussed Wednesday
April 16, 2004
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The General Services Administration (GSA), in conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), today announced a Request for Information (RFI) has been issued to accelerate the effort of a government-wide analysis of three lines of business to expand electronic government, in support of the President's Management Agenda.
The RFI, issued yesterday, seeks information related to governmentwide business consolidation efforts in each line of business (LOB) as follows: Financial management, human resources and grants management. The objectives are to establish common solutions implemented through target architecture and to increase efficiency throughout the federal government, while reducing costs.
The common solutions should include best practices for enterprise transformation, business process changes, technology innovation, key system interfaces and migration strategies.
"The RFI allows for transparency and partnership for the LOB effort to ensure all interested parties both government and industry have an opportunity to work with us to create solutions while saving taxpayers' dollars" stated Karen Evans, Administrator for E- Government and Information Technology. Though not part of the RFI, federal health architecture and case management LOBs are accelerating their analyses for common solutions
GSA will host "Government and Industry Day," Wednesday, April 21, 1 to 3:30 p.m., at the Jury's Hotel in Northwest Washington. Panel members from participating agencies will present an overview of each line of business and respond to questions. R.S.V.P. by Monday to email@example.com.

Arsenal 2-0 Fenerbahce
European Cup Winners Cup, Round 1 (1st Leg) - September 19, 1979
Goals Sunderland, Young (Arsenal)
Attendance 34,973
From 'Voice of Arsenal' in the match programme
Tonight, the players of Arsenal set out on what we hope will be another road to success.
Not a great deal is known over here about our opponents this evening though Terry Neill and Don Howe flew to Turkey on the Saturday night after we had played Manchester United at Highbury to have a look at them, so that their strengths and weaknesses could be passed on to our players for use in the pre-match preparation.
Having seen them, Terry was confident, but cautious - you just have to be in football. Normally, we would prefer playing away first so that you know exactly what you have to do at home. All you know in the first game is that you have got to get as many as possible, but it is not quite the same as a positive target.
But playing away in Europe can have known hazards, so we should be flat out tonight to tie it up beyond any doubt.
Now Europe has a great number of top-class teams and competition gets tougher and tougher - this applies everywhere in football, but we still say what we were saying earlier on - that we believe we have a very good side, good in skills and in character, able to withstand the heaviest pressure.
Time alone will tell, but if a good start counts for a lot - and it surely does - then tonight is the opportunity to get off to a 'flyer'.
Arsenal Jennings, Rice, Nelson, Talbot, O'Leary, Young, Brady, Sunderland, Stapleton, Hollins, Rix.
Fenerbahce Adem, Coskun, Sevki, Cem, Erol, Onder, Ali Kemal, Cemil, Rasit, Mehmet, Yasar. Subs Selcuk, Tuna, Onur, Zafer.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Why employ a graduate?
While I have short term work experience in IT security and my core skillet is healthy in regard to this field (OSCP, CEH + required fundamentals), I struggle to see why I am of value in relation to the available pool of CV's (cost aside). This alone may make one seem unemployable but I am trying to be realistic..
For example, on one of my test labs I was struggling with linux local privilege escalation.. Now I know the box is weak in terms of user credentials so I wanted to take another route..I dug up poc for a kernel based pe exploit however I struggled to truly understand its inner workings, even with my intimidate programming skills and ability to write various exploits..
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the gap between my knowledge and those with years of experience in the field seems so vast.. I understand that graduates are thought to possess accelerated learning capabilities and remain cheap but if the knowledge gaps are so wide, what is their applicable value? While I'm sure there are employed pen testers out there with a lesser knowledge base than my own, I just don't feel as attractive as I'd like to the employer.
So to reform as a question, can those with experience see a flaw in my thinking in regard to entry level positions? Why if at all are young graduates who meet set requirements attractive to pen testing employers?
I'm aware this wall of text is frightful so any responses would be truly appreciated.
Kind regards,
