Definition of Database: A database is a collection of information organized and searchable so that you can easily find what you are looking for. A phone book is an example of a database. It is arranged alphabetically by last name and by subject. In libraries, you use databases to find articles and citations.
Libraries subscribe to databases that provide the same information that periodical indexes in print form provide. Databases (believe it or not) actually make research easier. In the past, researchers would search for information by first selecting the multi-volume print index they wanted to use and then searching each year's volume to find what was published that year on their subject.
Now indexes can be searched online by entering keywords into a search engine. The search engine then retrieves relevant citations and often times the full text of the article. Searches can often be limited to a specific publication, a set of dates, peer reviewed publications, or a particular language.
Definition of Citation: A citation is a statement that gives researchers the information they need to locate a book, video, or an article. A citation tells you how to find the article, it does not give you the text of the article.
In the following example of a citation, Andrew DuBrock is the author, "Singing and Playing at the Same Time" is the title of the article, and Acoustic Guitar is the title of the publication the article was published in. If you wanted to read this article, you would first find out if South Plains College Library subscribed to Acoustic Guitar (we do!), then you would locate the July 2009 issue, turn to page 40 and there would be the article.
DuBrock, Andrew. "Singing and Playing at the Same Time." Acoustic Guitar. July 2009, p 40-42.

Thursday's Daily Wrangle: After a new Dali update, help gather info on a physical script copy
- Nathan_Mattise
- posted in Wrangle Post ⋅ 7:45 pm
Working with the Centre d'Estudis Dalinians (yes, the same center on the Wrangler radar for awhile now), we confirmed a location of the Dali Script.
In an e-mail exchange back and forth with them, a representative mentioned the only way to see it is to visit the center in person:
"Unfortunately, it is not possible to send you a copy of the script. You are very welcome to do research at the Centre for Dalinian Studies, in case you would like to see the script here at the Foundation. I sent to you a link with the opening times and access rules: http://www.salvador-dali.org/serveis/ced/en_condicions_acces.html"
So today's challenge is a doozy. Provide some information on the script from The Center for Dalian Studies… which happens to be in Figueres, Spain. Know someone traveling or studying abroad? Call it home yourself? You can help gather the final pieces to this puzzle.
Happy Wrangling.

At Microsoft's BUILD conference that is set to start later today, a Surface RT has been spotted running Windows RT 8.1 Preview (build 9431). The demo tablet showcases many features that we are likely to see in Windows 8.1.
With Windows 8.1, there are going to be a lot of changes that mostly address users' concerns with Windows 8, most notable of which is the re-inclusion of the Start button. The Start screen will feature Metro tiles of various sizes, and we should also see more Metro settings to customize the Start screen along with the launch of Internet Explorer 11. Windows 8.1 will also see improved built-in apps and new additions like Reading List, Bing Food & Drink, and Bing Health & Fitness.
The Windows Store is also getting a makeover and will now include more information on new releases and automatic app updates. We should have a more definitive listing of changes and new features once the keynote kicks off later today at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

What video series and books do you recommend for CEH?
I don't want to waste my companies money on training that won't work. I borrowed my co-workers CBT nuggets, but after two sections I am not liking the instructor. One of my main pet peeves is that I do not agree with him when he says all ethical hackers are gray hat, because even as a white had there comes a point where you need to test an exploit on someone elses system. That's bull. Setup a lab, find someone hosting a test network, or get permission. Plus he also comes across as a cheesy used car salesman.
So, let's hear it? What videos and books should I consider?
CISSP, GCIH, GCIA, C|EH, Sec+, Net+, MCP

Internet Storm Center
The ISC is a resource that helps to paint a picture of what is going on in the cloud, the problem is that most of us have 20 tasks to complete, and even the two minutes needed to browse the site it too much to spare. Luckily (and if you are running Windows), Tom Liston of Intelguardians, wrote an application that sits in the system tray http://handlers.sans.org/tliston/ISCAlert.zip.
Simply download the .zip file, and double click the .exe. If you have an environment which restricts executables, simply copy the .exe into C:\Documents and Settings\uuser\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. In the system tray you will see a small icon of the world, which hopefully will be green, this indicates that everything is normal. As the threat level increases, the color of the icon changes; for a complete breakdown of each threat level and the color which represents the threat see http://isc.sans.org/infocon.html

Spring is HERE!
I have decided that I have a love/hate relationship with Spring.
I LOVE that the weather is getting warmer. I love that I don't have to bundle my kids up just to go to school. I love that it stays lighter later. I love that I wake up to sunlight instead of gray skies. I love that the green is coming back to my grass and my trees, and the trees in front of the kids school are full of the beautiful white/pink blossoms that I look forward to every year. I love the small specks of color with each flower I see brightening our world.
I HATE that my eyes won't stop itching, my nose won't stop running and everyone that sees me thinks I am tired, sick or just got done crying. I hate that I sneeze a million times a day. I hate that my nose is raw from all the Kleenex. I hate that allergy medications knock me out so bad that I can't function. I hate that I feel too miserable to enjoy all the wonderful things that I love about Spring! Can I please go to bed and sleep until summer?! Achoooo!

About Pensions
The State Pension
The State Pension is a regular income paid by the UK Government to people who have reached State Pension age. In this section we explain various aspects of the State Pension and how NI contributions work - and we introduce the changes that are happening. Below are the links that you might find useful when thinking about your State Pension.
Putting off your State Pension
The State Pension is intended to ensure that everyone has a basic amount of money to support them in their old age. State Pensions are funded from National Insurance (NI) contributions. You will receive a State Pension in your own right ( i.e. regardless of whether you're married or not) and what you'll receive doesn't depend on how much you have earned, but on your own NI record. To get the full State Pension, currently, you need to have 35 years' worth of NI contributions or credits.

Press Report: The Led Zeppelin concert at the showgrounds last Sunday must rate as one of the best ever held in Sydney - but, if the crowd had not stormed the fences, it could have been the worst.
The official attendence figure was 27,000 but senior police officers at the concert estimated the crowd at "at least 30,000". According to showground officials the three stands used last Sunday have a maximum capacity of 25,000 - so whatever way you look at it the ground was dangerously overcrowded.
Despite the fact that there were no seats left at mid-day and no standing room by 1.30pm., people were still coming through the gates at 2.30pm. The overcrowding that existed before the fences were stormed must never be allowed to occur again because next time someone could be killed in the crush. Once capacity is reached the gates should be closed. David D. Bryant The Sun-Herald, 5 March 1972, p. 109.

Thankyou: so good to revisit
Thankyou: so good to revisit that day. The Immigrant song was first. We waited an extra hour to get into the showground. For the first tme since the war years we gained an extra hour of sunlight that Sunday back in '72. Unlike Led Zep, daylight saving has returned to Sydney each year. I was 15. My girlfriend and I would have been ring-side without the extra hour. We'd left home at dawn. When the band started up and the audience cascaded over the boundary I was awestruck at the visible vibration of coke cans on the asphalt. Why would I want to move any closer to those thumpin great decibels... I could see a lot better in those days and I can still hear. In truth I carried regret for resisting the urge to join in the cascade: that passed. The pleasure of seeing and joy of soaring with Led Zeppelin remains. The best live act I've been to was also the first.

Free Speech: Threat, or Menace?
posted at 8:05 am on July 20, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
This is more or less an open-debate thread. I solicit your opinions in the comments; don't disappoint me!
Resolved: There is no general "right" to nonverbal "speech," and indeed, some should be banned.
Freedom of speech has always historically meant the freedom to express ideas in words; the modern fancy that any action whatsoever can be considered "speech" if it conveys, however indirectly, a message is unsustainable in logical argument.
Mere outrage is not by itself a message; at best, it's a medium… and freedom of speech does not imply freedom of every medium of expression. For example, does freedom of speech include the "right" of two high-school students to strip naked in the classroom and have sex? But they may thus be expressing the "message" that they are in love. And does it include "selling" property that doesn't belong to you, without the real owner's permission? But that may express your belief that all property should be distributed equally among everyone.
Speech literally means speech — talking, words, sentences — not anything that moves anyone to do or think anything. Granted, some nonverbal communication might be accorded the brevet status of speech; "flipping the bird," for example, or maybe even something as rude as mooning a speaker you hate. But those are privileges, not rights, and they can be allowed or forbidden on the whim of the authorities… so long as those authorities are even-handed in their judgments and don't use their power to advance one cause while restricting or retarding another. (But that can be a separate cause of action — you can go to court and argue that the government is abusing its power to suppress nonverbal speech.)
Finally, there are some images and other nonverbal communications that are so vile and degrading that they literally harm people — permanently and irrevocably — either through encouraging horrific and ghastly behavior, or simply via psychological scarring and moral numbing. The victims include children, of course, but often adults as well.
Consider snuff films, even those that do not actually kill or harm any of the actors (adult or child), but create an amazingly realistic depiction of such sexual violence and murder. If we cannot ban a film, for example, that graphically depicts the sodomistic rape of a child (even if faked) — and revels in such behavior, depicting it as normal and pleasurable — then we are no longer a civilization, just a gathering of atavistic voyeurs and beastial bipeds.
At least "mere words" haven't the power to move people towards the soulless night of absolute amorality, as graphic or other nonverbal communication can. Can we not at least restrict "freedom of speech" to actual speech, words, which can be countered… and allow communities to ban some types of nonverbal "speech" that simply cannot be counterprogrammed, no matter how many wholesome, family-value programs are made available in response?
Sometimes, mere words are not sufficient to express a powerful, important idea in its fullness. For thousands of years, human beings have used nonverbal media — everything from music to art to sculpture to dance to what today we would call protest and passive resistance — to communicate and advance ideas that simply cannot be adequeately conveyed by words… either because the authorities won't allow the words to be spoken, or because the idea itself is ineffable.
For only one example, can religious experience be reduced to mere words? Suppose some government banned the Catholic mass — but allowed a transcript to be printed and distributed. Freedom of religion aside, would that satisfy the intent of freedom of speech?
Great Britain at one time banned the singing of Irish revolutionary songs in the six counties (Ulster) in northern Ireland. Presumably, one could recite the words, but not sing them. Is that an acceptable limit on freedom of speech? Who, besides the government itself, benefits from such censorship of music?
If Iran bans the act of displaying an American flag on Iranian soil, doesn't that violate Iranians' freedom of speech? Could anything, words or actions, be more eloquent in expressing how a Persian might feel about what the mullahs have done to Iran, and the fights they have picked, than hoisting the flag of the freest country on Planet Earth, which is of course Iran's Great Satan?
Some ideas are ineffable: They cannot be fully described verbally, but only approximated; they cannot be properly argued or advanced with mere words. If we allow governments to ban nonverbal communication, they will inevitably use that authority to suppress those ineffable ideas that threaten their own hegemony or power (such as freedom, liberty, democracy, and disfavored religions), while blithely allowing nonverbal "speech" supporting those ineffable ideas that the government likes (like obedience to authority, or the singular divinity of Allah). That is certainly the pattern in every country that suppresses nonverbal "speech"… suppression is never "even-handed!"
Our only defense to vile and degrading nonverbal speech is to produce moral and uplifting speech (verbal and nonverbal) to combat the former. It can never be right for government to decide what types of speech, verbal or nonverbal, shall be allowed; suppressing the one is no different from suppressing the other: Both boil down to thought control, which is just another word for tyranny.
No matter how irredeemable some communication is, suppressing it comes at too high a moral cost.
My thoughts on this topic are driven in part by this story, but also by some of the bizarre and nauseating "installations" and "performance art" that has littered the fine arts for some years now… works that serve as defining examples of charlatanism, such as segmented human corpses, sexual self-mutilation, and the antics of people like, e.g., Lisa Suckdog.

text: i had a nuc that i recently transferred into a ten frame deep to make more room. all the frames were honey bound and the queen wasn't laying yet when i did the transfer about three weeks ago. today i was looking into this hive to see what kind of brood pattern this queen was laying. it was pretty spotty. i found the queen and watched her for awhile. she would look into a cell, then another, then another, then she laid an egg in that cell. i'm thinking maybe since the four frames that were drawn were full of nectar, honey , and pollen, that maybe she only had a limited number of cells to lay in starting out, which caused the spotty pattern i observed or maybe she's just a dud. how long should i give this queen before i make my decision to pinch her or not. two, three brood cycles, or longer. i'd like to here from those who breed and mate their own queens. i was thinking of letting her go until autumn then combining this hive with another if the pattern looks the same. any thoughts?

Ukiah Daily Journal
The results of an internal affairs investigation on Mendocino County Sheriff's Office Capt. Randy Johnson regarding a federal marijuana raid on property associated with his relatives were released Thursday.
Sheriff Tom Allman announced in mid-October that an outside agency would conduct the investigation after the federal Drug Enforcement Administration served a search warrant on property associated with Johnson's relatives. The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office did the investigation and gave Allman the 80-page report Dec. 13, finding that Johnson didn't know about any illegal activity and didn't participate in it.
Regarding the question of "if he knew about any breaking of the law and failed to report it, that was unfounded," Allman said. The SCSO also deemed unfounded the idea that Johnson was involved in any illegal marijuana growing on his relatives' property.
Addressing public perception that Johnson should have seen, smelled or somehow been aware of 500 marijuana plants growing on neighboring property, off of Highway 20 in Potter Valley, Allman said the report confirms his confidence that Johnson was not aware of them.
"If there were 500 plants...they had to have been indoor plants," Allman said. "I've seen 500 seedlings growing indoors in a closet."
The DEA did not disclose to Allman any information about the October raid and still won't discuss its ongoing investigation with Allman's office, or with the SCSO, he said.
"The DEA has not informed me that he's (Johnson) a suspect in any criminal investigation," Allman said.
DEA spokeswoman Casey Rettig said of the case Thursday, "The documents relating to the enforcement operation remain under court seal, no arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing."
Allman said he made himself and his staff available to the Sonoma County investigators, and has offered the results of the internal affairs investigation to the DEA in its investigation of the marijuana garden.
Johnson remained on duty during the internal affairs investigation.
"I do not have a 1-percent belief that Capt. Johnson was involved in any criminal act or knew of any on (his family's) property," Allman said, adding, "If your readers have information to the contrary, they can contact me or the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office and I'll give them the name of the guy who did the internal affairs investigation."
Callers can contact Allman at 463-4085.

MONTZ (AP) — A St. John the Baptist Parish sheriff's deputy hospitalized since an August shoot-out that killed two other deputies is back home in Montz.
Chief Deputy Harold Klibert said Jason Triche returned home on Monday from a Baton Rouge hospital. Klibert says people lined streets to welcome him. The Sheriff's Office had asked residents to turn out in a posting on its Facebook page.
Triche was among three deputies ambushed Aug. 16 at a trailer park where they went to investigate a shooting that had injured another deputy. Both deputies with Triche were killed.
Deputy Michael Scott Boyington, wounded earlier Aug. 16 while working an off-duty security job, was released from a hospital earlier.
Seven people were arrested. One is out on bond. Six remain in jail.

Eddie Lacey, RB Alabama?
It won;t happen, but how great would it be to have Eli handing off to tandem of David Wilson and Eddie Lacey for the next few years.
I think the Steelers will grab Lacey in the first round, but this guy would be a favorite if we could get him.
Oh well, it's nice to dream.
Also any thoughts on a RB in 3 or 4? Who do you guys like since that is more realistic?

Yes, I've heard about the LCBA, and I plan on joining. In fact I'm getting my nucs from the current VP of the LCBA.
I have already joined the Madison County Beekeepers Assocs., and I attended the beekeeping class taught by Bob Fanning, the owner of the www.k4vb.com web site.
Everyone I've encountered in the beekeeping community so far has gone out of their way to be helpful.
Hello from Shelby County! This is a great forum for info and advice.....lots of knowledgeable folks on here!
Welcome, happy beekeeping!

How could I live in the shadow of the world's largest pair of cast-iron buttocks without being easily amused?

Out of curiosity: where are you planning to place your hives? I know that Southside is blessed with what we called (although I don't actually know if they are) cherry laurel trees and there are many ornamental plantings, unused lots covered in dandelion and other flowering weeds, so there's plenty of forage for your girls; my curiosity is more directed at hive placement. Will your apartment complex allow you to keep the hive there (on a terrace or rooftop, perhaps)? Are there regulations in the city code concerning beekeeping (some cities ban it, some restrict it, some don't regulate it at all)? And - vital consideration, here - have you arranged for one of the micro-breweries to make mead from your harvest?
I'm making the mead myself. (That's what got me into this. I've been making mead for about a year now- 1 of 4 batches is now in the bottle.)
The bees will reside at a house just over the mountain in Homewood. (the girls will live in the shadow of Vulcan's ample bum.) There's a lovely little side-yard that has the right combination of sun, shade, water source, etc... There are extensive gardens nearby (flowers, veggies, etc.), so I doubt the girls go hungry.
Be well
Sounds like a good setup! Urban beeking interests me because of the challenges it presents (pollutants, lawn chemicals, intolerant neighbors, civic restrictions, etc.) and the obvious need to get natural pollinators back into action inside the urban jungle. I correspond with a young NYC couple who have 2 hives on their apartment roof - evidently, there was once a pigeon roost up there, so they took over the space. They say that the honey they get is sweet and clear, with no more than a manageable loss of bees over the winter. Best of luck with your hives!
Interesting. I think it was just last week or week before, that NYC legalized beekeeping. Before, they had been classified in the same group with venomous or dangerous animals. There were lots of 'undergound' rooftop beekeepers before that.
I'm relieved to know the NYC honey does not taste like a subway station floor.
Be well

I guess I can't hate the Patriots anymore. The image of Kraft and having BB be a part of the Giants for a long time kind of keeps me from hating them.
As a Giants fan I of course hate on the Cowboys and Eagles but I do have a soft spot for the Redskins. They were a great team in the 1980s but haven't been relevant in years. I go to their stadium and their fans are kind, even in defeat.
In the AFC I want to see the KC Chiefs do well. They gave us tremendous applause and a standing ovation the first game after 911. They have a great stadium, crowd and tradition and they've been down so long I just want to see them do well.
How about you? What team do you sort of pull for that isn't our own team?
PS. It's nice to see the Lions playing well... finally too!

While coming down down a twisty mountain road, I hit a small patch of gravel in a tight left hand turn going about 35. My rear tire slid out and I grabbed the front brake (which only made things worse). Low sided and slid. My bike got wedged under a guard rail, so did I, about 15 feet away. I hit a wooden guard post with my left side.
As soon as I stood up I took my helmet off and threw it in total anger. I went over to the bike to assess the damage and broke into tears. I'm not sure what DIDN'T get damaged. Luckily, a bunch of people were getting off work from a ski lodge on top of the mountain and stopped to help. I used one of their phones to call 911 (the adrenaline was wearing off and I was starting to hurt), my phone didn't get any reception. While I was making phone calls they used my camera to take some pictures. They also took a picture of the spot that I hit, you can see the dent in the ground where I was.
I rode to the hospital in the ambulance, and spent 5 hours in the ER. Nothing's broken, but I'm badly bruised and have a large piece of road rash where my jacket came up a bit, even though it was hooked into my belt. I can hardly walk, due to severe bruising or something on my left hip and flank. I haven't seen my gear yet, but my boots are really the only thing that made it out.
I seriously hope the bike is totalled. I don't have full coverage (couldn't afford if I made twice as much money as I do now) But if it is totalled then my GAP insurance should take care of the payments.
All in all, I made a mistake which made a bad situation worse. There were plenty of variables that caused me to lowside, but if I stayed off the front brake I might have been able to save it. All I can remember clearly is looking back while I was sliding, and seeing the bike about a foot away from my face, and thinking "This can't be happening to me." I had a nervous breakdown at the scene, and still feel all sorts of emotions welling up inside me. I just want this to be over.

Sold Out $499.00
Valdicava Brunello Riserva Madonna del Piano (1.5 Liter Magnum) 2006
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Madonna del Piano is the first single-vineyard in Montalcino. Valdicava makes some of the most intense, richly flavored Brunello's coming out ofMontalcino today. Their philosophy is to work more in the vineyards to respect the balance of the place. The winery likes to produce a Brunello that represents the best tradition in structure and aromatics with more elegance, harmony and fruit.
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling - "I tasted this about a year ago at the winery and I was blown away. This time I tasted it in a blind tasting in Tuscany and it stood above the rest. Amazing aromas of blueberries and flowers, with black truffles and pie. Foie gras, mushrooms and white truffles too. Powerful, with great depth of gorgeous fruit and ultra-fine tannins. It fills your mouth with fruit and ripe tannins. Complex and long. A breathtaking wine. Truly glorious. Better in 2015."
Wine Enthusiast - "This beautiful Riserva shows enormous thickness and blackness, like midnight of a new moon. The wine delivers impenetrable density, extraction, black fruit, spice, berry preserves, licorice, asphalt, ground black pepper, cherry liqueur and creme de cassis. There are seemingly no limits to the intensity and complexity here. The mouthfeel is dense, plush, firmly structured and very long. Keep this Brunello safely in your cellar 20 years or more.
Cellar Selection"
The Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano is a huge, towering wine. Waves of vibrant, intensely perfumed fruit hit the palate, backed up by the firm, broad tannins of the vintage. Violets, spices, new leather and licorice develop in the glass, yet the 2006 remains painfully young and stubborn. Clean mineral notes frame a blast of dark cherries, plums and camphor on the palate-staining finish. Readers will need to be especially patient, but the 2006 Madonna del Piano is stacking up to be one of the all-time greats from proprietor Vincenzo Abbruzzese. I followed the wine over the course of two days, during which it continued to improve while seeming to gain freshness and structure. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. "
Wine Spectator - "Dark and inky, this wine boasts mushroom, forest floor, tar and dried plum aromas and flavors. There's a serious structure, yet this is well-balanced in the end, if more on the side of concentration and muscularity than finesse. Best from 2014 through 2030."

Valdicava Winery
Montalcino is home to the opulent of the Sangiovese grape. At our precise latitude of 43 degrees, the warmth of the nearby Tirrean Sea, the protective barrier of the "Monte Amiata," the coolness of the wooded areas, the breeze and the moderate rainfall all coincide to facilitate the growth of these grapes to fragrant, full maturity. Valdicava is located in the Montosoli area which is famous in Montelcino for creating wines with great balance of body and aromas. We pay the utmost attention towards maintaining the individual characteristics of our wine in order to exalt the spirit of the place, the 'genius loci' of our estate. View all Valdicava Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

the 444 TT (444 Triple Threat)
MY main concern would be the feeding and extraction of empty brass with very little taper. head spacing off the case mouth is also a issue.
the .41 and the .375 versions of this round should not be overlooked.
This round would work very well on 223 length bolt actions very well also and you can bet If I have to shell out for a reamer there will be a savage bolt action 44??? barrel for my 223 made.
lol. I like the 44 BBSKMA .
Like you said the .375 might be better as there is a wider range of bullets. The .375 Shannon and .375/38-40 Rimless would be close. Plus it would have a shoulder to headspace off of. Not a big fan of headspacing off the mouth either.
Honestly the mag modification isn't really that hard! These would fit into a G3 mag with a little extra space. Right? Could you cut a mag short, leaving enough for tabs, then add a spine with holes that the tabs can fold in to.
Or you could do like VZ and I are doing and just buy some square tubing and use some AK mag springs.

It seems to fit the G3 mag very well just to long. I was thinking of just taking a section out in the middle doing some type of overlap and a couple tig welds. I have like a dozen from when tapco had them cheap. I had planed to mod one for my 444 marlin build as that round is shorter than a 308. this would free up some trigger guard space on that build. I think a 450 bush master or possabley a 458 socom AR mag might be workable but the cost and still having to mod it might not be worth it. the g3 would need a differant springng if it was modifed. I think a steel 223 mag with a lip mod would be the easiest not the cheapest though. I think a single stack would be the best as far as getting it to feed. I am starting to think a custom reamer might be worth the $$$$
Barrel twist will have a large factor as to what bullets this or any .44 based weapon can shoot. Is there a place you can buy taperd case expanders?? I am thinking of getting new 444 marlin dies likely RCBS so I can get bits and pieces to intechange of the same brand. that way if this round does come to fruitation It can be reloaded with currently avaliable dies and listed part numbers sort of a way to standardize it. I am sure if one could get final version built and a gun that functions correctly that custom reamers and die sets could be made that would be worth the money.
I am still thinking a .41 0r .375 version might be better. yea the .45 bushmaster,458 socom and .50 grendal are bigger but so what. they also have slower MV and kick like hell. How many people really want one other than the mines bigger than yours thing?? In reality with the limited powder capacity a .375 0r .41 or .416 bullet is going to likely have better performance and accuracy further out. the .375 has bullets up to around 300 grains and the 416 has bullets up to around 400 grain. (about he same as the .44). The the 325 grain bullet that the 416 rigby and the 416 weatherby use, would possably be a good choice for hunting. there is a 400 grain round nose solid for you guys that think you are going to go Rambo and need to shoot through solid doors and army tanks and all that. IMOA it is cool to say yea mines bigger than yours BUT how many guys actually hunt with a 460weatherby magnum??? there is a reason that 7mm to .35 cal rounds are the most popular in north america. unless I am going RINO hunting in Wisconsin soon I thing maybe a little smaller might be a lot better. If you want to give it a Macho name call it the 375 Anti SUBURBAN SUPRRESSION HOSTILE OVERLY LOUD ELEMINATOR. OR A.S.S.H.O.L.E for short. LOL
My dad would be all over something like a .41 because that's "his" caliber... most all the performance of a .44 without the nasty aftertaste
Now I'm interested in how you would shoulder the .44 GS to a .41 - is there enough there for a neck?

Summary? Not everyone is a scout subscriber.
David Taylor (PG, 6'2", Cybex Bayreuth, Germany) 5-12 FG, 1 rebound, 3 assist, 1 steal, 13 TP, 33 min Solid and smart passer who keeps his head up and sees the floor. David does a great job as a PG of turning the corner off the pick and is able to get to the middle, where he can shoot the pull up or kick to the open player on the perimeter. Good floor general. Handles the ball well- equally effective with either hand. Good defensive player who moves well laterally and has quick hands- stays low. Did not shoot any shots outside of about 18 feet in 33 minutes- needs to continue to improve his shooting range.
Hasn't stopped them from emailing me though.
i am probably going to re-up now that bubba is on board. already he has put out a couple of really good articles.

Town Square
Utilities Department is City's Slush Fund
Original post made by Chris, Palo Alto Hills, on May 2, 2007
Diana Diamond's recent column (Web Link) reveals more details about just what a slush fund the utilities revenues are for our government.
It's been previously noted how the city gets around legal spending restrictions by transferring inherently municipal functions, like street light maintenance to the Utilities Department. The accounting shenanigans uncovered by Diamond, and the justifications for them proffered by city officials, show just how intellectually dishonest the whole "Utilities" enterprise has become.
Diamond's piece notes that 25% or so of the city's general fund budget comes from the various Utility transfer schemes. This is money that comes out of the pockets of all Utility users - who (for the most part) are residents and taxpayers of the city. That is, this 25% of city revenues is functionally equivalent to a tax - of upwards of $30 million per year.
We should remember this the next time city officials plead poverty when asking for even more taxes for bonds and the like.

The Utility Department, which used to be a shining example of how well Palo Alto is run, has become an embarrassment on many levels - and an example of how flabby city fiscal management has become.
We all know well the huge management lapses that resulted in numerous firings as utility employees stole from the city and performed private jobs while on city timeclocks.
Now the extent of financial mischief that is part and parcel of the city's ownership of its utility department is also becoming visible.
Many at city hall know there is significant potential legal jeopardy (under proposition 13 and its follow-on measures) as a result of the large money transfers from the utility department into general revenues.
We've been fortunate that some anti-tax group hasn't taken us on because the city's legal case is very problematical. The bigger problem however is that like some dot-com start up, the city has been awash in money for so long that its lost the habits of sound fiscal management.
And so rather than be in a better financial position than neighboring cities that have had to budget for capital projects (see Mountain View and it's new library), we've spent money on all kinds of frills, on exorbitant employee benefits and the like, in part because the utility revenue seemed like a bottomless money well. And so now we wake up and see that despite our money gusher, we can't fix our infrastructure without (it is claimed) significant new taxes.
The dotcoms that took all their employees on Hawaii vacations are now mostly bankrupt. That's not an option for us. It's time for somebody to inject some discipline into the processes at City Hall. An honest accounting of the Utility Department and the way it interacts with the rest of the city would be a good place to start.
a resident of Midtown
on May 2, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Don's comparison to dotcoms seems like a good one to me. I am amazed at how easily the city throws money around for consultants, studies, polls and lawsuits and similar things that it seems more appropriate for the city's staff to do (or that should not be done at all.) That's just the little stuff.
There's big stuff too. A few years ago, the city spent $6 or $7 million on the tunnel under the railroad tracks that almost nobody uses because it was poorly designed and thought out. That would have covered 1/4 of the money the Auditor indicates we need for street repair.
I had no idea the city got an extra $30 million/year from the Utility fees. No wonder they don't have any spending discipline, or seem to know the value of a dollar.

For years the city had a giveaway deal for Federal power that allowed low rates and also subsidies to a profligate city life style.
They failed to plan for the end of that deal, and instead went gaga for green.
Sell the utilities and put the proceeds into funding retirement, then go pay as you go.
a resident of Midtown
on May 2, 2007 at 9:28 pm
There also another downside to this scam - if the $30,000,000 were a tax, the residents could deduct it from their income taxes. Since its a "utility bill" they cannot.
What really is bad, is this $30,000,000 per year transfer is not enough! Some of our council members now want to put in place a per employee tax on businesses, and pass additional taxes to fund a bond issue for library upgrades & the new public safety building. Yet they can find the money to fund a new "environmental staff position".
a resident of Jordan Middle School
on May 2, 2007 at 10:29 pm
How did 14 million/yr transferred to the General fund become 30 million?
On the whole, I'm quite happy with utilities transfer to the General Fund. It's the fairest tax I pay! I'm tired of subsidizing seniors and Boomers
By the way, deductions for local tax mean nothing to us living in AMT land.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on May 2, 2007 at 10:35 pm
So if we had PG&E we would be paying even more.
My wallet is very happy with PA Utilities.
a resident of Professorville
on May 2, 2007 at 11:00 pm
RS and 14k, the issue is not whether the utility rates in PA are lower than PG&E. (They are for electricity because in the fairly distant past, more insightful city leaders than we apparently have now, made some good choices. For gas, we pay more than PG&E.)
The issue is that the city is using shady accounting and subterfuge to transfer money (in a questionably legal fashion) from utility rate payers to the general fund. Even apart from the legality of the practice, it's wrong for the city to be doing this in a manner that's largely hidden from voters - as it has been doing for years.
Maybe most people feel like you guys and don't mind that part of your utility bills really are a tax - but let's do it openly and vote on it if appropriate.
My guess is that a lot of people are upset to find that the city seems like it's running a sleazy grifting operation in the way it accounts for utility costs. The phony land lease charges detailed by Diamond are enough to make me sick. When added to the rest of the nonsense that's come out, I think it's time to reassess the whole department and shine some light on these matters.
a resident of Midtown
on May 3, 2007 at 6:40 am
After we sell our utilities to PG&E and pay off our debts and fund our generous pensions, PG&E will pay taxes on their system to help the city go pay as we go.
We might even, then, consider the advice I gave 30 years ago and devolve the city into a municipal service disrict with enumerated powers.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on May 3, 2007 at 9:06 am
My last gas bill was 108.55, using PG&E rate structure, it would have been 107.25. Pretty much the same result.
Anyway that was my point, I was trying to characterize the accounting practice, I'll leave that to others.
a resident of Professorville
on May 3, 2007 at 10:57 am
RS, Obviously, if utility rates in Palo Alto are inflated over their costs by 30% to fund transfers into general revenues, then the rates you pay as a utility user will reflect that.
Whatever your bill is, and whether it's lower than PG&E or not, you'd be paying much less if the phony accounting at city hall had not artificially raised utility "costs" and your bill.
At city hall, they seem to think that if they negotiate a bargain for energy or for real estate, that the benefit of that bargain belongs to the government wastrels, and not to the residents. If Stanford charges the city $1/yr to rent land used for utility purposes, then that's the amount that should go on the books for computing utility rates. Instead, they put a larger "market rate" on the books, charge us utility customers more and use the money to fund lavish city pensions, pay for unneeded consultants and otherwise fritter away the money. That's wrong.
a resident of Midtown
on May 4, 2007 at 10:01 am
Our Utility rates have just gone up AGAIN. Unfortunately, the tax payers of Palo Alto are unorganized. When these increases are presented to Council there is very little or no protests from the public, and that is when we, as Utility users, have the opportunity to object.
Also, the public obviously approves of rate increases because they voted for an increase in the storm drain fee.
a resident of Community Center
on May 4, 2007 at 3:52 pm
Let's try to separate spending decisions from funding decisions. It is common to spend if the funds are there, and spend differently if funds are not there, but spending and funding are different matters.
It happens that the city owned utlity has been a source of funds for Palo Alto for some time. As other funding sources have adjusted over time, up, flat and more recently down in the case of sales and hotel taxes, utilities have been a relatively convenient way to either save residents on the cost of power when times were better on other fronts, and to cover the spending when sources from elsewhere were not sufficient to cover these things.
I suspect there are many other municipalities that would love to have as flexible a funding mechanism as the Palo Alto utility system. The real question to my mind is a policy one--what is the Utility's role as a source of funding for Palo Alto and the rate payers? There clearly is some confusion about that, and a clear statement of policy that policy makers, city management, and rate payers all understand could be helpful.
At one extreme could be a policy that the utility is to run as a stand-alone entity, paying fair market prices for its operations, retaining earnings as needed to keep a vital and efficient operation running, charging rate payers accordingly, and the utility would not "dividend" money to the Palo Alto general fund for purposes of using the money elsewhere in the community.
This likely would result in rate payers being charged considerably less than comparable PG&E rate payers, and in the past, the utility may have operated more or less this way. I don't know the history, but the lower rates from times past suggest that the utility to a great degree did operate this way at an earlier time.
At the other extreme, the Utility could be viewed as a mechanism to fund other spending priorities that our elected officials choose to include in the city's budgets. In times like we currently find ourselves, the Utility is used to cover expenses for services, infrastructure and other aspects of City operations that either would not get done or would have to be paid for some other way in order to get done. It seems like we have gradually drifted to this state of affairs with the utility, and the obvious question becomes whether that is the role the utility should have for the community or if its role is something else.
If we hadn't had the utility, clearly some things on which spending has occurred, particularly in various services, would be not as substantial as they currently are, unless they were getting paid for some other ways, which I would suspect could not come close to matching what the utility has been used to fund in recent times.
I think that at the end of the day, it comes down once again to how does the community want to spend the revenues available to it. We currently have a very services oriented budget, and matters such as infrastructure are not sufficiently funded with the current revenue sources. We need to decide if we have the right mix of services and infrastructure spending, and what level of spending we think is appropriate for the community overall, in light of the character we want the community to have.
Underlying that includes what that means for utility rates or what utility rates mean for spending available. Rate payers could be paying something that compares with PG&E, and any surpluses could continue to "dividend" to the city to pay for other things deemed important. The rates could be based on a cost recovery plus depreciation model, and instead of having money available for the city to use elsewhere for services or infrastructure, the community benefits from lower rates.
I actually think we are fortunate to have the utility as a potential funding source, one that other communities do not. But, it may be contributing to avoiding getting a firm answer to the larger spending question of how much the city should be spending and on what mix services and infrastructure. That question has to be answered on its own merits, without regard to the potential availability of any particular revenue or funding source.

Packet Capture and Traffic Analysis
Packet Capture and Traffic Analysis
This session is intended to help new or beginning network administrators learn how to use packet capture software for basic network troubleshooting and traffic analysis. It will cover both installation and use of packet capture software and the fundamentals of basic network traffic analysis, including identifying communication issues, monitoring network performance, verifying network security and tracking communication transactions.
Define traffic analysis
Identify reasons for traffic analysis
Your responsibilities
Packet capture software
Capture packets
Analyze packets
What Is Traffic Analysis?
"Network analysis is the process of capturing network traffic and inspecting it closely to determine what is happening on the network."– Orebaugh, Angela. Ethereal Packet Sniffing. Rockland, MA: Syngress Publishing, Inc., 2004.
Note: Traffic analysis, network analysis, protocol analysis, packet analysis and packet sniffing all typically refer to the same thing.
Reasons to Analyze Traffic
Identify network or communication issues
Monitor network performance
Verify network security
Track communication transactions
Log network traffic
Discover source of unwanted traffic
Discover compromised workstations
Ensure users are adhering to AUP
Capture passwords
Capture network information
Read confidential information
Determine network information
Back to Top
What do you need to know?
You don't have to be an expert. You can get a good idea of what might be causing a network problem simply by looking at the packets.
You do need to know the following information for your network: – Network layout - network diagram
– Server information
– Application information
– IP address information
You also need to have a basic understanding of network communication: – Protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS)
– MAC addresses
– IP addresses
– TCP is connection-oriented
– UDP is connectionless
Ethernet breaks information into packets. Each packet has a header with important information, such as source and destination.
Packets are sent and only the destination device responds.
MAC addresses and IP addresses can be spoofed.
How Packet Capture Works
Collects packets without modifying them.Promiscuous mode - Receives all traffic, not just traffic for that machine.
You can only capture traffic from the network you are on. - Flat network
- Switched network
- Port mirroring
Your Responsibilities
Notify administration and users.
Add a disclaimer to your AUP.
"For security or maintenance purposes, equipment and network traffic may be monitored at any time."

I've read about bees getting 'demoralized' when you put an empty brood box before they're ready for it...but when someone actually said it out loud at our club meeting last week, it sounded downright strange.
I'll assume that when one says "demoralized" they actually mean that it is somehow detrimental to the colony to put an empty brood box on top of a small colony. If you keep the entrance reduced until the colony is strong enough to defend it's turf, how could the presence of an empty brood box up top be, um, demoralizing?
It can't be a 'keeping warm' thing, since bees stay warm (when necessary) by clustering. it can't be a "more space to defend" thing if you have an entrance reducer in place.
When a swarm moves into new space, it obviously moves into space that is, at that moment, far larger than they can use. How is putting on a new brood box 'prematurely' any different?
Maybe I'm missing something??

Once I finish my exams I want to get right into developing a game, I am going to format my computer and install VS 2012 on it. My primary language is C#. All I want to develop is a 2D tile based game, and Ive already created a prototype to follow by in XNA. Does this mean I should use Direct2D? Or just go with Direct3D? (i seriously have no idea on this one).
I am very familiar with the XNA framework. I would love to use this framework but Microsoft seems to have lost complete interest in it (link), I really don't want to use dead technology.
So what technology would other C# game programmers use at this point in time?
Some of the things I have thought of doing are:
- Use SharpDX (together with the toolkit, current in beta, although does look very promising), this provides DirectX 11 functionality which is pretty cool, but no WinXP support then.
- Use SharpDX without the toolkit (id have to learn how DirectX actually works underneath)
- Just use XNA, but instead program under the MonoGame framework.
Opinions, thoughts?
All replies are appreciated, thanks.
