You're in the city center the moment you step out of the door. The apartement is located in the quiet part of the old centre, in the so-called "museumquarter". Around the corner you will find the Utrecht canals with shops & restaurants, the main musea and a five minute walk from the famous Dom tower.
This lovely spot in the middle of the old city centre of Utrecht is available for anyone how wants to stay in Utrecht for a while. I live on the first floor of this building and will be available for questions or to make you familiar with Utrecht.
You can easily reach us, it's a fifteen minute walk from the central railwaystation 'Utrecht CS'. Reaching the apartment by car is also easy. Paid city parking spots always available around the corner (expensive). Parking in garage nearby on request (€ 15 a day).
Utrecht is a great city to visit: take a walk through the old city center, enjoy the canals, or have a climb up the Dom tower. All in walking distance. There are quite a lot of interesting museums as well. If you want to visit Amsterdam, it's only 30 minutes by train.

A lovely apartment conveniently located in the heart of Utrecht. Could not find fault with the apartment and facilities. Communication from and with Cees was professional and straight forward. Where else would you want to stay in Utrecht? Thank you Cees and Wimdu.
Cees is an excellent host, there if you need him. The apartment is very comfortable, newly decorated and in a lovely quiet area of Utrecht, convenient for shops, restaurants and the sites.
Within easy walking distance of the Utrecht Centraal railway Station.
Would we use this property again? Of Course!
We had a very nice stay in Cees' studio apartment. It was spacious and had everything we needed, and is located in a quiet street near one of the canals and only a 10m minute walk to the city centre. Cees is a very attentive and responsive host - doesn't intrude but is always there to assist when needed. Utrecht is a beautiful city and a great base from which to explore the rest of the Netherlands. We had side trips to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, but were always pleased to get back to the "local" feel of Utrecht. We would like to return there, and would be very happy to stay at Cees' apartment, and recommend it to others.
We returned to Cees`s beautiful apartment this year, and felt very much at home. It is in a good central position and is very comfortable, spacious and well- equipped. Cees is friendly and helpful and we have no hesitation in recommending his apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Utrecht.
Fantastic apartment minutes away from the center of Utrecht!
No problems at all, and Cees was very helpful and welcoming! would definitely stay again.
We had a superb short break in Utrecht. Cees' attic apartment has been beautifully renovated and is very handily situated for wandering around the historic heart of Utrecht (and you can get your bearings pretty quickly with the rooftop views towards the Dom Tower). We received a warm welcome and found the apartment to be a very relaxing place in which to stay. Had we been staying for longer (e.g. a week) then a bit more storage space for clothes, such as drawers or a wardrobe, would have been good but that's a minor point.
Utrecht itself is beautiful. There are plenty of lovely restaurants, cafes, and shops strung along the two-tier canals in the centre. We'd definitely like to return in the near future to do a bit more exploring.
Paul and Elaine.
Marvellos days in Utrecht in this wonderful house and very kind owner.
Perfect location also. I would repeat, for sure!!
We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful apartment. It is spacious, light and comfortable. Cees is kind and helpful. We would recommend this place to stay.
We had a fantastic stay in Utrecht. Cees' apartment is comfortable, warm, very well equipped and in a great position. Easy to walk to any of the sights of the city. Cees is a wonderful host and has thought of everything. Thank you for the memories.

Trafalgar Day gun marks anniversary at Fort Nelson - Thursday, 14 October 2010
Trafalgar Day – marking one of Britain's greatest Naval victories – will be commemorated at Fort Nelson later this month with the firing of a 205-year-old gun, of the kind used on board HMS Victory in 1805.
A uniformed crew of sailors will fire the restored 12-pounder gun at the Royal Armouries' fort near Fareham, at 12 noon and 3pm on Trafalgar Day (Thursday, October 21) and again on Sunday, October 24, as part of a two-day event to mark the great battle.
The gun firings will be followed by a live performance by one of the Fort's resident actors, Tim Lowe, acting as an 1805 sailor giving an "eyewitness" account.
There will also be a Trafalgar Day service at 11am on Trafalgar Day only (Thursday, October 21), held jointly with The Nelson Society, conducted by a Naval Chaplain from HMS Collingwood. This will include a minute's silence, honouring the 205th anniversary of the Admiral's death at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Horatio, Lord Nelson, has held a special place in local people's hearts for over 200 years – and his monument stands proudly on Portsdown Hill, opposite the Royal Armouries Museum at Fort Nelson. The monument was paid for by the sailors – including large donations by many of his men.
Nelson masterminded the defeat of the French and Spanish from his ship HMS Victory, now docked at nearby Portsmouth. The battle cost him his life, as he died onboard after being hit by a French sniper's bullet. The victory at Trafalgar meant that Britain was safe from invasion and was the world's strongest naval power for many years.
Fort Operations Manager Mark Selwood said: 'We enjoy marking the event as there are links between the Fort and Lord Nelson as the fort was built to protect against possible invasion from the French and is named after him. The carriage of the gun we fire is painted in the colours of HMS Victory and is the type of artillery used on the top gun deck of the ship, so it is very possible that it saw some action at Trafalgar.
'The battle saw Nelson spectacularly defeat the French and Spanish navies, removing the threat of possible invasion of Britain – so we have much to be thankful for.'

Notes to editorsFacilities will be somewhat limited at the Fort on Trafalgar Day, as electricity supplies will be switched off, as a planned part of the £3.5m project to transform Fort Nelson into a state-of-the-art museum. The main Redan barrack block building and tunnels will be closed, but visitors will still be able to access parade, ramparts, ditch and Artillery Hall. All daily events will still go ahead, and the refreshments kiosk will be offering a basic service (the cafe will be shut). The museum will close at 4pm that day.
- The Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson houses the national collection of historic cannon and big guns. The museum houses one of the world's finest collections with over 350 cannon dating back over 600 years. The collection originated at HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.
- The Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson also tells the story of the Palmerston Forts, built to protect Portsmouth from a feared French invasion in the 1860's.
- Every day, visitors can see one of the big guns fired in salute, watch our resident actors bring to life characters from 1,000 years of history, explore secret underground tunnels and enjoy incredible views from the ramparts. An extensive programme of special event spectaculars takes place throughout the year.
- Fort Nelson is open every day except 24-26 December. April to October 10am –5pm (Wed 11am-5pm), November – March 10.30am – 4pm (Wed 11.30-4pm).

Depends on the useage. Is this to be a range gun, home protection gun, or CCW? Also, slides can loosen a bit with time as they get broken in, or at least that is my experience.
From what you're saying, I'm guessing CCW. In that case, what sort of caliber are you looking at? From her issues with pulling back the slide I'm thinking .380 or 9mm myself, as such, perhaps something like the Ruger LCP?

Reviews of this property
we have a very pleasent stay in the appartment from Alfonso and friends the location is perfect near the centre of Valencia an a supermarket as neighbours
is also very nice . organising a taxi for us in the middle of the nigh to go to the airport was not a problem.
My brother and I stayed in Alfonso's place for a week in August. We had a great experience there. When we arrived the apartment was perfect. There's WiFi, a TV, air conditioning etc. Everything you need really. We didn't meet Alfonso but the guy we were dealing with, Joserra, was really nice and helpful. I'd definitely recommend this apartment to people wanting to stay in Valencia.
We had a great time in our flat in Valencia. When we arrived Joserra was there (who speaks very good English) to help us on our feet. The flat is in the middle of the center with a metro close and the old city on a walkable distance. Furthermore we had contact with them all week they helped us with every question we had.
Thanks for the great stay!
Site: very central which allowed us after spending the day sightseeing or on the beach, not give us lazy to go out and dine around there.
The apartment is well conditioned and has everything you need to spend a few days of vacation.
Hosts: Joserra is very nice, makes you feel at home and if you need it for anything, you soon get answers.
Strongly recommended.
El sitio: muy centrico lo que nos permitia despues de pasar el dia de visitas o en la playa, no nos diese pereza salir una vuelta y cenar por ahi.
El apartamento esta bien acondicionado y tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos dias de vacaciones.
Los anfitriones: Joserra es muy majo, te hace sentir como en casa y si lo necesitas para lo que sea, enseguida te responde.
Totalmente recomendable.

The apartment unit is ideally located to the city center, to the metro, to the train station. It is very quiet dhkein car noise as location to the courtyard. Supermarket just next door. The apartment is clean and functional. Alfonso and Joserra are friendly and personable. We have Spanish speaking with you, sure, but also very good to speak English because they have to speak English with the most guests. We would not hesitate to go back to this apartment!

When Pentangle formed around late 1966 or early 1967 (accounts vary), Jansch and Renbourn had already recorded one album together (Bert and John), and done some solo recordings as well. Jansch was more inclined toward blues and contemporary songwriting than Renbourn, who was stronger in traditional British folk music. Jacqui McShee, whose bell-clear, high singing set the standard (along with Sandy Denny) for female British folk-rock vocals, began rehearsing with the pair. After a false start with a forgotten rhythm section, Thompson and Cox -- who had been working with Alexis Korner -- were brought in to complete the quintet.
Pentangle's first three albums -- The Pentangle (1968), the double-LP Sweet Child (1968), and Basket of Light (1969) -- are not only their best efforts, but arguably their only truly essential ones. With Shel Talmy acting as producer, the band rarely took a misstep in its mastery of diverse styles and material. Thompson and Cox gave even the traditional folk ballads a jazz swing and verve; the guitar interplay of Jansch (who was also a capable singer) and Renbourn was downright thrilling, each complementing and enhancing the other without showing off or getting in each other's way. McShee's beautiful vocals, though not as emotionally resonant as her close counterpart Sandy Denny, were an under-appreciated component to the band's success with the pop audience.
And Pentangle were very popular for a time, at least in England, where Basket of Light made number five, and "Light Flight" was a small hit single. They introduced some electric guitars on their early-'70s albums, which generally suffered from weaker material and a less unified group effort. The original lineup broke up in 1973; Jansch and Renbourn (who had never really abandoned their solo careers) continued to record often as soloists, and remained top attractions on the folk circuit. Thompson joined John Martyn for a while, and has remained active as a session musician, in addition to recording some work of his own for the Hannibal label. The original group reunited for the reasonably accomplished Open the Door album in the early '80s, and other versions of the group recorded and toured throughout the '80s and '90s, usually featuring McShee and Jansch as the sole remaining original members. ~ Richie Unterberger

(By the way, I disagree with the bio on this. The writer did not think any of the albums with a touch of electricity was essential. Cruel Sister is one of those albums, and it is fascinating. The bits of electric guitar blend very well--most strikingly on the gorgeous Lord Franklin's Dream. And the opening cut, A Maid Who's deep in love, is quietly hilarious. )
gifted one. The sessions recorded at an English pub (you tube has some vids)
with Bert's unique voice in duet with Jacqui, are gems. Check them out.
If there is any time available before I die, I want to listen to Sandy Denny sing anything, Maddy Pryor sing All Around My Hat and Jacqui McShee
sing the Hunter's song--oh yeah, it's gonna take a long time for me to die because I've got about a hundred other requests...
yet I was introduced to other Pentangle selections which were enjoyable to listen to instead. Must broaden the horizons Thanks.

Harvey Silverglate is a difficult talent to pigeonhole. A combative criminal appellate and trial lawyer, he has dedicated himself to defending civil liberties in their broadest definition. In the process, Silverglate has carved out a special reputation as a scourge of campus-based "political correctness," and has won numerous awards for his long-standing legal and political coverage in the Phoenix.
Now, he has published his second book, Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent (Encounter Books, $25.95).
Silverglate's thesis is as provocative as it is simple: justice has become sufficiently perverted in this nation that federal prosecutors, if they put their minds to it, could find a way to indict almost any one of us for almost anything. It is a truly radical notion.
Silverglate presents a series of freestanding case studies that range from Wall Street to the Massachusetts State House, to Boston City Hall, to a suburban doctor's office, to a Midwest university, to the newsroom of the New York Times.
At this curious moment in history, Silverglate's book might not shock either the left or the right. For some time now, the two opposing wings of the American centrist polity have been alarmed by the predatory nature of our national government. For those in the middle of the political spectrum, however, Silverglate's book should be a bracing wake-up call. Liberty and freedom are being compromised, one prosecution at a time.
Your book was written during the Bush years. But now, Barack Obama is president. Why should the concerns you lay out inThree Felonies a Daystill be on progressive minds? The big, bad Bush Republicans are gone.You raise an interesting point. A lot of my liberal friends assume that my book is about prosecutions under the eight years of Bush. This, however, is not a phenomenon that is relegated to any particular political party. The abuses are found under every president from Reagan to today.
Including Clinton and Obama?Under Clinton, yes. And I see little reason to think that they will not continue under Obama.
Pinpoint when prosecutors began running amok.The mid 1980s. That's when I began to notice this phenomenon. I have been a criminal-defense and civil-liberties lawyer from 1967 onward, so somewhere short of two decades into my legal career is when I noticed this problem.
We have an independent legal profession, trial by jury, an insulated judiciary. How great can the problem really be?The problem with the independent judiciary is that an enormous number of federal judges have been co-opted by federal prosecutors. It's the taking of activities that the normal, average person would not consider to be criminal and squeezing it somehow into the definition of crime. Prosecutors take advantage of vagueness in the law and too many judges let them get away with it. The real problem is this: only a small, tiny, infinitesimal number of these prosecutions are actually challenged to the point where the judge has to really put on his or her thinking cap and think critically about whether the conduct laid out is criminal, and in only an infinitesimal number of cases do defense lawyers really understand this problem. If they did, there would be more challenges to indictments with motions to dismiss.

C.O. impacts linger after government reopens
Sales and projects put on hold, now playing catch-up
BEND, Ore. - Pat and Frank Putnam of Sunriver spend their fall enjoying the outdoors in the forest.
"We dig some trees and some shrubs," Frank said. Friday "We do it once in awhile -- probably the third time we've done it."
To do that, you need a permit from the Forest Service -- and for the past 2 1/2 weeks, the Putnams' hobby has been put on hold.
"The door was locked -- we came by last week," he said.
We found them waiting in a long line Friday at the Forest Service office in Bend, now that its employees are back to work.
"I think everyone was smiling yesterday to be back at work and getting back to what we like to do, and that's part of serving the public," said Jean Nelson-Dean, a spokeswoman for the Deschutes National Forest.
The shutdown delayed sales and slowed projects, including timber sales, firewood-cutting permits, a final decision on a Bend water pipeline permit that was put on hold and several prescribed burns.
"We only have so many people on, and now we have fewer people on, because a lot of the firefighters we would have kept on through October, we have to let them go, their time has run out," Nelson-Dean said. "We have a limited number of people, but we will jump on it and do as much as we possibly can."
You can expect to see smoke-filled skies starting next week as crews work to make up for lost time before the snow starts to fall.
But maybe most importantly, people are back at work and resources are back in stock.
"We have most of our vendors restocked with firewood permits, so people can go back to those vendors or come here and get them," Nelson-Dean said. "We are just really happy to be back."

Brothers get probation for killing Ochocos sheep dogs
Hunters plead no contest to first-degree animal abuse
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - Two brothers -- one a retired Oregon State Police trooper -- were sentenced Monday following pleas of 'no contest' to animal abuse charges for fatally shooting three Great Pyrenees sheep guard dogs last year in the Ochoco National Forest.
"You've both been convicted of animal abuse in the first degree," said Crook County Circuit Judge Daniel Ahern. "The court is going to order that you both be put on 24 months bench probation."
Paul Johnson, 67, of Roseburg, and Bend resident and retired OSP trooper Craig Johnson, 60 changed their pleas from not guilty to no contest.
In addition to probation, the judge handed down a year-long ban from hunting, $500 fines, 80 hours community service and a forfeit of a firearm.
"If the circumstances were the same, I would have shot additional dogs," the younger brother told the judge and courtroom during the hearing.
Craig defended the brothers' actions, saying there was no sign of sheep where they were hunting near Walden Lake. He said he thought wild dogs were chasing elk and acting vicious toward himself and his brother.
He said the brothers killed three dogs with six shots.
"Another dog (came at us) immediately, growling and barking and aggressively coming toward us," Craig said, adding that he felt they were in danger of being attacked.
But Madras rancher Gordon Clark's recollection of his dogs' temperaments is very different.
"Never had a problem," Clark said to the judge. "If the guard dogs were a problem the forest service would have thrown us out a long time ago."
He said he's been using dogs to guard sheep in the Ochocos for 20 years. He has a sheep allotment with the forest service to run his sheep on the land.
Clark said the sheep tracks and posted signs made it obvious the sheep and dogs were in the area.
"If they didn't know they were there, they must have been pretty deaf and dumb," Clark said.
Clark said the sentence can't bring his dogs back, but he's pleased with the outcome.
"The excuses they gave kind of fit along with the deed they did," Clark told NewsChannel 21. "And I think the judge was pretty fair to them. Someone shot some dogs we put a lot of time and training, and worked for me very hard."
A victim still grieving for his dogs, and two brothers who say they were only trying to protecting themselves.
"I'm very apologetic and sorry this happened," Paul said.
In exchange for the plea deal, the two brothers were dropped from charges of felony first-degree criminal mischief.

No Protest for the Pope?
Original post made by mac, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Apr 15, 2008
Though he did offer up simplified comments that hint of repetitive past rhetoric, I think it is critical to show him just how serious this issue is.
Are followers willing to stand up and make a statement over this or is it going to be another case of mindless adoration?

Where have you been? There are plenty of protests planned for Washington and New York. Just google up pope + protest.

The Pope has deliberately failed to protect innocent children from predator priests. It's the policy of the Pope and his American goon squads to pretend that the problem of child molesting priests and nuns is resolved. It is not.
Communities of faith generally tend not to speak out against child abusing clergy. This seems to be true for all faiths, not just Catholics.
Last week, a teacher at Salesian High School was reported to have engaged in a sexual relationship with at least two 15 yr. old students. A report was filed with the Richmond Police Department. The Salesians of Don Bosco are known for harboring sexual predator priests, moving them about, but not much more happens to them. About 15-20 are currently housed at the Provincial House in San Francisco, about 2 blocks from Sacred Heart High School. Who cares? Hardly anybody!

When the Pope visits Ground Zero, he will be greeted by a vigil honoring the late FDNY chaplain, Father Mychal Judge, the first official casualty of the 9/11 attacks.
Mychal was considered a living saint by many even prior to his heroic death. His extraordinary works of compassion have been compared to Mother Teresa (see Web Link )
But ironically, Fr. Mychal Judge would be barred from the priesthood today because he was openly gay, though celibate. He often asked, "Is there so much love in the world that we can afford to discriminate against any kind of love ?!"
We have no illusions that this pope is going to change. Rather, we are bearing witness to two truths -- that God created and loves gay people, and that the pope does not speak for the whole Church, the Ecclesia, on these matters.
Indeed, two-thirds of U.S. Catholics-in-the-pews reject the pope's views and support either civil unions or full marriage rights, according to numerous surveys.
As Fr. Mychal also said, "Don't let the (institutional) church get in the way of your relationship with God."
Don't miss out on the discussion!

I would think blow back kits would not be that far fetched with ak kits going for $350 an up .
2XTM time!
Perge, scelus, mihi diem perficias.
I will be doing a x25 or 9mm blow back some day . its been shelved for long time . I will do a custom bolt .
Thanks for this. Yeah, 9mm seems a bit more affordable for practice use these days-fun too I bet.
So just a question, why would you want to build a dedicated bolt like this(which look like a a lot of machining work) as opposed to making one just using a mod-ed 5.45 bolt like the 9mm builds that AZ-Honkey had posted here a while back..?

Rocster with the cost of AK bolt & carrier going for over a hundred now it might actually be cheaper to make one of these if you got the tools to do it.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Hey, Scott! How's it going buddy?
I used one of these bolts I modified for my first 9mm build. You need to change the depth of the milled pocket for the bolt stop, but it will work.
The "bolt stop" on this EOD bolt is designed for the 7.62x25 round and it's cut too deep for 9mm.
This is a video of it bump firing.
I then designed my own bolt for my 9mm Vityaz.
Pull up your pants, turn off that damn rap and speak clear English, if you want to talk to me.
long time brother. I abandoned my 9mm build. just didn't have the time to mess with it. maybe at some point I will get back to it. your vityaz clone is by far one of the cleanest I've seen. too bad you cant get into a mass production. you would likely sell quite a few.
on a side note. my puck-less saiga 12 failed. I did manage to use the k model gas block without the hassles of closing off old gas ports and drilling new. I even made it work with the oem carrier. it eats walmart bulk like jelly beans.
bigger question. in the image, care to share the left hand thumb safety trick? looks really nice, and factory!
al gore is full of carbon enriched shit
I don't mess with guns much anymore either. I haven't even shot my MSG90A1 sniper rifle since it was made.
I enjoy playing mechanic on my old bikes now.
This is the thread with some of my bikes.
My second hobby
Thanks for the compliment on Vityaz clone
I have been in contact with another company who might start producing it, but nothing final yet.
Puck-less? Didn't even know anything about it? Interesting.
Can I see how you did that gas block with a OEM carrier? I'm just curious.
I've never had a problem with my ported (self cleaning ) gas block either. It also eats that cheap ammo like jelly beans.
Pull up your pants, turn off that damn rap and speak clear English, if you want to talk to me.
Kenny will get you some pix shortly. I will start a thread in the saiga area

Windows 8 Early Adoption is Well Behind Pace Set by Windows 7

(Source: ComputerWorld)
Windows 8 not at popular as Windows 7 so far
Microsoft has
a lot riding on Windows 8 operating system
. The software giant is hoping that Windows 8 will bring a slew of consumers upgrading from older computers and older versions of its operating system. Microsoft is also betting that Windows 8 will get a
strong foothold in the tablet market as well
So far, users are currently five times less likely to be running Windows 8 as they were Windows 7 at the same point before its launch. The new statistics come from research firm Net Applications and indicate a lukewarm reception of the Windows 8 operating system by consumers.
Windows 7 was a follow-up to Windows Vista, which was one of the more maligned versions of Microsoft's operating system in recent years. Windows 7 lured many upgraders not only from Vista, but from the older XP operating system as well. Windows 8 doesn't have the luxury of following an unloved version of Windows like Windows 7.
The statistics offered by Net Applications only count computer users who installed preview versions of Windows 8 and preview versions of Windows 7. The statistics are believed to provide a clear indication of consumer interest in the operating system rather than a desire or need for new computer hardware.
In September, only 0.33% of all computers using Windows relied on Windows 8. That works out to 33 out of every 10,000 Windows machines using Windows 8. By the end of September 2009, with very similar time remaining before the launch of Windows 7, the operating system accounted for 1.64% of all Windows PCs working out to 164 out of every 10,000 units.
Analysts are beginning to believe that Microsoft won't see the uptick in OS sales that it hoped for with Windows 8. Gartner recently advised clients that it predicts the operating system would top out at only 20 to 25% share in the corporate environment.
Windows 8
went RTM in August and will launch this month.
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

For west-side diners, Mariposa's Latin Kitchen could not have opened in a better spot -- right in the middle of the Locke Blocke strip mall in west Fort Worth. This charming little counter-service restaurant is a welcome respite from the infestation of chains that continues to gobble up Camp Bowie Boulevard.
Mariposa's is an extension of mother-daughter team Irma Gamez and Crystal Padilla's long-running catering business, Irma's Kitchen. As caterers, they were best known for tamales, so naturally they are Mariposa's signature item.
The menu is tiny, with only two other entrees: taco and enchiladas -- served a la carte or with rice and beans -- along with ceviche, salads and a handful of desserts (the place is also open for breakfast Saturdays). The restaurant's narrow focus gives cook Irma plenty of breathing room to craft Latin-inspired dishes that are a cut above Fort Worth's Mexican food norm.
Take the chicken enchilada dinner ($8.95). At first glance, the pair of enchiladas looked like traditional chicken enchiladas, bathed in a white sauce and topped with a small pile of pico. First bite in, a variety of flavors unfolded: a bit of sweetness in the sauce, a touch of heat in the cubed chicken. Cinnamon did the trick in the sauce, and curry gave the chicken a welcome kick. The corn tortillas aren't house-made, but they were soft and sturdy.
For dinner sides, you choose between traditional Mexican rice and refried beans or the Cuban white rice. We preferred the latter, punctuated with firm black beans. The Mexican rice was a little mushy, and the refried beans were a bit too rich.
As with the tacos and enchiladas, tamales come in four variations: beef, pork, chicken and cheese. At $4.25 a piece, they're not cheap, but they are as long as enchiladas and plump as chiles rellenos; one will fill you up.
A roasted chicken tamale came in a pool of green poblano sauce and was topped with melted Monterey cheese and diced red peppers. The shredded chicken had a hearty flavor and was nicely accented by the poblano sauce, which was spicy but not too hot.
Tacos come in two sizes: regular and street taco-size. A regular steak fajita taco ($3.75) came with a generous portion of grilled flank steak, cooked medium with plenty of pink inside, along with sauteed bell peppers and onions. Wrapped in a warm flour tortilla, the meat was outstanding, tender with a nice smoky flavor. Crystal says the fajita and chicken meat are smoked at their home, over hickory.
We also loved the ceviche ($8.95), a mound of diced tilapia, shrimp, cabbage, pineapple, mango and avocado served with a half-dozen crisp tostones, and the fiesta salad ($5.95), a colorful and flavorful pile of romaine lettuce, black beans, sweet corn and yellow and red bell peppers, tossed in sweet cilantro-lime dressing.
The menu says there is a charge for chips and salsa, but they are complimentary. The corn tortilla chips were average but came alive when dipped in the chunky, peppery red salsa.
Desserts consisted of housemade pralines, cupcakes and cookies in the shapes of peppers and butterflies. Ask for the mini sopapillas ($3.50 for five). Made with yeast, they are fluffier than typical sopapillas.
Mariposa's is small, with only nine tables, but still feels spacious, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and splashy, festive colors. Two-top tables are made from palettes and repurposed iron table bases. Four-tops are Indonesian, old world-style. Cool lighting: Track lights dangle from beams the family salvaged from a 100-year-old Fort Worth home. There's a lot to like in this tiny spot.


text: Ok, I want to trade down with NE or Baltimore so badly that it makes my butt hurt. I'd dearly love to add another third-rounder. Unfortunately, I don't see anyone at the end of the first trading up. So, no trades in this mock. This is not a projection. It's who I'd realistically like to see the Cowboys select. My general theory on football is that the three biggest determiners of football games are QB pressure, QB play and overall OL play, in that order. This mock reflects those beliefs. 22) Anthony Spencer, OLB, Purdue, 6'3", 261, 4.7 - Great edge rusher with terrific quicks and a great first step. He's big and plays the run strong as well. I'm sure a lot of people would call this a reach, but I think he has the ability to be a superb strong-side compliment to Ware. Judging from what I've read, he's sliding up the boards. 53) Josh Wilson, CB, Maryland, 5'9", 190, 4.39 - Glenn is probably in his last year and if Henry doesn't snap out of it we're gonna need a new starter opposite Newman sooner than later. Wilson is fast and ultra quick, a true cover corner with closing speed to burn. He's a terrific athlete who plays a lot bigger than his height, is tough as nails and hos no problem supporting the run. He reminds me a lot of a little bigger, faster Antoine Winfield. 87) Allen Barbre, OT, Missouri Southern St., 6'4", 305, 4.84 - Flo is over 30, in his contract year and definitely seen his better days. I'm not sure that Jerry will be wanting to pay the big-time money that Flo will want, either. Enter Allen Barbre, an extremely strong and Athletic Division II All-American that dominated at his level. He has great agility and projects well to guard at the pro level too. I believe in Parcells' assessment of McQ and that he may be the future at LT, but there's nothing wrong with quality depth, and with a year under his belt to learn and get stronger, Barbre has the potential be a 2008 upgrade at either position on the left side. 122) Johnnie Lee Higgins, WR, UTEP, 5'11", 185, 4.52 - I don't know about his forty time, but Higgins plays a heck of a lot faster than that. He's extremely athletic with great speed, sick quickness and good hands. He's a homerun threat who will stretch the field and go up and get the ball. He's an excellent punt returner as well. He averaged 14.5, 20.6, 17.1 and 16.1 YPC, had 362, 700, 837 and 1319 yards, and caught 0, 10, 9 and 13 TDs the four years of his college career 159) Cory Anderson, FB, Tennessee, 6'2", 247, 4.7 - I know a lot of people love McClain, but for my money, Anderson is better at everything than McClain except catching passes. And Anderson is no slouch at that. He's a great athlete with lots of upside, is an effective, if not punishing runner, and a pretty good receiver out of the backfield too. Of all the fullbacks in this class, he's the best blocker and probably the best player all around. 195) Walter Thomas, NT, NW Mississippi C.C., 6'4", 374, 5.19 - The guy is HUGE, fast, and agile. He's a project, for sure, inexperienced at any decent level of play. But with his size, strength and athleticism, his potential has no limit. He has all the tools to be a devastating force in the center of Wade Philips's sack machine for years to come. 200) Kyle Young, C, Fresno St., 6'5", 354, 5.61 - A huge road grader who would add punch to the OL. He'd probably have to shed a few pounds, but he's exactly the kind of physical downhill mauler Philips needs to muscle his power running game. He'd be a quality backup to Gurode and push him in TC, which is always a good thing. 212) Jake Kuresa, G, BYU, 6'3", 322, 5.25 - Big, strong, athletic and versitile. He played T, G and C over the course of his hollege career. A perfect backup guy along the OL with upside to maybe be more. 234) Jeff Rowe, QB, Nevada, 6'5", 226, 4.98 - Big and fast for his size. He doesn't have a huge arm but has nice touch and is deadly accurate. 2633, 2925 and 1907 yards, 58.4, 62 and 64.7 completion percent, and 15/12, 21/10 and 17/8 TD/INT the past three years. 237) Anthony Pudewell, TE, Nevada, 6'4", 250, 5.04 - There are only two TEs on the roster. Pudwell is an excellent blocker with good hands. A coupla UDFA... Marcus Hamilton, CB, Virginia, 5'11, 186, 4.51 -- He played a LOT of man coverage at Virginia and picked off a lot of balls. Led the ACC twice, I think. He's smart and was a real leader on the field. The past three seasons he totaled 4, 6 and 5 interceptions. Jordan Kent, WR, Oregon, 6'4", 221, 4.50 - Huge WR with great speed for his size. Here's the skinny from Draft Countdown: Has outstanding height and bulk with long arms...Tremendous natural athlete...A long strider with decent speed...Just oozes potential...Phenomenal leaper...Smart and a hard worker w/ top intangibles...Showed big improvement in a short time. Was born in Saudi Arabia...Played basketball for the Ducks and his father, Ernie, is the head basketball coach...For the most part he had been known as a track and basketball star and he actually excelled in both sports at the high school and college levels...Opted to give football a try in 2005 and in doing so he became the first NCAA athlete to letter in three sports since 2002...Didn't see much action on the gridiron in high school...An extremely intriguing prospect who may get drafted based on upside alone...Whoever brings him into the fold will have to be willing to invest a lot of time and effort in him but in the end it could pay major dividends.

Reviews for Yellow Squash and Tomatoes
"I think 2T of oil is a bit much - the dish was oily even after letting it saute a bit longer than I normally would. That being said, I thought it was DELICIOUS and would love to try it with cubes of mozzarella in it (like a bruschetta). Perfect summer grilled meal companion!"
"Very tasty and so easy to make!"
"Delicious! I have an abundance of yellow squash and basil in my garden and so I thought I would try this. I absolutely loved this but my kids wouldn't touch it. My husband doesn't care for squash so I got to devour this by myself. In more than one sitting of course. It tastes just as good heated up the next day! Thank you for sharing!"
"I have made this recipe and will be making it tonight. My husband and son like it and asked for it again and they are not veggie lovers."

The act of purchasing an ice-cream cone at a drive through, asking the person if they believe in unicorns, then sticking the ice-cream cone to your forehead while slowly driving away screaming, "believe"!!
Mary and Jane went uniconing through the drive-through window with icecream cones stuck to their forheads.

text: I have a 2003 Envoy XL 5.3L V8 that has an annoying whistle at approximately 10% throttle and under. Is this a normal condition? I had checked around and already replaced the PCV valve as suggested by others, but that didn't solve the noise. It doesn't sound terrible, but is a little annoying. Another thing I've noticed is that the truck doesn't seem to sit level side to side. I'll try to get out and measure to see which side is high/low. I heard there might be a Service Bulletin for the dealer to fix this. Any truth to that? EDIT: They probably all have it, but ours is air ride in the rear.

Smith gives them a chance to win a few more games but he's not the answer to any championship. If I'm Reid I'd take Geno. Has has a lot more upside and a good head on his shoulders. Also gives KC a new look and something for that franchise to build upon.

Moreton Bay is home to approximately 600 bottlenose dolphins and each evening as the sun begins to set across the water, a small pod makes their way to the shores of Tangalooma Island Resort. Since 1992, resort guests have had the opportunity to hand feed the dolphins as part of the Tangalooma wild dolphin feeding program.
Currently up to 11 dolphins frequent the shores of Tangalooma, hunting, surfing and playing with fellow pod members. The jetty at Tangalooma is the perfect platform for viewing and observing these wild dolphins as they continuously entertain all with their inquisitive antics. A dedicated Dolphin Care Team records the dolphins' behaviour each evening, monitoring growth, behaviour and interactions.
Included in selected accommodation and day cruise packages is the opportunity to wade into the water to feed these playful creatures. Day guests travelling on the Dolphin Adventure Tour also have the chance to participate in this unforgettable experience.

Bas Boon Issues Statement Regarding His Beef with K-1, It's Showtime, FEG, Etc. Featured
- Written by Dave Walsh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Today is an interesting day for Kickboxing news, as I wake up to see that Robin van Roosmalen, a Golden Glory fighter announced for the May 26th card in Sweden, has signed with It's Showtime and K-1 and will participate on the May 27th card for K-1 instead. This seems like the first brick of Glory's wall being ripped out, and yet another volley in the ongoing war between Simon Rutz and Bas Boon. On top of that, Bas Boon issued a statement in regards to, well, everything that has been going on. As always, Bas Boon is not afraid to name names, make wild accusations and include a lot of links to articles.
We have reached out to K-1 Global for comment and will update as soon as we hear back.
NOTE: It should be noted that this is completely Bas Boon, does not reflect LiverKick.com's opinions, beliefs or anything of the sort. It should also be mentioned that there is a section claiming that we "removed" an article. That link works, the article is still there.
Interview with Bas Boon by Tadashi Tanaka the japanese journalist who broke the story in 2006 in the Japanese magazine Shukan Gendai (Weekly Gendai) containing allegations that the Pride Fighting Championships, once the largest mixed martial arts organization in the world, was actually owned by the Yakuza, Japanese organized crime. Pride shows were dropped by Fuji TV, a major national broadcast network in Japan. Pride eventually went under".
On April 5th Tokyo time, Mr. Tanikawa issued a press release regarding the establishment of a new K-1 by K-1 Global Holdings as well as his resignation from K-1 FEG. I will summarize what he said and point out some grave errors of fact he has made. To recap the facts:
1. Golden Glory has filed a petition in Japan to have FEG declared bankrupt
2. The petition was filed by us on March 14, 2012 in the Tokyo District Court
3. FEG is no longer financially sound, and is unable to pay its creditors, including KOI (Knockout Investments, N.V.), which is owed in excess of $1 Million. Including other parties who are also owed money by FEG the amount may exceed $30 million.
4. Despite repeated promises to pay, Mr. Tanikawa of FEG stated in writing on Feb. 9, 2012 that it has released its employees and has no funds to pay KOI.
5. Golden Glory and its fighters have suffered damages resulting from FEG's failure to pay
6. Golden Glory has filed this petition to seek the Court's protection to find and secure any assets of FEG which should be used to repay its creditors
7. A company called EMCOM Holdings issued an announcement dated Jan.31, 2012 that it had acquired a Hong Kong registered company called K-1 Global Holdings and had funded this company to take over the loans made by a Japanese company called Barbizon connected to Kazuyoshi Ishii. Barbizon had security for its loans to FEG, this security was over the trademarks of K-1 (owned by Ishii) and the historical K-1 fight footage (owned by FEG): http://www.hd.emcom.jp/en/pdf/20120131_002.pdf
8. As a creditor of FEG, Golden Glory is concerned that some transactions will drain FEG of its remaining assets and goodwill and leave the creditors with nothing. We hope that this bankruptcy proceeding will also lead to an opportunity to shed light on the parties and what is really going on with the K-1 brand. We just want to get our athletes paid what they are owed by K-1.
We suspect the original intention for K-1/FEG was to not pay us, so all the fighters would quit and not be under the management of Golden Glory or It's showtime anymore.
When we recently launched the new Glory with the backing of our investors, we offered Simon Rutz the opportunity to work with us and also offered a deal for his fighters. Simon took our offer and went to the majority Owner of EMCOM, Mr. Gunil "Mike" Kim in Japan to get more money. Now I am glad he did as Showtime/Rutz are facing the same problem as K-1 faces in Japan, they can not have an event in their home country of Holland anymore: http://www.fansofk1.com/article?aID=3832
Suspicions of criminal involvement under the Dutch the BIBOP law put a stop to the events of It's Showtime in Holland. The irony is that the same people who did not pay us are still behind the new K-1 structure they made today! If the court brings out all the facts, don't be surprised to see that Mr. Kazuyoshi Ishii is still a major shareholder in the overall organization alongside EMCOM, and may still control the international rights to K-1.
It will be interesting to see how the court will handle FEG's assets changing hands not long before I filed the bankruptcy lawsuit. Everybody can smell rotten fish here.
We have filed a petition for bankruptcy of FEG/K-1 and that's why Mr. Tanikawa made this announcement: http://feg-jp.com/en/news/2012/0405_release_01.html
You will hear a lot of this in the press in the near future. The K-1/FEG management are the ones who have created a staggering debt and worst of all, left the kickboxing athletes without pay, while apparently managing to benefit themselves. It's going to be tough going for K-1 and it will be interesting to see what kind of sponsors or TV broadcasters will want to be associated with anybody dealing with K-1 or Its Showtime.
The most tragic aspect of this is that there were many incredibly talented athletes, production companies, venues, and many other suppliers who were making an honest living providing services to K-1.
Tanikawa's latest press release states that I am trying to hurt and destroy K-1, but the truth is absolutely the opposite. We were trying to rescue it and they already destroyed the brand themselves. I have no grudge with Simon Rutz. if we did we would never have considered working with him.
With that and the constant lying and false promises, here some more examples http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/10/16/2494046/kickboxing-k1-report-k-1-grand-prix-2011-cancelled-its-showtime
Below link got removed from liverkick.com
Here is one from China:
It's funny how in court Mr. Ishii claimed he had nothing to do with the fighting branch anymore but in China I witnessed with my own eyes a huge press conference were they announced 60 % for Mr. Bruno Wu and 40% for Mr. Ishii in a joint venture. Mr. Wu apparently did some more research and pulled out of this venture.
Tanikawa's claim that Simon Rutz supports K-1 is almost as ridiculous, check out this link where Showtime is threatening to sue K-1:http://teamtakeover.forum-express.com/t11534-its-showtime-sueing-feg .They made a deal to keep the Its Showtime fighters cheap and agreed to pay only 50% in the form of a signing bonus for old debt to Showtime fighters owed by K1.
Simon then made a deal for himself, the Madrid event recently announced by the 'K1 production team" originally was scheduled to be labeled Its Showtime, but now has changed into a k-1 event. I am sure that because Showtime cannot organize in Holland anymore in the major cities, Showtime made a deal with Gunil "Mike" Kim (who Simon hated first, Kim made Simon looked like a fool when the "last 16" Grand Prix in China was cancelled in 2011,with the so- called reason of visa problems).
Their new plan is apparently to run K-1 events in Holland (under the management of Simon's/Showtime team and run Showtime in Japan under the management of old K-1 and Mr. Kim) this way they hope to avoid the problems with bad press and possible government scrutiny as they hope to renew the TV contracts under a new face.
What continues to amaze us here at Glory is the amazing philosophy (would some people call this greed?) demonstrated by the K-1 group. When we started paying our athletes using some of the new money from our investor group, Mr. Ishii told us we should not pay fighters, as that was a stupid move. Yes, you heard this right: it was STUPID TO PAY FIGHTERS, according to him. Their plan was apparently not to pay the fighters for a very long time so they would leave their management and they would then made new cheap contracts with the fighters and pay them a lot less. Mr. Ishii, Tanikawa and Kim were very angry to learn that the new investor group recognized the worth of the fighters and started signed them to exclusive contracts.
I had enough of their miss-truths and deception lies and came with my own investors and have launched the Glory brand globally. We have signed Albert Kraus, Petrosyan, Le Banner, Peter Aerts the whole Golden Glory team and others. Tanikawa even mentioned this in his press release as if we had acted improperly: sure these K-1 fighters made a living for a long time with K-1, but K-1 does not own them and certainly K-1 do not have any rights or claims when they do not pay fighters their outstanding debt for over 15 months! Then somebody comes and pays 100% or close to 100% of the outstanding amounts in the form of a new signing bonuses to these incredible athletes How does this make me the guy who is trying to ruin K-1, according Tanikawa?
It's like a slapstick movie -- when the petition for bankruptcy was filled it took Tanikawa less than one day to leave the sinking ship and make his announcement.
The next weeks will be really interesting to see all the excuses made by "former" K-1 employees and executives. The funny thing is that many fighters are still being approached by Tanikawa even today to sign with K-1 Global Holdings owned by EMCOM. The personal assistant of Tanikawa works now for Mr. Kim. Mr. Ishii and Mr. Kim have companies in Hong Kong. Is the plan to have the trademarks of K-1 parked there?
In 2005, I started a lawsuit with Miro Mijatovic because of Pride and other problems, now history repeats itself and its K-1/FEG who did not pay their outstanding debt and I filed a petition for bankruptcy.
By the way, on April 12th Tokyo time, EMCOM Holdings press released that Mr. Ryouji Ueno stepped down as President and Mr. Hakmin Kim is back as President. We wonder this announcement could be direct result of the petition Koi/Golden Glory filed for bankruptcy and signing many top fighters to the new glory show.
I am incredibly proud and excited about the new developments with Glory. We have first class backers who are behind us. We have already staged a successful event in Moscow a few weeks ago that was broadcast live in 10 countries and over 100 countries tape delay. Our shows are now available live around the world on the internet in high quality HD. www.gloryworldseries.com We have another event coming up on 26 May this year in Sweden, a "first 16" in the 70kg weight class with three top-end superfights.
We'll be announcing the calendar for the rest of the year soon, and you can expect some groundbreaking innovations, amazing fighters, and glamorous locations from Glory that will shape and re-define the world of standup kickboxing. Our investors have made a huge commitment; our team involves some of the brightest talents in sports, kickboxing, media, and entertainment. Fighters that have appeared in our first event have been paid their fees and prize money in record time. All this adds up to an extremely bright future for Glory, for the athletes who make it possible, and for the fans around the world that make our sport the most exciting and fastest growing in the world.
Glory is committed to creating exciting entertainment through a well-managed organization. Frankly, it's about time!

Hi Guys,
I was thinking about making up some pallet hives for pollination next year. I would like to use something like a 16' trailer with a hoist. It would resemble the one Kelley's sell here:
Can anyone using this type of set up tell me how the pallets are removed from the trailer? Does one put 4 eye bots at the corners of the pallets for hoisting or is a "Bobcat" type set of forks required? Or is there only 1 eye bolt in the very center of the pallet?
Totally in the dark in this one....
Thanks in advance!

I think the front looks pretty awesome, who cares about the back?
Personally I do not do a perfect 1/4in seam allowance, I move my needle to the right a number of clicks, found that thread and pressing takes up some of the allowance. It works for me.
Quilting friends don't point out flaws, LOL ... I would never do that to a friend, been there done that myself and it does just take practice to get points to match etc. Don't forget to get those seams to hug up to each other so that they meet.

By Joe Brewin
Manchester City are favourites to claim Premier League glory this season, according to Arsène Wenger.
Roberto Mancini's side currently lead the way at the top of the table with closest rivals Manchester United already five points off the pace.
Wenger and his squad travel to Wigan on Saturday afternoon as they look to continue their strong run of form in the league, but the Frenchman says City will take some catching.
"The whole view is that after a bad start we are back in contention to fight for the Champions League places," he said. "We're not at the moment for the championship but our target is to get back into that position.
"We have to continue our good run we have at the moment. We had a disappointing draw last week and we want of course to come back and continue our run.
"For the rest it looks like there is a group of seven or eight teams who will fight until the end for the championship, with Man City looking like the favourites at the moment. But it's early in the season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Got my CD in the mail today. Have it loaded on the puter and printed out the first three blocks. Still need to check my stash for background fabric.
oh those seam allowances can just ruin the fun if you forget about them. I made the Ohio star last summer, didn't know you needed te seam allowance. It was not a pretty sight. LOL

Just found this thread! Have had this book since it came out, now have the motivation to use it!! Will follow along and, if I ever learn about taking pictures and posting, I might be able to get some pictures posted on this group!! You guys are all such an inspiration and so much help
"Impossible is an opinion, not a fact" Cameron Clapp
I am not understanding about adding the seam allowance. I can't look in my book it's wrapped under the tree. But it looked like with paper piecing you lay down one, right side up on its spot. Next piece lay on top of first right sides together. Sew seam on appropriate line, turn, press open, trim, add next piece. Where is the seam allowance we add? Sorry if I just made myself look totally inept.
~If you can't turn the corners of your mouth up...let the middle sag!~
"Be not afraid, only believe."
I don't remember if you said you had the cd with the patterns. If you do no problem. If you are going to copy from the book as I am, you will see that they do not include the seam allowance. You will need to add 1/4" seam allowance around each section. I just draw it in my book before I copy the pattern. Once you open your book, take a look. If I still am not making sense(because sometimes I don't) I will try to clarify. Or I could take a pic. Happy Holidays everyone.
OK, I tried to take a pic of the pattern and it didn't turn out well. I moved it to different spots hoping the different lighting would work. Nope. Maybe someone else can try.

Thanks Mom3 for the vidio. How wonderful to learn this.

Thanks Mom3 for the vidio. How wonderful to learn this.
I do mine on the computer, using an ink jet printer, adding a pic that goes with the name of the quilt. here's what goes on my label: Name of quilt (I love naming my quilts :-), date completed, my name, name of who did the machine quilting, because I don't....yet, type of batting used, and washing instructions. Should the label wear out, someone can redo as I hand sew it on and it can be easily removed.
I label mine for the same reason: genealogy and family history. I never thought of hand writing it first though (dumb me...) thanks for the hint!
I just love to see the date on the quilt from the date finished or given. I've seen a couple go as far back as 125 years and I think that is amazing. I know are more that go back further than that. The one I saw was hand tied but pieced on the front and the back. The present owner said the quilter was told it wasn't very good. She was 14 and it was her 2nd. Present owner is granddaughter and displays it proudly. her grandmother stitched the date and her initials into it in the bottom right hand corner on the back. Just happens to be owner's birth date (sans the year).
Many of you are going to cringe but I use a sharpie right on the back of the quilt. My initials and year.
I haven't been quilting long (2 rag quilts, 2 pieced quilts), and I'm still trying to decide how I feel about them. My brother and his small son received the rag quilts, my firsts. Now my brother doesn't know anything about quilts or quilting, but he chewed me out for not labeling it! He wanted visual reminder that his absolutely favorite sister (I'm sure that's how he feels about me, lol) made it for him. Fortunately, I had sneaked my initials and date into one of the blocks.
I don't expect anything I make to live long enough to be passed down. The quality of my work will never be heirloom, I can't imagine anyone being impressed enough by my work to hunt me down posthumously. So whatever I end up doing will be as unobtrusive as I can make it. I kind of like the idea of a hidden signature that the recipient knows about, but a casual glance would miss entirely.
Labeling is very important to me, years ago, in the early 80's, our girls were deep into softball, National titles were theirs...usually before a tournament, I would serve breakfast to the team..once I put on a white heavy tablecloth and put pens on the table..asking each one to sign, add a note, and date it..they did, next year it was repeated with the same tablecloth...what fun..now, girls are grown, but I still have the tablecloth and have turned it into a great quilt for my daughter..it brought her such smiles, some of the team are still connected..and this make it even nicer...could do this for any occassion...Now I will start this tradition with my Granddaughter is that is softball crazy...
Great Idea and with my new Baby Lock Ellisimo I can get my machine to embroider my signature. Will start practicing. I too like to see that date on a quilt.
My hand writing is so horrible. I hate writing anything by hand. Although I do understand what you are saying. and I believe that a hand signed quilt would be more personal. But I would also have to have it printed or no one could read it.

wpa 2 cracking
I have a question about cracking wpa2. I know its really hard to crack wpa2 but its possible so i want to know is it possible to do it without dictionary attack? Because in the middle east countries people dosent use english language so we cant use worldlists in the internet. Can we use some other attacks?

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has historically played a leading role in supporting human genome research. March 2014 is the anniversary of the 1986 Santa Fe Workshop, which brought together participants from government, academia, and the private sector to explore the possibility of sequencing the human genome. This workshop was sponsored by DOE and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The Human Genome Project (HGP) was formalized in mid-February 1990.
In honor of the anniversary of the Santa Fe Workshop, DOE R&D Accomplishments has published a new feature page, Human Genome Research: DOE Origins. This page describes the key role played by Charles DeLisi, then Associate Director of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Health and Environmental Research (OHER) in conceiving the idea for a program to sequence the human genome. The Santa Fe Workshop met DeLisi's goal of laying out an approach to sequence the human genome.
Once again, dedicated representatives from the Department of Energy (DOE) headquarters program offices, field offices, national laboratories and technology centers are convening along with OSTI staff for the DOE Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP) Annual Working Meeting. This year the STIP Annual Working Meeting will be held March 31-April 4 in Richland, Washington. The meeting will be hosted by DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
Recently, I attended a roundtable discussion hosted by the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. on the topic of innovation – how it comes about, what factors can impede it, where the U.S. might be headed as a lead innovator in the 21st Century, and what cultural and ethical issues need to be considered in a complete understanding of innovation.
As a science and technology agency, the Department of Energy (DOE) cares a great deal about questions surrounding innovation. As an information management agency within DOE, the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) works to accelerate innovation through the sharing of knowledge. We also love to point out where DOE has done just that.
It is rare when someone comes along whose ideas change science. Nobel Laureate Kenneth Geddes Wilson (1936 –2013) forever changed how we think about physics. Wilson left a legacy of his prize-winning problem solving in theoretical physics, the use of computer simulations and the modeling of physical phenomena, the establishment of supercomputer centers for scientific research, and physics education and science education reform.
Wilson was gifted mathematically at an early age. His grandfather taught him how to do mathematical computations in his mind. When he was 8 years old, he would calculate cube roots in his head while waiting for the school bus. This brilliant and shy young boy went through grade school and high school at an accelerated pace to enroll in Harvard when he was only 16 years old. He obtained his Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology, did postdoc studies at Harvard as a junior fellow that included a year at CERN, joined the faculty of Cornell University and later Ohio State University's Departments of Physics. At the age of 46, he became one of the youngest winners of a Noble Prize when he received the 1982 Noble Prize in Physics based on his pioneering work developing a theoretical framework on the nature of phase transitions, such as the moment when metal melts at a certain temperature or when liquid transforms to a gaseous state.
OSTI Is Re-Focusing and Re-Balancing Its Operations – And Refreshing Its Home Page – to Advance Public Access
Let's call it creative destruction, borrowing from a popular term in economics. The idea is that the very essence of capitalism is the destruction of old structures and the building of new ones that inevitably face the same pressures as the structures they replaced. It's the reason the buggy whip industry fell on hard times. The information management business of the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) is in constant flux too, where the next big thing can soon become the next big flop.
