US 1 Van Lines Inc. Lisa JCristhian This company is the WORST of the WORST Miami Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This company is absolutely awful! As if moving isn't stressful enough! I was charged an extra $250 which was not in my contract: My contract made me select a delivery date but said FLEXIBLE delivery date. I asked the company about this and they informed me that the date was a ballpark and there was flexibility. I was then forced to pay the fee upon delivery because the date was a couple of days off the ballpark date. I was also forced to pay by cash or a bank check, i.e. not a credit card. Therefore I could not get my credit card company to investigate it.
Additionally, they did not deliver my bicycle. They "lost" it for a while and it was delivered several weeks later. Furthermore, my bookshelf arrived broken, as well as several other pieces (sculptures, household goods, etc.). I was not offered any compensation for these and was shut down several times by the company. I went to the Better Business Bureau who contacted the company several times, but they did not respond.
This was one of the most frustrating experiences I have had with ANY company! I work in the business world and deal with all kinds of businesses and personalities on a daily basis. This company is no doubt among the WORST of the WORST! Furthermore, this took place quite a while back, and still leaves me feeling very bitter. Respect and professionalism are COMPLETELY lacking!

The Daily Dispatch, January 02, 1880
Richmond, Virginia; p. 2, col. 4
"Married, December 23, 1879, in this city, at the residence of the bride, by Rev. J. R. Garlick, JAMES R. BLUNT and Miss MATTIE W. JONES; all of Richmond, Va.
Married, December 17, 1879, at "Irine." Caroline county, Va., the residence of the bride's parents, by Rev. O. F. Flippo, WILLIAM C. WILSON, of Richmond, Va., to F. LESLIE, daughter of Dr. Joseph A. Flippo. No cards.
Died, yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, EDWIN BURTON, youngest son of the late Coldomier Burton, in the seventh year of his age. The funeral will take place TO-DAY (Friday) at 11 o'clock at Shockoe-Hill Cemetery. Friends of the family are invited.
Died, December 31, 1879, at 11:20 o'clock P.M., at the residence of her husband, Lindon, Hanover county, Va. Mrs. VIRGINIA LIPSCOMB. in her sixty-ninth year.
Her burial will take place TO-DAY, January 2d, at her husband's residence.
Besides the indescribable grief to her immediate relatives, the death of this noble lady will bring sadness to many hoes in which her bounteous charity has dispelled the dark gloom of poverty and distress; to many a heart that has been healed by the balm of her sympathy; to a vast number to whom her abounding love and wise counsel were health in sickness, light in darkness, fortitude in pain, solid comfort in bitter adversity. To alleviate human suffering seemed to be Mrs. LIPSCOMB's chosen mission and intense delight. At home she was an amiable wife and devoted mother. The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit was the attraction which monopolized the admiration of strangers, and cemented the hearts of her loved ones so softly and firmly as that the dread secrets of the tomb and the withering torch of grief can never break asunder nor crumble away.
'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. They do rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.'"

I got a new baby today. I got a Kel-Tec P3AT. It fits great in my front pocket like I was hoping. I just have to make some type of holster for it now. Pics will be posted later.
I was planning on moose hunting with mine.
I like mine a lot.
It's just like the America Express card. It's green and I never leave home without it.
I do a fair amount of cycling and have been looking into another smaller caliber handgun (I already have a Mak 380) to slip into my riding shirt or waistband. The Mak is a bit heavy for the lightweight nature of riding shirts and sweats so the KelTec looks like a good fit. I also don't need a 15 yard capable handgun since the biggest need for protection is from dogs.
It sounds like the 2nd gen's are the best.

Would have shot. My screen just got kind of blury.

Mom goes to jail for a very long time for negligent homicide and child endangerment.
Would have shot. My screen just got kind of blury.
As a civilized society we have traditionally always placed the life of a human being on a higher plane than any of the animal species.
So if the life of a human being is ever truly in deadly peril from an animal attack a person should always (if possible) terminate the animal no matter if the animal is on the endangered specie list or not.
Here is an update with the zookeeper:
Video - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
My thoughts:
We come on here daily and run scenarios and get discussions and play these thoughts out in our minds. With this interaction; you and I will react differently than an "average" citizen due to this mindset. That being said, can you imagine this scenario or have we discussed this prior to this? Even without discussion, I am sure most of us are in the mix quickly!! The average individual would not as they would probably just look on in shock.
As far as prosecuting the parent(s) for negligent homicide, I am not sure of the statutes. But I am sure if you contribute to the death of another due to your "negligence", they could be charged. That being said, there would probably be nothing that could be more of a punishment that could be done to the parents than they are probably going through right now. (I hope they are on suicide watch at the moment)
I think this also shows that limiting carry in dangerous places, bad things can happen that may have been prevented. Even if firearms are prohibited, pepper spray or knives may not be.
Prayers to all who have been touched by this tragedy.
The words "Child Endangerment" just shouts out to me in this. The mother was totally stupid.
What part of "wild animals" do people just NOT get ???
Too bad a boy died due to his mother's stupidity.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
The parents are so distraught that they are in Western Psychiatric Hospital because they cannot mentally cope with this tragedy.
I sort of agree that I don't know how the Mother could be punished any more than she is already punishing herself.
She messed up big time and then watched her only child get torn up by a pack of wild dogs.
She was reportedly a good Mother otherwise and her co-workers said that she adored her child and always talked about him.
I don't want to come across sounding like a lawyer but, it seems to me that no kid should have been able to bounce out of the safety mesh net that was installed under the railing for the express purpose of catching anything/anybody that went over the railing.
That could probably have either been designed or installed differently so that it would have functioned as intended.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
One of the articles said it was only designed to catch dropped objects, not human beings. The zoo just passed a safety inspection.
I feel for the horrible loss and guilt this mother will suffer the rest of her life, but her brains are more endangered than the dogs. What an idiot!
Sorry, I don't like to try to make myself special by putting a group of people I am common with on a pedastal. (not sure if you were or not, just speaking for me). People are people. If you want to group people together and put them in a category of those most likely to react to this situation it would be parents. Most parents would never let thier child be mauled without jumping in. For whatever reason this lady did not, nor did anyone else of which some may have been CCP holders.
Anyway, we should pray for the parents and all others that were there that saw this tragic event. And also pray that if confronted with this that we could act appropriately and timely.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?
And I said, Here am I. Send me!

I would try to help if I could.

My food and product review blog
Unfortunately the mother's species - Moronus Americanus - is far from endangered.
Battle Plan (n) - a list of things that aren't going to happen if you are attacked.
Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.

2: to engage in : perform
3a : to bring legal action against for redress or punishment of a crime or violation of law
b : to institute legal proceedings with reference to <prosecute a claim>
I don't think the mother should be prosecuted. Yes, she did something stupid and she'll be paying for it the rest of her life. She did something in a moment without thinking and now she's lost her little boy and pretty much her own life too.
I'm not surprised that she and her husband are in a mental institution being watched.
I would jump into the pit in a heartbeat, wouldn't even think twice. If I got killed, so what. If my baby is gone due to my mistake,what good is life after that anyway.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain

ODEON says...
'Antony & Cleopatra' follows Caesar's assassination and Mark Antony has reached new heights of power. Now he has neglected his empire for a life of decadent seduction with his mistress, Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt.
Torn between love and duty, Antony's military brilliance deserts him, and his passion leads the lovers to their tragic end.
Iqbal Khan returns to the RSC to direct 'Antony & Cleopatra', following his critically acclaimed productions of 'Othello' (2015) and 'Much Ado About Nothing' (2012).

SHARKS AND RAYS ARE PRACtically unique among creatures in their ability to ward off cancerous tumors. Sharp-eyed health-food suppliers took note early, turning dried shark fins into edible tablets. But biologists have also been racing to isolate any fishy compounds that might explain the shark's magical resistance. Now, after scrutinizing dozens of compounds, researchers at California State University in Fresno say they have isolated four substances in shark cartilage that appear to inhibit cancer.
Kin-Ping Wong, dean of Cal State Fresno's School of Natural Sciences, is keeping mum about details until patents are filed. But what the chemicals do is block a mechanism discovered in the mid-1980s at Harvard University: Tumor cells secrete a protein called angiogenin that entices blood vessels to grow close to cancers and nourish them. The shark extracts counteract angiogenin, and the tumor starves. Wong has already begun animal tests, and he hopes to begin human trials next year.

Chapter VIII: Human
A thousand people,
Always silent,
Looking with clockwork glances,
Moving with robotic stances.
Faces hidden with venecian masks,
Sheepish wolves and still dancers,
With silent singers that's music still lingers,
'We are human,' they remark.
Yet they move in ghostly fashions,
Static gestures, dying movements,
Their faces fixed with one emotion,
Feeling nothing. Saying nothing.
Footsteps heard on concrete floors,
Mirroring the ticking of a thirteenth hour,
Glassy eyes and crystal hearts lay beneath their fragile forms,
'We are human,' they remark.
Their masks do crack, under times spell,
Cowering under his scythe,
Their cogs, they stop,
Winding down ever faster.
Their glassy eyes,
Fragile forms,
And crystal hearts,
'We are human,' they remarked.
Now the only thing upon this Earth,
Is a dying army of clockwork men,
Their faces frozen in sadness,
Wearing masks, cracked under time.
'We are human.' Was their last remark.

Air Arabia Plans $450 Million in Loans to Finance PlanesZainab Fattah and Robert Tuttle
Air Arabia PJSC, the Middle East's biggest budget airline, said it plans to raise $400 million to $450 million in bank loans to finance aircraft purchases.
"We will be getting deliveries till the end of 2015," Chief Executive Officer Adel Ali said today in an interview in Dubai. "After that, we will need airplanes to expand and we will need replacement airplanes for the ones that have been in service for three years."
The carrier, which will receive 10 planes next year as it adds destinations, will decide in the next 18 months on its next aircraft order, including which models, Ali said.
Passenger traffic through Air Arabia's main hub at Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, rose 13 percent last year as the nation's economy picked up. Air Arabia will start its 85th route, linking Sharjah with Abha, Saudi Arabia, on May 22, Ali said. The carrier added nine destinations last year, in countries including Iraq and Russia, from the base.
Air Arabia has already raised $150 million in loans that will be spent this year, Ali said. The carrier normally borrows from banks in Japan, the Middle East and Europe, he said, without identifying the lenders.
"At present, the company is liquid, and finding money through banks is available," so the airline doesn't need to go to the bond market, Ali said. "We have secured our requirements for this year and for next year, we don't have a concern about finding funds for our expansion and delivery of aircrafts in the next three years. We are well covered."
Air Arabia's net income rose 56 percent to 419.5 million dirhams ($114 million) in 2012, beating the 404 million-dirham average estimate of eight estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The stock has gained 25 percent this year, lagging behind the 32 percent gain for the Dubai Financial Market General Index.
The stock has been "underperforming, so we are very happy to see it getting back to normality," Ali said. "It still should improve more."

Outside the window a single plant stem rocked to and fro on a windless day. Then it came to rest, one among a broad stand of hemp agrimony flowers fringing the pond, bare stalks rising in longbow-curved arcs all the way to their fluffy tops. Little knots of knapweed were visible behind the slatted uprights, with seed heads like miniature burnt pineapples. Farther back still were tall teasels, the brown stems buckled and twisted as if the plants were in their death throes.
It was a dead, end of the year scene viewed from the kitchen sink, and, just for a moment, I wanted to straighten the stalks, see purple petal fingers burst out of grass-green knapweed, a pink haze on the hemp agrimony, a cloud of attendant bees and hoverflies. But only seconds before the garden had been filled with animation. A mixed flock of birds had descended all at once to feed. But there were no snouts to the peanut trough here, no battles over the bird table.
Several years before we had put away our artificial feeders and our focus had gone instead into growing slow food – honeysuckle, ivy and other plants – that would provide seeds and berries through the winter. And now here were the birds coming to feast in our dowdy winter garden. They arrived in a pulse, looping over the fence, dropping from the bushes, and they fed with gusto and seeming disregard of danger, as if each species was emboldened by the presence of others.
Sparrows jabbed at the knapweed, trying to split open their bobbing punchbag tops. A female blackbird ripped up moss from the side of the pond, then probed at the ground. Half a dozen goldfinches shinned up the hemp agrimony stems, showing black and white notches on their folded wings, thrusting their beaks into the seed heads. A robin hopped below, pecking up the spilled offerings.
I heard no signs of alarm beyond the muffling glass, but the birds seemed to rise as one, spilling over the fences. The garden was becalmed again, the last plant rocked to a standstill.

The Ultimate Road Trip Playlist for You and Your Girls
Even though Calgary has recently undergone a bit of turmoil, my best girlfriends and I are heading down there this weekend for a special and much needed girls weekend.
We are gonna do some lots of shopping, get tattoos, hit up the hottest clubs and just have fun!
But before we have all the fun, we have to endure a three-hour drive, and what's the best thing to help get you through a long, very boring, prairie drive? Good music of course!
So I have put together a playlist of a few of the songs that we will be blasting in the car this weekend -- sorry boys, this is more of a girly playlist!

It may be interesting to note that, while the in-game gun is easy to reload, the real-life Evans was notoriously slow to reload. The the nature of the screw-type magazine meant that, if the gun was not reloaded after every single shot, a gap of empty space formed in the magazine until the next reload. Once you began to reload the gun, you had to load the entire magazine before the first shot could even reach the firing mechanism. 18.104.22.168 03:16, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Andrew Rice describes himself on his site as a "golf swing junkie." Unlike amateur golf swing junkies, Andrew has studied under some of golf's greatest teachers and taught some of the game's best players.
Originally from South Africa, Rice competed in junior events against Ernie Els and Retief Goosen. He played for University of Central Florida and finished Second Team All-American with Justin Leonard in 1991. He played the mini-tours before getting into instruction at David Leadbetter's Junior Golf Academy.
Rice currently serves as the Director of Instruction at the prestigious Berkeley Hall in Bluffton, South Carolina. He's taught PGA Tour players like Nick Price as well as other PGA, European, LPGA, Champions, and Nationwide Tour players.
As a "golf swing junkie," Andrew has seemingly never been content to take what David Leadbetter or any one person says about the golf swing, and much in the style of Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer, has spent time analyzing the great swings to discern the truth about what works and what doesn't.
His first book - It's All About Impact - The Winners of Over 100 Majors Prove It - is the result of such efforts.
The Book
The 120-page book begins on page eight with "The List." The List - which includes Jack Nicklaus, Patty Berg, Tiger Woods, Lorena Ochoa, Padraig Harrington, Ray Floyd, Peter Thomson, Lee Trevino, Gary Player, Ben Hogan, and Mickey Wright (among others) - are essentially Rice's test subjects. They're all players who have, had "consistent success in golf's greatest tournaments: the Major Championships."
Rice absorbed as much information from video and still shots of the fundamentals and dynamics of all of the players on The List to form his opinion of the swing, and he discovered what he calls a few secrets.
The second chapter, "Range of Function: It's Fundamental" talks about how golf's traditional fundamentals - grip, aim, posture, and ball position - aren't really fundamentals at all. The List contains players with all sorts of grips, aim, posture, and ball position, after all. This chapter merely defines ranges that should work - for example, a strong grip to a slightly weak neutral grip are fine, but a really weak grip is outside of the ideal "range," according to Rice. Similar ranges are described for each of the true fundamentals, and leave plenty of room for players to grip the club and stand in a way they'll find comfortable.
Rice moves beyond the fundamentals in the third chapter, "Championship Swing Common Denominators" on page 18. It's here where he sets up the two big secrets. Rice says that he discovered "astonishingly consistent components to each of The List players' swings: body movement and position at impact." He continues "it was almost as if they had all gone to the same golf school and learned the same two golden rules."
Now, you wouldn't expect me to share the actual rules with you. You'll have to buy the book for that. But suffice to say I agree with them. These two rules are exhibited by the best golfers, and they're fairly straightforward and easy to comprehend. I would go so far as to say that if you can employ these moves, you're at least 20% of the way to building a solid swing.
How does one obtain these two secrets? Rice believes they tie in heavily to "The 84° Secret," the title of the fourth chapter (pages 22-41) and the topic of several of his blog posts. I'll let Andrew explain this:
In researching the golfers on The List, it quickly became apparent to me that there was something eerily similar about the manner in which they all pivoted or rotated their bodies to the top of the backswing. Their arms and clubs, however, were doing quite different things. I found this distracting, and so I decided to take them out of the equation altogether. Using swing instructional technology, I drew a straight line up the outside of each player's back side. This way, as each player approached the top of their backswing, I could focus purely on their body movement.
The result was uncanny. Not only were the majority of the back side lines I drew at exactly 84 degrees – almost every player stayed not only inside that line, but flush up against it just prior to initiating the downswing. A few players were at 83 degrees, and a few at 85, but for the most part 84 was the prime position number.Andrew Rice, It's All About Impact
Rice explains "Why 84°" and then tells you how to set up to achieve this magical angle, which involves steep shoulders and a steady head. Rice lists a few common 84° mistakes and prescribes a few drills to help you get it down.
Next, Rice moves on to Chapter 5, or "Impact: The Final Frontier." For a book titled It's All About Impact, it may seem a bit odd to get to this topic over a third of the way into the book. It contains five pages of well illustrated instruction, then six pages of sketched images like the one above before returning to instruction with common errors and drills to help the golfer get into the proper impact position.
The six drills provided in this section range from classic to somewhat new, and each is illustrated nicely. Rice then spends two pages telling you how your divots should look - an under-appreciated art. Good golfers make good divots, after all. Then it's off to chapter six, "Common Swing Myths," on page 64.
This is where the book starts to scatter a bit. Despite its name, It's All About Impact, the book spends just as much time setting you up to read about the secrets and on the 84° Secret itself as it does on the secret related to impact. Less than a sixth of the book is truly spent on "impact."
I was expecting more on impact, so when the book leaps into chapter six, it feels rushed - I wanted to explore impact some more. Though "Common Swing Myths" does an adequate job of dispelling myths like "I swung too fast," "I have to watch the ball," "I need a quiet lower body," and "tee it high and let it fly," I can't shake the feeling that I haven't really gotten the most out of the two secrets the first half of the book was supposed to give me.
It turns out I won't get them in the remaining chapters either, which oddly venture into the short game. Chapters like "The Short Game and Impact" (page 70), "Sand Play: All Ground, No Ball" (page 78), and "Putting: Impact with a Pop" (page 84) are like tutoring vignettes - just enough to whet your appetite but not quite enough to satisfy. They each try to maintain a connection with the central "impact" theme, but it's loose.
Each chapter contains the basics, a drill or two, and some key thoughts along with plenty of illustrations and images.
The book closes with more vignettes. "Other Factors that Impact Your Game" (page 90) talks about practice, shot shaping, and equipment. "Self-Analysis and Technology" (page 98) talks about setting up your camera and how to diagnose some basic things throughout the swing. "Notes for Juniors" on page 108 offers, well, you can guess.
And then you're done. The book comes to a graceful if sudden close.
In the end, the golfer is left with very little information to get him from address to the top of the backswing, then back to the ball. Perhaps it's a method of teaching Andrew Rice has found successful, but it leaves me with too many questions. It feels more like a collection of booklets than one cohesive book.
In speaking with Andrew, he feels strongly that because his players on The List got from address to the 84° Line and then back to impact in different ways, he purposefully wants to leave room for the golfer to do that himself so long as a few key things are maintained (one of which is a steady head). It's been awhile since I was new to golf, but I understand how worrying only about a few things has its advantages over a more comprehensive system with more checkpoints.
And please, don't get me wrong - the book contains great information. The drills, illustrations, photos, and tips are top notch. The ideology is sound.
I just wish there was more of it.
The book is available in two versions. You can download an eBook version for Windows (note: see comments for more on this), for $15.95 with immediate delivery. A hard-cover book complete with a dust jacket, gold foil front and spine, and the same 100 color photos and 45 illustrations is available for $26.95.
Either version can be purchased at this page.
Golf's an expensive sport - a sport in which players would easily spend $400 for a driver that gives them an extra ten yards or $200-300 for a putter that might take a stroke off their scores.
So for less than $20 or $30, I have no problem recommending It's All About Impact. It may be a bit on the short side, but I like virtually everything Andrew Rice has to say and I like the illustrations and photos he uses to help communicate his ideas and concepts. And in the end, this twenty dollar purchase is a lot more likely to help your score than any $200 or $400 equipment purchase.

What do you make mention of the "dogs," "clubs" and "hoses"? What did "Freedom March" mean in 1969?
1 Answer | Add Yours
To someone living in 1969, the term Freedom March would probably have brought up images of the large demonstrations for civil rights that had occurred earlier in that decade.
The mention of dogs, clubs, and hoses comes directly from some of the most compelling images of the civil rights movement. Protestors, most notably in Birmingham, Alabama, were attacked by police dogs and sprayed with extremely high-pressure water shot out of fire houses. There were also instances, such as that of the Freedom Riders of 1963, where people were clubbed by mobs.

Chapter 13
I Continue My Career As A Man Of Fashion
I find I have already filled up many scores of pages, and yet a vast deal of the most
interesting portion of my history remains to be told, viz. that which describes my sojourn
in the kingdoms of England and Ireland, and the great part I played there; moving among
the most illustrious of the land, myself not the least distinguished of the brilliant circle. In
order to give due justice to this portion of my Memoirs, then,--which is more important
than my foreign adventures can be (though I could fill volumes with interesting
descriptions of the latter),--I shall cut short the account of my travels in Europe, and of
my success at the Continental Courts, in order to speak of what befell me at home.
Suffice it to say that there is not a capital in Europe, except the beggarly one of Berlin,
where the young Chevalier de Balibari was not known and admired; and where he has not
made the brave, the high-born, and the beautiful talk of him. I won 80,000 roubles from
Potemkin at the Winter Palace at Petersburg, which the scoundrelly favourite never paid
me; I have had the honour of seeing his Royal Highness the Chevalier Charles Edward as
drunk as any porter at Rome; my uncle played several matches at billiards against the
celebrated Lord C----at Spa, and I promise you did not come off a loser. In fact, by a neat
stratagem of ours, we raised the laugh against his Lordship, and something a great deal
more substantial. My Lord did not know that the Chevalier Barry had a useless eye; and
when, one day, my uncle playfully bet him odds at billiards that he would play him with a
patch over one eye, the noble lord, thinking to bite us (he was one of the most desperate
gamblers that ever lived), accepted the bet, and we won a very considerable amount of
Nor need I mention my successes among the fairer portion of the creation. One of the
most accomplished, the tallest, the most athletic, and the handsomest gentlemen of
Europe, as I was then, a young fellow of my figure could not fail of having advantages,
which a person of my spirit knew very well how to use. But upon these subjects I am
dumb. Charming Schuvaloff, black-eyed Sczotarska, dark Valdez, tender Hegenheim,
brilliant Langeac!--ye gentle hearts that knew how to beat in old times for the warm
young Irish gentleman, where are you now? Though my hair has grown grey now, and
my sight dim, and my heart cold with years, and ennui, and disappointment, and the
treachery of friends, yet I have but to lean back in my arm- chair and think, and those
sweet figures come rising up before me out of the past, with their smiles, and their
kindnesses, and their bright tender eyes! There are no women like them now--no manners
like theirs! Look you at a bevy of women at the Prince's, stitched up in tight white satin
sacks, with their waists under their arms, and compare them to the graceful figures of the
old time! Why, when I danced with Coralie de Langeac at the fetes on the birth of the
first Dauphin at Versailles, her hoop was eighteen feet in circumference, and the heels of
her lovely little mules were three inches from the ground; the lace of my jabot was worth
a thousand crowns, and the buttons of my amaranth velvet coat alone cost eighty
thousand livres. Look at the difference now! The gentlemen are dressed like boxers,
Quakers, or hackney-coachmen; and the ladies are not dressed at all. There is no

One of the biggest scientific surprises from last year's "Stardust" space mission may have resulted from contamination from the spacecraft's rocket boosters, scientists in Spain are cautioning in a report scheduled for publication in the May 16 issue of ACS' Energy & Fuels, a bi-monthly journal.
Stardust was the first U.S. mission to capture samples of a comet (Comet Wild 2) and return that material, believed to hold clues to the origin of the solar system, to Earth for scientific analysis. In the report, Jesus Martinez-Frias and colleagues point out that scientists were surprised to find that Stardust had collected tiny grains of the mineral osbornite, which chemically is titanium nitride. Osbornite forms only at ultra-hot temperatures of about 3,140 Fahrenheit.
Scientists thus concluded that the osbornite could have formed near the sun, and ejected to the outer reaches of the solar system — an indication that the infant solar system was a much more violent and tumultuous place then previous believed.
Martinez-Frias and colleagues stress the plausibility and significance of such hypothesis, but suggest another possible explanation for osbornite presence, which they say has not yet been considered. They point out that Stardust's rocket thrusters used a propellant of ultra-pure hydrazine, which chemists long have used for the so-called nitration reactions used to make titanium nitride on Earth. The propellant likewise could have reacted in space with titanium from the comet or spacecraft to form titanium nitride, the researchers state. They recommend that laboratory simulation analyses and further studies are needed before reaching a final conclusion on osbornite origin.

|Re: Peculiar imbalance affecting 2 machines in a 6 node cluster
|Wed, 10 Aug 2011 14:45:21 GMT
Hi Aaron Thank you very much for the reply and the pointers to the previous list discussions. The second was was particularly telling. I'm happy to say that the problem is fixed, and it's so trivial it's quite embarrassing - but I'll state it here for the sake of the archives. There was an extra semicolon in the topology file in the line defining IPLA3. It's just as visible in my prod config as it is in my example below ;-) I'm guessing the parser splits <dc, rack> tuples on (":"), so it probably parsed the IPLA3 entry as "DCLA" , ":RAC1" (which is different than the others on "RAC1"), and so the NTS did its thing distributing evenly between racks, and IPLA3 got more of the data and IPLA2 got less. I''ve fixed it, and the reads/s and writes/s immediately equalized. I'm now doing a round of repairs/compactions/cleanups to equalize the data load as well. Unfortunately It's not easy in cassandra 0.7.8 to actually see the parsed topology state (unlike 0.8's nice ring output which shows the DC and rack), so I'm ashamed to say it took much longer than it should've to troubleshoot.

Peabody loses another round in Navajo coal lease fight
Wednesday, June 16, 2004
The world's largest coal company lost another round to the Navajo Nation on Tuesday when a federal appeals court tossed its lawsuit against the tribe. Peabody Coal has battled the tribe for more than a decade over a controversial coal mining lease approved during the Reagan administration. The agreement, whose royalty rate is in dispute, has spawned several lawsuits, including one that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the latest suit, Peabody sought to enforce a settlement reached through an arbitration clause in the lease. The settlement left intact the lower-paying royalty rate that tribal leaders say is unfair. But the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said Peabody lacked standing to bring the case. In a unanimous decision, a three-judge panel said the company has not raised a "federal question" requiring resolution in the federal courts. The problem, Judge Richard C. Tallman observed in the 14-page ruling, was that the settlement was not approved by the federal government. In contrast, both parties agreed that any arbitration award would not require involvement by the Interior Department. The clause came back to bite the company more than 10 years later. "Peabody seeks enforcement of the arbitration royalty award, not the lease," Tallman wrote, "[y]et the final arbitration award for which Peabody seeks enforcement was not federally approved." The decision is the latest in a series of setbacks Peabody has suffered in the courts. More than once, the company has been criticized for legal tactics seen as attempts to avoid liability for its role in the controversy. Last year, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed another lawsuit Peabody filed to force the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe into arbitration. During oral arguments, the judges chastised the company's lawyer for trying to "double-talk" them. The Navajo Nation accuses Peabody of conspiring with government officials to deny the tribe a 20 percent royalty rate on its coal deposit in northeastern Arizona. After a Peabody lobbyist met with then-Interior secretary Donald P. Hodel in June 1985, a Bureau of Indian Affairs decision in favor of the high rate was suppressed and the tribe was led back into negotiations. The lobbyist, Stanley Hulett, happened to be a personal friend of Hodel. Unaware of the meeting, the tribe -- facing severe economic distress financial pressure -- accepted a royalty rate of 12.5 percent. The tribe responded with a breach of trust claim against the federal government. Through the course of this litigation, the secret meeting come to light -- only because Peabody made public its internal memos outlining the lobbying. The case went to the Supreme Court, which ruled last year that the laws the tribe cited were not enough to hold the U.S. liable. But a federal appeals court has kept the suit alive. The tribe claims damages of $600 million, the amount it would have received under the 20 percent royalty rate. Separately, the tribe filed a case against Peabody under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Under the law, the tribe could be awarded up to three times the amount lost in the coal lease. The RICO case is moving forward in a federal court in Washington, D.C. The judge handling the case once threatened to hold the company in contempt for filing "frivolous" motions seen as mere delay tactics. Get the Decision:

Lord Goldsmith, the chief legal advisor to Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2003 told the Chilcot Inquiry his attempts to become involved in offering legal advice to the British government was denied. He had previously warned the prime minister that if he joined the US initiated invasion without authorization from the United Nations it would be a breach of international law. Goldsmith told the inquiry: "I was not being sufficiently involved in the meetings and discussions about the (UN) resolution." He went on to claim Blair's chief of staff, Jonathan Powell told him: "I was not being called on to give advice at this stage." Goldsmith has openly disagreed with Prime Minister Blair that Britain could invade Iraq without UN approval.
The Attorney General of a nation warns against an invasion on legal grounds and he is ignored. Oh well, we await George Bush's interpretation of how he went ahead with an invasion even though his buddy, Tony Blair must have informed the president what the UK attorney general thought about such a move.

Brian Wolfe named new director of Ford Racing Technology; Dan Davis to retire Aug. 1
* Brian Wolfe has been named director, Ford Racing Technology. A 26-year Ford veteran, he most recently was director of Ford's Powertrain Calibration and Controls, Product Development.
* Dan Davis, who oversaw Ford Racing activities for the past 11 years, will retire Aug. 1, after 32 years with Ford Motor Company.
DEARBORN, Mich., June 27, 2008 -- Brian Wolfe, a 26-year Ford veteran who has held a series of management positions within Ford's powertrain operations, has been named the new director of Ford Racing Technology, the company announced today.
Wolfe will replace Dan Davis, who has overseen the company's racing efforts the past 11 years. Davis will retire after 32 years with the company on Aug. 1.
"Dan has done a great job for the company and its racing program, and he's going to be a tough act to follow," said Wolfe. "I look forward to the challenge of taking the program forward and continuing the record of success he brought to us."
Wolfe, 47, has been director, Powertrain Calibration and Controls, Product Development, since 2002.
In his most recent job, Wolfe had global responsibility for all powertrain computer control software applications and powertrain calibration, including drivability and emissions.
He began his career at Ford Motor Company in 1982 and has held various positions within Ford's powertrain development area, including a stint as manager of Ford's Advanced Engine Group for North America, where he helped oversee the development of the Aston Martin V-12 engine.
Wolfe received bachelor's and master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering from University of Michigan-Dearborn.
He's an avid amateur drag racer and still owns the 1969 Fairlane CobraJet he bought at age 15.
Wolfe lives in Plymouth, Mich. He and his wife, Nancy, have two daughters and a son.
"For me, a kid from Michigan whose father idolized Henry Ford, there was never any doubt where I was going to work," Wolfe said. "To have this opportunity now to take the racing program forward is a dream come true."
Under Davis' leadership of Ford Racing Technology, the company captured three NASCAR Sprint Cup driver's titles and four manufacturer's titles. In addition, he helped with the formation of Roush-Yates Engines, the premier engine supplier to Ford NASCAR, sports car and USAC racing programs.
In NHRA, the company captured eight consecutive Funny Car championships, and Davis led development of the new Ford BOSS 500 nitro engine, the first new nitro engine in drag racing the past 40 years.
Davis also led major safety initiatives in both Champ Car racing and NHRA, where use of Ford Blue Box data recorders is now mandatory.
He also led a resurgence of Ford customer programs in road racing, where the Ford Mustang FR500GT, Mustang FR500C and now Mustang FR500S race cars are sold through Ford and compete in road racing circuits in North American and Europe.
Davis also will be known for starting the Clorox/Ford Women's Driver Development Program in USAC, the first partnership of a consumer sponsor and auto manufacturer to try and develop women for professional racing.
He also expanded Ford's grassroots racing programs, helping start the USAC Ford Focus Midget Series, which has grown nationally as a cost-effective way for youths to enter racing.

Toxic waste sites may cause health problems for millions
Exposure to lead and chromium particularly problematic for people living in three developing countries
By Erin Wayman, 09:49 AM May 6, 2013
Living near a toxic waste site may represent as much of a health threat as some infectious diseases, a study in three developing countries finds.
Researchers analyzed 373 toxic waste sites in India, Indonesia and the Philippines, where an estimated 8.6 million people are at risk of exposure to lead, asbestos, hexavalent chromium and other hazardous materials. Among those people at risk, the exposures could cause a loss of around 829,000 years of good health as a result of disease, disabili...

That's your 2014 WVU football poster and I think it's pretty clever. I'm also a sucker for anything that takes me behind the scenes, and you can have a look at how folks put that together this year. Never would I have thought that that would be something that interests me, but pull the curtain back for me and I'm hooked.
Note again that there's a mysterious Mountaineer. We don't know who that is and we can safely assume that was intentional, something of an all for one, one for all message. It's also sort of consistent with what happened last season, when WVU struggled to identify a marketing identity — and then Andrew Buie, one of three faces of the media guide, left
the team school.
I wonder: Does this team have a face? Does it have faces? Or are we cool with the dark face mask visor?

Last year at BoxWorks, we discussed how information sits at the center of business. This time around, we're focusing on how Box can help you get more out of your information than ever before possible.
Today, we're announcing all new ways to capture, share, and consume information in the cloud. We've overhauled Box on the web and iOS to create a truly seamless and beautiful content experience, both efforts largely driven by our recent acquisitions of Crocodoc and Folders. We're also introducing a new way to create and collaborate on content with a new product called Box Notes. And finally, we're enabling you to add rich context around your content with customizable metadata.
In all cases, we're moving information to the front of your Box experience. Whether you're reviewing blueprints on Box, presenting a PowerPoint deck from the Box iPad app, or brainstorming with colleagues in a Box Note, the information you're working with should be the focus, and the technology itself should fade into the background. All of this helps move information within and beyond your business more quickly and effectively.
Information velocity is going to transform how individuals work and how organizations operate. Over time, it will even revolutionize and modernize entire industries.
At the individual level, we now expect simple, always-connected experiences in both our personal and work lives. We're more mobile than ever before, working from a multitude of locations, devices and applications. This trend is perfectly encapsulated by a single statistic: there will be more tablet computers sold in Q4 of this year than personal computers. And with these devices, we have instant access to an unprecedented amount of information.
But the velocity of information in an era of cloud and mobile doesn't just affect us as individuals, it also remakes our organizations. This is not surprising: the way organizations function has historically corresponded to the technology available. Steven Sinofsky explains that, "The mainframe was about centralized information and control. The PC era empowered people to first take mainframe data and make better use of it and later to create new, but inherently local or workgroup specific information sources."
As businesses become more networked, distributed, and collaborative because of cloud and mobile technologies, information refuses to conform to hierarchies, or remain in locked up files or packaged artifacts. The linear, process-centric way of sharing that dominated in the command-and-control period of the mainframe and PC era is neither tenable nor warranted in the modern enterprise. We need new tools that reflect the ways we can share and collaborate around information in this new world.
And this new way of working will be begin to transform entire industries.
Nearly 30 years ago, at the beginning of the personal computer wave, Michael Porter explained that, "[IT] is permeating the value chain at every point, transforming the way value activities are performed and the nature of the linkages among them."
Today, we're finally seeing this transformation take hold, and the role of IT is no longer confined to the flow of information within a business. Today's IT department must find ways to increase the velocity of information at the seams of organizations. In healthcare, that means doctors collaborating with patients and researchers; in manufacturing, it means virtualizing much of the supply chain by connecting vendors, suppliers, and customers together; in financial services, it means new ways that firms can coordinate directly with customers with fewer physical steps or middlemen. To do this, organizations will have to re-imagine critical workflows, connect to clients in new ways, and discover ways of delivering value faster and more fluidly.
We're in the most exciting period of technology history, and it's only just getting started. The first 30 years of bringing personalized computing and networks into the enterprise were -- in a sense -- just preparing us for what's to come. We look forward to learning more about how information velocity is transforming business from you, the organizations on the bleeding edge, and hope you're as excited as we are about the role Box plays in helping to boost the speed of business.

Metasploit (Updating Issues)
I'm running a full HD Install of Back Track 3 on my EEE PC. For the past like 3 weeks, I haven't been able to get any updates on Metasploit. It was like this before, but I had re-downloaded the framework, ran the svn update and it gave me some updates. I typically go:
bt# cd /pentest/exploits/framework3
bt framework3# svn update
Then it gives me
At revision 6508
bt framework3#
I was just wondering, what revision # is it showing for all of you? I have a default trunk of exploits numbering out to 320 total & I'd definitely like to get more for my attack arsenal. I had deleted the /root/.msf3 folder too once I got rid of my /pentest/exploits/framework3 directory, is this causing an issue with it? I've also accepted the ssl certification too. Guidance / Advice? Thanks in advanced guys!

CREE FYQ4 Beats, Q1 View Misses; Shares Rise
Shares of light-emitting diode (LED) technology maker Cree (CREE) are up 88 cents, or 3.3%, at $27.22 in late trading after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q4 revenue and profit per share that exceeded analysts' average estimates, though it forecast this quarter's results below consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose to $306.8 million, yielding EPS of 25 cents.
Analysts on average had been modeling $306.3 million and 23 cents a share.
CEO Chuck Swoboda remarked that "Overall, LED lighting adoption continues to increase and we remain focused on being the leader in innovation to grow our business by enabling our customers to realize the tremendous benefits of LED technology."
However, he added, "While we are encouraged by our progress, the macroeconomic environment is impacting our growth outlook in the near term."
For the current quarter, the company projects revenue in a range of $305 million to $325 million, and EPS in a range of 23 cents to 28 cents.
That is below the average estimate for fiscal Q1 of $328.6 million and 28 cents.
Shares of organic LED maker Universal Display (PANL) are down 56 cents, or 1.7%, at $33.32 in extended trading.

I'm having some trouble with my rpm gauge. Its fluttering up and down all the time and isnt showing an accurate reading. I took it out of the dash and cleaned it all up and cleaned the ports and its still doing it. Is there a sensor on the engine that might just be loose?

|Jul 5 2011, 12:31 AM Post #502
Its the stock kind that comes in the stick shift geos. *some dont I know*
I found that there was a plug unplugged next to the intake. for the life of me I cant figure out where its suppost to plug in.
Does anyone have a digram that shows where everything plugs in that area.
|Jul 7 2011, 12:14 AM Post #503
It was just that same coolant plug that broke when I first got the car. i'm gonna swap it out tomorrow then start checking grounds. Ugh
|Jul 7 2011, 02:58 AM Post #504
Do those headlights connect to the original harness?
|Jul 8 2011, 02:32 PM Post #505
The lights that come with the headlight assembles do. Beware they are complete crap. The assembly is what you want. DO NOT use the bulbs that come with it. They always overheat and then you get this dark smoke residue all inside the assembly that is a pain to clean. I decided I'd give it another go while I was waiting on the HIDs and it happened again. DONT USE EM. Go get yourself some HIDS or some silverstar H4 bulbs to put in it instead and you'll be happy with it.
Just installed the new HID bulbs and all I can say is F*#& YEA! Very bright, takes about 5seconds to warm up, and exactly what I wanted. The Bi bulbs have a shiny metal casing that goes across the tip of the bulb to keep it from blinding people The housing actually works for the projection lens and they don't use nearly as much power. When I'm using regular bulbs I can hear the rmps drop a bit (rmp gauge isn't working right :?) But with these bulbs thats not really a problem. They only use 35w vs the 100w bulbs I was using and they are so much brighter.
I also installed my new 10inch BOSS sub last night. Its one of those condensed kinds that takes up less room so you can put it in a smaller box and get a bit more outta the smaller box. It sounds great. I also got a big heat shield carpet pad to put on the floor before I truck bed liner it in. Geos running great and I'm almost done with her couldn't be happier with it.
|Jul 9 2011, 01:03 AM Post #506
|I ordered those headlights and just plan on using different bulbs.
|Jul 10 2011, 03:39 PM Post #507
I'd suggest silverstar.
The current bulbs get too hot and will melt the housing so dont use them at all. The guy I bought the lights from is sending me out a new one since the bulb he supplied melted the housing. I rigged in the HID on that side and you cant tell, but since it wasnt my fault I want to get my moneys worth
Well today I was idling with the AC on and the belt started to smoke then proceeded to brake before I could get to the bay. (was in driveway) I looked down at the compressor and noticed that one of the screws snapped and its all set in there slightly crooked now. I'm about to run to the junk yard and grab a new set of bolts for it and a belt from orilleys.
|Jul 10 2011, 07:04 PM Post #508
|After looking online for a answer to why my rmp gauge is fluttering all the time I've found the reason. My transmission ground is loose. I found a honda civic form where a guy replaced his clutch and then his rpm gauge was fluttering, this scenario match perfectly with mine. So I went outside and sure enough its a bit loose. I dont have any tools with me to fix it, but I'm gonna tighten her back up as soon as I get home I'm getting pretty good at figuring out how to find my own answers instead of just relying on you guys

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is looking for new signing Lewis Holtby to add an extra dimension to his side - and he could hand the German his debut tomorrow night.
Holtby, 22, had already agreed a deal to move to White Hart Lane from Schalke in the summer at the end of his contract but the move has been brought forward and the Germany international could make his Premier League debut as early as tomorrow when Spurs visit Norwich.
The former Chelsea boss is hopeful £1.5million acquisition Holtby can make an immediate impact on his squad.
"We rate the player very highly," he said.
"We managed to get him at a good price, it was always a question of how much Schalke would want for the player.
"I think there was willingness from the player to come early so we have decided to add him to the squad - he is an extremely talented attacking midfielder who can play in a variety of roles.
"He is used to playing in different positions, he is young and talented - I think he is an excellent addition for us.
"He has been selected for the game (at Norwich) - he has just had one training session so we will decide wisely if it (playing) is appropriate or not."
