One problem with this format is that it is not well documented and therefore not well understood. I hope to address this issue.
The man pages state:
-oGUnfortunately, the documentation stops there.
This logs the results of your scans in a grepable form into the file you specify as an argument. This simple format provides all the information on one line (so you can easily grep for port or OS information and see all the IPs. This used to be the pre- ferred mechanism for programs to interact with Nmap, but now we recommend XML output (-oX instead). This simple format may not contain as much information as the other formats. You can give the argument "-" (without quotes) to shoot output into stdout (for shell pipelines, etc). In this case normal output will be suppressed. Watch out for error messages if you use this (they will still go to stderr). Also note that "-v" will cause some extra information to be printed.
Most of the information returned by the normal output or XML output is included with the grepable output, and as of version 3.49 of nmap, Version scanning is included in the grepable output.
The first example is a basic scan using all the defaults, except output.
$ nmap -oG - insecure.org # nmap 3.48 scan initiated Thu Dec 11 10:51:45 2003 as: nmap -oG - insecure.org Host: 22.214.171.124 () Ports: 22/open/tcp//ssh///, 25/open/tcp//smtp///, 53/open/tcp//domain///, 80/open/tcp//http///, 113/closed/tcp//auth/// Ignored State: filtered (1652) # Nmap run completed at Thu Dec 11 10:52:51 2003 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 66.544 secondsThe command line option used here was the -oG for grepable output, but I sent it to STDOUT by using the - option, rather than to a file.
I stated that there was one line per host, but on a simple run such as this, there are also 2 comment style lines. The first one notes what command was used to launch nmap, and the version, date and time started. The second one is at the end and tells the date and time that the scan finished, how long the scan took, and the number of hosts up. This reflects the basic information included in the standard output as well.
Looking at the line that contains the data we want to examine, we have:
Host: 188.8.131.52 () Ports: 22/open/tcp//ssh///, 25/open/tcp//smtp///, 53/open/tcp//domain///, 80/open/tcp//http///, 113/closed/tcp//auth/// Ignored State: filtered (1652)We have Section Defining Tags, in this case Host, Ports, and Ignored State. These sections are separated with tabs (\t). We can use a split function, such as the one in Perl, to be able to work with each one of these fields. An example in Perl might look like:
@fields = split("\t", $nmap_output);
We now have three items in an array. These items would be:
Host: 22.214.171.124 () Ports: 22/open/tcp//ssh///, 25/open/tcp//smtp///, 53/open/tcp//domain///, 80/open/tcp//http///, 113/closed/tcp//auth/// Ignored State: filtered (1652)Using this same concept, we can split on the colon (:) to generate a key-value pair consisting of the field name and value assigned to that field.
The Host entry only has 2 fields, space separated. This is the IP and the DNS entry for that IP address. In this case there is no reverse entry for DNS.
The second field in a basic scan is Ports. Ports is a comma separated list of ports. Each entry within this comma separated list is divided into 7 sections, but not all are used for a basic scan. These sections are separated by a forward slash (/). The fields are:
port number / state / protocol / owner / service / rpc info / version info
- port number:
The port number this entry is related to
- state:
open, closed or filtered.
Depending on the scan type, the exact meaning and determination can change slightly for each of these, but the basic idea is that open means that the target machine will accept connetions on that port.
closed means that as far as nmap can tell there is nothing blocking the port, but the device is not accepting connections.
filtered means that some method was used to keep nmap from being able to determie whether or not the port is open. This is often done with firewalls or network filters.
An exaple of of these, looking at a SYN scan, would be that for open to be the state a SYN/ACK would be returned for our SYN sent. closed would be reported by nmap when a RST (reset) packet would be returned and filtered would show up as the state when either nothing was returned, and and we assume that a firewall dropped the request, or an ICMP port unreachable message was returned.
More details can be found in the man pages or at http:///www.insecure.org/nmap/
- protocol:
The protocol associated with the port, usually tcp or udp.
- owner:
This field will have the user running an app if a few requirements are fulfilled. First, you must specify to include a reverse ident scan (-I) and identd must be running on the remote host and be available. Keep in mind that identd can be set to return any info the administrator wants, so don't trust the data.
- service:
By default the service is going to be the name related to the port via the nmap-services file. If version scanning is used (-sV), this field will be populated with the service detected by the probe. In some cases the entry may be compound such as "ssl|http" or you may see a common service name with a trailing question mark.
Details on the Nmap version detection are available at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/versionscan.html
- rpc info:
RPC info is similar to the owner field in that it is only filled in with two requirements are met. Once again the scan has to be enabled via the RCP scan (-sR) that will gain the info the same way 'rpcinfo -p' does. This also means that the rpcbind, portmapper has to be running on the host being scanned.
- version info:
This field will also be empty unless the specific scan type is requested. Including the version scan (-sV) will fill this field if nmap is able to determine what is running on the port. This is also detailed at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/versionscan.html. We will look at this in more detail below.
($port, $state, $protocol, $owner, $service, $rpc_info, $version) = split('/', $ports);The last field in the basic scan is the "Ignored State" which tells which state was ignored and how many entries (ports) were associated with that state. In this example there are 1652 ports filtered that were scanned.
An example of how to use the grepable output on the command line is to pipe the output to something like awk to find all hosts that have a particular port open. For example, if we want to know all the hosts with port 80 open on a subnet but all we want to see if the IP, we can use something like this:
$ nmap -p80 -PS80 -oG - 10.1.1.0/24 | awk '/open/{print $2}' 10.1.1.72 10.1.1.73 10.1.1.75 10.1.1.149 10.1.1.152 10.1.1.160 10.1.1.161 10.1.1.201 10.1.1.254The -p80 states to scan for port 80. -PS80 means to use a SYN Ping method to see if the host is up. This will speed up the scan greatly because it will not scan twice, as it normally would, with the first being to see if the host is up and then scanning to see if the port is open. Nmap is smart enough to know that it has already tested that port with the SYN Ping. We also send the grepable output to STDOUT with -oG - and then pipe that to awk. The awk command is running this simple script, where /open/ matches on the test open (same as going a 'grep open') and the prints the second field breaking the output on spaces. If we wanted to include the domain name, we could use this:
$ nmap -p80 -PS80 -oG - 10.1.1.0/24 | awk '/open/{print $2 " " $3}' 10.1.1.72 (userA.corp.foocompany.biz) 10.1.1.73 (userB.corp.foocompany.biz) 10.1.1.75 (userC.corp.foocompany.biz) 10.1.1.149 (admin.corp.foocompany.biz) 10.1.1.152 (printer.corp.foocompany.biz) 10.1.1.160 (10-1-1-160.foocompany.biz) 10.1.1.161 (10-1-1-161.foocompany.biz) 10.1.1.201 (10-1-1-201.foocompany.biz) 10.1.1.254 (10-1-1-254.foocompany.biz)This is where we grab the second and third field from each line.
Now if we look at some other examples and other scanning options we can see the basic formatting does not change, and makes it fairly easy to parse with scripts or other applications.
If we turn on verbose logging we have more "comment" lines added. A
$ sudo nmap -v -oG - 10.1.1.100 # nmap 3.48BETA1 scan initiated Thu Dec 11 15:03:01 2003 as: nmap -v -oG - 10.1.1.100 # Ports scanned: TCP(1657;1-1027,1029-1033,...,61439-61441,65301) UDP(0;) PROTOCOLS(0;) Host: 10.1.1.100 (devbox.corp.foocompany.biz) Ports: 80/open/tcp//http///, 135/open/tcp//msrpc///, 139/open/tcp//netbios-ssn///, 443/open/tcp//https///, 445/open/tcp//microsoft-ds///, 1025/open/tcp//NFS-or-IIS///, 2105/open/tcp//eklogin///, 3389/open/tcp//ms-term-serv/// Ignored State: closed (1638) # Nmap run completed at Thu Dec 11 15:03:09 2003 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 7.668 secondsWe can see that we now have a line (that I shortened) that has information about what ports were scanned. Specifically it tell us that 1657 TCP ports were scanned, and then a semicolon (;), then a list of the ports. It also tells us that we did not scan any UDP ports and no extra protocols.
At this time adding more verbose tags on the command line (-vvv) does not further change the grepable output.
If we add the OS Detection to the scan, we see results like this:
$ sudo nmap -O -oG - 10.1.1.100 # nmap 3.48BETA1 scan initiated Thu Dec 11 15:15:00 2003 as: nmap -O -oG - 10.1.1.100 Host: 10.1.1.100 (devbox.corp.foocorp.biz) Ports: 80/open/tcp//http///, 135/open/tcp//msrpc///, 139/open/tcp//netbios-ssn///, 443/open/tcp//https///, 445/open/tcp//microsoft-ds///, 1025/open/tcp//NFS-or-IIS///, 2105/open/tcp//eklogin///, 3389/open/tcp//ms-term-serv/// Ignored State: closed (1638) OS: Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 2000 Professional or Advanced Server, or Windows XP|Microsoft Windows XP SP1 Seq Index: 22972 IPID Seq: Incremental # Nmap run completed at Thu Dec 11 15:15:48 2003 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 47.921 secondsOnce again we have our main sections of the output tab delimited (\t). Adding the OS Fingerprinting added a few new fields. Specifically we see:
OS: Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 2000 Professional or Advanced Server, or Windows XP|Microsoft Windows XP SP1 Seq Index: 22972 IPID Seq: IncrementalEach of these fields is in the same key/value format as before, being separated by a colon (:). As of this writing nmap grepable output does not support the "Device Type" or "Running" fields as returned from the standard or XML output.
The IPID and Seq Index only show up on the standard output with verbose (-v) turned on with OS detection.
The OS field is equivalent to the "OS details" from the standard and XML output which gives you the best guesses for the OS from the fingerprint when possible.
Specifically the IPID Seq field is the IP Sequence Generation field from standard output which will tell how the IPIDs are generated by the host. Examples are Incremental, Randomized, Random positive increments, etc. This value will help determine how vulnerable the host might be to certain types of attacks and information gathering tactics.
The Seq Index field is the difficulty rating to predict the next TCP sequence number. In the normal output we have some key terms to help read this number, but the basic idea is that the higher the number the harder it is to guess the next TCP sequence number in the TCP header.
Seq < 10 - Trivial Joke 11 < Seq < 80 - Easy 81 < Seq < 3000 - Medium Difficulty 3001 < Seq < 5000 - Formidable 5001 < Seq < 10000 - Worthy challenge 10001 < Seq - "Good Luck!"Taking a step back and looking at simple scans, such as a ping scan, we can see that the basic format is the same, still tab (\t) delimited entries:
$ sudo nmap -oG - -sP 10.1.1.172/29 # nmap 3.48BETA1 scan initiated Thu Dec 11 15:49:17 2003 as: nmap -oG - -sP 10.1.1.168/29 Host: 10.1.1.168 (alice.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Up Host: 10.1.1.169 (madhat-sun.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Up Host: 10.1.1.170 (madhat.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Up Host: 10.1.1.171 (madhat-laptop.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Up Host: 10.1.1.172 (iss-scanner.dal.foocorp.biz) Status: Up Host: 10.1.1.173 (hatta.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Up # Nmap run completed at Thu Dec 11 15:49:19 2003 -- 8 IP addresses (6 hosts up) scanned in 1.242 secondsOnce again we can split on the tab (\t) to get the 2 fields returned here. Each one returned is in the key/value pair format, using the colon (:) delimiter.
Adding a -v to this scan will show both up and down hosts, with only the Status field changing. The same output is used for the List scan (-sL) that only does a lookup on the IPs. The only difference is that it does not try to contact the hosts at all and only does a DNS lookup for each IP and the Status is reported as Unknown.
An example can be found here:
$ sudo nmap -oG - -sL 10.1.1.172/29 # nmap 3.48BETA1 scan initiated Thu Dec 11 15:49:17 2003 as: nmap -oG - -sP 10.1.1.168/29 Host: 10.1.1.168 (alice.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Unknown Host: 10.1.1.169 (madhat-sun.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Unknown Host: 10.1.1.170 (madhat.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Unknown Host: 10.1.1.171 (madhat-laptop.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Unknown Host: 10.1.1.172 (iss-scanner.dal.foocorp.biz) Status: Unknown Host: 10.1.1.173 (hatta.corp.foocorp.biz) Status: Unknown Host: 10.1.1.174 () Status: Unknown Host: 10.1.1.175 () Status: Unknown # Nmap run completed at Thu Dec 11 15:49:19 2003 -- 8 IP addresses (6 hosts up) scanned in 1.242 secondsLooking at the RPC scan (-sR) we can fill in another one of the fields available in each of the port indicators. Here is an example of using the RPC scan with RPC running on the box:
$ sudo nmap -oG - -p21-25,80,111,443,4045,32774 -sR -T4 box.foocorp.biz # nmap 3.48BETA1 scan initiated Tue Dec 16 16:37:18 2003 as: nmap -oG - -p21-25,80,111,443,4045,32774 -sR -T4 box.foocorp.biz Host: 10.1.1.146 (box.foocorp.biz) Ports: 21/open/tcp//ftp/N//, 22/open/tcp//ssh/N//, 23/closed/tcp//telnet///, 24/closed/tcp//priv-mail///, 25/open/tcp//smtp/N//, 80/closed/tcp//http///, 111/open/tcp//rpcbind/(rpcbind:100000*2-4)/2-4 (rpc #100000)/, 443/closed/tcp//https///, 4045/open/tcp//nlockmgr/(nlockmgr:100021*1-4)/1-4 (rpc #100021)/, 32774/open/tcp//sometimes-rpc11/N// # Nmap run completed at Tue Dec 16 16:37:18 2003 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.490 secondsFor this example we are only looking at the ports section of the output:
Ports: 21/open/tcp//ftp/N//, 22/open/tcp//ssh/N//, 23/closed/tcp//telnet///, 24/closed/tcp//priv-mail///, 25/open/tcp//smtp/N//, 80/closed/tcp//http///, 111/open/tcp//rpcbind/(rpcbind:100000*2-4)/2-4 (rpc #100000)/, 443/closed/tcp//https///, 4045/open/tcp//nlockmgr/(nlockmgr:100021*1-4)/1-4 (rpc #100021)/, 32774/open/tcp//sometimes-rpc11/N//Each port's information is separated by a comma (,), and each field within the port's data is separated by a forward slash (/). Looking at the fields again, we have port number, state, protocol, and user, which will be discussed later, and RPC information and version information.
The RPC information is filled in by running queries on the remote host equivalent to rpcinfo -p
111/open/tcp//rpcbind/(rpcbind:100000*2-4)/2-4 (rpc #100000)/In this example we have TCP port 111 open. TCP port 111 is labeled as rpcbind in the nmap-services file and is reported as such here. The sixth field denotes the name, in this case again rpcbind, the RPC program number, the low version number of the RPC program found on that port and the high version of the RPC program found on that port. The data returned is always returned with parenthesis and in the format:
The last field is the version information field and prints the same information, but in a different format. It only includes the low and high versions found and the RPC program number. The format is:
Looking at rpcinfo output from the same host:
$ rpcinfo -p box.foocorp.biz program vers proto port 100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 4 udp 111 portmapper 100000 3 udp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapperWe can combine all this information to match what nmap has reported, minus the name mapping in the last field. We have the program number 100000. Lowest version shown is 2 and the highest is 4.
Another option in nmap is to do a protocol scan, to see what protocols are supported on a host. This scan can not be combined with other scan types at this time.
Here is our example of this scan type:
$ sudo nmap -oG - -sO madhat-laptop.corp # nmap 3.47 scan initiated Wed Dec 17 10:35:00 2003 as: nmap -oG - -sO madhat-laptop.corp Host: 10.1.1.171 (madhat-laptop.corp.foocorp.biz) Protocols: 1/open/icmp/, 2/open/igmp/, 6/open/tcp/, 17/open/udp/, 255/open// Ignored State: closed (251) # Nmap run completed at Wed Dec 17 10:35:04 2003 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3.750 secondsLooking at the output we see it is very similar to other scan type outputs, with the sections still tab (\t) separate, except that here instead of a "Ports" section, we have a "Protocols" section. Within this section the format is similar to that of the Ports, but shorter. We have 3 fields, protocol ID, state and name. In our example protocol 1 is open and known as ICMP. The names are started in /etc/protocols or nmap-protocols. There are 256 protocols, so we can see that we had 251 in the Ignored State of closed and 5 open.
Reverse ident scanning (-I), using the ident protocol, only works with TCP connect scans (-sT). You will actually get an error that it is being ignored when writing to a file or using standard output. The fourth field in the ports was mentioned earlier as being the "owner" as noted by an Ident scan. Here is an example:
$ nmap -oG - -T4 -sT -I madhat.corp # nmap 3.47 scan initiated Wed Dec 17 11:02:59 2003 as: nmap -oG - -T4 -sT -I madhat.corp Host: 10.1.1.170 (madhat.corp.foocorp.biz) Ports: 22/open/tcp/root/ssh///, 111/open/tcp/rpc/rpcbind///, 113/open/tcp/ident/auth///, 3306/open/tcp/mysql/mysql///, 6000/open/tcp/root/X11/// Ignored State: closed (1652) # Nmap run completed at Wed Dec 17 11:03:00 2003 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.701 secondsAlso mentioned before is the fact we can not truly trust this information, as many people do not run an identd server anymore or use it to report specific user names for IRC or other apps. The format has not changed; a new field was filled in. In this example we can see that the app that is listening on 22 is running as root, the app on 3306 is running as mysql and the app running on 113 is running as ident.
As of version 3.49 of nmap Version Scanning is included in the grepable output. If we look at an example:
$ nmap -oG - -T4 -sTV madhat.corp # nmap 3.48BETA1 scan initiated Wed Dec 17 11:43:09 2003 as: nmap -oG - -T4 -sTV madhat.corp Host: 10.1.1.170 (madhat.corp.foocorp.biz) Ports: 22/open/tcp//ssh//OpenSSH 3.1p1 (protocol 1.99)/, 80/open/tcp//http//Apache httpd 1.3.27 ((Unix) (Red-Hat|Linux) mod_ssl|2.8.12 OpenSSL|0.9.6 PHP|4.1.2 mod_perl|1.24_01)/, 111/open/tcp//rpcbind//2 (rpc #100000)/, 113/open/tcp//ident//OpenBSD identd/, 443/open/tcp//ssl|http//Apache httpd 1.3.27 ((Unix) (Red-Hat|Linux) mod_ssl|2.8.12 OpenSSL|0.9.6 PHP|4.1.2 mod_perl|1.24_01)/, 3306/open/tcp//mysql//MySQL 3.23.55/, 6000/open/tcp//X11//(access denied)/ Ignored State: closed (1650) # Nmap run completed at Wed Dec 17 11:43:19 2003 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 10.689 secondsOnce again the output is basically the same as we have seen before, but we add the last, seventh, field in the Ports section. This field, as noted before, contains the version information. Details on how the version of an app is determined can be found at:
We first listen for a response. Based on what we receive or don't receive, we send predefined queries to elicit a response that will help us determine what is running on that port.
If we look at this example closer we can see that we have port 22 open, and it is running OpenSSH 3.1p1 (protocol 1.99). Looking at port 80, we have Apache httpd 1.3.27 ((Unix) (Red-Hat|Linux) mod_ssl|2.8.12 OpenSSL|0.9.6 PHP|4.1.2 mod_perl|1.24_01), which points out an important change in the grepable output from the standard or XML output. Because the grepable output uses the forward slash (/) as a delimiter the forward slash in the version information had to be escaped or changed. The final decision was to change it to a pipe (|) for ease of scripting or piping to another application. In the same way that standard output puts ssl/ in front of the service field when SSL is detected by a version scan, the grepable output also denotes SSLified ports but again uses the | as the delimiter, so as to not interfere with the existing formatting.
443/open/tcp//ssl|http//Apache httpd 1.3.27 ((Unix) (Red-Hat|Linux) mod_ssl|2.8.12 OpenSSL|0.9.6 PHP|4.1.2 mod_perl|1.24_01)/,In our example from above we can see an example of both of these substitutions in the HTTPS port 443. The service name is ssl|http, denoting that the HTTP protocol is being used behind SSL. When the version information is returned in the format, everything outside of the parenthesis is the primary information consisting of the server and the version, when possible, and the data within the parenthesis is considered extra information gathered from the host. In the information in this example, we can see that the extra information returned by nmap about the version includes RedHat|Linux, meaning that what was return or normally displayed would be RedHat/Linux.
Once again more details on Version scanning with nmap can be found at:
Keep in mind that the default for -oG grepable output is to specify a file to write to, and when doing this, the standard output will be shown on STDOUT and the data show above will be written to the file.
Some examples on how to use the grepable output can be found at:

The most interesting feature of the R10000G is the fact that you can manage its wireless power, between 100 percent and 15 percent. This is in case you're worried that the router offers too much coverage that would somehow be detrimental to your home network.
I was really expecting exceptional range with the Amped Wireless R10000G--and I did get exceptional range in my testing. In fact, the router offers by far the longest range I've seen. In my office, which is on the sixth floor of a building, I could only test a range of up to about 350 feet--before I would have had to walk out of the building and remain in the air, which I didn't want to do--and the router's range seemed to top that. That said, I couldn't tell how far its actual range was. I tried connecting from the ground floor and wasn't able to, which isn't surprising considering all the concrete in the building.
I did notice that starting from 300 feet out, it was harder to get connected to the router and remain connected, despite the fact that the signal indicator was still almost full. Note however that my office is not a control environment, meaning there are other wireless networks and devices that might interfere with the testing. So you might have a different experience where you are. Nonetheless, from what I saw, the R10000G indeed offered really long range.
The router's wireless data rate was also good in my trials, though not as exceptional as its range. In close-range (15 feet) testing, the router registered 47.4Mbps. When I increased the range to 100 feet, it averaged just 20.2Mbps. These numbers were slightly lower than average on my comparison charts, but are more than enough for Internet sharing.
And it seems the router should be used for Internet sharing only, since it didn't pass one of two 24-hour stress tests. During this test, the router is set up to continuously transfer a large amount of data back and forth between multiple clients. The R10000G failed the test after about 10 hours. I tried it again the second time and it passed, so it might have been just an aberration the first time around. Still with the slightly low data rates and the lack of support for the 5GHz band, the R10000G is best suited for wireless Internet sharing.
I noted that the R10000G became rather hot after extended operation. It wasn't hot enough to be alarming, but did make its thin, flimsy plastic cover feel slightly softer. This made me concerned about the router's durability. I'd recommend using it in a cool and open place.
(Longer bars indicate better performance)
Service and support
Amped Wireless backs the High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Router R10000G with a one-year warranty, which is short albeit standard for routers. You can also return it after 30 days in case you find all that range is just too much too bear. On the company's Web site, there's a dedicated page for the router that provide lots of support information. The page seems to be new and incomplete, however; for example, when I clicked on the link to download the firmware, it took me to another page that showed a flashy presentation of how the router works.
With an exceptionally long Wi-Fi range and slightly below-average wireless data rates, the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Router R10000G would be a very good router for those who want to share Internet access wirelessly in a large property or office.

DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. - A 35-year old unsolved murder case has a valley man pushing for answers. Jim Alt still deals with the pain from the terrifying night. Though he now lives with his girlfriend in Desert Hot Springs, "It really knocks me down sometimes," said the now 52-year-old Alt.
Jim continues to deal with the murder of his girlfriend in San Diego. It happened in 1978 on the beach in San Diego when he was 17 and she was 15. "I love that girl," said Alt. "I should have died. She should have been the one that made it to the car."
The coroner's report reads passersby found the girl, Barbara Nantais, naked, beaten, mutilated and strangled near a lifeguard tower at Torrey Pines State Beach. Nantais and Alt were camping on the beach when they were apparently attacked. The report also reads Alt was found nearby "dazed, beaten and bloody." He says somebody knocked him unconscious. "I woke up cold, wet and I could not see," said Alt.
He still struggles to remember the painful night, and the days in surgery that followed. As a result of the attack, doctors placed a titanium plate in his head.
"It's a constant reminder, every time I look in the mirror," said Alt. "I've got something to remind me of what happened."
He not only continues to deal with the physical damage, but worse, the emotional pain. Doctors diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder. While he undergoes therapy and other treatment, he still wants the case solved. "I know I'm kind of pushing it, but when that clock keeps ticking and nothing happens," said Alt. "A lot of frustration sets in."
Last month, Alt received an e-mail from the San Diego police department. Investigators plan to follow up on leads and order new DNA tests. "The number one thing for me to move on is to find some kind of closure, answers that I don't have now," said Alt.
Until he gets those answers, Alt says he's set on pushing a case almost 35 years old and 35 years cold. "If you have someone in handcuffs, my motor's going to slow down, and I'm going to stop," said Alt. "But right now, I'm not stopping, it's a force that drives me."

Lord McAlpine dead: David Cameron pays tribute to 'dedication' to
Family announces news
Family announces news
Long-awaited report into handling of Newsnight debacle to be released on Friday
Joanna Page has announced the birth of her baby daughter.
A BBC drama about supermarket workers who win the lottery is to be remade for American audiences.
Jeremy Vine will host this weekend's edition of The Andrew Marr Show as the broadcaster continues to "make progress" after his stroke.
The not-for-profit journalism group dragged into the row over the Newsnight report that led to Lord McAlpine being wrongly exposed as a paedophile has said it had had no control over the story but admitted failings over a decision to second one of its reporters to the BBC.
Lord McAlpine has reached a £125,000 settlement with ITV and Phillip Schofield over a This Morning programme on 8 November.
In Abi Morgan's Fifties drama the pressure to break big stories even as resources and budgets are shrinking struck some awkward resonances
Tim Davie, also a habitué of extreme marathons, may cope with the pressures of the job rather better than his predecessor
We've forgotten the real story - and Newsnight's redeeming qualities
Ironically, the lack of checks on the McAlpine might be helpful to some top BBC figures, but they're far from in the clear yet.
In its long and glorious history, The New York Times has challenged presidents, generals and dictators. At the moment, its journalists are taking on an unlikely figure: the newspaper's new chief executive.
Further allegations of sexual assault were made against Jimmy Savile last night, as yet more women came forward to say that they had been attacked by the former television star.
Further doubts have been expressed about whether former BBC director-general Mark Thompson is a suitable figure to take over as the new chief executive of the New York Times (NYT) in an opinion piece published by the paper.
Remember the dispute that laid bare decisions that took the country to war?
George Entwistle, the BBC Director-General, tried to shake up the journalism culture at the BBC by offering the Corporation's Director of News Helen Boaden a fresh role in radio – but she turned the job down, prior to the outbreak of the crisis over Jimmy Savile, The Independent has been told.

Dyer case sparks minor reform at securities division
Todd Dyer, the Lake Geneva ex-con suspected of running a Ponzi scheme, helped make Wisconsin securities regulators slightly more user friendly.
No, Dyer – who was profiled in the Journal Sentinel on Sunday – didn't intentionally lend a helping hand to the Wisconsin Division of Securities, which first sanctioned him in 1993 and is currently investigating him.
The minor reforms by the division – listing its phone number on its website and fixing its search engine – were completed last week after a Journal Sentinel reporter asked regulators why there was no information about Dyer available to investors on its website.
The information drought exists even though Dyer was convicted of felony fraud in Illinois and in U.S. District Court in Wisconsin; he was sanctioned in 1993 by Georgia regulators; banned five years later from selling securities in Illinois; and in 2011, was again ordered to not sell securities in Illinois, though Dyer is challenging that order. On top of that, Dyer is currently being investigated by the IRS and FBI because they suspect he and others were running a Ponzi scheme that duped investors out of $2.2 million.
But, if you punch his name in the Department of Financial Institution's home page search engine or check its securities division's web page for orders against securities dealers, you'll come up blank. You'll also strike out if you check BrokerCheck, the popular national website maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Even though there is nothing available online, Wisconsin regulators assured us information about unlicensed brokers could be found by calling the Division of Securities. Patricia Struck, division administrator, said sanctions issued by individual states are made available to all state regulators. Wisconsin regulators share that information with callers, she said.
So we checked.
A Journal Sentinel reporter identifying himself as an investor called the division and asked for information about Michael Hendrix, of Homewood, Ill. The division's "examiner of the day," however, said there was no information available about Hendrix. The division staffer failed to mention that in 2010 Illinois regulators banned Hendrix from selling securities in the state and fined him $50,000 for selling unregistered investment contracts.
Struck said she was surprised the office did not provide the caller with information about Hendrix. A check of the database available to regulators would have shown the Illinois order against Hendrix, Struck said.
George Althoff, Department of Financial Institutions spokesman, said the division did fix a couple of problems after questions were raised by the Journal Sentinel.
For example, Struck and Althoff had said investors should call the division to check out the background of an investor. But, until last week, the division website did not post a phone number for people to call. The number to call is now on the page.
Also, the Department of Financial Institution's search form was out of order until last week, when a reporter told officials that there was no way to look up names of securities dealers who had been sanctioned by the state. Althoff said he did not know how many weeks or months the form was down.
Even though the search engine has been fixed, punching in Dyer's name still will not get any results. The archives of orders on the division's website only goes back to 1998 and Dyer was ordered to stop selling unregistered securities in Wisconsin in 1993.

Gizmodo got their hands on some more details of the soon to be released Nexus One Google Phone, while Google itself sent out invitations to a special Jan. 5 event (yes, that is in San Francisco during CES in Vegas).
The two are likely intertwined. Gizmodo got some more information besides the launch date on the new phone:
It will be sold for $529.99 unsubsidized. That is actually less than an iPhone at $199 if you concede that AT&T is paying Apple (and you are subsequently paying them pack) $450 for the iPhone 3GS.
T-Mobile will pick up $350 of the cost if you sign up for a two year plan -- though the transaction will be done through Google. The total subsidized price will be $179.99. That might convince Apple to drop the price of its 16GB iPhone.
There's only one rate plan: $39.99 Even More + Text + Web for $79.99 total. That's just a bit less than most iPhone or Droid contracts. T-Mobile is generally considered to have less robust a network than Verizon and to a lesser extent, AT&T.
Google also makes mention that HTC is the manufacturer of the phone -- and forced the consumer to recognize this in writing, not Google -- probably for liability reasons, or perhaps anti-trust issues with the US government.
Gizmodo also made mention that the phone was positioned for international releases. That's the beauty of an unlocked GSM phone. You can take it anywhere in the world and slip a sim in it and instantly have a localized phone.
It will be interesting to see how this model fares and if people are drawn to the unsubsidized price. If Nokia's lack of success trying this plan is any indication, Google might have their work cut out for them.

Japanese Channels Start to Cut Back on Korean Dramas
According to such Japanese media outlets as Sankei Sports on September 8, the president of BS Nihon TV, a popular satellite channel in the country, announced on September 7 at the company's periodic conference that the channel would cut down on Korean dramas in the future.
BS Nihon TV currently airs four Korean drama episodes a day on weekdays and one episode on Sundays.
An official from the channel said on the matter, "Viewers have been complaining that there are too many Korean dramas. We'll look toward the future and try to find the balance. If you ask us which direction we'll be taking, I believe we will be taking the way that decreases the number of Korean dramas."
The official added, however, that the Korean dramas already scheduled for October won't be taken out.
Anti-Korean sentiments have been spreading in Japan due to Korean stars' Dokdo performances, President Lee Myung Bak's visit to Dokdo and his demand of an apology from the Emperor of Japan. Politicians have even been demanding hallyu boycotts.
Even Fuji TV and NHK, which have always been more favorable channels toward Korean content, have revealed that they are willing to cut back on Korean shows, indicating how it will become harder to see Korean dramas and K-Pop singers in Japan.
BS Nihon TV previously pushed back the airing of A Man Called God, starring Song Il Kook, after the actor participated in a Dokdo project on August 15. Gu Hye Sun's Taiwanese drama, My Perfect Darling, was also postponed due to 'time slot reasons'.

Fraternity Kicked Off Campus After Watermelon and Gangbanger MLK Party
An Arizona State University fraternity has been banned from campus permanently after an offensive Martin Luther King Jr. holiday party caused an uproar among civil rights groups.
Tau Kappa Epsilon was informed on Thursday night that it is no longer a recognized fraternity at ASU. This means that the group can no longer gather on campus and every mention of the group in ASU's promotional material will be removed.
ASU President Michael Crow says the fraternity violated behavioral standards.
"At ASU, students who violate these standards will be subject to disciplinary sanctions in order to promote their own personal development, to protect the university community, and to maintain order and stability on our campuses," he said.
Which standards did the fraternity violate? According to USA Today, "engaging in discriminatory activities, violating alcohol rules, violating the terms of earlier disciplinary sanctions and off-campus conduct that may present a risk or danger" were all violations of the school's code of conduct.
Pictures on social media showed fraternity members dressed in saggy pants, throwing up gang signs, and drinking out of watermelon cups during the MLK themed party.
Fraternity members were already on probation after they assaulted an African-American from a rival fraternity.
Local civil rights leader Rev. Jarrett Maupin says banning the fraternity is a good start, but he still wants the students disciplined and for ASU to create a "more accepting environment" for their students.
"They did the right thing to defend the legacy of Dr. King and to say to the nation and to the state, and everyone who is watching, that there is a zero-tolerance policy for racism and discrimination at Arizona State University," said Maupin.
Civil rights leaders had threatened to boycott the university if they didn't take action against the fraternity.

text: I'm considering the purchase of a crossbow. Strictly for hunting and most hunting done from the ground..spot and stalk. (Just like I hunt with my regular compound bow.) I want a simple and quiet bow. Speed is not an issue. All shots will be taken at 50 yards or less. Is there any advantage to having a compound bow rather then a recurve. Limb width is not an issue. Thanks.


text: imo you could jerry rig about any sheath to be iwb. Buy yourself a jhook and attachet even. I don't think it is really a blade question as far as knives go but more so a how can you. I automatically think of a little 550 cord and a short slip knot around the belt make any fixblade you have iwb. the purchase of a jhook and the simple attachtment to the sheath also seems to be a better idea than going out and buying a whole new knife. Also make sure you know the knife laws where you live. Some people aren't aware they even have knife laws and I wouldn't want you getting in trouble for not knowing them.

Tolles Apartment in günstiger Lage. Man ist schnell an der U-Bahn, kann aber auch ohne Probleme zu Fuß in die City laufen. Moderne Einrichtung, alles bestens in Schuss. Vom großen Balkon hat man einen hervorragenden Blick über die Skyline von Sydney. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen. Auch der Kontakt war absolut unkompliziert und sehr nett!
Das Apartment war toll, der Blick auf die Skyline von Sydney vom Balkon einfach atemberaubend! Die Schlüsselübergabe (Abholung am Empfang eines Hotels) funktionierte unproblematisch.
Das Apartment selbst ist für 4 Erwachsene sehr geräumig und komfortabel, modern und chic eingerichtet, nur die Bäder stammen noch aus einer älteren Ära... müssten mal renoviert werden. Sehr gute Betten, Klimaanlage funktioniert hervorragend. Wir würden wiederkommen!
Es war zauberschön! Das Quartier 88 Dowlingstreet im 4. Stock war phantastisch.
Der Blick über den botanischen Garten zur Skyline und bis hinunter zur Bridge und dem Opernhaus. Die Lage super, zu Fuß in ein paar Minuten im Botanischen Garten, trotzdem ruhig. Auch in der Nähe einige Perlen, wie das Tilburyhotel mit dem versteckten Dachgarten. Fingermans wharf mit den feinen Restaurants..
Zu Fuß auch gleich an der Bahnstation Kingscross über die Butlerstreppe.
Wir fanden das Quartier ideal für eine Familie um Sydney kennenzulernen. Wir waren 2 Wochen da und kein Tag war langweilig. Auch das Museum of NSW, der Park beim Governmentshouse, der Garten überhaupt! Wunderbar!!! Durch den Park war man aber auch gleich zu Fuß in the Rocks, also mitten im Trubel. Die Wohnung selbst gepflegt, geräumig, gut ausgestattet mit Waschmaschine und Trockner, auch die Küche sehr gut. Die Betten super, 2 schöne Schlafzimmer, ein sehr geschmackvolles Wohn-Eßzimmer, 2 Bäder. Herz und müder Urlauber nach dem Ausflug was willst Du mehr!
Everything was phantastic, we loved it! Thank you!!
Fantastic view, Good bed, a little bit shabby but clean, perfect contact,
We had a great stay at his condo before our cruise. It was just as advertised and anything we needed was only a phone call away.
It was very clean when we arrived and the beds are very comfortable.
The condo is in a great location within walking distance to the CBD and Darling Harbour. We will defiantly be staying here again when we come back to Sydney.
Fabulous apartment, very spacious and clean, with a gorgeous view of the bridge and cityscape, lovely little touches by the host made us feel at home, very secure building and parking made all the difference I will definitely be booking this apartment again in the future
Appartment is very good located and has space enough for 4 to 5 people (one bedroom for adults, the other bedroom rather for 2-3 kids). Great is tennis-court and pool on the rooftop with amazing few.
The price was rather high and for this, in our opinion all details shoud be perfect (like dishwashing machine must work correctly, all lights should work, no broken chairs).
Very nice spacious apartment with a fantastic view of Sydney. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay.
We stayed at the apartment in April 2015 (2 adults and 2 children) and found it to be excellent. Great location (handy to transport and also easy to walk into town and around), great facilities, spacious, very comfortable and very clean and tidy. The one negative was dealing with Peter and his office staff. When asking for clarification or assistance, they were very defensive and their general communication was not great. Once they sort that out, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment as a great place to stay.
A perfect apartment with a perfect location.

Custom Handbuilt Wheels
Handbuilt wheels are better!
A well built wheel with more spokes will last longer, ride better and is much easier to maintain and repair than a typical factory wheel. Check the numbers - a wheelset built with Velocity Race hubs, Stan's Alpha 340 rims, Sapim Laser spokes and brass nipples weighs 1443 grams and costs $498. That's lighter than Zipp 404 FCC or Easton EC90 SL at about a quarter the price.
Standard lacing is three cross. Two, one, radial and mixed patterns are available by request.
We use Wheelsmith SpokePrep on spoke threads.
Our wheels are built with care the old fashioned way. Tom has long since lost track of how many wheels he's built, let's just say it's a four digit number.
Quick release skewers and rim strips are included.
The most popular options are shown, many others can be special ordered. Call or email for pricing.

It's a fact of life. People get divorced. In fact, according to the CDC more than three per 1,000 marriages end in divorce. But many women are not prepared for divorce, sending them into a financial tailspin. All of a sudden you go from being in a two-income household to having to live on one income.
It's not that you need to go into marriage planning for divorce, but women need to make wise financial choices, says lifestyle plan strategist Miriam Nicole Huffman, an attorney, relationship finance specialist and creator of the workshop "Why You Need More Than A Mrs."
One major mistake married couples make is not talking about money. "Lack of open communication is the most dangerous mistake made by married couples," says Huffman. According to her, some examples of a lack of communication include:
• Lack of disclosure and knowledge about where the family stands financially.
• Lack of disclosure and knowledge about spouse's income, assets and debts.
• Not being equal partners in the management of the family's finances.
• Failure to disclose the true state of personal income, assets and debts.
• Failure to engage in some type of income producing activity.
Women should be prepared for various financial disasters when married, says Huffman. "You should prepare yourself for the possible loss of income due to your spouse being discharged from employment, unable to work due to disability, going through a divorce, or preceding you in death," she explains. "You should prepare yourself by engaging in some form of income producing activity that will give you a better chance at quickly providing for yourself and/or your family in the event you lose your spouse's income. Furthermore, you should be prepared by knowing what is going on with your family's finances. You should find out this information by any legal means at your disposal."
There are other financial surprises married women should be prepared for as well. "Women should prepare themselves for the effect of separate pre-marital debts of the couple post-marriage. For example, if your spouse has an unpaid child support obligation and you file a joint tax return, your joint tax refund may be used to pay your spouse's debt," Huffman explains.
Money Management Tips For Married Women
• Be In The Loop. You should know the financial state of your household...the bills, savings and insurance info, etc. "Be an active participant in the family's finances-- even if you are not currently producing income," explains Huffman.
• Have a spending and savings plan. "Base your spending strictly off the income of the lower wage earner and your savings off the income of the higher wage earner," advises Huffman.
• Talk money. Don't be afraid to broach the subject with your mate. It is a necessary conversation. "Have regular, honest and open communication about the household's assets and income," says Huffman.

A resourceful firefighter set a tortoise free from a sundial with a blob of Vaseline on Wednesday.
Tommy the tortoise hissed as he struggled to free himself from the pattern of the garden ornament in Garlondes, East Harling, after attempts by his owner were unsuccessful, the Eastern Daily Press reported.
Norfolk Fire Services firefighter Derek Sim accepted the challenge to free the anxious tortoise at around 3pm.
"His foot was well trapped and the sundial was heavy so we used some good old Vaseline.
"I rubbed it on his foot and we tipped the sundial over while the owner held Tommy and we managed to wriggle him out," he told the newspaper.
Mr Sim said Tommy had been "quite distressed" during the rescue, and was taken to the vets by his owner after the ordeal.
He added: "There are a couple of us in the station with more than 20 years experience and neither of us have ever seen anything like that. It was certainly a first for me."Reuse content

Date of Stay: September, 2012
I don't usually post but after staying at this resort, I just had to. This place is fantastic - one of the best I've ever stayed at! Super clean restrooms, free morning newspaper, beautiful location on the river with great landscaping, sites are paved with plenty of room, cute gift store, large pet area and super friendly staff. The gentleman checking us in was very efficient offering great customer service. I've never felt more welcome - will definitely stay again - highly recommend!!
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Fantastic park! Great pet area, super large sites, close to Wal-Mart and restaurants, very friendly and courteous staff. We stayed here a few years ago when had emergency open heart surgery and they were so accommodating - good to see they haven't changed. Large laundry. A little noisy due to highway very close but worth the small amount of noise.

Building Blocks for Planning Functional Library Space
3rd Edition
American Library Association
As in the second edition of
Building Blocks for Planning Functional Library Space
, this volume outlines the measures of space needed for the use of equipment and furniture within a library setting. It provides drawings of typical library furniture and equipment along with diagrams of the space required for their use. In addition, this volume also contains a brief text that provides an overview of the planning process, as well as details on several aspects of design and planning.
With this expanded and revised edition, planners of new, renovated, or existing space will be better able to effectively utilize the space they have and to resist the temptation to overload a given space with too many functions. This third edition significantly expands the number of illustrations found in the previous edition, adding information on newer library technology and amenities. Photographs of furniture and equipment in library settings further enhance the user's understanding of applicable square footage needs. Designed to be consulted after the decision to build has been made, this volume answers the critical question, "How much space do we need?".

This third edition updates a practical handbook for planning new, renovated, or existing library areas. Brief introductory text outlines the planning process, goals, program, and data sheets. The numerous photos, drawings, and other illustrations, which are the strength of this title, provide a hands-on way for nonarchitects to visualize space and to share their needs with professional designers. Specific dimensions and suggestions are given for collection, reading and study and public areas, and equipment and offices. Scale drawings suitable for copying allow a user to try out floor plans with shelving, computer tables, and more. This title can't be beat for experimenting on paper.
The title of this book gives the reader a clue as to how to use it. The introduction explains that the book will be useful to people with any involvement in library space planning. The diagrams and drawings and measurements can be helpful for new or existing spaces. The book seems to flow in modules or blocks of information. The authors explain the planning process asking to identify goals and options. Advice is given if working with a planner. Planning documents are explained. The names of the documents and where in the process they will be helpful and needed are provided as well. There are helpful explanations on how to use the diagrams to plan library space. The majority of the pages in this book are devoted to illustrations. There are plans with measurements and a three-dimensional view with notes as needed, and sometimes a photograph of an existing space for an example. The emphasis is on the usability and function of spaces in libraries. Technology is changing how space is used in libraries. Reminding the reader to discuss the placement of electrical outlets for patrons with laptops in a wireless environment and the issue of flat screens and furniture choices are important details that are sometimes overlooked in the larger picture. A helpful annotated bibliography of materials on the topic of library space planning and design is included. The book might be improved if it were spiral bound with pockets for notes, used as a working guidebook throughout a project.
Building Blocks for Planning Functional Library Space
would be a helpful tool aiding librarians and staff to make smart choices and wise decisions when planning a modern library.

Ardath Mayhar passes away
She had mobility problems in old age, and she was taken to FenCon by Joe Lansdale, who she called an "adopted grandson". We had a nice conversation. I remember she was especially impressed that I wrote on the side and worked full-time as a journalist. She said it was smart to have an "eating job".
When I learned that she was receiving the SFWA Author Emeritus Award in 2008, I called her and conducted an interview. I was proud for her, as a representative of East Texas, and I published the interview in my newspaper, the Mount Pleasant Daily Tribune. It was also published in her hometown paper, the Nacogdoches Sentinel.
When I saw her in April 2008, I noticed she seemed to be weaker than when I saw her in 2004. She passed away at 81.
Here is the text of her obituary from the Nacogdoches Sentinel"
Ardath Frances (Hurst) Mayhar died Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012, in Nacogdoches, Texas. She was 81. Born Feb. 20, 1930, to Bert Hurst and Ardath Ellington, in Timpson, Texas, Ardath Mayhar is the author of more than 60 books ranging from science fiction, fantasy, horror and young adult to historical and westerns, with some work under the pseudonyms Frank Cannon, Frances Hurst and John Killdeer. She began her writing career as a poet when she was 19 and began publishing science fiction in 1979 after returning with her family to Texas from Oregon. She was nominated for the Mark Twain Readers Award, won the Balrog Award, was nominated for awards in almost every fiction genre, and won many awards for poetry. In 2008, she was chosen by the Science Fiction Writers of America as their author emeritus. Mayhar also owned and operated The View from Orbit Bookstore in Nacogdoches with her husband, Joe, until his death in 1999, after which she sold the store. Mayhar taught writing through the Writer's Digest school, provided book doctoring, and mentored numerous young authors. Until her health declined, Mayhar's reputation was such that she spoke regularly in the area, drawing large crowds to listen to her wit and wisdom. She is survived by two sons, James Mayhar and Frank Mayhar; two stepsons, Robert Mayhar and William Mayhar; grandchildren, Kai Mayhar, and Brad Mayhar; sister, Judy Corley; and brother, Joe Bert Hurst. A memorial service will be held later, with details pending at this time. Online condolences and memories may be offered at www.casonmonk-metcalf.com. Cason Monk-Metcalf Funeral Directors.

I first met Ardath in November 2011, when I went and assessed her for admission to our Hospice service. She was very impressive to me as well, and I instantly fell in love with her. She was not appropriate then for hospice, but i assured her that I wanted her as my patient. She was an amazing woman, and I feel so blessed to have known her. We did admit to our service in January, and everyone that offered her care was impressed with her sharp mined. She was a joy, and I will always call myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to have her in my life.ReplyDelete

"It's possible that you haven't run into the stories of Lou Antonelli. Since 2003, he's been publishing delightful short tales of alternate history all over the nooks and crannies of the SF world. Thanks to Fantastic Books, we now have 28 of these little gems in one place. "Many of Antonelli's stories have an unexpected twist ending. And many of them are what he calls "secret history" stories, which aren't exactly alternate history—they're set in our familiar history, but there's always some element that contemporary observers missed. " -
- Don Sakers, The Reference Library, Analog July-Aug. 2014
A better path develops for a distraught man in "Double Exposure" by Lou Antonelli (debut 6/11 and reviewed by Frank D). Jake is about to end it all. He has been trying to keep his high maintenance wife happy for decades and has needed to embezzle to satisfy her spending habits. Now, on the verge of indictment and abandoned by his spouse, he buys a gun. Before he pulls the trigger, he spies a Kodak one-day photo hut. Curious, he pulls up to the window. They are holding pictures of him and his last girlfriend from 30 years before. The package is a lot thicker than it should be. Double Exposure" is listed as an Alternative History story but I would classify it as a Magical Realism tale. It is set as a second chance tale, a look into a life that should have been. The author is inspired by his memories of the old photo huts (I remember them) and of their disappearance. A cool idea (photos of another life), one that I could imagine would make for a great anthology.
- Frank Dutkiewicz, Diabolical Plots
"Great White Ship": A traveler stuck waiting for a flight strikes up a conversation with an old airline employee. The Old Timer tells him a story of a Great White Airship that arrives from a most unusual destination. The story of a craft from an alternate reality and how it got there is only the precursor to the final act. This is one of my favorite stories from this site. I have a great passion for lighter-than-air craft and their potential as a future means of transport, which opens the story. The author uses this speculation to launch into an engaging tale. As fascinating as the main story line is, the alternate history premise that accompanies it is just as worthwhile. This story was well written and very well thought out. It is well worth the read. Recommended.

st: WG: xtreg command and two-way fixed o random effect model
Sun, 9 May 2010 13:38:06 +0200
Dear all,
I am working with a balanced panel data set and want to analyze the group
and time effects.
Is there any possibility to use the xtreg command in combination with a
two-way fixed or/and random effect model ? Maybe at a more updated Stata
Version ? I am currently working with the Stata 8.0 version?..
Background to my question:
At the moment I apply the following regression model and would like to cross
check these results with the ones obtained from the fixed effect model. (As
is it possible in the case of a one-way model)

TYRANNOSAURUS MATH!He's a number-crunching dinosaur who chews on math problems as easily as he thunders through the trees. When his little sister is in terrible danger, T-Math even saves the day by using his measurable math skills. Is there anything he can't figure?
Markel's engaging story has just the right blend of math concepts, dinosaur info, and silly humor, and Cushman's textured acrylics reinforce the math and add to the amusement factor. A final page describes the different math skills applied throughout the book.—The Horn Book Review

TYRANNOSAURUS MATH, a close relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, lived in the late Cretaceous Period, 65 to 68 million years ago, in Western North America. He and his siblings were eleven to fourteen feet tall, weighed five to seven tons, had two-and-a-half foot long arms, two-and-a-half foot long feet, and teeth that were ten inches long!MICHELLE MARKEL, the author of five children's books, has also written for national newspapers and taught in elementary schools. Tyrannosaurus Math grew out of an experience in the classroom: "One day I was teaching math to second graders. Knowing how kids loathe word problems, I invented some of my own, using dinosaurs. The kids loved them." The rest is prehistory. Michelle lives near Los Angeles. DOUG CUSHMAN, a Northern Californian now living in Paris, has written and/or illustrated more than one hundred children's books. In high school, Doug created comic books lampooning his teachers, and he sold them to classmates for five cents a piece.

The much loved granddaughter personalized Christmas ornament celebrates that bond that extends beyond the kitchen. The hand mixer, gingerbread cookies and cute details on these grandparents ornaments are made more special with a name on the rolling pin and a year below, if you�d like one there. A substitute for the year could be �xoxo� for example. The much loved granddaughter ornament personalized to make it a lasting memento is a beautiful gift to commemorate that special relationship.


text: Kudos to the ACLU for this[ new video](http://www.aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights-racial-justice/would-you-ask-...) exposing the racist underpinnings driving Arizona's SB 1070 law, portions of which were [temporarily halted](http://colorlines.com/archives/2010/07/breaking_arizona_judge_blocks_por...) today by a federal judge. The two-minute video shows an older brown man doing yardwork in Arizona. He's done this kind of work for 15 years, he tells us, but SB 1070 makes him afraid that because of the color of his skin and his work, he'll be asked to prove his citizenship status. The catch? The brown man is the president of the board of directors for the ACLU in Arizona, Roberto Reveles. That's probably his own yard he's cleaning. But the message is clear. Unless SB1070 is dismissed by the federal courts, anyone who's brown remains vulnerable.

Hi Folks
Newbie to the forum and need a little help.
I have had a search on the other Inpa links but can't find a definitve answer in how to fix.
I have Inpa (D-Can Usb version) installed on my laptop.
All runs fine lead works fine but the engine section in diagnostics brings up fault codes in German along with a few other sections but the bulk of it is in english??. Language from what I can see if set to english.
Got a friend to install for me as I'm not great with computers but he's away on business and not back for a few weeks so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can give someone access via teamviewer to view if need be or if someone can help with the re-install with a fully working version in english as it might be mines that on the blink.

Adorable quilt!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Adorable quilt!
A dog is not "almost human" and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such.
Someone PM me asking to see a closeup. I went and deleted the PM by mistake so adding one here
Thanks everyone for all the kind words
Looks beautiful!
