Technology Details: ASUSTOR AS-604T NAS Server
The ASUSTOR AS-604T uses one of the most powerful Intel Atom Dual-Core CPUs based on 32nm fabrication technology, the D2700. Introduced in Q3 of 2011, the D2700 operates at the highest available clock frequency of the Atom family of CPUs, 2.13 GHz. It's a dual core unit, and it supports Hyper-Threading on its two physical cores. Observing the CPU usage chart during operations, I saw all four (virtual) cores being used concurrently, so the Linux-based operating system has no problems taking advantage of multiple cores and processing threads. The integrated graphics controller runs at the faster clock speed of 640 MHz, which normally wouldn't be important for a NAS, but the ASUSTOR family of NAS models allows direct streaming of HD video, so the increased performance does come in handy. Lastly, the 1MB Intel Smart Cache and the integrated memory controller that supports DDR3-1066 DRAM are both performance enhancing features that are at the forefront of what's available in low power computing these days. While the D2700 is going EOL in September of this year, there is plenty of stock available to keep making ASUSTOR NAS towers for a while.
The biggest chip on the board is actually not the CPU; it's the SATA interface/ RAID controller chip. Intel's ICH10R is perhaps one of the most widely used RAID controllers in x86 PCs, just because it was attached as the Southbridge to several generations of high-end Intel CPUs since it debuted in 2008. Short of doing a full blown custom ASIC, it's hard to beat the performance of this mainstream solution, which was developed back when the most common way of increasing disk throughput was to RAID several HDDs together. Today's Southbridges (err…. Platform Hub Controllers) are rightly judged more by their ability to squeeze the utmost performance out of the latest SSDs, but the ICH10R served admirably during the transition period between high speed spindles and flash memory. ASUSTOR took the unusual approach of not using the SATA ports on the ICH10R to interface with the HDDs in the drive bays, instead using them only for the eSATA connections on the back panel. The 4x hard drives in the front of the NAS are managed by Marvell 6Gb/s controllers that are connected to the ICH10R by PCI Express lanes. I suspect they did it this way, in order to have a consistent architecture that was scalable to larger units, with more drive bays. Plus, there's the side benefit of the 6Gb/s interface that isn't available from the ICH10R. Not that you'll notice any difference with mechanical hard drives….
Besides the CPU and ICH chips, the two most important bits of silicon on any NAS have to be the NICs and the SATA controllers. Those are the two endpoints for the entire device, and everything has to pass through one or both of them. The two Gigabit Ethernet controllers are supplied by Broadcom and they incorporate both Media Access Control (MAC) and a Physical Layer (PHY) port. Each BCM57781 chip supports one Ethernet jack on the rear panel, and connects to the rest of the system by an x1 PCIe Rev. 1.1 interface. Broadcom is one of the premier suppliers of NICs and switching products to the enterprise market, so it's no surprise that ASUSTOR picked them for their brand new NAS line. I'll share some network throughput graphs later that will show just how good these NICs are.
Marvell supplies the SATA 6Gb/s Host Controllers, two 88SE9125 ICs that each support two 6 Gb/s SATA interface ports and a one-lane 5.0 Gb/s PCIe host interface back to the motherboard. There is a whole family of parts in this series, and this one is optimized for use with a central RAID controller on the system board. In this case the ICH10R provides both the logic behind the RAID functions and the PCI Express lanes that connect to the Marvell SATA controllers.
The ASUSTOR AS-604T is unusual in its support for a dedicated HDMI display output that is driven entirely by the NAS. Intel recently released a new 64-bit driver for multimedia support, and only a few vendors have followed up with software that allows direct connection from the NAS to a HDTV. It's a real bonus for supporting streaming video and other multimedia, if you decide to use your NAS for content delivery in addition to basic storage. In order to do that, some extra chips are needed that you typically don't see deployed on a NAS. The Chrontel CH7318C is a high speed HDMI level shifter that converts low-swing AC coupled differential input to an HDMI 1.3 compliant output. The Intel Atom D2700 has an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3650 integrated on it that can handle dual displays, but still needs the extra chip to handle HDMI. One other welcome addition to this NAS is USB 3.0. Renesas Electronics (nee NEC) provides their ubiquitous D720200 chip for USB 3.0 duties. I can't remember the last time I saw any other chip being used for this function.
1GB of DDR3-1333 memory is supplied as standard on the ASUSTOR AS-604T; it's carried on the SO-DIMM form factor and is addressed by the CPU in Single-Channel mode. The Atom D2700 CPU can support up to 4 GB of DRAM, and with the 1GB DIMM already installed in Slot zero, the AS-604T is currently limited to running a total of 3GB of memory. If you void the warranty by breaking into the chassis and replacing the supplied DRAM with a 2GB part, I'm not sure whether the system BIOS will support the rogue upgrade or not. The single SO-DIMM in my sample was supplied by ADATA and is rated for DDR3-1333 with timings of 9-9-9 for CL-tRCD-tRP. The CPU is limited to 1066 DRAM speeds, so the DDR3-1333 modules are operating well within their limits.
Last, but not least is the Flash memory implemented as a Disk-On-Module (DOM) device, which is 512 M of SLC-based NAND sourced from local Taiwanese manufacturer ADATA. Serving up a Linux-based operating system to an Atom CPU is the dog's life for a flash memory chip; this module never breaks a sweat.
To measure isolated NAS power consumption, Benchmark Reviews uses the Kill-A-Watt EZ (model P4460) power meter made by P3 International. Obviously, power consumption is going to depend heavily on the number and type of drives that are installed. The power draw also depends on the fan speed that's required to keep the drives cool. When the ASUSTOR AS-604T first booted up with one WD 750 Black HDD installed, it idled at 25W. Read operations pulled only a few watts more – 29W, and Writes took an even 30W, with one disk. With all four drives installed, spinning up the platters drew 110W for about a second, and then it settled down to 44W at idle. The AS-604T drew 48W during Read operations with the full complement of disks installed; Writes drew 51W. When the ½ hour timer kicked in and the drives were powered down, the power consumption went down to 26W. In full Sleep mode it went all the way down to a measured 1W. I say "measured" because the P4460 power meter isn't accurate down at the 1-2W level. So the best I can say is that the 1.4W claim that ASUSTOR makes for sleep mode power consumption is certainly within reason.
We've seen the ins and outs of the hardware, and the technology under the hood; now let's take a quick look through the list of features that you get with the ASUSTOR AS-604T. The next couple of sections are kind of long, but it's critical to understand what features you get with these units, and what you don't. It's not just a box full of drives; it's capable of much more than that.

In our contact form, we received a request for advice about the May 21, 2011 doomsday scenario promulgated by Harold Camping and his followers at Family Radio. The young lady is frightened about the prediction.
Our advice is this: The sun will rise on May 22 and nothing will happen. Camping has had a series of failed prophecies. So-called end times prophets come and go, and none of their prophecies are valid. Your mother might need your love and support after May 21 when Camping's followers need to regroup and reassess what they believe, so stay strong. You have nothing to fear and have every right to not believe Mr.Camping and to find your own truth. In being discerning, you are setting a good example for your child.
Here is the unedited post with the name omitted for privacy — please give her your advice and support.
i am 24 years old. my mother has been listening to harold camping since i was 10. i dont know much about the bible. all i know is that it scares me. i wanted to know how can i deal with the fact that i dont believe this man? i believe he is instilling fear into everyone. i am still trying to figure out what i believe and im trying to raise my child in the right way. please if you have any insight it will help me greatly.

My dog bites
My dog bites people on the leg or shoes when my friends come in my house or walk past my dog.He is a Chihuahua mix.Also when my friend brings his 2 dogs over,he has a terrier mix and a lab.My dog does nothing to the terrier but he always tried to nip and bite at the lab.I already know why.Is there anyway that I can make him stop biting other people and just warn me with a bark when strangers or friends come in?

Funny, because I am on here searching for answers to y my foster dog is biting and he looks IDENTICAL to yours! I do know about the bitter apple spray when they bite, but you have to predict when you think that will happen and be ready, also, when they exhibit aggressive behavior to put them into the crate for a time out. When ours bites , i hold his muzzle closed tightly and tell him NO firmly, and if we are at home I put him into the crate. It doesnt seem to be working so far, so I am going to give the bitter apple spray a try. If I have any luck with anything I ll let you know! Please do the same, as I would really like to find this little guy a good home when he is rehabilitated and not have him end up back at the pound or euthanized .
Pretty tricky , many methods out there, and like us, no 2 dogs are the same :)
good luck!

My puppy bites all of the time, I just started squirting lemon juice into his mouth when he bites and already I see a huge improvement, his teeth haven't touched my hand since the 3rd squirt of lemon juice. I have a plastic lemon from the grocery store that has a squirt top and I carry it around when he usually bites (playtime, picking him up. ect.) and while he's biting I squirt it into his mouth and tell him "No biting" firmly. He's already made the connection that "No biting" or "Dont bite" means lemon juice.

About MeI am very comfortable in my skin. I am easy to work with, and have an open mind. I enjoy being photographed, and like working with new people. As for the type of work I am open to, I am experienced with (tasteful)nude modeling. I am a mother, and would not do anything I would be ashamed of later in life, when/if my children came across my work. I would really like to work on getting a pin up spread done, but don't really have the skill to do the hair styles. I signed up with Model Mayhem to broaden my horizons and hopefully get in contact with some really great artists. I would love to hear what projects you've got going & see what we can culminate.

Robur the Conqueror HTML version
Chapter 13. Over The Caspian
The Engineer had no intention of taking his ship over the wondrous lands of
Hindustan. To cross the Himalayas was to show how admirable was the machine
he commanded; to convince those who would not be convinced was all he
wished to do.
But if in their hearts Uncle Prudent and his colleague could not help admiring so
perfect an engine of aerial locomotion, they allowed none of their admiration to
be visible. All they thought of was how to escape. They did not even admire the
superb spectacle that lay beneath them as the "Albatross" flew along the river
banks of the Punjab.
At the base of the Himalayas there runs a marshy belt of country, the home of
malarious vapors, the Terai, in which fever is endemic. But this offered no
obstacle to the "Albatross," or, in any way, affected the health of her crew. She
kept on without undue haste towards the angle where India joins on to China and
Turkestan, and on the 29th of June, in the early hours of the morning, there
opened to view the incomparable valley of Cashmere.
Yes! Incomparable is this gorge between the major and the minor Himalayas--
furrowed by the buttresses in which the mighty range dies out in the basin of the
Hydaspes, and watered by the capricious windings of the river which saw the
struggle between the armies of Porus and Alexander, when India and Greece
contended for Central Asia. The Hydaspes is still there, although the two towns
founded by the Macedonian in remembrance of his victory have long since
During the morning the aeronef was over Serinuggur, which is better known
under the name of Cashmere. Uncle Prudent and his companion beheld the
superb city clustered along both banks of the river; its wooden bridges stretching
across like threads, its villas and their balconies standing out in bold outline, its
hills shaded by tall poplars, its roofs grassed over and looking like molehills; its
numerous canals, with boats like nut-shells, and boatmen like ants; its palaces,
temples, kiosks, mosques, and bungalows on the outskirts; and its old citadel of
Hari-Pawata on the slope of the hill like the most important of the forts of Paris on
the slope of Mont Valerien.
"That would be Venice," said Phil Evans, "if we were in Europe."
"And if we, were in Europe," answered Uncle Prudent, "we should know how to
find the way to America."
The "Albatross" did not linger over the lake through which the river flows, but
continued her flight down the valley of the Hydaspes.
For half an hour only did she descend to within thirty feet of the river and
remained stationary. Then, by means of an india-rubber pipe, Tom Turner and
his men replenished their water supply, which was drawn up by a pump worked
by the accumulators. Uncle Prudent and Phil Evans stood watching the
operation. The same idea occurred to each of them. They were only a few feet
from the surface of the stream. They were both good swimmers. A plunge would
give them their liberty; and once they had reached the river, how could Robur get

Dear Colleague,
Yesterday the Senate passed an amendment by Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) by an overwhelming bipartisan 62-33 majority calling for an accelerated end to the war in Afghanistan. I invite you to read this AP article analyzing this groundbreaking vote.
The momentum to end the war and bring our troops home is building, but there are still those working to prolong the war. With the Pentagon due to present alternate long-term option on Afghanistan to the President in the coming weeks, it is critical that Congress catch up with the American people who have long realized that there is no military solution in Afghanistan.
We invite you to become a co-signer to the letter below to President Obama, calling for an accelerated end to the war in Afghanistan. The overwhelming majority of Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike, believe it is time to bring a responsible end to the war in Afghanistan.
To join as a co-signer, please contact Teddy Miller in Rep. Lee's office at 5-2661 or @mail.house.gov.
Thank you,

The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Obama:
Your military advisors will soon be providing you with a set of military options in Afghanistan. We are writing to urge you to pursue a strategy in Afghanistan that best serves the interests of the American people and our brave troops on the ground. That strategy is simple: an accelerated withdrawal to bring to an end the decade-long war as soon as can safely and responsibly be accomplished.
After 10 years and almost $600 billion spent, over 2,000 American lives lost, and 18,000 wounded - it is time to accelerate the transition to full Afghan control. While NATO and Afghan National Security Forces have made considerable strides, no military strategy exists and morale has been undermined by the proliferation of "Green on Blue" attacks. Sixty coalition soldiers have been killed this year alone by their Afghan allies. To quote a former Commandant of the Marine Corps, "When our friends turn out to be our enemy, it is time to pull the plug."
This is one issue that overwhelmingly unifies Americans: the desire to bring the war in Afghanistan to an accelerated close. Polls show over two-thirds of Americans, on a bipartisan basis, believe it is past time to end our combat role and bring the troops home.
We write to request that you respond to the consensus amongst military experts, diplomats, and the American people. It is time to announce an accelerated transition of security responsibility to the Afghan government and to bring our troops home as soon as can be safely and responsibly accomplished.
Al Qaeda's presence has been greatly diminished and Osama bin Laden is no longer a threat to the United States. There can be no military solution in Afghanistan. It is past time for the United States to allow the Afghanistan government to assume responsibility for its own security.
While many of us would prefer an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan starting today, there is broad recognition that the primary objectives have been completed. We also would like to remind you that any long term security agreement committing U.S. troops to the defense of Afghanistan must have congressional approval to be binding. In addition, we would like to request a meeting to discuss these issues directly with you and your staff.
We look forward to working with you.

Many centres are bracing for a spike in summer holiday burglaries but Tauranga police say local burglars usually target homes during winter.
Tauranga police Inspector Karl Wright-St Clair said police were not expecting a spike in summer burglaries.
"We have spikes at other times of the year. Seasonally, our spike is usually around July because it gets dark early."
There were 150 burglaries reported in Western Bay of Plenty in October, just up on 144 for the same time last year.
"The fact that it's lighter and there are more people coming into the area, we have more capable guardians out there who keep an eye out for suspicious things, which is what we want people to do," Mr Wright-St Clair said.
Nationally, more than 57,000 burglaries were committed during the last financial year of which fewer than 9000 were resolved by police.
On Saturday, thieves forced their way into a Waihi Beach home where they stole two Christmas presents.
National prevention manager Superintendent Bruce Bird said with many people about to head away on Christmas holidays, now was the time to protect your property.
"Keeping your home and your possessions safe can make all the difference between being a victim of a burglary or not."
Mr Bird said a burglar would take any opportunity to get into your home - so it was best not to present them with a chance.
Some burglars were opportunistic and saw an unsecured window or gate and took a chance, but many offenders were put off by houses which looked secure and lived in.
For those heading away for the holidays, getting a neighbour or a friend to turn a light on at night and clear your letterbox would help make the home look occupied, Mr Bird said.
People with newspaper subscriptions should cancel them for the duration of their trip.
"If a burglar thinks you're at home they are less likely to attempt a break-in."
Getting to know your neighbours better, installing a burglar alarm and even placing a "Beware of the dog" sign on your property could also deter burglars.
Don't leave keys hidden in the garden either, as burglars know all the places to look, Mr Bird said.
Recording the serial numbers of expensive items on the police community partnership website, Operation SNAP, also discouraged criminals from taking your property and meant a better chance of catching criminals if they handled or on-sold identifiable goods.
"If you see an unusual vehicle in your street or you see anyone acting suspiciously, don't hesitate to call police," Mr Bird said.
"You could be the difference between your neighbours becoming the victim of a burglary or not."
University of Canterbury criminologist Professor Greg Newbold said a surge in summer crime should be expected between Christmas and New Year.
There tended to be a spike in burglaries as people left their homes to go away.
"There's always a rise in property crime in holiday areas such as motor camps, where expensive equipment such as boats, dive gear and fishing gear can be left lying around tent sites," he said.

Dan and Dave Buck are twins, magicians, and entrepreneurs who recently parlayed their way into the world of fashion. The LA based brothers have just launched a t-shirt line after years of building a magic-based empire that includes a successful ecommerce site, a popular annual magician's conference, and now magic-inspired fashions.
In the days prior to their late April t-shirt launch, we were able to connect with Dan Buck to learn more about what drives he and his brother in their business endeavors… and how Envelopes.com has added a little magic to their efforts as well.
Q: How did you go from magic to a clothing line? Is there any fashion in your background?
DB: Magic has always been an avenue to explore our creativity. From the start, we were never really inspired by other magicians, but rather music videos, architecture and fashion, or simply design. In this way, we developed a unique style and eventually helped spawn an entirely new art form, Cardistry. Our passion for magic continued and eventually evolved into a business. However, our company is no different than our magic and we're always envisioning new products that will push the art forward.
We have no formal training as fashion designers; however, we have always appreciated good design and know exactly what we like. Our inspiration comes from design and can be seen through our card flourishes.
We avoid tradition and take risks. It keeps it interesting and fresh. This approach is applied to most of what we do – and we're interested in many things.
Q: Who is actually designing the clothing?
DB: Well, it starts with an idea and then one of us will sketch out the concept. However, since neither of us can draw, we'll search for the right artist. We then act as the art director. For now, it's just printed work. In the future though, we'd love to design a line from the ground up.
Q: Can you tell us about the style you're evoking with your line?
DB: We're very casual guys and enjoy being comfortable. A t-shirt and jeans with sandals is our daily attire. For now, our shirts will have this casual quality to them. The designs won't be lavish and are certainly not for making a statement. However, because they're designed with our market in mind, they will hint upon magic's rich and visual culture.
Q: Who do you envision wearing your clothes?
DB: Our line will definitely attract magicians. However, anyone with an interest in the visual culture and magic and playing cards will appreciate the designs. We can also see poker players wearing some of playing card themed shirts.
Q: What do you find most exciting about starting your own clothing line? What inspired you?
DB: It's always exciting to explore uncharted territory. We've never done anything like this before and can't wait to see how it turns out. If anything, we have a bunch of shirts we love and will wear, but obviously we hope they sell.
We've always been interested in fashion and have wanted a clothing line for a long time now. Yeah, they're just shirts, but our magic business started with a simple manuscript so we know if we keep at it, something great might come.
Q: Is 52 Leagues the name of the new clothing line? What does it represent?
DB: 52 Leagues is the name of a particular shirt design. The title was inspired by the Jules Verne classic with the spade and "52" contributing to our obsession for playing cards.
Q: As brothers, how has it been working together?
DB: We honestly don't know any differently. We've always been side-by-side in all our endeavors and pretty much share all the same interests and have the same taste. Of course we have arguments and disagree on the small things, but in the end, we always settle on the best possible solution for us. We know what we like, and even though sometimes it's a battle getting there, we always do. The biggest advantage we have as twins is the ability for our minds to cognitively collaborate. It sounds like science fiction, but it's true. We just know, whether it's a disagreement or triumph, what each of us is thinking.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your experience with Envelopes.com?
DB: We often receive requests for autographed playing cards. This is a service we enjoy offering and even went as far as printing a bunch of custom autograph cards a few years ago. We pay attention to detail in everything we do and found Envelopes.com as a great source for small envelops and cards we can nicely package the autograph in. Depending on the season, we change up the color.
When brainstorming ideas for packaging our new clothing line, we knew we wanted to do something different but also not cumbersome that could possibly increase shipping charges. We noticed the custom printing service offered by Envelopes.com and knew it would be a great idea. Not only would our shirts pack small and stay clean, it would complement the content inside and just add to the overall experience.
Q: What is your favorite project with us to date?
DB: Our favorite project with Envelopes.com is definitely the envelopes we had printed for our t-shirts. We didn't know how it would work at first, but once we received the sample, we knew we scored. It looks great!
Q: Is there anything else you want people to know about any of your business endeavors?
DB: Our primary endeavor is to have fun doing what we love. Our company, Dan and Dave Industries, is really a playground for the two of us. We do what we want! We love working though and are proud to be recognized as a leader in the industry. Our website, www.dananddave.com curates over three hundred of the finest Books, DVDs, and On Demand training videos available, many of which we produced. If you are interested in learning magic, this is the place! We also organize Magic-Con, an annual conference for magicians held in California. The event brings together the greatest magicians in the world for a fun weekend of talks, lectures and performances.

Replicable AIDS cure still evades scientists
Prevention is key
I heard Timothy Ray Brown, the first person in the world cured of HIV, speak at Seattle University recently. Researchers are working hard to make a wide-reaching cure possible. ["Pioneer patient: 'I don't want to be the only person cured of HIV,' " page one, June 18.]
We don't know how long this will take. I want to make sure the message the community is hearing is that we can end this disease today while waiting for a replicable cure tomorrow.
We need to prevent those living with HIV and AIDS from transmitting it to others. Discrimination, homophobia and stigma prevent people from getting tested and seeking treatment.
Complex socioeconomic factors, such as poverty fuel transmission make access to health care a major challenge. The words "HIV" and "AIDS" are still whispered, in the same way cancer was 30 years ago.
We can all play a role in the beginning of the end. Invest in prevention programs. Get tested. Help get people living with HIV on treatment. Talk about HIV and AIDS as you would any other chronic condition, such as cancer or diabetes, and help eliminate stigma.
Keep HIV in the public eye. To the more than 7,000 people living with HIV and AIDS in King County, this disease is far from over.
Randall Russell, CEO, Lifelong AIDS Alliance, Seattle

Have trouble with climbing animals? Then we suggest you install porcupine wire on ledges etc. to prevent animals from climbing.
Look carefully and you will see stainless steel wire attached to the eave by the downspout (broken) and also on the ledge below at the bottom of the photo. This wire was installed to prevent future raccoons from climbing this man's house.
The spikes work like barbed wire fencing. You want to align them so that an animal is unable to jump over them to a location free of the spikes. For example, to prevent raccoons or squirrels from climbing the corner of your house, we recommend three horizontal rows of 1 foot long strips that are placed so that the spine tips are at least 1-2 inches apart. This positioning would be very difficult for a climbing squirrel or raccoon to climb or jump over.
Spikes must be installed at least 7 feet off the ground and away from where anyone may come into contact with it. Porcupine wire is VERY sharp. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury.
Never use the product to stop climbing on animals that are already using your property. Consult with a professional before instituting this technique. To learn how to hire a qualified animal damage controller click HERE
Before installation, observe all safety requirements such as but not limited to, avoiding powerlines, installing wire at least 7 feet above the ground so people can't reach it and get hurt, etc.
Use the porcupine before you have a problem with a climbing animal.
Use at least two horizontal rows spaced three inches apart at each corner. We recommend using two feet per corner of your house.
Downspout installation:
You can install them vertically and use wire to attach to a downspout. I would think that you would have to use at least one screw to prevent the wire from sliding down. I would also use at least three wire ties per four inch strip.
I would suggest aluminum ties to reduce rusting. I think 8 inch long strips should be sufficient lengthn. Three of them per downspout should work. Make sure the raccoons aren't living in your house when you install. Otherwise the consequences could be severe. This also applies to situations where raccoons are using your home to get to their den. As for electricity, I can't comment. I would talk to an electrician. Adhesive will give instructions on use. I believe it has to be at least 50 degrees out.
Make sure the climbing animal can't find another way to climb the building, eg. trees, wires etc.
Plastic Gutters:
You may have to use the adhesive to secure the wire to the gutter line. Of course, ice and leaf issues may be an issue as the spines may obstruct and/or capture more of those items.
I would suggest gluing it. Place your anchors first, glue them in place using outdoor adhesive. Your hardware store will tell you what will last and look best for your color house. Let the anchors set. Then place the porcupine wire into the anchors. This is key, make sure you place the anchors in such a way that you can actually place the wire in the anchors after they are glued down.
You can purchase this product by the linear foot (which includes fasteners) plus shipping. We can't give you shipping prices at this time because it depends on how long you want the strips to remain. The cost is much less if we can ship them in two foot rather than four foot lengths. Make sure you tell us what surface you plan to be attaching the porcupine wire to. It will help us to include the correct hardware. We prefer to ship via UPS rather than USPS.
Downloadable Instructions: If you are using the porcupine wire for a bird job or a more complicated mammal repellent job, you may want to take the time to download the four page instruction guide. It is a large file and doesn't cover everything, but it can be a benefit.

When it comes to Hollywood studios, it's fair to say that Disney attracts more than its fair share of sulky schadenfreude. During the 90s and early 2000s, the name alone became synonymous with a sort of plasticky "all-American" fakeness, and even to this day, a news story about Disney losing money on a major film project makes for major headlines. Weirdly, "Universal loses $200m" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Some pretty decent movies – such as last year's John Carter – have perhaps suffered for their association with the Disney brand, and even genuine non-events such as this month's The Lone Ranger are probably given an extra kicking or two because they were made by the "mouse house". Disney doesn't help itself when headlines emerge about its attempts to glam up much-loved Pixar characters such as Brave's singularly tomboyish Princess Merida, to make them fit the more traditional (for which read icky and cheap) image of a "Disney princess".
But while the perception of the studio is only changing slowly, the reality does seem to be rather different. Perhaps Disney suffered a crucial crisis of confidence when it was forced to buy out Pixar a few years back and install the Toy Story production company's John Lasseter as head of its animation studio. Perhaps tastes have simply changed and Disney has been forced to change with them, but there's an increasing complexity to the studio's fantasy fare that is worth welcoming.
Take today's announcement of the synopsis for Angelina Jolie's Maleficent, due out next year. You thought the character was the "queen of all evil" from the original animation, a wicked witch who curses Sleeping Beauty to prick her finger on a spindle and die (subsequently transmuted by a kind fairy godmother to eternal sleep) after she is turned away from a royal christening? Think again …
Maleficent is the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain, from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal – an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realises that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom – and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.
The change to the origins story, which has its basis in Charles Perrault's 17th-century French fairytale (which was later borrowed by the Brothers Grimm), might of course be influenced by Jolie taking the role. Perhaps the world's most famous female actor simply did not want to portray an out-and-out villain. But there was also a tantalising moral ambivalence to Disney's recent Wizard of Oz prequel, Oz the Great and Powerful, in which it was almost impossible to work out which witches were meant to be good and which wicked (at least until one turned green and sprouted a pointy chin).
Pixar also specialises in subverting traditional perceptions of good and evil – think cuddly pink teddy-bear villain Lotso in Toy Story 3, Bruce the friendly shark in Finding Nemo, or the gourmand rodents of Ratatouille – so perhaps Disney has learned from its wholly owned subsidiary. Disney-owned Marvel also produces superhero stories that would never have made it to the big screen a few years ago, featuring central protagonists whose heroism develops as a result of their experiences (and often failures) rather than being present from birth.
Again, this may just be a general trend for more complex storylines in what would once have been labelled children's films. But I wonder if, in 20 years' time, the term Disney will have the same connotations of cheesy sentimentality that some once attributed to it. The studio has come a long way since the days of Bambi 2 and Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure, and I have to say I'm not as frightened at the prospect of a Disney-produced Star Wars trilogy as I might have been a decade ago – and not nearly as terrified as I would be if George Lucas had decided to ramp up his lightsaber one last time.

Re: 2012-2013 Discussion Thread for La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, etc
Chanting during the game was wrong but the frustration on & off the field reached breaking point. The fans had tried to make the point for a long time before it went to protests. We could all see the way the club was going under Venky's & Kean. As an outsider it's no wonder the fans protesting during games were vilified. The media focus only started when the protests started during the games. Kean and his
team manipulated the media, making him out to be the victim. From the moment he was appointed we slumped & slumped down the league so much so that we just escaped relegation, something which he was treated as a hero for despite where we were when he came in. Our home form was superb under Sam and we rarely lost. We only lost six in his time, against the big boys. Then we were losing a lot and couldn't beat the likes of West Ham & Blackpool who went down. There were no protests in that first season but it was clear where we were going, and that wasn't the Champions League where Venky's said. Then they go & give him an improved contract with the second worst managerial record in our history. We could see where it was going and look. The club weren't listening and the fans who were protesting must've felt desperate. Doing it during matches didn't help, but the fact was Kean was totally inept. His tactics at Spurs when we needed a win to stay up last year spoke volumes. We didn't even try to get a shot on goal. We went from being one of the fittest teams in the league under Sam to one of the least because Kean sacked the fitness coach.
The guy was an absolute conman and his agent who advised the club to sack Sam and give him the job. When he was caught drink driving, he blamed Rovers fans for spiking his drink, something which he was called a 'liar' for in court. He should never have been in that job. Chanting during the games wasn't helpful, course it wasn't. Venky's were targetted too after games but that wasn't shown in the media all the time. The Rovers fans were crucified because most of what was shown was Anti-Kean because that was what created the headlines and he was the one interviewed everyday. There was a lot more to it than that. Neutral fans who only saw what the media showed don't know the full story of what a twat Kean was. The video that surfaced online showed what a disgrace he was.
We're struggling now and not better off, but that's because of the mess he & the asset stripping cunts have got us into. We were lucky at the start of the season, really lucky with some of the results we got. We quickly got found out and the wages we threw at the likes of Murphy & Etuhu. When they threw money at the situation it's too late and is trouble waiting to happen. The club were badly advised by Kean's agent who got him into the job and he was never qualified or capable of doing the job. His results even before the protests showed that. He was sacked way too late. He should've been sacked when we just survived but instead he was rewarded with a hefty contract and took the club to new lows, but instead he referred to relegation as 'exciting times'. How anyone can stick up for that cunt is beyond me. The protests against him during matches were wrong, but it was purely through desperation because no one at the club knew what they were doing or who was in charge. Sponsors didn't get answers or any kind of response. It was the last resort to get the attention and the message across that changes on & off the pitch were needed. Those changes came too late and they've made the wrong decisions since then to make matters even worse.
Berg received full support from the fans but the mess he inherited from the average, unfit asset stripped squad would be a challenge to anyone. We need a lot more than just organisation. There's no fight in that squad whatsoever. The agency who have been advising Venky's all along have completely ruined the club and lined their own & Kean's pockets without a care in the world for Rovers. Go and watch the games and you'll see how average the squad is. Seeing it on paper is one thing but when you see them week in week out you'll see what they're really like. Apart from Rhodes there's no one I'd fight to keep apart from maybe Adam Henley. The heart's been ripped out of the club and that feeling is just horrible, and it keeps getting worse.

Sep 25, 2013 - The Associated PressTrack in Wyoming is involved in the case.
PIERRE, S.D. -- The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture is backing South Dakota in the state's effort to make sure the owner of the old Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad has fulfilled its promises to upgrade the line before selling it.
Secretary Thomas Vilsack sent a letter to the Surface Transportation Board urging the panel to support the state's petition to investigate Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. and the former DM&E, which it acquired in 2007.
Canadian Pacific bought 2,500 miles of track and equipment from South Dakota-based DM&E and its subsidiaries for $1.5 billion.
Now CP and the state of South Dakota are at odds over whether the railroad has met its obligation to invest $300 million in upgrades as part of the purchase.
A CP spokesman said last month the railroad showed the board it has invested substantially more than the $300 million.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard's office disagreed, saying the figures are misleading.
In December, Canadian Pacific announced that it was looking into the possibility of selling 660 miles of track in South Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming and Nebraska. The announcement came a day after the company said it was mothballing plans to extend its DM&E network into the Powder River Basin to ship Wyoming coal to power plants in other states because of weakening demand for coal.
The railroad did not directly link the two decisions.
Daugaard filed the petition with the board in August.
The governor met with Vilsack Sept. 12 in Washington to discuss the only east-to-west rail in South Dakota and its impact on agriculture.
Access to competitive shipping prices for commodities, not abandonment of the line, is the major issue with ensuring Canadian Pacific has upgraded the rail line, said Matt Konenkamp, a policy adviser for the governor's office.
"The governor's concern is that shippers in South Dakota, farmers in South Dakota supported the CP's acquisition of the DM&E based on the promises that were made. And so the petition seeks to determine whether or not those promises have been made," he said.
Vilsack agreed that the issue is worth the STB's attention.
"The loss of this line, or major portions of it, could eliminate rail service to a major portion of the state. Even where service would remain, agricultural shippers would only have access to a single railroad, which could increase rail rates for agricultural shippers and receivers," Vilsack wrote. "A full accounting of the promised investment, as requested by South Dakota, is a reasonable step forward."
Before DM&E was sold to CP, the line provided shipping service to critical transportation hubs including Minneapolis, Chicago and Kansas City, Daugaard said earlier.

You'd barely get 10-1 odds on the 85 bears vs the 08 lions.
The Skins are a good team that is on the up and up and they have an explosive young QB. We are a much better team that has a franchise QB and we should win this game, but to act like we out class them so badly that theres no chance at all we could lose to them is just plain ignorance.
BTW we're 2.5/1 favorites.

text: How many rounds are really necessary before one can be confident in carrying a handgun? When one buys a popular brand, and shoots 100-250 rounds with no problems, shouldn't that be enough to feel confident carrying said weapon? I sometimes read where folks won't carry without at least having 500 or more rounds down range. Thanks.:smiley2:

The Maze Garden at the Morton Arboretum
The Morton Arboretum's Web site calls The Maze Garden a "one-acre, living puzzle of hedges and other plants" and reports that it contains "a half-mile of twists and turns." From a ground-level perspective, it looks less like a green roller coaster and more like rows of shrubs, with brown gravel pathways in between. Still, my daughters, ages 6 and 8, were excited about the idea of winding their way through.
It proves a great excuse to spend time outside in a beautiful setting but definitely not enough to sustain a visit to the arboretum. After 20 minutes or so, our girls were both ready to move on. Fortunately, the Children's Garden is right next to the maze, and there's enough to amuse those under 10 for a couple of hours. Tadpoles in the Wonder Pond were a highlight for my two.
To get to the maze, head inside to the Visitor's Center and to your left for the maze entrance. Before plunging in, you might want to set a few ground rules. We started out all together: daughters in the lead, Mom and Dad behind. Our competitive kids quickly began bickering over which way to go. We paired off, each parent following one leader, and the experience became more fun. The maze also includes a 12-foot-tall lookout tower around a Sycamore tree, where a parent might station themselves for a view of multiple kids, though there looked to be a few blind spots in the perspective.
My 8-year-old enjoyed the focused challenge of getting out of The Maze once we'd gotten in. My 6-year-old lost interest faster—"my feet are tired!" Dead ends, or "hidden plant rooms" as the arboretum calls them, provide consolation prizes in the form of benches and educational signage: "Which signer of the Declaration of Independence grew lilacs in his garden at Monticello?"
My kids' only maze complaint—the hedges should be taller, to make the paths feel more secluded. I'm thinking Mother Nature might help the Morton Arboretum with that in the next few months. Linda Downing Miller
The Maze Garden is at The Morton Arboretum. 4100 Illinois Route 53, Lisle. Free with arboretum admission. (630) 968-0074, www.mortonarb.org.
"Akeelah and the Bee"
"Akeelah and the Bee" is a delightful and positive film with meaning for parents and children–giving us reasons to hope. KiKi Palmer is outstanding as an 11-year old girl who lost her father to gun violence when she was 6 years old. Akeelah deals with her grief by using the gift her father gave her, his love of words. Akeelah and her father played scramble often, so whenever she thought of him she would spell, and it would make her feel better.
Akeelah has lost interest in school, missing classes and not turning in assignments. The inner-city school she attends lacks the basics from books to adequate classrooms to motivate pubescent pre-teens, especially Akeelah.
Akeelah's teacher learns purely by accident that without any effort at all Akeelah can spell. Her teacher suggests she enters the school's spelling bee. Initially, Akeelah wants nothing to do with it, fearing ridicule from her peers and a reluctance to represent her school, which she feels has failed her. But Akeelah's curiosity, competitive spirit and a chance to go to the National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. spur her on. Akeelah wins her school's spelling bee and secures her chance to go to the next level but needs her Mother's permission to move forward. Angela Bassett gives a powerful performance as Akeelah's mother, a woman so consumed with her husband's death and new responsibilities as a single mother that she cannot see her husband's spirit in Akeelah.
Akeelah is fearless as she walks into her future armed only with determination and faith in herself.
My only criticism is the way the whole community rallies around Akeelah, taking time out of their day to study with her, even the local drug dealer. That one ingredient is slightly too unrealistic for me. Even in that instance the message behind it is heart-warming; one little girl transforming a community with the National Spelling Bee. Wouldn't that be magnificent?
Akeelah arouses many emotions that will evoke conversations between parents and children on hope, dreaming, succeeding against the odds and daring to be different. Kimberly Bradley
"Poseidon" If you hear "There's got to be a morning after," and you automatically think Maureen McGovern, rather than birth control pill, you were probably eagerly awaiting the remake of the 1972 disaster film, "The Poseidon Adventure." But think twice before you take the kids. That's why we did not grade this film, because it is not appropriate for many kids despite the PG-13 rating.
It is not like the original. Yes, a rogue wave capsizes a luxury cruise ship in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, just like the original. And yes, only a small group of plucky passengers get that you have to go up to survive. But there is no Shelley Winters here. No sappy stories. It's fast-paced, chair-gripping and intense. It's got a lot of great special effects and it's not a horrible action film—but those good special effects make it the stuff of nightmares if you are a kid.
So I think it would be more appropriately rated "R." There is death, bodies, burning, bodies, drowning, bodies, blood and more bodies. As an adult, it didn't seem gratuitous but more in keeping with the story. But as a parent, it made me want to cover every kid's face with my jacket—even my 14-year-old son, who loved it but was disturbed by a few scenes. But perhaps that had more to do with the fact that we saw it on the I-MAX screen at Navy Pier. Bottom line: If you are looking for a family adventure movie, this is not it. Susy Schultz

Central African Republic capital 'tense' as rebels advance
The president of the Central African Republic, Francois Bozize, has appealed to France and the United States for help to stop a rebel advance that is threatening the capital, Bangui.
Earlier, France, the former colonial power, said its small military contingent in the Central African Republic was there to protect French citizens, not the government.

Click here for the most recent Diamond Lake ice fishing report
2014 marks the second year that Diamond Lake is open for trout fishing year round, providing Southern Oregon anglers with a great opportunity for ice fishing. The lake is currently frozen over with mostly hard ice, making it safe for people to venture out in search of the large trout that swim in the lake.
Before yesterday's precipitation hit us, the Diamond Lake Resort was reporting that there was almost no snow on the ice. After this weekend, expect there to be plenty of snow, but not enough to make things difficult for fishing.
Reports thus far have been a little slow, however fish are being caught as they start to get acclimated to the ice. Most of the fishing takes place in the shallower water where food and oxygen are more abundant for the trout. This typically makes the south end of Diamond Lake the go to spot for ice fishing, as it is much shallower than other areas. Directly in front of the resort is another popular spot, as it's easily accessible and close to a hot lunch and spot to warm up.
The most recent reports have the best fishing coming from in 15 to 20 feet of water and using PowerBait being best. Night crawlers and white crappie jigs are also popular baits.
Before venturing out, it is always recommended to give the Diamond Lake Resort a call (541-793-3333) for the latest ice conditions and fishing report. For more info and help on ice fishing Diamond Lake check out the Resort's Tips Page.

In numerous war movies, tanks are often seen as indestructible symbols roaring to the rescue or representing an unstoppable menace.
"Lebanon" sees these iron coffins from another angle – inside. Except for the opening and closing shots, the entire 90-minute movie takes place in one, as four Israeli soldiers struggle to survive a claustrophobic hell during the early days of the 1982 Lebanon war.
Writer-director Samuel Maoz knows his material well. He fought in that war in such a tank. Added to the stench, sweat and lack of sanitation, the condition for waging war is one of total confusion. The almost inaudible orders are cranked out over a crackling radio and the enemy is ill defined.
The radio barks, "Shoot, shoot!" At what? An approaching out-of-control car; a naked distraught mother searching for her child on a crumbling balcony; a stinger missile, seen through the tank's periscope hurling toward us.
The four stressed-out soldiers are gunner Shmulik (Yoav Donat), driver Yigal (Michael Moshonov), wise guy Hertzel (Oshri Cohen) and tank commander Assi (Itay Tiran). Assi may be the most uncertain of all, a point not lost on bullying superior officer Jamil (Zohar Strauss), who makes periodic visits to the tank and increases the chaos with talk of their mission to a mythical place called San Tropez.
Tension is heightened when a Syrian captive (Dudu Tassa) is deposited into the metal war machine. He's followed by a manic Christian Phalangist militiaman. Supposedly an Israeli ally, the Phalangist drives the prisoner to a state of hysteria, making Arabic torture threats incomprehensible to the soldiers. The scene is made more frightening because the audience knows what he's saying through the horrific subtitles.
In the midst of this despair, Assi tells a story of his sexual initiation. Moving and erotic, it is a strange respite from a seemingly hopeless situation, a human moment in a dark universe. A similar feeling comes when the periscope pans across posters outside a travel agency. Depicted are the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and, ironically, the World Trade Center.
Calling up horrors from his own life, Maoz has made a powerful indictment of war without reason, where inside the belly of an iron beast lie men at their most vulnerable.
"Lebanon" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and is sure to win hearts and minds the world over.

back button googleads
First of all, let me say that I really enjoy this site and have been a member for....well for awhile now. I like to give advice in my area of knowledge and have learned quite a bit from experts in other areas.
Lately I have been having an issue being able to backtrack away from a thread back to the board. If I right click on my back button I see that there is a long list of either googleads pages or mediaplex pages. What I see for example is:
h t t p :// img.mediaplex.com/content/0/1616
h t t p ://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/page
(without the spaces of course) These pages prevent me from going back to the board without actually clicking "plumbing" for instance.
I'm curious. Is this coming from this website or is it something on my computer that I'll need to address? I dont seem to have this issue on any other site so that makes me think that it is perhaps something to do with the advertising here.
Again, I really do enjoy this site and would like to give kudos to those responsible for it being here for all of us to enjoy.

JDC- I don't see anything like that. Only pages I've visited.
I don't know much about browsers and such, but have you changed or updated any settings or web related programs?
I switched to google chrome, and do not have that problem any more.
I'm now trying to get a script blocker that doesn't require me to use a password every time I open the browser.
No changes or updates to Internet Explorer or Windows. Think I'll give Google Chrome a try and see if that remedies the situation.
Well it seems that the issue is gone with Google Chrome. Thanks for the suggestion!

Last week we showed you the MotoCzysz electric sportbike, the E1pc, dyno testing on video for the first time. That test, and all previous tests that have been done, were conducted with the batteries not installed into the bike. This week we bring you footage of the electric race bike all gussied up and ready to go with its battery packs on-board.
Seeing the bike take a closer shape to its racing form is certainly a sight in of itself, but what intriuged us was how fast this bike can go. In the video linked after the jump we see the bike clearly hit 120mph. It does this in only 11 seconds. Sandbagging us in this video, the E1pc apparently has more, with MotoCyzsz predicting that the bike can do the 0-120mph test in a mere 7 or 8 seconds. More after the jump

You have four choices…
1) Place a LED headlamp with a floodlight beam pattern on the group facing up and pretend it's a fire. A heavier version of this is take one of the LED lanterns.
2) A small candle lantern
3) One of the small butane lanterns if you are willing to carry the extra weight and need a lot of light.
4) Take a portable DVD player and one of the "fire in the fireplace" DVDs :)Apr 21, 2008 at 11:51 pm #1429448

I've tried a few of the alternatives mentioned above. First, I have a Brunton "Glorb" which like all LED's, gives off a "cold" light. I've also tried lanterns using fuel canisters but the mantles tend to disintigrate when packed and carried, meaning you need to install a new mantle every time you light the thing. Short of an actual small fire, I'll defer to the previous suggestions for a candle lantern. They'll give you the warm glow that I personally find much more satisfying than LED's.Apr 22, 2008 at 10:51 am #1429517

If its just ambiance you're after there are some tiny led candles they use for wedding decorations. I got a couple of the submersible ones from a wedding I was at. They're only about an inch dia by 1/2 inch high and last for a couple of days if left on. I found a place to get them on line for you. http://www.weddingflowersandmore.com/iris.html
You won't be able to perform surgery by them but if you want something to sit around in your tent with your friends and sing kumbiya they would be just fine.

I don't know of anything that can replace a real campfire.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned though is fill up a clear Platypus reservoir with water and shine the LED directly into it. The semi-clear plastic filled with water has a nice diffusing effect. It may not give the illusion of warmth, though…unless you have some orange or red gatorade powder along with you. However, I've done this in the middle of the night when I had to leave my campsite and just wanted a visual way to come back and find it; it's a nice little beacon.
…or just build a small, illegal fire and cover up your traces really well the next morning.

"For such a little gift tag, this packs a punch! When I first opened, I must admit these tags took my breath away. So pretty and so perfect for a 6-year dol gift tag. Makes life a little easier knowing I can wrap take-home gift in simple cellophane bag with ribbon and this tag. Love it!"
"nice & modern. this was hip and trendy without going overboard. The colors printed nicely. I chose the blue. Definately recommend!"
"These worked perfectly with the Crazy Cupcake theme that I stuck on the cupcake towel party favors from Beau-Coupe. So easy and quick!"

Apple's world wide developer conference started today, with a couple of pieces of very interesting news for the web designer/developer community. First up, Safari 3 is now available for Windows. This is a beta folks, and by many reports, highly unstable. So keep that in mind before giving it a try. Secondly, Apple announced the way to develop apps for the iPhone is by developing Webapps. For iPhone, Ajax is the new Cocoa, it would seem.

Hi boys, this is Sophia Knight, your Treat Of The Month for June 2013. I am so excited be a Treat!!
I was an erotic dancer and started to do babeshows then Twistys contacted me and they were my first ever adult shoot!
What I look for in a romantic partner is someone funny, he has to make me laugh. For a sexual partner I like a dominant man.
A typical day for me is to wake up and do nothing haha. I'll have my coffee, masturbate and if I'm lucky get fucked or masturbate some more.
Kisses, Sophia | Come check me out!
