QB - If TJ doesn't show much, I could easily see us trading up for our franchise QB.
RB - Contract year for both Lynch and Forsett. I bet we re-sign one or both and its not an early need...but theres always a chance they grab one.
DE - Clemons has one year of 10+ sacks and will be 30 this season, we need a future here.
DT - Thrilled we re-signed Mebane, but outside of him our DTs aren't all that great.
LB - Tatupu gone, Curry overpaid and a possible cap casualty next season, Hill on a one year prove yourself deal, and Hawthorne will be an UFA...the future here is unknown.
CB - We need a #1.

Baltimore Ravens Draft Needs
(As of 11/01/11)
Birk is 36 and has shown signs of wearing down
Michael Oher is a RT who looks overmatched when playing LT. The signing of Bryant McKinnie and moving Oher back to RT looks to be an admission of this
Ray Lewis can't play on forever and the guys behind him on the DC arent really guys to lead the D like Lewis does. Ideally we'd get Burfict or Te'o in 2012 to learn from and then eventually replace him
After those 3, FS, WR, LG and CB are all pretty even
Ed Reed will probably retire in 2-3 years so now might be a good time to start looking for a replacement
Dependent on what happens with Grubbs in FA next year, a mid-late round G may also be targeted.
We have Boldin and Torrey Smith. Tandon Doss and David Reed have barely seen the field on offense, if at all. Who knows what we have in Lee Evans given that he has played 1 gimpy game so far this season. A true #1 WR could be a good pick
Not a feeling shared by most Ravens fans, I believe that a mid round CB could be a good pick to release Ladarius Webb to play his more natural role of FS
Stone85 & mike23md
on the sig!

Buffalo Bills
As it stands right now (updated 8/14/2011)...
: Erik Pears is penciled in as the starter at right tackle with rookie Chris Hairston behind him. Demetrius Bell is the starting left tackle. This could be a make or break year for Bell.
: Kraig Urbik has not looked good so far, and there really isn't any good depth behind him. Perhaps the Bills will end up using Geoff Hangartner at guard since Eric Wood is now the center.
: The current starters are Andra Davis and Nick Barnett. Rookies Kelvin Sheppard and Chris White are waiting in the wings along with Arthur Moats. If the Buffalo run defense does not improve drastically this season look for the Bills to further address this position.
: There is no one of note on the roster. Chan Gailey seems to really like Scott Chandler. We'll see.
: The Bills will need a franchise quarterback at some point. This is ranked lower at the moment, but it all really depends on how well Ryan Fitzpatrick does this season and where the Bills will be drafting next year.
: Chris Kelsay is currently on one side with Shawn Merriman on the other. The one thing this unit has going for it are the young guys behind the starters who have showed promise (Antonio Coleman, Arthur Moats). Danny Batten is also in the mix, who missed his entire rookie season due to injury. Both Merriman and Batten had a solid first preseason game.
Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?

I am absolutely stunned to be saying this. But, as of right now, The Lions do not have any desperate needs. That is the first time, in over 40 years of watching the Lions that I have been able to say that.
Martin Mayhew for Executive of the Year
What he has done to turn the Lions around in only 3 off-seasons is nothing short of spectacular.
The Lions are in the position to just take the best player that falls to them.
I am STUNNED
The Lions have a ton of players scheduled to hit free agency.
: I'm not sure they have a #1 CB right now, and anyway ... you can never have too many CBs. Injuries happen. Houston has played pretty well, but he is not a shutdown CB (if there are any of those besides Revis). Eric Wright only signed a one year deal and he could walk. Alphonso Smith flashed some talent last year, but most people remember him getting torched by Tom Brady on Thanksgiving Day...he is currently not able to play because of injury. They could take a CB in the 1st round and still take another later in the draft to bolster this unit.
: They have 3 decent starters (Tullock, Levy, and Durant) for 2011, and they could be the long term answers if they can extend some contracts...with Tullock and Levy. Even the special teamer/backups' contracts run out on Carpenter, Palmer, and Ekejiuba after 2011. They need to re-sign and add depth to the LBs desperately.
: LDE Cliff Avril signed his one year tender, but he hasn't signed a long term deal and I think he'll leave Detroit to follow the money. RDE Kyle VandenBosch is their best DE and he's 33. They could use either a pass rush specialist/stud to replace Avril (they seem to like the undersized DEs with speed) or compete with the current backups. And they could use a hustle DE to back up VDB (2nd + round). Lawrence Jackson and Willie Young are good young players who they like. But adding a DE in either the 1st or 2nd round would be a typical build to your strength move by Mayhew.
: Schwartz and company haven't been happy with the push of the interior O-line in the run game. They continue to look in free agency for somebody to push RG S. Peterman...though they're not very happy with LG R. Sims, either. I could see them taking an OG in the 2nd-4th round.
: If there is a premiere LT available at their pick in the first round they could grab him, but they aren't going to reach for any position, especially LT. Jeff Backus' contract runs out after this year, he's 33 years old, and has never been a premiere LT. However, he's also reliable and plays through injury. I wouldn't be shocked if they re-sign him. Nevertheless they also like his backup, Jason Fox, because of his pass blocking. If LT Backus is allowed to leave/retire, they could use a LT for depth and/or competition to Fox. If they're picking at #20 or below, RT is also a possibility. RT Gosder Cherilus makes too many stupid mistakes for a veteran player. He could be fairly easily upgraded. But they can get starting caliber RTs between the 2nd - 4th rounds.
: They are using Will Heller in the H-back. They don't have a FB on the roster. Linehan doesn't use a FB much and likes the TEs to function as blockers in the run game. However Will Heller is getting older and he is their best blocking TE. FB and TE are always good 5th - 7th round picks.
: They have J. Best and M. LeShoure under contract for next year...and that's it. They are missing a goal-line back to complement
those two. LeShoure is coming off from Achilles injury. Jerome Harrison and Maurice Morris are 2012 UFAs. If there is a late round backup RB type, I could see them using a 4th - 7th round pick.
: Drew Stanton is only signed through 2011. I would imagine Drew wants to at least have a shot at a #2 QB gig somewhere. That only happens in Detroit if Shaun Hill retires (and I don't see that happening). I could see the Lions picking up a project anywhere from the 4th round on.

I'll take a crack at the Browns early needs as of now.
Biggest needs o.l.b.,corner back,def. end and o.t. seem to be our biggest needs right now. Could actually use two linebackers. A guy like Burfect that can play both inside and outside would be nice. If d'qwell jackson stays healthy and resigns with us m.l.b. should be in good hands. Jackson also has the ability to move outside.
Other possible needs are q.b. depends how Colt plays. r.b. depends how Hardesty plays. Free safety depends how Usama Young plays. w.r. is also a possible need.
Depth needs are def. tackle and off. guard.

-NT (Snacks age)
-WR (possesion type)
Low Tier Needs
-2nd TE

Eagles Needs
In order:
LB- Jamar Chaney and Brian Rolle are both capable of starting but I think we still need a stud in the middle of our D.
WR- There's a decent chance Desean won't be back, so a true #1 opposite of JMac would be nice.
DT- If Cullen Jenkins returns it's not as a big need but Mike Patterson is just an average starter and Antonio Dixon will be coming off a season ending injury.
QB- We need a Quarterback of the future, whether it's with Reid and co. or anew coaching staff .
TE- Brent Celek has regressed with Vick as the starter and it would be nice to have a TE who can create match-up problems.
OT- Herramans and Peters but with Dunlap set to hit FA there isn't much depth at tackle
Depth would be nice at: S, DE, LB, G and C.

Big needs:
4-3 DE: Assuming they keep the same defensive scheme from this season to next, they'll need some DEs. Shaun Ellis and Andre Carter are the projected starters, but they are 34 and 32 respectively and both on one year contracts. The LE needs to be big (280-290) but also rush the passer pretty well, so either an oversized college DE or an undersized college DT. The RE needs to primarily rush the passer from a 3-point stance while not being a liability against the run.
FS: Brandon Meriweather is a free agent and the team is unhappy with him right now anyway. Freelancing is bad, taking bad angles is bad, and missing tackles is bad. Football intelligence and instincts are stressed.
WR: Welker and Branch are both free agents after the season. Maybe Taylor Price will be ready to step in opposite Ochocinco, but they may want to draft someone new. Size is not required, but quick feet and route-running ability are.
C: Dan Koppen is declining quickly. A new center is the only missing piece for a crazy-awesome offensive line of Solder, Mankins, some center, Cannon, and Vollmer.
Moderate needs:
SLB: This starting spot currently belongs to Rob Ninkovich. It's a rather interesting position in the Pats' 4-3 Under. He needs to play the run well and drop into coverage, but also rush the passer sometimes. Ninkovich was a college DE who excels in space (4.18 shuttle and 6.96 3-cone), and this could be a good position for a college DE who is athletic and stout against the run, but not quite an elite pass rusher. That said, Ninkovich isn't going to lose any games for the Pats and is very dependable.
DT: Wilfork and Hayneworth are the clear starters, but it may not be too soon to start developing a replacement for Haynesworth, who has a big bonus in 2013.
Slight depth needs:
MLB, WLB: Spikes and Mayo are the starters, respectively, and Fletcher is a great backup at MLB, but a third-string MLB and backup WLB upgrade over Gary Guyton is possible.
SS: Pat Chung looks like a 10-year start for Belichick, but there's really no backup on the roster unless Sergio Brown shows big things this coming season.
TE: Gronkowski and Hernandez are as good of a receiving TE duo as there is, but the only other TEs on the roster are blockers Smith and Yeatman and Garrett Mills. Claiming Mills might be a sign that Belichick wants more of a backup receiving TE in case of an injury to Hernandez, who should be a huge part of the offense for the next few seasons.
Very minimal need:
QB: Brady, Mallett, Hoyer. Enough said.
HB: The Pats just grabbed Vereen and Ridley to add to Green-Ellis and Woodhead.
OT: Solder and Vollmer as the starters, and Steve Maneri as a swing backup.
OG: Mankins and Cannon as the starters with Connolly as a 3-position backup
CB: Devin McCourty is an All Pro, Leigh Bodden has been a starting CB for 5 seasons, Ras-I Dowling was the 33rd overall pick, and Kyle Arrington was solid as a #2 last season. And that's assuming that Darius Butler never turns into anything.

As of right now the Bears needs are
Major Needs
Interior Oline: Any of our 3 interior spots could be upgraded we simply lack talent at those spots with guys like Garza, Williams & Louis starting 2 or 3 new interior guys through the draft & FA is what we really need to add talent & depth.
Defensive End: This need may change dramatically depending on how Corey Wootton returns from injury a complement to Julius Peppers would give us a furious pass rush which is the element our D relies on the most.
Cornerback: Another area where we lack starting talent our D doesnt value CBs as highly as pass rushers which is why this is less of a need than DE that said we need someone to play across from Charles Tillman and eventually replace him as our #1.
Minor Needs
Wide Receiver: Our young WRs all have talent we have guys like Knox, Bennett, Hester & now Sanzenbacher but all these guys bring similar skill sets and size Roy Williams hasnt impressed since arriving here so we will most likely be looking for a complement to the young guys in next years draft.
Linebacker: Our starting talent is great Urlacher & Briggs are still as good a duo as there is in the NFL Nick Roach is a solid player who will complement both but we lack depth at all 3 spots and with both Urlacher & Briggs now in their 30s we have to plan for the future.

Its really difficult to judge where the Vikings stand right now, as there will be a ton of youth and unproven players filling in at starting spots. I will just assume that no one makes any surprise progressions.
Glaring Needs:
LT - Even if Bryant McKinnie was on the roster, this would still be the team's most urgent need. Charlie Johnson should be a solid stop-gap, but LT is as much of a need as a franchise QB was for MN last year. MN needs to find that young blind side protector for Christian Ponder, Charlie Johnson is not that guy. I expect this need to be addressed in round 1.
SS - Jamarca Sanford is the starter as of right now, I doubt he shows any promise. Another guy to watch out for is rookie 6th rd pick Mistral Raymond. Raymond very well could push Sanford out of the starting lineup by midseason, the coaching staff loves Raymond. If Raymond is given a shot, and plays well, this probably wont be an urgent need. Hussain Abdullah at FS is serviceable, so he very well could be replaced as well. For the time being, Safety is regarded as the next urgent need.
C - John Sullivan is horrible, bottom line. Brandon Fusco is an interesting young prospect, who could potentially replace Sullivan. Time will tell, maybe Sullivan figures it out or Fusco gets a chance. For now, Center is a glaring need for MN.
Big Needs
WR - Losing that down the field threat in Sidney Rice will hurt. Percy Harvin and Michael Jenkins should be excellent contributors in 2011, but MN could be on the lookout for a stud #1 WR, or playmaker down the field. I would anticipate this being a 1st or 2nd rd need. Harvin and Jenkins, to go with Shiancoe and Rudolph at TE should be a good enough group of receivers. So I don't see this is a glaring need, but one that could be addressed if the primary needs aren't filled or aren't available in round 1 or 2.
CB - Antoine Winfield is getting old, Cedric Griffin has been battling consecutive knee injuries, and Chris Cook is a complete unknown. CB isnt as big of a need as Safety is, as there are quite a few players who could potentially fill the position for the time being, Brandon Burton and Marcus Sherels are two young players to look out for as well. Nevertheless, this probably isnt a 1st rd need, but maybe in rd. 2 if MN could get a player on the down fall
OG - Both Steve Hutchinson and Anthony Herrera are getting old and have battled injuries. When both players are healthy, they are a great guard duo, very underrated. OG may not actually be a need, MN has two young prospects who can play Guard in Chris DeGeare and DeMarcus Love; so maybe one of those two will fill the long term need here. Herrera is several years younger than Hutch, so replacing Hutch will be a priority in 2012. But again, maybe DeGeare or Love will be that guy. Stay tuned...
Minor Needs
OLB - Chad Greenway is a stud, but Erin Henderson is a bit of an unknown. I will break my rule, I am actually going to predict Erin Henderson to become a good WOLB. He has been a tackling machine all preseason, and has shined when given a chance in the regular season. I think Henderson nails down the starting spot, but MN could still use some depth at the position.
MLB - E.J. Henderson is a very underrated player, who is showing no signs of slowing down, despite the horrible injury he sufferered in 2009. I put this as a minor need as MN could look out for its MLB of the future. Jasper Brinkley has played well when given a chance, so maybe he is that guy. Nevertheless, as with OLB, adding more depth at this spot should be looked at after round 2.
TE - This could be a bigger need if MN doesnt resign Visanthe Shiancoe in 2012, but I think they will. The team just took Rudolph to compliment Shiancoe in MN's 2 TE offense, but there backups, Jim Kleinsasser and Jeff Dugan are both free agents in 2012. Kleinsasser very well could retire after the season. Adding a blocking TE after round 3 will be urgent to replace what Kleinsasser and Dugan do. Someone who can double as a FB and TE would be ideal.
DE - This is dependent upon Brian Robison becoming a good starter and Everson Griffen becoming a good backup. Will see, I bet they both improve and this probably will only be a late round depth need.
DT - Just like DE, this is dependent upon Remi Ayodele playing well as a starter. Letroy Guion looks like a beast when on the field, so MN should be fine. Christian Ballard is a nice pass rusher at DT. MN is looking good here. But MN could be on the lookout for a huge run stuffing body occupying DT in the mid to late rounds.

jags needs as of 8/30
1A: WR<--our wrs havent been playing good this preseason and seem to lack the ability to separate from the defense.
1B: Cb<--you know its a need when u like Fitzpatrick complete 12/13 passes. mathis is old and likely gone. multiple picks could happen.
1C: DE<--we have 0, yes i said 0 sacks in 3 preseason games. we need a pass rusher and though kampman didnt play in those 3 games you would think we would have a sack.
2: O-line<--we could use some backup linemen as our backup T is horrible and we dont have a good interior backup though spitz is servicable. we need a future center as well
3: Safety<--landry is opur best safety. greene and prons are 2 talented guys but greene is not good in coverage. if the value is there we have to take him
4: Punter<--we could be looking for a punter with 43 year old turk punting for us.
5: QB<--we have our future starter in gabbert but we could use a developmental backup because garrard will likely be let go when we feel gabbert is ready and mccown is 31 and isnt that great though he is a good number 3.
IN Blaine Gabbert I Trust

Panthers (9/4/2011):
Big Needs
CB--Munnerlyn belongs in the slot, and Gamble is starting to slow down.
WR--We have a lot of young guys, but none stick out as a #1 receiver, so if Blackmon/Jeffery are available, they'll probably be the pick.
LDE--Depends entirely on how Greg Hardy does this season, but Everette Brown clearly isn't the answer, so chances are we'll be looking for a DE relatively early
DT--Looks like third round rookies Sione Fua and Terrell McClain will get plenty of action this year, so we'll get a good feel for how good they will be. If they don't look good, this is another possible early pick
Smaller Needs:
RG--Schwartz would have been the starter if healthy, but even so he isn't a great option
TE--We traded for Olsen and signed Shockey/Hartsock, but I think we'll try to grab a young guy late to eventually take over Shockey's role
Not a need at all:
QB--Spent our first pick on QBs the last 2 years, we won't be drafting one unless something drastic happens
OT--Gross and Otah are both very good starters, so stop with the top 10 tackles. We may draft another tackle in the late rounds as a backup
C--Kalil is locked up long-term, and we have some guys around that are good as backups
LB--Best starters in the league, plus amazing depth
S--We've got 5 on the roster right now that the coaches really like, so depth isn't an issue

Exploring the pathways of our lexicon
Code Name Watch: Obama the "Smart Alec"?
May 26, 2011By Ben Zimmer
A few weeks ago, we reported on a mini-controversy stemming from the raid of Osama bin Laden, where the code name "Geronimo" was used. That drew the ire of some Native American groups who saw an unfortunate equivalence being drawn to a legendary warrior. Now we have a new code name controversy: for President Obama's visit to the United Kingdom, Scotland Yard has used the code name "Chalaque," which some newspapers have explained as a Punjabi word meaning "smart alec."

El Momento de Verdad
Most of the pages are finished and ready to be uploaded, and most of the editing is behind me. So having never missed a deadline in my life (not on my own, anyway), OpenSource Reporter goes "on the air" — or the on-line equivalent — right on time for its Feb. 1, 2007 schedule date tomorrow.
So as I systematically and periodically upload pages today (Wednesday, Jan. 31), tonight and early tomorrow morning, I should let you know a little bit about this publication.
For those of you who read this blog on a regular basis (those of you outside my family, that is), you know that OSR is a publication — both electronic- and paper-based — dedicated to promoting the tenets mentioned above in the description of this blog (for a more detailed version of why I'm doing this, go to my first blog installment), and generally to bring free software/open source software to people that deserve fresh alternatives in their daily computing experiences — alternatives that don't require the imprimatur of the software mandarins in Redmond or Cupertino.
At this point, it's only fitting to recognize the people who are instrumental in getting this project off the ground.
First, raise a glass to toast my OSR colleague Tod Landis, whose vast technical knowledge is OSR's "yin" to the "yang" of my journalistic experience. I may put the words on the page, but Tod's expertise, knowledge and insight are really the spark plug that powers the engine of this publication.
Then, if we can face toward San Jose, Calif., we bow thankfully to Cameron Spitzer, who keeps progressives, lefties and even Luddites on the net, and is arguably the Silicon Valley's uber-geek without peer. Cameron planted the seeds of OSR through discussions about free software/open source software with me and, as the Green Internet Society's guru, he hosts OSR on GIS's server.
Gratitude also goes to my wife Kyoko for the world class, Olympic-caliber depth of patience she has shown to my new-found evangelical zeal, and to my daughter Mirano who, at 9, watches intently over Dad's shoulder, asks the eternal "why . . ?" and shows a propensity for grasping software (starting with Earthlink's Trellix to make her own web page) that far outshines her Dad.
Organizations which have paved the way for OSR (not a complete list, obviously) include The Free Software Foundation, Creative Commons and the Electronic Frontier Foundation — all groups which you should go out and join and/or contribute to right now. A tip of the hat also goes to the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group, which fields an inordinate number of questions from this Linux newbie from "across the hill."
Now, if I only had a bottle of champagne to break over . . . um . . . this PowerMac 9500 that's sitting next to the coffee table waiting for its Linux install, perhaps that would make it official.
News, [views] and blues
News: A very interesting storm seems to be brewing on the GNU Public License front in the advent of GPL-3, according to CRN's story here. Give it a good read — it may not affect software users directly, but it gives one a better understanding of the differences between free software and open source software camps, and the dynamic involved in moving free software and open source software forward.
[Me? Oh, I'm firmly behind Richard Stallman and FSF, but I'm willing to discuss it with those who disagree.]
Meanwhile, in other developments: Linux's two most important support groups, the Open Source Development Labs and the Free Standards Group, said this week they'll merge in February to form the Linux Foundation. It's an acknowledgement that Linux can't afford to divide its resources for funding, legal defense, and standards, since problems on any of those fronts could weaken the operating system's advancement. "We will be a vendor-neutral organization capable of responding to competitors' attacks and FUD," says Jim Zemlin, executive director of the new foundation and former head of the Free Standards Group.
[Oh, indeed. Associate memberships range from $25 for individuals to rare-metal named memberships of $500,000.]
Blues: I'm this close to getting Linux running on my extraneous PowerBook G3 Wallstreet, but I keep getting a PEBKAC error (problem exists bewteen keyboard and chair, for those who aren't IT guys and gals) which prevents me from joining the world of the open source OS ranks. While I get my dunce cap and make it over to the stool in the corner, I do want to thank Daniel at the Silicon Valley Linux User Group for his detailed instruction on Wednesday night that, hopefully, is still being adhered to (those parts of my notes that I can actually read) and will not go to waste.
Walking the walk on a tightrope, with success
It is a family tradition of sorts not to take the easy way out; a tradition I hope to outgrow as I get older, but so far to no avail. Why take the path of least resistance when the road less traveled is probably just that for a good reason?
Hence, while the Linux install on the PowerBook 1400 has gone as expected over the past several days (constant failure, although those who have achieved this elusive goal have mentioned that it would be a chore), I turned my sights on my top-of-the-Old-World list PowerBook G3 Wallstreet and a variety of Linux and Unix operating systems that might run on it — Debian and NetBSD being the finalists (although I am told that SuSE will run on Old World Macs — more on this another time, perhaps).
Fortunately for me, the Silicon Valley Linux User Group holds its installfest on the third Saturday of the month in one of the buildings on the Google campus in Mountain View, Calif. So with daughter Mirano in tow (my wife was under the weather), we made the trek "over the hill" on Saturday to see if they could help.
We were met at the door by Jason, who signed us in and guided us to the room where the installfest took place. The fact that he was working on a pair of Macs dispelled my fear that I'd be the only Mac user.
SVLUG president Paul Reiber, working on what he described as the group's "Frakenstein" server, and Mark (whose last name I didn't get — sorry, Mark) and I discussed options for my installation adventure. With the caveat that this model Mac is not the most Linux friendly, the two of them got me pointed in the right direction.
Left to my own devices with Linux folks nearby to ask questions possibly was the most comfortable environment to take the plunge from my Mac OS comfort zone to the new world of Linux with my Old World Mac. Mark occasionally stopped by to see how I was doing, and while I seemed to always on the brink of a breakthrough, I never got Debian going on Saturday. Time constraints (I had a real job to go to) — and a cranky 9-year-old who finds a group of computer people interesting only for so long — forced me to leave before I had successfully installed Debian.
In leaving, Paul mentioned that I would probably get everything going later, having taken a wealth of information from the meeting (which I did) and applying it at home. He was right: On Sunday, I tried some of the options I hadn't done — or hadn't occurred to me — and got Debian installed on the Wallstreet. Now to get it up and running . . . .
While extending a grateful "thanks" to those who helped me on Saturday, I would like to reiterate that getting involved with a user group is a great way to get started if you're new to open source. While I don't know how involved I can be from Santa Cruz, the folks at SVLUG have not seen the last of me.
Old machines, new OS and an appearance by Colonel Panic
A fact of life is that older Macs never die. Apple may systematically forsake them, as their quest to add to the upward spiral of their corporate coffers seems boundless, but the hardware still works well 10 to 15 years (or longer) down the line. I should know: My home lineup includes an eMac (commandeered by my wife), a G3 mintower with a G4 Sonnet upgrade maxed out memory-wise (mine, mine, mine!), a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet and a Newton — yes, a Newton (Jobs' only error is 86ing this project) — are still in constant use.
In storage (translation: lying around the house somewhere) are PowerBooks of the 1400, 5300, 160, 120 variety. All these machines power up and still work, even though the three-digit PBs may be obsolete for anything other than word processing.
The point here, before I get into the following tale of "whoa" not woe, is that open source developers have a gold mine waiting for them with older Mac machines; hardware which keeps on keepin' on but which has been abandoned by their maker. Ubuntu needs to pay special attention to this, because the rumor that they're abandoning the PowerPC version would be a pretty big mistake.
Talking the talk, I decided to walk the walk by installing Linux on the 1400.
This once oft-used PowerBook 1400c — a machine that served me quite well in the past — was liberated from its box beside a bookcase at home, dusted off and fired up. The PRAM battery is dead, but with its full allotment of memory (64MB) and OS9 still percolating under the keyboard, it works very well.
After determining that whatever was left on it — software- and document-wise — could be sacrificed, I set out to see what was available for NuBus PowerMacs and came up with, voila, a page called "Welcome to the World of Linux 2.4 for NuBus Power Macs".
So here's the drill: Download on eMac. Burn CD. Turn on 1400. Boot from OS9 CD. Format hard drive (standard, not HFS+). Restart. Play finger Twister once again to hold down the required keys to boot from CD (command-control-shift-delete — the 1400 is quirky that way, as other models require that you just hold down the "c" key) and . . . .
. . . a penguin! Success! A penguin welcomes me to GNU/Linux while a variety of type sprints up the screen. A few more screens of type sprint up my screen until the final lines say, and I quote directly, "Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Rebooting in 180 seconds . ."
Good thing that the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group is holding its Installfest this Saturday (or at least I hope they are — they hold them on the third Saturday of each month at the Google offices in Mountain View). While I'm there, I'll also bring the PowerBook G3 and the Ubuntu disk, throw myself at the mercy of someone who knows Linux better than I do, and hope for the best.
Meanwhile, it's back to trying to make the 1400 work. If I can get this penguin to do more than smile back at me while embracing the Mac on the screen . . .
In the beginning, there was the command line . . . .
. . . or do I overstate things?
After I extend my sincerest apologies to science fiction author Neal Stephenson who wrote the essay of the same name — my deepest apologies, Neal — I'll offer a brief introduction: My name is Larry Cafiero, also known as "Larry the OpenSource Guy" or just plain Larry (unless you're my mother, who with the government are the only people who call me "Lawrence"), and if you look to the right, you'll see a Reader's Digest version of who I am.
How did I become the open source and free software evangelist whose words you now read? It was somewhat simple, although at this point it might behoove you to get a cup of coffee before reading this. Go ahead. I'll wait.
As you can see at your right, I was the Green Party candidate for Insurance Commissioner in California in last year's elections. In an e-mail exchange with Cameron Spitzer (an Internet guru for progressives in the Silicon Valley and the point man for the Green Internet Society) I lamented that I couldn't afford to compete with the major party candidates in producing quality materials.
Cameron's reply, and I'm paraphrasing here, went something along the lines of, "yes you can," and explained the virtues of open source and free software.
Bingo: OpenOffice replaces a woefully outdated Word. Gimp replaces an all-too-early version of Photoshop. Scribus replaces a 20th Century edition of Quark.
Cameron's advice became a revelation wrapped in an epiphany surrounded by a satori.
During the course of the campaign — especially during those long drives throughout California wishing the state was more the size of Rhode Island — thoughts kept surfacing about how society would benefit by the practice of using open source and free software. On a philosophical level, the open source and free software paradigm lends itself to building a society where people practiced teamwork, rather than competition, in developing the software and contributing to its working properly. On a political level, one has to advocate for any system that would provide the planet's populace — especially those less fortunate than those who live in industrialized nations — an alternative to the software shackles foisted upon the world by the mandarins in Redmond (Vista: Need I say more?) and, to a degree, those in Cupertino. Even on the most basic, practical level, reasonable people understand the basic human right to choose whatever software they wish to use on their computer, without the interference of national or multinational corporations, while being able to use, configure and understand this software in its use on a daily basis.
After the campaign, I spoke to some open source developers about this subject, and thus happened upon my mission: To boldly go and spread the gospels of open source and free software, with a missionary goal of converting the average computer user to exercise his or her freedom to choose software that benefits the general populace — as opposed to filling corporate coffers — and to provide a vehicle to make open source and free software more comprehensible to the common computer user.
A major component of this evangelical zeal comes in the form of OpenSource Reporter, which officially goes on-line February 1 (with some features appearing on-line earlier), and its bimonthly print version counterpart with a first copies slated for May/June 2007 (watch your local news stand).
I'm not a "tech" by anyone's definition, and I'm at peace with that. I'm a journalist by profession. So you may encounter both in OSR, and in this blog, items that the most seasoned programmer or developer may find to be "pre-Programming 101" or earlier. I make no apologies for this: OSR and this blog serve to inform and instruct those who are not programmers or developers; the mere mortals who use the software bestowed by those with a higher understanding of the binary world of 1's and 0's than we have.
I'm willing to bet you're reading this — those of you who aren't related to me, that is — because you're a computer user who does more than merely use software and may (or may not) be a "power user," or you are looking for alternatives to the software on the shelves. If you're a developer or programmer, I'm willing to bet that you're here because you're smart enough to realize that the key to getting your software used by a wide range of users is to run it past those of us who are the digital equivalent of "backyard mechanics" — those who aren't afraid to delve into their hardware and software to change the oil and brake pads and do maintenance most people pay others to do.
To all of you who have gotten this far, welcome (and thanks for not nodding off). By all means, let's move forward in this endeavor together.
Now, does anyone out there have Ubuntu running on their Mac (and if so, how did you do it)?

Where's the innovation in solar these days? The thin film solar companies that raised hundreds of millions of dollars a couple years ago (Nanosolar, Heliovolt, Miasole, Solyndra) are now struggling to reach commercial-scale production, while utility-scale solar thermal companies like BrightSource and eSolar are racing to build some of their first solar plants in the world's deserts.
But the solar sector is still the second most popular area for greentech venture investment, according to the Cleantech Group, which reports that solar companies received $322 million in 27 deals worldwide for the first quarter of 2010. The largest rounds went to Intel-backed (s INTC) crystalline silicon solar cell maker SpectraWatt, and pole-mounted solar system maker PetraSolar.
However, those are solar firms that have been on the scene for awhile, so what are the next-generation of early-stage solar startups that could help change the game — and the economics — for solar technology? Well, here's three young and stealthy solar startups that have been turning heads this week:
1). SkyWatch Energy: Not much is known about the technology behind SkyWatch Energy, the solar startup backed by Vinod Khosla's Khosla Ventures (Khosla will be speaking at our Green:Net 2010 conference on April 29 in San Francisco). But this week, according to an SEC filing (hat tip New Energy Finance) the stealthy company has raised $10.5 million. SkyWatch Energy was in the process of raising $3.2 million in its first round of funding late last year, but seems to have boosted that amount significantly.
SkyWatch employs several experienced solar entrepreneurs, including chief executive Gilad Almogy, who was previously a senior vice president in charge of display and thin-film products at semiconductor manufacturing equipment maker Applied Materials (s AMAT). LinkedIn profiles indicate that SkyWatch's director of engineering, as well as a senior project manager for the company, also came from Applied Materials. SkyWatch's director of technology Joe Lichy (LinkedIn profile), has experience with concentrating-solar technologies and previously served as a vice president at now-defunct flat-plate solar-concentrator company SV Solar. He also was formerly the president of another solar-concentrator company, NuEdison, which was bought by SV Solar in 2007.
2). SunReports: Perhaps using IT to monitor solar systems will be a hot area of innovation in 2010. According to the Cleantech Group, solar monitoring startup SunReports came out of stealth this morning with its product called Apollo 1 that can monitor solar hot water heaters and photovoltaics.
There's already some monitoring technology on the market — Fat Spaniel has been a leader in the solar monitoring space — but SunReports is focusing on the residential market, looking to sell to its device (which is about the size of an Internet modem) to residential solar installers and home owners. SunReports CEO Thomas Dinkel is actually a former Fat Spaniel exec.
3). Twin Creeks: Twin Creeks is another stealthy solar startup that has been shielding its technology, though Greentech Media has an article on the company this week that suggests the company might be coming out of stealth soon. Like Solyndra before it, Twin Creeks has raised a lot of funding — $65 million — to still be in stealth, but as Greentech Media points out the company will have to start talking soon as it's investing $175 million into a solar panel plant in Senatobia, Miss., that will ultimately employ 512 workers. The company is backed by Crosslink Capital and DAG Ventures.

How to get bottom of Inkberry Hollies to grow
The Inkberry Holly shrubs in front of my house are bare on basically the bottom 40% of the plant and only have leaves above the 40% line.
How can I get leaves to grow down on the lower part of the plant?
Some people say to trim the shrub really low and then that makes the leaves grow on the lower part of the shrub, but it doesn't seem like that would work. The bottom 40% of these shrubs are sort of thick wood and I don't see how leaves could grow on that.
The Inkberry Holly shrubs are too high relative to the shrubs in front of them, aesthetically speaking. I could trim the Inkberries low, but then that would really just leave woody sticks showing, not very many leaves.
Nashville, TN
I found my answer:
"Inkberries are notorious for becoming leggy with age, as they lose leaves on the lower stems. Even the more dwarf 'Shamrock' needs renewal pruning to reduce the height and maintain bushiness after it's reached its full size. This can be accomplished by cutting back to 8-12 inches from the ground in March, or by shearing to reduce overall size."
From sustainable-gardening.com
Nashville, TN
All hollies have an abundance of dormant buds along the branches and many are chainsaw pruned about a foot high. If you don't want to see them bare, try pruning (thinning) some of the top out to allow more light to the lower branches.
I would not do any pruning right now. Any new growth will be susceptible to freeze damage. My usual practice for renewal pruning is to fertilize a few weeks beforehand with a common 8-8-8 or 10-10-10 which will allow the shrub to have plenty of nutrition for the expected growth spurt. Wait until about the first of May for warmer weather. By the way, after pruning would be an excellent to replentish mulch.
I might replace these Inkberry Holly shrubs with something else that grows dense in the interior of the shrub and has light green leaves. What would be good to replace it with? Winter Gem Boxwoods?
Yes. The buds are along all the branches. If you cut it back to two inches high, it would put back out. Actually you will not find many, if any at all, that will grow denser in the inside. That's just the nature of the beast. The permanent foliage of evergreens also permanently shades the interior buds.

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > WR > Dorien Bryant
Dorien Bryant Scouting Report
|Purdue Boilermakers
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'10 - 175 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Dorien Bryant, WR, Purdue
Dorien Bryant may be small at 5'10" and 175 lbs., but he is a big time receiver. Bryant led the Big Ten conference in catches per game for the third consecutive season this year. With 82 catches for 871 yards and 8 TDs this season, he also finished his third straight 80 catch campaign. According to an article in the Sporting News, Bryant's 287 career catches now rank him second in Purdue and Big Ten history behind former Purdue receiver Taylor Stubblefield (325). He has averaged 71 yards receiving per game for his career and caught 21 TD passes. Bryant has also proved to be extremely versatile during his career at Purdue. He averaged 28.5 yards per kick return this season, including a 98 yarder, one of his two KR touchdowns. Along with his kick and punt return duties, Bryant scored 6 rushing touchdowns during his four year stay in college. With only one career game without a catch, Bryant showed a great deal of consistency on the field. He does occasionally drop an easy catch, but tends to always hang onto the tough ones. He has the potential to be an excellent slot receiver in the NFL. The senior runs solid routes and could see his stock soar if he can run in the 4.4 range at the combine. Dorien Bryant had an inconsistent week at the Senior Bowl. According to reports from ESPN, he showed polished route running and good return skills, but only in stretches. He caught only 1 pass for three yards during the game. He also returned a kickoff for 19 yards. Bryant didn't hurt his own status, so much as many other receivers improved their own. Dorien Bryant was one of the few Boilermakers who didn't stand out at the NFL combine. Bryant hurt his stock some by running a sluggish 4.53 seconds in the 40 yard dash. That's not an awful time, but it's much slower than expected from a 5'10", 175 lbs. slot receiver. Bryant will need to improve this time at Purdue's Pro-Day on March 7 to get back into the fourth round range. Dorien Bryant was once considered one of the top receivers in this class. However, after poor showings at the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine, he needed to help himself. He did just that by running a much improved 40 time of 4.44 seconds. Bryant is an excellent return man, but his ability to be an effective slot receiver in the NFL is still in question. His pro day workouts helped him some, but he likely won't be drafted until round five.

Thanks for the reply, Chris (and David). I will try your suggestions.
What is puzzling me is that "AutoSave after each result" function, which
is supposed to prevent the front end from using up a lot of memory does
not seem to help at all. I see almost no difference in front end memory
usage whether I use it or not.
Also, I don't understand why the Kernel continually uses more and more
memory each time it goes through my loop. I thought that once the
Kernal sent the output (a 3-D surface in my case) to the front end that
the Kernal was now done with that memory. But, the Kernal AND the
front end keep consuming more memory with each iteration.
Perhaps I am not understanding something very simple as to how to manage
the memory in the Kernal. Do I need to "flush" the Kernal memory somehow
at the end of each iteration?
Thanks again,
Larry Knight

converting fuel injection to carb in 90, 302 NEED HELP PLEASE
I was wondering if there is a wiring harness or something to eliminate all of the useless wires when you convert over to carburated? I am switching my 302 into a 331 stroker with a 750 dp carb. i am trying to clean up all the wires on the firewall and make it look nice in the engine compartment. I know to run the wires behind the fenders but i just dont know what to keep and get rid of? Any suggestions? All appreciated. Thanks Tommie
As the Moderator of General Rodding Tech.........let me be the first to WELCOME YOU :welcome:
Later model FI is not my in knowledge base....no experience ....but I am sure someone here can help you......
DEUCE........ :thumbup:
You need to get a book with the wiring diagram in it. Go from there.
Curious though, what kind of RPM are you planning to turn that you need a 750 DP? Thats a way too big a carb for a street driven 331, unless you are planning to keep the engine running at about 7000 RPM plus all the time.
What other mods have you made to the engine?
If this is a more or less typical hot street setup, the most you need for a carb is a 600 CFM, and if you are running automatic, a vacuum secondary carb is an almost absolute necessity. A 600 CFM will easily take you out past 7000 RPM. You will find, if this is a street driven vehicle, your lower end power and performance will suffer greatly from running a 750 double pumper.

I used to think quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) was a rather strange ingredient. And I vowed to never post recipes on this blog that call for strange ingredients. But it seems as though quinoa is becoming more commonplace, and I am certain some of you have a bag of it sitting in your pantry and don't know what to do with it. I admittedly let our first bag of quinoa just chill for about six months before I worked up enough courage to try something so unusual and different. It's funny how new ingredients can do that to us.
Long story short quinoa is very similar to couscous. You can eat it plain or add all sorts of seasonings and other fresh flavors to it. And we happen to think this recipe below is a real crowd pleaser. It can be eaten as a side with your lunch or dinner or brought along as the perfect addition to a potluck gathering. We also brought this salad camping the other weekend, and it would work great at an outdoor cookout as well. Trust me – you can't go wrong so just make it, and I promise it will be gone in no time!
Lime-Cilantro Quinoa Salad (pronounced keen-wah)
Adapted from Joy of Cooking
- 3 cups quinoa cooked (or 1 cup dry)
- ¾ cup dried fruit (we used raisins, golden raisins, chopped dried apricots, and dried currants)
- ¼ cup pine nuts toasted
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
Mix all salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
In a separate, smaller bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients.
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix thoroughly.
Can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge.

St. John Collection Textured Tweed Jacket & Skirt
1 Recommendation
lillianb's recommendation
After I graduated from college my dad and stepmom took me to Scotland for a couple weeks. In addition to the glorious scenery ( the green, the ocean, the rocks) and the glorious history, we also did some glorious shopping. My favorite place was this little stone house on the isle of Harris (where they make Harris tweed) I, of course, picked up some tweed. This textured tweed reminds me of the elegant tweeds I saw there. I love the straight skirt that hits at the knee and the slightly Jackie-O jacket. I might be interviewing for jobs again soon, and it's always nice to have a killer suit locked in the closet.

So this morning, on TV, I heard it was panda appreciation week. Later today, I googled it and learned that it's actually just panda appreciation week on Good Morning America. Too late. I already had little black and white bears stuck in my head.
And in order to get it out of my system, I think there's only one thing we can do: take ourselves through the day of a wee little baby panda. Indulge me, won't you?
Rise and shine.

Managing Lolo Creek Complex Fire generates massive organization
LOLO, Mont. - Managing a fire the size and status of Lolo Creek Complex is a massive and expensive undertaking. In less than a week, costs have risen to $2.5 million.
Helicopters lift off from the temporary helibase, almost spitting distance from the fire. Air attacks play a crucial role in the rugged terrain. But it's expensive.
"The air tankers that drop retardant on the fire," said cost unit leader Kevin Sweeney. "The helicopters that support, that's roughly a million dollars through yesterday."
They are big ticket items. But everything has a price tag.
Feeding hundreds of hungry firefighters and personnel adds up. Sweeney said one day's price tag for breakfast, lunch and dinner was $35,000.
"We can feed up to 2,000 people, 350 an hour, and we provide everything from tents to the dining area," said mobile caterer Carolyn Stewart.
Stewart and her father Tom Stewart operate the business. They have traveled and fed people in many large scale emergencies and disasters. Everything has to be regulation perfect.
Keeping track of all that, and reams more stuff are workers that line the community events hall-turned operations center. There, you see scores of workers and their computers.
"We make sure all equipment is paid," said finance section chief Shirley Ehmann, "all personnel is paid. I work with the hosting agencies for their needs."
Here, they make maps and formulate game plans for managing the 9,500-acre fire that has taken Lolo by storm.

But first, I thought I would start with a patriotic red, white and blue toast for breakfast, since Independence Day is this week. I topped a piece of whole-wheat cinnamon raisin toast with peanut butter, banana slices, raspberries, blueberries and had a glass of milk on the side.
I am excited about getting together with friends and family for a cookout to celebrate the Fourth. What do you have planned?

The nation's debate over stricter background checks on gun purchases pulled into an Akron city park, where speakers advocated for change Wednesday while a countergroup, some armed with rifles, waved an American flag nearby in a peaceful protest.
The "No More Names: National Drive to Reduce Gun Violence" at Grace Park brought out politicians, victims and several dozen supporters of legislation requiring background checks for some firearm purchases.
The 25-state bus tour by the group "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" targets background checks for private sales, such as those that take place routinely at local gun shows, flea markets and on the Internet.
The speakers primarily aimed their remarks at Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who voted against expanding gun-purchase background checks last spring and thus helped strike down the measure.
Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic told the audience that Portman "repeatedly misstates the facts about sensible gun safety measures" and that change is long overdue, as evidenced by the number of mass shootings and other gun-related deaths across the country.
"We actually should have done something a long time ago. But we have a moral imperative to do something right now," Plusquellic said.
At the corner of North Prospect and Park streets were a countergroup of citizens who support Portman and fear changes would further trample their Second Amendment rights.
Several protesters had unloaded rifles flung over their shoulder as they carried signs in a peaceful counterprotest. The group was not permitted into the park because of their weapons.
Brett Pucillo, a Kent resident and a member of Northeast Ohio Carry, brought his Smith & Wesson AR-15 to Akron in protest of the gun law rally. He said the common criminal would ignore any universal background check laws and that common citizens would be burdened.
He added that the proposed legislation is meaningless without a national registration.
Pucillo further cited statistics released by Portman's office that contend just 2 percent of criminals obtained their firearm from a gun show or flea market.
He said the expanded background check legislation is political, reactionary and weak.
"It's a feel-good law, it's an emotionally based law," Pucillo said. "They say, 'How can you not want background checks? How can you not want to prevent gun crimes?'
"We absolutely do. That's why we want to be armed. We want to protect our children and the community. As it is now, the laws they're trying to enact are not the answer."
Gun dealers are now required to perform background checks, but the failed measure would have extended the checks to sellers on the Internet and gun shows.
Since the vote failed in the U.S. Senate, Portman has defended his stance in a series of press releases and statements from staff members opining that newer background check requirements would have "no meaningful impact on the unacceptable level of daily gun violence" in Ohio.
But speakers at the Akron stop disagreed. They said Portman's vote ran counter to the 83 percent of Ohioans who they say supports comprehensive background checks. They said requiring the checks at gun shows and flea markets is a "common sense" approach to America's violence crime problem.
Speakers at the hourlong event included Nick Walczak and Nate Mueller, who were injured during the Chardon High School shooting.
Mueller pushed Walczak's wheelchair toward the podium before the two addressed the audience.
"The only reason why our lives were changed was because of senseless gun violence," Walczak said. "Background checks could have changed that."

LIFESTYLE — 31 May 2012
I think Weezy's feelings are hurt. He wasn't allowed in the building tonight to watch the Spurs visit the Thunder. So he took to Twitter to let us know about it:
Was going to go to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena. Wow. Smh. Go Spurs!
According to TMZ, a rep from the Thunder told them,
"We did not deny him," adding, "His representatives contacted us about court side tickets and we told them we are completely sold out."
Sorry I wasted your time with this.

Female boxer and male boxer puppy - questions
Hi! I am new to this forum - I love what I have read so far. Anyway, can someone tell me what is and is not appropriate behavior for a female adult boxer and a male boxer puppy? Just got the puppy on Friday. We introduced them outside. Maggie learned to and does play quite roughly with the two big neighbor dogs. It seems she is NOT wanting the puppy around her food bowl . . . .we used to keep her food out all the time. Now we take it up. She growls if puppy comes up to her when she has a toy in her mouth, but lets puppy have toy if she is not using it. She has snipped at him twice with big growl after he was jumping at her and I think a puppy tooth caught her, and when he stepped on her when she was laying down. Outside, she is disinterested in him while he is jumping all around her like a rabbit and really wanting her to play. We are staying out of it, hoping they will work it out. When the snip w/growl occurred, I just yelled and it stopped with puppy running under table. Does this sound normal? Thanks for any and all help!!!

Hello and welcome from Texas
THis sounds like resource guarding. You need to feed the dogs seperately. In a crate even better. Until they can learn to share the toys keep them up and away from the two when they are together. Bones, balls, stuffies whatever it is. And yes it means the toys are out of the way. You have to teach the older one to share and the younger one to respect the older one. That they will have to work out on their own. It will take presistance, patience and time and it can workout. Make sure to never leave the two alone without watching them. it only takes a second and she can hurt the puppy badly. You can work on them with treats from time to time. make them sit and stay and give each one a treat, a small quickly eaten one. Eventually she will see that he isn't there to take all her stuff. Also never crate them together. Good luck.

I guess I got lucky. Pheona doesn't mind if Murphy gets close to her dish or the toys. We watch them when they eat (they are not next to each other) so we can make sure that Murphy doesn't get into Pheona's bowl. Pheona doesn't mess with Murphy's stuff. When we feed them though, we always put Pheona's dish down first & release her from a sit/stay to eat. Then we make Murphy sit/stay and then release her to eat. It seems to be working in our house.

I never feed my three dogs close together. One eats in the dining room, and the other two eat, facing away from each other on opposite sides of the kitchen. I also make mine each sit while I put the bowl down, and also to wait a few seconds before they're allowed to eat. I would definitely put the toys away for now, until they get better used to each other, and I'd feed them in different rooms. If either one invades the other's space during feeding time, I'd feed them in their crates. I'd play with them separately for awhile.
Your older dog is feeling a little displaced, it seems to me (real or imaginary; it doesn't matter in her mind). Make sure you feed her first, every time. When giving treats to both, give the older dog her treat first. They keep track of things like that! I always feed my dogs in the order I got them, and they're okay with that. Dempsey came into the household last, so he has to wait the longest, by a minute or so. At every meal, he runs to his spot and waits, drool pouring out of his mouth!

getting a bit better
Thank you for all replies. I am feeding the older one first - she had been used to having her bowl full all day. She doesn't mess with the puppy food. Made some progress playing yesterday - Maggie (adult) actually initiated play with Angus (puppy). She plays quite rough and Angus didn't know what to make of it. Still has to have toy in her mouth playing keep away and growling. If I discipline that, doesn't that make her displaced from alpha role and teaching puppy? Please let me know, we don't want to encourage the wrong things. Maggie was playing with puppy, just growled when puppy went to her mouth when any toy is there. If toy on ground, no issue. Thanks!!

The apartment exceeded my expectations it was well furnished, comfortable and the air-conditioning was great !!! It had everything you could need in the kitchen either to cook for a group or just a snack.
Everyone who saw the apartment friends, family who were there to attend a wedding were very impressed and a couple even asked for contact details. I would visit Cascais again and I would definitely stay at this apartment.
Fernando & Maria are lovely people and very helpful from my first contact with them up to my checking out. A lovely holiday, many thanks.
Very comfortable and supremely well equipped. Fernando and Maria couldn't have been more helpful. Ask Fernando about the restaurant less than 5 mins walk away ; one of the best ever and VERY reasonable.
This luxury two bed/two bathroom apartment was perfect for our recent stay. It had everything - spotless, spacious, very well appointed and had all the essentials including wifi. It was a home from home for us and we looked forward to returning here each evening after a beach day or sightseeing trip.
The apartment is prox 15 minutes walking distance to the Centre of Cascais which is full of fabulous restaurants, particularly fish restaurants.
While in the area we took a trip to Lisbon via train and a day trip to Sintra via bus. Sintra is a must when visiting this area.
A huge thank you to Fernando and Maria the owners of this property who arranged our transfers and greeted us on arrival. They took time to show us around the apartment and were at the end of the phone if we needed assistance or guidance.
We had a wonderful holiday and would highly recommend this apartment to family and friends. We will definitely be back.

text: We had two good runs at each other. First was the 20mph roll in which he just pulled no more than his hood on me up to about 100mph. Next was from a light he slept and I took off, there was no contest. He runs low 13's so I;m sure in the 1/4 he would still win but it was cool hearing him say that I was right there with him. He is running lid,cutout, and mid tube headers(02M6). I have to thank the up/dp combo and 16psi.

Our trusty steed (2 of 10)
When we got on, our pilot -- whose ID badge was hanging around his neck from a WWJD? strap -- informed us that our helicopter was enjoying its very first day in operation. Nothing gets you nervous like the knowledge that you're flying untested machinery. Luckily, Jesus seemed to be on our pilot's side.

For the full year, the Company earned $1.86 per share representing a 7% increase. We provided earnings guidance a year ago on this call, wherein we said we would earn between $1.79 and $1.89 per share for the year and I am pleased to report we finish in the upper half of that range. We also exceeded $8 billion in sales for the first time in Company history, ultimately reaching $8.2 billion for the full year, up 4%.
