Synopsis :
The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related
Description :
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200706-03
(ELinks: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)
Arnaud Giersch discovered that the 'add_filename_to_string()' function
in file intl/gettext/loadmsgcat.c uses an untrusted relative path,
allowing for a format string attack with a malicious .po file.
Impact :
A local attacker could entice a user to run ELinks in a specially
crafted directory environment containing a malicious '.po' file,
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running ELinks.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.

Cedar Key attorney and author Pierce Kelley recently spoke at the Taylor County Public Library about his most recent book, "A Deadly Legacy," a historical fiction novel set among the Osage Tribe of Native Americans. He told those in attendance that he was inspired to write the novel by a Native American friend who is a member of the Osage Tribe. Kelley has written a number of novels, including "Fistfight at the L and M Saloon," "Bocas del Toro," "Roxy Blues" and "A Very Fine Line." The program was hosted by the Friends of the Taylor County Public Library.

· Granta's Best of Young British Novelists 2003 is out now. In his introduction the editor, Ian Jack, shares with us some of the emails that whizzed back and forth between the judges (while politely omitting to mention the authors under discussion).
One of them goes: "An excruciatingly self-conscious writer, but I believe if she could shake herself free of Eng Lit she could be very good." Ouch. Who could it be? The judges read 139 books, 62 of them written by women, so that narrows it down a bit. On the other hand one of Hilary Mantel's emails is truly heartening, in a back-handed kind of way: "How did this book come to be 'the most eagerly-awaited debut of 2002'? Awaited by whom and on what grounds? I am hoping that we discover some person who has been toiling in silence and obscurity, unawaited by anyone except his mum."
Perhaps this was the case for Adam Thirlwell and Monica Ali, neither of whom had been published when they joined the ranks of the Best of Young British Novelists in January. An excerpt from Ali's Brick Lane (due out from Doubleday on June 2) appears in the magazine, while Thirlwell (whose novel Politics is published by Jonathan Cape on August 28) has come up with a new story, "The Cyrillic Alphabet".
· The French philosophers Jean Baudrillard and Jacques Derrida met in Paris recently to debate the question "Pourquoi la guerre ?" In The Gulf War Did Not Take Place (1991) Baudrillard dismissed the first Gulf War as a mere simulacrum, a war of words and images in newspapers and on TV. This infuriated many, not least Christopher Norris who responded with Uncritical Theory: Post-modernism, Intellectuals and the Gulf War. Just because we live in an era of competing media narratives, he argued, doesn't mean there is no "truth" to be had or that civilians and soldiers didn't die.
In The Spirit of Terrorism (2002) Baudrillard could at least admit that 9/11 happened, though he also said that in some way, because we had all dreamed of the destruction of America's global hegemony, we somehow willed 9/11 into being and were seduced by the spectacle.
In discussion with Derrida, he repeated his point that 9/11 was a "major symbolic event", but added that we need to understand the war on terror as a version of the dialectic of master and slave. Derrida hoped we might one day escape from the simplistic opposition of "right" and "might" and saw 9/11 as a "symptom" of globalisation. He also listed some key political concepts that need to be deconstructed, such as "terrorism", "democracy", "enemy" and "war". War today, he said, has always already begun - without actually being declared - and is never finished.
"Pourquoi la guerre?" was a kind of homage to the famous Einstein-Freud correspondence of 1933. Freud's response to the question seems as relevant today as it was then. "Wars will only be prevented," he wrote, "if mankind unites in setting up a central authority to which the right of giving judgment upon all conflicts of interest shall be handed over. There are clearly two separate requirements involved in this: the creation of a supreme agency and its endowment with the necessary power. One without the other would be useless. The League of Nations is designed as an agency of this kind, but the second condition has not been fulfilled." IP

Canonical XML lets you create a physical representation of an XML document that allows for the variations in XML syntax without changing the meaning. Discover more about this standard method, which is useful for testing and digital signatures, among other things.
Canonical XML Version 1.0 [W3C Recommendation] is a standard method for generating a physical representation of an XML document, called the canonical form, that accounts for the variations allowed in XML syntax without changing meaning. For example, attribute order in XML is insignificant, so if one document has all its attributes sorted in alphabetical order and another is the same except that its attributes are sorted in some different way, then both documents are identical as far as XML 1.0 is concerned, despite the difference in the physical representation. This presents some practical problems. For example, say you want to have a digitally encrypted signature of a document to ensure that it isn't tampered with. A rearrangement of the attributes would break the signature, even though as far as XML standards are concerned, the document has not really changed. The solution is to convert documents to canonical form (a process called "canonicalization (c14n)") before signature, text comparison, or any other such operation. This ensures that changes insignificant in XML will be correctly accommodated. Work has begun on Canonical XML 1.1 [in development], which addresses several important problems with the 1.0 specification.
Sometimes the XML that needs to be compared or signed is actually just a portion of a bigger document. Even then, c14n generally must account for the entire source document in order to handle details such as namespace declarations. If you require c14n to be strictly limited to a document subset, then you must use the related algorithm Exclusive XML Canonicalization Version 1.0 [W3C Recommendation].

Sorry - spelled Brommeland wrong.
Some time ago I purchased a Max Con V from Gary for my Glock27.
Shortly after receiving it I called Coal Creek to purchase a Max Con V
for my Glock 23 and found out something I did not know.
They did not have a model 23 in stock, but assured me that the model for the Glock22 would fit the Glock 22,23,&27 so I purchased it and they are right & it was delivered in 4 days.
My Glock23 & 27 fit into the model 22 holster just fine. I compared the Max Con 22 with the Max Con 27 and side by side they are the same exact out side dimensions. The pocket for the gun is naturally some what longer on the model 22 then the 23 & 27. I now have one Holster for three Glocks.
I carry the G23 every day and this holster conceals the 23 under a T- shirt or polo. I carry at about 2:30/3PM and it not only conceals great but is also super comfortable. I can not say enough for Gary's exceptional holsters, he does show his concern for my life by providing a great product at a reasonable price.

Nice! He makes great holsters! I'm jealous!

Some would suggest to use only the gun the holster is intended for, in order to maximize it's life. Maybe some of the holster makers can elaborate. Personally, I'll use a holster for different gun as long as the barrel length difference is less than 1/2" (don't know why?), assuming the same other dimensions such as in G26 vs G19. Anyways...Glad you found a holster that's comfortable.
A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.
-- Sigmund Freud
This theory holds true for several other gun models. 1911s, for example. a 5 inch will accommodate any smaller size. The only potential problem, is the leather at the muzzle end getting soft and supple. The retention isn't there, so it's not a real hazard.

I just bought a Def Con for my 1911 from Coal Creek . It is the best holster that I have so far . I am waiting for a eagle defender from KD , I will let you know in about 5 more weeks how I like it . I have bought a couple holsters from UBG , that I don't like as much as my Bianchi or Galco .
I have one of Gary's Premium Def-Cons for my Kahr P9. In my view is that it is the best OWB I have seen, and I have some holsters by acknowledged top makers.
I also admit that when you get to that level of skill and perfection, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
JerryM it was for a 4 to 4 1/2" barrel .
I am also waiting for a Laredo Defender from Kevin. It will have a body shield, which is the only reason I want to replace my current holster. I first ordered an Eagle but having used my Laredo with a G26 I liked it so well I changed.
Let us know what you think of the Eagle.

Lopez returns Feb. 25
By Ricardo Conde
Photo: Thompson Boxing Promotions
Hard hitting featherweight prospect Abraham Lopez (12-0, 10 KOs) of La Puente, CA will step back into the ring against veteran Felipe "La Avispa" Almanza (18-21-4, 9 KOs) of Colombia on Friday, February 25th at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, CA which is being headlined by junior welterweight Jose "El Niño" Reynoso (13-3-1, 2 KOs) of Riverside, CA defending his WBC Caribbean Boxing Federation junior welterweight title against Santos Pakau (27-6-2, 10 KOs) of New Zealand in a 10-round bout and is being presented by Thompson Boxing Promotions.
"I'm very excited about getting back in the ring; this is my first fight since I had my hand surgery," said Abraham Lopez. "Everything is going great and I'm just ready to get back in there. I know we're going to have a great year thanks to my manager Frank Espinoza and my promoters Gary Shaw and Thompson Boxing," continued Lopez.
Also, in action that night will be highly talented junior featherweight Efrain Esquivias, Jr., (11-0, 7 KOs) of Carson, CA taking on Shawn "Bones" Nichol (5-2, 5 KOs) of Lakewood, CO and Artemio "King" Reyes (9-1, 8KOs) of Colton, CA against Francisco "Panchito" Rios Gil (17-15, 12 KOs) of Mexico in a 6-round welterweight bout.
In his last outing, Abraham Lopez defeated Willshaun Boxley (6-8-1, 4 KOs) in July at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California after his opponent did not come out to begin the fourth round.

Feticide and Criminal Law: Is There an Acceptable Approach?

Feticide and Criminal Law: Is There an Acceptable Approach?
Ives, Zachary
Does the state have an interest in extending its criminal law to protect developing fetuses and the pregnant women who cany them? If so, should conduct that causes the death of a fetus be criminalized? Although some American jurisdictions share answers to these questions, their approaches differ. Many American jurisdictions have answered these questions affirmatively, criminalizing the killing of fetuses, but their approaches to the problem are disparate. Of those American jurisdictions that classify the killing of a fetus as a form of homicide, some classify it as murder, while others classify it as manslaughter. Some have criminalized it through legislation, some through judicial decisions. Some use their criminal law to protect all fetuses. Others protect only viable fetuses or quick fetuses. Still others have statutes that define the crime as assault on a pregnant woman. Many American jurisdictions have not extended their criminal law to protect fetuses or to provide special protection for pregnant women. In those states, the law provides no additional criminal penalty for the killing of a fetus or the assault on a pregnant woman. Space limitations make a comprehensive description, analysis, and evaluation of the approaches impossible. Rather than attempting a superficial discussion of each approach, this paper describes, analyzes, and evaluates the three basic approaches. The three approaches are: killing a fetus is not a crime under the common law born alive rule, killing a fetus is a form of criminal homicide, and killing a fetus is a criminal assault on a pregnant woman. Because there is little variation among the states that adhere to the born alive rule, the paper will use legal sources from more than one jurisdiction in the course of discussing that rule. Although selection of one jurisdiction to represent the homicide jurdictions was difficult, California is the best choice because the law of that state is both influential and developed. This paper will use New Mexico law to represent the assault jurisdictions, mostly because the author and the potential readers have a special interest in the law of that jurisdiction. Following the description and evaluation of the three approaches, the conclusion makes recommendations in light of the discussion.

- - Gingerbread cookies (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/provisioning/94569-gingerbread-cookies.html)
Gingerbread cookies
I am testing this recipe today. This is the second Gingerbread recipe I am testing.
I have found if it's gonna be a rough day on the water, a couple of nice soft gingerbread cookies does the trick for me.
I do hope they come out like the ones I used to enjoy from Kroger's, they quit selling them:(
24Servings Size5inch t ...
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup molasses
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (optional)
1In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves until well blended.
2In a large bowl (KitchenAid's great for this) beat butter, brown sugar, and egg on medium speed until well blended.
3Add molasses, vanilla, and lemon zest and continue to mix until well blended.
4Gradually stir in dry ingredients until blended and smooth.
5Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic and let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
6(Dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, but in this case it should be refrigerated. Return to room temp before using.) Preheat oven to 375°.
7Grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
8Place 1 portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface.
9Sprinkle flour over dough and rolling pin.
10Roll dough to a scant 1/4-inch thick.
11Use additional flour to avoid sticking.
12Cut out cookies with desired cutter-- the ginger bread man is our favorite of course.
13Space cookies 1 1/2-inches apart.
14Bake 1 sheet at a time for 7-10 minutes (the lower time will give you softer cookies-- very good!).
15Remove cookie sheet from oven and allow the cookies to stand until the cookies are firm enough to move to a wire rack.
16After cookies are cool you may decorate them any way you like.
17I usually brush them with a powdered sugar glaze when I am in a hurry, but they look wonderful decorated with Royal icing.
Gingerbread Scones
I will be testing this one too
Gingerbread Scones
■1/3 C. milk
■1/3 C. light molasses
■2 C. all purpose flour
■2 tsp. baking powder
■1/4 tsp. baking soda
■1 tsp. ground cinnamon
■1 tsp. ground ginger (I will probably increase this to 1.5 tea ginger)
■1/4 tsp. ground cloves
■7 Tbs. cold unsalted butter, cut up
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Measure milk in a glass cup measure; add molasses to the 2/3 C. mark and stir to blend. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers, until mixture looks like fine granules. Stir milk mixture and add. Stir with a fork to form a smooth, rather soft dough. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and give 10-12 kneads.
Cut dough in half. Knead each half briefly into a ball, turn smooth side up, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Pat each piece of dough into a 5 inch circle; cut into 6 or 8 wedges; leave sides touching. Bake about 10 minutes, or until medium brown. Do not overbake. Cool, loosely wrapped in a cloth, on a wire rack.
Yield: 12 or 16 triangles
Re: Gingerbread cookies
Are you using special butter?
Re: Gingerbread cookies
I have omitted the salt on the cookie recipe because I am using salted butter.
The second recipe does not call for salt so I guess we will see.
My preference is Organic butter.
And in the words of Julia Childs;
"You must start with the freshest ingredients!"
So my butter is fresh!!:)
Re: Gingerbread cookies
I am also using organic unbleached flour.
Let us know how the gingerbread cookies turn out. I've been looking for a good recipe.
Re: Gingerbread cookies
The rule of thumb is that a stick of salted butter has roughly 1/4 teaspoon of salt per stick. Exact amounts differ between manufacturers.
So in the first recipea you might be a little over salted, but not terrible (1stick=8tbs). The second is weird. Not having any salt in baked goods generally results in them tasting flat and a little off. For the second recipea the molasses will have a little, but far less than I would expect. I would probably add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to it.
Re: Gingerbread cookies
I substituted 1 cup whole wheat flour for one cup organic unbleached all purpose flour.
And as soon as the gingerbread cookies and gingerbread scones are done, I will give you my opinion. :) I'm hoping too.
Re: Gingerbread cookies
Thank you for the info though, it should come in handy.:)
Re: Gingerbread cookies
Ahh, I thought you were using salted for the first batch, and unsalted for the second... No idea why.
But salted butter has about what I suggested you add anyway, so it should work out. Just please never bake cookies without salt, they tast flat, and not nearly as sweet as they should. It's weird, but salt actually makes sweet things tast sweeter, and bitter things taste less bitter.

Under pressure from the media companies.

And here:
This doesn't bother me much, though, because it seems likely that once Hulu starts charging people, they'll go under and another site will crop up, probably done by pirates.
Like Blinkx:
It's really funny. Apple files a patent to put ads into their OS, the Xbox 360 already has ads in it... And Hulu is going to charge for content... So... Companies that sell products and services want to include ads, and companies that make money from ads want to start charging additional fees!
The preponderance of greed is so annoying. Hopefully, consumers won't stand for it. It'd be really screwed up, for instance, to have to pay $200+ for Windows 7, and then have ads in the OS, on top of that! Built-in adware! What nonsense.

We were warned: The Lexus IS F price was expected to rise - and it has.
5 June 2009
By MARTON PETTENDY
LEXUS shocked fans and rivals of its mould-breaking compact sports sedan when it announced a launch price of $129,000 (and an even lower $126,500 without a sunroof) for its IS F in Australia last November.
Just as it had warned then, however, a price increase was inevitable due to the relationship between the Australian dollar and Japanese yen, which now sees the IS F's asking price rise by $3250 or 2.52 per cent to $132,250 from June 1.
While that moves it further ahead of Audi's new, slightly milder S4 sedan ($118,900), the IS F remains more than $20,000 more affordable than its most direct rival in BMW's M3 sedan ($152,300) and more than $12,000 cheaper than the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG sedan ($144,365).
Lexus Australia says the IS F has been a smash hit here as well as globally, with its deliberately small allocation of around 10 examples per month being snapped up before they arrive, and official VFACTS sales figures showing 51 have been sold Down Under since deliveries began this year.
The IS F wasn't the only Lexus model to increase in price from June 1, however, with the new RX350 luxury SUV rising by $1000 at entry-level Prestige and mid-range Sports levels, and the flagship RX350 Luxury increasing by $2000 or more than two per cent.
Just three months after its local launch, when the redesigned RX arrived with prices increases of at least $4000, the latest hikes see the all-auto RX350 range now priced at $82,900, $89,900 and $96,900 respectively, with the second-generation RX450h hybrid set to join the range later this month.
In other June 1 pricing movements, Morgan has put a $375,000 pricetag on its upcoming Aero SuperSports hardtop convertible ($384,000 for the auto).
Finally, Mitsubishi has discontinued the entry-level LS version of its Grandis people-mover. The demise of the $41,590 LS sees the Grandis line-up now open with the VRX, which continues unchanged at $44,950.

The hiccup, I was told, was because my reservation was under a group block and didn't show up under a normal name search. There was a room ready for me, but I was left wondering how such an oversight could occur in a technology with such great potential.
This anecdote is a few years old, and self-service technology has matured significantly since. I've used check-in kiosks many times since without a single snag. But it's potential scenarios like mine that have led Omni Hotels & Resorts to take a different approach to self-service check-in. Members of their loyalty program can check-in via their mobile phone, and an alert is sent to the hotel where associates confirm the reservation before the guest arrives. A welcome kit with a room key is ready for pick-up at a designated reception area, allowing the guest to bypass regular registration. If there's any issue with a reservation, hotel associates can address it before a guest arrives.
Omni's approach is a great example of how self service can migrate into environments that demand "high-touch," and also reminds us that self-service continues to expand. Now if only there was a solution to those airport delays.

The same compounds that make people cry when slicing into an onion may also make them a healthy choice.
My mom's recipe for beef stew is one that has been with me since I was a child. I still remember how the ingredients looked on the counter as she prepared it.
You're never too busy to throw on a pot of lentils. Here's how to cook dinner in under 20 minutes.
Despite its status as a Midwest holiday staple, Green Bean Casserole didn't originate in the Midwest. Dorcas Reilly created it in 1955 in New Jersey.
Don't worry, these pickles won't be overwhelmingly hot (as long as you remove the seeds and pith from the serranos).
This super easy soup will have you warmed up on these winter nights in no time.
This simple side dish would work well as a bed for grilled salmon or as filler for a sandwich.
In a recipe season inundated with roasted roots and tubers, try something fresh!
This superfood is prepared in a super-simple way, with caramelized onions and plenty of garlic.
Vegetarians can enjoy the food at a cookout with these easy hobo potatoes.
This is not a raw salsa. We're going to roast these vegetables off and get them a little carmelized.
In anticipation of Easter next week, we're doing eggs three ways in the podcast. And a local Community Kitchen eagerly awaits spring.
Executive Director Vicki Pierce credits the entire community, including home gardeners, for donating fresh and seasonal foods to the Community Kitchen.
Did you have a bad experience eating livers as a kid? This dish might change your mind. We're cooking local lambs' livers very simply.
I have adapted this recipe, adding in agave syrup, taking out the eggs, making my own buttermilk from soymilk and turning it gluten-free.
Experiment with cooking beans from dry for this recipe. You can inject a lot of flavor this way.
This vegetarian soup is hearty enough to eat as a meal. Use water instead of stock and it's also vegan-friendly!
In addition to the three marquee ingredients, coffee adds some zing to this chili.
If you find yourself in a bit of a bind and you have to cook something great, all you need are onions, carrots and celery to save the day.
You want to avoid pesticides but you're on a budget. The "Dirty Dozen" to the rescue!

Hello there. My name is Sloane. Four months ago, my life changed completely. I fell in love with a boy who was twenty plus years my junior. I had just turned forty-five and thought any chance of finding true love had long pass me by. Life had other plans I guess. Me and this boy fell for each other pretty fast, and pretty hard. The second time we hung out we ended up having sex. Really,...

Along with having a comfortable bed, Sloane had an equally comfortable couch. I know because that's where we slept last night. We never made it up to her room.

As soon as we got back to her house...

My mind was blank. My body was covered in sweat, with a college student's semen slowly seeping out of my pussy. There was also cum on my face.

Maryland - Hunter Mahan birdied five holes on the front nine to shoot a six-under 65 and take a two-shot lead after two rounds of the PGA Tour's $6.5 million AT&T National tournament on Friday.
With temperatures hovering around 103 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) at the Congressional course, Mahan had the hot stick.
The American finished 36 holes at seven-under-par 135 after shooting an opening round 70.
The 2009 runner-up won twice earlier this year, giving him a total of five career USPGA Tour victories. He is also fresh off a closing-round 61 at the Travelers Championship.
He birdied two of his final three holes to record the best round of the day.
Mahan kept it going on the back nine with six-straight pars before a birdie on the par-five 16th followed by another on the par-four 18th.
"When the conditions and the weather come into play, it's a whole other factor," Mahan said.
"I've got to stay mentally tough. Once your mind goes, the body is going to go with it. It's very important to be mentally strong.
"We've got two more days of this, so it's going to be important to take care of yourself every night and every day when you're out on the golf course, or it's going to cost you shots."
Brendon de Jonge and Jimmy Walker are tied for second place at five-under after both shot two-under 69s. They were joined by Robert Garrigus, who posted a four-under 67.
Former major winner Stewart Cink shot a three-under 68 to move to four-under-par 138. He shares fifth place with Fiji's Vijay Singh (70), Australia's Rod Pampling (67), American Pat Perez (69) and South Korea's Noh Seung-yul (68).
First-round leader Bo Van Pelt dropped into a tie for 11th at two-under-par 140 after a two-over 73.
Tiger Woods moved up the leaderboard with a three-under 68 to join Van Pelt and two others at minus-two.
Woods, who had an eagle, bogey and two birdies, said he didn't mind the heat.
"I live in Florida where it is not quite this hot but it is definitely more humid every day. I played in other places like Malaysia where it is definitely more hot," said Woods, whose mother is from Thailand.
Woods faced similar sweltering conditions when he blitzed the field at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa to win the 2007 PGA Championship.
"It's one of the reasons why I had success at Southern Hills, because I felt physically fit, didn't have a problem with it (heat)," Woods said.
"I've played some of my good tournaments over the years in Malaysia and other places where it's hot, and certainly fitness, running all those miles and lifting all those weights, it comes into play when you get days like this, and consecutive days like this.
"It's just one of those days where you just stay patient. I shot 68 today, which I thought was a very good score."
Woods won this event three years ago, finishing ahead of runner-up Mahan.
Defending champ Nick Watney of the United States managed a one-over 72 to fall into a share of 19th.
Scores on Friday after the second round of the $6.5 million PGA Tour's ATT National (USA unless noted, par 71):
135 - Hunter Mahan 70-65
137 - Brendon de Jonge (ZIM) 68-69, Jimmy Walker 68-69, Robert Garrigus 70-67
138 - Pat Perez 69-69, Seung-Yul Noh (KOR) 70-68, Rod Pampling (AUS) 71-67, Stewart Cink 70-68, Vijay Singh (FIJ) 68-70
139 - Cameron Tringale 74-65
140 - Bo Van Pelt 67-73, Tiger Woods 72-68, Charley Hoffman 72-68, Marc Leishman (AUS) 70-70
141 - Martin Laird (SCO) 72-69, Jason Day (AUS) 69-72, Ryan Palmer 74-67, Jhonattan Vegas (VEN) 71-70
- J.B. Holmes 72-70, John Mallinger 70-72, Nick Watney 70-72, Bobby

8 Germy Things You Should Never Touch! Ewww!
Don't touch that!
Or as mom used to say, "Don't touch ANYTHING!"
On average, you touch as many as 30 things a minute...light switches, door knobs, phone receivers, your remote. But, at home, you can at least try to keep those germs at bay. Not so easy when you go out to dinner, grocery shop or visit the doctor's office.
Here are the 8 things the experts say you should be wary of touching...
1. Restaurant menus. How many hands have been on one of those? Do menus ever get washed?
2. Lemon wedges. Or orange slices. Could have MICROBES! Yucch!
3. Condiment dispensers.
4. Restroom door handles. Did that person in front of you wash up?
5. Soap dispensers. Yeah, it's soap, but how about around the edge?
6. Grocery carts. 2/3 of them tested for... Just listen today and we'll tell you more...
7. Airplane bathrooms. Many travelers, few sinks.
8. Doctor's offices.
If some of these seem strange, just listen this morning and we'll scare your head near clear off.
And, wash your hands. DaveT

Great music and singing. 😉
Wow, fabulous singing and playing.
Congratulations on your silver certificate! Did you just enter with your song, or were there other classes to enter too?
We took part in our local music and speech festival this week too, The Wensleydale Tournament of Song. Some members of class 2 & 3 travelled to the nearby town of Leyburn to recite poems. It is quite a scary experience to perform in front of a large audience!
How many people did you have to perform in front of? Do you regularly enter this festival? It sounds like fun, and your singing/accompanying was fabulous!
Mrs M
Thank You Harry,
The song was called Zip-A-Dee-Dah.
Brilliant Singing!
What's the song called?

Over the past six months, I have been blessed with the experience of dealing with two of the NRL's truly great players.
On behalf of the Panthers, I explored every avenue available to try and attract Johnathan Thurston from the Cowboys and Todd Carney from the Sharks.
I found these lads to be outstanding young men. I thoroughly enjoyed every conversation and learned so much more about them as people, rather than just admiring their football ability from a distance. I will forever remember the respect they showed the Panthers and the honesty and integrity with which they handled these negotiations.
In the end, both boys decided to remain with their clubs. I went into negotiations with eyes wide open, knowing this could be the final result. However, on behalf of the Panthers and our fans, I considered it my responsibility to put a strong case for our club in case there was a chance that either were interested in a change of scenery.
I also wanted to show our fans and all elite players just how serious we are at Penrith about the club we want to create.
In the next 10 years, the Panthers will be the biggest and best NRL club in the country. The day will come when players are knocking the door down to be a part of our club. But for now we are working hard behind the scenes to create something that will be really special for the people of western Sydney.
The foundations are in place and I have the utmost confidence in Penrith as an emerging regional city and Panthers Group as an organisation realising its true potential.
It has been a tough couple of years but internally the resilience has been high and the motivation to create something special will not be denied. But back to these two greats.
As Jonathan Thurston was considering his options, media reports were suggesting the Cowboys were filthy with me for trying to lure their star player away. Actually, nothing could've been further from the truth.
I have great respect for Cowboys chairman Laurence Lancini, a tremendous man and an asset to rugby league in North Queensland, and we traded messages during this time. Laurence indicated his understanding that this was business and if he was in my shoes he would be doing exactly the same thing. In return, I told him that the Panthers needed a player of Jonathan's profile and I felt duty-bound to pursue any possibility.
I assured Laurence that never at any time did I try to encourage Johnathan to leave the Cowboys, but if JT was looking to move back to Sydney, I wanted to state a strong case for the Panthers.
I also told Laurence that during all my discussions with Johnathan, he was extremely complimentary of the Cowboys and indicated his great appreciation for what the club had done for his career.
Thurston is a credit to himself and his club. The change in this young man over the past few years has been nothing short of extraordinary. We have all seen the way he interacts with fans and particularly with the younger kids.
Aside from his obvious football talent, JT would have brought so much to our organisation in terms of commercial value and community engagement. This important period of building something special for the future at the Panthers and achieving our objectives of being a leader in western Sydney in community programs would have benefited greatly from a person of Thurston's stature. I saw JT having a significant role with the club and local government for many years after his playing career.
He impressed me greatly with his knowledge of the game and his hunger for improvement. He is a real student of football, just how I like professional players to be. I was also taken by his eagerness to help others less fortunate than himself and become a role model for indigenous kids.
Having said that, I totally respected his decision to remain at North Queensland and I know he will continue to do great things in that part of the world for the remainder of his football career and beyond.
My time with Todd Carney was equally rewarding.
I have no doubt this young man has his best football days still in front of him. Despite some time off with injury this year, some of Todd's football for the Sharks has been brilliant. He is undoubtedly one of the top playmakers in the game.
He has the unique ability to create opportunities for others. He frightens defences with his speed. He can taunt a defensive line with the way he shows and feigns with the ball. He can pass short or long, early or late, fast or slow. He makes teammates look good. He is also prepared to take a hit to eventually get the result he desires. These are the players you need to have in your club.
In my conversations with him, however, I also found a real football brain behind the raw natural talent. Todd knows the game and talks intelligently about his own football and those he opposes.
This kid has a depth to his personality I think few have had the pleasure to see. We have all seen the headlines from his early wild-child days. I have a pretty high tolerance to this sort of thing in kids. I'm not suggesting I'm always right. But I know how much people can grow and how there is always good in all people if you just take the time to look in the right places. What I found with Todd, just like Thurston, was a real motivation to succeed and a determination to become the best he can be. Polite, well-mannered, respectful; it was a pleasure to be in his company.
I wish both Johnathan and Todd all the best for the future and they know they can call on me any time if ever they need assistance.
In the end we didn't secure the services of these great players, but I believe we have made a statement about our club. And we will continue to push the boundaries as we build the club we want to be.
I am extremely excited with the players we have already recruited for 2014.
Jamie Soward is a player I have admired for many years and his football, personality and popularity with the younger generation will be a huge asset to the Panthers.
New Zealand international Elijah Taylor is a special athlete and a unique person. Elijah will be a tremendous asset to the Panthers both on and off the field.
I am also extremely excited about securing a player of the experience and stature of Brent Kite. He will provide great leadership and be the perfect role model for youngsters aspiring to professional football.
The players we recruited for 2013 have also been outstanding for our club and I am deeply indebted to the courage and commitment they have shown to the Panthers. Sika Manu, Dean Whare, Lewis Brown, James Segeyaro and Wes Naiqama all had other clubs and probably easier assignments they could've selected rather than coming to the Panthers, but they believed in what we are creating and are leading by example on and off the field. Their efforts will never be forgotten.
The Panthers have not had much luck with injury so far this season. Already we have used seven players outside our top 25. We have another 10 youngsters we would love to give a few games to in the NRL between now and the end of the season to encourage their development.
I believe our NRL team have played with integrity and dignity in every appearance they have made this year. The wins have been hard to come by, but our boys compete for the full 80 minutes and our opponents at least know they have been in a game of football. All in all, I couldn't be happier with where our football development is at this point in time.
We missed out on JT and Todd Carney but I have been enriched by the experience and our club has made a serious statement. There are definitely better days ahead for the Panthers.
Phil Gould is executive general manager of the Penrith Panthers

In fact, right now, the 38-year-old from Bishop's Stortford is probably the most successful producer/writer in the world, a trusted collaborator with a staggering array of international talent, from Adele to Azealia Banks to Sam Mendes to Quentin Tarantino to Cee Lo Green to Paul McCartney.
When we meet in his Queen's Park studio, near to the house he shares in Brondesbury Park with his wife Danielle, a make-up artist, and 18-month-old daughter Vivienne, Epworth is still glowing from his and Adele's victory at last month's Golden Globes, where they won the Best Original Song award for 'Skyfall'. 'Jennifer Lopez read my name out!' he says. 'I'm just gonna sit with that image for a moment. My wife's had to watch me rewinding the video a few times…' And awards season is not over yet: on the horizon is this month's Oscars, for which the 007 theme tune is also nominated and at which Adele will be performing.
But right now, I am dragging Epworth back to March 2010, and recounting my meeting in an American recording studio with Adele as she worked on the album that would become the world-beating 21. She was smoking and cursing the 80-degree Californian sunshine. 'I can't do the beach,' she wailed, gesturing down the idyllic shore, 'I'm so pale, I'll just melt.'
In London, she and Epworth had already co-written five tracks. 'He helped me finish the songs that were meant to be great but I couldn't make great on my own.' One, 'He Won't Go', was 'the first ballad Paul's ever done. It's about undying love.' It concerns a couple, friends of hers, one of whom was a heroin addict. 'When he was in rehab I was with her the whole time. So I wrote him a song about it… And he's fine, he's been clean for five months.' Epworth was the only man Adele trusted to nail this emotive subject. Another song, possibly 'Rolling in the Deep' (Adele didn't clarify), was even more difficult to complete. She tried to finish the riff 'with four other writers, and they all turned it into something completely wrong. Then Paul just knocked out a track in five seconds.'
'Wow!' whispers Epworth. 'I never knew she actually tried to make that song with other writers.' 'Rolling in the Deep' went on to sell 10.3 million copies and was number one for seven weeks in the US. The album won two Grammys, kick-starting its huge success worldwide — 25 million sales (and still counting). That alone will have made Epworth a multimillionaire (he earns money via 'points' on every copy bought of records he has produced, as well as song co-writing credits). 'I've tried to turn some of the benefits of the success of that record into equipment I can use to make better music,' he says, explaining that he's in the process of moving to a bigger studio. But shiny Audi A5 and slick look notwithstanding, he insists that he is 'not really flash'. 'I'm very private and don't generally socialise with other people in the industry. It makes it too easy to lose your grip on reality.'
Paul Epworth is a music obsessive who always knew he wanted to work with songs. He grew up in small-town Hertfordshire. His father, an electronics engineer, 'was a bit of an audiophile with a good collection of records — old Dylan, early Yes, and a lot of old synthesiser stuff'. His mother, a nurse, 'was into more African stuff, like Black Mambazo, and a lot of soul'. There were always lots of guitars and keyboards lying around (his younger sister Mary is also a musician; she released her debut, 'psych-folk' album last year) and Epworth started playing guitar in his teens. 'I didn't want to do anything else. I didn't have a choice as I'd pretty much given up on education by the time I left school. I set about educating myself with any information I could get on music and recording.'
He performed in small-time indie groups: 'I was in a band called Lomax. We were very, very loud.' But he soon decided that production was more his passion than performing. Aged 18 he enrolled in 'a little college course that showed you the basics of sound engineering' at Islington Music Workshop, and in 1995 landed his first proper job, as a runner/teaboy at Beatles' producer George Martin's AIR Studios in Hampstead.
The mid-1990s were boom times for British music, the high watermark of Britpop. Or, as Epworth says with a grin, 'the Kill Your Friends era', referring to John Niven's best-selling (and soon to be filmed) novel about the drug-crazed record industry. 'Those were funny days,' he acknowledges. Making albums when artists were high on cocaine was no way to secure high fidelity. 'Yeah! Everything has way too much treble on it! I worked on an Oasis record, so I can vouch for that.' That record was 1997's Be Here Now, the follow-up to (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, an album that was infamously recorded in a blizzard of coke. 'That was hilarious. It was a case of everything being as loud as everything else.' He did re-mixes for Shaznay Lewis and The Futureheads and soon became the go-to producer for a clutch of sharp young British guitar groups, including Maxïmo Park, Bloc Party and The Rakes. His work with the last two bands snared Mercury Music Prize nominations. He earned his first writing credits on Kate Nash's number one album Made of Bricks (for which he was nominated for an Ivor Novello award), worked with Plan B on both his albums, and, in 2009, earned two more Mercury nominations for Florence's Lungs and Friendly Fires' self-titled debut. Epworth had lift-off.
As a producer/writer he has no specific sound, method or genre — he's as comfortable working with hip-hop and soul artists (he and John Legend recently wrote a song for the Django Unchained soundtrack; his presentation disc marking 750,000 sales of Cee Lo Green's last album is propped on the floor) as he is guitar outfits (he's currently working on the debut album by the Fleetwood Mac-esque, hotly tipped Californian sister trio Haim).
This musical flexibility, he acknowledges, is part of his strength. 'My tastes are super left field. I come from a much richer musical background than just pop music. So I think my desire to make pop music is always infused with that approach. Like, when Adele first sang me the hook for 'Rolling in the Deep', I was like: "Oh my God! Dr John, Tom Waits, Howlin' Wolf, Captain Beefheart, The White Stripes…" ' Most of his favourite artists are either deceased or 'don't need my help... but from those alive today I'd love to work with Beyoncé and Animal Collective'.
His enthusiasm for his collaborations is uncontainable, even as he's alert to producer/client confidentiality. He spins round to his huge mixing desk and lets me hear an unreleased composition he's written with a soul legend that has been rejected by a major hip- hop producer. And then he plays me, at ear-zinging volume, one of the songs he's written and recorded with Paul McCartney for his next album. It's called 'Struggle', and sounds like Macca's greatest non-Beatles song. But that's not too hard. 'It could be a defining statement for him,' Epworth says of their four-song collaboration, 'especially [considering] where he is in his career…'
Little wonder, maybe, that his own album is taking so long to complete — four years so far. Epworth insists he's '70 per cent' finished on a project that will feature him on vocals alongside unidentified guest singers, and which should finally be released this summer. But he's busy on all fronts — he missed the Golden Globes last month because he had committed to a family holiday in Barbados. 'I work from 11am until 2am five days a week. I'm lucky I have a patient wife who understands the hours and the stresses that go with the politics of the business.'
But back to the other woman in his life. Have he and Adele begun conversations about the follow-up to 21? He says not, but reveals that he'll be on hand at the Oscars, both to meet her four-month-old son Angelo, and to help her through her first public performance since throat surgery forced her to stop touring
18 months ago. 'I've no idea where she wants to go,' he says of her third album. 'If she's thinking about making a record, she hasn't rung me up and said so. But I'd love to do some more with her, I really would.' ES

Textured Ceiling
I have a textured ceiling and it seems that the previous owner did not prepare the ceiling with a proper basecoat primer therefore the entire layer of textured paint is pealing off, down to the sheetrock.
What is the best way to repair this?
Do you want to remove the texture or repair the texture?
Repair it for now.
How do you remove it?
To remove- mist it with water and then scrap it off.
Depends on the texture
Is it "popcorn", sand, or faux ("plaster")
popcorn, thanks
For repair just scrape back loose popcorn and prime area. Get a popcorn in a can. I think Homax makes it. Only good for small areas. Get some pushpins and hang plastic from cieling to make youself a little spray booth. Follow directions on the can. Make sure you have the right size popcorn. Bring a bit of scrapings to paint store and have them tell you if unsure.
You will still see the repair unless you paint the whole ceiling. Here you can run into a problem if the whole ceiling is prone to failure. If you roll it out it will peel back. So spraying is the only option. Even then it will make ceiling wet for a while and some more tex might fail.
You really need to have whole ceiling done but if you just want a patch to hold you over till your ready for that then just do the can tex and live with the color difference till your ready to re-tex whole ceiling. I vote for knockdown instead of pop next time.

Lincoln, NE - As Jorge Brian Diaz walked to the free throw line, his team down 69-68 to No. 11 Indiana with 11 seconds left in the game, senior guard Toney McCray walked over to the junior center.
"I told him, we are with you if you make them or miss them," said McCray. "Just go out and do what you do. Just the same routine as always."
That routine has been off kilter the last month. Diaz has continued to struggled with foot problems - which not only benched him for five games, but has left the Puerto Rico native out of practices recently.
"He didn't practice the last two days and it's probably going to be that way," said Sadler. "He's just going to have to step in there and play."
But during his limited availability in practices, Diaz has practiced one thing – his free throw shooting. A 65 percent shooter from the charity stripe, the junior looked calm and collected as Devaney got quiet.
"I knew I had to make those free throws for my teammates," said Diaz. "I tried to go up there with confidence."
His first one – swish.
Timeout Indiana. Game tied at 69 all.
"I just kept thinking that I was going to make them," said Diaz.
Back to the line.
Second free throw – swish.
Huskers with a 70-69 lead. A lead they they would hold on to.
"We have been working hard and knew at some point we had to win," Diaz said after the game. "We know we have a good team and we are going to win some games. So we have to keep working hard and stay together.
"It feels great to win a game and get back to winning."
His feet are usually sore after games – something tells me they weren't as bad after Wednesday night's contest. Pain is easier to deal with after a win.
"It was very clutch. He stepped up there and made them," said Sadler who saw his team earn their second Big Ten win tonight. "You saw six games when he didn't play and it is a different ball team with him in the game."
Next up, No. 6 Ohio State at home on Saturday. The 16-3 Buckeyes demolished the Huskers 70-41 in their first meeting New Years Eve.
But that was a Husker squad that didn't have Diaz or their third leading scorer Dylan Talley off the bench.
Saturday night's matchup will be tough to snatch a win, but at least the Huskers are full strength.
"Having the low post presence will be able to help open some things with our offensive game," Diaz said.
But even more crucial than his presence on offense, Diaz's ability to block or alter shots in the lane – especially against future NBA forward Jared Sullinger.
"It's not going to be easy," said Sadler. "We got a pretty good team coming in here Saturday."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
After a long absence, Rachel Lee-Carman's various zines & postcards are back in stock! Since she does our art design, we didn't feel at home without all her awesome stuff. And if you haven't read the Show & Tell/Shoe & Tail/Offerings of Grace and Mischief series, it's all pretty great and, in my opinion, required reading.
(We also got a few new postcards from her, too!)

Robbery suspect who jumped into the Arkansas River identified
Police say suspected thief was taunting officers before going into the river
PUEBLO, Colo. - Pueblo Police have released new information about a credit union robbery suspect who disappeared after jumping into the Arkansas River Thursday (7/17/14).
The man has been identified Jeffrey Cathcart, 40.
Police released a photo of Cathcart that they said they took as he was taunting officers before he jumped into the water.
The robbery was reported at 1:57 p.m. and happened at the Security Service Federal Credit Union in the 300 block of East Abriendo Ave.
On Friday, police explained how Cathcart apparently robbed the credit union.
"He handed (the teller) a check," said Sgt. Eric Gonzales. "On the back side of it, there was a note written that threatened the teller with her safety."
Police said they chased Cathcart down the river trail. Then, officers told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that Cathcart jumped into the river near the Santa Fe bridge, just above the spillway near the walking bridge.
Investigators said Cathcart then swam to a concrete pillar in the middle of the river where he began taunting officers before taking off his shoes and jumping into the spillway.
Officers said they saw him come back to the surface briefly before quickly being swept into the undertow. They say he never resurfaced.
The fire department's water rescue team spent hours canvassing the river on Thursday and Friday but haven't found Cathcart.
"Obviously we see the result in that he didn't survive. The water is not as fast as it's been throughout the year but it's still plenty fast enough," said Pueblo assistant fire chief Shawn Shelton.
Shelton said it could take rescue teams several days to find the body. Muddy runoff flowing into the river from Fountain Creek will make the search more difficult.
"There's no way you're going to see anything in the water unless something would actually float up to the top," he said.
Police didn't say whether the search for Cathcart will continue this weekend.

Last month, I wrote about how the Port of Long Beach decided to move ahead with its "Clean Trucks Fee," which went into effect February 18. According to the press release, the fee is expected to raise "about $1 million a day or about $1 billion over the next few years at both San Pedro Bay ports to help finance the replacement of many of the 17,000 trucks that are a leading source of air pollution in Southern California." Call this the "tax" approach to enabling a green economy.
I questioned at the time, however, whether these financial projections were realistic considering the sharp decline in cargo volume flowing through the ports. In the first two months of 2009, for example, cargo traffic at the Port of Long Beach is down about 25 percent compared to the same period last year. In response, the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners gave preliminary approval this past Monday (less than a week after the clean trucks fee went into effect) to a package of incentives to increase rail-borne cargo through the Port of Long Beach. Call this the "incentives" approach to job creation/retention.
According to the press release, the Port is proposing two shipper incentives to send rail-hauled cargo through Long Beach:
"In the first incentive, Long Beach would offer a 10 percent rate reduction to terminal operators on wharfage fees for all rail-hauled cargo coming through the Port. This would be about $4 to $6 per container, and would cost the Port about $11 million for the one-year life of the program."
"In the second incentive, the Port of Long Beach would offer $20 to ocean carriers for each additional rail-hauled 20-foot-long cargo container that they send through the Port. The financial incentive would be $40 for every container longer than 20 feet. Because this would be new cargo, the measure would not add costs for the Port. About 30,000 people in Long Beach and 316,000 in Southern California work in international trade-related jobs, and Commissioners feel the incentives will help to retain those jobs in the region."
Of course, it's a bit unfair to directly compare the clean truck fee with these new incentives because they target different types of freight movements (truck vs. rail). But at a high level, what's happening at the Port of Long Beach is similar to the debate taking place on a national level with the recently-passed "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act": what is the right mix of taxes, incentives, and spending to "stimulate" the economy? I don't think anybody really knows.
The bottom line for shippers: your supply chain costs will likely fluctuate more than usual in the weeks and months ahead. Today, more than ever, you need to stay informed of all the factors influencing your supply chain costs (see "Is It Possible to Accurately Calculate Total Landed Costs?"). And if you lack timely, accurate, and complete visibility to these costs, you won't be able to manage them effectively.

Maddon Expects More Production And Consistency With Offense
BY: John Mamola
With spring training literally a few days away, the Tampa Bay Rays are getting set to make a run at another successful year under manager Joe Maddon. The Rays are coming off their third postseason appearance in the last four seasons, however never getting past the American League Divisional series in each of those appearances. One reason many believe the Rays have yet to get "over the hump" is the lack of a consistent offensive attack, something which Joe Maddon expects to improve greatly in 2014 as he spoke with WDAE's 'The Ron and Ian Show' on Tuesday.
"I think you're going to continue to see the 'grind em out' at bats and all these guys are going to continue to get better just because they're good and with a little more experience you'll see more hard contact and more consistency" said Maddon.
The Rays hit a combined .257 last season which was next to last (Yankees) in the American League East, and were next to last as well in runs scored (700) as well in the division. However the motto of pitching and defense wins ballgames for the Rays played well last year finishing with an AL East best 3.74 ERA and allowing the least runs (646) in the division.
Maddon says his jobs remains the same with doing the best with the players he's been given by the franchise, but is happy to see the team spending money this offseason to a record level for payroll around eighty million dollars.

Replace gate valve on well
I want to do some plumbing work near my well.
- Install a valve between the pressure tank and the well.
- Replace the old main gate valve with a new ball valve.
- Re-plumb everything just past the gate valve. I'd like install a manifold and have the three lines coming off the well go into it and install three valves: one on the softened house line, one on the softened animal water line, and one on the raw irrigation line.
I have quite a bit of experience with this type of basic plumbing. My question comes from doing work between the main valve and the well pump. If I cut the power off to the well and open that spigot to drain as much as possible, will the water flow stop to the point where I can cut clean/prime/glue PVC (concerned about "natural" pressure causing small amounts of water to come up even with pump off, not sure if valid concern)? Also, do you recommend replacing the gate valve with a another brass ball valve over using a PVC ball valve?
Thanks :-)
It would be a good choice to change the gate to a ball brass valve for in the long run fewer problems with the brass ball than the pvc ball if the valve has to be closed and opened in the future.
Also while the pvc is open between the ball and the tank tee, put in a union so that you will not have to cut the pvc when pressure tank change is needed.
Good idea on the union.
Anything in regards to working past the valve? Is my concern about water still coming up from the well even with the pump off unfounded?
I did the same thing on our well (only we didn't even have a gate valve to begin with). No problems with water seepage once the breaker was off and pressure tank drained.
And I definitely like brass valves better than PVC.
A PVC ball valve will be very hard to even turn after a few years.
I'd get rid of all that old steel pipe, it's just a leak waiting to happen.
Get those wires in some flexable conduit.
It's also a good idea to have a drain where that pressure tank is so the pressure in the bladder can be checked with no water in the bottom of the tank.
Ok... definite no on the PVC ball valve, got that.
Old steel pipe? I'm assuming you're talking about the pipe coming right off well? Replace it with PVC all the way to that threaded female fitting on the well where the small 3" pipe connects to before it 90's down at a slant? Now we're talking about re-plumbing nearly everything... what's the fitting where the pressure switch screws into called? Same for the pressure gauge?
The wires are part of my planned electrical work next week. It's going to be rewired directly into the pressure switch in flexible conduit. Right now it's wired into a 120V receptacle first which I've discovered is not safe since the neutral ties into the 240V circuit ground. I'll be removing that receptacle.
Drain for the pressure tank? Like a spigot just off of it? So the new setup would look like: tank -> drain -> union -> valve -> main "trunk" pipe?
The "well tee" we bought when we re-did our well has a neat dual-thread on the big openings -- you can screw 1" male into it or 1 1/4" female onto it. The small openings are 1/4", and the medium opening for the relief was I think 3/4"?
Well that's nifty. Thanks for that. I will have a look and see if I can't find that fitting. Some questions:
1. When connecting PVC to the brass valves and to the old steel pipe there's nothing special outside of using teflon tape on the threads, right?
2. I'm going to replace the old steel pipe as suggested with PVC, at least all the way to the tee that you can just make out beneath the blue box in the photo. There's minimal chance of damaging the threads in that tee, right? There's a small amount of discoloration on the threads but I think that's from the high iron raw water we have and not necessarily rust. I'll likely disconnect it from the low end 90 and just rotate the entire portion to get it out of the tee -- if I have enough ground clearance.
3. When going from that steel tee and down, do I have to follow the old slant or can I pretty much route the pipe in any direction at any angle?
4. Let's say Murphy is with me that day and I ruin the threads on that tee. Any idea how I'd replace that, or am I calling in a professional plumber then? I can get a photo of the tee if needed. The top portion of the tee has what looks like might be a pressure relief valve on it. The middle is where that pipe goes into. The bottom is literally sitting right on top of the metal top plate for the well housing -- I can't see what goes into it.

If it was my project, I would leave the steel pipe. It looks to be in good shape
And, if at all possible, eliminate several ells by moving the pressure tank. Raise it and moving it to the left in the pic so that piping lines up with the first ell off of the well head. Also, from experience, I'd be avoiding any threaded female PVC fittings since they're prone to cracking from pipe thread swaging.
Finished this project last week and thought I'd post some followup pictures. No major problems and no leaks.
Removed the unsafe 120V receptacle wired on the 240V circuit for the pressure switch and routed the wires through water tight conduit. The neutral was tied to the ground. Also pictured is a new properly wired 120V GFCI receptacle on a new circuit:
Here's our progress up to the main shutoff. Everything's new past the galvanized pipe. Add a valve and union to the pressure tank as suggested so switching it out is a matter of disconnecting the union and unscrewing the threaded coupling on the tank nipple:
Here's the new valve box. Another goal of this project was to be able to isolate each system off the well. Working on other projects I've cracked the irrigation line between the well and valves at the front of the house. Before I had to cut the entire well off which left the house without water. Now I can cut off just the area I need. The third (middle) line is a future line out for fresh automatic water to the animals on the property:
And finally an overall shot of the changes:
