At the Jan. West Branch membership meeting we will be holding a winching and extraction demonstration.
There will be a video from our Fourwheel Drive Awareness safety training class that will be shown as well.
So if for no other reason than to get valuable safety information you should attend this meeting! So spread the word to all your friends and feel free to post on your favorite forums!

Not sure how many still read MJ, but here is a good post from GLFWDA Vice President Jim Mazolla, about the meeting and direction of GL
The membership voted to continue with the 'paper' version of the Boondocker despite the 20th century movement to electronic versions of documents. There were some who prefered to move forward in a attempt to save the Assn some money. Their gesture was appreciated.
Also, it was decided to propose a membership due's increase. While not under any obligation to do so, It was the feeling of those in atendance that there should be some sort of notification to the general membership of this action so that there could be some discussion before we voted on it. If the general membership thought otherwise, they could have voted on it right then and there. They did not.
It was also decide that the Assn needed to continue to try to find an insurance carrier to support an event insurance policy. We just reciived notification from a new insuance carrier and are in the process of submiting paperwork to receive a quote from them. They, the membership, wanted to see events like D.O.A. and other halo type events to continue for the Assn.
We also did a demonstration on how to safely attach two straps together not using a clevise and only using stick! The last thing we want to see is someone get hurt or even killed as has occured in our community in an all to recent memory.
There were are other decisions made but those were a few off the top of my head.
What wasn't decided on....the S.O.P.'s, not a big deal. Those basically describe the Executive Board positions in detail. Aside from minor 'How the Assn operates' jargon, the only thing of significance in the S.O.P.s would have been the dues increase and that topic was discussed earlier.
A few points to take into account here, As was pointed out,
The Executive Board was in it's first meeting as a group. The membership was there for the first time as an individual based group. I suspect the last thing they (the membership)would have wanted to see was 5 Executive Board members standing up front reciting to them 'How and what this Assn was gonna be and what we were going to do and not do' A bull in a china shop probably wouldn't be the best way for us to present ouerselves at the first meeting. A slightly lower profile was taken in that we asked for input from the members. What do you want us to do?????
With as much uproar there was over 'The few member clubs who always controlled everything the Assn does' and the changing of the base of the organization, I would have expected more out of the group. Maybe the group is just a bit shy??? They shouldn't be, if they, you, want to see something changed, we need to hear from you! Mind reading wasn't requirement for the job so we're all pretty piss poor at it!!
The Executive Board was also trying to lay out the financial situation of our parent Assn (United) so that the members could fully understand why there was a dues increase being asked for.
Was it a long meeting.........hell yes. As a matter of fact, it was also decided to start the meeting 1 hour earlier from now on. I will get a timer for the next meeting so that the agenda items stay on time. However, if the members insist on hearing all about what is happening and having a say, we feel that they need to hear all the facts. Short of that, it's tough to vote on something without all the information.
So on tap for April so far will be the dues' increase, the formal approval of the S.O.P.'s, A report out on what our success was on insurance, whether or not we got the additional trail miles for maintenance, the status of the Paypal fiasco, status of the legal fund, at least two DNR ORV meeting results and lastly a ham radio demonstration that we pulled from the agenda due to time.
I'm not trying to get on a soap box here but remember, the time the Executive Board spends at the Quarterly meeting is only the tip of the iceberg of the time we spend trying to support the Assn and it's overall mission of trying to keep the trails open in Michigan. For example, why do you think the Mounds is still open??? Why do you think Silver Lake has a reasonable noise level requirement? Why do you think you have trails to ride on in Michigan?? Why do you think Tellico is still open??? Why do you think thousands of trail mile out west on BLM land are still available for you to wheel?? Why do you think we are now a respectable recognized Association among the Michigan based State and Federal Land use managers??
Because of Great Lakes Four Wheel Drive Assn and United Four Wheel Drive Assn's.
The few volunteers that do step forward are very much appreciated and respected for their contribution. The problem we have is there just aren't enough to step forward.
I'd like to put what ever hard feelings anyone has or pre concieved notions about who and what G.L. is in the past and focus on the future. As it stands in Michigan today, Great Lakes is the only full sized four wheel drive organization working to try keep trail and use areas open for our use. There isn't another group as consistent or recognized as we are in the state defending full size vehicles.
We'd like to invite everyone to the next Quarterly in April. We'll be hosting it @ Silver Lake Sand Dune on April 9th. We'll have a Hospitality room set up on Saturday night if anyone would like to stop by and say hi.
Here's another challenge to everyone. G.L. does trail maintenance in the spring. Why not come out and do a little trail riding, whack a few trees out of the trail, B.S. with your new friends and have a good time. This isn't tough work. We're on the trail by 9:00 am and off by 4:00 and back at camp around the bonfire by 6:00. So what's so terrible about that??? G.L. will supply the campfire even try to roast a few burgers and dog's for you, ON US!
Dates are on the G.L. calender. http://www.glfwda.org So give it some thought for your spring outing. We sure could use your help and I'm sure you'll appreciate the fact the trail you use all summer long, you actually helped to keep open!

Happy wheeling everyone! TREAD Lightly!

From Our Editors
Not many events can combine puzzles, obstacle races, and charitable giving—all while filling the downtown area with people in gorilla suits. Gorilla Challenge accomplishes all of these things in a single afternoon. With annual events held across the country, it is quickly becoming the premier event for raising fun and social responsibility. Several of the event's clues are designed to bring awareness to topics such as literacy, poverty, environmental concerns, animal welfare, and elder care. Amid these consciousness-raising events, the company's gorilla-suit-clad staffers make surprise appearances to award participants prizes and collect bribes in the form of fresh bananas or sign-language-speaking kittens.

Chiefland Man Bitten By Rattlesnake
The feds may put the diamondback rattlesnake on the endangered species list.
However, on Thursday afternoon, one of those deadly snakes appeared in North Central Florida.
A Chiefland man was struck and neighbors are worried.
The man, Eugene Treadway, drove to the EMS station in Chiefland.
Paramedics then transported him to a location in Bronson, where he was airlifted to Shands hospital.
Karen Parker, a spokesperson with the fish and wildlife conservation commission says rattlesnakes like this one are found all over Florida.
"They really like palmetto flat lands, pine woods, and abandoned fields with a lot of brush and grassy areas," she said.
At last word, Treadway is okay.
He was treated and released from Shands Hospital.
The firefighters who helped stabilize Treadway when he arrived at the EMS station tell us, Treadway shot and killed the snake after he was bitten.

BALTIMORE, Maryland– Barcoding, Inc. and AeroScout Industrial have partnered to deliver hybrid RFID solutions that combine passive and active RFID (radio frequency identification). By merging the best features of both active and passive RFID, this hybrid system approach creates one, unified visibility solution for tracking assets, said a release.
Barcoding and AeroScout's hybrid RFID system consists of:
• Active RFID from AeroScout: AeroScout's Wi-Fi-based, active RFID tags transmit signals to standard wireless access points via their own internal power supply. These signals are then relayed to AeroScout's MobileView software applications that determine the asset's location, condition and status. Active RFID technology is used for real-time location tracking of high-value and high-impact mobile assets.
• Passive RFID from Barcoding: Although a passive RFID system collects and transmits the same location and status information as active RFID, passive RFID tags rely on readers to pick up their signal and to supply the power necessary to respond and broadcast their data. Passive RFID is used for tracking a high volume of lower-cost items that exist within an area where chokepoint/gateway detection is sufficient.
• AeroScout MobileView: The hybrid solution collects and aggregates the real-time data from active and passive RFID technologies. This application turns the passive and active visibility data into actionable information, delivering sophisticated mapping, rules-based alerting, role-based visualization and business intelligence (BI) reporting.
"Our customers do not have to choose one type of RFID solution over the other, or have to depend on disparate asset tracking systems with separate interfaces running into their ERP system. By combining our passive RFID with AeroScout's active RFID expertise in a hybrid solution, we can deploy an accurate, efficient, and connected data capture system that completely meets our clients' unique and complex needs," said Tom O'Boyle, director of RFID, Barcoding, Inc.
"Barcoding is one of the few systems integrators in the world that can deploy a hybrid RFID solution. Now, when a customer requires a combined active and passive RFID system, we are able to refer them to Barcoding for an end-to-end solution. Customers no longer need multiple vendors for each piece of the solution. This reduces implementation time and risks, while simultaneously delivering increased value and ROI. We are very pleased to welcome Barcoding, Inc., to our partner network, said Janet Chaffin, president of AeroScout Industrial.

Presto Fertilizo
You shall not pass (your organic waste into the garbage).
BOOM! "What was that? Where did all this smoke come from? And WHAT'S THAT SMELL?"
'Tis I, the Compost Wizard!
"Wugh! You reek, man!"
Merely a side effect of my powers arcane! I come to transform your organic waste into rich, verdant loam!
"OK, great, but first how about you alakazam that stank out of here? I'm choking, literally choking."
You've made your point! I'm aware of the smell! Now, bring forth your organic waste, that I may work my alchemical wonder 'pon its putrefacting-
"Look, seriously, man, compost is great and everything, but I don't know how much more of this I can take."
OK, sure! That's what everybody says! I'll just leave a tumbling composter here to do this noble work in my stead! Would you prefer the Compost Wizard Dueling Tumbler, or the Compost Wizard, Jr.?
"Do they smell any better than-"
Yes! Yes! They both smell better than I do!
"Then either one is fine. Just hurry it up and, you know, get a move on, if you don't mind."
You know, the ironic thing is, I actually studied flower wizardry in school.

Model: Keilidh Category: Speakers Suggested Retail Price: $1150(blk), $1350(ch) Description: Floor standing speaker. Go here <a href= Manufacturer URL: Linn Model Picture: View

Add Your Review
for the KeilidhI ran across a pair of these Keilidh LS300 for a great price on Craiglist, and couldn't pass up a chance to own a pair of these well regarded classics. The LS300 was one of the later configs, with the ceramic tweeter. They are around 2000 vintage.
First, the cabinets are very solidly made, with massive internal bracing, and with the faux granite bases these have a solidity that is very rare at this price point. The cherry veneer is expertly applied and finished, giving them a nicely tailored look, great for a smallish (32" high) floorstander.
I hooked them up to my little 28WPC tripath amp and was delighted with what I heard. The highs are very extended and clean, and the mids are just right- balanced, clean, and with excellent instrumental placement. There is a uniformity and coherence to the presentationthat is very effective. Overall, the impression is just a tad laid back, but with terrific listenability. The bass is solid into the 40s, and can sound too full in smallish rooms.
I like these well enough to invest a bit more in them and replace the caps and resistors; many online swear that it is a big improvement.
These are now getting long enough in the tooth to have arrived at "vintage" price levels of $2-600. At those prices they blow the doors off anything I've run across. I think the last price these sold for was $1800, and I doubt all in all that there is a much better new speaker for that $ today. If you like natural musical enjoyment more than in-your-face detail, if you run across a pair, give em a listen!
Product Weakness: Only accepts bananas; slightly laid back overall; bass too prominent in small rooms. Not the last word in detail. Sounstage a bit low because of short stature. Product Strengths: Musically convincing- smooth, well integrated, nice soundstage. Easy on the ears. Solid bass. Fine, well engineered cabinets. Compact.Associated Equipment for this Review:

I'm what people call "unique" which I personally take as a compliment and motivation to continue to stay away from the typical, normal, and bland. I'm not the "cookie-cutter-style" girl. I have curves, 6 tattoos (maybe more that I've forgotten about), 15 piercings and plan on more till I end up like Isobel Varley (okay, maybe not SO extreme).
I'm a threatre major and love acting. I don't have much experience with modeling but I've discovered it's like acting without the words, which is a challenge, but a fun one.
As far as my style, I don't really have one, I like to change it up from day to day, whatever fits my personality or mood.

Article - Office of College Advancement
Ohlone emerges from accreditation cloud
Regional commission removes warning and reaffirms college's standing
By Matthew Artz.
Sunday, July 19, 2009—Reprinted from Inside Bay Area: The Argus.
Fremont—Ohlone College is in the clear.
The college-accrediting commission that last year gave Ohlone a stern warning about how the elected board operates has determined that the school has addressed its problems and reaffirmed its accreditation through 2014.
"I think the commission recognized our improvements," said James Wright, the school's vice president of academic affairs.
The Novato-based Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges certifies schools on a six-year schedule. It has the power to uphold a college's academic status, put it on probation or revoke its accreditation.
Last year, it issued a stinging 50-page assessment, finding "significant dysfunctionality within the board of trustees," which it further criticized for trying to micromanage the school's president and top staff. The commission also criticized the school's strategic planning process.
Had Ohlone's board of directors not addressed the commission's concerns, the school could have faced various sanctions culminating in the loss of its accreditation. That would have made it difficult for the school to offer financial aid and for students to transfer credits to four-year universities.
During the past year, the board has amended several policies so that it focuses primarily on setting policy while leaving the day-to-day operations to top district management.
"I think we've improved our relationships significantly," said Wright, who credited Ohlone President Gari Browning for getting everyone on the same page.
Browning, who previously served as associate director of the commission, joined Ohlone last year, shortly before the warning was issued. Also last year, voters didn't re-elect Bob Brunton, who had clashed with both his fellow board members and former college President Doug Treadway.
The board has codified procedures for its budgeting cycle and staff evaluations. It also changed its meeting format to help get through its agenda.
The accrediting commission removed Ohlone's accreditation warning last month after receiving a progress report submitted by the college. Ohlone next has to issue a routine "midterm" report to the commission in 2011.

Thread: http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=191586
Hello all,
I'm a student and relatively new to XSI. I imported an old head model I made in Realsoft and decided to have a go at shading it. I've really been loving the XSI workflow and decided to put up my progress so far for crits. Comments on the model or texture are more than welcome. This is my first foray into shading in XSI and it is far from finished!
I attached four rendered images from the viewport of the model under different lighting conditions.
Just looking at these pictures, I'm thinking:
1. The dark lighting turns up some really ugly bumpy highlights in inappropriate places.
2. It looks a bit 'waxy'. Any thoughts on how to correct this?
3. The eyes need a lot of work.
4. I really need to draw separate bump / specular maps.

Very similar to the popular Sweetone whistle, but made with budget raw materials and a modified production process. The Meg whistle sounds great -- plays very easily in the whole two octave range and is capable of all the ornamentation that other whistles are. Great for beginners.
Available in silver; the silver is painted on, which means it won't react to the oils in your fingers.

Dont buy this head set if you are somone who doesn't like to change your gadgets everyweekend... No doubt everyfunction and comfort level is outstanding but for max 2 months- I guess that is its lifespan... I have a 2nd replaced headset and again I am facing the same problem... Why would I own a Bluetooth head set when it switches off while moving my head or turning my head??? I thought the 1st one was a defected piece but the new one is facing the same problem too...
I bought the set 3 days ago and I am facing the same issue. The bluetooth is not really wireless, the music stops if I am keeping the phone more than 30cm away from the headset. The only way I can use them is to keep the phone on my shirt's pocket but never turn your head to the left ;)) Maybe it is a feature, that every time you cross the street and you turn your head to the left, to see if any car is coming, the music also stops so you can even hear that there is no danger and it's safe to cross :)) Very very disappointed, hopefully I can return them and I will be refunded. I tried it with 2 phone (S2 and IPhone 5s) and with an iPAD3. Same results, so clearly Plantronic's issue.
I don't have experienced such issue. It works even if I'm 5 meters away from my phone.
I don't like the earbuds not closing the ear, so that all the exernal noise is fully audible, which is a problem if you are in the subway, for instance.
Second issue is that even if it connects with PS3 and passes the tests it won't be used at all by the system as an headset, no matter how you configure the game and the PS3.

text: WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont issued the following statement after a ruling yesterday by the U.S. Federal Court in Richmond, Va., ordering Kolon Industries to stop producing and selling their Heracron® aramid fiber: "The injunction, coming on the heels of DuPont's $920 million damages award from last September, reaffirms what was already clear: that Kolon Industries willfully and maliciously misappropriated DuPont's proprietary Kevlar® technology," said Thomas L. Sager, DuPont senior vice president and general counsel. "The trial court ordered Kolon to not produce, market or sell any para-aramid fiber products, worldwide, for 20 years; it also permanently enjoined Kolon from using any of the trade secrets it stole from DuPont. Additionally, Kolon has until Oct. 1 to remove and return DuPont's trade secrets or face contempt proceedings. "In so ruling, the court found Kolon's conduct to be 'brazen,' adding that 'Kolon's conduct shows a complete disregard for DuPont's trade secret rights and a disregard for the law that protects such secrets.' At Kolon, the judge held, misappropriation of DuPont's trade secrets was 'a matter of corporate policy.' A full production injunction is warranted because 'the Court has no confidence that Kolon could be relied upon to police its own activities.'" Thomas G. Powell, president of DuPont Protection Technologies, added, "We are pleased that the judge has enforced the protection of our Kevlar® trade secrets. DuPont has devoted more than 40 years and considerable expense to research and refine Kevlar® to make it the world's most trusted aramid fiber. It is important not only to us but also to our customers that we are able to continue to innovate and invest in our business, our brands and our latest technologies, including our new facility to make Kevlar® near Charleston, S.C. The judge's order sends a clear message to Kolon and others that they cannot benefit from the theft of our trade secrets." Background: DuPont has been engaged in litigation with Kolon for over three years. In January 2012, the trial judge in DuPont's lawsuit against Kolon for theft of trade secrets denied Kolon's motions for a new trial and for a reversal or reduction of the jury's $920 million award. In addition to today's injunction ruling, DuPont expects to recover attorneys' fees spent pursuing Kolon's theft of the trade secrets DuPont spent decades developing. DuPont is pursuing proceedings to enforce and collect on the judgment.

It shouldn´t sound cocky, but what about my papervision template. The 3D Cube Website in this post is nice, but not so much work and very easy to build. I´m very sad about it, Scott
P.S. The 3D Cube Website on the blog post is one of the basic tutorials on papervision2.com
P.S. If you use the translation on my blog, the code block will looks weird. To see it right, switch back to german.
I update a file too and it was 3 days on 53th in the queue. Now it´s on 50th ....relax man, you are not alone.
You should contact the support when its not uploaded/updated after 7-10 days.
typo step 7, Milkbox link
oh….I will write it to Scott
I have a good and easy solution for you. In Actionscript 3 Cookbook is a class, that generates random numbers between two numbers.
import ascb.util.NumberUtilities; NumberUtilities.random(1, 100); //generates a random number between 1 and 100
So I optimize this a little bit and you would like to get so many 1 digits number as 4 digits number. So this loop gives 5 numbers of each digit.
import ascb.util.NumberUtilities; var counter:int = 1; for(var i:uint = 0; i < 20; ++i) { if(!(i%5)) { counter *= 10; } trace(NumberUtilities.random(0.1 * counter, 1 * counter)); }This is the result, what you get:
7 5 6 10 3 36 68 59 82 24 113 233 842 960 271 7994 3414 6970 2148 6641
You can download the class here.
P.S. When you dont know, how the modulo operator works. There is a new tutorial at the activeden blog, where I explain it clearly.
Yes thanks…..I´m the author, the crazy 3D maker . Thanks to Scott who corrects my english and for the quick uploading. Yesterday evening mailed > 6 hours later published….great!!!
Whoo you have already earned over 8 million dollars, but you have still the brown badge…you should contact the support!!!

Contemporary style is simple, clean and offers an uncluttered look. Flowers are typically linear in style & tall. Vases are clear glass, square and tall. No filler or accent flowers. Limited greenery. Greenery is done with large tropical foliage, accented by bamboo. Flower types are limited to about 3 types…usually large round, short flowers in the front (like lilies), linear, tall flowers (like stock) toward the back and orchids throughout. Would not recommend putting roses in this design.
Modern style – Can be contemporary (like described above) – typically starts at $75
modern chic (typically, short piece in a cylinder or cube with a clean, compact, structured look, no fillers or greens, not a lush look…good example would be South Beach Neon or a Pave style) – Starts at $40+ piece
modern artistic (example of modern artistic would be captured tulips or "roses and rush")
Euro Garden- A mixed assortment of flowers of various sizes, but generally round, arranged in a structured, lush design. Greens, vines, ivy, berries, willow, raffia and butterflies ornaments are common to this design style. Typically colorful, but can be done in a monochromatic color palate.
Exotic-Typically refers to a tropical piece of brightly colored ginger lilies, birds of paradise, purple dendrobium orchids, haliconias, etc. Palm leaves like Chinese fan palm and dark mahogany bamboo are common piece. These pieces are large in style and should start at $100+ . As a Boca Raton FL Florist, we do work with the various Florida hotels, resorts in our South Florida community, providing Floral Displays for the lobby and grand flower arrangements. Most of these arrangemnts tend to composed in the Exotic/tropical style.
Dutch Flemish- based off the Old Master Style of Dutch Painters from the 1600s.
These pieces are large, one-sided versions of the English Garden style, but with more emphasis on the dutch flowers, such as hydrangeas and tulips. These pieces are done in ornate containers (baroque…elaborate like a gold container or an urn with many details). This is a piece that goes well when placed against a wall as a background…since it is one-sided. It is a colorful piece, with many flower types. Typically starts at $100+

50 things Chicks should know...about guys!
I saw this on another board and had to bring it over. its worth a laugh.
Mens Health has a pretty funny (and true) article with 50 things that ladies should know about us dudes, how we think, and how to please us. The full list is after the jump.
1. Express yourself. It makes us proud, even if someone thinks youre wrong.
2. You look hot in running shoes and shorts. And that top thingy with the stripes.
3. Bare, tan shoulders are underrated.
4. If you think Im speeding now, you should see me drive when youre not in the car.
5. If youre truly interested in us, dont play hard to get.
6. Shopping is a chore, not an activity.
7. When I screw up, go ahead and tell meonce.
8. No question need ever be asked through a closed bathroom door if Im inside. I love you less with each syllable you utter.
9. Im hot for you, not your sister or your friend or your coworker.
10. My guy friends. Not only are they not negotiable, theyre your best sign that Im not a whack job.
11. Dont be afraid to ditch the makeup. Natural is sexier.
12. Leave the eyebrows alone. Plucked aint pretty.
13. You can have sex with us any time you want. Seriously.
14. When the game is on, we will pay attention to you if youre nice about it. Bark, and we shut down.
15. I dont ask for directions because Im just happy to be driving. Anywhere.
16. Masturbation is merely practice for the big game. Encourage it.
17. We crave hugs and hand-holding too. And no, it doesnt always have to lead to sex.
18. But you can have sex with us any time you want. Did we mention that?
19. Theres no better sound in the world than you, having an orgasm.
20. Though the exhaust note of a Porsche Boxster is pretty Daymn fine, too.
21. I just may lie to make you feel good. Dont be angry about this. You really werent looking for the truth anyway.
22. When you get angry over some stupid little pointless thing, I question your intelligence.
23. Youre really bad at faking it.
24. If I offer my help while youre getting ready, it means youre late.
25. Never ask me to pick out your outfit. (See above.) I will invariably get it wrong and make us even more late.
26. Giving me two or three choices, however, can be fun. Assuming you will change outfits in front of me. Slowly.
27. Err on the side of hot; I love to show you off.
28. Unless were meeting my parents.
29. When you call us at work just to chat, were not really listening; were checking our e-mail.
30. Spring means baseball and skirts. Doesnt need to be a mini-skirt; its been a long winter.
31. Chicks who drink beer are hot. Better yet: chicks who drink beer and watch the game. Better still: chicks who buy us a beer during the game.
32. We dont mind being told we look good. Just dont call it a cute outfit.
33. We love ponytails.
34. Being good in bed means a) enthusiasm; b) a sense of humor; and sometimes c) patience.
35. The first time? Were as nervous as you are.
36. A random unexpected grope is always welcome, even in public. Especially in public.
37. Make us laugh and well want to hang around.
38. Yes, I laugh really loud around the guys. And I always will, so deal.
39. Sure, men stereotypically like to solve a womans problems. But a woman who solves her own while we watch? Instant erection.
40. You can pick the movie, but have a reason.
41. Do not expect to have a conversation via text message unless you use the words naked and waiting.
42. Sometimes we wonder why any woman would want to be with us, much less someone as amazing as you. So, thanks.
43. Anytime you cook for us, were happy.
44. If you can hit a golf ball 150 yards, we just might fall in love.
45. No, I dont remember what he said next. Or she. Or anybody, for that matter. Im a guy, not a tape recorder.
46. We love you even more because you know we need to go out with the guys once in a while.
47. And we love it when you hang with us guys, too.
48. We have a keen sense of imminent danger. It sounds like, Do you think shes pretty?
49. Dont rely on us for keeping you up on the news.
50. Never say, I know you better than you know yourself. Nobody does.

text: Neither libdevmapper nor dmsetup does any locking. It's easy to make the case for dmsetup to include locking - but dmsetup is only meant as a diagnostic tool so it's hardly an important feature to add. DM_DEVICE_CREATE with a table supplied is *not* an atomic operation. It only exists to provide backwards-compatibility for the original version of the ioctls (when it *was* atomic). It's perfectly OK still to use it when convenient, but you have to remember it's actually performing *two* ioctls: DM_DEV_CREATE DM_TABLE_LOAD If you need finer-level control, you may be better off calling those two separately i.e. DM_DEVICE_CREATE without a table (if the device doesn't already exist) then DM_DEVICE_RELOAD.

Netanyahu in narrow victory
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party and his hard-line allies have won a narrow majority in parliamentary elections, exit polls show.
In an election far closer than polls forecast, Mr Netanyahu's Likud Party captured just 31 seats, well below expectations.
But with his hard-line and religious allies, he would still be able to form a narrow majority in the 120-seat parliament, according to the exit polls.
In the biggest surprise, the centrist Yesh Atid, party headed by political newcomer Yair Lapid captured as many as 19 seats, well above the forecasts. That would position Mr Lapid to become either opposition leader or seek a major Cabinet post if he decides to join Netanyahu's governing coalition.
Mr Netanyahu's campaign manager, Gideon Saar, said Netanyahu hopes to form a broad coalition.

Event Details
The Current State of Healthcare Reform and How It Affects YOUR Manufacturing Business
Healthcare Reform has inundated manufacturing employers and business owners with extensive and costly new regulations. To date, much of the discussion surrounding Healthcare Refom has involved the federal government. Soon, it will shift to the state level where much of the implementation process will take place.
Join us for this insightful round table discussion with executives from major manufacturing companies in the Chicagoland area. We will discuss what other companies are doing to prepare themselves for the changes in employer-sponsored healthcare in 2014, as well as the leading components to deciding whether to "pay or play."
Lunch will be provided.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had these crampons for a year and have used them on everything from WI5 routes to clawing my way up mixed routes and alpine summits. Pretty heavy, but they are indestructible. After a several hundred feet of alpine rock and mixed the teeth are still pretty damn sharp.
Not sure what the reviewer below is referring too in having to remove the anti-bailing plate to adjust, the crampons are easy to adjust by just lifting up the lever. Having the ability to run these in several different front point configurations is nice. If you are solely climbing steep water ice get the Blade Runners, however if you need a do-all crampon the c14 is a great choice.
Just fine fer a horse-tooth
I like these crampons. Got a great deal on em and I am pleased. Link up real nice to LS nepal evo, then again any crampon will sit tight on the nepal evos it seems. Haven't yet used them with other boots, but there are multiple adjustment points and will fit a large range of sizes. The ABS plates are a little chincy plastic and the rear must be removed to adjust the length of the bar but no biggy. These have been good so far. Rigid yet do allow walking, feel very stable. bite well. Comparable to BD cyborg or equivalent grivels imo.
I need replacement front points for my C14...
I need replacement front points for my C14 Cassin. Do you have them? Happy new year.
I am sorry to say we do not currently carry the replacement front points for the CAMP USA - Cassin C14 Crampon.
How small a boot will these fit? I wear a...
How small a boot will these fit? I wear a US ladies 7.5 (about a euro 39) and am wondering if these will stay on. Any help appreciated.
Yes, they'll fit fine.
Has anyone ever put these on tele boots...
Has anyone ever put these on tele boots for vertical ice climbing?
Well, the short answer is maybe. Regular crampon toe bails (with a few rare exceptions) don't fit over the wide duck bill on the front of telemark boots. Some companies like Petzl make replacement toe bails designed specifically for telemark boots, but I can't find any indication that Cassin makes a similar attachment. However, nearly all toe bails attach the same way, so you may be able to get away with using the Petzl bails on these crampons, but I'm not positive. Anyone? To address the vertical ice part of the questionsYou won't get the same performance as you would with actual climbing boots, or even close. Putting crampons on tele boots is generally a ski mountaineering move. The problem is that the duck bill will cover part of the front points and you won't get very good penetration no matter how hard you kick into the ice. You can definitely climb this way, but if you want to get serious about ice climbing, just get some ice climbing boots.

Rashida Jones: Errand Girl in NYC
Taking care of her to-do list, Rashida Jones took to the streets of New York City earlier today (August 3).
The "I Love You Man" actress looked cute and comfortable as she ran some errands and chatted and texted on her white iPhone 4s.
During a recent interview, Rashida chatted about her experience as a first-time screenwriter for her new film "Celeste and Jesse Forever."
"I guess the only experience I had was reading scripts. I've read scripts for 15 years as an actress and you know what you like and you know what you don't like. Sometimes you pick up material and you're like, 'Have these people even ever said these things out loud? Because they don't make any sense.' Or you read some and you're like, 'God, it's so cool that somebody was able to write the way people actually talk.' So, if you have things to say about what people do, the best thing to do is to go try it yourself and then it just immediately launches you into a whole newfound respect and humility."
As for mixing films with television, Jones noted, "It's been an interesting couple of years. The year before last, I was doing Parks and Rec and I was in four movies and wrote two screenplays with Will. That was a little much for me. So I'm trying to figure out the right balance. Every step of doing well has another challenge to it. And now it's about finding balance and also valuing my free time. Before, as an actress especially, you have to say yes to everything. You take every job you can get. So the idea of saying no to stuff is not at all written in me, so I have to learn now to balance it a bit better."

Mark Valeski wins Belmont's Peter Pan Stakes
NEW YORK (AP) – Mark Valeski rallied to beat Right to Vote by 1¼ lengths in the $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes for 3-year-olds at Belmont Park.
Trainer Larry Jones and owner Brereton C. Jones (no relation) had initially planned to run the colt in the Kentucky Derby. They decided on the Tuesday of Derby week that Mark Valeski wasn't as sharp as they would like, so the Derby was out, and the Peter Pan became the plan.
It worked to perfection.
Laying off a blazing pace set by 47-1 Right to Vote, Mark Valeski rallied four wide at the top of his lane for his third win in six starts and first stakes victory.
Now the next decision centers on running in the Belmont Stakes on June 9.
"We're sure going to look at the Belmont," Larry Jones said. "It sure looked like he handled this track well."
Mark Valeski paid $4.70, $3.30 and $2.80 as the 6-5 favorite with Rosie Napravnik aboard. Right to Vote returned $24.60 and $14 while Street Life, who rallied from far back to get third, paid $5.60 to show.

Most vacation pictures suffer from shoddy framing, improper camera settings, and pesky landmark statues photobombing the background. Keep pictures properly composed with this Groupon.
$49 for a Photo Safari ($99 Value)
San Francisco Photo Safaris' expert photographers instruct novices in the art of camera control while showing off the landmarks of San Francisco during tours. Though the specific locations change depending on the tour, guests tote their own cameras as a seasoned shutterbug teaches the basics of white balance, f-stops, and shutter speed during a 40-minute lesson. Guests then practice their newfound skills, capturing stunning views of San Francisco monuments and settings such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, where the Golden Gate Bridge was imprisoned for mail fraud from 1974 to 1980.
Currently, amateur photographers can attend the three-hour Palace of Fine Arts Day Safari, during which they can snap photos of architectural edifices settled among greenery while learning how to portray people, sculptures, and buildings in two dimensions. Instructors tag along as well, sharing constructive critiques of composition, white balance, and exposure.
San Francisco Photo Safaris
San Francisco Photo Safaris' owner, Gary Gullett, enlists an eagle-eyed staff with a passion for helping amateur photographers capture their surroundings in captivating ways. A team of drivers, classroom instructors, and tour guides deliver photography education across all seven continents, as well as Amelia Earhart's secret eighth continent. The staff members boast photography experience from institutions including Professional Photographers of America.
