ED 11/23- Dale
So, I did not sleep at all on the night of the 21st.
The day started rough as my reservation for supershuttle apparently did not go through. At the last minute I called a cab and everything has gone smoothly after that.
Virgin America from SF to IAD-- passed out
United from IAD to Munich.. Business Class.. decent meal... good amount of sleep, but I am tired.
Could not book Rolf, so I caught the train. Being from nYc, I love comparing trains systems of different cities... This one is good so far..
On stop from Marienplatz where I will swith trains... until!
We are all waiting for the "until" part.
Until he realised that he was one stop PAST Marienplatz maybe?
If he's messaging us from a Marienplatz platform, his connectivity is a lot better than mine:thumbup:
Yes.. AT&T international wireless card. It has not been as successful with uploading picts to this site.. failed me last night.
So, I got to the center fairly easy from the Airport.. if you remember, I was trying to meet my fiance in Munich and then drive to Paris together... didn't happen.
I signed the Bimmerfest book (first entry of 11/23/2007!) and then waited for the "show." Barbara greets me downstairs when I walk in, another takes my information upstairs, Fabian goes over the paper work me, Connie goes through the simulation and Maggie introduces me to the car.
One thing to note if you haven't done this before, don't panic when you see the insurance papers say 17inch wheels.. the sports package that you ordered is there. They just list the base model :thumbup:
I am trying to upload picts, but that may have to wait.
Since my fiance couldn't be there, I called her when Maggie was going through the intro. As Maggie and photographer took picts of me, I went into a couple of poses (naturally).. and the crowd on the next level (I assume it was a tour) gave me a standing ovation... (hilarious)
I throw out another poses for kick and this ovation is louder than the first!

:thumbup: Your having way too much fun.
ED Adventure Continued
The Ipod sync went smoothly and the bluetooth took a bit because I forgot that I already had my headset connected. Maggie was really helpful, but towards the end I had a feeling that she was ready to move onto the next customer..:dunno:
I got a picture to take with me that they took earlier (nice touch) but she promised to send me a photo of the other pose that they took a picture of.. I will post when I get it.
Side note- I really like the rims and will not change until the tires have to be replaced.
I drove to Dachau.. it was moving, but also much colder than SF, so I only stayed for an hour. I went to McDonalds, quick eats, before I started the trek to Paris solo... no Kill Story here as I parked in the lot across the street :angel:
The trip was brutal... It rained for half of it-- mostly in Germany... Navigation took me on a detour because A8 was jammed (according to her)... who am I to second guess...? I drove in this detour for almost 2 hrs.. did it help? Not a damn clue... All I know is that I stopped for a nap and I still had 523 km to go!! Didn't know how to zoom out on Nav, and didn't want to stop and play, so I check my BB which has a GPS locater on the new Google Maps..(on red lights) very helpful!
The worst part of the trip was when I got distracted by a piece of chocolate on the steering wheel (I bought & ate a snickers at a gas stop several miles before) ... not a good idea to get distracted going 100+ mph.. I lost control for a bit and the car became unstable... BWM DTC, or whatever it was, took over and I was able to regain control @ 80mph. :thumbup:
This freaked me out:thumbdwn: a similar scenario in 2001 in an Izusu caused me and my passengers to skid across I-95 from the fast lane to the other side of the highway ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR!! (For those who don't know, I95 connects Florida to Maine. My incident happened in CT) I came away with a lacerated forearm from the drivers side window shattering against the ground and a separated shoulder.. obviously very lucky-- no one else was harmed.. but this is obviously NOT an Izusu.:thumbup:
I made it to Paris in about 9 hours... (including the nap) from Dachau. Good thing I was in prayer the entire time.
Key stats:
Max speed: 140mph in France
Gas: roughly 145 Euros ($215)
Tolls: roughly 30 Euros ($45)
Arriving in Paris in one piece: (priceless)

Congratulations on a gorgeous ride :D Love the color coordinated outfit at delivery... very stylish!
Your car is beeautiful.
Excellent photos and good to see you made it safely despite an errant piece of chocolate. :thumbup:
Great car, great pics and great enthusiasm!

Where there is talk about preaching and hell, Jonathan Edwards's name is never far behind. "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is the most famous sermon in American history. And undoubtedly Edwards is the most caricatured preacher because of it.
You can read the whole sermon online, or listen to someone like Mark Dever or Max McLean read it. For a book-length treatment of Edwards on hell, with particular attention on the inadequacy of arguments for annihilationism, see Christopher Morgan's Jonathan Edwards and Hell.
But few people know that Edwards often preached on heaven, too. And his sermons on heaven are as beautiful as his sermons on hell are sobering.
For a wonderful introduction to Edwards on heaven, I'd encourage you to listen to Sam Storms's talk on "Joy's Eternal Increase: Edwards on the Beauty of Heaven." But first you might want to read the text of Edwards's sermon, "Heaven, A World of Love."
We've all heard the line about the danger of "being so heavenly-minded that we're no earthly good." But surely C. S. Lewis was right: "If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. . . . It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this" (Mere Christianity, chapter 10). For an excellent book on precisely this theme in the sermons of Edwards, I recommend Stephen Nichols's book, Heaven on Earth: Capturing Jonathan Edwards's Vision of Living in Between.
Finally, for a short book that seeks to bring it all together with copious quotes from Edwards, see Jonathan Edwards on Heaven and Hell, by Owen Strachan and Doug Sweeney.

Just over a month ago Apple cheekily told PC owners it should wait to upgrade to Vista. The reason being – despite the operating system being delayed almost two years: the iPod manufacturer hadn't managed to get its software ready in time for release. Now it has, kind of.
With the release of iTunes 7.1 Apple has confirmed the ubiquitous software is now mostly compatible with Windows Vista. In real terms this means Apple (inexcusably) still only 'officially' supports Windows 2000 and XP but confirms earlier issues such as poor animation performance, unreliable synchronisation and crashes in Vista should no longer be a problem.
Apple does, however, proclaim one major caveat: should you disconnect your iPod via the 'Safely Remove Hardware' option in the Windows taskbar it may corrupt your iPod! Instead Apple strongly recommends users choose the 'Eject iPod' option from the iTunes control menu.
Wrong option: corruption. Right option: all ok. Think you can remember that kids?
Apple says it remains aware of additional Vista issues, none of them serious, and as yet there is still no support for the 64bit edition of Windows Vista. For what it's worth, I use Vista and – on occasion – an iPod and I haven't encountered a single problem. I also just rip the iPod out the USB port when I'm done so there...
Incompatibility, incomshamatability.

[ad#post_ad-1]The original Chevy Volt concept car was described as having twin 6 gallon gas tanks, 50 MPG in charge sustaining mode, and thus 600 miles of gasoline range.
With production, these parameters were changed.
GM has not announced the production Volt's miles per gallon in charge sustaining mode, though the evidence suggests it will be somewhere between 30 and 50 MPG.
The size of the gas tank has also not been released yet, though in November Edmunds claimed it was 8 gallons, and went on to speculate that the Volt would thus get 38 mpg in charge sustaining mode.
"That's interesting speculation on their part," said Volt chief engineer Andrew Farah. " But I haven't told anybody who's asked how big it is."
"We're not releasing the size of the tank yet," he added.
Previously, then Volt executive Frank Weber told GM-Volt.com that the tank would be between 6 and 10 gallons, and Farah confirms at least that it is less than 10 gallons.
But why is GM being so vague about this figure?
"The reason we're not (announcing it yet) is we want to make sure we get over 300 miles of fuel range," says Farah. "We're going to tweak it as such and I've got plenty of time to do that."
Thus it seems GM is aiming for 300 miles of gasoline range, and therefore average real world charge sustaining miles per gallon will be the principle determinant of how many gallons is needed to reach that goal.
The graphic above shows the underside of the Volt after a crash test. The light blue object behind the battery is the fuel tank. In the graphic below the tank can be seen from above sitting behind the T-shaped battery pack.
How big is it? You decide.

interior doors, flush or panel
We are remodeling or home, but will sale in three years when my husband retires. We are replacing some of our interior doors which are flush. My thinking is that flush doors are very dated and should replace them with doors with panels. Question is, are flush doors dated or is it just a personal preference?
There flat panel not flush panel.
Flat doors look cheap and are cheap.
Check out any mobile home and see what type doors they use, flat panel in most cases.
Panel doors add a lot to a house. Recommended. We riddled and changed out all ours. Much nicer.
Slab doors cost about $20 and look like they cost $20. Go with the panel doors.
We replaced the cheap luan plywood doors with 6-panel doors in a house we used to own. Believe me, it made a world of difference in how the place looked. It's a somewhat tedious job, but not difficult.
I would ask a realtor whether there is any payback for that change. You may invest a lot of money that you'll not be able to recoup.
slab doors are dated. the only time you see them in use now is in odd situations on renovations where a very short door is required and cuting down a panel door wont work because of how much needs to be taken off
They are also used a lot in flips and rentals. Where I am in fla you see a lot in older homes built during the boom.

Getting Disability by Arguing You Can't Even Do Sedentary Work
If you have physical or mental limitations that prevent you from doing even sit-down work, you should be approved for disability benefits.
In order to win your claim for Social Security disability, you must prove that your limitations prevent you from doing your past job and any other less demanding work. This can be difficult for younger claimants, because the Social Security Administration often finds most younger people are able to adjust to sit-down jobs, even with an impairment. But if you can prove that you are unable to even do a sit-down job (Social Security calls this "sedentary" work), Social Security will usually approve your claim.
How Social Security Classifies the Physical Requirements of Jobs
To understand how to win by proving you can't do sedentary work, you need to first understand how Social Security classifies jobs based on their physical requirements:
- Sedentary work takes place mostly sitting down, but allows lifting up to 10 pounds, occasionally carrying objects (like files), and walking and/or standing up to two hours per day.
- Light work allows lifting up to 20 pounds and frequently lifting and carrying up to 10 pounds, with the majority of the day spent standing or walking.
- Medium work can require lifting up to 50 pounds and frequently lifting and carrying up to 25 pounds.
- Heavy work can require lifting up to 100 pounds and frequently lifting and carrying up to 50.
- Very heavy work can require lifting more than 100 pounds and frequently lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds or more.
Some disability claims examiners or medical consultants use another level -- "less than sedentary" work -- for those who can't do what's required of most sedentary jobs.
The Importance of RFCs
To decide what kind of job you can still do despite your impairment, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will prepare a residual functional capacity (RFC) assessment for you. An RFC is a detailed report that discusses the work-related limitations that result from your impairment. The goal of the RFC is to determine what the most is you can do on a regular and continual basis (eight hours a day, five days a week, or an equivalent schedule.) The SSA will only use symptoms that are documented in your medical records, so you must provide as much medical information as you can about your impairment when you apply. (For more information, see our article on RFCs).
If the SSA gives you an RFC for a certain level of work, it means the agency thinks you can do that level of work or less. An RFC for medium work, for example, means that you can medium work, light work, or sedentary work. If your RFC says you can do light work, you can do sedentary work as well. Finally, if your RFC says you can do a sedentary job, the agency will probably conclude there are various sit-down jobs you can do, and your claim will be denied. This is why you must prove that you cannot even perform the requirements of a full range of sedentary work.
If the SSA says you can do "less than sedentary" work, you should be awarded disability benefits.
Limitations That Prevent Sedentary Work
Here are some examples of physical exertional limitations that can result in an RFC that demonstrates you can't do the full range of sedentary work:
- the inability to lift up to ten pounds
- the inability to stand or walk for more than a combined total of two hours a day
- the use of medically required hand-held devices to help walking
- the need to keep one leg elevated
- the inability to use an arm because of amputation above the elbow, and
- the inability to sit for six hours out of an eight hour work-day.
Here are some examples of non-exertional limitations that can result in an RFC that demonstrates you can't do the full range of sedentary work:
- the need to alternate sitting and standing throughout the day as needed
- the need to rest or lie down as needed through the day
- the significant inability to stoop or bend
- the reduced ability to use both hands and fingers
- you need to take frequent sick days
- the inability to balance even on smooth surfaces
- certain visual limitations, and
- the inability to work in noisy environments.
Having just one of these limitations, however, can still result in an RFC that shows you can do sedentary work (albeit a limited range of sedentary work). This is because with just one of these type of limitations, the vocational expert who testifies at your disability appeal hearing will most likely be able to find jobs he or she that you can still do (for more information, see our article on vocational expert testimony).
(Note that the grid of medical-vocational rules for sedentary work can't apply if you can do less than a full range of sedentary work, and there is no grid of rules for less than sedentary work.)
But as limitations are added to your RFC, the vocational expert will likely find that there are increasingly fewer jobs that you can do (the SSA calls this "eroding the occupational base" for sedentary work). The goal is to have the SSA conclude that because of your multiple work-related limitations, the occupational base for sedentary work has been significantly eroded to the point that there are not any sedentary jobs you can do.
You should ask your doctor whether you have any of the above limitations, and if so, request that he or she fill out an RFC form listing your limitations and submit it to the SSA.
Limitations That Significantly Erode the Occupational Base
There are a couple of limitations that, on their own, erode the occupational base to such an extent that the SSA will find you able to do less than sedentary work -- in other words, disabled, if you have even one of them. Those limitations are the complete inability to stoop and the requirement to be allowed to sit or stand as needed.
The Complete Inability to Stoop
The SSA should find you disabled if your medical records show you cannot stoop at all because of your impairment. This is because almost all jobs, even sedentary ones, require some ability to stoop and bend. The SSA has concluded that this limitation erodes the occupational base to the extent that a finding of disabled is generally warranted.
The Need to Sit and Stand as Needed
The SSA should find you disabled if you can prove that your impairment requires that you have the option to sit or stand as needed at your job. This is because there are few jobs that permit an employee this flexibility, particularly unskilled ones. However, if you have this restriction, the SSA will still need to look at facts of your case, such as how often you would need to change positions, how long you would need to stand, and whether the need to alternate positions could be accommodated by normal work-day breaks.
How Mental Limitations Can Effect Your Ability to Do Sedentary Work
If you have trouble following simple directions and getting work done (and there is proof that this is due to a legitimate mental condition), you might not be able to do any sit-down work. Here are some reasons that disability claimants have won their claim based on not being able to do sedentary work.
- The claimant took prescribed pain medication that substantially interfered with his ability to focus and concentrate.
- The claimant's condition made it difficult for her to perform even simple, routine, unskilled tasks.
- The claimant's condition interfered with her ability to complete tasks on time.
- The claimant had difficulty getting along with others or responding appropriately to authority.
For more information on how these types of limitations can help your claim, see our article on non-exertional limitations.
Get an Attorney's Help
To prove you can't do any sedentary work, you will most likely need the help of a disability attorney; in most cases it's difficult to prove you can't do sedentary work on your own. If you've been denied disability benefits because the SSA says you can do sedentary work, arrange a consultation with a lawyer and ask if the lawyer thinks he or she can prove you can't do sedentary work. If you are a younger claimant, it will be particularly important to contact an attorney who specializes in disability, because the younger you are, the more difficult it can be to get disability benefits. To find an attorney in your area, you can use our disability attorney locator.

Ana drew up easy to follow building plans customizable for any length to fit your wall space.
A friend had asked I could build shelves similar to the Pottery Barn Hayden shelves in espresso:
With a little help from Ana, we made it happen.
The Pottery Barn version are MDF, I used pine boards.
And the Pottery Barn version only come in 2' and 4' lengths, I made these shelves 3' each for about $22 total in lumber.
The perfect spot for the boys trophies and Skylanders:
We did have a closet door on the right side to contend with, to keep it from opening all the way and smacking into the corner of the lower shelf we added a hinge stopper.
Here's how to build the wall shelves:
1. Follow Ana's plans and make wood cuts.
* The shelves pictured are 36" long and the cuts are:
1 - 1x8 @ 36"
2 - 1x6 @ 6"
1 - 1x4 @ 30 1/2"
For shelf supports use a template to mark curves:
Cut curves with a jigsaw:
2. Before construction, if desired, add keyhole mounts to back top:
Mark wood and set up fence guides then drill keyhole with router:
Make two equal holes for each shelf.
Finish construction with pocket holes and finish nails:

3. Sand, stain Minwax espresso and seal 3 coats Minwax Polycrylic satin:

I've been testing, trying, reading, looking, for an answer for a few days on how to import animated character from Maya to Vue but left without a success.
I am using Vue 10 and I also have Vue plug in installed in maya. Importing an object from maya has no issues but for god's sake, I can get the animation imported!
Someone please help me! Is it even possible to do that? I hope so.

As one of the tallest buildings on the main street of this southwestern Ontario city, the 12-storey, 1960s-era, glass office tower is hard to miss.
In reality, 305 King St. W. has been hiding in plain sight, half-vacant and overlooked by prospective tenants as a dated space.
But with a new owner and $4-million in renovations, the building has taken on new life as a loft-like, "cool" space for, among others, young entrepreneurs.
The metamorphosis illustrates the potential to rethink old spaces to attract a new generation of tenants.
The transformation of a "pretty mundane 1960s office building" has applications elsewhere, says Rick Haldenby, associate professor at the University of Waterloo's School of Architecture.
"It's clear one needs a vibrant startup ecology and young businesses and people willing to look at things differently, but when I heard about this it was one of those 'aha' moments when I thought the world is changing and this is fascinating."
In Kitchener, a former industrial town rebranding itself as a "startup city," the digital generation has flocked to converted 19th-century industrial buildings for their brick-and-beam charm, high ceilings, natural light and funky ambience.
Increasingly, for price and quality, the right kind of brick-and-beam is at a premium, one real estate broker says.
"The question in the marketplace for some time has been 'What is after brick and beam?' " says Karl Innanen, managing director of Colliers International's Waterloo office, the broker for 305 King. "What's the next thing? What will be cool?"
The surprising answer here is a 1964 office tower, listed by the city as historically significant for its Mies van der Rohe-influenced Modern architectural style of geometric lines using concrete, glass and metal.
David Gibson and Craig Beattie, founding partners of Perimeter Development Inc., eyed 305 King for several years when it was on the market.
The building sits on a future light-rail line and is close to former factories housing a mushrooming population of high-tech ventures. In 2011, with that audience in mind, Perimeter renovated a former rubber-making and car-parts facility, known as the Breithaupt Block, leasing 185,000 square feet to Google Canada this spring.
Waiting to buy 305 King paid off, says Mr. Gibson, given the evolving neighbourhood now has two new condo towers under construction. "It gave us the opportunity to spend time and think about it."
Perimeter purchased the property last fall for $6.5-million after The Honest Lawyer, a ground-floor restaurant with a sign atop the building, vacated the premises.
Mr. Beattie says the sign, "the ugliest sign you can imagine," came down the morning after Perimeter took possession.
"We had a crane on site at 7:30 a.m.," he says. "It was our sign that change was under way."
Inside, the developers gutted vacant offices and removed low-ceiling acoustic tiles to reveal a coffered cement ceiling, adding about 60 centimetres of height.
"It gave that raw look that people like," says Mr. Gibson, with exposed mechanical works adding an industrial feel.
Perimeter removed partitions to create open-concept offices with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, updated signage to match the building's modern roots and restored the foyer to its original six-metre height. On the ground floor, now leased to two trendy eateries, Perimeter replaced reflective glass with conventional windows to make it easier to see inside and out.
"It has given the whole building a different feel and look," Mr. Gibson says.
Since taking over the 120,000-square-foot building, now about 65 per cent leased, Perimeter has raised rents to $12.50 to $14 a square foot from $4 to $6 previously.
Many of the new tenants are high-tech or young entrepreneurs.
Square, the Silicon Valley mobile payments company, announced last month that its first permanent Canadian office will be at 305 King.
MappedIn, a fast-growing Kitchener startup that develops navigational software for indoor wayfinding, moved in last January from incubator space two blocks away at the Communitech hub in the former Lang Tannery, which is just a couple of blocks away from the Breithaupt.
"We looked at a bunch of places," says marketing director Stacey Tozer. "We wanted to stay in downtown Kitchener and be close to Communitech."
Her first impressions were unfavourable: mismatched carpeting, dropped ceilings and 10 small offices. "It wasn't very warm and inviting and it was not a good environment for collaboration."
But the 1,600-square-foot space has been transformed into a brightly-painted, open-concept setup, with a separate meeting room, office and a "play" space for watching videos. The result, she says, is "an open environment that is a cool space."
Unlike the newcomers, Overlap Associates Inc., moved in a couple of years ago for the low rent and the view.
"It was really ugly and the building was tired but the view [over downtown] was beautiful and the floor-to-ceiling windows were spectacular," says Brock Hart, chief executive officer of Overlap, a strategic planning firm he and others founded three years ago. "That felt inspiring even if the rest of the space was not."
With Overlap expected to quadruple its business this year, Mr. Hart had contemplated moving to Breithaupt, two blocks away. But now the company is staying put, expanding its office to 2,500 square feet.
The building's evolving culture, he says, contributes to a creative work environment.
He and and other young CEOs hold monthly games nights at the building to nurture friendships and corporate networks.
"For an office tower it feels pretty cool," he says.

Technical Abstract: Quantitative spatial analysis of water and solute transport processes in soils depends on knowledge of two fundamental soil hydrologic properties, the water retention function and the hydraulic conductivity function. The hydraulic conductivity can be estimated from the retention function. Recent research has shown that the soil water retention function is a highly variable soil property. The purpose of our study wa to determine if a physioempirical model for predicting soil water retention can describe the measured within-field variability. Core samples from 286 sites on a silty clay soil were used to measure the retention curve, bulk density, K(sub sat), and particle-size distribution. The measured and modeled retention data were analyzed and comparisons of statistical parameters indicate that the modeled retention functions are less variable than the measured functions.

Facebook users can no longer hide from profile searches
(NEWSER) – As if Facebook privacy wasn't already an oxymoron, the social media site is removing users' ability to hide their profile from searches.
The setting, which allowed users to control who can find their timeline by name, was originally removed for users who weren't already using it last year.
Facebook's chief privacy officer says they are axing the feature because it is outdated. Newsy reports:

dual fuel heat pump - no heat without propane
Hi we live in a house with a Coleman dual fuel furnace. This will be our 4th winter in this house with this heating system. The heat pump provides heat down to 32°. After that temperature the propane kicks and in provides the heat. As of right now we do not have a propane tank. We had planned to move before winter and had no propane so we had the tank picked up. We are having nights in the 40's and need some heat. The heat pump outside will not run on a heat cycle. It works perfectly fine fine in ac mode but no heat. We have got it to come on in heat mode but only for a few minutes. It switches to propane even though it is not cold enough for it. Since we don't have any propane, how can I get the heat pump to provide heat and stop switching to propane? It seams like I need to rewire the thermostat around the propane so that it doesn't have that option. What would cause the system to stop working properly and keep switching to propane? Any help will be appreciated.
Disconnect w at the thermostat.
It worked
no heat again
We now have no heat again. The outside temperature dropped below 32° and the heat pump shut down. The system was set up this way to work with propane when the temperature is below freezing. How can I override this feature? We will not have propane or a tank for another month.

From the age of 7 to 77 and beyond, mention a treasure hunt and everyone's eyes light up. Adding a spice of adventure to a nature excursion could be just the motivation you need to get the whole family outside.
Geocaching is a fast-growing hobby that provides an exciting way to explore the landscape, discover someplace new, and share special places with other outdoor enthusiasts. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS, and can then share their experiences online. Watch this video to learn more about geocaching.
Geocaching can be done on any kind of outing, whether that's a day hiking at The Disney Wilderness Preserve, or an afternoon stroll at The Blowing Rocks Preserve.
Geocaching is a great activity for kids. It gets the whole family outside to explore the natural world, teaches kids about navigation with the fun reward of finding real hidden treasure, and once back home you can share your stories and photos of the adventure.
Once you get into finding geocaches, visit our preserves and see if you can find the ones we have placed – great adventure and you may learn a little about our work as you play.
We invite you to get out on the Conservancy's natural areas in this fun and free way to search for treasures hidden there.
Log on to www.geocaching.com to set up a free account and start the hunt! Then visit the following Nature Conservancy preserves in Florida to find geocaches:
Everglades Headwaters Cache
Longleaf Pine Cache
Blowing Rocks Preserve Cache
Here are some etiquette guidelines to keep in mind when visiting our preserves:
- Caches are only accessible during hours of operation.
- Stay on marked trails at all times.
- Do not litter; used marked receptacles to dispose of any trash.
- Please respect the land; do not remove plants, animals, artifacts or rocks.
- For your safety and comfort, bring drinking water, hats, sun protection, bug repellent and use appropriate footwear.

This just in:
President Bush was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation last weekend in Arizona. He spoke for almost an hour on his future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living. He referred to his career as Governor of Texas, how he had signed "YES" 1,237 times - for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval.
Although the President was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his "red brothers".
At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the President with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle. The proud President then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they come to select the new name given to the President.
They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of crap it can no longer fly.
Heroes are people who do what has to be done, when it has to be done, regardless of the consequences

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & andy langton & goodroi
In order to stop these links from being followed by google I use a PHP redirect, plus a nofollow (on the PHP redirect) and additionally use my robots file to noindex the page with my PHP redirect list.
I am just wondering wether this could trigger/cause some form of over optimisation penalty?
1. Is to use a masked URl such as:
where /out.php fetches the outgoing URl for entry 5578 from a database and returns:
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.example.com/outgoinglink/" );
2. Is to link out using something like:
Then out.php extracts the outgoing link from itself using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and returns:
Header( "HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.example.com/outgoinglink/" );
>>> I had a reason for making the second one use 302 instead of 301 but I can't for the life of me remember what that reason was ...
[edited by: tedster at 4:56 pm (utc) on Jan. 15, 2009]
[edit reason] de-link the examples [/edit]
Would google see this as over optimisation/attempting to hide outgoing links? Have they become wise to this?
hide outgoing links
Although true about hiding, do not forget the convenience of having links organized in a single file, being that JavaScript, PHP, or whatever.
Can you imagine running a site of 100+, or 500+ pages and having links hardcoded on each page? Who can maintain that? Nobody.
It's so easy to change the link in one single spot.
See also: [webmasterworld.com...]
*** It's so easy to change the link in one single spot. ***
Another way is to define all the links via an array, and simply insert the right link in the right content by referring to it that way. That way, there's no redirect involved.
But do not that for all or almost all your links. Link to relevant sites, that's important.
And I do not hardcode the links: those going to an affiliate site -when available- are nofollowed, redirected and robots'ed; if the link is not an affiliate one goes directly. But that's automatic.
To summarize: my experience says that disallow, redirect and nofollow is not a problem, but your site has to offer relevant links and content. But what I do is not for everyone maybe.
Another way is to define all the links via an array, and simply insert the right link in the right content by referring to it that way. That way, there's no redirect involved.
That sounds interesting to me - I always used term "redirect" to describe that particular action, but is it really a redirect if I say
and code is something like if link=link1 then link=site.com and so on for X number of links.
Is this a redirect or an array?

text: I'm sure there are lots of kids in Scientology or from Scientology families that would love to see their parents. They are not allowed under the disconnect policy of the church. Those families also will not have to face the press on a movie promotional tour and have to hopefully answer questions about Leah Remini and her break from the church and her disconnection accusations. See, now Tom can say that, despite his infrequent visits with Suri, he can say there is no disconnect policy or else how would he be able to see Suri and he just saw her and blah blah blah. He is going to be prepared for the questions. I can't even remember the last time she saw him. It happens infrequently enough that the tabloids mention when she does go see him. I think it is very interesting that he has spent the majority of his time outside the US since he and Katie Holmes split. Yes, he has been working there, but, let us be honest, he prefers it there because he never will run into a reporter he can't dodge. The questions are coming. Will he let them come or will he only talk about his new movie which is coming out soon?

The morning came like any other, steel gray sky and not a breath of air. Getting the gear together was a mindless effort after this many trips. How Henry wished that today would be a high liner day, the past few trips had not panned out and if things did not change out soon he would not be able to keep this up! He did so love the Sea and it was with a heavy heart that he hade made this promise to himself, today would have to be the break and if it was as bleak as the last 10 or so trips then he would have to take the job he was offered at the bakery. Delivering bread at the break of day to the many local stores would indeed pay the bills but not feed his soul.
The tubs of trawl were carefully wound and set in the back of the truck, and the days food was bunked into the top of the last tub. A stop at the coffee shop and the bait locker would be all that was left. Henry was slower than normal at the bait locker- careful to select the best of the half frozen, half rotted mackerel that would be his delihlias on the end of his string of 100 hooks. He saw others loading there gear, and setting off as the seagulls wound around searching for slipped scraps and the occasional half a donut.
With a somber feel he set the last trawl in the stern of the Leviathan, the bait was set a side and the old one lunge engine was massaged to life. Thump a thump and thump a thump - silver smoke danced into the still morning air. Henry dawned his foul weather gear, lit a cigarette and cast of the bow and stern line. Advanced the engine and caught it between strokes and slid her into forward. The soft chine of the old Swampscott dory just parted the ebbing tide. The gulls were trailing behind as the Leviathan slid past the day boards and into the jetty. How the air changed as he was now facing the Northeast, the heavy sea air filled his lungs and mixed with the stale tobacco. Henry coughed deeply and felt a heavy weight in his chest. He had been feeling it for a while, some times it bothered him, more often he shook it off to old age.
The swells in the jetty were making up as he closed in on the open sea. The forecast for the day was to be calm seas and little to no wind, a bluebird day if ever there was one. The swells at the end of the jetty were mounting and the engine had to be advanced to conquer the deep blue mounds that we impeeding Henry from his journey . He rounded the end of the North side of the jetty and just as he always had checked his compass and set his course. The other small fishing vessels had by now scatted to the four winds, they had much newer and powerful engines and most were crewed with at least two young strong hands and a salty skipper. Henry always went out alone, he enjoyed the quite of the sea and found that he could comfortably relay upon himself rather then teach or feel unsteady with a still untested hand. His set course took him along the front of the long beachhead and the many summer homes that dot the fragile barrier. How he missed the days when only small fish shacks were seen on the beachside and the drawn out sand was left to natures kind hand to tend to it. Not the man made breakers and walls set aside only to benefit the few, the wealthy.
The salt from the short hard spray clung to Henrys face, he tried not to brush it aside as if he started he would never stop- instead we would focus on the slow driven rhythms of the engine. He would try and adjust his heart beat to be at the same pace, as if he and the Levitation were indeed one. The suns crimson rays were slicing into the gun metal sky and setting long thin rays of life onto the ocean. Henry eased the vessel into the warmth hoping to dry his corned face. How the suns presence made him feel like he was not alone, to be met with a constant companion on days like this and the past many trips had been his only solace. The deep cold sea now meeting the radiant top water set the blue fish to a feeding frenzy. Small bait fish, menhanin, were now schooled at the top of the water column by the tiger like blue fish, slashing and gorging themselves on a cloud of bait fish. The terns were next, circling, diving, striking at the wounded and confused. It was instantious the uncertainty of the world the menhandin had come to know. And with the turn of the helm Henry plowed the Levitation through thru massacre. Knowing that he just temporally slowed the carnage.
Henry was on a course to a small ledge in the distance, it was a fisheries he has used many years before with good success. He had not fished it of late as the seas were not contusive to work in the hollows of the deep ledges safely, but today's forecast indicated fair winds and calm seas. He changed his course and was now heading due east, the sea spay was making up on the tattered hull of the old Leviation, the worn battleship gray paint was thin in spots and the rail was polished to a warm patina from the heavy salted trawl that had rode up and over a thousand times or more.
Henry stood tall in the stern sheets with his shoulders square to the sea, his well worn oilskins did there best to keep him dry, but the thread bear spots allowed the weather to dig at Henry and over time those digs had become wounds.
The ledges were in plain sight and the one lunge engine was backed down, and as she did, she sputtered and cough. She slipped in-between stokes and nearly stalled. Henry rushed to advance her and her life was spared. The ledges were imposing as the small vessel eased in the hollow of the two, it was a deep run on both sides but the hollow was a under water platue that held the ground fish Henrys sought. The sea on the back side was a calm a a mill pond, not a ripple, not a stir, almost too calm Henry thought to himself.
The vessel was left in neutral with a line looped to the helm, to make sure she stayed on a true course, Henry got to chopping and baiting the trawls, small stiff chunks that were now almost brittle were laced onto the 100 odd hooks. The small trawl anchor was set and with a flitching stick Henry carefully set the trawl. Much care was taken here, Henry had see older more experienced fisherman get drug over board by getting followed in the nest of trawls and hooks. And as Henry was alone he was sure to not had this same fate. The engine was set at headway speed and the line on the helm set in a gentle arc. And slowly and surely the first trawl was set. The water were was 120 feet which is perfect for the haddock and cod he was hunting for, the plateau was not long but wide so his next set was to be almost parallel to the first.
The vessel was now noticeably lighter and more unstable as the weight from the trawls and anchors had deepened her. Henry was pleased with both sets and went to the far edge of the ledge to try his hand at hand lining, he had a wooden framed wound with tarred cod line and tied to the bitted end was Newfoundland cod jigger. A device used in the jigging of ground fish, it is a long thin lead body shaped crudely like a bait fish with two very sharp and deadly hooks set into it on opposing sides. It was dropped over the rail and jigged up and down with great power, the fish never hit the lure but instead were follow hooked in the gills or side. It was a way to increase the pay of the day as he let his deep water set do there bidding.
The hand lining produced a few hake and a small tommy cod and a rock fish that Henry would keep for the making of poor mans shrimp cocktail. His back was tiring and the cod line he had wound around his hand had numbed the sensations. His mind wandered to the old days of fishing and the ways and men all past before him. How he missed those voyages to Sable and Phippiniees but alas he is now here in his small dory scraping bottom to make a living. The time was drifting by and Henrys thoughts still were not of this day, or of this year. He tried to arch his back to relive the stress and pain that was digging into him, and as he did and great burst from his lungs exploded and the deepest and hardest cough he has ever experienced bellowed to the surface. He was caught off guard and it tossed him back into the stern of the Levitation, the mucus he spewed was laced with a deep maroon, and he spat it to the rail and it mixed with the crisp red of the cut bait fish. He was shaken a bit by how violent he was coughing and he could not seem to settle it out, at the same time the one lunge engine was slipping back and almost stalling again. Henry advanced her and it did not take, he tried to stand and set the advance again. But she was sputtering, His mind now on the small one lung engine that was seeming loosing its will to live, distracted him just long enough to not see he had drifted to the far edge of the ledge.
The place in any sea were deep water and shoal water meet can bring many things, bait, fish, fowl and almost always a confused sea. Henrys small dory was now caught in a series of rouge waves that tore themselves from the power of deep and shallow water meeting. The engine gave its last gasp and the large wave broke hard on the beam of the old levitation, she rolled hard, with little weight to stick her down and now no helm. The vessel rolled up and into the far edge of the ledge.
Henry was still fighting to regain from the cough that had seemingly set this into motion. He was tossed into the foaming sea, and its ice cold grip shocked and confused him. The extra lines and gear that was just so neatly stored in the aft of the vessel were now coiled and entrapping him. He felt the sting of the sea as it poured with out mercy into his thick black rubber boots. The weight of the icy abyss was making it next to impossible for him to gain toward the crystal blue surface.
Henry tried to find his bait knife that was lashed to his foul weather gear, he was entangled deeper in the mess of unkempt lines and hooks. His lungs that once stung from the tobacco and air were now slowly filling with a salty soup. The deep trench that lay under the ledge was pulling on him and all the many wounds and digs that had made him who he was were now allowing him to sink deeper and deeper. His mind now on high alter could see the edge of the ledge. His effort to reach it was null, and the sea was now filling him, he was becoming part of that in which he loved.
Henrys panic in the lines and the deep echoless sea suddenly halted! He drew what he believed was his last human breath, the sea had enveloped him and as he slid deeper and deeper. As he reached the bottom he saw the small trawl anchor he had set no more than a few hours before. His eyes now wide and clear, his mind crisp and alert. He found the two trawls he set were fat with cod and haddock, not a hook was unclaimed. The small bait fish darted and seemed to welcome him. His hands now numb and stiff, he know knew and accepted his fate, he was and always will be a fisherman! And with that he felt peace in the knowledge that he would never had to deliver bread, or be known as anything less. How lucky he felt as the last of any connection to the land escaped his lifeless body, not to suffer the fate of the cancers and the disgrace of failure. A fisherman he was and all ways will be!!!

I have no interest in running down to a shop & dropping $600 for an alarm, just as I have no interest in running down to a shop to pick up a 800w amp for $800, when you can pick up a JL Audio 1000/1 for $300 and blow everything away, just as you can get a yester-years alarm for a 1/3 the price just because it was made in 2005 as opposed to 2012.
So with that in mind, there was a famous Viper alarm from the early 2000's everyone wanted and people even want till today, yet can't remember the #. Doesn't have to be a Viper, or all that fancy. Other then door locks, kill, and wanting to add a proxy sensor, I can't think of anything I really need unless there's some really kol/stupid awesome functions happening now-a-days.
I'm on the fence about those ~bulky (digital read out) key fobs.....don't know if I want to be pre-occupied staring at my key fob every 5 mintues to see if my cars been touched.


text: RALEIGH, N.C., March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Chameleon Soundworks is making people stop and listen with its surprisingly powerful loudspeaker. Standing less than two feet tall, the loudspeaker fits easily in a small space and doesn't dominate the room. It is the speaker you customize yourself, so it has endless possibilities. Customizable skins allow owners to change the look of their loudspeaker to suit the environment or their mood. The most compelling feature of this new product is arguably its superb sound quality and Bluetooth capability. Chameleon Soundworks has achieved a sonic masterpiece that is certain to stake its claim to a sizable portion of the home audio market. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130322/PH81700 ) The Chameleon Soundworks loudspeaker's diminutive size belies its rich, full sound. Rather than the traditional box shape, the company chose a tube for the final design. The woofer combination tweeter cone points down toward the base, which allows the sound to flow out in all directions equally. Measuring 7 inches in diameter and 12 inches high, the loudspeaker "box" sits atop three 4-inch aluminum or stainless steel legs. A bookcase, desk, table or other flat, hard surface is the recommended placement. Because of the loudspeaker's ingenious design, its location within a room is not integral to the sound quality it produces. Apple uses the same technique with its iMac speakers. A unique, hidden magnetic attachment system on the back of the speaker makes it easy to change out skins. These skins can be made of anything that is flexible, such as paper, plastic, fabric, vinyl, leather etc.. The owner therefore has a great deal of freedom in choosing the look of their loudspeaker. Make it match the wallpaper, make it look like a fish aquarium, be goofy and make it look like a drink can or geeky like a circuit board, it's your choice. Customers with a flair for interior design will no doubt gravitate toward Chameleon Soundworks' products. Fabric stores, home improvement centers, art stores etc all become sources for skins. Or let us create your skins from images or material you provide -- the choices never stop.

PART 10: Portals, Occultism...
and the Collins Elite
By Tom Horn & Cris Putnam
Approximately six years ago, following the release of the book Nephilim Stargates, Tom Horn did a series of radio shows with Steve Quayle and later televised shows with J.R. Church and Gary Stearman for their Prophesy in the News broadcast in which the idea of supernatural "portals, doorways and openings" were discussed. The concept is actually an ancient one—that gateways between our world and other dimensions exist or can be created through which those entities described in previous entries can pass.
At one point the programs with Church and Stearman (available online at YouTube) focused on a theory Tom had briefly raised in Stargates involving infamous occultist Aleister Crowley, Jet Propulsion Laboratory founder Jack Parsons, and L. Ron Hubbard, Church of Scientology founder. A portion of that original material reads:
As is referenced in chapter 2, in 1918 famed occultist Aleister Crowley attempted to create a dimensional vortex that would bridge the gap between the world of the seen and the unseen. The ritual was called the Amalantrah Working and according to Crowley became successful when a presence manifested itself through the rift. He called the being "Lam" and drew a portrait of it. The startling image, detailed almost ninety years ago, bears powerful similarity with "Alien Greys" of later pop culture.
L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons attempted to do this very thing by inviting the spirit of Babylon [their magical working was called Babalon] through a portal during a sex ritual. Their hope was to incarnate the whore of Babylon—a demon child or Gibborim. Parsons wrote that the ritual was successful and that at one point a brownish/yellow light came through the doorway. At the same moment he said he was struck by something invisible, and a candle was knocked out of his hand.
It is interesting that following Crowley's magic portal (which produced the alien-looking LAM) and Hubbard and Parson's Babalon Working ritual, Crowley died in 1947—the same year as the Roswell crash and the same year Kenneth Arnold [a friend of Parsons] saw his flying saucers and sightings of "aliens" increased around the world. Was a portal indeed opened by these men's invitations?
J. R. Church was very interested in this idea, that men heavily involved in the occult with a strange UFO-alien twist and covertly connected with segments of this government's aerospace endeavors might actually have opened a portal allowing the increase into our world of powerful demonic influences.
Several years after Nephilim Stargates was published and the shows with Steve Quayle and Prophecy in the News had aired, a book by Nick Redfern titled "Final Events" was released that repeated the basic concepts, but this time around had the backing of a secret government group that had been commissioned to get to the bottom of the UFO phenomenon and that ultimately concluded the mysterious manifestations are demonic and somehow directly connected to the government and Parson's Babalon Workings. According to Redfern, these men are called the "Collins Elite." ...
... Following this initial contact with Redfern concerning the government study group, we continued making significant efforts to verify the story concerning the Collins Elite. Tom also agreed to meet with a member of the Collins group and has been told a meeting could occur, though as of this date he is still waiting. Meanwhile our sources in the United States—which extends from US Military intelligence to National Defense employees with both DoD and Intel Top Secret Security clearances—at first came back empty handed. This included our friend Colonel Steve Bauer who served longer as a U.S. Government Military Aide than anyone in the history of the White House under five U.S. Presidents—Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush. Bauer had never heard of the "Collins Elite" and couldn't locate a single intelligence resource that otherwise would substantiate Redfern's claims. But we knew, having said that, this didn't mean the story as detailed in Final Events was untrue. Counterintelligence, Majestic 12 level compartmentalization, and official denial is a well-established part of the government's past and present protocols when handling questions concerning UFOs and so-called alien abduction activity—a fact that every significant investigator into this phenomenon has run into when trying to separate fact from fiction. So we moved on and checked with one of our international contacts—former director of Britain's Military of Defense's department for UFO research, Nick Pope—and was surprised when he cautioned against disbelief and even confirmed the existence of a Collins Elite-like group among Britain's aristocracy (this is discussed during a Q&A with Pope in the upcoming book Exo-Vaticana). Following this, we reached out to Gregory Richford, a Ball Aerospace contact who works with Advanced Systems & Technologies for Space Control & Special Missions. He too cautioned against doubting the Collins reality and sent us a four-page document, ending with an ominous warning. Below are just some of the talking points from his meticulous outline.
• Security levels and Compartments
- Starts with the understanding that a Top Secret DOD (Department of Defense) or SCI (Sensitive Compartmented Information; intelligence world) clearance is the first level of clearance required before one gets to SAP programs.
- There are at least four levels of Top Secret (TS) special access programs (SAPs) that currently exist in the US DOD/Intel world:
o Acknowledged top secret SAPs
§ (Security cleared) Congress (or staff) has access to full knowledge of program name, mission, budget, etc.
o Unacknowledged top secret SAPs
§ Cleared Congress (or staff) has access to full knowledge
o Unacknowledged/Waived top secret SAPs
§ Program, Budget, customer, and mission are all highly classified
§ Only two Senators and two Congressmen are made aware of the program, typically at a very high level only
§ Typically referred to as a "Black" program
o Completely Unacknowledged top secret SAPs
§ No acknowledgement or overview to the Congress
§ Accountable only to the agency that authorizes mission and money ostensibly related to a Presidential Order
§ Really known as "Deep Black" in the vernacular.
§ This level is itself not acknowledged; can't be acknowledged for obvious reasons
§ Two agencies in particular make great use of this: CIA and NSA
o With more than 25 years in this world, I personally have experience with levels 1 through 3 only. Level 4 is outside my scope.
o Most of the high level UFO work is done at level 4. It is not acknowledged and specifically not even known except to those briefed into the compartment/program. Only leaks aid in the process of discovery.
o This is likely a strong reason why Nick Pope is reluctant to spell out unambiguously what by definition is meant to be concealed at an unacknowledged level.
• Formation of the Collins Elite
- A number of intelligence agencies looking at the UFO situation are drawn into the orbit of a larger picture held by the CIA.
o Army Intel; Naval Intel; Air Force Intel; Defense Intel Agency (DIA), etc.
o This seems consistent with how high level exchange takes place; they contribute to larger efforts out of their own agencies and budgets.
- A subgroup of this CIA-dominated and controlled compartment, informally sees things differently and begins to form a counterpoint voice to the research. They call themselves after a time the "Collins Elite."
o This seems plausible based on the discussions and factions I have seen over the years. Independent thinking is valued. Like-minded experts gather around themselves.
- Over time, the Collins Elite position becomes more refined, more emphatic, more concerned.
o One notes that most of these guys are industry old timers, with an old Christian worldview, having been in this covert intel circle for 30-40 years.
- The Collins Elite seems to be an internal but informal collection of guys who maintain their independence of thought about matters in this highly classified and clearly controversial realm.
• Review
U.S. Intelligence agencies are trying to understand UFOs in early 1950s
- Same intel agencies also trying to understand the occult sorcery of two key figures: Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons—and how it could be applied as a National Defense asset.
- Deeply covert CIA-controlled intel group wants to pursue research on psychotronic weapons and remote viewing 'technologies' and embarks on a deluding journey, a perverted scheme and Faustian bargaining.
- After years and decades of incremental research in this arena, several deaths more recently occur to test subjects in these realms; things are going badly awry.
- A sub-group watching all this, loosely confederated, calling itself the "Collins Elite" begins to recognize this as completely occult, demonic/Satanic, and begins to organize itself as a counterpoint to the general research direction.
- The Collins Elite begins to see a much larger and terrifying picture of what this whole unleashed enterprise is leading to; the connection to fallen angels, the Nephilim, and a plan for taking over the world.
• Conclusion
- This unsettling story has every indication of being true; it follows directly from everything you and I know about UFOs and their ultimately nefarious mission tied to an end-time prophetic scenario
- Unraveling this further is loaded with known and unknown complexities—and that includes dangers.
DNA Harvesting, Genetic Manipulation
and the Seed of the Serpent
When former Christian college professor and BBC correspondent, Dr. I. D. E. Thomas, in his highly recommended book, The Omega Conspiracy, chronicled the burgeoning of so-called "alien abduction" activity in the 1980s, he made similar enlightening connections between the alien-abduction phenomenon and end-time prophecy concerning a return of Nephilim, something other writers have since built upon. Documentation by "abductees" worldwide and the stories of DNA harvesting by "aliens" reminded him of the history of biological misuse by the Watchers. Dr. Thomas told us personally that the special desire by the "aliens" for human and animal molecular matter could explain "why animals have been killed, mutilated, and stolen by the aliens," a point Vallée repeated in his book, The Invisible College: What a Group of Scientists Has Discovered About UFO Influences on the Human Race, when he wrote:
In order to materialize and take definite form, these entities seem to require a source of energy…a living thing…a human medium… Our sciences have not reached a point where they can offer us any kind of working hypothesis for this process. But we can speculate that these beings need living energy which they can reconstruct into physical form. Perhaps that is why dogs and animals tend to vanish in [UFO] flap areas. Perhaps the living cells of those animals are somehow used by the ultraterrestrials to create forms which we can see and sense with our limited perceptions.[ii]
Evidence concerning the collection of "living cells" from animal (and human) mutilations indicates something very unusual and unworldly. The precision by which the material is collected has often been compared to "laser-like" precision, but Lieutenant Colonel Philip J. Corso (1915-1998), who is best known today for his book The Day After Roswell (which disclosed his involvement in allegedly back-engineering extraterrestrial technology recovered from the UFO crash site at Roswell, NM in 1947), was working on a manuscript before he died titled "Dawn of a New Age" that described an unknown technology beyond laser accuracy used by unsympathetic Extraterrestrial Biological Entities (EBEs) for tissue removal:
