How do I get started?
Hey everyone-
I love being out on the ocean, but don't have a boat or a clue how to sail. I hope to live aboard someday. What is the best way to get started (on a budget)?
buy my boat is the answer to all your needs.....lol
see craigs list asheville, nc
Check the Recommended Reading thread here on Sailnet. There's plenty of good reads that will give you an idea of what it takes.
Lessons. Definitely. But, what is the budget? You can learn to sail much more quickly than most non-sailors think.
Where abouts in the world are you? Sailing season is pretty much over Down Under (there is a reason this week-end's regatta is called the "Brass Monkey" ;) ), but if you are located in more favourable climes - I would recommend finding your local sailing club.
Ask there for the possibility of sailing lessons and/or crewing with more experienced sailors. I learnt most of the basics from crewing with others in the sailing club races, it didn't cost me a dime (or cent, being Aussie & all ;) ), and I was given tips I would never pick up from a book.
That said, it wasn't until I read my way through the Annapolis Book of Seamanship that I understood why the tips worked so well. Some theoretical underpinning always helps, but you can go a long way learning the skills by crewing with others in a good club :)
Buy a small boat and go sailing. It's the best thing in the world!!!!
Buy Peterconway's Whatchacallit 22 for $2100.00. It's your basic starter boat, it's cheap, and it'll free his mind to think of something else! ;-)
Learning to sail is easy. Learning to manage a cruising boat is more complicated. First learn the sailing part and then if you love it (as opposed to just the idea of it) then move on from there.
We searched the internet for the local yacht club that sponsored a learn to sail class. It was a saturday and sunday and cost was $40 with lunch. You got a basic book. They taught all the vocabulary and the principals of sailing in the morning and in the afternoon you got to sail on the different types of boats in the club. After finishing the class since we were exposed to the yacht club were we had the opportunity to crew on cruiser class races. This gives you the taste for very little cost.

Brian Bennett (2:59 PM)
Happy Festivus, everybody. Let's talk college football, the Big East, holiday gift lists (I usually wear a medium, if you're doing some last-minute shopping) and whatever else is on your mind today.
brad (gadsden,alabama)
Brian, What bowl games are going to?
Brian Bennett (3:00 PM)
I will be going to the FedEx Orange Bowl. As cold as it is here, I can't wait to get to Miami
Chris (Wallingford, CT)
Curious....how did Rutgers do selling their allotment of tix for the International Bowl last year? And do you think UConn's poor ticket sales this year will hurt the program in the coming years? We all know how important the almighty dollar is in college football today....
Brian Bennett (3:02 PM)
The number the Birmingham News used today was 8,500 for Rutgers last year. Now, this UConn team didn't exactly thrill people with its finish, the economy is in worse shape and there are men's and women's basketball home games that same day. So to expect a huge crowd to go to Toronto on Jan. 3 is probably asking a lot. You'd like to see the Huskies bring at least 5,000, though. It will have an impact on future bowl selections, though I think bowl officials will understand the circumstances.
Zach (Baltimore)
Two part question: 1Who do you see as an early season favorite next year for the Big East? 2. With the struggles the WVU had on offense this year, does year 2 of Jeff Mullen's system see better results? I can't think losing Pat White can in any way help an offense.
Brian Bennett (3:04 PM)
1. Pittsburgh, in a big way if Shady McCoy stays. 2. Remember that the receivers and tight ends were very young this year, and I think they'll get better. It all hinges on the quarterback and who that might be. I think you'll see the Mountaineers try to incorporate even more of a pro-style passing game.
Christian - Brooklyn
Two part question 1. how does English get a HC job on the heels of what Rutgers did to Lousiville - complete with English whinning about it at halftime? 2. how big a blow was English's departure and the large ? mark it seems to have planted in all of the defensive recruits' minds to Kragthorpe and his efforts to turn that program around. Right now they are my pick for last place team in the conference next year.
Brian Bennett (3:06 PM)
Well, that Rutgers' game probably wasn't the first line on English's resume. But you can't judge a guy on one game, especially with so many starters being hurt. I thought he did a really good job improving Louisville's defense until late in the year when the Cardinals' lack of speed got exposed in Big East play. English is a good coach, but he's got a tough challenge at Eastern Michigan. We'll have to see about recruiting. Too soon to tell.
Sean: Cincinnati
What does Brian Kelly have to do to repeat the Big East title? Do you think he can do it?
Brian Bennett (3:07 PM)
If he does, they should just rename the Big East coach of the Year award the Brian Kelly Trophy. Bearcats lose a ton of starters and will be almost entirely new on defense. At this point, though, I will put nothing past Kelly.
Will J (Portland, OR)
Cold.......Alabama? Have you seen the rest of the country and their temperatures? Any how Boise St. or TCU tonight? Should be a good game.
Brian Bennett (3:07 PM)
I'm not in Alabama. But, yeah, I'm looking forward to that game. Best non-BCS bowl, at least on paper. I like TCU to win.
Matthew (Clifton Cincinnati Ohio)
I have heard tyrod taylor is a similiar QB to Pat white. What do you know about him and can Cincinnati shut him down just like they did pat white?
Brian Bennett (3:08 PM)
Tyrod Taylor is a nice young player. But Pat White? Not close. But few players are.
David Fairborn, OH
So you think UC is no longer considered a stepping stone college football program now that Kelly is staying around for a bit (pending the stuff with the facilities occurs)
Brian Bennett (3:10 PM)
It's getting to that point, but it's not there yet. The program still needs continued success, not just two great years.
Vince (Austin tx)
How much of a factor is V. tech potentially losing 3 starters for the Orange bowl? Also, do you believe coach Kelly will utilize Isaiah Pead & his play-making ability more in this game than the rest of the season?
Brian Bennett (3:13 PM)
It's definitely not going to help. I'd be most worried about losing Marshman on that offensive line. Cincinnati's defensive line is really good and relentless, and Virginia Tech's offense wasn't that great to start with. Pead for some run in the Hawaii game, but I think that was as much about it being a meaningless, last game of the year. Ramsey and Goebel have been the main backs all year, though Ramsey has had fumbling problems.
Paul (Albany, OR)
I have seen Pitt play a couple of times this year and McCoy is awesome. However, the quarterbacks are not that inspiring. If Oregon State can pressure the quarterback can they force enough mistakes to win the game? Thanks. Merry Christmas.
Brian Bennett (3:14 PM)
You're right. Bill Stull is steady but not spectacular. They don't ask him to do a whole lot, usually, except for the occasional deep ball. Pitt's offensive line has been pretty good all year, and I think the game plan will be heavy on McCoy in El Paso.
Averre (Vegas)
How do you see Rutgers doing next year??? They lose Teel and Britt(maybe) but the return their top 4 backs and all 5 starters on the O-line on O. And the D will be strong again.
Brian Bennett (3:16 PM)
The Scarlet Knights had pretty strong representation on my Big East all-freshman team, which I posted earlier today. They lose some really key pieces, as you said, but Schiano has been recruiting well. The key will be finding a quarterback. Right now, no one has stepped up to be the obvious heir apparent to Mike Teel. They'll need to find that guy in the offseason, whether it's Natale, Jefferson or Savage
John (Boise, ID)
Whats your reasons on TCU beating Boise State? Do you really think that TCU is that much better than Boise State?
Brian Bennett (3:17 PM)
No, I think it will be a very close game. I just like TCU's defense a lot and think it will be the difference. BYU's performance against Arizona did make me wonder a bit about the Mountain West's supposed dominance, though
Mike (LA, CA)
Tickets literally cannot be given away to the Orange Bowl; does this not tell Brian Kelly that he's fighting a losing battle at Cincinnati? No matter what he does the fan base just doesn't care all that much.
Brian Bennett (3:18 PM)
Not at all. Cincinnati should fill its 17,000 ticket allotment. It's just that if you add up both the Bearcats and Hokies' 34,000 allotment, that leaves a lot of empty seats. And nonpartisan fans aren't too excited to get to this game. Cincinnati has a small fan base, but it's growing.
Averre (Vegas)
Everyone keeps saying that the Big East needs better bowls which is true, However what can they do create more bowls? I can't see them bumping the BIG 10 or SEC for their bowl slots. What are their options? No has clearly explained what the BIG East can do.
Brian Bennett (3:20 PM)
We can all hope they don't create any more bowls unless some are eliminated, because there are way too many as is. What the Big East can and will do is renegotiate its current contracts and look to get better alignments. There's nothing really wrong with the Gator, Sun, Meineke Car Care or even St. Petersburg games right now. The International has a bad stigma, though Toronto is a great city. The league needs to get out of Birmingham. Even the Motor City or Liberty bowls would be better than that one.
Matt (Monroe Falls,Ohio)
Who will win the Hawaii bowl ?
Brian Bennett (3:22 PM)
I've picked Notre Dame to finally win a bowl. But it's a road game, and Hawaii is no easy place to play. Ask Cincinnati, which needed a big comeback to escape.
Otto (CA)
Won't the Orange Bowl be like half emtpy?
Dan (Nutley, NJ)
How do you see the PapaJohns bowl playing out? Will NC State's secondary be able to handle Rutgers' receivers?
Brian Bennett (3:23 PM)
NC State's secondary should be better than Louisville, Pitt and many of the other teams Rutgers saw late in the year. But Kenny Britt is a load, and I think the Scarlet Knights will have success throwing the ball. I like Rutgers to win by about 10 points or so.
Jason (Louisville, Ky)
The company line from the Louisville AD's office has been that "Louisville is rebuilding" since last year's syracuse loss. In his end of the year press conference, steve Kragthorpe stated that he wanted to build a fence around louisville and get recruits from a 6 hour radius from the city. But those statements don't really jive with what we've seen lately from the team. We're closing in on double-digit JUCO players for the second year in a row after striking out again with High school recruits. Last year we hired a quick-fix Defensive coordinator in English. Between the staff turnover, and all the jucos, the future looks seriously bleak for the Louisville Cardinals. I think the only hope is that after the disaster that will be next season, (3-4 win season) Jurich finally realizes that the Kragthorpe hire was a mistake and makes a change to try to reinvigorate the program. Even then, it looks like a 3-4 year rebuilding job, no matter who the coach is, to get back up to mediocrity after the KRagthorpe disaster. Sorry to say that we're the new syracuse, Jason
Brian Bennett (3:26 PM)
You're seeing JUCOs right now because the Cardinals badly need players to plug holes next year. Kragthorpe is in a bit of a Catch-22. He doesn't really have time to recruit all high school prospects, redshirt most of them and wait for them to develop, which is the best way to build a program. Next year will probably be rough no matter what. I'll really be looking to see what this team looks like going into 2010.
Casto (Washington, D.C.)
Brian, please remember that we're not exacly bringing back a nobody to start at QB next year in Morgantown. Jarrett Brown is 2-0 as a starter, and as much as I love Pat White; Brown is a MUCH better passer when healthy. We'll have a better record next year. In spring timing, PW was only .01 faster than JB in the 40.
Brian Bennett (3:27 PM)
I like Jarrett Brown. Can he do it as consistently as Pat White did? Time will tell. I'm also interested to see if Eugene Smith gets a look.
Steve (Syracuse)
Do you think the Cuse will start to turn it around this year?
Brian Bennett (3:28 PM)
Depends on what you mean by turn it around. I don't see a winning season in '09, no. Could they get to maybe five wins and start to build some momentum? Maybe. Marrone still needs to get a quarterback and some big time receivers somewhere.
BCSisBest (PA)
I read the interview with the Memphis AD. Do you agree with his 80% liklihood of joining the Big East. It seems like they are pretty far off in football, and aren't really improving. How are they going to do it? Even Tennessee has to go out of state to recruit.
Brian Bennett (3:29 PM)
Memphis seems so sure that it will get i the Big East. There have even been media reports out of the city a couple of times recently saying it was a done deal, except they were wrong. I think Memphis needs another conference shakeout to open up some spots. Right now, they don't really fit the Big East.
Nick (Pittsburgh)
Brian any word on how close pitt is to selling out their allotment? I know my family of 4 will be there
Brian Bennett (3:31 PM)
I have yet to hear a number on that. My understanding is that ticket sales were going fairly well. Remember that the Sun Bowl has smaller allotments than most bowls because locals take most of the tickets.
Jake (Syracuse)
Brian, was it a surpirse to you that the Cuse took there scholarship back from the QB Barmas?
Brian Bennett (3:32 PM)
Not terribly surprising. The kid committed when he knew there was no coaching staff in place, so it was a weird situation to start with. Now they're saying he was recruited as a safety. Seems to have been some miscommunication somwhere along the line.
Nathan (Santa Cruz CA)
I've seen a trend in the Orange Bowl towards games that are not so big-time. Do you think if this continues that the Cotton will maybe bump the Orange down to the next tier? They are getting the Jones Mahal finished soon and next year's Cotton will be there.
Brian Bennett (3:33 PM)
No, because the Orange has too much tradition and history and Miami is a more appealing place to visit than Dallas. However, I'm sure Orange Bowl officials aren't thrilled with their current tie-ins, since the ACC hasn't produced a decent BCS team this century
Tim Berkeley Ca
Who do you see winning the Emerald Bowl and how much of an advantage is it that its basically a home game for Cal?
Brian Bennett (3:33 PM)
Big, big advantage. I think Cal should win easily.
Keyatta Shade, San Francisco, CA
In your opinion, If Sam Bradford comes out and plays a dudd like Ohio State's Smith did a few years ago against the gators would that add proof that Tebow should have won the Heisman again, especially since he played against as good to great defenses as he did as well as having the bull's eye on his back the entire season?
Brian Bennett (3:35 PM)
It's hard to throw out someone's entire season on one game. What if McCoy has a great game in the Fiesta? Does that mean he should have won the Heisman? He did come in second, after all.
Keith, Cincinnati
Brian, what do you think about the matchup between UC and VT? Differential in talent, coaching, schemes, intangibles...? Do you and your colleagues feel that the ACC and BE are pretty comparable in quality this year (apart from the obvious greater depth in the larger ACC)? Is it fair to say that UC is, or might very well be, the best team VT has faced this year? Is it fair to say that VT is, or may be, the second-best team UC has faced this year (behind Oklahoma obviously)? Do you have a projection for the game yet, and your rationale for the expected outcome? What are you hearing from other knowledgeable observers about this game? Thanks!
Brian Bennett (3:36 PM)
I think this will be a very close game and is an excellent matchup in many area. People may not be excited about it nationally, but I'm predicting that it will be one of the closest, if not the closest, BCS games. I like Cincinnati to win because its offense can generate more points.
Nick (Pittsburgh)
Brian, do you ever see the pitt psu rivarly ever renewing, especially since joe pa should retire in the next few years? It was one of the best in the country.
Brian Bennett (3:37 PM)
I hope it comes back, especially if Pitt continues to improve. That would be a great game for the Big East and for all of college football. Is JoePa going to retire soon? Sure doesn't seem like it.
Nathan (Santa Cruz CA)
Part II of the previous question: When the BCS contract comes up in 2015, do they look at or change the tie-ins? I am hearing a lot of buzz around Texas that the Cotton will try to get into the BCS roto, maybe just taking the place of the NCG since the host city gets two big bowls.
Brian Bennett (3:39 PM)
I'm sure all that will be discussed and hashed out. Who knows, by then maybe Florida State or Miami is back to elite status and the Orange Bowl is happy again. The problem with the Cotton joining the mix is that the Rose Bowl was upset at potentially losing its traditional tie-ins but appeased by the potential of having a BCS title game every four years.
Kyle (Columbus)
does ohio state win the fiesta bowl?
Brian Bennett (3:39 PM)
Moe (Pittsburgh, PA)
Will Pat White win his 4th bowl making the team 4-0 in bowls with him as QB?
Brian Bennett (3:41 PM)
I like North Carolina in this game. I just think it's a bad matchup for West Virginia, with the way its offense played down the stretch. Look at what the Tar Heels did against Georgia Tech. I never count out Pat White, but he's got an uphill climb this time.
BCSisBest (PA)
Brian: Based on trends in scheduling, conference strength, recruiting, and coaching changes, give us a prediction. We will have a Big East national champion in the year 20__. You don't even have to pick a team. Thanks.
Brian Bennett (3:43 PM)
Boy, it's just so hard to predict. The Big East seems so far away from the cream of the crop this year, but just last season West Virginia was right there to go to the BCS title game. I don't see it happening in the next two years, I can tell you that. Beyond that, it's nearly impossible to predict what will happen without just totally guessing.
christian Brooklyn
loved the white USF helmets against Memphis What are the strengths and weaknesses of teh Bulls next year. Pre-season top 25?
Brian Bennett (3:45 PM)
Strengths: Grothe back. Weaknesses: Lose four starting OL, possibly Selvie, secondary still questionable and offense needs overhaul. Top 25? No.
Tim Berkeley Ca
Saying that all the top juniors do leave for the draft (Bradford McCoy Crabtree tebow) Who do you see as a couple of the front runners for the Heisman? Does Jahvid Best have a spot in that group?
Brian Bennett (3:49 PM)
Well, McCoy isn't going to go, so forget that. I guess you're also assuming that Sanchez, Moreno and Stafford go. Pitt's LeSean McCoy and UConn's Donald Brown should be in the mix. Best? He could be a candidate, but I don't see him as a Heisman winner. And there will always be guys we can't see coming, like McCoy was this year.
mike (ca)
FYI... for baseball fans..Tex signed with NY
Brian Bennett (3:50 PM)

Andrew (FL)
Who do you like in the Chickfila Bowl?
Brian Bennett (3:51 PM)
I like Georgia Tech in that one. Was not impressed at all by LSU this season
Nick (NJ)
With Rutgers recruiting getting better and better each year (should be a Top 25 class this season), is it that hard to imagine them becoming a consistant Top 25 team along with Pitt? I see Pitt and RU ruling the BE for years to come.
Brian Bennett (3:53 PM)
They really should be at that level. If not Top 10, then at least hovering around Top 25 status.
mike (MI)
everybody thinks State is gonna get demolished by Georigia, what do you think?
Brian Bennett (3:54 PM)
I don't think Michigan State has enough offense to win.
Nell - Clearwater
Any idea which Big East teams will be rich in redshirt freshman talent next year?
Brian Bennett (3:55 PM)
Pitt has some good skill players we might see as soon as next year. Cincinnati was able to hold back some guys because of all its seniors. UConn always does a good job of redshirting and developing. To name a few.
mike (MI)
If Javon Ringer goes off...
Brian Bennett (3:55 PM)
Which is Sparty's only hope
Patrick (Knoxville)
Brian how do you think Kiffin will do in terms of recruiting..with the staff he has coming in I dont see it being anything but good!
Brian Bennett (3:56 PM)
He should have plenty of contacts from his USC days, plus he's building a good staff as you noted. Tennessee always has to recruit nationally to succeed, and now it's competing against Nick Saban and Urban Meyer in the region. So it won't be easy.
MWC Commish (SLC)
If the WAC and MWC merge, the Big East is in trouble as an auto-bid BCS conference don't you think? Or would the BCS award one of the current at-large bids to the merged conference?
Brian Bennett (3:57 PM)
The Big East is not in trouble. The league has won three straight BCS games. Meanwhile, BYU, which was supposed to be a Mountain West titan, can't beat Arizona.
Casey (Tupelo, MS)
Do you think the TCU/BSU will be a low scoring game or will the offense shine?
Brian Bennett (3:58 PM)
I'll say around 23-20ish
mike (MI)
is michigan gonna rebound nicely next year and get into a bowl game or will it take a few more years?
Brian Bennett (3:59 PM)
It's really hard not to make a bowl game. But it will probably be at least two years until Michigan is really Michigan again.
Brian Bennett (3:59 PM)
OK, that's all my time. Thanks and have a happy holidays, everybody!

I have been working at Jagex full-time (More than a year)
The people here are friendly.
Work-place Activities 2-4 times a year.
Finally started listening to players.
People fired without notice, makes me worried of my job
Frustrations while working with playerbase, we want to help but are limited
Senior Management isn't competent for the job.
Mark needs to stop being a two-face to the public eye
Advice to Management
Promote people who actually know what they are talking about to manage
Stop focusing on trying to make new games, it hasn't and won't work.

- Most of the employees are extremely bright and have alot of potential.
- Cambridge is beautiful
- It's the game industry!
- Senior leadership is some of the most personality driven in the gaming industry...which is saying alot if you know much about the game industry. This leads to an extraordinary amount of pettiness and factionalism, making at nightmare to get anything done. This leadership is replicated throughout the organization.
- They add talent directly from school for this reason. If you're an experienced professional, you don't join Jagex, you leave it.
- One game shop. Jagex has only shipped one profitable game in its history, but it boasts an impressive amount of failures.
Advice to Management
My advice would be to the Board, and that would be to seriously consider replacing the senior leadership with better experienced and professional people. Somebody who knows what they're doing could potentially do great things.

The people are great, all interesting, capable and all care about the finished product. Lots of them participate in extra-curricular activities and actively seek fresh blood and offer advice to interested parties.
Nice benefits : gym membership, pension arrangements, healthcare, subsidized canteen, good office building,
You're working for a company that makes games!
Despite all the cons below I do believe there are far worse places to work. Colleagues are very supportive when other teams are under unpleasant pressure and go out of their way to help when they can.
Unpaid overtime is expected, this is apparently industry standard but not exactly nice.Recently (last few weeks) shifted to mandatory overtime for several teams. This makes the unpaid aspect to the overtime downright unpleasant.
Limited promotion prospects; management and exec roles are mostly external hires.
History of unsuccessful attempts to branch out from the core game, each repeating some trends that could have been addressed, e.g. shifting direction frequently on key mechanics and ignoring early warning signs, such as testers and developers on the project admitting "This game isn't fun" and multiple changes in creative leads for the same product.
Communication between teams is often lacking, resulting in unnecessary, premature or wasted work.
Middle Management get panicky near milestones, resulting in sudden micromanagement and slightly raised tempers, but often appear disinterested (late for meetings discussing the project, slow to respond to questions) in the intervening periods.
No granularity on importance of decisions, every request is "critical" and "top priority" which has to be done "ASAP". Decisions may be later overruled subject to another manager or executive's whim.
Advice to Management
Review projects regularly, especially before putting significant investment into them, and be prepared to cut projects that don't look worth it any more.
Pick some individuals you trust to have a complete and detailed vision for a given product. Back their decisions and make sure they have as much visibility as possible of what is going on in their given product.
The image you give to your workers is important, they currently seem to think you haven't a clue. Better-informed workers are better able to trust you, know what parts of their work are important and make decisions when unexpected problems arise which fulfil the spirit of the instructions they've been given .

Need someone to convert my themes from PSD to Wordpress. You can view a tiny sample of my work here: http://templatepreviewer.blogspot.com/ Email me through my author profile if interested. Thanks!
I`m suggesting you to build a complete PSD template and submit it to Themeforest. If it will look great and will be accepted for sale, there will be a lot of authors who will want to convert it into any CMS you want.
DeliciousThemes – Yes, that would be the safest thing to do. But I was kind of hoping to find developers that could look at a rough design and conclude whether or not it has potential. But thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it.

Home > News & Events > News > News Archive > The Specter of Nuclear Proliferation
Los Angeles Times
If North Korea has, in fact, assembled an arsenal of six or eight nuclear weapons, so what?
Well, for one thing, North Korea's forced entry into the nuclear club is likely to trigger a "cascade" of nuclear proliferation -- as the U.N. High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change termed it -- in Northeast Asia. To be sure, in the weeks ahead, Japan and South Korea will publicly reaffirm their nonnuclear status, but privately, officials there are almost certainly discussing their options.
My firm prediction is that on the current course, before the end of the decade, we will see a nuclear Japan and a nuclear South Korea. And when Japan creates its own independent nuclear deterrent, China will unquestionably respond in what promises to be a rerun of the U.S.-Soviet arms race.
Moreover, that is not the worst we have to fear from a nuclear North Korea.
North Korea is an economic basket case that desperately sells whatever it has to whoever will pay. Among national security specialists, it is known as "Missiles R Us," having sold missiles in the last decade to Iraq, Iran, Libya and Yemen.
Over the last two years, North Korea has not only been reprocessing plutonium for six additional bombs but has simultaneously reactivated its five-megawatt reactor at Yongbyon -- previously frozen under a 1994 agreement with the United States. It is also actively constructing a 200-megawatt reactor and a 50-megawatt reactor, as well as moving ahead with its secret uranium enrichment facility. On this path, when North Korea is able to produce additional nuclear weapons-useable material, or indeed bombs, nothing will prevent it from becoming a "Nukes R Us" for terrorists and other proliferators.
Observers who find such a possibility too hard to believe should reflect on what U.S. inspectors have found in Libya as the sheets were pulled off products from Pakistan's nuclear black marketeering. Pakistan's top nuclear scientist, Abdul Qadeer Khan, supplied advanced designs for a nuclear warhead that could be delivered by a missile, as well as enough North Korean uranium hexafluoride to make a bomb.
As Henry A. Kissinger has noted, a defining challenge for statesmen is to recognize "a change in the international environment so likely to undermine national security that it must be resisted no matter what form the threat takes or how ostensibly legitimate it appears." North Korea's emergence as a nuclear armed state would constitute just such a catastrophic transformation for the United States.

Illinois - Zach Johnson birdied the second hole of a sudden death playoff Sunday to win the John Deere Classic ahead of Troy Matteson as Steve Stricker's three-year reign in the event ended.
Johnson blasted out of a fairway bunker to about a foot from the pin at the second playoff hole -- the 18th.
Matteson who had led after each of the first three rounds, was about 40 feet away after his approach shot from the fairway.
After Matteson left his long birdie attempt short and tapped in for par, Johnson stepped up and made his short putt for the victory.
"I think we're stating the obvious -- that was really good. That was my shot of the week," Johnson said of his spectacular bunker shot, which was from the same bunker he landed in when the pair opened the playoff at 18.
That time his shot out found the water hazard and he ended up with a double-bogey -- but so did Matteson after his punch out from the right rough also went into the water.
"All in all, you go into a playoff and lose to a shot like that, I mean, that's an unbelievable shot," Matteson said. "My hat's off to Zach. He drove it in the bunker twice and figured out a way to win."
The playoff followed an action-packed final round that saw Johnson erase a four-shot overnight deficit with a bogey-free six-under par 65 for 20-under 264. Matteson carded a one-under 69.
Johnson reached 20-under with a birdie at 17 and was walking to the 18th green with a two-stroke lead when Matteson, whose chances had dimmed with a double-bogey six at the 15th, rattled in a 60-foot eagle putt at 17.
Both parred the last to force the playoff.
"I'm not disappointed at all really," Matteson said. "I'm kind of shocked I got into a playoff because I just didn't play my best today, but kind of hung in there.
"Luckily that putt went in on 17," added Matteson, who made an aggressive stroke then watched as the ball spun around the rim and dropped to a roar from the gallery.
Stricker, who was trying to become just the fifth man to win four successive editions of the same tournament, settled for a one-under 70 that left him tied for fifth on 16-under 268, alongside Luke Guthrie (64).
Although he closed within one stroke of the lead at one point, Stricker said he never felt any momentum building.
"It was weird," he said. "I just didn't feel like something good was going to happen.
"I tried to hang in there, hit some really good iron shots, but just never really got any momentum seemed like."
American Scott Piercy was third with a 65 that left him two behind Johnson and Matteson on 266.
It was a further stroke back to Australian John Senden on 267. Senden shook off a double bogey at the first and thrust himself into contention with an eagle two at the par-four 14th, followed by his sixth birdie of the day at 15.
But Senden's challenge ended with bogeys at 16 and 17.
While Matteson missed out on a third career US PGA Tour title, his runner-up finish was enough to gain a place in the British Open starting Thursday at Royal Lytham.
"This will be my first time over there and I think I've tried to qualify about nine times and haven't gotten in," Matteson said.
Former Masters champion Johnson notched his ninth US tour victory and his second of the season.

This is a discussion on Pretty good quote from John Farnam on lethal force. within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Any intentional discharge of a firearm in the direction of another person is considered an exercise in lethal force, regardless of your expressed intent, or ...
Any intentional discharge of a firearm in the direction of another person is considered an exercise in lethal force, regardless of your expressed intent, or ultimate result. When you are legally justified in employing lethal force against a threat, and have decided to do so, you are simultaneously justified in fatally wounding (killing) the person. When you are not justified in traumatically ending the offenders life then and there, you are not justified in firing at all.
~ John Farnam (found in an excellent online article at http://www.defense-
Pretty much covers it.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
Served with a guy by the name of John Farnam in the mid 70's he was on the base pistol/rifle team,but after seeing pictures of him a coupla years ago it's not the same guy.
I agree 100% with the statement,people think that firing a warning shot to scare somebody off that otherwise would not justify deadly force are going to get a pass,hope they have a lawyer on retainer
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Makes sense to me.
Socialism Kills! Time proven, with a very large body count! We are a Constitutional Republic....... not a Democracy, get it correct!
Don't be mistaken for a Gecko45: http://lonelymachines.org/mall-ninjas/
ANGLICO Images
Exactly. Quite a few jurisdictions will charge a person with either aggravated assault, or assault with a deadly weapon (both are felonies) when someone fires a warning shot for the exact reason John Farnam articulates.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Often in the news, a bad shoot that misses is still a bad shoot answerable to the law. Really applies to any use of lethal force - not necessarily firearms. A good, ethical, rule of thumb.
-Blackstones Commentaries 145146, n. 42 (1803) in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)Americans understood the right of self-preservation as permitting a citizen to repel force by force
when the intervention of society... may be too late to prevent an injury.
I think this is the full link for the citation: John Farnam's Quips - 12June12.html - Shooting to "Wound".
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).

Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.
("Do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it.")
-Virgil, Aeneid, vi, 95
No sugar coating in that statement.....
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
When I went through firearms instructor school as a cop, they had this posted in the front of the course handbook...(Paraphrased)..."Lethal force maybe employed when the actions of an assailant are such a threat to your life or the lives of others, that it does not matter if the assailant lives or dies, only that they stop the actions that caused you to use such force." Thought it was worth posting here.
During a deadly force course with Ayoob, he summarized the A.O.J. standard like this: Justified use of lethal force requires that the innocent be in immediate and otherwise unavoidable danger of death or grave bodily harm.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?

I agree completely. Only on TV does the good guy shoot the gun out of the bad guy's hand at 100 yards using a snub nose .38. I teach COM shooting to stop the threat. You should not have tne intention of killing anyone. In fact, it is hoped that everyone survives. Having said that, the BG has certain occupational hazards that come with his profession, one of which may be death. Again, the key I stress is to stop the threat. Any other thoughts at the time can get you hurt.

Dark brown eyelids
I have fair skin but my eyelids are dark brown. They are little rough and skin is too dark than the rest of my face. Confused is it hyperpigmentation or something else. Please suggest a remedy.

Thanks for the query. This is a common condition, its an urban life style related problem. Dark circles around the eyes at your age is unusual and could indicate an insulin resistance. Skin is the mirror of internal health and to get a perfect skin you need to treat both ways - internally and externally. See a Dermatologist who will recommend a product for reducing pufiness and darkness and the correct method to use it, it should be dabbed and not rub. He may request a few blood tests to understand the blood chemistry and treat them specifically. Avoid rubbing the eyes as it will increase pigmentation. Now-a-days many chemical peels also offers realistic promise- like glycolic acid and lactic acid peels. Dermapen in combination with mesotherapy also helps. A healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.

Conference on inclusive education for children with disabilities in CEECIS
Welcome to the conference web page where you can find all the available information and resources.
In Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, children with disabilities continue to be marginalized. Hundreds of thousands of children with disabilities are in institutions, or at home, and remain out of school. While children from marginalized groups, in general, continue to lack appropriate and high quality education, children with disabilities, often receive no education at all.
To address this issue, a conference took place in Moscow on 27-29 September 2011.
Twenty countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Croatia, Finland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Russian Federation, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, USA ) took part, as well as representatives from the Council of Europe, the European Agency for Development of Special Needs Education, and Special Olympics.

This Valentine 1 Mirror Mount will not fit
Bought this Valentine 1 Mirror Mount on ebay assuming it would fit.
It will not. The short bolt install cannot be aligned properly up and down to allow the mirror to be positioned to see rearward. If set up catty corner, the lower ball fitting fouls on the mirror base.
Thought I would pass this info to anyone else who is thinking of purchasing this item.
Thanks for the heads up. I was going to get one. :/
I realized I had the visor mount, maybe will see how that goes tomorrow.
I bought this mount the 5/8 one and it works perfict with a few mods. Hard wired it in to the fuse box with a fuse jumper good to go.
Take off the plastic cover on the rear view mirror and trim off the part that covers the shaft and put two wrapps of rubber tape on the mirror shaft and everything is nice and thight and looks perfict.

Nick Matthew wants his running feud with world No.1 James Willstrop to boost squash's bid to return as an Olympic sport.
The top two players in the world have been labelled the Coe and Ovett of squash as they admit they drive each other up the wall.
The two Brits are seeded to clash in the climax of the ATCO PSA World Series Squash Finals at Queen's Club which starts today.
Squash is campaigning to be re-admitted as an Olympic sport in 2020 and a decision will be announced in September.
And world No.2 Matthew reckons another high-octane meeting with Willstrop - who he first played in the Yorkshire Under 12s - will help boost the profile of the sport here.
"It is safe to say we don't get on," said the Sheffield star.

Any media types care to explain how they decide which criminals get to own their aliases and which ones don't? I ask because I can't recall a single news article about "Clark Rockefeller" (Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter) that didn't have his moniker in scare quotes, nor can I recall a single article about "Sarah Jane Olson" (Kathleen Soliah) that did.
Apparently, stealing an election, murdering 17 protesters (that we know of) and banning a wake for one isn't enough to change President Hopenchange's non-stance on Iran. Presidential spokeshole Robert Gibbs (who has already performed the monumental task of making Scott McClellan look marginally competent) non-explains the administration's non-stance thusly:
"He'll continue to speak out in support of those that are seeking to demonstrate and do so in a way peacefully," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told FOX News. "We don't want to inject our government in the place of the reformers in this equation."
Mr. Gibbs goes on to non-explain the government's non-stance by cautioning that staking out a position on Iranian democracy, pro or con, could cause the U.S. to become a "political football" or "foil." What I want to know is, if the US of friggin' A can't be trusted to take the side of freedom and democracy everywhere in the world, then who the hell can?!
UPDATE: More here.
Tell that to any (1) Hot Air reader or (2) Arab of any faith.
Via Howard Bashman, the WaPo decries the majority ruling in District Attorney's Office v. Osborne, which held 5-4 (and you don't have to guess who the 5 and the 4 were) that prisoners have no constitutional right to post-conviction DNA testing, though they do have that right under the laws of most states. What I'd like to know is, what on earth do the other 4 Justices think? That the Sixth Amendment guarantees every criminal defendant the right to two speedy trials? Seriously. It's one thing to allow post-conviction DNA testing for convicts who had no reasonable opportunity to present that same evidence at trial. That I support fully. But it's quite another to ask for post-conviction DNA testing for a rapist/kidnapper who had every opportunity to present that same evidence at trial, and declined to do so because he knew the results would be damning. If we're going to give criminal defendants a second bite at that apple, why stop with DNA? Let's give every criminal defendant a right to two criminal trials, with the second trial allowing him to adopt every legal theory of innocence, justification or excuse that was not raised at the first. Lost the "I didn't do it" trial? No problem, plead insanity now.
This story also raises troubling questions about Alaska's criminal justice system. According to the WaPo, Osborne was actually paroled for this brutal attack two years ago, after finally admitting to the Parole Board that he had in fact committed the crime. Apparently in Alaska, no crime is too heinous for parole; you just have to admit that you did it and pinky-swear you won't do it again. And so far, Mr. Osborne hasn't done it again. OK, so he maybe did break into some family's home, duct-tape and pistol-whip the occupants and rob them at gunpoint. There is that. But at least he didn't rape anybody, which was the crime he had pinky-sworn not to do, so I'm sure the Parole Board can rest easy.
Anwyn passes along this little gem regarding New York Times reporter David Rohde, who recently escaped from terrorists who had kidnapped him last November, but whose abduction was not reported in the meantime. Money quote:
Afghan officials confirmed the kidnapping in the days after the abduction, but The Associated Press and most other Western news outlets respected a request from the [New York] Times to not report on the abductions because the publicity could negatively affect hostage rescue efforts and imperil Rohde's life.
"From the early days of this ordeal, the prevailing view among David's family, experts in kidnapping cases, officials of several governments and others we consulted was that going public could increase the danger to David and the other hostages. The kidnappers initially said as much," Bill Keller, the Times' executive editor, said in a story posted on the Times' Web site.
"We decided to respect that advice, as we have in other kidnapping cases, and a number of other news organizations that learned of David's plight have done the same. We are enormously grateful for their support."
She notes (and I concur) how comforting it is to know that the Paper With A Record really does know how to keep its yap shut as long as it's one of their own they're trying to protect, rather than some piddling lightweight stuff like … oh, I dunno … NATIONAL FRIGGIN' SECURITY????!!!!!!

It could have been worse; he could have dialed 911.
Anwyn and Walter Olson link to the latest abuse of two wacky common law torts 42 states have had the good sense to abolish but North Carolina has not: criminal conversation and alienation of affection. The Rosen law firm have a useful article on the topic, and I'd urge you to RTWT. Alienation of affection occurs where (1) the marriage entailed love between the spouses in some degree, (2) the spousal love was alienated and destroyed and (3) the third party's malicious conduct contributed to or caused the loss of affection. Note that it doesn't require this third party to have sexual relations, nor romantic involvement of any kind, with the spouse. All it requires is that this person "maliciously" act in a way that causes or contributes to, the loss of love between them. Per Rosen, NC courts have generally presumed such love to exist up until the moment the couple separates, so even if you want to tell a friend of your own sex to finally get up the guts to leave that blankety-blank, and you happen to live in North Carolina (or, for that matter, in Hawaii, Illinois, New Hampshire, Mississippi, New Mexico, South Dakota or Utah), tread lightly. Once your friend physically leaves (or is left by) the spouse, then as a matter of law there's "no love lost" between them, so feel free to give your friend all the moral support you want but don't say or do anything that could be construed to corroborate any "malicious" acts that may have preceded the move. And if you do have romantic feelings for that person, think twice about revealing them to that person, and 100 times before revealing them to anyone else, before the divorce is final.
On the other hand, if you are that spouse, you might be thinking to yourself "Hey, I know how to defeat that malice thing. My ex can't sue me for alienating my own affection, so why don't I protect my new flame by telling her I'm single? There's nothing 'malicious' about sleeping with someone you didn't know was married, right?" To which the answer is, "right, but…" and it's a big but. This brings us to the other wacky tort, criminal conversation (i.e., non-criminal adultery), which merely requires the plaintiff to show that sex between the defendant and the spouse occurred, that a valid marriage existed at the time, and that the action was brought before the statute of limitations has run. Conspicuously absent from this definition is any malice requirement, or any requirement that the defendant knew, or even should have known, about the marriage. So if you think you are protecting your paramour by playing the strategic jerk, you're not; you're just being a jerk.
At this point I should remind you that while I am a lawyer, I am not your lawyer. Anyone who finds themselves in this situation is advised to retain competent legal counsel before doing anything that could prejudice his position. And if you think a blog post by a lawyer who doesn't even practice family law is legal counsel, competent or otherwise, you might want to consider psychological or psychiatric counseling as well (and no, IANAP, but thanks for not asking).
UPDATE: JJV, a fellow conservative who I like but who seems to have an uncanny ability to be wrong about everything, does not disappoint. He does have an interesting point about New Hampshire, though.

Eagles QB Michael Vick spoke briefly to a Philadelphia TV station on Tuesday and said he regretted that his controversial birthday party on June 24-25 even occurred.
Vick, talking to Fox 29-TV (video embedded below), said "there should have never been a party" in a 20-second video segment as he was walking from a local courthouse into a waiting car.
Police in Virginia on Tuesday said Vick was not a suspect in the shooting that occurred outside the party. Cops said they know the identity of the shooter, but cannot prosecute right now because of a lack of cooperation from the victim and a lack of witnesses.
On the Fox video, a questioner asked Vick if he felt he had been railroaded by the news media since the shooting.
"I haven't been railroaded at all," he said.
The NFL has not provided an update into its investigation into whether Vick violated the terms of his 2009 reinstatement.

I have a dynamic horizontal line above my upper lip (Photo 1) that is activated when I smile/laugh. I saw a doctor who put 4 units of Botox across the line + some microdrops of Juvederm.The Botox made it worse and more noticeable when I smiled (Photo 2). Another doctor suggested trying 2 units of Botox in the vertical muscles in the middle of the line instead of the horizontal ones. I would appreciate any feedback on the best treatment and any doctors I can consult with in Los Angeles area.

I am still thinking about that pretty vintage puppy party that I featured yesterday… oh that was just so adorable. And now that I'm thinking about dogs, I thought I'd share quickly those bookends that I ordered from Barnes and Noble last year (post here) because I realized this morning that I never showed you how they look in-situ. It took about a month for them to reach me (int'l shipping is always slow), but now that I have them I can't imagine owning any other bookends.
These white dachshund darlings were designed by Jonathan Adler for Barnes & Noble and you can buy them online (they ship to Europe, too). I ordered them in October and they arrived around the holidays but I was so busy that I forgot to tell you how cute they are! I'm not in love with the lumpy bumpy wallpaper in the flat we are renting right now but it's not bad either…. you have to appreciate and work with what you've been given sometimes, right? And so I have learned to live with the lumps. :)
And these are just snapshots from my day today, but above I've shown some loot from my weekly farmers' market visit this morning. Not styled to perfection, just informal snaps — but this is my life and my typical days are casual and relaxed just like the flowers shown on my coffee table. In addition to tulips I found some yellow flowering branches (though it will be a surprise to see what will blossom as I have no clue what the flower lady called them in German), a little wooden doll for a euro and a pretty bread basket with ceramic blue and white handles for a few euros that I will now use for my mail.
Here are the flowers now that I've arranged them. Again, no frills — they are wrapped with green floral tape to keep them together as tulips can sag and I've placed them in a white ceramic canister from IKEA. But the over all look is warm and welcoming just how I like it — I believe that real beauty doesn't need to be put on, are you with me on that? Style should be effortless because that's when you know it's authentic, and uniquely you.
How is your day? Did spring visit your part of the world today as it has for me?

Gardening with Deer Too Near
February 11, 2013
Plant damage from deer is an all too common question at most University of Illinois Extension offices. "Most of the calls are about feeding damage, but rubbing damage is also a problem," says Rhonda Ferree, Horticulture Educator with University of Illinois Extension.
Male deer damage trees and shrubs by rubbing their antlers on them. They do this in the fall to remove the soft velvet covering and to strengthen their back and shoulder muscles. Rubbing damage will tear the bark off small trees. If the bark is stripped all the way around the tree, it can girdle and kill the tree. If the damage is only part way around the tree, the tree should recover. Clean up any loose bark by trimming it back to solid bark material. Do not apply pruning paints. Just let the plant heal naturally.
Overall, feeding damage can be more harmful than rubbing damage. Deer feed on a wide variety of plants, including fruits, buds, flowers, and small stems. Like us, they have favorite foods, but when food is scarce, they'll eat just about any plant.
What can be done? There are four basic options available: fencing, repellents, predators, and deer-resistant plants. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but using deer-resistant plants is often the easiest solution in the long run. According to Ferree, plant material in deer infested areas should be the type deer don't prefer in their diets. Costly browsing may be reduced or eliminated by planting less-preferred species or by establishing susceptible plants only in areas protected from deer.
Whether or not a particular plant species or variety will be eaten depends on the deer's previous experience, nutritional needs, plant palatability, seasonal factors, weather conditions, and the availability of alternative foods. Deer are creatures of habit and once they become aware of an area with available foodstuffs, you can expect regular visits. Never feed the deer, even with salt blocks.
Considerable research has been done to determine which plants deer prefer to eat. No plant species will be avoided by deer under all conditions, but planting deer-resistant plants works for many gardeners. For example, deer really like to eat hosta, which is a common shade garden plant. Replacement plants that deer don't usually like include bleeding heart, wide ginger, May apple, and Jack-in-the-pulpit.

Garrett reported Boehner dismissed Dems' nonbinding resolution as "nothing more than political theatre" -- but he had backed GOP's
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
On the February 8 edition of Fox News' Special Report, Fox News congressional correspondent Major Garrett reported that House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) "dismissed debate on any nonbinding resolutions" opposing President Bush's troop increase in Iraq, then aired Boehner's February 8 statement that a "nonbinding resolution is nothing more than political theater" and that it "demoralizes our troops in the field." But Garrett did not mention that Boehner apparently held a different view of nonbinding resolutions when he was majority leader. As Media Matters noted, in June 2006, House Republican leaders forced the House to debate a nonbinding resolution that established the war in Iraq as "part of the Global War on Terror" and asserted that "it is not in the interest of the United States to set an arbitrary date for withdrawal or redeployment of United States Armed Forces from Iraq." During the debate on that resolution, Boehner stated that it was "important" for the country that the House was having the debate because "[t]he American public deserves to hear how their elected leaders will respond to international terrorism and those enemies who seek to destroy our American way of life." He also argued that the United States needed to remain in Iraq:
Will we fight or will we retreat? That is the question that is posed to us. Some of my friends on the other side of the aisle often refer to Iraq as a distraction.
They have called Operation Iraqi Freedom a war of choice that isn't part of the real war on terror. Someone should tell that to al Qaeda. Let's be clear here. Those who say this is a war of choice are nothing more than wrong. This is a war of necessity that we must fight.
At Boehner's February 8 press conference discussing the nonbinding resolutions against Bush's Iraq plan, a reporter asked the congressman about the June 2006 resolution. Boehner said that the 2006 resolution had been "moved through the committee process, was brought to the floor under a wide debate" -- in fact a closed rule permitting no amendments -- "to allow members the opportunity to make it clear how they believed the conduct of the war was going." Asked if "it's not part of what just happens here in Washington," Boehner stated:
BOEHNER: No. This isn't about having a debate about Iraq and the need for us to win in Iraq, and it's part of the global war on terror.
This is over a specific tactic, a strategy if you will, used by the White House. And if they feel that strongly about this new strategy, then they ought to have the courage to do what the majority should do, and that is to put forward their alternative.
On February 9, the Los Angeles Times noted that, in December 1995, Boehner -- and 220 other Republicans -- "backed a nonbinding resolution opposing President Clinton's plans to send 20,000 U.S. forces to Bosnia to enforce the peace there."
From the February 8 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
GARRETT: Pennsylvania Democrat and Iraq war critic John Murtha intends to prevent the president from deploying up to two combat battalions, due to arrive in Baghdad in early spring, if they lack sufficient training and equipment.
House Republicans said they welcome debate on Murtha's binding efforts to block the troop surge, but dismissed debate on any nonbinding resolutions.
BOEHNER: A nonbinding resolution is nothing more than political theater that means nothing and I believe that it demoralizes our troops in the field.
GARRETT: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sharply disagreed.
PELOSI: With all due respect to the distinguished minority leader, next week's debate on the floor is one that the American people expect and deserve. This is going to be a solemn debate about the most serious matter that comes before the Congress.
GARRETT: That House debate will last a full three days, plenty of time, Democrats hope, to force fence-sitting Republicans to actually oppose the troop surge. House GOP leaders can't say how many of their rank and file will actually break ranks. Current estimates run from a low of 20 to a high of 50 House Republicans who may oppose the president.

installing full frame windows with existing siding
I need some advice on how to install new construction full frame windows and keep my existing aluminum siding intact. How do I properly weather proof the nail fin and flashings? Removing and replacing the siding is not an option right now. And I do not want to use pocket windows. I like the Integrity Ultrex series. Currently my home has single pane double hung windows with the exterior storms and aluminum siding. Is there a solution where I could cut back the siding to properly install the flashing and then use some sort of trim to cover the flashing?
If you want to maintain the exterior siding, new construction windows are not the correct choice. You would go with replacement windows that would use the frame of the windows you have.
Why are you using new construction units?
Generally, you need to remove the siding around a window opening, in order to properly install and flash a new-construction type window.
However, it is possible to install a N/C window, if you have enough room to flash the nailing fins. The general rule is that you want approximately 4" of space around the window and to the siding edge, to apply flexible flashing over the fins. You can cheat this measurement.
Figure out what you have for a window Rough Opening, and also har far your installed alumnium siding edge is from that R.O.
As stated, you can cheat that down. What you want is obviously enough space for the nailing fins to lay flat, and still be able to apply a flashing over the fins, that will stick to the sheathing.
FWIW: We prefer to use Tyvek tape over the nailing fins, because it lessons the thickness of the area around the window (nailing-fin thickness + Flaxible flashing thickness = can equal as much as 1/4").
You can then install your trim boards around the area after that. My advice is to use a PVC composite type trimboard, and install it so the edge meets up to the Aluminum J-Channel.
Here is a picture of the the area I am referring to. The siding here is wood, but the "concept" is the same:
Thanks Atlantic! That is exactly the type of solution that I was looking for. Question, do I install a J-Channel around the siding that I trimmed back to edge it against the PVC trim board? Sorry if I have the terminology wrong.

/// How a Man in Austria Used Legos to Hack Amazon's Kindle E-Book Security
I wouldn't normally pay much attention to an item like this, but there's just something about it that I find fascinating, involving Amazon's Kindle and Legos. A university professor in Austria has released the video below, showing how he has automated a low-tech approach to bypassing the digital rights management system on the Kindle. His name is Peter Purgathofer , and he's an associate professor at the Vienna University of Technology. Using Lego's Mindstorms — a basic robotics kit popular with hobbyists — plus a Kindle and a Mac, he has assembled a way to photograph what's on the screen, and then submit it to a cloud-based text-recognition service. It's sort of a combination of high tech meets low. The scanning is done by way of the Mac's iSight camera. The Mindstorms set does two things: Hits the page-advance button on the Kindle (it appears to be an older model, like the one in the picture above), then mashes the space bar on the Mac, causing it to take a picture. And while the video doesn't show exactly what's running on the Mac, it could easily be Photo Booth combined with a script that auto-submits the pictures to pretty much any free optical-character-recognition service, like, maybe, FreeOCR . I reached out to Purgathofer to ask a little more about this, but haven't heard back yet. On his Vimeo page , he describes this as a "provocative thought experiment" and not an invitation or instruction on how to carry it out. Update: I just got an email from Purgathofer. He says he got the idea for using the Kindle and the Mindstorms kit for something neither were intended for. "It ended being a reflection on the loss of long-established rights when you buy an e-book
