Greenpeace activists climbed to the top of Amazon's new headquarters in Seattle — right across from Microsoft HQ — on Thursday morning, rappelled from the roof, and hung a giant banner that read: "Amazon, Microsoft: how clean is your cloud?"
"If we want to get to a renewable energy economy, we can't get there without leadership from these companies," Gary Cook, IT analyst for Greenpeace, told Wired Enterprise's Caleb Garling. "For too long, too many of the energy decisions have been dictated by a small set of companies who are very happy with the status quo."
Amazon's argument about why its cloud is green, from the Wired Enterprise report:
Amazon says that its AWS cloud — a service that provides computing resources to companies across the globe — provides an inherit boost to the environment. "Instead of each company having their own datacenter that serves just them, Amazon Web Services makes it possible for hundreds of thousands of companies to consolidate their datacenter use into a handful of datacenters in the AWS Cloud, resulting in much higher utilization rates and eliminating the waste that occurs when datacenters don't operate near their capacity," Amazon spokesperson Tera Randall tells Wired. "The cloud enables a combined smaller carbon footprint that significantly reduces overall consumption."
Two years ago, Greenpeace took on Facebook for using coal to generate energy in its server farms, and last year, after Facebook adjusted its operation, Greenpeace declared victory. Earlier this week, the activist organization took aim at Apple over the design of its data center in Maiden, North Carolina, Garling reports.
When Wired asked Greenpeace if it planned to drape a similar banner over Apple headquarters, the organization did not rule out the possibility. Google, on the other hand, gets kudos:
Though Greenpeace has criticized Google for killing off its solar thermal power programs, Cook reiterated Greenpeace's support for the way the search giant powers its data centers. In January of this year, Greenpeace released its "Cool IT Leaderboard," in which it rated companies for their leadership in adopting clean energy. Google came out on top. Cook claims that in Iowa, where both Google and Microsoft have data centers, Google has taken the opportunity to use wind power and sell energy back into the grid. Microsoft, he says, has not.
In news Friday, Apple vowed to develop a 100% renewable data center.
So what's Greenpeace's beef? "Greenpeace's protests this morning are not about Microsoft and Amazon's carbon footprints. They're aimed at the company's future energy investments. Cook also says that these big companies need to be more transparent with their actual energy usage. Amazon says it does not ever share such information publicly," Wired Enterprise reports.
Cook does not necessarily disagree that Amazon is helping save the planet by building a cloud that anyone can use. "I think the cloud, if built the right way, can be a big win for the environment," he says. "Put it in the right places. Get the right power lined up to provide them. They can be leading the charge away from dirty to clean sources."
Join the discussion: Is the cloud inherently more green, per Amazon? Will Greenpeace never be happy, per some commenters on the Wired Enterprise story? Regardless, is the group's pressure on the cloud players paying off with Apple and others going more green than others,Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

No, I have no connection to Davidson's, or to Ruger. But, both are located near my airport.
My only Ruger is a Super Redhawk Alaskan (snubby barrel) in .454 Casull.
I paid $900 used, but like new. It has a Magna-ported barrel, and front tritium night sight.
They also had a "plain" Alaskan for $750.
I couldn't resist, went to look for myself. I see all five Ruger SRH models at Davidson's list for $1049.
But, they have none is stock, so you can't get the "local gun stores" quotes.
I saved you the "wild goose chase". Sorry. But, sounds like you are getting a good SRH deal at $755.

How should I respond to my family when they tell me I am too old?
My boyfriend and I want to start trying for a baby, but my family keeps telling me that at 35, I'm too old to have a baby.
This would be my first pregnancy.
What should I do?

NFC Payment Systems Could Radically Alter The Theme Park Experience
Students at University College Antwerp have envisioned a contactless payment program for the country's largest amusement park.
Product Development graduate students at the University College of Antwerp in Belgium designed a Near Field Communications (NFC) payment system specifically for theme parks and music festivals so people can pay for things like food and tickets more seamlessly.
The basic concept is that instead of replacing wireless technology all together, NFC would be more useful if it replaced analog technology like bank checks, tokens, keys, and tickets. The design is meant to help vendors take this step forward in providing an improved experience. The experience design seeks to collapse the digital wallet into different types of data that reflects traffic and transactions conducted:
This both enables optimizing staff utilization based on mapping of daily variations in workload and demand, and reducing payment fraud by only transferring digital money. Recording of the history and patterns of the visitors enable profiling and prediction of behavior and preferences. The visitor himself can keep track of his route and data such as fast-pass tickets and photo's while browsing the interface.
The students, which include Coen Claassen, Isabelle De Nil, and Ward Vancoppenolle, are currently in negotiation talks with Belgium's largest theme park.

Succession law : leaving a legacy for pets
Hannah, Frances M. (2008) Succession law : leaving a legacy for pets. Proctor, 28(10), pp. 17-20.
|Accepted Version (PDF 119kB)
The fate of a much-loved pet is often a cause of worry or distress for elderly or ill testators, and lawyers may find it difficult to reassure their clients of the well-being of the pet after the death of the client. It is true that often there are limited options for the care of a pet after a testator's death, but some suggestions can be made to alleviate the concern felt by clients in this situation. This paper deals with the various options, and suggests that there are pitfalls to be avoided in trying to provide for a pet after your death.

Blood in the Streets
by Tom Gardner
Alexandria, VA (Sept. 2, 1998) -- "Blood in the streets. Blood in the streets!"
In the heat of a market downturn, when investment accounts have been quartered, it can be difficult to keep our heads about us and stick to the business of valuing companies. After all, in heavy downdrafts, the rubber ducky gets thrown out with the baby and the bath water. The lines between excellence and mediocrity are smeared, like a thick red stroke of fingerpaint. Certain financial pundits are prone to yelling, "Sell, sell, sell!" and flipping lint in the air.
Together, we suffer through an indiscriminate discrimination against all equities -- which, to our Foolish sensibility, is only slightly less impractical than indiscriminate allegiance to all equities. Though we Fools must occasionally suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous ignorance about our investment approach, we must persist... press forward again and again, and never stop pressing forward. With this in mind, I'd like to put off our discussion of Microsoft's business for a day, and make room for a simple restatement of our Cash-King approach to the market. Here are a few of our beliefs:
a. We believe in holding onto common stocks like houses, since in the U.S. this century, stocks have been the best place to have your money over ten-year periods.
Imagine for a second what would happen if the same level of accountability and open dialogue was engaged in by brokerage firms, financial advisors and consultants, and mutual fund and money managers. Imagine if the mainstream media suggested that they should. After all, has a major media organization ever done a careful examination of Wall Street business practices? (Smiling) Huh. Hmm. Hmph.
In the spirit of public accountability, insufferable pride, and as a reflection of our love affair with not falling for substandard businesses, I'd like to refer you today back to the Cash-King column inked on August 27, 1998 (Nine West's Stumble).
My parents would advise that I let my actions speak for themselves. But after spending twenty minutes on the phone with a New York Times reporter during yesterday's media craze, a reporter who seemed convinced that the Internet is harmful to people looking for financial help, I cannot contain myself. (Author's repeat: Has a major media organization ever done a careful examination of Wall Street business practices? (Smiling) Huh. Hmm. Hmph.)
And so, let's look back at the Cash-King report on Nine West and consider what's happened since. On August 27th, we walked together through the shoe-sellers' financial statements -- noting that their income statement looked strong, with sales on the rise and margins holding steady. For those only following Nine West's earnings numbers, stacking them up against Wall Street estimates, the stock's fall from $52 to $19 was inexplicable. Together, we dug a little deeper.
Over on the balance sheet, we found accounts receivable on the rise, indicating that the company had to sign less favorable deals with its distributors ("Pay us a little later, that's okay."). More worrisome, inventory -- already at very high levels -- was also climbing. The company's Flow Ratio, our most important metric, had risen from 1.97 in 1996, to 3.03 to 1997, to 3.17 in fiscal 1998, to 4.30 in the first quarter of 1999 -- a very bad sign.
In fact, on August 28th, with Nine West carrying a Flow Ratio of 4.30 and a stock priced at $18 1/4 per share, the Cash-King column included the following:
A Flow Ratio of 4.30 positions the company on foot heading South on Route 95 North.
Now, less than a week later, Nine West today forecast lower than expected results for the remainder of fiscal 1999. On a flat day for the market, its stock closed down $5, to $11 per share.
The purpose of this revisit is not to suggest that, within a week, we expect our opinions to be confirmed in the public markets! Nor is it to imply that your Cash-King managers will always be right in our analysis. The purpose of it is to cite another example where our simple tool for measuring product and cash flow (The Flow Ratio) and our further explanation for evaluating businesses (11 Steps to Cash-King Investing) uncovered a company we would not want to own.
And is this stuff complex? No. Uncle Mycroft, one of our favorite contributors to the Web boards, is in the habit of reminding us that in finance what we can't teach to everyone isn't worth teaching. Simplicity is truth, and truth is beauty. If you have any questions about any aspects of the Cash-King approach to saving and investing, the allocation of the Cash-King portfolio, or the Cash-King's tools for business evaluation, please post them in our Cash-King Strategy folder.
I'll close by restating a few of our basic principles:
Yes, we favor common stocks for long-term investing. No, we don't buy indiscriminately. Yes, we plan to remain fully invested through good markets and bad. No, we wouldn't commit to holding businesses that showed a continual and dramatic decline in operations. Yes, we believe that evidence of underlying financial strength shows up on the balance sheet. And yes, we are Fools.
Tom Gardner, Fool

Lady Trojans Pick up Road Win
LAFAYETTE, LA – After four consecutive losses on the road, the UALR women's basketball team finally broke the streak Wednesday night at Louisiana.
A strong performance from freshmen Sharde' Collins and Keanna Keys – who tied and set career highs in points – helped boost UALR to a 63-57 victory at the Cajun Dome.
Kiera Clark was the team's high scorer with 14 points and had eight rebounds, while Collins tied her career high with 10 points and Keys added 10 of her own to break her previous career high by one. Collins was 5 of 6 from the field while contributing three assists and two rebounds.
Shanity James also scored 10 while adding six rebounds. Hannah Fohne scored nine and led the team with nine rebounds. Six of the Trojans' seven scorers on the night had at least nine points.
UALR (12-10, 7-5 Sun Belt Conference) had not won a road game since Jan. 4 at UT Arlington, but it never trailed against Louisiana (10-13, 3-9) after the game's first 30 seconds. The Trojans led by at least five points for the entire second half, though the Cajuns threatened a bit with 3-pointers including one at the final buzzer to make it a six-point victory instead of nine.
The win was UALR's third straight against the Ragin' Cajuns and swept the regular-season series from them this year. The Trojans have now won six of their last seven games in the Cajun Dome.
At the start of the second half, the Trojans got a fast-break layup from Taylor Gault that looked as though it was going to break the half open. But the offense slowed after that, and two 3-pointers from the Cajuns in the first 10 minutes kept the home team within five points.
With 10 minutes left, UALR finally earned a comfortable lead for good. Baskets by Clark, Fohne and Keys put the Trojans back ahead by double digits. A 3-pointer from Louisiana's Sylvana Okde briefly put the home team within eight again, but a Fohne layup with six minutes to play made it a 10-point game.
The lead did not drop below seven again until the last minute when the outcome was no longer in question. UALR led by as many as 12 points with 2:32 to go when James scored her 10th point of the night.
Things were stickier for the Trojans in the first half. With the contest tied at 14-14 at the period's midpoint, the Trojans went on a 10-0 run that took up more than five minutes. Clark and Collins scored four points each in that span as the UALR defense did not allow the Cajuns to take uncontested shots.
The Trojans went up 11 at 29-18 with 90 seconds to go in the period, but five consecutive points by Louisiana cut the lead to six at halftime.
With one win in The Bayou State behind them, the Trojans stay in Louisiana for the next three days before taking on ULM on Saturday at noon looking for a road trip sweep.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/7/2010 (2524 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Development of the eastern escarpment area of Riding Mountain National Park could be a decade away, but it's never too early to get people dreaming of its potential.
With more than 900 current and former McCreary residents taking part in the McCreary and District Homecoming and the 99th annual fair and rodeo this weekend, the Agassiz Mountain Development Group is taking the opportunity to reacquaint folks with the once-vibrant ski and resort area.
"People would be walking about and reminiscing at the site whether or not we had an event," AMDG founder and general manager Kelly Rose told the Sun. "We're taking advantage of the fact that they're there so ... maybe the same passion I have will be passed onto someone who attends and maybe they can open a lot more opportunities in terms of what can be done there."
Just as events are winding down in McCreary Sunday, visitors will have the opportunity to tour the site, ask questions and pitch ideas about the development group's plans to create a four-season tourism hub that uses downhill skiing as its flagship attraction.
"Because (the tours are) more of a chance to reminisce, there's a lot of pictures of the resort in its heyday so we hope that in seeing what it was, it will also inspire people to consider what it can be again, only better," Rose said.
Three years ago, AMDG began investigating potential development of the area where Mount Agassiz Ski Resort operated until it fell into bankruptcy and then into receivership in 2000. The resort first opened for skiing in the 1960s.
The development group has been working on conceptual plans for a multi-seasonal recreation and tourism hub at the site and has plans to step forward as a proponent when the time is right, Rose said.
In June 2009, Parks Canada presented the results of the exhaustive environmental, structural and mechanical assessments that were completed to determine Agassiz's start point for potential revitalization.
Although the current park management plan stipulates that no new leases would be granted for downhill skiing at RMNP, Rose is confident the groundswell of support that's growing locally and throughout the province, will convince park officials otherwise. Parks officials will begin drafting the upcoming five-year management plan soon, as the current plan expires in 2012.
Site tours will be ongoing from noon until 4 p.m. Sunday. Complimentary refreshments are available.

Every year, during the last week of January, the Swiss alpine village of Chateau d'Oex (pronounced "day") organizes a Hot-Air Ballooning event with hundreds of colorful balloons participating from many countries. Rides unfortunately costs a bomb.
These were shot with a 70-200 mm f/2.8 L IS and 24-70 mm f/2.8 L. The two best lenses that any Canon owner can have.
If you constantly get rejections for blurred and noisy images, why not try your hand at Vectors. It can be a pain to learn but once you have gotten the basics you can really do wonderful things with Vectors. Almost lifelike 3d stuff.
Here's a sample of what you can do with an old blurred photo and some time to kill. Took me around 20 minutes to do it.
So what do you do with pimply faced, snort nosed wannabe models? Although you can tell him or her to *bleep* off, a photographer has to always be polite (most of the time) to the models. So next best thing to do is to focus on a smoother body part and give it a good background blur with shallow DOF. And for good measure crop out half of the face like so. You won't have to spend the next 2 weeks smoothing out the face in Photoshop. This technique only works for stock. If you're commission to take portraits shots of someone say for a wedding then it is a different story ...
Everyone feels excited when they find their images being used somewhere. Unfortunately those designers aren't going to send you a postcard telling you where they used them. But here is a well known trick that you can use to find your images on the internet.
Google one of the following:
1. copyright (your nickname) 2. copyright (your real name)
3. photo credits (your nickname)
4. photo credits (your real name)
For example, I would google copyright shuttlecock and see what comes up. Sometimes you have to wade through all the stock sites with your images before you find the gem. Almost like digging for gold.
Recently found this on the web.
Do you know that by pressing Ctrl + H you can toggle show/hide selected path. This is useful to see your artwork without the selected paths obscuring your view, especially useful when coloring your objects.
Do you know that by pressing Ctrl + U you can toggle on and off the smart guides feature. Smart guides are very useful if you want to move objects around and line it up against another object. But can be very annoying to have it on all the time. So Ctrl + U is a quick way to turn it on and off.
When clicking around using the pen tool, before you let go of your left mouse button, you can shift the point by holding the space bar and moving your mouse. Very convenient and handy for that extra precision when drawing your object...
These are the top 10 "hot bikini girls" in DT ranked by the most dls.
That extra pocket money that it provides is fantastic (although I do hate those cheap 0.30cts sales). Pushes me to learn and improve on photography. Taught me about vectors which I knew nothing about a year ago.
Hopefully I see more sales here.
Although we can include text in vectors, we can't leave it as it is. Just in case the person who downloads the vectors is in Mongolia and they only have Mongolian fonts installed in their computer. They won't be able to see the text properly. So we need to convert them to outlines. Quick way to do this is to right click on the text and select Create Outlines. Now every literate person can read your text.
This really fascinates me.

Ladies & Gents,
Operating System: Back|Track5 r1
Box: Toshiba NB255-N250
Updates: Fully up to date via: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
I have recently run into a huge problem. After I had finished my quickset.sh script QuickSet I decided to do a demonstration for some fellow co-workers and ran into an error with the script. To follow along with my steps and what I did please grab a copy. By using the script you will speed up the debugging process since it is all automated, this will hopefully save you timeI am going to list the steps I have taken and in the order in which I took them. The end state of the problem is a segmentation fault within airbase-ng; I'm listing the steps I took so that you can narrow that out of your solutions if you have one. I am hoping that someone on this forum has the answer. If you respond to this post, I ask that you please post cohesive thoughts so that a solution is announced, not just needless jabber. Thank you for your time.Code:svn checkout http://quickset.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ quickset
1) Airbase-NG is crashing during extended periods of usage. There are a lot of variables to consider with this bug: nmap, ettercap, dhcp3-server, etc...
2) I first chose to eliminate xterm as a factor by changing the script to the following on the airbase-ng launch line:I did this in the hopes that it would yield an error message while still allowing the script to continue; hence the ampersand. I had previously tried a variety of methods to evoke an error message, but was unsuccessful; evidently airbase-ng doesn't like to issue them out with regards to the at0 interfaceCode:airbase-ng -c $sac -e "$SSID" $pii &
3) I waited a little bit for at0 to not exist anymore, and then issued <crtl+c> within the script. The idea worked and I was given the following as output:4) I rewrote the airbase-ng and dhcp server part of the script so that i could launch them seperate and cancel DHCP out as a possible error cause. The most recent steps I have taken to narrow down the problem are:Code:./quickset.sh: line 1: 1866 Segmentation fault airbase-ng -c $sac -e "$SSID" $piiRoughly 3 minutes after creation, the at0 interface dies due to a segmentation fault.Code:./quickset.sh # I used the same wireless card for both the internet connected NIC and external. One might think this would be a problem, but I tried it with different cards and the same end result. For testing purposes feel free and unhindered to use the same card 1) Wireless NIC set to wlan0 4) Monitor Mode NIC set to mon0 I then chose 8 and proceeded.

Alabama man, 61, earns spot as college football kicker
By Verna Gates
BIRMINGHAM, Ala (Reuters) - When the recession booted Alan Moore out of a 37-year career in civil construction, he kicked back -- by becoming a kicker for an Alabama college football team at age 61.
On Saturday, Moore, affectionately referred to as "Pops" by his Faulkner University teammates, will get his first chance to kick in public for the small Christian school during a squad scrimmage in Montgomery. Four of his five grandchildren will be there to watch.
"I came back to play football," he told Reuters. "I know I can do it."
Back in his glory year of 1968, Moore kicked for a national title for Holmes Community College in Goodman, Mississippi. He had taken up the position in high school, thrilling his mother by kicking an extra point. The late Agnes Moore called it "the prettiest play she had ever seen."
"My momma wanted me to kick a football," he said.
But Moore's football career ended early in 1969 with the Vietnam War draft looming over his head. He and a buddy joined the Army thinking they could choose where they served.
Instead, he spent 10 months in a bunker, and his buddy was shot and paralyzed. Moore came home to work and raise a family, with college by then a distant dream.
He started practicing football again after he was laid off in 2009. Continued...

It Started When A Guy At The Bowling Place Accidentally Saw My Gf's Breast.It's been bothering me ever since. I and my gf went bowling no bra. A staff who was helping her saw her boobs when she leaned forward to pick the right bowling ball. I and the guy stood next to her. I saw what he saw. Her T shirt was quite comfy and loose. The shirt revealed her right and left breasts. My first reaction was upsetting, just like male animal trying to protect it's famale. But when I looked into the guy's eyes. I saw his eyes popped out of his eyes' socket. I saw he rubbed his nose and covered his mouth while talking. Later on, he kept checking on my gf. I thought that my gf accidentally turn him on. And that turned me on badly. Later on, I wanted a guy to see my gf naked. And I did succeed. I persuaded her to posed nude for oil paint. I brought her to soft swinging party where people ****** in the same room. I brought her to naked barbecue party. I hired a male masseur to rub her *****. And out of a sudden, she said she didn't wanna do this anymore. She said I needed a psychiatrist. And she left me. I begged her to come back. She did come back under a promised that I would never show her ***** off again. I had to take that. However, I still miss the old day. What I do now is, keep finding a stragner who is willing to come and see my gf's pic in my notebook. It is very rediculous. Two strangers, both guys, meet and look at pics of gf's *****. Ha Ha.
love to see her.
sorry mate its the same for thousands of guys we are all in the same boat
she was obviously a willing partner in your fantasies, good for the 2 of you.
I wanna be a stranger looking at your naked wife! add me? I'd love to. **** with a profile photo like that. of course!
Oh my God ! I share all of the sentiments & emotions expressed by everyone who has participated in

the debate that has followed in the wake of this marvellous story, so graphically written ! The world

is a beautiful place filled with such interesting people ! Thank you also to the visionary who established this website so that I can "feel" in the pleasures & disappointments, frustrations & fears of so many

exciting people !
Agree with Sino; hope you can work out something. It sounds as if she changed her mind suddenly - have you discussed this?
like to see her.
Keep posting her pictures here. The world will miss seeing her naked. But, don't risk losing her. Oh man. I would kill myself (figuratively) if I let someone like her go away. I rather ********** to my fantasies while she is still at my side than ********** to "her memories" once she is gone. Keep her man and don't risk that.
She is a beautiful lady!...................Gorgeous, to bad you don't share her!

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/1/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Arsenate and chromate are specifically adsorbing anions that are toxic to animals at elevated concentrations. Toxic concentrations can occur in agricultural soils and irrigation waters. A better understanding of the adsorption behavior of these ions is necessary. Adsorption of arsenate and chromate by iron oxide was investigated under changing conditions of solution pH and ionic strength. Our results show that chromate is more tightly held than arsenate. Our results will benefit scientists who are developing models of arsenate and chromate movement in arid zone soils. The results can be used to improve predictions of arsenate and chromate behavior in soils and thus aid action and regulatory agencies in the management of soils and waters which contain elevated concentrations of arsenate and chromate.
Technical Abstract: The rapid kinetics of arsenate and chromate adsorption/desorption on goethite (gamma-FeOOH) were investigated using the pressure-jump (p-jump) relaxation technique. The adsorption/desorption of these oxayanions on goethite involved a double relaxation event.The proposed mechanism for the adsorption of arsenate and chromate on goethite is a two step process resulting in the formation of an inner-sphere bidentate surface complex. The first step, associated with the fast tau values, involves an initial ligand exchange reaction of aqueous oxyanion species H2AsO4- or HCrO4-with goethite, forming an inner-sphere monodentate surface complex. The subsequent step, associated with the slow tau values, involves a second ligand exchange reaction, resulting in the formation of an inner-sphere bidentate surface complex. For both oxyanions, the rate constants for desorption were slower than the rate constants for adsorption and therefore the desorption process was the rate limiting step. In addition, results suggest that chromate may be the more mobile of the two oxyanions in soil systems.

If all Latinos were to stop working, the economy would be worse than it already is. Working immigrants are the BACKBONE of this country. This is supposed to be the land of the free, am I not correct?
However, there can be problems with SOME (NOT ALL) illegal immigrants where they come in for criminal acts,but let me remind you that these "criminals" are not just Latinos. They can be white people, blacks, Asians, Italians, whatever. So why try to stop only Hispanics?
Still, I declare this law as racist and unjust especially with Arizona's stupid sheriff, Joe Arpaio who keeps proving just how racist, unjust, and stupid this law really is. Jan Brewer should've known better. But then again, maybe this was just all fun and games to them. Mark my words: Brewer and Arpaio are OUT come election time.
We should do all we can to stop this law from going on. We've got to put everything we got into taking this bullshit out once and for all and prevent other states from even THINKING of passing this through.
I hope for the best to all good hard-working people who are working for a better and more fit life in, not only the United States, but other countries as well. 🙂
We are all one race: the Human Race. You are no different than I am and I am no different than you. We breathe the same air, we bleed the same color, and skin color is unimportant as hair or eye color. The only difference may be our personalities; but that is all.
Nothing more. God Bless.
July 22, 2010 2:29 am
This is bullshit, and racist being a certain skin color is not a crime, this will only tear more families apart! make them llegal! there here to give their families a better life, a life they dint get, and yes ther ways of getting here legal but to get a visa you pay a fourtune and spend hours to have someone just tell you better luck next time! Arizona this is not right, make them llegal they work here in jobs no one else wants, ther here for a better future for their children!!
Kimberly Harper permalinkApril 25, 2010 10:46 pm
I think this the SB 1070 Arizona Law is very wrong! It is going to cause more problems and more crime. It is going to tear apart families. It is going to affect a lot of people, legal and illegal, in a negative way. Why not just make a way for these people to become legal. Millions of them are already here, living and working. This is their home, this is where their family is. Just because they are not Americans does not mean they are criminals! There needs to be an Immigration Reform!

Mainsail Configurations and Fabrics

AirForce Sails Product Manager Brian Hancock continues his multi-part series on sails and sailmaking technology. (Review Part Three=.=)

The author's optimal configuration: "a large mainsail . . . and small, non-overlapping headsails," is evident aboard his own boat, above.

One of the most important things you should know about your mainsail is that it's the back of the main that works with your keel to provide lift when you are sailing to windward. This single fact will have a bearing on the shape and size of your sail, which in turn will influence the fabric and panel layout you choose. The back of the main becomes less important once you bear away, for then propulsion becomes more a factor of projected area than aerodynamic shape. But even cruising sailors who try their best to keep the wind at their back, need to go to windward on occasion. So if windward performance is what you want, then remember the roach. In this article we will take a brief look at sail plan configurations and how to achieve an optimum mainsail by choosing the appropriate size, fabric, and panel layouts.
For the last 10 years there has been a trend toward in-mast furling mainsails. It's impossible to argue against the convenience of push-button sailing and rolling the main into the mast to reduce sail is certainly a convenient way to go. The drawback is that for the main to roll away, you can't really have much sail area that extends beyond a straight line between the head and clew. It's true that you can gain a bit of area by having vertical battens (the kind often utilized in stowaway mains), but this is a token amount and hardly worth the aggravation of battens that roll up.

Days of Dacron meant cross-cut mainsails and miter-cut genoas, but newer materials provide a broad spectrum of options for the cruising sailor.

By extension, it can be argued that boats with rollaway mainsails do not have good windward performance, which in turn could lead to problems, especially if you are trying to sail off a lee shore. Now, I am not trying to be an alarmist (although last summer I did have a problem off the Azores Islands because of a sweeping current and a lack of pointing ability), but if you are looking at mainsail choices and considering sail plans, you might want to consider what I view to be an optimal configuration: a large mainsail with power in the back end, and small, non-overlapping headsails, each using the latest sail handling systems like batten-cars and lazyjacks to help with the main.
There are very few pure-cruising sailors who relish their time at sea and don't care how long it takes for them to get to the next port. The rest of us tweak and trim our sails to get better performance, hoping to save at least a few hours on each passage. We all look for and expect performance from our boats and it's the sail plan that provides it. Lighter, stronger, and more exotic fabrics are relatively new to the cruising market where DacronTM has long dominated, and there are good reasons for this. DacronTM is rugged and reliable, and despite stretching a little over time, it has proven to be the best fabric for those planning to go offshore. One drawback has been that as boats get bigger, the loads become greater, and the sails get heavier. But now, exotic materials are able to make sail handling easier, as well as making sails look better and last longer. The only problem that remains is that the profusion of choices complicates the sail-buying process and confuses sailors.

This laminated mainsail should provide several seasons of reliable performance.

As far as I am concerned, for cruising boats up to 50 feet in length, there are really only two, or possibly three, fabric choices. This is based upon my experience making many sails that have performed well over a wide range of conditions for many years. The aforementioned durable DacronTM is a staple in the sailmaking industry and it goes without saying that, you can't go wrong with DacronTM as a basic choice. For a more performance-minded sail, consider PentexTM or a polyester cruising laminate. We discussed the pluses of PentexTM in the first two articles in this series, and how the fibers are used in a laminated fabric (Review Part One= or=Part Two=.=). That fabric is then used to build radial sails. Your other choice is a laminated polyester. The engineering of this cruising laminate has been well proven over time and I have seen these kinds of sails in all parts of the world.
With polyester cruising laminate sails, the yarns are bundled together with gaps between the bundles. The bundles are then sandwiched between a MylarTM substrate and a light woven taffeta. The adhesive gets a good bond between the bundles and with the light taffetas for chafe protection and durability, the fabric lasts a long time and has a soft feel.

"If your sails call for the stretch resistance and weight savings of VectranTM, then an investment in this high-tech engineering is a reasonable way to spend your money."

This same engineering is used with different fibers for bigger boats where the loads are more demanding and tough, and light sails are in order. Instead of the bundles of polyester yarns, the fabrics are made with bundles of either SpectraTM or VectranTM. SpectraTM is the most common because of the rugged nature of this fiber, and because nothing beats it for initial stretch resistance. These sails are now seen the world over. In fact, on my own boat I have SpectraTM sails that are built this way and they have lasted through several years of unkind treatment. VectranTM is not as common and is generally manufactured on a semi-custom basis. The problem with VectranTM is that it does not like that one key ingredient common to all sailingsunlight. Ultraviolet light degrades the fibers of almost any fabric, but if the fabric is engineered correctly, it can be made suitable for extreme sunlight exposure. In this case, VectranTM fibers are sandwiched between taffeta that has been treated with a UV inhibitor, a UV-resistant film, and even a UV-resistant adhesive.
If your sails call for the stretch resistance and weight savings of VectranTM, then an investment in this high-tech engineering is a reasonable way to spend your money. Some of these more "exotic" yarns are woven into panels rather than bundled in, and while this produces a rugged, reliable fabric, there is still the problem of "crimp" (see Part Two= of this series for an explanation of crimp=). As the crimp straightens out, the fabric stretches.

For a coastal cruising vessel like this multihull, it makes sense to have a mainsail built out of a rugged laminated sailcloth.

How you decide what fabric to choose will depend upon where and how you sail your boat. If you spend weekends daysailing the South Carolina coast, then DacronTM will probably be more than adequate. If you are headed for the Azores this summer and you want to make it a quick passage, then think about a rugged laminate. If you have a heavy displacement craft that loads up under sail, then consider a PentexTM or cruising laminate sail. For boats over 50 feet, a laminate is almost mandatory, and for the much bigger boats, an "exotic" laminate will serve you best.
With such well-advanced engineering, most sailmakers will have no problem building you any size or shape mainsail. Full-batten sails with lots of roach are becoming more common on cruising boats where performance is desirable. And where fabric was once a limitation, it's now an advantage. In the next article we will look at all the features that make your mainsail easier to trim and handle, and how you can incorporate them into a new sail. As I have already pointed out, it's called the mainsail because it is the main component in your sail inventory, so it's certainly worth getting it right. And doing so will make your sailing safer and more enjoyable.
In Part Five of his Sail Tech series, AirForce Sails Product Manager Brian Hancock will discuss the details of mainsail construction.

Train derails in Chillicothe
CHILLICOTHE, OH (AP) --Norfolk-Southern Railroad says one of its trains derailed in Chillicothe.
Norfolk-Southern says the 11 cars jumped the tracks shortly before midnight Monday. No injuries were reported.
The train, which was traveling southbound, was not carrying any hazardous materials.
Officials say all of the cars stayed upright and crews are working to get them back on the tracks. It's unclear how long that will take.
Officials say at least two people were on board the train at the time of the derailment, an engineer and a conductor.
Norfolk Southern says the cause is still under investigation.

I haven't noticed that with my full size px4 9mm, maybe bring it back to the shop and ask them. However they probably don't know and aren't going to willingly replace it. More hassle and a loss for them.
I bought a PX4 Storm .40 full size recently. I've noticed that when inserting a loaded magazine, I need to "slap" it in to get it to seat. With an empty magazine , it will seat just by pushing it in. I wanted to see if any other PX4 Storm owners have this same experience. Other than that, it shoots just fine.
I know on my other semi auto pistols including my 92fs, I can just push in a magazine to seat it, without having to slap it in.

Yes mine requires a little more push than others I have tried. My SC PX4 9mm requires more than my full size .40. I have found if I push up and to the front (toward the muzzle) it latches easier.
I had a teacher in grade school, that would have to slap some kids, to get them to seat.
I have pretty much the same issue with all my semi-autos. plc's suggestion of loading one less round than capacity does work. I have experimented with my PX4, as well as others, if the slide is back, the magazine fits right in with a simple push, but that if the slide is forward, it usually takes a "slap" or "slam" or just a real hard push.
That is just a byproduct of the strength of the springs in your magazines, and has nothing to do with your pistol.
Thanks everyone for the input. I appreciate it!
Sounds normal. Fully loaded mag refusing to engage or very hard to engage is an indication of the rounds bottoming out inside the mag as has been mentioned. A spacing or tolerance issue that happens on some models and I don't like it. Quality platform should be able to be loaded to capacity and inserted as intended not requiring short loading by one or two rounds. Work around when this does happen is insert a fully loaded mag at slide lock and then chamber top round as apposed to chamber, remove mag top off and then re-seat the mag in the mag well like I and many like to do. All that being said I have 2 PX4's and they both fully engage or seat in the mag well without undo force. Does take a little more effort at the end of the press but not overly so. Normal resistance with mine.

AWB investigator alleges being offered kickback
The head of the police investigation into the Australian Wheat Board oil-for-food scandal alleges he was offered incentives to drop the case.
TranscriptEMMA ALBERICI, PRESENTER: The AFP has hit back at explosive claims from the officer who ran its investigation into the AWB scandal after he alleged he'd been offered incentives to make the case disappear.
Back in 2005, the Australian Wheat Board was found to have paid out millions of dollars in bribes to secure contracts in Iraq.
Ross Fusca was appointed to lead a federal police taskforce, but he says he was given little support and told not to pursue prosecutions.
ROSS FUSCA, FORMER HEAD, AFP OIL FOR FOOD TASKFORCE: There was just a general conversation about a variety of things and then he said that if I could make the taskforce disappear, I'd be the next co-ordinator.
EMMA ALBERICI: Mr Fusca is now taking a fight over his employment to the Federal Court.
The AFP has defended its move to close down the taskforce.
TONY NEGUS, AFP COMMISSIONER: There was a very thorough assessment done by Peter Hastings QC, one of Australia's most respected barristers. After that, Mr Hastings concluded that there was little chance that this matter would be successfully resolved through a criminal investigation.
EMMA ALBERICI: Commissioner Negus says the matter was referred to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Re: numerical integration problem
Daniel's suggestion should help you.
A couple of times I used := operator, and because it is rule delayed, it substitutes all the parameters of the function as a last step (i.e when it is used). And I tried using = instead of := making sure that missing := is not going to change the output/performance.
As per your problem, if you have functions f[w], b[w], g[w] etc all defined in terms of w before using or finding x and y, and you can define the x and y using = operator.
I am only guessing...
Like g[w_]:=Sin[w],f[w_]:=Cos[w], etc, and you can in that case, express x[w_]=f[w]+i g[w], like that instead of x[w_]:=f[w]+i g[w];

'T.I. has been in NYC promoting his #1 album "Paper Trail" for the past few days. He and new BFF Maino were spotted on the red carper for the Diesel Rock n Roll Circus. Today, T.I. appeared on ABC's "The View". I had no clue he was going to be on the show. I don't watch that ish and barely anything in ABC gets 2 seconds of my attention. (sidenote: wasn't ABC supposed to be doing the whole NFL Player's Wives show starring Gabby Union before the whole writer's strike? Wondered what happened with that?) Anywho, here is a recap of the show via Access Atlanta. Video is not yet available (or just wasn't able to be found in the 5 seconds I felt like searching for it)
About TI being on The View: But first, the rapper had to answer some pointed questions regarding that guilty plea on those pesky federal weapons charges stemming from his arrest a year ago as he tried to purchase machine guns and silencers in a Midtown Publix shopping center. The arrest occurred just hours before he was due to hit the red carpet down the street at the Atlanta Civic Center as the most nominated artist at the 2007 BET Hip-Hop Awards.
"I can't excuse it," T.I. said. "When you're in my line of work, more people want to kill you than congratulate you. I have a family to protect. It sways your judgment."
With sunglasses perched atop his head, the rapper legally named Clifford Harris Jr. said he's learned a few things since the arrest.
"You've got to walk with God instead of walking with the guys. It took me a while to learn that."
T.I. is awaiting sentencing in the case. As a convicted felon, jail time is almost a certainty.
On another stint in stir, T.I. said: "I'm concerned, but I'm not scared. I'm not thrilled about it. I look forward to getting it over with.

Serves 6
A variation on the "chili-mac" that is popular in Kansas City, this dish combines chili with everyone's favorite, macaroni and cheese. Vegans and others who eschew dairy products can make this dish with the non-dairy options given.
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1/2 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups heated milk or soy milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
2 cups grated cheddar or soy cheese
3 cups prepared chili
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil the bottom and sides of a 9" x 13' baking dish, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, cover, and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook 2 minutes, then lower the heat and slowly whisk in the milk. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Season with the salt and cayenne. Combine the sauce with the cooked pasta elbows and half of the grated cheese. Spoon the pasta mixture into the baking dish and spread the chili over it. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the chili layer. Bake for 30 minutes, or until it is heated through and the cheese is bubbly.

This sweet little table was made by John's grandfather and given to us many years ago from John's Aunt Marie.
It is a smoking table and held JHH Seniors pipe and smoking paraphernalia.
Originally there was a small drawer in the front but was missing when we received it.
John closed the opening with a piece of wood and I attached a decorative piece before painting over the dark stain.
I didn't have to create a 'chippy' look as everything at my place gets nicks and dings the old fashioned way... just by living with it

If you are looking for pure performance this is the knife for you. The Haruyuki SRS15 (previously Akifusa) knives have incredible edge retention, are capable of extreme sharpness and are a breeze to re-sharpen. I would characterize these knives as Ferraris without a cool paint job and sexy body. They look very elegant/plain Jane (depends on yer point of view), but their performance is outstanding.
SRS15 High Speed Powder Steel is my kind of steel. It is mega hard, therefore holds a fine edge amazingly well. Combined with a very fine grained structure it feels absolutely silky when cutting. Some say that SRS15 feels clinical. Its stainless qualities mean you needn't worry about rusting or discolouring. This steel is often found in precision tools, dentist drills and surgical equipment.
These are the knives that turned me on to Japanese blades. I bought an Artisan 180mm Santoku in 1999 and it's still close to my heart. It stood up to the rigours of a busy professional kitchen like no other knife I'd ever used. Extreme sharpness and a very long lasting edge is what sets these knives apart. Akifusa knives feature a tapered tang for great balance. The many professional chefs using these knives are a testimony to their pedigree.
These knives are hafted with a Western style pakka wood handle. Pakka wood is basically layers of rose or sandal wood bound with heaps of silicone. This type of handle is very rugged; I would say they are virtually indestructible. The handle is fixed to the tang with three rivets for strength and durability.Just the Facts

Congratulations. Safe shooting.
I was able to shoot my brand new FNX 9 today. As stated in the title this is my first firearm and only the 4th time I have shot. I am very pleased with the accuracy, the pic below is the first 13 shots from 7 yards. I fired a total of 150, no malfunctions of any kind.
Congratulations. Safe shooting.
Nice shooting new shooter! I like the FNX itis a sweet weapon.
You should have a lot of fun ahead if you are shooting good groups so soon!

Product Outcome
Capable of being applied to all types of carbon and alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, titanium, and nickel-based super alloys, and many components with odd shapes or forms, LPB can be performed in a machine shop environment, in the field, and by using robotic tools. One important feature of the LPB application method is that it is highly controllable and can be validated to ensure that the process is applied to every part.
Over the last decade, LPB has been successful in completely eliminating fatigue failures in the first stage vanes on aircraft engines. Previously, these failures had resulted in the loss of several aircraft and crew. Lambda has processed over 45,500 of these vanes, and achieved process control exceeding Six Sigma. This processing is what led to FAA acceptance of LPB as a suitable process for both repair and alteration of commercial aircraft components. It is estimated that LPB will save the aircraft market over $10 million for the mitigation of stress corrosion cracking on just one landing gear application.
In 2009, Lambda and Delta Airlines announced an exclusive partnering agreement to use LPB for maintaining commercial aircraft components such as landing gear, propeller hubs, and turbine engine blades. According to the companies, the team effort provides opportunities to extend the life of aging aircraft, overcoming damage from foreign objects, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion pitting damage mechanisms that are common throughout the commercial aircraft fleet.
In addition to having a significant impact on defense and aerospace components, LPB has also had a major impact on medical implant manufacturers. Lambda finds the savings for the medical and aircraft markets combined could reach numbers in excess of $100 billion.
A 2004 partnership between Lambda and Exactech, an orthopedic company that develops, manufactures, markets, distributes, and sells orthopedic implant devices and related surgical instrumentation, initiated the first commercial application of LPB to stop fretting in medical implants. Prior to working with Exactech, Lambda addressed a similar problem under SBIRs with NAVAIR, building on the work of NASA SBIRs, to apply LPB to stop fretting damage on the blade dovetail joint on jet engines.
In the case of the hip implant, fretting was occurring in a section of the hip stem due to severe cyclical stress, as every step taken by a patient represented a single loading and unloading cycle. Exactech explored a number of solutions to increase the performance of the implant, including laser peening and roller burnishing, but nothing compared to LPB, which improved the fatigue strength of the hip stem by more than 40 percent and increased the lifespan of the piece by more than 100 times. Data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration confirmed that LPB completely eliminated the occurrence of fretting fatigue failures in modular hip implants. LPB has been integrated in the manufacturing process and applied to more than 3,400 hip implants.
Another application where LPB was chosen over laser peening was in eliminating residual tension in the final closure weld of the long-term nuclear waste storage containers for Yucca Mountain. The design review board for the containers unanimously selected LPB for the greater depth of compression, advantages in logistics, quality control, surface finish, and cost. The U.S. Department of Energy found LPB produced residual compression that exceeded the depth required for the surface to remain in compression for the 50,000-year design life of the containers.

I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. I bought a new Harbor Freight/Chicago Electric 5500 generator several months back. I use it for backup for utility power, as we live in a rural area in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Anyway, this month when I went out to give it it's "monthly run" (just start it, warm it up, verify generator operation, charge starting batter -- 15/20 minutes), it only ran for about a minute before stopping. After restart, it ran, say, thirty seconds; next restart was, say 5 seconds. If I try to start it again, it'll only run a couple of seconds. If I let it sit for several hours, then the thirty-second thingie starts all over again.
I have verified that it is not getting fuel. As it's about to die, I can turn on the choke and it will continue to stumble along for a few more seconds.
I have eliminated any water in the gas (there wasn't any), cleaned out the float bowl to remove any foreign debris, verified that the valve and hose going to the carburetor will supply a good stream of fuel.
Being relatively engine-wise but not being familiar with the details of this engine, I'm stumped. Two things that I haven't checked might be causing the problem.
The first does not seem to be the problem, though, given the symptoms, and that's the low-oil pressure system. The low-oil sending unit (which I believe is mounted at about crankshaft-height on the side of the engine block) wire goes to a "segregating unit" (whatever that is, about .6" square, metal case) and then splices into a wire that connects the coil to the ignition switch. Consistent with other small gas engines, it appears that the coil is a magneto unit, with a hot lead going to the pressure switch and the ignition switch, whereby if either were grounded, then engine would no longer run.
The second thing, which I consider more likely, is a "thermo sw" (thermostatic switch?) and a carburetor fuel-bowl solenoid. I can't follow the wiring from this switch, as the connections into a diode trio (one wire from the "thermo sw") and the ignition switch aren't labeled (the other wire from the "thermo sw"). The actual solenoid on the carburetor float bowl bottom has two leads, one going to the same diode trio (not the same wire, though), and the other going to a fused battery + terminal. I suspect that the solenoid is shutting off gas in the carburetor, but without an adequate schematic, I don't see how this mechanism works. In fact, I haven't even yet found the "thermo sw", but that's from not having traced out the wiring but not seeing anything looking like what I think it might look like mounted on the engine. The schematic shows no direct connection between the "thermo sw" and the carburetor solenoid, except as it might occur by a connection inside the diode trio (not shown on schematic).
So I would appreciate any help that one might offer, including knowledge of how these two devices normally operate. One thing in particular I'd like to know is whether the carb solenoid turns the fuel ON or OFF when electricity is applied.
Thanks, Tom

When you think of all-time music greats, who tends to spring to mind? The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? The Outhere Brothers? Or, in fact, a girl band who've seen more members than Jodie Marsh? Well, Jade Ewen certainly thinks Sugababes are up there with proper music legends - so much so, that she reckons the X Factor needs to pay tribute to them next year. "Next year we hope they have a Sugababes week for acts to sing our songs," she says, leaving us speechless. Power of speech regained. "Our songs" ? What, the songs she's had about as much involvement as, well, us? Still, we suppose she's just keeping the boss happy by voicing such delusions of grandeur - pays to kiss corporate arse when you haven't even had your three month appraisal yet. Jade's also pissed off that she and Mutya/ Keisha/ Amelle/ Heidi/ Siobhan/ Rod/ Jane/ Freddie/ Dave/ Dozy/ Beaky/ Mick/ Titch/ Lee/ Spike/ Jimmy/ Robson/ Jerome/ Liam/ Noel/ Bonehead haven't been invited to perform on this year's show. "X Factor rules the music industry at the moment," she says, probably wishing she'd auditioned for that rather than joining the world's shakiest girl band. "It's so massive. We didn't get asked to go on the show this year and it makes a difference." Yes, why haven't Sugababes been on X Factor this year? Is it because, with their ever-changing line-up and stints in rehab for exhaustion, they're regarded as a less stable booking than even Whitney Houston?

In pass i made few small games and i think that i am ready with few of my collage friends to take this work to another level. We want to secure our self just in case by creating such indie company. And there is the question: Is someone here who create already a small indie company ( independent ) ? I need information on to where should i go to present the logo of the company the name , copy right ( of the logo and name of the company ) and of course creation it. I understand that Indie company is usually a non physical company that exist on the internet ( i am okkei with that ). But what else ? I just need help with start on where to go and so on. Thank you for all the help. ( Btw. for me the best place to register such company is in Japan but i am okkei with different countries also )
