Cacher of the Month - November 2007
John & Georgia in Jamaica
- What is your favorite Caching Story?
Smoley Squad's First Mission was probably MY worst mission. I work as a CAD operator from home for a company in Brandon. I make a few trips a year out to Brandon and Virden, and of course, I like to cache while out there. One day while working in the Brandon office, I slipped away during my lunch hour to get a cache in the Brandon hills. The cache was in a wooded area near a subdivision built on a slope. I read in the cache description that there are underground springs in the area, but I wasn't prepared for what I encountered. I bushwhacked my way towards Ground Zero with the GPSr whirling madly due to heavy leaf cover. Naturally I was wearing white pants and platform sandals. My family will tell you that I am woefully unprepared sometimes. I took a step into what looked like a slightly muddy area, and I sank to my knees. The pull of what seemed like quicksand threw me off balance. I grabbed for the nearest branch, which was dead, of course. It broke in my hands and I plopped to the ground. I tried to get up and pitched forward. Now I was completely covered in some kind of muck, and whatever was sucking me downwards grabbed my sandals, and that is the last I have seen of them. This experience in the hills of Brandon is what inspired my story about the little old Polish lady known as Ivanna. I had to return to work after this experience. Here is a link to my log.

Cacher of the Month - October 2007
3T's&aG (Big T, Q!(another T), G and T)
- How did the initiation rite of passage: 'you're not a member of the MBGA until you've been bopped by Tobey in the chatroom' evolve?
- What was it about geocaching that got you hooked?
LOL! Nice question to start off with. You know, I don't exactly know how this started. I've been told its because I like bopping but I guess you'll have to visit the chatroom to find out for sure. Don't expect to be bopped right away, either. These things take time.
I first heard about geocaching in an article that was in the Free Press in July of 2004. After reading it, I got hooked on the idea of trying geocaching and then proceeded to do some research to purchase a GPSr that would suit my needs and my budget. When the GPSr finally arrived and I was able to figure out how to enter co-ordinates, Q! and I headed off to find our first cache, Bison Castle cache because we knew the general location of it having worked at the UofM campus for years. We rode our bikes and lo and behold, our arrow kept pointing the other way. Having no idea what I was doing (some say this hasn't changed much), I had no way to confirm my co-ordinates. So we went back home and tried again the next day. We found it fairly quickly and I was instantly hooked. There were so many aspects of it that appealed to me and mostly I felt that it was a great opportunity to get outside, especially as my kids got older.

23 yr old male
For years, ever since I was younger, I would periodically incur episodes where I would have an intense feeling of Deja Vu, usually triggered by something I hear someone say or something I read. And most often I feel like I heard these words spoken in my dreams I have had in the past, but I couldn't remember because you dream in short term memory. But all of a sudden these "memories" of the dream resurface and I get nausea, dizziness and confused. And then as soon as the episode is over (about 30 seconds), I forget all about the dream again and I can't remember any of it....
Now this doesn't happen to me often. At most it happens like twice per year, lasting usually 1 to 3 days. During the days that I am having these episodes it seems to happen roughly 5 - 10 times during the day.
(I'm currently on day 2 of this happening to me)
I don't have seizures, I don't do any drugs. I've been pretty tired the last couple of days, but I have been sleeping alright. No other known medical issues.
Any ideas? I think it might be a supernatural psychic ability that I just can't harness (joking)

By Joyce Lee and Robert-Jan Bartunek
SEOUL/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - ArcelorMittal ISPA.AS, the world's biggest steelmaker, will sell a 15 percent stake in one of its Canadian iron ore operations, raising $1.1 billion to help pay off debt at a time of sluggish demand.
The group, which makes about 6-7 percent of the world's steel, will sell the stake in ArcelorMittal Mines Canada to a consortium including South Korean steelmaker POSCO (005490.KS: Quote) and Taiwan-listed China Steel (2002.TW: Quote), it said on Wednesday.
It is the latest in a series of steps to raise funds as slow global economic growth and spending cuts in Europe dampen demand for steel used in the car and construction industry.
"It's one of the more readily disposable parts of the business, and given they need to reduce debt I don't think it's a massive surprise they are selling it," said Nomura analyst Neil Sampat.
ArcelorMittal wrote down the value of its European business by $4.3 billion last month and has had its credit rating cut to non-investment grade by all credit rating agencies.
Its net debt rose by $1.2 billion during the third quarter to $23.2 billion at the end of September.
The World Steel Association in October forecast steel demand would rise 2.1 percent in 2012, down from 6.2 percent in 2011.
ArcelorMittal Mines Canada operates two large open-pit mines in the province of Quebec, where it also owns the Port-Cartier industrial complex that includes a pellet plant, storage areas and port facilities for shipping. Continued...

I was being somewhat facetious in describing the other benefits of
introducing computers as
learning to write programs. Certainly there is a prospect that students
would learn, as a consequence
of the computer-related stuff to have a higher appreciation of (say)
algorithmic / procedural
thought processes, even "ideas" (however defined by you) vs rote
repetition. I am not aware
of any peer-reviewed research papers validating such a hypothesis.
Occasional anecdotes
You might or might not recall that the standard methods in calculus
courses (and I suspect in
physics/ etc courses) consist largely in teaching mindless mechanical
manipulations. Worse,
they are taught by repeated examples, not as fixed algorithms by which
any of the problems
can be done by following those algorithms. Then students are graded on
their ability to
perform the mindless manipulations.
It is my own cynical view that the real value in compulsory calculus is
that it is mighty tough
to do those manipulations without a firm grasp of the (mindless)
manipulations of algebra and
perhaps trigonometry. Therefore the calculus, which is itself vital to
10% of the students and
useless to 90%, has the effect of reinforcing knowledge of algebra,
which is somewhat more
relevant to people. (e.g. financial matters...)
Perhaps somewhere there is a calculus course that does not depend on
such an approach.
One time I taught part of a calculus course at MIT (circa 1972) -- an
added computer "lab"
in which I explained the fundamentals of the Risch integration procedure
to students in course 18.001,
which was a more "applied" calculus. The students seemed to like that.
The main instructional themes and senior faculty lecturers were
unaffected by it. In that
year, or so far as I know, in any future year.
I note that the MIT regular calculus, 18.01
apparently uses a computer algebra system, but not Mathematica.
I do not see how it is used or how it could be used on the exams.
In the previous century (1987 ish) there were reform efforts regarding
"Calculus for the New Century"
which is presumably THIS century. Big news. Graphing calculators..
It occurs to me that we have had a similar conversation previously.

low oil pressure turn engine off
yesterday message came on seconds after turning engine on. turned it off and back on and no problems. drove the 12 miles to my destination. on way back, message appeared. checked oil, seemed low to bottom of dipstick, so added 2 quarts. minute later message reappeared. returned home to the sound of the bells from DIC. today no message on way to and from work but came on returning from soccer practice for a couple of minutes. since I am not mechanically inclined, will take it in tomorrow. can you give me some things to tell mechanic so I am not taken to the cleaners?

Re: low oil pressure turn engine off
Seems like that you just acquired your 06 Caddy as you didn't provide us the history of this vehicle; i.e., how long ago you got it, how many miles on the odometer, where did you get it, history of this vehicle, etc. etc. I assume it's not burning oil. My question is how come you decided to check the oil level only after you noticed a problem with your engine oil pressure? Then after checking you said that the oil level seemed low and you poured 2 quarts. My friend that's strange, I mean didn't you check the oil level soon after you purchased it? How do you know that you didn't put too much oil? I assumed that check the dipstick carefully.
If the light is staying on then the only thing comes to mind is the problem in the oil pressure sending unit or in the circuit. I'm glad that you are taking it to your mechanic first.
Re: low oil pressure turn engine off
I've had the car for 2 1/2 years. I change the oil every 5000 miles at the same mechanic. I have 111,000 miles on the car, purchased it with 68,000. it has a new water pump (broke in June) and new motor mounts as well as front tie rods. as for putting too much oil, I am not sure if I did or not. the level reads just above the zigzag lines on the stick.
mechanic said they think it's the sensor; are replacing it. as with everything on that engine, not easy to get to. $30 part will cost $ 200 with labor and tax...
Re: low oil pressure turn engine off
The Northstar engine takes 7.5 quarts of oil with filter. That brings the level on the dipstick to about here ..........
<==== ADD XXXXXXXXXX OPERATING RANGE ==============oo====================O
........ any higher leads to excessive oil consumption. Read the owner's manual and the Cadillac Technical Archive (way up in the black bar ^^^).
These DTS does not have the oil consumption issue from the O-Rings. Its mostly from that special sealant from the crankcase that wears over time. The bottom line is, all northstar engines use oil. It doesn't matter where you fill it too in that range area. It will go down before your next oil change. Which you should do every three thousand with a northstar engine.
I've did oil consumption tests every 500 miles and the starting level doesn't matter. It will consume oil at the same rate or get worst over time due to any oil issue getting worst.
Re: low oil pressure turn engine off
I have to disagree a little bit about ALL Northstars using oil.
I have over 137,000 miles on mine and I change it about every 7500 miles or when the oil life indicator gets to about 30/35 percent.
In that 7500 miles, it will use "MAYBE" a cup or two of oil.
It has NEVER been a quart low on oil except for one time when I ran it a hair over 10,000 miles before changing it.
That was the only time it has ever needed a quart of oil and instead of adding a quart, I had it changed...
It was way over due even though the oil life indicator said 15 percent left.
If I changed it every 3000 miles, the oil level wouldn't move enough on the dipstick to even be able to tell it.
No problem :-) I should had explained my meaning of "use".
My 2006 DTS barely uses anything compared to my 1999 SLS. After 3000 miles, its still pretty close to the top, and about around the area you say it should be at. A little higher though :-)
We both live in different terrains and climates too. With the freezing temperatures this winter, I like to keep fresh oil in my baby.
Why do you go so long between oil changes? I don't believe its safe on the engine. What kind of oil you use? I just remember seeing cars at the dealership from other states that broke down on the highway because of engine trouble. I believe bearing issues. The first thing the tech did was change the oil and the engine noise went almost away but the damage was already done. It wasn't a Cadillac, but with our complex engines...I wouldn't take a chance.
Re: low oil pressure turn engine off
That was to get any manufacturing shavings or debris out of the engine... just in case there was any.
Next two oil changes were at 3000 miles each.
Then I started learning about the oil life monitor from a GM power train engineer who was on another site that I am on and about how it works.
Over time I gradually increased my oil changes to 4000 miles, then 5000 then 7500 or 30/35 percent, whichever comes first.
I will still change it at 30 or 35 percent even if the mileage is only 3000 or even less.

Re: low oil pressure turn engine off
Anyway, I hope that this corrects the low oil pressure situation.
Re: low oil pressure turn engine off
My 06 with 84,000 does not leak or use oil. [knock on wood] Like Super Jim I change at 20-30 % left. I use Mobile 1 synthetic. I have gone 8000 & it was down 1/2 qt. I don't call using. The oil was only slightly brown, does that mean it's not cleaning? My nephew had a 97 Northstar that used a qt. in 600 mi. He called the original owner & he said you bought that oil burner? It used that from day 1 & GM wouldn't do anything about it, said it was normal.

Making Up Futures
Will Luke and Lorelai live happily ever after? Will Rory reunite with Logan? Will whiny-ass Michel ever shut the hell up?
The one good thing about the end of a long-running series, such as the CW's The Gilmore Girls, is that fans can make up whatever futures they like for the characters. In my mind, Luke (Scott Patterson) and Lorelai (Lauren Graham) never marry, but settle into happy monogamy. Rory (Alexis Bledel) finds a man more worthy of her brains and good nature than Logan (Matt Czurchy), some time after winning her first Pulitzer. And Michel (Yanic Truesdale) is killed by a pack of lions that escapes from a circus passing through Stars Hollow.
The Gilmore Girls
Series Finale
Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Scott Patterson, Edward Herrmann, Kelly Bishop
Regular airtime: Tuesdays 8pm ET
US: 15 May 2007
The 15 May series finale wisely left the door open for various futures. After seven seasons, The Gilmore Girls ended as the story came full circle, from a daughter's return to a daughter's departure. The first daughter was Lorelai, seeking a renewed relationship with her wealthy parents, Richard (Edward Herrmann) and Emily (Kelly Bishop), in order to send young Rory to a prestigious private school. Now, Rory is a Yale graduate, setting out to be a political reporter, covering the Obama campaign for an online magazine. In between these two events, there were lots of fights, romances, Friday night dinners, breakfasts at Luke's diner, and fast talk and banter. It's been a whirlwind ride, at its best one of television's funniest shows, and at its worst still better than the usual soapy fare targeting female viewers.
When longtime producer/writer Amy Sherman-Palladino left, following in a contract dispute with the network, critics and fans alike complained that the show lost its "edge" under David S. Rosenthal's guidance. While it's true that the dialogue wasn't quite so rapid-fire during the final season, the series retained familiar elements. Rory and Lorelai remained devoted to one another, and their relationships with men were still complicated. And many storylines—such as Lorelai's renewed connection with Rory's father Christopher (David Sutcliffe)—were inherited from Sherman-Palladino.
Fans on GG bulletin boards railed against Lorelai's marriage to Christopher. But these fans said the same thing about the separation between mother and daughter last season, the introduction of Luke's daughter, and Rory's ex, Dean (Jared Palecki), getting married to someone else. Such is the nature of dedicated fandom: when the plot doesn't go exactly as you want or expect, you scream foul. Truthfully, the three generations of Gilmore women were always worth watching, no matter their contrived plots or dialogue.
Still, The Gilmore Girls ended as it began, with Lorelai rattling off her peculiar brand of motherly advise ("Sit in the back of the [campaign] bus—and get a window seat."), much as she had done in Episode One, when Rory was headed off to Chilton Academy. The series' final scene showed mother and daughter enjoying an early breakfast at Luke's, mirroring the final scene of the pilot episode. The plot revolved around a celebration, literally, with the local citizens planning a party in honor of Rory's new gig. When her new job demanded she leave town a week early, the focus shifted from congratulations to goodbye. It was up to Luke to reorganize the party, an act of kindness that reunited him with Lorelai.
The party structure allowed almost all the cast members an opportunity to appear. Lorelai and Rory's best girlfriends—Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) and Lane (Keiko Ageno)—Taylor (Michael Winters), Kirk (Sean Gunn), and the grand dames of Stars Hollow, Miss Patty (Liz Torres) and Babette (Sally Struthers), each had two minutes to say their farewells. Few surprises, but lots of memories.
The Gilmore Girls generated more media attention no its cancellation than it ever seemed to in its seven-year run. Everyone from Salon's' Joy Press to the Washington Post's Jennifer Frey agreed it was a bright spot on the CW schedule (where it lived out its last season, following six on the WB), and several reviewers lamented the fact that Graham and Bishop were perpetually overlooked in the Emmy races. Though its fans were fiercely loyal, the show ritually skated from season to season with marginal ratings.
And so The Gilmore Girls leaves us with a kind of lesson, that the major networks and their cable affiliates are increasingly not the place to find quality series, and especially, series that might be nurtured despite less than brilliant ratings. Compare this past season of GG, its weakest, to most of what NBC-ABC-CBS offer, and you'll understand why we feel the show's end so deeply.

Anyone else take the plunge on day 1?
The Apple store near me was REALLY well organized... it took about 25 minutes to get in, get the phone, activate it and get back out. Not bad at all!
I went from a 1st gen to this, so I'm all excited over the faster net access, though the extra $10 a month for it stinks.

Instant classic are the only two words to describe the 144th all-time meeting between No. 2-ranked Norwich and No. 12-ranked Middlebury.
NU senior forward Colin Mulvey scored with 6.7 seconds to lift the Cadets to a thrilling 5-4 victory over their long-time arch rival Panthers in the 2012 PrimeLink Great Northern ShootOut championship game on Saturday night at Kreitzberg Arena.
Mulvey was named the Tournament Most Valuable Player after he capped off a furious three-goal comeback, helping Norwich turn a 4-2 deficit with just over six minutes remaining into a 5-4 victory to repeat as the PrimeLink Tournament champions. The Cadets (7-0-0, 5-0-0 ECAC East) also claimed their record eighth overall title in the 15-year history of the prestigious tournament.
The Cadets outshot Middlebury 30-23 and were 2-for-4 on the power play while Middlebury was 1-for-2. Czarnota made 19 saves for Norwich to record his third win of the season and improve to 11-1-1 in his career. BonDurant made 25 saves in the loss for Middlebury to fall to 2-1-1.
Norwich extended its home unbeaten streak to 34 straight games with the victory and improved to 8-2-1 in its last 11 games against Middlebury. The Panthers still lead the all-time series 80-57-7. The teams will write another chapter in their storied rivalry on Jan. 8, 2013 when the Cadets travel to the Chip Kenyon '85 Arena to take on Middlebury in a non-conference tilt.
Freshman forward Connor Gorman scored a goal and tallied an assist to lead the Plattsburgh State men's hockey team to a 2-0 win over the University of St. Thomas (Minn.) in the consolation game of the 15th annual PrimeLink Great Northern ShootOut at Norwich University's Kreitzberg Arena.
After a scoreless first period that featured a large portion of time in the neutral zone and just four total shots on goal between both teams, Plattsburgh (6-2-0, 5-1-0 SUNYAC) quickly tallied two goals 1:03 apart to seize momentum in the second period.
Sophomore forward Mark Constantine opened the scoring at the 3:27 mark of the second stanza off an assist from Connor Gorman to put the Cardinals up 1-0. Constantine beat St. Thomas goalie Tyrone Simcoe to the left side of the cage off an assist from Gorman.
Just over a minute later, Plattsburgh State struck again with Gorman capitalizing on a power-play opportunity. Gorman found himself in the right place at the right time tapping home a rebound that was lying in the crease after Simcoe made the initial save on Andrew Smith's shot from the point.
The underlying story of Saturday's game was Plattsburgh goaltender Sam Foley, who was called upon for the second start of his collegiate career. Foley, a junior out of Woodbury, Minn., stopped all 15 shots he faced to earn his first career victory and shutout for the Cardinals.

Building a Garden Cart
I have a Garden Way (I think that was the brand) garden cart that provided incredible service for more than 20 years but has been repaired for the last time.
I'm looking for some good plans to make my own. Any suggestions? All I found in the topic search was a thread about tires.
Just curious how did you wear it out ?
My garden way cart is 30yrs old this year and been through alot of use
and ABUSE and is still going. Heh heh
What part of it wore out? If you like the shape and all, you might be able to use what you have as the pattern and form and make a new "body" out of fiberglass like you would a boat hull. Whether practical, I do not know.
As for plans? I would search online for something like "garden cart plans" and see what turns up. Also search for ready to assemble options. I have seen some nice teak garden carts that were RTA kits. Seems like a bit of overkill but somebody probably makes kits in other materials. I will do the same and post back if I find anything special.
What qualities and features are you looking to have? Price point?
Well I found a bunch o stuff with similar search paths but did not know what you had in mind and do not know the cart you have now.
I did find a garden cart blog and the person is selling plans to build a Whizbang garden cart. Made me giggle and I am half tempted to send him $15 just for that! Can you imagine your bragging rights being able to say yours is a Whizbang? Trick it out with some flames and pinstriping?
Mother Earth came up in a search with instructions for building an Irish mail cart for under $50 (in 1983) dollars.
I found quite a few hardware only kits (wheels, cart handle, etc.) and of course lots of RTA carts in a range of prices.
Garden Cart
Thanks for all the replies. Really nothing left to work with on the old one. Steel tubing legs have worn halfway through on the bottom. I pop riveted lengths of strapping to shore those up. Steel edging is rusted, cracked and bent, nothing there. Plywood is all rotted and wheel rims are bent from hitting a dip at "speed" with a load of stone wall rock. It owes me nothing.
It's final act of service might be suggesting that I slow down a bit. Will let y'all know what I end up doing.:jester:
This month's issue of Family Handyman had an article on a DIY garden cart that looked pretty good. I can't find the plans online yet, but you can probably pick up the issue locally at HD.
Garden Cart
Found the magazine and have the cart about half build. Looks promising.
Thanks all!

Early applications of geographic information systems were for land and environmental assessment, and in some regions its reputation remains linked to environmental matters such as managing and monitoring vast tracks of land. But that is the old picture of GIS. Today's systems are used in countless applications that address specific needs in countries throughout the world. GIS now permeates government operations in transportation, health, housing, justice and public safety, even fiscal management.
The popularity of desktop computing enabled more ubiquitous uses of GIS and eventually made the systems faster and easier to access, according to ESRI state and local government solutions manager Chris Thomas. Around the globe, the technology was adapted to regional uses that help to fuel everyday government activities. However, 9-11 catapulted GIS to new heights in the United States as mapping and imaging systems were used as emergency management and assessment tools in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.
Bill Gentes, executive director of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA), said New York City used GIS to create thousands of maps, which were used throughout the response and clean up.
"Maps went from being forgotten to being one of the most important things," he said. "Its amazing what they were mapping -- rubble piles, hot spots, gas leaks, lidar for heat sensing, measuring shifting piles of rubble -- everything, every facet of the emergency used maps and GIS." (Lidar is light detection and ranging technology that operates on the same general principle as radar.)
A Household Tool
It is still the routine use of GIS tools that support government operations. In Portsmouth, England, the City Council depends on GIS to monitor asset management, community facilities, average birth weights, crime patterns, emergency planning and employment demographics."
Portsmouth's highway management application has proven particularly useful in providing wide-ranging data from disparate sources, according to Jac Cartwright, with the Portsmouth City Council's IT department. "The tools have enabled our city desk to deal with calls on a whole range of issues such as street lighting, abandoned vehicles and missed refuse collections -- normally the domain of individual specialists," he explained. "We also have plans for future Web delivery of much more information about highway works, traffic conditions and local events."
With a GIS model of the highway system and associated assets, users are able to see data that is integrated from several sources. For example, they can look at the number of accidents in a particular location and at the same time, see that location's road conditions, street lighting or historical data. This flexible management system has been so successful that Portsmouth has formed a consortium with other city councils to share the applications. "Portsmouth pioneered the approach and basic information tools but needed more resources to develop the concept further," Cartwright said. "A small but growing cooperative of like-minded authorities have contributed to a communal pot and financed development."
Clean-Up Tool
In Berlin, Germany, the Sanitation Department uses GIS to manage the pick-up of 500,000 garbage bins and the clean-up of 12,500 miles of streets and sidewalks in addition to managing winter services over 344 square miles. The GIS maps allow department staff to go from an overview of sections of the city to exact locations and individual objects. At the same time, information specific to that site, such as clean-up plans, can be accessed.
Gothenberg City, a community of 450 in Sweden, has put GIS to work in dozens of management arenas, including one that examines new home developments to determine how many children will be needing schooling and which classrooms those youngsters will attend. The city was an early adopter of GIS and, since 1991, has built some of its own applications. Consequently, mapping and associated data is used in most departments, from traffic to health,

53% of consumers who say they are active internet users do not believe that Facebook's storefronts are committed to protecting them against fraud, with a further 23% saying they are unsure, according to [download page] a study released in December 2011 by ThreatMetrix in partnership with the Ponemon Institute. In fact, 51% of respondents say that Google is more effective than Facebook at keeping them safe from online criminals, and only 20% have purchased something directly within Facebook.
According to an Oracle study released in December 2011, 34% of American and Canadian consumers say they would never purchase products via a retailer's Facebook page, compared to 19% who said they would (9%) or already have (10%) done so.
Data from the "Mobile Payments and Online Shopping Survey" indicates that of the 29% of respondents who conduct mobile banking, the leading reason for doing so is convenience (51%) and increased security (25%). In fact, two-thirds of the consumers who use mobile banking feel completely or partially protected. However, 51% of those who do not engage in mobile banking say it is because of diminished security.
Overall, 51% of respondents believe the fraud risk is the same on a smartphone, tablet, desktop, and laptop computer. Only 19% say fraud risk is higher on a smartphone or tablet than on a desktop or laptop computer, while almost 1 in 3 consumers believe fraud risk to be lower on a smartphone or tablet. These figures differ from results of a National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and McAfee study released in November 2011, which found that 51% of US consumers feel safest accessing the internet with a desktop or laptop, while just 1 in 10 feel safest using their smartphone and only 4% using their tablet.
Meanwhile, a separate Ponemon Institute study [download page] released in December contains some troubling figures regarding patient medical information security on mobile devices: of the 81% of healthcare organizations who use mobile devices to collect, store, and/or transmit patient health information, half say they do not do anything to safeguard patient data on the devices, while 46% depend on policies and governance and only 23% use encryption. As a result, only 15% are very confident and 23% somewhat confident that patient data is protected from being accessed via mobile devices.
Data from the "Second Annual Benchmark Study on Patient Privacy & Data Security" indicates that data breaches in healthcare organizations are on the rise: 96% of respondents say their organization has had at least one data breach in the past 2 years, with the average number of incidents increasing this year to 4.08 from 3.09 in 2010.
Overall, the majority of respondents have little (33%) or no (24%) confidence in their organizations' ability to detect all patient data loss or theft.
About the Data: The mobile payments and online shopping study surveyed 722 US consumers who self-reported that they are active users of the internet. On average, respondents spend 24 hours per week on the internet, and 57% make purchases daily or weekly.
The healthcare study used a benchmark sample of 72 healthcare organizations. 57% were private, and 41% contained 301 to 600 beds.

pulling back the slide waste time. Keep one in the chamber.
This is a discussion on Carry a Glock with one in the chamber? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I know this is an old discussion. But I am still a newbie and considering my options. So what is the advice of this group? ...
I know this is an old discussion. But I am still a newbie and considering my options. So what is the advice of this group? I have a Glock 23 that I plan to carry in an IWB (Tucker "The Answer"). I will have the shirt tucked to help hide the gun and avoid the need for a cover garment. My IWB does a nice job of completely covering the trigger guard.
Would you carry a round in the chamber in a Glock that you are carrying in an IWB holster? I have been training myself to never, ever put a finger inside the trigger guard until ready to shoot. My natural position now when I pick up the gun is to place the index finger on the side of the slide as I grip the gun. But it is still a Glock, with no safety other than the "safe-action trigger".

pulling back the slide waste time. Keep one in the chamber.
It would take an act of God to make your Glock go off while holstered in The Answer. The danger is when you're holstering it. Be damn careful to keep your finger off that trigger and you'll be fine.

I carry one in the pipe of my G27 every day. It takes long enough to draw from a tuckable, let alone trying to rack one in the chamber too. There are too many reasons to have one ready in the pipe. What if your off hand is busy keeping the attacker away from you or fending off knife blows for example?

Study the manual; it has 3 safeties.
I don't believe in carrying a pistol with an empty chamber for several reasons, one of them is that under stress you can very well not rack the slide all the way and create a failure to feed, in which case you find yourself with an expensive rock
Decent guns, in a good holster covering the trigger guard don't fire by themselves ...

If you are trained, keep one in the chamber. I always do.
While fending off and attacker with your weak hand, and drawing with your strong hand..........
Not a pleasant scenario. Keep one in the pipe.

Draw fast, reholster slow. The only way to make your gun go bang is to press the trigger.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Who is John Galt?
I always carry my Glocks with one in the chamber.
If you're not going to carry your weapon loaded then it's not likely to do you any good when you really need it. Read about the safety's designed in to your firearm and understand them. That will go a long way toward helping you and then get some quality training from a reputable source.

ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

This guy found out today that you need one in the chamber interesting-response-today from right here on this board.

Never argue with an idiot - they'll bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.
1 in the chamber always, or your just wasting your time.
"Without fear there can be no Courage!"
It took me a little while to get comfortable with having one in the chamber at first. I would feel uncomfortable without one in the chamber now. Watch that your shirt doesnt get stuck inside the trigger gaurd when holstering and you should be fine. I make a habit of never taking putting my gun into my inside the waisteband holster when the holster is attached to my belt (ie, the gun and holster always go on together, so I don't have to worry about my shirt getting caught in the trigger gaurd). Oh, and yes, I carry a glock.

I liked it away from town it was very nice. The employees were very helpful. The bathroom had a little mold. But were the hotel is that's hard not to have.
Location and swimming pool Food is expensive better off eating in town
The room and decor was nice and tastefully done The water pressure in the shower was barely enough to wet my hair. A coffee/tea station would have been nice. When I ordered coffee, it took quite a long time to get and was lukewarm, and on one occasion only got half a cup of coffee. I was told I coul
There were a lot of great things about Playa Tortuga, i.e., the views; the olympic-sized pool; the delicious mixed drinks; the comfortable beds, and the free kayak rentals. However, there were a few things that made our stay less-than luxurious. I came to this hotel with my fiancé in June. When we arrived, we were ecstatic! What a beautiful hotel! For the first few days, we were very satisfied. Everything was going so well. However, as our week-long stay continued, things started going down hill. First, my fiancé made sure to purchase the breakfast plan with our stay which included an all-you-can-eat buffet filled with eggs, french toast, pancakes, cereals, sausages, bacon, yogurts, etc. The breakfast for the first few mornings was delicious! I was so happy. Then we went downstairs one morning and they decided to forgo the buffet because not enough people were staying at the hotel to eat the food, and instead had a sit down breakfast. This would have been OK if they didn't limit the ...
One of the best hotel in Bocas del Toro. A good room with a view.
The pool & location on the ocean, deck overlooking the Caribbean were ideal. Close enough to easily walk anywhere in Bocas, but it's really nice that it is away from the main drag where it could get loud. The staff (1 man) was SO helpful & hardworking! The room is pretty basic, but was clean and comfortable. There was hot water in the shower, but the sink didn't have it, which was fine, but somewhat odd.
Great views of the bay. Clean and neat. Pool nice. Air conditioner worked well. Within walking distance to just about everything. All in all I would stay here again. Cable TV had 3 channels...all snowy.
The beds where too small, and it was'nt the budget room.
The staff was friendly, the breakfast was great (homemade muffins, fruit and coffee) and the location was excellent. The beds were a bit hard for me.
Hot/warm water showers Inexpensive and clean Friendly staff Breakfasts of white toast or thin waffles get old quick. Nice that breakfast was included but besides the coffee, breakfast not very palatable
Help were very accommodating, meals very good and room was also good. Gym or exercise equipment non existent. Not enough to entertain in ocean activities. Upon departure was charged $100 for travel out but advertisement states if you stay 3 nights no extra charge, we stayed 4 nights but were still charged the $100.

Philadelphia's broken ground on the latest project to make the city's riverfront more accessible: transforming a vacant concrete pier into a 1-acre park.
"We're building up," says Sarah Thorp, master planning manager with the Delaware River Waterfront Corp., a nonprofit organization that acts as the city's waterfront steward. And she means that literally. Before sod can be placed and landscaping planted, a low-slope ramp must be built to provide room for soil to be added. The high end of the slope will add 13 feet to the "ground" level.
The project began in April 2009. W.J. Castle & Associates P.C.'s inspected the 80x540-foot pier and identified damage requiring at least 100 repairs including deteriorated steel trusses, timber splitting among the piles, and spalling on the concrete decks.
Hydro-Marine Construction was awarded construction. Preliminary steps included cleaning debris and demolishing the unused fender system. The company then rehabilitated the steel support trusses, timber piles, pile caps, and concrete decks, followed by prep work for landscaping.
Langan Engineering & Environmental Services and landscape architects James Corner Field Operations handled park design and planning. This included designing the support in the deck for 12 tree boxes, reshaping the decking and pier nose, and supporting the edges of the pier in preparation for walkway pavers.
The $6.1 million project is being funded through the city's capital improvements budget, grants, and donations. Landscaping and paving is expected to be finished in March 2011.

I've been knitting for a year or so. I'm no expert, but I can knit a mean garter stitch scarf! :rofl:
So I got a calendar of knitting projects, a new pattern every day, and every month they have a "month block" with a little holiday motif. Well there are 12 of them. And they are meant to be placed in a field of little white 4x4 squares.
Soooo, staring at my tiny little left over balls of yarn, I decided not to follow the pattern (a serious habit of mine) and make a field of little blocks of my own. Casting on 22 sts, knit 2 rows, knit a pattern for 22 more rows and finishing with knit 2 rows, bind off.
So far it's been good to eat up stray yarn, and it's giving me a chance to practice my ribbing and small patterns. Seed stitch and differant kinds of borders and stuff I'd feel obligated to for a long period of time if I were to put them in a larger project. I can even practice tiny cable samples without ruining a scarf or sweater. And I can make it as big or little as I like, and perhaps add to it if it's not big enough. I'm going get good joining practice also... make work on differant kinds of joins and crotchet borders...
That is a neat idea. Where did you find the calendar?
I actually got it in a "day by day" store. I think... one of those nearing the end of the year calendar shops that pop up around the holidays. I see that amazon has a few also.

Associated Press
Tony Jones did his best Bruce Pearl impression on Saturday.
Filling in for the suspended Tennessee coach, Jones looked every bit like his mentor. There was the foot stomp, the head shake after a debated call and a series of flailing arm waves throughout the Volunteers' 68-65 loss to Arkansas.
After a traveling call early in the second half, there was even an animated pounding of the scorer's table that left Jones wincing and shaking his hand. His real pain, however, came in watching Tennessee fall behind by as many as 13 points and lose its Southeastern Conference opener for the first time in the Pearl era.
"It hurts right now," Jones said of his hand. "I hope I didn't break my hand by hitting it so hard."
Of course, Pearl wasn't on the bench for the Volunteers (10-5) for this conference opener. Pearl is suspended for Tennessee's first eight conference games for misleading NCAA investigators during an ongoing probe into recruiting.
That left Jones, the associate head coach who last served as coach for a full game during AAU basketball in 1993. With close to two decades of collegiate experience on the bench as an assistant since, it didn't take long for the usual highs and lows of coaching to set in.
Most of the emotions were on the low side for Jones, who watched as Arkansas took an early lead, led by one at halftime and trailed only briefly in the second half on the way to the win.
"I've been doing it for 17 years at the Division I level, working for one of the best coaches in the business collegiately in Bruce Pearl," Jones said. "I've been his right-hand man for the last 10 years, so I'm more than prepared."
The Razorbacks (11-3, 1-0) entered the game coming off the worst loss of coach John Pelphrey's Arkansas career, a 33-point defeat at the hands of No. 12 Texas. They got an early boost against the Volunteers from forward Marshawn Powell, who finished with 14 points in just his second start of the season.
The preseason All-SEC first-team selection by the coaches has been slowed for most of the season while recovering from a broken foot suffered in the offseason, and he was also suspended for a game two weeks ago.
Powell attempted Arkansas' first three shots as it built an early lead, but Tennessee answered with an 8-0 run to go up 15-10. The Razorbacks answered with a 7-0 run of their own, bookended by a pair of baskets by Powell, to go back up 17-15.
Arkansas didn't trail for the remainder of the half, though Tennessee tied the game three times. Rotnei Clarke, who had 15 points, scored the Razorbacks final six points of the half to help hold on to a 30-29 halftime lead.
"I thought our guys showed incredible toughness," Pelphrey said. "I think a lot of people may have been questioning what we were going to get today after the other day, so it was good to see them show some resiliency."
Tennessee briefly led 31-30 to start the second half after a dunk by Tobias Harris, who finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds, but Arkansas answered with one of Clarke's four 3-pointers and didn't trail again. The Razorbacks led by as many as 13 points at 57-44 after a Jeff Peterson layup on the fast break off an assist from Julysses Nobles.
The assist was one of eight in the game for Nobles, but the Volunteers rallied with a 9-0 run to close the lead to 57-53 after a 3-pointer by Melvin Goins. Delvon Johnson answered with back-to-back inside baskets for Arkansas, including an alley-oop dunk and three-point play off a pass from Nobles to go up 62-55.
"I knew we needed big plays down the stretch," Nobles said. "I was just trying to do whatever I could to get my teammates a win."
Johnson led the Razorbacks with 17 points, 11 in the second half, and hit a free throw to put the Razorbacks up 67-63. John Fields' quick dunk on the other end brought Tennessee to within 67-65 with 22 seconds remaining.
After Peterson hit a free throw for Arkansas to go up 68-65 with 19 seconds left, Harris' open 3-point look for Tennessee from the right baseline went long at the buzzer.
Afterward, Jones said he learned a lesson moving ahead to the Volunteers' game with Florida.
"Win the next one," he said.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Cal 2-27 spreader failure and mast bend
Points well taken. I will be using for day sailing, weekending and short cruising on the Chesapeake Bay, generally favorable winds conditions year round. I read where the 2-27's have a known design flaw with undersized standing rigging and de-mastings, and all the wires should be increased by 1 size, so hopefully the owner was aware of this and did so when re-rigging. And the orig. wood spreaders have also been replaced-another plus.
From what I've read these older Cals were built conservatively and that may also apply to the mast.
I'm going to look at this boat as well as a 2-29, and they both have some potential issues to pay attention to, and the info readily available thru this forum's posts and other online sites have been very helpful.
Appreciate your input-
Cheers, Rob
Re: Cal 2-27 spreader failure and mast bend
Good points...and I could also see what the yard remembers about the extent of bend and repair necessary to get it fixed.
Thanks for chiming in.
Re: Cal 2-27 spreader failure and mast bend
To some extent it depends on what you hope to get out of the boat. A bent then fixed mast will always be less stiff than a new one as a function of the damage done to the underlying metal. However, if this is going to be a daysailor/weekender then I probably isn't a real concern, the damage is unlikely to be so severe than moderate weather and loads will cause problems.
If you want to seriously race the boat then the lack of stiffness, particularly the asymetric loss can be a big problem (this is why my J-22 has 2 masts a cruising and racing one). It can cause your sails to set slightly differently on different tacks, and will make mast failure more likely in lesser wind speeds.
Re: Cal 2-27 spreader failure and mast bend
I'd consider the boat...if the mast has no bend when out of the boat, or un-tensioned and there is no apparent damage such as a dimple or crease, I would expect you are no worse off than when looking at any other boat with a 45 year old rig.
Cal 2-27 spreader failure and mast bend
I called an owner about his 1977 Cal 2-27 that he is going to donate or sell for a low prive to get rid of the boar due to lack of use. He said that 2 years ago the original wood stbd spreader failed while sailing. The mast bent slightly, not sure where exactly, and after his insurance company surveyed the damage he had the mast straightened by a professional boatyard, both spreaders replaced with aluminum type and all standing rigging replaced(not sure if from Seals Spars & Rigging).
Even if I were to purchase the boat for a extreme minimal investment, is it worth the risk of future potential mast failure? Is there any testing procedure to evaluate the weakening of the mast due to what I would guess was the excessive tension caused by the opposite side upper shroud?
Before I decide to even look at the boat I'd appreciate any comments/advice from the rigging experts out there.
Thanks, Rob

Taking place just outside Page, Arizona, Paul Basagoitia is the first mountain biker to land a natural terrain double backflip. Basagoitia's accomplishment is one he's been working on for years.
"It felt great when my wheels touch the ground because I don't think my body could have handled another hit," says Basagoitia. "It wasn't easy, I knocked myself out a couple times, but I finally accomplished what I've been trying to do for years."
Here's what extreme sports legend, Travis Pastrana had to say about Paul's jump:
"The double back flip isn't the most technical trick but it takes a lot of airtime and even more commitment. Once you leave the take-off, there is no turning back and no way to bail out. Paul has guts and it's great to see that he's pushing the limits."

No starter strip used on shed roof install?
I had a handyman install a roof on my unheated backyard shed. Roof is 5/12 pitch gable style on a 10 x 16 shed. He installed tar paper, drip edge on all edges (rakes and eaves) and a plastic rolled type vent ridge. I have perforated soffit to complete venting needs. I got the Architectural Shingles and Caps (Owens Corning 40yr) from leftovers from a friends home roofing job. The shed doesnt have gutters and he wouldnt extend the first row of shingles more than about ½ past the drip edge said w/o gutters, the shingles might blow off? Unfortunately, handyman didnt have starter strip shingles or any extra 3 tab shingles to cut down for starter. He installed the roof w/o starter strip. Now that the roof is done, would it be best to either apply roofing tar under the first course of shingles, or try to somehow add the starter strip later (if possible)?
Roofing tar?!?
Ha, ha, ha!
(The way a lot of people look at it - it's a "ROOF" - shed, house, garage, dog-house, etc...
It's a roof!)
Yes, you can add the starter strip later.
I forgot to make it clear -NO Tar!
Just get Quad caulk from home depot and seal them down along the edges...Tar will dry out and crack. Some Sherwin Williams carry NP1 by Sonneborne (BASF) which is considered better but for your app Quad will perform fine.
And for little time it 'holds', it'll create a dam at the top of the keyway that will force the water to track sideways across the roof.
No manufacturer has yet made a caulk or other 'bucket' patch that ever did anything beyond making the maker plenty of money.

Emergency Rescue EffortsPosted by on September 7, 2012
One of the many reasons I'm so proud to be the spokesperson for North Shore Animal League America is that their dedication to saving innocent animals knows no boundaries! Nothing stops the brave rescuers from Animal League America from carrying out their mission to ensure the safety and well-being of all animals—not fires, not tornados, not even hurricanes!
In the last few months alone, Animal League America's Emergency Rescue Teams have traveled thousands of miles—to provide food, shelter and other services for animals in danger from the Colorado wildfires in July; to the St. Francis Animal Sanctuary in Mississippi when their buildings were struck by a tornado; and to provide food, water and other essential supplies to animals affected by Hurricane Isaac.
Animal League America teams saved hundreds of lives by taking homeless animals already in shelters in the path of Hurricane Isaac up to our Port Washington Adoption Headquarters. This allowed the shelters to have room for incoming animals displaced by the hurricane. Many hurricane evacuation centers don't allow animals. Can you imagine having to choose between finding safety for your family and being forced to leave your pet behind? Just the thought of it breaks my heart. But, because Animal League America helped relocate homeless pets and bring them here for adoption, pet owners had a safe place to bring their animals to ride out the storm.
And that's not the end of Animal League America's rescue efforts. Also in the last month, Mobile Rescue Units saved the lives of hundreds of dogs living in puppy mills in Missouri and Oklahoma. When these animals are no longer able to breed, the mill owners often destroy them. Talk about heartbreaking! But, after being rescued by Animal League America, these poor animals get all the medical and behavioral treatment they need here in Port Washington—plus tons of love!
Then, once the dogs are ready for adoption, Animal League America finds wonderful homes for them, where they'll be given all the love they were denied for so many years. I've seen the grateful faces of these wonderful animals when their new families take them home—and the joy on the faces of the adopters! It's a thing of beauty!
I am beyond grateful to all of you who support the mission of this wonderful organization: to rescue, nurture and adopt as many innocent animals as possible. When I think of your devotion, my heart is full. Our sweet Bianca passed away this summer and I want to use this space to thank you for the outpouring of love Howard and I have received over the past month. The donations made in Bianca's name keep coming in and it makes me proud to know that her memory is saving lives. I miss her so much! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
