122, excluding wootbot's opening post and your first day sales post.
Hey, that's nearly a 1:1 ratio!
Orabbit, sorry you outsold Housewarming Gifts, but at least you're under Skatetown - and Russian Nesting Dolls is the Rariteest Derby Print!
Looks like the community voted with its dollars on this design. It's almost an all-time worst-selling record, under even Skatetown!

Its really painful to see this design print.
While I respect you being given the chance to choose a print, didnt the fact that it did sooo badly in the voting give you the slightest inclination that maybe, just maybe your judgement of what is "well done" was misdirected?
What you choose to categorize as hate, I see as opinions on a bad choice of shirt being chosen. The voting and the sales reflect that. It does mean I will bot be buying randoms next round as every random pack will have one of these in it...
congrats to orabbit for his first print.
+1 to adq for bringing the quirk back to woot (and i mean that in only a good way). some personality at last!

Wow. Do you think you could rewrite that in a way that doesn't insult all the other artists who have had their designs printed here?

how does that insult artists? it was directed at adq for injecting a little personality into the selection process. my post makes no comment about the quality of the artists, it's a post about adding some woot personality to the selection process, compared to before where woot acted largely as an automated vote-counter.
RazorClarity wrote:I guess this would be amusing if you were pregnant . . .
Being pregnant, I found the alien shirt a total win. This one is alright but like others suggested, it would be absolutely perfect as a hoodie.
As a hoodie this would be funny, but only with multiple people wearing it. As a shirt it's just... well it looks like an ugly bib. The idea was creative, but it makes me sad that of all of orabbit's submissions THIS had to be the first one to print. I'm disliking the "guest editor" part of the derby more and more.

Swaping in a 9 inch
I've finally got ahold of a 9 inch rear for my 57 chev truck project.
But now I need to make some adjustments. So 2 questions:
1)The original rearend is about 62" flange to flange while the new one is 65" roughly. Should I have it narrowed to the original dimension or something different? Or leave it alone?
2) The new rear has 2:75 gears. What do you guys think is optimum for weekend use to and from shows with some freeway driving? It's a 500 hp 454 mated to a T400 transmission.
In my part of the country....it would be a lot less expensive to just get another, more narrow rear end than shortening the one you have..... :)
I had a 55 Chevrolet pickup ( 2 nd series ) ...same basic truck as your 57 and I used a 69 Torino....it was just a bit over 59 inches wide.....measured this way.....
It was almost 3 inches more narrow than the stock rear end....total
It worked great.......it was like having a stock rear that was narrowed 1 and 1/2 inches per side...... I like to run a 3.25 or a 3.50 rear end ratio.....because I usually have tires in the 29 to 30 inch tall range....that's 2700 rpms at 70 with a 30 inch tall tire...anything less.......and the lumpy cammed engine is lugging....

Hearst and Apple have partnered in Newsstand to bring 22 of Hearst's magazines exclusively to the iPad before any other digital or retail channels. This means that new issues of magazines like Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Elle, Popular Mechanics, Seventeen, and more will be available in Newsstand days before anywhere else.
Hearst Exec: iPad Leads Digital Magazine Sales, Users Don't Want Interactive Content
Hearst, the publishing conglomerate that includes several of the world's largest magazine brands, sees a bright future of iPad and tablet editions. Duncan Edwards, CEO of Hearst Magazines International, delivered some surprising statements as to what that future will look like at this week's World e-Reading Congress in London.
The most surprising statement was that Hearst doesn't plan to include interactive content in its digital publications despite work done in the company's little known App Lab and the belief that users will pay more for a digital edition. Edwards also described mix of devices used by Hearst digital subscribers. That mix is headed up by the iPad but with Barnes & Noble's Nook platform right behind it.

Some Thoughts On FiftyOne's Acquisition Of Borderfree
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on March 1, 2012
FiftyOne, the company that provides globalization and international logistics services to US-based online retailers such as Gap, Pottery Barn, and Crate & Barrel, announced today that it is acquiring Canada Post's Borderfree unit. Borderfree, one of the first organizations to play a role in driving cross-border eCommerce, carved out a niche for itself helping US online retailers target online shoppers in Canada.
A few observations:
The acquisition does not disrupt the landscape of solution providers. With this acquisition, FiftyOne boosts its Canadian offerings and takes a small competitor out of the market, but the acquisition does not counter any direct threat from another solution provider in the space. Other providers tend to focus on different market segments, for example, International Checkout counts hundreds of clients in the SMB space, while BorderJump focuses on Latin America and the Caribbean (For an outline of different vendors, clients can read our 2011 report on Using International Shipping To Reach Online Shoppers Around The Globe). Today FiftyOne does not face another rival with the same roster of large clients.
Canada will continue to be a key market for FiftyOne. Canada ranks as the largest market for FiftyOne's clients, outpacing much larger eCommerce markets like the UK. Canadian shoppers frequently buy from US websites given the greater breadth and depth of online retailers south of the border. Indeed, a survey we conducted in Canada showed that 30% of all adults in Canada had ordered from a US online retailer in the past year. FiftyOne's acquisition of Borderfree will supplement its offerings in Canada, reducing shipping costs for Canadian online shoppers and enabling large products such as furniture to be shipped cross-border.
Online retailers today want to blanket the globe with their products – not focus on a single country. Borderfree marketed itself as a specialist in the Canadian market, and indeed, there were no comparable players with this level of expertise in Canada. However, increasingly, large online retailers shipping internationally are looking to attract consumers from more than just a single country. FiftyOne offers online retailers the ability to reach consumers in 106 countries; some of the other providers promise upward of 200. US consumer brands are using international shipping as a way to gauge demand for their products in different countries – by shipping to multiple countries rather than focusing on just one, companies hope to get a relative sense of demand to help them prioritize different markets going forward.
Let me give you a Canadian
Comment from David Cameron (not verified) on Sat, 03/31/2012 - 09:13
Let me give you a Canadian perspective on this acquisition.
You said: "With this acquisition, FiftyOne boosts its Canadian offerings and takes a small competitor out of the market, but the acquisition does not counter any direct threat from another solution provider in the space."
From the Canadian point of view, Borderfree was an entirely Canadian company and it provided great service to Canadians. It was not "a small competitor", as you say, it was all that we had! Now, we no longer control our main portal into the US market. I doubt that this will protect Canadians best interests. You can't talk about this subject without acknowledging Borderfrees relationship with Canada Post. Borderfree was a business unit of Canada Post (a federal Crown Corporation) so I have to question the current Canadian governments sanity in selling-off a profitable Canadian-based service that put Canadians first. I suspect that once the current Harper government is sent packing after the next election, we will see Canada Post (a key element in the FiftyOne business process) revert back to offering a Canadian-based Borderfree service.

GM Rick Spielman's philosophy is to build through the draft and develop homegrown players, so a prominent free agent pickup doesn't seem likely. What else can the Vikings do to improve this off-season?This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
ProFootballTalk: Will Vikings be heavy-spenders?
filthymcnasty1 says: Mar 1, 2013 9:32 PM
They should think about spending some money on a decent QB.
tokyosandblaster says: Mar 2, 2013 12:51 AM
They should think about spending some money on a decent (anything other than Adrian Peterson).
apayne2012 says: Mar 2, 2013 10:49 AM
Spielman is a MORON !!!! We need a wide receiver and we don't have 2 or 3 years to wait for a draft pick to develop.
pappavike says: Mar 2, 2013 2:29 PM
Spielman isn't stupid, Vikes will pick up at least three free agents Wr, Nt & right guard!! But first the have to resign Harvin, Loadholt, Felton and Henderson!! Teams would have to offer the moon!! to pry Harvin out of Minnesota!!
vike129 says: Mar 4, 2013 9:42 AM
I wish the wilfs would spend money on a new g.m.You have to make a serious run at wallace,and try to work something out with harvin.Imagine wallace stretching the feid,with harvin working the slot,and a.p. in the backfeild !Who you going to gaurd?
whatjusthapped says: Mar 4, 2013 11:53 AM
I don't care which FA they sign and for how much, it wouldn't make a dime's worth of difference if Ponder is still the QB.
Trent Dilfer did win a Superbowl but Baltimore had a lights out defense. And Ponder still has a long way to go to catch up to Dilfer which isn't exactly setting the bar that high to begin with.
zakrak4 says: Mar 4, 2013 12:38 PM
Those of you calling Spielman an idiot are simply idiots yourselves. Last year was his first year as GM… I mean he only had probably the best draft in history, traded our 3 pick to get more picks and still get Kalil. Then used those extra picks to crawl up and grab Smith who's going to be lights our for years. He also saw potential that no one else did in Walsh… Remember when you guys were griping about picking Walsh cause of his sr year stats? Yeah, who's laughing now? The best teams in the league do not fill needs in FA with monster contracts. Jut look at Tampa last year, how'd that pan out for them? Spielman knows what he is doing and will shut all you up within a year or two.
spartan822 says: Mar 4, 2013 5:04 PM
I agree with zakrak and pappavike on this one. Harvin is going nowhere but to Winter Park to workout. Speilman is brilliant at times and will make smart FA moves – but please no John Carlson-like signings this year! And I believe the Wilfs have done a good job of putting him in a position to succeed. It seems that ever since they ditched that stupid triangle of authority the Vikings have been better off, and when they redefined and clarified Spielman's and Frazier's roles last year (or was it the year before?) that also helped immensely.
apayne2012 says: Mar 4, 2013 8:11 PM
Ya and his Free Agent acquisitions have been stellar. Simpson was a bust. Oh and how about Carlson getting 5 million for what 3 plays, I 'm sure Percy loved that one.
jazz11001 says: Mar 4, 2013 8:51 PM
The fact is that Speilman is doing more than just acquiring talent. He is acquiring positive attitudes. As much as I wish Percy would stay it just isn't going to happen. He will trade Percy simply because of his attitude. As the draft gets near he will get a kings ransom for him and I would be looking in the direction of Dallas…just my thoughts you heard it here first Florio!
purplehaze12 says: Mar 5, 2013 2:23 PM
Percy's going to Seattle for Flynn.
Love the Guy to death, but he's getting to be a whiner.
Percy, learn from AP, the consummate professional!

The unofficial end of summer is upon us, as the Labor Day weekend ushers in our last long weekend of good weather. Well, if you don't count this cute little hurricane that'll paying us a visit.
A lot of great things happen in the sports world in September. Major League Baseball's pennant races heat up. The FedEx Cup tournaments in golf come down to the wire. Hockey's elite lace up the skates for NHL training camp. But what matters most to Americans everywhere? Football. It's back, baby! This weekend, the college pigskin kicks off across the country, and next week the big boys suit up for the NFL's opening weekend. Something just feels right in the world now that football is back, doesn't it? We've missed you so much!
But football's not all the tube has to offer this weekend. And for that, we serve up this weekend's edition of "The Couch Potato Report," C.P.R. for your sports-lovin' hearts.
Friday at 7pm, Saturday at 7pm, Sunday at 1:30pm, and Monday at 7pm, all on NESN
Because you're a die-hard, card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation, that's why! And Manny's coming back to town, who could've predicted that? The Red Sox return home after a mediocre road trip that took them through Tampa and Baltimore. For the first three games of this homestand, Fenway faithful will get to watch some hot Sox on Sox action, as the BoSox host the ChiSox. This wouldn't be all that interesting of a series normally, but after Monday's acquisition of Manny Ramirez by Chicago, all of a sudden this series is worth some attention. After the White Sox are sent to the laundry (you like that?), the wild card leading Tampa Bay Rays come to town, kicking off their series on Labor Day evening on Yawkey Way. Wins by the Red Sox may be "too little, too late," but who knows… crazier things have happened, right?
All weekend long, on ESPN, ESPN2, NBC, CBS, ABC, Comcast Sportsnet, & Versus
The BCS system may make less sense than a drunken Mel Gibson tirade, but that doesn't mean college football has lost any of its swagger as one of the most popular shows in town. The college football world started spinning Thursday night, with a small slate of action that included our first upset of a ranked team, with the Utes of Utah taking down #15 Pittsburgh in OT, 27-24. If that game's a precursor to how this college football season is going to play out, as the great Keith Jackson would say, "Woah Nellie!" A full menu of games is available to tickle your tastebuds this weekend, with top-ranked teams like Florida, Texas, LSU, and TCU all in action. The weekend is capped off Monday night, with #3 Boise St. going cross-country to take on #10 Virginia Tech.
Friday & Saturday at 3pm on Golf Channel, Sunday at 3pm on NBC, and Monday at 2pm on NBC
It's one of my favorite local events of the year. The best 100 golfers in the PGA come to Norton, MA this weekend to play the amazing TPC Boston golf course for this year's Deutsche Bank Championship. All eyes are on Tiger Woods as always, as he tries to claim a spot in the top 70 of the FedEx Cup rankings, so he can play next week at the BMW Championship in Illinois. He comes into the tournament ranked 65th, which means any slip-up here and he could be homebound next week. Beyond Woods, every golfer is chasing FedEx Cup points leader Matt Kuchar, whose win last weekend in New Jersey at the Barclays tournament propelled him to the top of the rankings. As far as I can tell, there are still tickets available for all four days of the tournament, so if you want to get out and enjoy what should be great weather for golf, post-Earl of course, head down to Norton to soak in the action. On your way down, stop by the golfers' hotel and wake up Jim Furyk, would you?
Friday at 1pm & 7pm on ESPN2, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at 11am on CBS, Monday night at 7pm on ESPN2
Believe it or not, there are tennis fans out there, and for them, this is like their Super Bowl. Flushing Meadows in New York is the scene for the annual U.S. Open tennis tournament, which already seems like it's been going on for about a month. From what I hear, there really hasn't been any major upsets so far, but then again, I'm not really listening for any to begin with. Frankly, ever since beauties Maria Sharapova and Anna Kournikova dropped from tennis relevancy, I lost what little interest I had in watching tennis. But if you are a fan, there's plenty of tennis to be had all weekend long, so eat it up.
Saturday at 7:30pm on Comcast SportsNet
Last week was the first time I gave the Revs some love in this weekly expose, and look, they took it on the chin, losing to the Philadelphia Union 2-1. So in an effort to reverse the "C.P.R." curse, I won't mention that the Revs host Drew Carey's Seattle Sounders FC Saturday night at Gillette. I won't mention that the Revs only have nine games left to make a run at an MLS playoff spot, with work to do as their 6-12-3 record isn't going to cut it. But I'll keep quiet on the Revs, with hopes that they turn it around this weekend against Seattle. I'll hush now. Shhhhhh…

Comedy legend Jerry Lewis has frankly seen better days. But nonetheless, year after year on Labor Day weekend, he and the great people at the Musclar Dystrophy Association come together to raise awareness and money for people stricken with this awful disease and other neurological disorders. This year's telethon marks the 45th year that Jerry Lewis has been involved with the Labor Day event, which started back in 1966 in New York City. Historic entertainers like John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, and Frank Sinatra have made the telethon the must-watch event of the holiday weekend each and every year. This year, the telethon will come to you from Las Vegas, which has played host to the telethon since 2006. In this article the past few months, I've taken this section and dedicated it to spreading the word about a few different charity events that have been out there for the taking, but none of them may have the history that the MDA Telethon has. While I haven't suffered from muscular dystrophy myself, I have fought off another neurological disorder in my past, so I know that sufferers of these terrible diseases need everyone's help to persevere. Take some time out of what should be a beautiful weekend to spend some time (and hopefully some money) supporting the great work of the MDA Telethon. There's no doubt that your donation will go to a truly great cause.

Communication is Key
18 Mar
Not everyone has the gift of gab. Some people would much prefer to utilize their technical skills, completing tasks on their own and functioning by themselves. But in human resources management, that system does not fly. HR professionals must see that communication is critical.
Gifted HR team members that contribute a great deal of work to an organization are still imperative, but they may lack the skills necessary to manage HR job duties. A similar comparison can be made with sports. Sometimes the best players on the field or court are unable to leverage that career into a future in managing or coaching, simply because they do not have the communication tools to be a leader. On the contrary, some of the best coaches in sports were not the top athletes on their teams during their time as players.
Communication may be one of the most important tools in an HR professional's arsenal because the skill can translate into so many aspects of his or her job. Not only do communication skills aid in tackling leadership responsibilities, they also help in problem solving, conflict resolution, interviewing and negotiating. In addition, when explaining essential HR metrics to management – one not only needs to be skilled in taking complex ideas and extracting the most necessary details but they must be capable of explaining what it all means as well as what the value of the information is to them.
Additionally, those who are gifted communicators will be better off not just in large presentations, but also in one-on-one conversations and small group meetings. The benefits of communication are endless.
Do you think communication is one of the top skills for an HR professional to have? What else makes human resources managers good at their jobs?

Trunk-mounted CD changer info?
So afaik, some Cateras were equipped with a trunk-mounted CD changer. I assume there must be some wires that run from the CD changer in the trunk to the radio up front and carry the audio signal. So I was thinking, I could probably splice into these wires and install myself a nice 3.5mm jack. No more tape player crap. Anyone done this before? And is there a wiring diagram/pinout info for the cd changer and radio plugs? Any help would be great, thanks.
I dont thinks so it's gonna work. that cd player send different type of data to the stereo, then stereo decode signal and put it on the speaker. but I can be wrong. im planning to get me 3.5 adapter that connects to antenna in the back of the stereo and will make a video of it

Citation: Crow, W.T., Koster, R.D., Reichle, R., Sharif, H. 2005. Relevance of time-varying and time-invariant retrieval error sources on the utility of spaceborne soil moisture. Geophysical Research Letters. (32)l24405, doi: 10.1029/2005GL24889. Interpretive Summary: Conservative economic analysis suggests that improvements in our ability to predict soil moisture are worth several hundred millions of million dollars (per year) to the U.S. agricultural sector. This manuscript demonstrates that traditional methods for evaluating remotely-sensed soil moisture information are flawed in such a way that they underestimate the value of such observations for improving our ability to monitor and predict the terrestrial water cycle. This realization is vital for efforts within the land surface community to ensure that NASA maintains its current commitment to a dedicated soil moisture spaceborne mission (i.e. the Hydros mission). The Hydros mission was the subject of a 2003 MOU between NASA and the USDA and ARS scientists have been very active in the design and formulation of the mission.
Technical Abstract: Errors in remotely-sensed soil moisture retrievals originate from a combination of time-invariant and time-varying sources. For land modeling applications such as forecast initialization, some of the impact of time-invariant sources can be removed given known differences between observed and modeled soil moisture climatologies. Nevertheless, the distinction is seldom made when evaluating remotely-sensed soil moisture products. Here we describe an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) for radiometer-only soil moisture products derived from the NASA Hydrosphere States (Hydros) mission where the impact of time-invariant errors is explicitly removed via the linear rescaling of retrievals. OSSE results for the 575,000 km Red-Arkansas River Basin indicate that climatological rescaling may significantly reduce the perceived magnitude of Hydros soil moisture retrieval errors and expands the geographic areas over which retrievals demonstrate value for land surface modeling applications.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1613 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Ian Grant's career as the city's new police chief is off to an emotional start.During his swearing-in ceremony at the Brandon Armoury on Friday, Grant was treated to a surprise appearance by his father, Robert Gordon Grant.
Robert Grant, a Second World War veteran, had secretly travelled here from Newfoundland to attend his son's ceremony.
The elder Grant walked into the ceremony and, in front of the assembled dignitaries and police officials, delivered a salute to his son.
"It was probably one of the most moving experiences of my life," Ian Grant said following the ceremony.
Grant hadn't expected his 93-year-old father to attend.
"When I saw him it was like a dream come true."
It was also a happy moment for his father.
"I wanted to be here today, this is a special occasion … I tell you, it was a proud day," Robert Grant said.
Ian Grant was officially sworn in as Brandon's 18th police chief during the ceremony at the Brandon Armoury on Friday afternoon.
It represented a 28-year rise up the BPS ranks for the 53-year-old.
He replaces retiring chief Keith Atkinson.
Grant was born and raised in Corner Brook, N.L., and was educated at Memorial University.
He joined the RCMP in 1980 and served in Brandon, Wasagaming and Flin Flon before joining the Brandon Police Service in 1985.
He became a sergeant in 1992, a staff sergeant in 1996 and then an inspector in May 2001.
During his time with the Brandon force, he has worked in patrol, traffic, community services/Crime Stoppers, the crime division and administration.
He was one of the original members of the Tactical Response Unit.
A married father of two, he is currently pursuing a master's degree in rural development at Brandon University.
During his speech, Grant pointed to the challenge of balancing rising policing costs with demands for service. He said the force has worked to be more efficient, but more needs to be done.
"We need to find ways to keep boots on the ground for front-line response," Grant said. "But equally, we need to keep boots in our schools, on bikes, on foot patrol and in rooms with businesses and citizen groups working with us on crime prevention initiatives."
Following the ceremony, Grant said his first task as the new chief will be to select an inspector to replace him, which will be done within a few weeks.
He also plans to meet with members of the city's newly formed police board.
The new chief said there isn't any one crime that the force needs to focus on — it needs to track all crime trends and react quickly.
"Both crime statistics and the Crime Severity Index have shown the last few years that our crime levels have come down, but we have to stay ever-vigilant," Grant said.

The bladder wall looks much healthier than last time, there is sludge and crystals that cast a dark shadow. When he stands up the crystals and sludge fall to the opposite side of the bladder. Everything else looks great recommendation is S/D for a month to dissolve the crystals then back to reg R/X diet.
So mom is happy but still needs to get more water in me somehow.....
Sort of. I get to go for an ultrasound again on my bladder. I personally don't see why I need to go, I have been fine for two weeks now, but mom seems to think that she needs to put me in that silly carrier and take me for a long drive.
Mom needs to come here more and post in my diary but she gets busy at her cat forum she created when we all thought that Catster was going to go boom. She says if anyone is interested in coming there they can, and she says you have to click on the link below to get to it:

The Colombian native, who turns 25 years of age on Sunday, was originally signed by the Houston Astros in January 2003. Ramirez played in the Venezuelan Summer League for his first three seasons, batting .202, .277 and .267 in 2003-05 respectively and swiped a career-high 16 bases in 2004.
Moving up to the US in 2006, Ramirez enjoyed his best season as he was named the team MVP for the Appalachian's League Greeneville Astros. The Appy League All-Star ranked seventh in the circuit in batting (.314), second in doubles (20) and tied for third in hits (72).
Heading into 2007, Ramirez was ranked the 28th-best prospect in the Astros system by Baseball America. His season was ruined however by a collarbone injury which limited him to 21 games and may have contributed to an ongoing decline in his productivity.
Ramirez remained a Houston farmhand through 2009, but only reached the A-Advanced level before becoming a free agent. The right-handed hitter's career average is .248 in 1,546 at bats over 445 games from 2003-09.
Cardinals Farm Director John Vuch credits his catching coordinator and Batavia manager for having brought Ramirez to the organization's attention.
"Dann Bilardello has seen Ramirez play the last two seasons during winter ball in Colombia, and was impressed with his ability to handle all three infield positions, and made the recommendation to sign him to help provide Double-A infield depth," Vuch said.
Ramirez is a veteran of international ball, in which he competed in 2010. Last March, he was a member of the Colombian national team that won the Silver medal at the South American Games held in his homeland. His teammates included former Cardinals farmhands Juan Lucena and Jonathan Sivira.
Ramirez also participated in the Pan American Games Qualifying Tournament in October 2010, where one of his coaches was Cardinals scout and VSL coach Neder Horta and Memphis infielder Donovan Solano was a teammate.
Though he has experience at second and third base, Ramirez has primarily been a shortstop, appearing there in 192 of his 282 games from 2006 through 2009. With the Cardinals, he isn't expected to be a star or maybe even a starter. It all depends on the rate of flow of the organization's prospect pipeline.
"Ramirez gives us a little insurance for Springfield in the event of injuries, and could help us avoid having to rush a player to Double-A prematurely if there's a need at that level for an utility infielder," explained the farm director.
Three of the last four Cardinals minor league signees and three of seven total added this off-season are primarily middle infielders. Earlier, Ramon Vazquez and Freddie Bynum inked deals with only Vazquez having been given an invitation to major league camp.

Are Pennsylvania Bluestone Pavers Suitable for a Residential Driveway?
1 Attachment(s)
I'm wondering if these 2" tumbled pavers would be suitable for a residential driveway?:
no. these will de-laminate under the weight of a vehicle in short time.
yes, but don't pack your monster truck there.
Recently I've seen pictures of people using bluestone in driveway applications:
Before I get the final CO from the town, I need to pave the first 25 feet of the 600 foot driveway with a hard surface (I have asphalt millings at this point).
This 25-foot apron would not be someplace where people park with any regularity.
I want to dry lay the stone (variable thickness from 1-3", not the stuff I proposed using when I started this thread) over the asphalt millings. Would delamination be that unattractive? I imagine it would only happen to those stones that we drive over, so I could lift them out and replace them every so often, right?
'bout all they're good for is a patio :yes: imo, they'd crack before delaminating
It's gonna be 'bout as hard as concrete,....
Gettin' a reasonably flat drivin' surface will be pretty tough to,...
Those pictures are Purtty,... I'd like to see those places after 10 years, 'n 100s of traffic crossin's,.....
If you fellows are pretty sure it will look like garbage, I won't waste my time.
I wouldn't mind the chore of replacing some here and there since they cost me only about $85 a pallet.
I'm in the blacktop biz, May to November, 23rd season about to start,.....
If you regrade the millin's to a nicely pitched, 'n smoothly graded finish,...
Then bring in a 3 ton/ 5 ton double drum blacktop roller, 'n Pound the 'ell out of it,....
Yer Inspector, just might buy it as a Hard Surface apron,...
If it's Pounded in, durin' a Hot, Sunny day, he'd think he was lookin' at binder blacktop,....
'cept for the gray color, 'n the occasional paint line chip showin',....
'ell,... carefully sealcoat it black, after it's beat in, 'n he'll think he's seein' brand new blacktop,.....
I agree with Bondo on the millings. If you level the milling and on a hot day spray with a little kerosene on top then hit with a vibratory smooth drum roller, it will look almost like hot asphalt pavement.
Just a question to verify. Is that real blue stone on those pallets or the cultured stuff made to look like blue stone
Unfortunately, I was in the hospital for a week with my daughter (hospital called CPS, and we had a big legal showdown). While I was tied up, my mom paid a deposit to an asphalt company for new asphalt. The apron is going to cost around $3000.
I'm going to use the technique you described for the rest of the driveway. What equipment would you recommend to grade the drive? Three-point blade? Front-end loader? My dad uses a motor grader he owns for his gravel roads, but I'm not sure where to rent one in Jersey.
If ya can find a "Cat Skinner", a dozer can easily do the job, he's just gotta back-drag to erase the dozer tracks,...
Yer Dad's grader would No doubt be a Great tool for the job,....
A wheelbarrow, shovel, 'n rake Can do the job, but Man, it's a ton of work,....

"Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all." -- John F. Kennedy
French Firm to Buy Nalco
Not the sexiest story to kick off the week, Naperville, Illinois-based Nalco Chemical Co. (NYSE: NLC), the world's largest water treatment services and products company, has agreed to be acquired by France's Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux for about $4.1 billion, or $53 a share, in cash. That represents a 24.7% premium over Nalco's closing price Friday of $42 1/2. Nalco shares jumped $5 1/4, or 14%, in the last two trading days on takeover rumors. Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux is set to commence a cash tender offer within five business days.
The deal comes on the heels of Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux' June 15 announcement that it would acquire Calgon, a Pittsburgh-based water treatment company with annual revenues approaching $300 million. Nalco, which provides on-site services to more than 50,000 industrial and commercial customers in more than 120 countries, expected 1999 revenues, including affiliates, of around $1.94 billion. The Nalco acquisition will put Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux' total water-related revenues in excess of $7.4 billion. Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux' annual revenues total $32.5 billion.
Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux anticipates the deal, expected to close in the third quarter, to be immediately accretive to cash flow in the first year and to be accretive to earnings beginning in the second year. It expects to realize more than $100 million in cost savings and "to take full advantage of important cross-selling opportunities." Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux will base its worldwide water treatment operating center in Naperville, under the direction of Edward Mooney, chairman and CEO of Nalco.

City Backtracks on Taxi Scam Allegations
The city is back-pedaling about how widespread the overcharging scam involving taxi drivers might have been.
Taxi and Limousine Commissioner Matthew Daus told City Councilmembers at a budget hearing that "a fairly significant number" of the 1.8 million trips thought to have been overcharged may not actually have been problematic.
Daus says the button that activates the higher, suburban rate was pressed at the end of many of the trips, and could have been hit by mistake. The button is located right next to the button the driver pushes to end the trip.
Bhairavi Desai of the Taxi Workers Alliance says she wants the city to make amends.
"We want an apology -- not only in writing to the media. Blast it on the GPS screens!" she says.
TLC officials could not immediately say how many of the cab trips were inappropriately charged.
The TLC said earlier this month that it had discovered one of the largest taxi scams ever, in which some 35,558 of the city's 48,000 drivers overcharged their customers by activating an out of town rate on their meters.

Revision as of 17:36, 21 September 2006
AoC 1 - Paolo :
Hi Dinis, the Owasp autumn of Code idea is great and it would be greate for me to partecipate. This is my submission informations:
1) Contact details ...........
2) Which project you want to be involved in I'd like to be involved in Code Review project
3) Why you should be sponsored for the project I've got a very strong background in software development. I reached a good C programming level (working at kernel level in Linux operating system) and a good Java programming level in web application development field. My working field is however security as pen tester and code reviewer and I want to merge these two main field of interest: security and code.
I think I can improve Code Review project merging my theorical experience (writing doc about code review, secure coding and providing code snippets in various languages as a sort of Sample Library or knowledge base) with my pratical attidute. Looking ad Owasp LAPSE project, it would be a great idea to create a sort of common API building a sort of "code review tool engine".
This engine would be generic and devoted ONLY to code review related aspects. Using such engine as basis we could build a pletora of tools providing code review capability for common os IDE (extending LAPSE for eclipse, netbeans, ...) and for ad hoc command line tool.
4) What are the objectives and deliverables My objectives are:
- focusing people attention about how much code review and safe coding important are
- providing people practical instruments to test their applications or to build their testing tool too
My deliverables are:
- improving Code Review project documentation for my first objective
- realize the engine core complete with a set of well known wrong code practice, providing a way to extend such engine and to provide a PoF testing tool using the aformentioned APIs
AoC 2 - Federico
I would like to apply for OWASP's AOC as an individual, with no relation to or sponsorship from PaySett.com (my current employer)
I would like to work on either the HoneyComb project (Especially the Java sections) or translate the current version of the 3.0 guide to Spanish.
I am a Mathematician and Computer Scientist who has been working for the last few months writing up the Security Assurance procedures that will be followed in all releases of our products.
Although security is not my main area of expertise, WebApplication development is my main area (especially Java) and therefore I feel that being part of OWASP's target audience will help me write things in a clear and concise manner that will be easy for developers, architects and executives to understand.
I do not feel that one person can complete the honeycomb project in three months. However, for the given 3-month timeframe (considering my other responsibilities), I would acquire the following commitments:
- Finish all Java-related articles in the Vulnerabilities section – and others I feel I have the expertise … not sure how many more
- Organize and sort the articles in the Vulnerabilities and Attacks section
- Create as many stubs, with basic info, as possible for Vulnerabilities and Attacks section
- Finish all articles in the "principles" section
- Finish all articles in the "threats" section
- Translate all the above to Spanish
if instead OWASP would be more interested in the guide project, I would Translate the 3.0 guide to Spanish
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments.
Best regards,
AoC 3 - Tom
Hi Dinis,
I'm interesting in sorting out the owasp.org website and fixing things up... aka, "WebMaster the Owasp.org website for 3 months and implement all missing functionality". I'm just finishing up my MSc in Information Security at Royal Holloway, University of London. My thesis is on secure coding (investigations into security development lifecycles, how they interact with security assessments and all that lark) however it's not web related so I doubt it'll be useful.
Get back to me.
AoC 4 - Joshua
G'day Dinis,
I have been working with Eoin on the liveCD project and we are hoping to have a Beta version ready for Seattle. I would like to be considered for the "OWASP Autumn of Code" sponsorship.
I have been working very hard in my spare time to get the LiveCD up and running. Basically, I spent some time going through all the distros and testing different build methods. After all the testing Morphix was the easiest and most stable to work with.
So far we have a working version with the following tools installed; WebScarab Nmap Nessus Paros OWASP Guide 2.0 CAL9000 TCPDUmp Ethereal Nikto NetCat
Working on : WebGoat Branding ( Boot Menus, Wallpaper ) KDE Menu Slimming down the build Packaging on CD/DVD Prof. Custom Graphics / Icons RFID Tools VOIP Tools
This project was created because other LiveCD's don't focus on App testing and training. It's mostly infrastructure. That's where "labRat" the Live Distro fills the gap. This is also excellent to have all the OWASP resources during an onsite job or training in the lab. That's where the name came from-- spending those long hours in our security labs.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the LiveCD project and if you feel it's worthy of sponsorship. I know that several chapter leads I know are anxious to get it up and going.
AoC 5 - Jonathan
My name is Jonathan [...] and I am the Development Security Officer for [...] inc. In my current role I am responsible for the integration of security processes within our companies development lifecycle as well as managing our security engineering team. I have worked in the industry for six years, in which time I was promoted from developer, to architect, and into my current role as DSO.
I have much respect for OWASP and would find this sponsorship program to be an excellent way of getting involved with your organization (of course, the sponsorship money is nice too :). In reviewing the projects listed I have found the 'OWASP Testing Guide' to be the most interesting, but I admit that I have little or no experience with any of the projects. If there any projects you would like to refer me to as an experienced Java developer and understanding my current role, I would be very interested.
Thank you for your time.
AoC 6 - Hardik
Hello Dinis,

I would like to submit a project proposal for the OWASP Autumn of Code 2006.
Project Request:
First Choice: WebMaster the Owasp.org website for 3 months and implement all missing functionality
Second Choice: OWASP PHP Project
Third Choice: OWASP AJAX Security Project
I have worked as a professional web developer for 6+ years and have participated in several open source projects including tiki-wiki and other content management system projects. I am employed by the Ontario Libraries as a consultant on web development technologies and web server deployment strategies. During my career, I have had the luxury of learning and furthering my skills through the open-source community of developers who have offered one-on-one advice, project source code, and valuable insight. Without this guidance it would not have been possible for me to progress as quickly as I have, nor would my journey have been as enjoyable of an experience.
My primary interest includes PHP / MySQL development, server administration (FreeBSD / Linux), and graphics design / usability study. As a web developer I have had the opportunity to learn and use numerous technologies and programming languages running under a variety of environments. This has forced me to learn to adapt quickly under various circumstances and environments, and has taught me how to work both alone as well as within a team. I would like to use this unique experience to aid others within the community in any way possible, including the continued development of services within the owasp.org website.
Deliverables (Web Master):
1. Website template and branding 2. Prepare marketing materials (digital format) 3. Content updating and proofing (English) 4. Prepare website documentation for future developers 5. Work in conjunction with other teams (AJAX, JS, PHP) to audit and develop site 6. Develop features and functionality as identified by OWASP and community
Please feel free to contact me at your leisure to discuss my proposal. I will provide a detailed portfolio of my work if this is of interest and/or I can prepare a deliverables list for the other two projects if necessary.
Thank you,
AoC 8 - Josh

NEW ORLEANS — Transocean is refusing to honor subpoenas from a federal board that has intervened on behalf of U.S. Chemical Safety Board. A federal board has challenged Transocean's involvement in monitoring the testing of the blowout preventer that failed to stop the oil spill disaster that blewup the Deepwater Horizon on April 20, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico.
Transocean says that U.S. Chemical Safety Board does not have jurisdiction in the probe, so it doesn't have a right to the documents and other items it seeks. The federal board, however, says that U.S. Chemical Safety Board does have a right and has intervened to enforce the subpoenas.

Published by maritime lawyer Gordon, Elias & Seely, LLP
Associated Press oil spill reporter Harry Weber claims the New York Times story about the "Deepwater Horizon's Final Hours" published Sunday December 26 is 'patently false'.
Their key assertions that the destruction of the Horizon 'has escaped intense scrutiny' and that the final hours are only now possible to piece together are patently false. A dozen different AP staffers as early as May have done numerous spot, enterprise and investigative reconstruct pieces on every element in the Times story, plus many they didn't focus on.

NEW ORLEANS, LA – An investigation into the failure of the blowout preventer (BOP) from the Gulf Oil Spill in 2010 may have been compromised due to a conflict of interest involving a relationship between the investigating firm and employees of companies involved in the incident.
Doubt is being raised because a Transocean Ltd. employee was allowed to manipulate some of the equipment on the BOP during the investigation. Transocean is the owner of the Deepwater Horizon, the oil rig involved in the disastrous Gulf coast oil spill which is under investigation. ... Read More

WASHINGTON, DC – An Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("ANPRM") regarding the Jones Act has recently been withdrawn by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"). The withdrawal of the rulemaking proposal occurred on November 15, 2010 and has to do with the transportation of merchandise and equipment by foreign-flagged vessels engaging in the support of Outer Continental Shelf ("OCS") activities.
The ANPRM was under review by the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") at the time of its withdrawal. Had the rulemaking proposal not been withdrawn, it would have been published in the Federal Register, as usual. ... Read More

Best Of :: La Vida
Moreno's is unexpectedly charming when you set foot in this strip mall spot near the ASU campus — faux stone details, cozy booths, and a fresh salsa bar are just a few of the details that make it better than your average Mexican joint. The menu is broader and more interesting, too, with a variety of sopes, tostadas, cheese crisps, and tortas to round out the list of burros and tacos. Better yet, they offer fillings like lengua (tongue), adobada (grilled pork), and cabeza (head) along with the usual suspects. To drink, there are aguas frescas like jamaica and strawberry, ladled out of huge glass jars. And get this — Moreno's features a bacon-wrapped Sonoran-style hot dog, too, eliminating the need to hunt down the regional treat at a food truck. Why go anywhere else when Moreno's seems to have it all?
Barrio Cafe chef Silvana Salcido Esparza turned 50 this year, and she was pissed. It wasn't the number of candles on her cake or years she's spent building her restaurant business on 16th Street — it was Arizona Senate Bill 1070. Esparza's been glued to the news and images of Arizona's Mexican community in all its lackluster glory on the big screen. "Oh, we have a vibrant community here," she says. "We just need a center for that community to really shine." So she started with her back wall. Esparza brought in El Moises to paint a mural, and then she was struck with a vision: a Calle of Murals. She set up a Facebook page, then an e-mail address, then a website. She has almost 20 artists and 500 Facebook fans. The first official "Calle 16" mural will go up in October. "They can't stop us," says Esparza. "I want the city to crawl back to us and ask where they can help."
Art with a political edge is what this town's been needing in the worst possible way, and Phoenix's new Arizona Latino Arts and Cultural Center/Galeria 147 has been delivering. In a state where Latinos are under the gun, both literally and metaphorically — from the Legislature, in the form of the ethnic studies ban and SB 1070, to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's notorious anti-immigrant sweeps of Hispanic neighborhoods — ALAC's providing an outlet for the indignation and outrage of an entire people. ALAC's debut presented works from old hands like painters Ramon Delgadillo and Luis Mena, in addition to new ones, such as muralist Francisco Garcia, whose work depicts the sacrifice, the pride, the victimization, and the beauty of Arizona Latinos. Out of the crucible of oppression often comes the stuff of great art, and ALAC/Galeria 147 seems to be proving that with its very existence.
It was a collection of tentacles coming out of a Starbucks mug. How could we not love it? And that's just one of the bizarre creations we got to see at the Mutant Piñata art show at Bragg's Pie Factory. This annual event never fails to tickle our imagination with papier-mâché vampires and anatomically correct (or so we're told) baboons. You may be used to candy-filled piñatas, but we're telling you that the real treat is the eye candy you'll see at this show. Leave the bat at home. The mutant piñata show happens each March, during Art Detour, and the word is that several pieces from last year's show — including a fabulous vampire by Tempe artist Mike Maas — will appear in the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art's People's Biennial in October 2011.
Want to beat the crap out of Jan Brewer? Now's your chance — though at $85 a pop, we're not sure you'll want to deface your purchase. Leave it to Scott Jacobson — he of the impish grin and years in the middle of Arizona politics doing public affairs for a big, bad utility company. These days, Jacobson's pushing piñatas rather than power — though, really, his political spin on papier-mâché wields a strength of its own. E-mail him if you'd like one of his piñatas for your very own.
One of the best events of the year is the Dia de los Muertos festival, hosted by the Desert Botanical Garden on Halloween weekend and during the first week of November. The festivities include Mexican folk arts, storytelling, dance, and poetry, as well as a mercado with awesome wares for sale. Wander the garden paths and check out the ofrenda installations, pause to make crafts with the kids — like decorating your own calaca (smiling skull) mask or molded sugar skulls. There is enough pageantry and, yes, food to keep you entertained all day. Who knew celebrating death could be so fun?

As Greg said, I'd leave it alone at this point unless one of the two following things is bad.....
One is to check if the baffle plate is flaking away. On a unit I owned, probably from moisture & ash residue over the summer, the plate was peeling away in layers and ended up extremely thin in sections.
The second is the integrity where the baffle plate welds to the side of the stove. On my unit, the baffle plate warped badly (thinner plate + too hot fire) and the welds were stronger than the sides which developed cracks as the plate pulled them in from warping.
Toward the end of the last year I burned it, exhaust escaped from these cracks. It took me a while to find it. I thought the exhaust smell was due to poor draft from ash build up or coming from the flue pipe seams and joints as it exited the stove and thimble and I kept "fixing" that. It wasn't so bad that the CO detector went off or changed its numerical reading, but I kept getting a slight smell of exhaust.
I am making sure that I vacuum off the baffle plate as well as I can at the end of the season and during the mid-season warm spell fly ash cleanings. On mine the fly ash collects there as well as the thimble and you will see a drop in draft when it builds up. You can get access to the top of the plate from the front opening and also through the exhaust port in the back. It does take a bit of twisting to get the vacuum hose in there.

We had a derby for Monsters, Robots, and Aliens. We got a ton of awesome submissions (really, there was cool stuff in there!) and here are our Editors' faves from those who didn't win:
