In fact the only disappointment here is that the cabling system isn't modular. Headphones such as Sennheiser's similarly-priced CX 95s have cables that can be split in two, which means if you have a mobile phone with a modular hands free extension, you can take calls without having to unplug your ears.
The principal benefit to the odd earbud-style design of these headphones is, however, comfort. The silicon tips - of which small, medium and large fittings are supplied with the phones - sit perfectly in your ears. There's none of that burning, aching sensation that you can get through extended use of tight-fitting canalphones, and they also feel far lighter in your lugs than standard earbuds. Another plus is that there's less of the cable-rub amplification that you get with completely sealed canal phones.
In theory, an earbud design such as this also allows much more room for drivers too, so it's easier to achieve top level sound quality for less cash. Keen to test this theory out, I grabbed my current favourite headphones at this price - the aforementioned Sennheiser CX 95s - and settled down for an extended back-to-back listening session. I hooked each pair of headphones up to my Sqeezebox and portable headphone amp to ensure top quality at the source level.
Kicking things off with some laid back jazz - Pat Metheny's atmostpheric album, Map of the World - and a difference was immediately apparent. The Bose phones didn't appear to have the punch, detail and clarity of the Sennheisers. With the CX 95s you can hear the 'deliberate' hiss on the original recording and all the extra sounds around the edges, such as the buzz of Metheney's guitar strings as he plucks them. In comparison, the Bose phones are far less involving, floating on top of the music rather than delving down deep into the guts of it.

Fantastic headphones, made listening to my ipod something i enjoy and look forward to, rather than just helping pass the time as i walk from A-B. they sound great altough the cable looks a bit weird.
Awful. Yes, they are made quite nicely but the sound of them is so dreadfully muted and muffled. As alluded to by the author, the have no sharpness of sound or clarity of note. I have compared these to several other phones I possess (B&O, Sony, etc.) and they are not as clear definition of any of them. I should of have been wary when in the hand book it points out to turn of all sound enhancements that may be switched on in your player device. The only way I could get anywhere a sensible sound was by turning bass adjustements down and lifting the treble.
Please don't waste your money. The Sennhiesers are a far better investment for those of you with a decent pair of ears.
My biggest problem with these are the silicon earpieces are to easy to lose as they fall off the earphones very easily
the sound quality of these headphones are amazing, do not listen to lionel cC-smith, but do not go out rushing to buy them, this is your WARNING. I have bought 2 of these headphones and they have both broken with similar problems, the jack had broken on the first set due to flimsy wiring and the wire has snapped on the second set.
I agree with the review and wish I had found it before buying mine. They are not bad earphones but quite muddy and I need to turn the bass down to make them listenable. Also they are quiet by comparison with my Sennheiser and Ultimate Ears. I can hardly hear my iPod Nano when on the train so only use them when I am out for a walk and generally only when listening to audiobooks for which they are good. I find them comfortable (which is why I haven't got rid of them yet) but they are not worth the money and you will find much better earphones out there. I am a Bose fan and have their noise cancelling headphones which are very good. These earphones though are a big let down.
As Muzza above, I have also had two pairs of headphones and both broken from the jack. First pair was straight connection (i.e. pin to wire upright), and these frayed after 10 months. I did query with sales assistant when returned under guarantee that the newer version wire to jack was set at a right angle but they assured me never seen this problem before! Within 6 months these also frayed and are not usable. Shame because I really did enjoy the sound and comfort. Looking for another manufacturer now - any suggestions?
The Bose in-ear Headphones are quite good in sound, however not being noise cancelling is a let down as you sometimes can't hear much of hte music. To enjoy it you must be in a very quiet place. Even most of the in-ears aren't noise-cancelling, the rubber in-year cancels most of the noise, however the Bose haven't this. If they change the sicicone plug maybe it gets better.

Say What — Soulja Boy Says 'Even In Jail My Swag Was Turnt Up' + More
Your man Soulja Boy posted his mugshot on his Twitter page yesterday, with the following text "Even in jail my swag was turnt up." Fantastic. [Twitter]
Miley Cyrus discussed the difficulty she felt deleting her Twitter account, "You all are the closest thing to my heart & it breaks my spirit to hear that some of you feel neglected since I deleted my twitter," she told her more than 2 Million fans. It's a hard knock life. [MTV]
Lisa Raye went on Lip Service and discussed some things. "I was private plane and champagne sipping before I met him. Everybody wants to be with a winner… you have your list of what you are going to accept and what you're going to take…just look at the white girls, the white mamas, what do they tell their kids. You date this lawyer, this doctor. They rear them differently. Why is it so bad when a black girl thinks the same way? My mother wants me to make sure I'm with somebody that's wealthy and healthy that's going to treat me well. Just because he has money doesn't mean I'm negating the fact that he has personality, he's loving, he's generous, he's kind.." …Said the woman who is famous for something that no one can remember. If all white mamas are telling their kids to strictly date lawyers and doctors, they're not listening. Just look at Bristol Palin. [TeamYee]

Mumbai: The sequel to the movie Dhamaal, none other than Double Dhamaal, is all se t and waiting to be released on the 24th of June. The film will give us the chance to see the Bollywood actor Jaaved Jaffrey in action, who after a fun filled filming experience has managed to have quite the unpleasant finale.
From what we have been able to find out, the filming team had to shoot one of the final scenes at the Mehboob studios.
However, it seems that just before the shooting for the film was about to take place, the Bollywood actor apparently broke his leg and he had to be rushed to a hospital. The actor was indeed in very big pains, so much that the director of the movie production had to modify the final scene, so all the actors were shown lying on the bed.
When asked to comment on this subject, the producer Ashok Thackeria said to the reporters that "The film is on its last leg… Jaaved jumped on the bed very hard and his knee and the ligament below the knee cap tore very badly. We immediately took him to Lilavati as we were in Mehboob Studios…the doctors examined him after X-Rays were taken…
Luckily it was not a major injury but he was in immense pain to say the least. Despite the pain, Jaaved insisted we finish the shoot and hence we then changed the scene with the four boys together on the bed. Javed was brought with a leg support and crutches to the shooting floor, and we wrapped up the shoot and celebrated later on with Jaaved and the entire team!"
According to our sources, Jaaved has injured his other leg in the film Dhamaal. We have to say that this is quite the coincidence. But maybe this will bring good luck to the sequel, as the first film was a success.

Elements of a Hermeneutics of Knowledge in Government : The Coalition of Public Sector Reform and Enterprise Resource Planning
Klaus, Helmut (2004) Elements of a Hermeneutics of Knowledge in Government : The Coalition of Public Sector Reform and Enterprise Resource Planning. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Helmut Klaus Thesis (PDF 1MB)
In techno-organisational innovation, knowledge is reconstituted. Understanding this process in its complexity and its outcomes asks for an inquiry and interpretation that heed to the conditions at the end of modernity, and must therefore take recourse to practical philosophy. This understanding has been formulated with reference to a field study that inquired into the conduct of reform and effectuation of new information technology by the central department of a regional government over a period of approximately eight years. In considering this ambience, the study has been informed by (i) a synopsis of hermeneutic thinking on knowledge; (ii) an outline of governmentality and (information) technology; (iii) a reflection on the conditions of the social sciences and their relation to information technology; (iv) an exploration of the possibilities of social inquiry at the end of modernity. Deliberating the stipulations of social inquiry, the destructive narrative is proposed that allows for a rational and argumentative appropriation of the past, beyond scientific method and mere perceptivity. Events, ideas, and experiences indicate the reciprocal relation of political and organisational rationalities, on the one hand, and managerial and informational technologies on the other. Within these dimensions, the knowledge of governmentality is being re-defined, shifting expertise into the harness of business discipline. The rationalities of information, process, integration, prediction and performance, and ultimately efficiency, make bureaucracy itself an object of increased scrutiny. These rationalities also remind that the challenge of Ge-stell and the rule of politics-as-fabrication do neither come to pass primarily in implementations of managerial technologies, nor in instantiations of information systems, but within the articulations of the technological worldview. Due to the fragmented and contentious nature of knowledge, innovation as routine nevertheless appears disjointed and asynchronous, yet upholding the representational and disciplinary constellations.

BURLINGTON, Vt. - The
University of Vermont shot 57.8 percent from the floor and had five players in
double figures to defeat the Canisius men's basketball team 87-79 at the
Patrick Gymnasium in a Ramada WorldWide BracketBusters game on Saturday
afternoon. With the loss, Canisius falls to 17-11 on the season.
Harold Washington led Canisius with
a season-high 29 points on 9-of-16 shooting. Senior Alshwan Hymes had 15 points in 24 minutes off the bench. Junior Billy Barton had 12 points and five
assists. Senior Isaac Sosa scored 11
points while junior Chris Manhertz
grabbed 10 rebounds.
just didn't guard them and they made shots," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "We did a poor job
defensively - plain and simple. We have to guard, and we have to have some guys
make some plays on the defensive end of the floor. You can't let good teams
like that shoot better than 55 percent from the field and think you're going to
be able to win."

from behind the arc. Vermont scored eight straight points to go up 16-10 and
drained four of its first five 3-pointers in the early going. The Griffs used
3-pointers from Hymes on back-to-back possessions to take a 23-22 lead with
just over seven minutes left in the half. The Griffs extended that to a 10-2
run, going up 27-24 on a jumper from Washington. Vermont scored 11 straight
points and closed the half on a 14-3 run to take a 38-30 lead into the locker

Luke Apfeld and Trey Blue, to go up 53-40. Canisius responded with five quick
points, getting a 3-pointer from Hymes and a layup from Washington to get
within eight. Vermont extended the lead to as many as 15 points, going up 68-53
after a 3-pointer from Sandro Carissimo with 7:35 left. The Griffs came back with
an 8-2 run, getting a 3-pointer and drunk from Washington along with a
3-pointer from Baron to make it 70-61.

stretch where he scored 10 of the Catamounts 14 points with two free throws to
make it a 13-point game. Canisius made a late rally, using a 10-2 run to get
within five at 76-71 after a 3-pointer from Sosa with 1:13 left. Vermont made
12 free throws in the final 90 seconds to put the game away.
led Vermont with 22 points while Clancy Rugg and Blue each had 17 points. Apfeld scored 14 points and Carissimo had 10 points. Vermont went

South Florida Foreclosures Fall, But Still Among The Worst In The nation.
The foreclosure rate in South Florida is two and a half times higher than the national average, but foreclosures are trending downward.
South Florida foreclosures dropped by 40 percent from last July. It's the 12th straight month of declines.
Even with the improvement, Realty Trac Vice President Daren Blomquist says the Miami-Metro market ranks 5th in foreclosures in the nation.
Blomquist says he feels the South Florida market has turned the corner.
He expects the South Florida market should be back to a more normal level of foreclosures by the second half of next year. He says the market's already shown strong signs of recovery.
He says the tri-county area still has the second highest foreclosure inventory behind New York city market. There are almost 95 thousand properties in the South Florida market that are in the foreclosure process or bank-owned.
He says our Real Estate market's being hurt by the thousands of homes in foreclosure but are still being held back by banks.
Foreclosures nationwide are up slightly in July in Realty Trac's latest report, but the rate's still 16 percent lower than a year ago.
July was the 46th month in a row that nationwide foreclosures fell.
Florida foreclosure activity decreased 30 percent on a year-over-year basis in July - but the state still posted the nation's highest state foreclosure rate for the 10th consecutive month.
One in every 469 Florida housing units had a foreclosure filing in July, more than two and a half times the national average.
The worst foreclosure situation in Florida is the Orlando-Kissimmee market with one in every 357 housing units in a foreclosure filing.

Adams, Carr & Smith Named to Detmer Award List
May 1, 2013
FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State wide receiver Davante Adams, quarterback Derek Carr and safety Derron Smith were named Wednesday to the 2013 Detmer Award Preseason Watch List, as announced by the website SaturdayBlitz.com.
The Detmer Award, which originated in 2011, honors the best individual performer from the non-Bowl Championship Series conferences. There were 32 total players named to the preseason watch list Wednesday.
Carr, who finished third in the 2012 Detmer Award voting behind winner Jordan Lynch of Northern Illinois and Colby Cameron of Louisiana Tech, is one of 16 quarterbacks on this year's watch list. The 2012 Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year threw for 4,104 yards and 37 touchdowns against seven interceptions as a junior last season.
Adams and BYU's Cody Hoffman are the only two wide receivers on the preseason watch list. Adams was an honorable mention All-American of Sports Illustrated last season and the 2012 MW Freshman of the Year. He had a monster campaign as a redshirt freshman, catching 102 passes for 1,312 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Smith is one of four defensive players and the only defensive back on the preseason watch list. In 2012 his six interceptions tied for the fifth-most in the FBS and helped Fresno State as a team rank No. 3 nationally with 22 picks. Smith was second on the team with 79 tackles and he helped the Bulldogs rank No. 2 nationally in pass defense, giving up only 167.15 yards per game through the air.
In all there were 10 Mountain West players selected to the preseason watch list. Joining the three Bulldogs was:
Cody Fajardo, QB, Nevada
David Fales, QB, San Jose State
Chuckie Keeton, QB, Utah State
Demarcus Lawrence, DE, Boise State
Adam Muema, RB, San Diego State
Brett Smith, QB, Wyoming
Joe Southwick, QB, Boise State

'Kinshasa Symphony' Opens NY African Film Festival
Mahen Bonetti, founder of the New York African Film Festival (N.Y.A.F.F.) has an annual dilemma. From a program of over thirty films, she has to pick one to open each year's festival. The film has to be so enticing that the audience is eager to come back to see more. That's a lot of pressure, but Bonetti is used to it. She's been selecting African films for New Yorkers to see for the past eighteen years.
When I visited the N.Y.A.F.F. office, Bonetti told me her secret to programming opening night, which this year falls on Wednesday April 6. She aims to appeal to both fans of African cinema and to people who may be seeing their very first African film.
This year, she's chosen the documentary "Kinshasa Symphony," a film about the Democratic Republic of Congo's only symphony orchestra and its musicians. If you're shocked that there's a 200-member strong orchestra performing Handel, Mozart and Beethoven in a region better known for conflict, corruption and chaos, that's the point! "Kinshasa Symphony" challenges many of the usual images and stories that come out of Congo. Bonetti describes the documentary simply as "triumphant."
It took Bonetti's team almost a year to program the New York African Film Festival. They scoped out competitions and other festivals, went on research trips and watched hundreds of movies.
Despite the workload, Bonetti still remembers the first time she saw "Kinshasa Symphony." It was 2 A.M. when she settled down to watch the DVD.
"I watched it twice!" she said. "I cried. It's one of these films that makes you so emotional because you think against all odds, here are these people who are really trying to bring relief not only to themselves but to an entire nation."
The Kinshasa Symphony orchestra's founder and conductor Armand Diangienda will be onstage at the festival on Wednesday night to answer audience members' questions.
The German filmmakers who made "Kinshasa Symphony" insisted that Diangienda be the special festival guest. Turning down a trip to New York was an easy decision for them, because they felt the true stars of the documentary were Diangienda and the orchestra he created.
The story of the orchestra is so compelling that Diangienda has been filmed a number of times. But he said making "Kinshasa Symphony" was a unique experience.
"In the film you see the work, but also you see the everyday life of the musicians who are playing in the orchestra," Diangienda said. "It shows clearly how difficult life is for the musicians, but also how committed they are."
Festival founder Mahen Bonetti found Diangienda's spirit contagious although she had yet to meet the conductor in person.
"Everybody needs a bit of Armand's spirit to rub off on them," Bonetti said. "He's my new best friend hero!"
"Kinshasa Symphony" plays April 6 and 8 at the Walter Reade Theater in Manhattan. For a full schedule of films at the New York African Film Festival, click here. Or click below to see a slideshow of "Kinshasa Symphony" stills.

There are so many messages out there about what we should and shouldn't put in our bodies. Since this is National Nutrition Week, let's answer the question "What is a healthy snack, and does it need to be organic to be truly healthy?" There is not one answer to this question, but we will try to help you sort through the myths and facts about organic foods.
Once you've learned which foods should be organic, then making a healthy snack with easy snack recipes becomes simple. So, what is organic? We turned to a leading health authority, the Mayo Clinic, for some information.
What is Organic
"Organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process their products. This includes meat, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and even grains. Organic farming uses natural methods of fertilizing, weed control, or even feeding livestock.
Conventional farmers may use chemical fertilizers, spray synthetic insecticides, or even give growth hormones, antibiotics, or medications to prevent disease or encourage growth. Those chemicals wind up in the food we eat.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) awards certification to producers who follow USDA standards for producing organic food.
The seal they provide can only be displayed by producers that meet the criteria set by the organization. Foods that contain completely organic ingredients may use a "100 percent organic" label. Those that are at least 95 percent organic ay simply use the term "organic".
For the most part, it is important to purchase whole organic foods. There may be some variation about which foods you should always purchase as organic, but here's a list of the 10 most important ones.
- Baby food
- Strawberries
- Rice
- Oats/Grains
- Milk
- Corn
- Bananas
- Green Beans
- Peaches
- Apples
When it comes to packaged foods, look for the seal, or the USDA wording and read those labels for organic ingredients.
Snack Healthy
So, what about healthy snacking? Not everyone wants to munch on organic carrots and fruit all day long. There are organic party foods and easy snack recipes that are made with organic ingredients that are surprisingly good. Organic foods taste the same as conventional foods, and there are numerous certified organic items that are tasty ingredients.
How does Avocado and Chipotle Black Bean Dip sound? Here's the easy snack recipe for this delicious dip:
½ cup warm water
1 package Simply Organic Chipotle Black Bean Dip
2 just-ripe avocados
Combine the Black bean Dip Mix and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Stir in diced avocado. Add finely chopped organic tomatoes.
Here is a list from "Simply Organic" USDA certified organic foods that are all easy snack recipes and party food. Recipes
Remember, while you may not feel it's necessary to use all organic foods in every recipe, buy healthy packaged snack foods and purchase organic whole foods to ensure a tasty and healthy National Nutrition Week, and beyond.

Community Transport
One of the major barriers to independence and social participation for residents who are older, frail or younger with a disability, is difficulty accessing transport. Public transport may not be easily negotiated or within a convenient distance of your home and taxis can be costly or difficult to arrange. We understand also that although you may still drive, there are some destinations where you may prefer not to because of traffic, parking or navigation problems. Family and friends can sometimes assist but this is not always an ideal solution.
Community transport is a means of filling the gaps unable to be met by conventional public and private transport options. In addition to responding to the needs of the transport disadvantaged, community transport offers benefits such as personalised service, the convenience of door to door pickup and delivery, reliability and punctuality. Users of our community transport consistently remark how it encourages a real sense of community and belonging and helps establish social bonds and friendships.
The City of Mitcham's Community Transport is available to residents who are older and frail or younger with a disability and are transport disadvantaged. The program is administered by Community Wellbeing Coordinators and provided by volunteers, or in some cases by Council approved contractors or taxi companies. As well as enabling residents to carry out shopping necessary to their wellbeing, the Community Bus visits libraries. Personal Transport is available for medical, wellbeing and other essential appointments.
Read on for details of our Community Transport services
Community Bus
The Community Bus is a door-to-door service that operates across the Mitcham Council area. It is funded jointly by Mitcham Council and the State and Commonwealth Governments. As well as providing transport for residents who are older, frail or younger with a disability, the Community Bus can accommodate residents who live independently and are transport disadvantaged. Volunteers drive the buses and assist passengers with carrying shopping and entering and alighting from the buses. All our Community Bus volunteers are fully accredited, trained and have a good appreciation of the needs of passengers. The City of Mitcham has two Community Buses, each seating up to 18 passengers. Both buses have a low step for ease of access and one has wheelchair access.
The buses provide a weekly shopping trip to Blackwood, Mitcham, Pasadena and Castle Plaza Shopping Centres. They travel monthly to Westfield Marion and the Central Market. As well, they provide a monthly trip to the Blackwood and Mitcham Libraries, so residents can select their own books and enjoy a cuppa. Staff and volunteers are available in the libraries to assist with locating and selecting books.
Regular passengers find that travelling on the Community Bus is a pleasant outing and an opportunity to socialise with fellow residents.
A donation of $2 each way is requested.

Booking a seat on the Community Bus
You or your carer can register for the Community Bus by phoning the Coordinator on 8374 7791. Once registered, you can book your trip (we request a minimum of two days in advance), or make regular bookings for your weekly transport needs of up to two journeys per week. For example, you may book one trip to your local shopping centre and another to your local library.
Travel on the Community Bus
Instructions and directions of the bus driver and volunteer helper must be followed at all times.
"The Community Bus is a life saver. I wouldn't get out of the house without it. I love every minute of being on the bus and the volunteers are terrific. Without it, I would be stranded." (Dawn, regular Community Bus passenger)
Personal Transport
Personal Transport is available to residents of Mitcham who are older and frail or younger with a disability and their carers, who have difficulty accessing public or other means of transport. It is designed to assist with essential travel (such as to medical, therapy or wellbeing appointments). We have a dedicated team of volunteers who provide transport by private vehicle. You are picked up from your home, taken to your required destination and then returned home again. Volunteers are fully trained and their vehicles are checked for safety. To ensure the service is personalised, we take care to match our volunteers with residents as far as possible. In some circumstances Council approved contractors or approved taxi providers can supplement volunteer availability.
It is expected that the destination will be within or in close proximity to the Mitcham Council area. In cases where the destination is well beyond this or parking is challenging (for example some hospital outpatient departments), our volunteers or contractors can transport you one-way (thereby ensuring you arrive at your appointment on time), provided you are happy to use a taxi or make other arrangements for the return trip. If needed we can assist with the cost of the taxi trip home.
How much does it cost?
|Fees per person (no charge to carers who accompany residents)
|Appointments within the Mitcham Council area
$6 one way
$12 two way
|Appointments outside the Mitcham Council area
$9 one way
$18 two way
To ensure the availability of Personal Transport to as many eligible residents as possible, and the safety and security of passengers and drivers, the following applies:
- Use of this service is usually fortnightly or up to 26 trips per year unless negotiated otherwise. We can however accommodate short term weekly transport where someone has a special need, for example is recovering from surgery and requires more frequent medical visits.
- A maximum of three passengers per car is allowed for accompanying residents or carers.
- We ask that you provide at least three working days notice of your appointment when possible
- Volunteers, taxi drivers or contractors can provide low level assistance. If a higher level of support is required, our Coordinators can refer you to another provider.
How do I apply?
If you are new to Personal Transport services or have not used the services within the past twelve months, please contact My Aged Care, phone 1800 200 422.
If you have used our Personal Transport services within the past twelve months, please telephone the Coordinator on 8372 8829.
If you are under the age of 65 with a disability please telephone the Coordinator on 8372 8884.
"Council have made 100% of my life easier. I only have to pick up the phone and see if council can assist with transport or another service and they are quick to help" (Joyce, regular user of Personal Transport Services).

cheap gun for glue
I'm re-covering a dash pad and I need a spray gun for the glue. Later I will be doing door panels. Can't seem to find a cheap gun with a big enough tip in the town I live in, and the cheapest one I can find on-line, including the frieght, is this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/230899926135?...84.m1423.l2649 It has a 1.8mm tip. Or does anyone know of a better one for less?
I have a Husky touch up gun that I don't use much, and I was thinking of drilling the 1.4 tip out with a 5/16" drill bit, which would give me a 1.98 mm hole size plus a little for run-out. Is this do-able?
Up in Canada it seems extremely tough to find a lot of the stuff you guys in the States can get easily, without paying through the nose for freight. I managed to buy a little of the proper foam and glue from an independant upholsterer, Chips Custom Upholstery, but if I buy on-line the freight usually doubles the price of a lot of things! :mad:
is there a reason u don't want to look at the rattle can glue ??
I used it on my interior panels and 10 yrs later no prob's at all.
Well, I've been reading Dantwolakes posts and best way is to use right glue and spray it on. He does great work. What I don't want is to get the dash installed and have the vinyl start to lift. Way to much work to get the dash out afterwards! Also, the spray can stuff is kind of pricey if I want to do more later. This way I'll be set up to do it cheaper and better! Also, a while back I did a test panel trying to sculpt some foam underneath and the glue wouldn't hold very well. Can't remember what glue I was using other than it was a rattle can.
I use a Harbor Freight texture ceiling gun. These have three diffent cap sizes. They can be had for less than $20.00 on sale. I have three. One for glue, One for Gel-coat and the other one that I can't get the spray cap off. Still works but. Gel-coat got away from me one warm day last summer. Ring is glued on really good.
Well, unfortunately, we don't have a Harbor Freight in Canada. Canadian Tire used to be the go to place for cheap tools, but they seem to have raised their prices on most things.
My son brought back my little Husky suction gun today. No sign of a tip size on it but a 1/16" drill bit is sloppy and a 5/64 is too tight so seems it would be close to 1.8, so I'll try that first.
Princess Auto is a lot like "Horrible Fright".
If a ceiling texture gun would work - they can be had cheap in lots of places
Rattle can glue will work if it is the right kind 3M #77 is NOT the right kind. 3M makes several hi-strength glues in rattle can. Look ofr hi-strength and hi-temp. Short of that any cheap spray gun will work but don't expect to get a good spray pattern out of it. Most you hope for is a slurry and the gun must be cleaned with Xylol or it will become useless in no time.
Yeah, I know about the rattle can glue. I can get 3M 80 which is supposed to work, but at $33.00 a can, I can do a lot more for the money with a spray gun. Also, according to DanTwoLakes, gun spraying is the best way. I'm going to try the little Husky gun and see how that works. The glue I have is designed to be sprayed, so hopefully it works. Be a few days until I get to it though. Working on cab corners at the moment.
I thought I could use mineral spirits to clean the gun?
lacquer thinner or acetone is what I use.
glue gun
google EZE spray glue gun . you will find them for about $20 to @25 , get the one with the plastic cup . The glue doesnot stick to the plastic so if it hardens in the cup you just grab it with plyers and remove it .
And as for spray cans @ $10 a can and a gallon of Dap @ $22. Its a no brainer .
i've had the same glue gun for 4 years, i've never cleaned it.
it is an old siphon gun that was discarded by a painter friend of mine
i pulled the vent hose off the canister vent and plug it with a pop rivet
Well I googled EZE spray and it cost $30 but the shipping is $38. I wish I could find Dap here. Only thing so far is Jefbond 3000 at $62 plus $25 shipping. Ever heard of Jefbond?
Try "ahturff.com" for the dap glue .
And "your auto trim store" for the gun
Problem is for the glue is that they can't ship it across the border. Has to originate in Canada.

Two women, Myrtle Beach, sexy lifeguards—what more could a girl ask for?
Kimberly doesn't believe she could attract the handsome lifeguard sitting on the stand keeping a keen eye on the beach patrons. Muscular, lean and sexy, surely he's not looking at her, but when a beach accident brings them eye-to-eye, she finds herself lost in his gaze.
Daniel works everyday watching the beach-goers, keeping an eagle eye out for problems along the white sandy shores. Sexy women capture his attention on a daily basis, but no one grabs him like Kimberly. Gorgeous and curvy in all the right places, he can't seem to keep his mind on the business at hand as she tans herself in the hot summer sun.
Can the pain of past relationships be overcome for two strangers to find love at Sunset?

Brimob deployed to secure Depok during Ramadhan
Yuli Tri Suwarni
The Jakarta Post
Depok Police have received the assistance of 50 Mobile Brigade (Brimob) officers from Kelapa Dua headquarters to secure the municipality during the fasting month of Ramadhan.
Chief of operations Comr. Suratno said on Friday that the Brimob personnel would be in charge of patrols to prevent security disturbances.
'The qualification for the Brimob squad is higher than for the regular police. We really need reinforcements this year to deal with the increasing crime rate during the fasting month,' he told The Jakarta Post.
Brimob, a tactical unit of the police, is used primarily as an elite corps for civil emergencies such as riot control. They are also trained for airborne and search-and-rescue operations.
Earlier this week an armed gang stole two cars and cash totaling Rp 9 million (US$900) from a house in Beji district. The house belonged to Rida Fachrudin, head of the primary education division of the Jakarta administration.
Two of the robbers took out firearms and fired six times into the air to deter the house occupants and neighbors from chasing them.
On Friday, Hasan, the financial manager of Qoryatussalam housing complex management reported to the police that a gang robbed him while in Grand Depok City compound and fled with tens of millions of rupiah in cash he was transporting in his Suzuki APV minivan.
The group, he said, burst his tire before the hold-up at around 11 a.m.
Suratno said that the number of police personnel in Depok was insufficient compared to the size of their area of operation and the number of residents.
Currently, the police have 1,600 personnel to provide protection for over 1.7 million residents. The United Nations has set the ideal policing ratio as one officer for every 400 residents.
In a bid to tighten up security in Jakarta during the fasting month and Idul Fitri holidays, the city police have arrested 12 men who were allegedly extorting money from truck drivers along Jl. Cilincing heading to Tanjung Priok Port in North Jakarta.
The police's mobile detective chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Adex Yudiswan said on Friday that the suspects were arrested on Thursday evening in a police operation in the area.
'The suspects usually extorted money from truck drivers along the road from 1 a.m. to 4 p.m., when congestion occurred,' he said.
'The suspects could extort between Rp 30,000 and Rp 100,000 from each driver.'
He added that the police would investigate the suspects' activities to determine their charges. (ian)

After the disappointment of the new Mozart opera productions at this year's Salzburg festival, Willi Decker's staging of Verdi's La Traviata must be counted a triumph. Admittedly, it is based on a gimmick, with no scenery in Wolfgang Gussmann's designs, just a plain semicircular white wall across the expanse of the Grosses Festspielhaus stage, and props limited to a few settees and a large clock. Also, the chorus, women as well as men, are dressed throughout in severe black lounge suits, acting in a block.
Yet that stylisation concentrates attention on the three central characters and their interaction: Violetta the courtesan who sacrifices herself for love, Alfredo the ardent lover and Germont, his father, who in the opera's central duet persuades Violetta to leave her beloved. Decker also has a fourth character, the figure of death who periodically gives Violetta a white camellia, and who finally enters the action in the death scene as Dr Grenvil.
This scheme might not have worked so brilliantly, had the roles of hero and heroine not been taken by singers of such overwhelming magnetism as the Russian soprano Anna Netrebko and the Mexican tenor Rolando Villazon. In operatic terms, these are now the great golden couple, superseding the last golden couple of Gheorghiu and Alagna. If that assessment merely reflects media hype, here is a performance that completely justifies the serious status of both artists.
The beauty of their singing, their musical subtlety and their animation as actors made the duo uniquely compelling. Next to them even Thomas Hampson as Germont seemed a dull dog, with the velvet gone from his voice, while Carlo Rizzi drew ultra-refined playing from the Vienna Philharmonic.
Tchaikovsky's Mazeppa came at the Felsereitschule in an electrifying concert performance with the company of the Kirov Theatre in St Petersburg conducted by Valery Gergiev. Last year, he brought this company to Salzburg similarly to perform Prokofiev's War and Peace; here again, with a strong cast, the musical storytelling was as compelling as in any staged performance. Outstanding was the mezzo Olga Savova, as Ljubov, ostensibly standing in for the better-known Larissa Diadkova, but a star in her own right.
· La Traviata is in rep until Saturday. Box office: 00-43-662-8045 500.

HONEY! The cat just knocked over your flowers!
This is about the one good reason I can think of to have children of reasonable age with a cell phone. (Easier to win over the kids with that than with walkie-talkies lol).. 'Course you gotta explain that will you not be texting them with emoticons that you are clearing the home... But in all seriousness perhaps they are alerted before you are and they have a plan in action to alert you and a plan to retreat.
My 3 dogs will try to eat them..... they only want love and attention from my grandkids when they are staying here (which is a lot). "Any" noise, the dogs are taught to "alert" me, then if I tell them to check it out.... they will show me exactly where the noise came from. If there is someone who shouldn't be there, they'll make that obvious it's someone that doesn't belong and exactly where they are. Plus I'ld then light them up with my flashlight. I also have 'key' lights in specific locations that will put someone in a lit area if they were breaking in, but they wouldn't be able to see me. They would have also set off outside motion lights that will be on (which I can tell) , and outside motion / heat alarms that will sound as well.
I think I have it covered.
That's why I don't have cats.
depends on too many variables on whether or not to even clear the house, vice stay with family and wait. Our home is small, every family member in other rooms. If entry were being made, it'd have to be addressed immediately at that specific point...
Our house is pretty small and we live with room mates not kids. The roomies live on the other side of the house than we do. First thing we do is heck our respective doors, then sweep out through the great room. It is kinda like a trailer house but if we see anyone the whole house knows identify themselves fast and clearly.
One room mate came in late one day and we were in bed and thought everyone was home. I poked out and saw it was them, being a smart ass his GF said she expected someone with a gun, I then reveled my cocked and locked pistol and our other room mate opened his door all the way showing his mos500.
Not the brightest idea poking out first, but house is small enough that every room is pretty well connected.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
As for me, I'd toss on a holster and pistol and do a walk-about. There is almost no way that someone could get into my house without me knowing. If you shift your weight the house itself makes a ton of noise.
1st Sgt and Doodle seem to make the only sense to me. My wife and children don't have guns, and I hear what might be gunshots coming from their room, the time for thinking and tactics was 5 minutes ago.
I am running full throttle to where I heard the sound. If someone is shooting my family they already had one shot. There is a chance they missed and I am praying for that. I am going to take them through the wall and down 2 stories with their carotid in my mouth and it won't matter what caliber hole or how many they perforate me with at the time. We are going for a flight.
For those who aren't charging at the sound of gunfire in a loved one's room you really have to ask yourself - what if the next sound you hear is "Damn- she's still movin'. (Rack)."
(Even if your family is armed and may be the shooters. Even then, I'm coming like a freight train screaming like a banshee... If I die from friendly fire so be it, better than surviving in a good tactical position hoping the dogs figure things out while my family is executed).
So I guess I totally disagree that #3 was a mistake.
Hunker down while family is unarmed on the other side of the house? Not going to happen, even if I have to go all Naked Zulu warrior against a Panzer division.
#3 mistake wasn't charging into the room, but that I was empty handed in the first place.

Over the past century the Oregon coast has undergone several periods of major coastal erosion in which the mean shoreline position moved landward, encroaching on homes built atop dunes and coastal bluffs and sometimes even destroying homes.
Confidence is increasing this morning for a potentially significant rainfall event this weekend across NW Oregon and SW Washington. A strong September jet stream will consolidate across the Pacific Ocean and aim its energy at the Pacific Northwest beginning Friday night and lasting through the weekend.
The tax bill that you will be receiving will show market values in some, but not all areas have decreased, but this may not translate into lower taxes. The primary reason can be found in the provisions of Ballot Measure 50, the constitutional amendment approved by voters in 1997. Property tax bills for the 2013-14 fiscal year will arrive in mailboxes beginning the third week of October.
Clatsop County's only emergency homeless shelter will close in the next 30 days unless there is some help from the community. Helping Hands CEO Alan Evans appeared as a guest on Tom Freel's morning show on KAST 1370 Wednesday morning to urge the public to attend a meeting set for October 10 at the Bob Chisholm Community Center at 6pm.
Oregon U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley told KAST News this morning that there are several major problems with the federal flood insurance program and it's his feeling that the legislation passed last year should be set aside until a complete investigation can be made and better law brought forward.
There was a lot to say about the U.S. Coast Guard at Tuesday's Astoria City Council meeting. Mayor Willis Van Dusen talked about how much pride the city takes in being designated an official Coast Guard City this year and said it's not just about the men and women who serve here saving lives, it's about the families they bring with them.

Oregon Main Street's Annual Conference showcasing best practices for downtown revitalization will take place October 2-4, 2013, in Astoria, Oregon. According to the organization, Astoria exemplifies the conference theme, "Cool Cities: Old Buildings. New Attitudes." In a news release they say " Filled with wonderful historic buildings, excellent shopping and dining opportunities, and a bevy of activities, this community of 10,000 on the Columbia River will be a place of discovery for conference attendees."
The Astoria Fighting Fishermen lost their non-leaugue game Friday night in a contest against the W.F.West Bearcast out of Chehalis, Washington by a final score of 41 to 15. The Fishermen return to league play this coming friday on the road against the Yamhill-Carlton Tigers.
Saturday night Astoria Police responded to reports of tires being slashed. Near the Merrytime Tavern, 995 Marine Drive, they found 6 vehicles with at least one tire slashed. A third party report indicated that a female pushing a shopping cart was responsible.
The National Weather Service started warnings early yesterday about two storm systems heading for the coast with the strongest of the two expected to impact local communities by Sunday afternoon.

Is Justin Bieber Bringing the Saturdays on Tour?
Justin Bieber is single. Mollie King of the Saturdays is single. Maybe that's one of the reasons The Biebs is allegedly luring the ladies to open the next leg of his U.S. tour, which kicks off June 25.
The Biebs' wily manager Scooter Braun saw the girls play a hush hush acoustic set in the U.S., where approximately 40 music biz execs attended.
"Scooter immediately called Justin to tell him he'd found the 'perfect' act to open for him at venues in the U.S. when he returns from the European leg of his Believe tour,' a source told The Daily Star.
An insider who is close to the all-girl band said, "We are very near to sealing a deal that should ensure the Saturdays really crack America where it counts – performing live in huge stadiums. There is even talk of Justin and the Saturdays collaborating on at least one number." We think he should duet with Mollie. Just sayin'.
Bringing a U.K. band on our with him could help him mend his relationship with U.K. fans, since much of his bratty behavior has taken place in Europe. Since the ladies are huge in their native country, The Biebs could make up for his tardiness at the O2 gig by showing support to a U.K. band.

My dad bought me to the US when I was 6 years old, I'm 20 with a 5 month old baby boy about to be 21 in a few weeks, my boyfriend wants to marry me, but I'm scared because I don't know the risk, I want to be a resident here with him & our son.

First apply for DACA and then see with an immigration lawyer if you qualify to adjust status in the IS if marry a USC.
Behar Intl. Counsel 619.234.5962 Kindly be advised that the answer above is only general in nature cannot be construed as legal advice, given that not enough facts are known. It is your responsibility to retain a lawyer to analyze the facts specific to your particular situation in order to give you specific advice.

You should consult an immigration attorney right away who will advise you of your options. Your best bet towards permanent residence is to marry your U.S. citizen boyfriend as long as you are doing it because you love him (not just for a green card). As long as you don't have a criminal history or past immigration fraud, you will likely not be deported for submitting a green card application.
You may also be eligible for Deferred Action (DACA) if you completed high school or a GED. DACA will NOT give you permanent residence, but will give you a work permit and a stay of deportation and you will not have to get married to stay here.
See my article below for more information:

Mr. Murray's response was generated without conducting a full inquiry as would occur during a face to face attorney-client consultation. It is likely that the response above may be made less accurate, or become entirely inaccurate, as you, i.e. the questioner, disclose additional facts that should only be discussed during a private consultation with an attorney.

April 27, 2005 - The news that Mayor Bobby Sutton Jr. faces federal charges of conspiracy and attempted extortion broke midway through an otherwise quiet Friday afternoon April 22.
Morale inside Marana Town Hall sunk fast as the town manager's staff scurried to prepare an official statement in reaction to the news they unofficially knew was coming for some time.
Within minutes, the verdict was in: The town will stand behind its mayor. Sutton will not be asked to resign, said Town Manager Mike Reuwsaat.
"We respect the right of Mr. Sutton as an individual, and as a member of the council, to exercise the right of presumption of innocence until proven otherwise," Reuwsaat said in an interview earlier this week. "The judicial process is going to bring out the facts, and that's what I think decisions need to be made off of."
The FBI had been investigating Sutton and his close acquaintance, Richard "Rick" Westfall, since early 2002, for allegedly conspiring to extort large sums of money and a lucrative contract for Westfall from Houston-based Waste Management, the nation's largest trash hauling firm.
The Marana Town Council held a special meeting April 26 that occurred after the EXPLORER's press time, but council members were expected to meet to authorize an agreement that would allow the town to pay Sutton's legal fees as the case heads to court.
"The judicial process will probably continue in the weeks, months ahead and we expect to have answers to a lot of questions as the proceedings continue," Reuwsaat said, adding that the town will pick up the tab on Sutton's legal bill as long as he isn't found guilty, because town officials say Sutton was acting in his capacity as mayor when the alleged crimes occurred.
"It's a pretty common thing in the corporate world, because look, if he wasn't mayor, he wouldn't be here," said Michael Piccarreta, Sutton's lawyer. "All of his actions were as mayor, not that he was out there doing something for himself."
Town Attorney Frank Cassidy cited the town's ability to pay Sutton's attorney fees in Town Code Section 2-10-2, which reads, "Any town officer and all town officials shall be exonerated, indemnified and held harmless by the town from and against any liability or loss in any manner" arising from his or her service as a town official provided that person acted in good faith and in the best interests of the town.
Roxanne Ziegler, who served on the town council from 1997 to 2001, said she's disappointed but not surprised the town will stand behind Sutton.
"I don't care if he's guilty or not, to fund his legal team with town money just doesn't sound right to me," she said. "If the council is standing behind that, which obviously they will be when they vote, I may ask them to resign."
Ziegler told the EXPLORER in an interview earlier this week that she was planning to ask for Sutton's resignation at the April 26 meeting.
"To me, there's just too much information to say he was responding to a constituent's concerns," she said. "He needs to step down. He needs to let someone else step in. For him to continue to be the mayor is just as arrogant for him to say, 'I didn't do this.'"
Ziegler compared the town's situation to a 1978 mass suicide in Guyana in which more than 900 followers of Jim Jones consumed a grape-flavored cocktail containing cyanide.
"It just depends on how much pressure that Marana says, 'Hey this is our mayor and you've got to stand behind him, man.' You know, take the poison," Ziegler said. "My inclination is they're all going to jump on the bandwagon."
Born and raised in Louisiana, Sutton has lived in Marana for more than a decade. He and his wife, Monica, have three young children. In his free time, Sutton is known to enjoy golfing, coaches Little League baseball and is characterized by many as a good husband, a respected father and a community-focused leader.
First elected to the council in 1995, Sutton was vice mayor before becoming Marana's first directly elected mayor in 1999. He works as an advertising executive in sales with Qwest Dex Yellow Pages.
Town officials describe Sutton as a civic leader of Marana who is committed to the town's citizens.
"It's saddening because Bobby has done so much for the community," said Jim DeGrood, executive assistant to the town manager, who described his feelings on the indictment as "shocked and disappointed."
In truth, Sutton has been a leader in many
arenas - not just in Marana, but the larger regional community.
Sutton has served on the Breast and Prostate Cancer Awareness Committees, the Greater Tucson Economic Council, the Domestic Violence Commission and the Marana Youth Fund.
He also represents the town as a regional leader in the Pima Association of Governments, where he serves as vice chairman of PAG's regional council and the Regional Transportation Authority.
Gary Hayes, PAG's executive director, said he was shocked and surprised to hear news of charges against Sutton, who he said has been a good leader and will continue to be unless he's proven guilty.
"I'm a great believer in innocent until proven guilty and Bobby is a young guy, a young mayor, who has impressed me since day one," Hayes said. "Right now, he is what he is, which is one of the leaders of the region and he is the vice chair of both sitting organizations. Obviously, he was deemed by his counterparts as being a leader of the community. By that, I mean the regional community, not just Marana."
The RTA is aggressively putting together a set of recommendations to bring to voters in spring 2006, which will ask them to decide whether to pass a list of major transportation improvement projects and a half-cent sales tax that will be used to pay for them.
Sutton has participated in a number of public forums with Hayes, giving presentations to the region's citizens and business leaders. The RTA board has impaneled a 35-member citizens committee, including many representatives from the Northwest, and a technical committee of 22 members.
"We're on a very fast track," Hayes said. "Bobby Sutton is one of the handful of young elected leaders of this community and constitutes a good portion of this community's future. I'm a big fan and supporter of Bobby Sutton, there's no question about it."
Sutton did not return several phone calls from the EXPLORER seeking comment, but offered a written statement April 22, which stated he was confident he will be found not guilty and disappointed that the federal government has chosen to bring charges.
Council members did not return several phone calls from the EXPLORER seeking comment. Council members Tim Escobedo and Ed Honea declined to comment. Escobedo said he had been instructed to refer all comments to town staff.
One Marana employee, speaking on condition of anonymity because she was scared she might lose her job, said she felt threatened by an e-mail sent from the town manager's office that implied town employees would be reprimanded for speaking unfavorably of the mayor.
"There must be some kind of a hidden mantra that says, 'Anybody who works for the town of Marana, no matter what we're faced with, you will always sing our praises,'" Ziegler said.
Former Marana Mayor Ora Harn said she was concerned Sutton's indictment, whether he's guilty or not, could affect the business of the town.
"I certainly am in prayer for the mayor and our community as these are very serious accusations," Harn said. "I am very concerned for the mayor and the impact this could have on Marana."
Despite the hanging cloud, Reuwsaat said the town will continue with business as usual.
"Clearly the investigation of Mr. Sutton is separate from the daily operations of the town of Marana. Work is still going on," he said. "The mayor and the council and staff are still committed to continuing to implement the highest levels of service, programs and projects for Marana residents and visitors.
"Mayor Sutton has been an integral part of this commitment and that commitment remains unchanged. We have set a high bar and we're going to continue to work toward that for our residents for a high quality of life."
In a written statement, Reuwsaat offered his understanding of the circumstances that led to Sutton's indictment, saying that Westfall asked Sutton to attend a meeting with Waste Management in 2002 where Westfall alleged its subcontractors were intentionally hauling trash dangerously overweight, risking the safety of the traveling public.
"The Mayor has assured the town that he participated in additional meetings with Waste Management in his capacity as Mayor to protect the rights of Mr. Westfall as a whistleblower and the safety of the traveling public," Reuwsaat's statement reads. "The town is not aware of any evidence that the Mayor ever demanded or received payment or anything of value for participating in the meetings."
The indictment shows transcripts of a phone conversation in which Sutton gave a Waste Management employee a bank account number to make an alleged money transfer for Westfall.
When the EXPLORER reported on the FBI investigation last year, Sutton claimed Waste Management was retaliating against him and Westfall, commenting, "I think this is a clear matter of big business trying to hurt a whistle blower on something that they were doing wrong and they're trying to tie me up in that."
Tucson City Manager Mike Hein, who worked as Marana's town manager at the time of the alleged extortion, said he was surprised by the indictment. He was one of several Marana employees interviewed by the FBI during the course of the investigation, and thought the issue had died and gone away.
"I don't think anybody's accusing the town as an organization or any of its employees of doing anything wrong, but it's not a comfortable thing to watch," he said.
Neither Sutton nor Westfall ever brought any issues regarding Waste Management to his attention before the FBI got involved, Hein said.
"That was the surprising thing, clearly myself, and I assume a lot of other people with the town, had become aware of it after the FBI interviewed us and you start asking questions," he said.
Hein said he considered Sutton a good boss and said the mayor never asked him to do anything inappropriate. But after reading the indictment, he said, it does tell a different story than what he's been hearing, but the truth will have to be sorted out in court.
"I'm sure, in the end, a lot of answers will have to be provided and I trust those answers will be forthcoming, but I was genuinely surprised," he said. "I think Bobby's going to have to make a lot of tough decisions. I think a lot of people besides myself are waiting to see how Bobby reacts in what he says."
Meanwhile, others in the greater Tucson area also are waiting to hear more details of the case.
Rep. Jonathan Paton, R-Dist. 30 in Tucson, declared the case a stain on Southern Arizona this past weekend, telling reporters he was going to call the Auditor General's office to go over Marana's books. He changed his tune after hearing Marana is already audited on a regular basis.
"Everyone's told me that they felt like, whatever is going on, it has nothing to do with the town itself and that's when I said, 'Well, I'll look at what the case looks like before I do anything else,'" Paton said, adding that Sutton is innocent until proven guilty.
Court records indicate Sutton has a longstanding personal friendship with Westfall, a trucking contractor and a resident of Marana known to be involved in many local charities.
Commenting on that relationship, Ziegler cited a quote from George Washington: "Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation. For it is better to be alone than in bad company."
Ziegler echoed that quote with her own statements, suggesting Sutton should have steered clear of getting involved with Westfall and Waste Management.
"It doesn't make him a bad father or a bad coach - he's just made what looks like one hell of a bad, bad decision," she said. "Bobby should have dumped this guy a long time ago and what a shame."

Photobomb Series Captures A Mashup Of Daily News And Everyday People [Pics]
An anonymous photographer has captured a series of pictures showing fellow commuters mixed with funny or famous faces.
An anonymous photographer has created a series of photobombs that they took on their way to work, which depict fellow commuters as mashups of the daily news and everyday life. To create these veritable masterpieces, the artist folded their newspaper under an image of a famous person or a funny face and held it up in front of unsuspecting people on the train or waiting at the station. This creates humourous mash-ups where the newspaper image appears joined to the person.
The photographer has used images of animals, movie characters, sports stars, celebrities, and royal figures in the series, including Batman, Barack Obama, David Beckham, William Shakespeare, and the Queen.
ShortList Magazine reports that the anonymous photographer emails the pictures to colleagues in their office. Click through to see a selection of the newspaper photobombs:

When I backed up it was never any "migrate" used. All I needed to do was to copy the user files back to the proper directory and then fire up the Palm Desktop software.
I also never reinstalled "the data". Again this old system was pretty simple. Just copy the files back to the folders as before.
I must reinstall all of my Palm data to my Palm desktop module. The data was backed up on Carbonite and reinstalled. However the files are ABA and DAT type and will not migrate to the Palm desktop.
I cannot HotSync the handheld because there is an reoccuring error which will not permit this action. I will hard reset the hand and then sync it with the desk top the data for which hopefully will be reinstalled. Can anyone offer help in resintsalling the data to the desk top?

Manage music on Android without iTunes
Tools that enable Android devices to access the same music as any iOS device especially if it is DRM-free
The world of Android phones has one significant difference from that of iOS phones: the lack of a single desktop-to-phone connecting application.
As much as the iTunes-or-else interface between iOS devices and a PC or Mac is derided, there is something to be said for being able to connect with PC and Mac devices via a single, known application. In Android-land, there is little uniformity, though some good apps exist, usually in the form of apps that sync with Google services, which in turn, can be accessed from your PC.
In that respect, Android has been able to go one better than iOS. The ability to access music and files from any computer with a browser -- including your Android phone -- has been very useful. But now, with the release of iOS 5 and the capabilities of iCloud matching some of Google's services, that advantage has been equalized somewhat.
Music files
The one universal constant for content syncing has to be music. More than any other file type, these are the files that need to be managed the most with any portable device.
There are two ways of getting music files to your Android device. There's the manual way, where you connect the phone to the PC of your choice (Windows, Mac, or Linux) and treat the Android device and its SD card as a removable drive. Then it's simply a matter of copying files over to your phone via your favorite file manager.
This is certainly an effective way, but it's rather inelegant. Not to mention that moving music files around by their filenames alone might not accurately reflect what tracks are getting moved and copied.
A better solution, though, is to use a music management app to sync with music on your computer, in much the same way iTunes users do with their iOS devices. And there happens to be quite a few options for audiophiles to use.
doubleTwist is a highly rated application that enables users to sync with iTunes music, podcasts, and videos.
Installing doubleTwist was easy on the Android device as well as the Windows and OS X versions. (There is no Linux version to date.
The free version of doubleTwist enables full synchronization of as much music that will fit on your phone, via a wired USB connection. If you want over-the-air synchronization, you will need to pay an additional $4.99 to obtain the AirSync add-on for doubleTwist.
I was pretty impressed with the ease-of-use in doubleTwist. Upon connecting my Android 2.2 phone to both my Windows and Mac devices, and setting the phone to "Mount as disk drive," I started doubleTwist and the syncing began. One thing to note: which I discovered a little late: be sure you select the appropriate storage space into which to sync. I selected the smaller SD card without paying attention and ended up filling the little thing up quickly.
A quick re-sync with the main storage on board the phone and deleting the files out on the SD card took care of this problem, but it did eat up some extra time.
doubleTwist tries very hard to be an iTunes replacement, and for the most part it seems to work. I had no issues with music purchased on iTunes playing on the Android doubleTwist client, and these were most definitely DRMed m4a files I keep around for just such tests.
The desktop app itself is very iTunes-like with a sidebar for navigation that includes (besides links to the device itself) a playlist creation tool -- even a link to the primary Android Market.
For purchasing music, there's an in-app link to the Amazon MP3 music store, which provides a very good selection of DRM-free music for purchase and consumption.
There are limitations, though. For example, you're not going to get videos on your Android through the Amazon store or anything you might have in your iTunes collection. Any videos you pull in will have to come from your on-board Android camera or be DRM-free within iTunes.
Also, and this is more of a nuisance than one would expect, there's really no Album view within doubleTwist's desktop client. You can sort by album title, of course, and you can create playlists to your heart's content, but it would be great to just tap an album cover and have that album kick off, as you can on the device.
Another great music synchronization app is TuneSync. TuneSync is a freemium app for Windows and Mac users that also taps into iTunes and syncs content over to your Android device. The difference between it and doubleTwist is transparency. Once installed as a server on your Windows/OS X PC and a client on your Android phone, this application syncs music files without any fanfare or user intervention.
Music files and playlists, for instance, are dropped neatly into your Android device as they're added to your iTunes library, where they can be played by the native Android music player.
Now, as you might imagine, there are going to be problems with this if you have protected DRM files, so I recommend TuneSync only for users who have DRM-free music. Which you have, right?
If you have MP3 or Ogg audio files, though, you are going to like TuneSync a lot. The over-the-air syncing takes place every 12 hours, without intervention, though you can start the sync at any time. This is something you will need to pay for, too. The free version only syncs 20 songs from your iTunes library. The premium version is $5.99--a dollar more than the AirSync add-on for doubleTwist.
It's a bit hard to compare doubleTwist and TuneSync, since their interfaces are so different (i.e., doubleTwist actually has an interface and TuneSync doesn't). If you like the set-it-and-forget-it idea of music synchronization, I would recommend spending the extra buck on TuneSync. If you are looking for a straight-up iTunes replacement, look no further than doubleTwist. Even without AirSync, it's a nice app to have for your Android phone.
Linux users should not feel left out of the Android music crowd. Banshee, an excellent music player for the Linux desktop, has integrated Android support.
You wouldn't think that this would be such a big deal, given that Android is based on Linux and desktop Linux well, is Linux, but until recently there was not a big push to get music management working. Banshee used to require a special hidden file pushed to the Android drive in order for it to recognize the music files on that drive. No longer: now it's just plug and play.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention one very viable music alternative for Android phones: streaming services such as Rhapsody.
With a monthly subscription, I have found Rhapsody and similar services to be indispensable on Android phones. That's because these services can be accessed on any device (yes, even iOS devices), so once I set up my playlists on one device, the playlist is available on all the others. This is the promise of iCloud, long reached by Android users.
While it is true I don't "own" the music, as long as I have connectivity, then I can access the music just as if I did own it. There's really no difference. For the few songs I want to have on the device no matter what the connection strength is, there is the option (on Rhapsody) to simply buy the songs and download them directly to my device.
Music lovers will appreciate any of the options presented here. While there are vast differences in how they work, in truth they can enable your Android device to have access to the same music as any iOS device -- especially if it is DRM-free. For those encumbered with Apple's DRM-laden songs, you may want to try doubleTwist for now. Or get DRM-free versions of the songs.
Android connectivity to PC-like platforms is not as critical as it once was for iOS devices, given the independence of the Android platform's apps. But it's nice to know it's there if you need it.

- - Progressing from groomers to the GLADES...tips? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tips-tricks-snowboard-coaching/135458-progressing-groomers-glades-tips.html)
How To: From the GROOMERS to the GLADES...
any tips? i feel pretty confident on marked trails. went into some glades with my buddies at Stowe and felt COMPLETELY lost. fell a bunch, went super slow, sliding my way down.
was scary and a huge workout. other than feeling comfortable with turns, looking BETWEEN the trees and taking your time, anything else to learn?
also are there easier glades i should start with? not sure who's familiar with Stowe but we hit some glades at the top of upper nosedive. the guys i were with remarked that this section of glades was particularly hairy.
for those not familiar w/ the glades i'm speaking of...these are them (not my video). skip to around 02:00
Nosedive Glades - YouTube
slow down
lower your hips (this will make you tired quicker)
learn to drive all 4 contact points with quads, toes, boot tongues, and highbacks.
successfully riding trees is all about technique.
front foot control.
man that looks nasty. I would say take it slow and be prepared for the terrain.
20 Attachment(s)
I remember in the mid 80s when I was like 14 going into what we thought was the glades at Stowe. I crashed and suddenly dropped like 5 feet down where there was snow covering a running ravine. It was like quicksand, the more I struggled to claw my way out the more I fell down and it was about 3:30 in Feb so the sun was going down. Took probably 15 minutes to get out. Good times now, but I remember really starting to freak out.
I'm learning the same thing at Stowe, all my friends love the glades but they kinda freak me out so I go slow.
To get better I've been riding moguls to get the motion down, and that has helped a lot. The trick is to kind of "rudder" the tail of your board and use turning to slow down, because going too fast in the woods is super dangerous.
I would suggest trying the glades off of Toll Rd. and Sterling before going in the steeper stuff. When you're going down toll rd off of Sunrise, look to your left as you descend. Try and spot some tracks from other people. You can drop down in these and they're more mellow than Nosedive.
Go to Jay Peak. They have the best glades in the east ranging from easy to gnarly.
Go to the East Coast Meet at Jay Peak next year at the end of Feb and ride with people better than you. You'll will learn.
What makes glades on the east coast difficult is they they are far more moguled than in the west. Get your hop turns and mogul technique down and your tree riding will improve. Keep your body compressed and low and plan your turns so that you're setting your edge on the soft tops not the icy rutted backsides. When you get tired the tendency is for the front leg to lock up dead straight. Do back-squats and lunges and wall squats and box jumps to prep and you can hold that off longer. When your legs are smoked, stop and rest or pay the price with a broken femur as some people on this forum can attest. Tree > Femur.
Stay in the driver seat. Attack! Don't lean uphill.
I was at stowe maybe a month ago, in the same glades. It felt pretty steep even compared to some of the jay peak glades ive been in. You can clearly tell from the footage as well. Uhm, having fresh snow in the glades helps a lot. Riding them late afternoon with them trophed/rutted out by other riders/skiiers will make things very difficult, since that will force you to follow a path carved out by others, not to mention being unenjoyable. Stowe definitely has glade runs that are tamer than this, personally, I wouldn't be hitting anything this advance til I got the basics down.
Speed checking is a bitch when you're in the trees, so if you can't slow down find your line and charge it. Reset and go again. Obviously, if it was your first run you can't expect much out of it. Which is why it is important to go back and repeat it over and over again, if possible.

Following several months of surveillance work, officers from HM Customs National Investigation Service pounced at the Thurrock service station on the M25 in Essex. NIS officers say that because Britain was so quiet, as the nation watched the emotional funeral service of the princess, it was difficult for them to carry out a surveillance operation. The drugs, weighing three quarters of a ton, are thought to have been imported from Holland. A further four people were arrested in Middlesex where a further pounds 1m of drugs was found. Four people have been charged with drug smuggling, including a Dutch national. Two others, including a German man, are still being questioned. The four are due to appear before Uxbridge magistrates' court today.
