i did it 10 yes ago, it was easy
not really worth it to waste a whole day travelling if you are there less than 10 days
Jun 19, 2014, 01:28 PM #13
Thanks for the responses. I've been all over Costa Rica in the last 10 years. In fact, my avatar pic is at Boca on a glory day. That was the longest wave of my life!
Anyhow, Pavones has been on my bucket list for way too long. Not too interested in surfing random, mostly closed-out beachbreak set-ups like Hermosa. Not putting down that stretch of beach, I do love that area.
Butt pic? Ha, it's not Friday!!

i got it overhead a few years ago and as crowded as it is, its totally worth it when its firing. Faster than Boca and just as long if not longer with barrel sections possible. The "locals" have it wired so if you want to take off at the point it will be competitive. Otherwise find another peak and wait for someone to fall or kick out and get a smaller wave. Its the most beautiful place i've been to there so that is an incentive if it goes flat.
You have to get on a strange water taxi to cross a river and go on some very windy dirt roads for many miles but its really not that bad, just long.

Pavones is always dicey, but if you go down there and it is smallish and crowded, go south a bit more to Punta Banca, it is by the old abandoned smugglers airstrip about 3K south of the rivermouth. It get lots bigger than Pavones, but is a gnarly paddle and the left takes you way north to a rocky exit. Not nearly as clean or peeling as Pavones, but a really fun alternative if you're already down there and it's not firing. Dominical is a great place to chill and surf waiting for the right swell angle to hit Pavones, and The Point just south of Dominical's main beach is much better, and doesn't close out on big swells. A bit north of Dominical is Esterillos Oueso(West), which is a very fun and forgiving set up. The road from Dominical to Pavones is long and crappy, but if it is well overhead, the drive will be soooooooo worth it. Oh.....tomorrow is FRIDAY! Let's see some love!

I guess my main concern is the flooding I've heard about. Heard tales about over-the-tires deep water and the road being washed out for weeks. I also heard that claim is a bunch of BS. I sure hope the latter is true! Guess I'll find out
Your right Sisurfdogg, Dominical area is great. That was actually the first place I surfed in CR. That place can be brutal on bigger swells! Had my bikini bottom ripped off there. Never found it. Needless to say, the walk back to the house I was staying at was interesting.

It's a cool scene. Last time I was there there is a guy who owns a bar called the Manta Ray, and he shoots videos of everyone from the vantage point of the cantina about half way through the wave. So everyone goes to the bar at night to watch the show. We accidentally drove into Panama, it's so close, after surfing Punta Banca, which is a little south of Pavones. The locals are cool, but they will hustle you if you let them. If you have a good sense of humor and some respect, you'll get lots and lots of really great waves. Do the indo board for about a half hour a day, or hit your Carver, 'cause you'll need the legs.

How is this different or better than Multifl0w? multifl0w - an iPhone multitasking interface
Does live view then actually keep apps running like backgrounder does, or only one app (most recently used)?
And is Backgrounder Beta stable? Been asking this question for weeks without any reply unfortunately.
I'd like to be able to download through ProTube or other downloading apps while using other apps.
If CardSwitcher 2.0 can do this, I'm sold! Else, is Backgrounder Beta stable and compatible with CardSwitcher? Any help appreciated.
I'm just wondering when this was released because I def have the bigboss repo and there is NO card switcher 2.0. It's still version 1.99.65 or whatever. Has this not yet been released in Cydia?
CardSwitcher shows a live view of an application which is running. Once iOS has suspended the app then it isn't displaying anything so CardSwitcher shows an image of just before it was suspended.
multifl0w - an iPhone multitasking interface and the description in cydia which mentions iOS 4 but not until you get to the changelog - as others have confirmed it does work with iOS5 so the main difference between the apps appears to be the price...Just released is version 1.9.9-65 (dubbed 2.0) with a major overhaul and in fact, not even one line of identical code to the previous version as it has been rewritten completely from scratch
Why does it show terrn comments at the top but only one shows...
.yeah i like multiflow... Only thing would be letting it hook the apps with zypher or even multitouch gestures n iPad. I hate HAVING to use the home button to be able to use multiflow when icon close apps and switch apps with a number of other options.

This is the kit that enables young mechanics and auto enthusiasts to build and display a working 1/10 scale model of a four-cylinder internal combustion engine. The kit has over 100 ABS plastic parts that fit seamlessly together using the included tools. The definitive auto repair reference since 1965, a Haynes Manual guides construction with complete, step-by-step instructions and vivid, clearly printed diagrams. A transparent cylinder block enables young mechanics to see how the connected parts work in concert to power a vehicle. Lubricated with small applications of vegetable oil, the engine operates using a small battery-powered electric motor (requires two AA batteries) which makes an ignition sound while firing the spark plugs; the valve sequence cycles, the pistons move, the shaft rotates, and the timing belt moves with the radiator fan belt. Each cylinder illuminates during the detonation cycle. Ages 12 and up. 8 1/4" H x 10 1/2" W x 5" H. (2 1/4 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Internal Combustion Engine Kit comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Fun -- had to add a screw to make it run
By Ms.CD
from Minneapolis,MN
Everything ran fine until the end -- belts were dragging making it difficult for the engine gear to turn the flywheel. We had to take it apart and put it back together at least twice before belts would run smoothly. Plus, we had to add a screw at the end so that the flywheel and the gear on the motor would meet up and run properly -- we need to "hold up the engine".I would probably recommend this type of product but I would look to a different brand first.

Stopped working
By Steve the Dad
from Hopkinton, MA
We had gotten it totally assembled. The lights, motor, and sound were working briefly, then we weren't able to get the divice to work after that. It was educational to assemble even though one section of the directions could have been a little more specific.

Great idea poor craftsmanship
By Julie
from Alberta, Canada
Product is a great idea and a good learning tool. Unfortunately instructions were not clear. For example, it states to oil bearings, but when looking on the parts list there are no bearings listed. The gears do not align properly which causes them to grind when turning. The outside casing has very tiny screws holding the parts together which shear off when tightened (were not over tightened). The motor sticks out too far at the end of the casing and is again held on by very tiny screws which are not strong enough to keep the motor tight to the frame causing more grinding noises. These tiny screws also have broken off with the weight of the motor. For the price of this model it has been a great disappointment.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: We apologize for your experience with the instructions and assembly of the internal combustion engine kit. Please contact us at 1-800-321-1484 if you would like to return or exchange or we can be of assistance with the assembly or parts.

REDLANDS - When her Redlands East Valley High peers are hitting Disneyland or the beach during spring break, Deeksha Goyal will be 2,600 miles away, in Washington, D.C.
"I'm supposed to meet the president, senators, Supreme Court," the 17-year-old senior said. "We're supposed to watch the government in action."
Deeksha is one of two California high school students selected to participate in the U.S. Senate Youth Program, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said. (Two other students were chosen as alternates.)
"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the government in action," she said.
The 50-year-old program brings together students from around the country to hear policy addresses by government officials including senators, cabinet members, members of the departments of State and Defense, directors of other federal agencies, and meet a Supreme Court justice.
All transportation, hotel and meal expenses are provided by the Hearst Foundations and each delegate receives a $5,000 college scholarship for undergraduate studies - along with encouragement to study history and political science.
Deeksha is one of two California students to attend the event, along with two alternates. The participants were chosen for their involvement in government, academic achievements and essays.
Deeksha wrote about the consequences of learning about politics via sound bites, her City Council experiences and ways government should be made more transparent.
"I was (also) talking about how Election Day registration is better" for improving voter participation "than beforehand."
Unlike most Americans, Deeksha is actually hoping to see some congressional gridlock when she visits D.C. in March.
She's heard of filibustering, but has a hard time wrapping her mind around the idea of a legislator just talking and talking and talking in order to wear down the opposition.
"I want to see it in action," she said
This isn't Deeksha's first time seeing the working of government up close and personal. She's the student representative on the Redlands Traffic and Parking Commission, which advises the City Council.
But that's just one of 10 things she does with her spare time. She participates in so many activities, she has trouble recalling them all.
She's the captain of the school's badminton team, formerly played varsity tennis at the school, works at a UC Riverside laboratory doing research, studies Bharatanatyam Indian classical dance, teaches beginning Hindi to children on Sundays, is the president of her school's COMPACT career club and is the individual events captain for the school's speech and debate team.
"It's fair to say I don't know what I want to do," she said, "so I'm exploring everything."
Deeksha is applying to multiple University of California campuses and private schools with an eye toward majoring in biomedical engineering - "it has to do with prosthetics" - with either a minor or a double major in government or political science.
"I could do neuroscience," she said, "but the classes in biomedical engineering are more interesting."
This will be her third visit to the nation's capital.

Since I upgraded my camera to a Canon 60D this summer, I needed to get a new flash for it. The one I had previously isn't compatible with this camera. I am not a fan of the built in flash so I had to find a solution for situations when natural light isn't an option. I was excited to try out the Fully Loaded Pro Flash Kit for Canon Digital SLR Cameras.
This kit comes with just about anything you might need for your flash and more!! The flash itself is very powerful, focuses fast and can be tilted and swiveled for maximum flexibility. (A bit of warning? Be sure to not look directly into the flash when testing. Just take my word for it). The LCD display provides valuable exposure information. The diffuser softens shadows and eliminates unpleasant red-eye. The Off-Camera Shoe Cord enables off-camera flash photographyI'm a big fan of rechargeable batteries, especially since so many things these days use batteries- I hate throwing them away!! The charger fits nicely in my camera bag and I can feel confident wherever I go that I can get my batteries recharged quickly. Having a blower and cleaning kit with your camera (any camera!) and other related equipment is one of those things that is an absolute must. I'd hate to be in the middle of some great photos only to realize I have dust on my lens filter and all my shots will be ruined.Pro Flash Kit for Canon Digital SLR Cameras Includes:
Zeikos Professional Digital SLR Camera Flash for Canon EOS w/LCD<image001.jpg>AA Rapid Multivoltage AC/DC Charger (100-240v) with 4 3100mah AA Batteries
Professional Deluxe Soft Box Diffuser
Off-Camera Shoe Cord AF TTL (Canon)
Professional Wrist Grip Strap for digital & SLR cameras (Security without a large, cumbersome strap!!)
Professional Blower – Dust Removal system
3pc. Lens Cleaning Kit
BuyDig.com has several other Canon Flashes available as well. I think that my new Zeikos flash performs as well as the comparable Canon flash at a fraction of the price- as an amateur photographer, I don't have the money to spend hundreds of dollars on a lens. I feel that kids like this offer an excellent option with good quality for those of us who aren't professionals but want to be able to use the full range of features our cameras offer. I'm excited to continue checking "playing" with my new flash and accessories!

Marist Brothers are meant to tell the truth.
That's why when John Chute, also known as Brother Kostka, brushed aside a serious allegation of child sexual assault, his superior believed him.
Former headmaster of Canberra's Marist College, Terence Heinrich, approached Chute after the father of a student complained the teacher had "interfered" with his son.
When Chute said the allegation was just a misunderstanding, Br Heinrich believed him.
"That's the way we should be, that's the way we are - to be true and honest," Br Heinrich told a royal commission on Friday of the Marist Brothers order.
It has emerged that during Chute's time at the school from 1976 to 1993 he allegedly abused 39 boys, at least nine of them during Br Heinrich's five years as principal from 1983.
The headmaster admitted he was "ill-equipped" to respond to the parent's complaint.
"The failure in all of this began with me," Brother Heinrich said.
He felt uncomfortable hearing the complaint and did not ask for more details.
It later emerged the boy was abused repeatedly in 1986 during film nights at the school when Chute put his hands down the student's underwear and fondled him.
Despite Chute's denial, Br Heinrich took the matter to the Sydney-based provincial, Alexis Turton, after which he heard noting more.
"It wasn't the done thing to question a superior."
A subsequent headmaster was told nothing of concerns surrounding Chute or the reason for his removal from the school in 1993.
The royal commission, currently sitting in Canberra, is looking at whether institutions responded adequately to reports of child sexual abuse.
In 2008 Chute was convicted of 19 child sex charges and jailed.
He has since been released.
The hearing is also considering the case of former brother Gregory Sutton.
The pair worked at schools in NSW, the ACT and Queensland during their careers which spanned a period from the 1950s to the 1990s.
In 1996 Sutton pleaded guilty to 67 charges of child sexual abuse and was jailed until 2008.
The hearing continues on Monday.

Florida Georgia Line celebrating a big 2013
Listen to Florida Georgia Line on iHeartRadio
Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard say 2013 has been "so crazy and awesome" for the duo that it's hard to pinpoint any one thing as a big accomplishment for the year. But he and Brian Kelley can point to a number of highlights.
Tyler tells "CMT Top 20 Countdown" working with Nelly was "a big thing" for them. Their collaborative remix of "Cruise" sent the 2012 hit back to the top of the charts for several weeks. Hubbard adds that collaborating with the rapper was "definitely a huge honor and really cool and a great experience."
And Kelley says another collaboration was very meaningful to them. He says "being on the 'Alabama and Friends' tribute album was huge." Brian explains that they're "huge Alabama fans," so he's "very proud" that he was a part of that.
Florida Georgia Line is among this year's CMT Artists of the Year. The duo will celebrate that accomplishment on the "CMT Artists of the Year" special, airing live on CMT on Tuesday.

A man and a 3-year-old child were wounded Friday in a gang-related shooting in Downey, a sheriff's official said.
The gunfire erupted around 5:15 p.m. near Telegraph Road and Paramount Boulevard, said Lt. Joe Mendoza of the Pico Rivera sheriff's station.
The toddler was shot in the back, Mendoza said, but condition reports were not immediately available for either unidentified victim.
One suspect was detained, Mendoza said. Sheriff's deputies were assisting Downey police in closing off the area just before 5:30 p.m., indicating that other suspects may still be at large.

I always have fun with these templates and with so many to choose from there is always one to fit your need! With the holidays approaching I am always trying to find little gift boxes and bags to tuck treats inside.
The first template I worked with was the framed box template. This template comes with three options: rectangle, heart or star cut out in the front. Here I eliminated the inner flap and added a clear sheet for displaying the little treats I tucked away inside. Additional supplies include MelJen's Design this week's freebie image and Whimsie Doodles tag from this month's release.Perfect size for three tubes of glitter, chapstick or a handmade ornament.
I worked with this template last week and just love the size for little party favors. If you are having a holiday get together this year and looking for favors...an ornament is always a great gift from the heart!
This button wreath ornament was created by using instructions over at Martha Stewart. There are little bells attached to the ribbon, but they are currently hiding :) More holiday gift ideas to come as I am having fun creating this year. I have dedicated two days each week to making gifts and my holiday cards. Can't wait to share them with you!
Have a great hop, stay tuned for the winners and don't forget to join in the fun and leave a comment here!

COLUMBIA, SC -- The state Senate's Judiciary Committee has favorably reported out a law that would expand South Carolina's longtime ban on video poker games to include sweepstakes games. The measure now goes to the full Senate for consideration. | SEE STORY ON WIS-TV
Over the past year, the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has been seizing an average 100 sweepstakes videogames a month. State Attorney General Alan Wilson has testified that he believes sweepstakes games are illegal video pokers.
However, several local judges have ruled in favor of the games. One operator here sued Wilson and SLED last fall, asserting that the enforcement campaign against sweeps games violates the constitution's free speech protections. | SEE STORY
Another constitutional suit over sweepstakes videogames was filed last summer by an operator in Sumter. | SEE STORY
At midnight on July 1, 2000, a law took effect that outlawed the operation, ownership and possession of video poker machines in the state. Video poker operations used to generate $2 billion a year.

Do you dual boot between Windows and BackTrack or boot your Windows system from a BackTrack DVD/USB system, and wonder how you can access the files from your Windows system on BackTrack?
Do you have a large wordlist on a removable media, and are not able to work out how to use that wordlist in BackTrack?
If you do then you need to learn to mount partitions in BackTrack! And that is exactly what this brief FAQ entry will discuss.
Now before I proceed I will note that this FAQ entry is NOT intended to be a detailed tutorial on mounting volumes in Linux. There are many other resources on the Internet better suited for that purpose, and the intention of the BackTrack forum is not to focus on discussing basic Linux tasks.
That being said, threads detailing problems with mounting volumes appear here often enough that a brief post on the topic may be useful to some members. Given that this post is covering basic Linux skills however, if you have any issues with the process listed here Id encourage you to search the Internet for more information on the topic before asking any questions here on the forum. There is enough information out there on this particular issue that any but the most obscure of mounting problems should be able to be solved by you, using existing resources, before you need to raise the issue here.
Now lets get started...
Finding the device name of the partition you want to mount
The first step to mounting a partition in a Linux system is finding its device name. Devices in linux are represented by files under the /dev directory in the filesystem, and partitions are usually represented as subordinate devices of a volume device. As an example, the hard disk represented by device /dev/hda may have one or more partitions underneath it named /dev/hda1 (partition 1) and /dev/hda2 (partition 2).
Different types of volume devices will also use different device naming conventions. Older style IDE hard drives are usually name /dev/hd[X] where X is a letter from a-z representing the order in which the drives were detected by the system, e.g. /dev/hda for the first hard drive, /dev/hdb for the second and so on. SCSI, SATA and USB drives and some newer IDE drives are usually represented by devices named /dev/sda, /dev/sdb and so on. CD/DVD drives can be represented by a number of different names, such as /dev/scd0, /dev/cd, /dev/cd3, /dev/dvd3, or even /dev/hd[X], depending on whether the drive is SCSI or IDE, its age, etc. Knowing these details will help you in identifying the correct device to mount.
Two ways in which you can find which partitions are recognised by your BackTrack system as well as their device names are to use the fdisk command and to read the contents of the /proc/partitions virtual file.
The examples below show the output from these commands when run from BackTrack 4 Final on a Windows Xp SP2 virtual machine.
Here I can see that my BackTrack system recognises a NTFS partition at device /dev/hda1. That is my Windows "C: drive".
Code:root@bt:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 4294 MB, 4294967296 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 522 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x4f1f4f1e Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 521 4184901 7 HPFS/NTFS
Here I can see that my BackTrack system recognises a number of devices as containing partitions, but the only one that looks to match the partition naming convention discussed above is hda1.
Based on the output from these commands, /dev/hda1 looks to be the device I need to mount.Code:root@bt:~# cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 7 0 1502416 loop0 3 0 4194304 hda 3 1 4184901 hda1
Creating a Mount Point and Mounting the Volume
Before we can actually access the files on the partition, we need to tell our BackTrack system that it needs to treat the given device as a device containing a file system, and to do this we need to integrate it into the existing filesystem. A Linux filesystem organises all files under a parent root "/" directory, and all filesystems need to be placed somewhere under this structure to be accessed, using a process called mounting.
We can do this by creating a mount point (really just a directory in the file system), and mounting the device there.
Lets create a mount point using the mkdir command. Convention has us create a directory using the same name as the device under either the /mnt or /media directories, but you can put this elsewhere if you choose.
Code:root@bt:~# mkdir /media/hda1
Now we mount the volume. The mount command will usually try and autodetect the filesystem to use, but if it cant you can specify one using the -t switch.
Code:root@bt:~# mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1
Now we can access files on the volume via our mount point /media/hda1
Code:root@bt:~# ls /media/hda1 AntDSData Documents and Settings pagefile.sys Savant AntDSWorkDir IO.SYS Program Files Software AUTOEXEC.BAT MSDOS.SYS Python25 System Volume Information boot.ini NTDETECT.COM RECYCLER Test CONFIG.SYS ntldr rtrace.txt WINDOWS
The specific example I have given above was for accessing a Windows "C: drive" but the general process will work for pretty much any type of media you need to access - you just need to specify the correct parameters.
For more information about mounting volumes, try Google or "man mount". Using "mount" without any parameters will show you the already mounted volumes. If you happen to be running BackTrack as a non root user you will need to use mount options and/or assign correct permissions or group memberships to your user so that they will be able to access the mount volumes. Mount operations themselves always need to be done as root.
I should note that it is also possible to mount volumes in BackTrack by using the GUI, however this is a method I usually avoid because of potential complications in accessing that volume later from the command line.
If you want to stop accessing your mounted volume (so you can safely unplug a mounted USB stick for example), unmount it using the "umount" command, using either the mount point or device name as a parameter, e.g. "umount /dev/sda1" or "umount /media/sda1".

Welcome Mac OS X Lion onto your Windows servers with ExtremeZ-IP v7.2
Today, I've asked Reid Lewis, our President and Founder, to share a few thoughts on our latest ExtremeZ-IP 7.2 release – Anders
Yesterday Apple released Lion, an important upgrade to Mac OS X, and GroupLogic is ready with an enhanced version of ExtremeZ-IP. The new ExtremeZ-IP has been improved and extensively tested confirming it supports Apple's improvements to Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) including its improved security and all of the many functions of Lion that ExtremeZ-IP delivers to Mac users connecting to Windows servers. If your organization supports Mac clients with Windows servers and Active Directory, ExtremeZ-IP is the only solution that can deliver the complete Mac OS X experience integrating Mac and Windows users on Windows infrastructure.
GroupLogic engineers have been working with Apple engineers for months testing Lion with ExtremeZ-IP to ensure that your users can upgrade to Lion with complete confidence that their Windows file server solution will continue to provide unmatched performance and trouble free compatibility. This is the seventh major Mac OS X upgrade that we've supported with ExtremeZ-IP and we're excited that Mac OS X Lion is faster and easier than ever. We're all enjoying Lion's cool-iOS inspired features that we've been experiencing on our iPads and iPhones. If you're running older Mac OS systems, I'm happy to report that ExtremeZ-IP is backwards compatible from Lion and Snow Leopard all the way back to Mac OS 9.2 so all of your Macs can safely co-exisit with Macs running Lion.
ExtremeZ-IP bring Lion compatibility to all modern Windows versions including Server versions 2003 through 64-bit 2008 R2. ExtremeZ-IP has proven integration with the enterprise features of Windows Server including Active Directory managed permissions (often a source of trouble for Mac users with SMB), Windows Search, Distributed File System (DFS), Clustering for failover, backup solutions and the wide range of hardware choices and virtualization options available for Windows.
As we have seen over the past couple years, Apple continues to improve AFP, maintaining it's file copying and directory listing speed advantages over the SMB (Windows file sharing protocol). And since Apple doesn't control the SMB protocol or the SMB server on Windows, it's unable to bring its new ideas to SMB making AFP the only way to get the full Mac OS X experience. For example, Apple has had to remove Time Machine support for the SMB protocol because of it's inability to evolve the SMB protocol to support the needs of this important function. The speedy searches delivered by Network Spotlight are still missing when searching non-Apple servers via SMB while Network Spotlight has been supported by ExtremeZ-IP for years.
At GroupLogic, we hear daily from our customers that they rely on the compatibility and performance of AFP as delivered by ExtremeZ-IP, and the support and rapid response to maintenance issues that they know they can get from GroupLogic.
I encourage you to plan your migration path to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion as soon as practical and be sure to upgrade to ExtremeZ-IP 7.2 first.
As always, please share your thoughts and suggestions with us by writing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Is there anything I can do to lower my auto insurance bill?
Yes. Insurance companies base auto insurance rates on a variety of criteria, such as your age, driving record, residence, and even the type of car that you drive (though factors vary from state to state). If you find that you're paying more than you think you should for auto insurance, there are ways you can lower your premiums.
- Shop around: Auto insurance rates vary from company to company, sometimes significantly. As a result, a good way to save money is to look into whether another insurer offers the same coverage at a lower rate.
- Consider raising your deductible: For the most part, the higher your deductible, the lower your premiums. Before you raise your deductible, though, you'll want to be sure you can cover the out-of-pocket expense should an accident occur.
- Eliminate unnecessary coverages: For example, if you have an older car, it may make sense to drop your collision and comprehensive coverage since a claim paid by your insurance company may be minimal and might not exceed what you'd pay in premiums and deductibles. Or, maybe you are paying your insurer for roadside assistance coverage that you already have through a separate road and travel club membership.
- Consider changing the type of car you drive: The type of car that you drive directly impacts what you pay for insurance. Typically, newer, higher-priced cars and sport/high-performance vehicles cost more to insure than used/lower-end models.
- Check for discounts with your insurer: Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for one or more auto insurance discounts. For example, your insurer might provide discounts to those with a safe driving record or to those who insure more than one car with them.
One final note: don't be tempted to save money on your auto insurance by lowering your liability coverage limits (although state minimums do apply). Having less than adequate amounts of liability coverage can expose you personally to claims for other people's losses--which in the case of a serious accident, can be significant.

For every one animated series that airs, there are dozens that never make it past the development stage. Illustrator Jeffery Thomas and writer Celeste Green share on their blog about one of these cancelled projects: GOTHAM HIGH!
We all go through incredible changes as teenagers: growth spurts, bad skin, a sudden insatiable need to uphold justice and avenge your murdered parents.... Well, that is if you're Bruce Wayne.
As if being a freshman at Gotham High wasn't tough enough, Bruce's insomnia and technological fascinations are taking their toll. Instead of spending his time studying, he has begun to obsess over an emerging personality trait: Batman. But under the watchful eye of his guardian and steward, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce is forced to put his intelligence to good use: graduating high school. But given his classmates, can Bruce survive Gotham High?
Jeffery Thomas tells us that DC approached him to develop the series based on a picture he submitted. Sadly, the project never went anywhere. We have heard the announcement that there is a new Batman series coming in the next couple of years, but it will be a CG version of the Dark Knight that will be familiar to people who have only seen the new movies. I guess WB doesn't want to have two Batman show running at the same time, no matter how different they are.
Personally, I would have loved to see this series, especially based on the excellent artwork! I'm always a fan of alternate realities, and one in which Batman and his rogues gallery are in high school together sound like it has loads of potential. (X-Men: Evolution, anyone?)

As the first international commercial concrete and masonry construction show in 2008, World of Concrete will offer all the new products, the latest technologies, an informative education program consisting of 90-minute and three-hour seminars, indoor/outdoor exhibits, events & demonstrations, plus resources and valuable information for all industry professionals.
For the third consecutive year, World of Concrete is honored to be part of the U.S. Department of Commerce International Buyer Program to further expand the U.S. exhibitors' international presence.
World of Concrete, Jan. 21-25 in Las Vegas, is known for the best how-to educational program in the business. The 2008 Education Program offers more than 150 sessions, new tracks, and a revised Master Certificate program.
"We are very excited about the changes and additions to the 2008 Education Program," says Bonnie King, senior conference manager for World of Concrete.
The revised Master Certificate Program requires nine hours in a major track and three hours in elective tracks. By allowing three hours in an elective track, the attendee benefits from three hours in an additional or complimentary track. Also new this year, both three-hour and 90-minute seminars qualify toward the Master Certificate, adding even more options and flexibility for completing the 12 hours required for this Certificate.
A new track addition for 2008 is Green Building in the 90-minute Seminars. Sustainability and environmentally friendly construction is growing in demand, making this track of six sessions a timely addition to the Education Program.
The Women in Concrete Luncheon & Forum continues to grow in popularity and offers great networking opportunities for women in construction. The event has sold out its first two years. In 2007, two 90-minute sessions were featured in the educational program and for 2008, a total of four sessions will address issues concerning women in construction.
Several tracks have been renamed to better reflect the topics covered. These include renaming the Basics track Concrete Fundamentals. Housing has been renamed Residential Concrete and Management has been renamed Business & Project Management. Complete track information will be available online.
For the second year, the State of Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) have approved Hanley Wood Exhibitions as an Educational Provider. Select technical, safety and business courses will be submitted for approval for certified and registered general contractors, building contractors, residential contractors and other construction professionals licensed by the state of Florida.
Also new for 2008, Continuing Education opportunities are expanding to include three-hour seminars as well as 90-minute sessions. Now all sessions will be submitted for American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems (AIA/CES) learning units and Professional Development Hours (PDHs)
OSHA's 10-hour Construction Safety for Concrete Construction will be held Monday and Tuesday. This 10-hour safety course satisfies the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) 10-hour construction safety training program requirements. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive an OSHA construction safety and health 10-hour course completion card.
Additional Education Program information and show information is available at http://www.worldofconcrete.com

Why not turn them into a battery-powered whirligig of doom? Using a battery powered drill, some MDF, and a timing belt, Jörg constructed one mean looking rotary slicer. Seems like a great stress reliever. If you get bored of the steak knives, you could always swap it out for a buffing wheel and wax your car.

Ogden Mustangs
The Mustangs, Ogden's first junior hockey team, needed a website that moves as fast as they do. We started them off with a static website with HTML, CSS, and jQuery, but they needed something different. They needed to be able to update the website on their own. We figured that this could be done by building a WordPress backend for their website, allowing them to update scores and schedules without technical knowledge. Now they are on top of their games at all times.
View Website
Bardo: The Movie, is a fantasy thriller that is directed by an aspiring young college director, Kevin Tse. The site we created features two trailers of his potential feature length film. We did all of the photography for the site and helped with editing the trailers. Through our help, this site will attract investors who can help bring his fantasy to the big screens.

Panty Bar
We built Panty Bar as an e-commerce website with HTML, CSS, and jQuery, built on top of Magento. The reason why we chose Magento, as the e-commerce framework, is to help Panty Bar manage their high levels of inventory. The Panty Bar website is used to order and manage shipments, as well as control market aspects like promo codes, discounts, newsletters etc...

Honda hired us to make a design as sleek and simple as their sedans. We designed this site to show their Accord, Civic, and Fit in the best light and angle possible for both the company and their customers to appreciate the car's designs to their greatest extent, without actually having to be on the road in them.
Rush Card
RushCard needed a website you could sweep through like the product itself. We went through several variations on the pages before we decided on this breezy blue design.

Good Swing Happens
Good Swings Happen is a junior golf academy started by a local golf pro who wanted the opportunity to teach his sport to children from all backgrounds. We designed and built his site as a charitable donation, using Wordpress, HTML, CSS, jQuery. We leveraged WordPress so that the site owner can make updates himself.

Nanotronic Bioscience
Nanotronic Bioscience, a cutting-edge pharmaceutical company that provides laboratory services to UCLA, asked us to help them build an easy-to-understand website that shows off their specialties. We set them up on a Wordpress CMS, and did the HTML and CSS to go with the glowing, antiseptic style of their site.

Mangrove Monkey
Mangrove Monkey's owner Matt Ives, sells custom-made boardshorts, and hired us to design an e-commerce site that he could easily manage with limited coding knowledge. He is now able to sign into his e-commerce platform to manage his own inventory. Since these boardshorts are one-of-a-kind designs, we also provided a custom graphical user interface to present them in a more distinctive way than a typical Wordpress platform would.

Gatling Pictures
We helped Gatling Pictures, a local independent film company, build a site to show off their films, including their award-winning documentary "Cure for Pain: The Mark Sandman Story," about the frontman of the Boston rock band Morphine; and their informative documentary "Tsua-Lei-Dan," about Taiwan's struggle to be recognized as a democracy.

This is the infamous post I've been looking for! Sweet.
My issue is similar to the other peoples- especially sqrdsqr's post.
Except I have a Mac, and I think he/she/it has a Dell.
Either way, to answer sqrdsqr's question, what I just did to check to see if I have the "name" I should be calling it (i.e. eth1, wlan0, etc) was in konsole:
lshw -class network
. It should list your networking thingadoos.
My question is, I did my whole lshw thing, and confirmed that my settings were right in the /etc/network/interfaces file...but it's still not working.
Here's what I get when I do a lshw.
I see that my wireless device and/or is being recognized (at least one of them have to be recognized because it says 802.11abgn after an equal sign)...but as to what to do with this info from here, I've got nothing.Code:*-network description: Wireless interface product: BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:04:00.0 logical name: eth1 version: 01 serial: 00:26:bb:11:ec:8f width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=184.108.40.206 latency=0 module=wl multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn
Here's what my interfaces file looks like.
iwconfig gives me thisCode:auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address ...(...means that I've got it right) netmask .......... network ............ gateway ........ auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address .......... netmask ............. network .......... gateway ............. essid ........... mode Managed nick manor channel auto ap any rate auto txpower auto key off modu auto
and ifconfig gives me this:Code:lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"" Nickname:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:16 Mb/s Tx-Power:24 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Managementmode:All packets received Link Quality=5/5 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=-57 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:1 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Honestly, even after I get my wireless WORKING, I'm not going to have it be a static address...but I figured it'd be a good idea to get it up and running before trying to figure out how dhcp works. Maybe it's simpler. Who knows (not I)? So yeah. figure that one out.Code:eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:bb:60:6a:ce inet addr:....... Bcast:...........

Thanks for posting this, I started like 2 different threads ( and got in trouble because I accidentally started 2 rather than one...hard to explain) before finding this one. I seriously searched everywhere for people with similar issues, and only those last few dudes seemed to have the same kinds of problems I've been having.

Early morning fire displaces 2 Windsor residents, 2 pets
November 16, 2012
A house fire early Monday morning left two Windsor residents and their dogs without a home.
Windsor Severance Fire Rescue crews responded to reports of the fire at 33840 Colo. 257 around 5 a.m. Capt. Todd Vess, spokesman for Windsor Severance Fire Rescue, said Scott Wenzel, Stephanie Brothers and their two dogs were out of the house when crews arrived. No one reported injuries.
The fire is believed to have started from an electrical malfunction in the attic. The house was built in 1923.
Seventeen firefighters and two officers responded.
The American Red Cross is helping the residents with immediate needs like housing, food, blankets and medication, according to a news release.

Gordon the Giraffe on the press circuit!Tuesday, December 18th, 2012
Gordon the Giraffe, a recent Arcana release, has been making the rounds in press outlets recently. See some quotes below, plus links to the full reviews/coverage. To learn more about the title, head over to its Arcana page, http://arcana.com/view_issue.php?id=493.
"This book does not shy away from the sweet simple, natural love that grows from within each of us uniquely. Deftly illustrated in silouette, suggesting emotion and intent without defaulting to over-sentimentality to deliver poignancy. An important children's book for any parent that wishes their child lessons of tolerance and acceptance toward themselves and others." — Michel Horvat, Award winning Documentarian "We are Dad"
"This book has a simple but powerful message: being different from the other kids (in this case, young giraffes) can result in bullying but if you keep your heart open, like Gordon does, you can be accepted for your difference. The story is accompanied by perfect illustrations that put the reader in Africa with traditional patterned borders on each page and the simple silhouette drawings. Children will learn about discrimination and a generous heart from this tale."
"This beautifully illustrated, heartfelt book teaches us that there's nothing wrong with "being different" and those who are "different" have a great deal to offer. We highly recommend Gordon The Giraffe for all who want to learn or teach compassion, empathy, and acceptance. Bravo on an inspiringly exquisite children's book!" — Laurie York and Carmen Goodyear Co-Directors, Freedom To Marry – The Journey To Justice
"At face value it's a simple story, but behind it is a world of meaning. Kids will see only the story itself – which is presented in big, easy-to-read print and simple language, accompanied by charming illustrations. Parents will see beyond the story to the real gist. It's about having the freedom to choose, to be who we are – or want to be, when we grow up, at any rate. It's about parents having the courage (not to mention the decency) to respect their kids' choices and not try to force them into alien roles. And the gentle subtext points out that gay people can be, and have been, among history's greatest heroes … that bravery is not a specifically heterosexual quality." — GLBT Bookshelf
"A beautiful message about following your heart and treating each other with kindness, even when you're confronted with cruelty."
Stacy Graffam publishes a blog, Out in Suburbia, where she chronicles the parenting adventures she and her wife enjoy. Stacy lives in New Jersey with her wife Donna-Mae Graffam and their two children. Her work regularly appears in Gay Parent Magazine, the oldest national publication for GLBT parents. Stacy Graffam review:
"Gordon the Giraffe" is a wonderful story that addresses GLBT diversity in a way that all families can understand and appreciate. It clearly conveys how Gordon and Gary are different, while at the same time, highlights the universal bond of love. In the story, love's power inspires Gordon to overcome his fear about being different when he shares his feelings about Gary with his mother. Then love overcomes the ignorance shown by his peers. When Gordon heroically saves the very characters that were planning him harm, we learn that kindness trumps cruelty and Gordon's bravery and courage is celebrated by his community.
Bruce Brown's story is enhanced further by the beautiful art of A. Shelton. I hope this becomes one of a series of stories about Gordon. It's an excellent teaching tool to explore our diversity and the importance to celebrating our common bonds rather than vilifying our differences.
The art is simple and illustrates this story perfectly. The story itself is touching. It shows being different is ok, there is nothing at all wrong with that.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars — Richard Vasseur, Jazma Online

Finding My Grandfather
Hi, all of my grandparents come from Italy. I found all of them on the Ellis Island web site except for my mothers father. I found where his wife and two sons came into Ellis Island. I was told he was here about 5 years before they came to the USA. My uncle was born in 1913, and he and his mother and brother came to the USa in 1920. I looked for my grandfather from 1912 and on, and could not locate him. Could he have come into another port? If so, can I find that on the Internet? If you need more information let me know.
Thank you
Thank you
Perhaps he came in before 1912???? anyway to cover all basesd and perhaps he came into another port go to www.gfenealogylookups.com/narchives.htm and file form 81 with NARA for all passeneger arrivals in the USA. Peter

Still looking for grandpa
Hi Peter, thans for answering my posting. My uncle Carmine was born November 1, 1913. From what i can figure, that makes my grandfather still in Italy nine months before that.
Try this website too. www.jewishgen.org/databases/EDIDB/ellis.html. It covers missing manfiests and may reflect what your looking for. Peter
Still looking for grandpa
Hi Peter, went to the web site you told me to go to, and found a few Vincenzo Mirra. Since my Uncle Carmine was born 11-1-1913 and my research has proved that he his brother and mother, (my grandmother) came to the USA in 1920, it tends to make me beleive that the Ellis Island site has one Vincenzo Mirra that came to the USA in 1919. The residence state AMERICA. WHy does it state AMERICA? I do not recognize the name that he came to America to stay with.
Still looking for Grandpa
I found his name (I think) on the matching passenger records of ellis Island. It States he arrived in 1919 He is listed as number 4. Age was 28. Residence was America. Thank you very much Peter. I hope you are able to find him for me.
Finding Grandpa
Thanks Peter, I too saw that name, but I have no idea who that person is, and if they are related. I will ask my mother to see if se know the name. Is that the first time you see my grandpa arriving in the USA? I wonder if he had come here befor that and that is why it states AMERICA in the paggenger rocords. Maybe he came here the the USA befor 1919 but I can't find hi doing that. Can you see where he did that?
Still Looking for Grandpa
HI peter, can I downlaod the form?
yes and I gave you the URL above in the beginning if you went up and reviewed what we had discussed. Go to www.genealogylookups.com/narchives.htm. Peter

Morning Briefing: EU Budget Talks, Czech CNB Appointment in Focus
- Local/GMT
- N/A EU summit on budget, subsidies
- 1000/0900 Czech President names central bank board members for new terms from Dec. 1
Results of talks held in Brussels from late Thursday by European Union leaders about the bloc's 2014-2020 spending budget may set the tone for Central European markets Friday.
Ex-Communist nations on the bloc's eastern rim are the biggest recipients of EU subsidies, known as cohesion funds and used for infrastructure projects, such as roads or rail corridors.
Pressured by the economic slowdown driven by the euro-zone credit crisis, some richer EU nations and main contributors to the bloc's budget–led by the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria–are calling for substantial cuts in the EU overall spending. They probably face a showdown with their Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Slovak peers who are seeking to preserve or increase their EU subsidies despite reductions in the overall EU budget.
In Prague, Czech President Vaclav Klaus is scheduled to name two members to the Czech National Bank's monetary policy board, as the current six-year terms of both CNB vice governors, Mojmir Hampl and Vladimir Tomsik, will expire at the end of November.
Appointments to the CNB policy board are traditionally kept secret until the actual naming ceremony. However, local market participants expect both vice governors, eligible for re-appointment, to stay in their jobs.
Both Mr. Hampl and Mr. Tomsik have declined to comment on whether they expect Mr. Klaus to extend their terms at the CNB. The appointment process is the sole responsibility of the president and his office also declined to comment.
CZECH REPUBLIC: Czech power utilityCEZ AS said it has three eligible bids for its coal-fired Elektrarny Detmarovice electricity generator, having earlier received separate offers for three of its other coal-burning power plants. CEZ is seeking to sell the four generators to comply with the requirement of the European Commission to limit its share of the Czech electricity market.
CZECH REPUBLIC: An air force pilot was killed Thursday when his Czech-made warplane crashed east of the capital Prague during a training flight, a military spokeswoman said. The fatal crash was the second since 2003 involving an L-159 fighter jet made by Czech aeronautics firm Aero Vodochody. Iraq decided to buy 28 of these NATO compatible two-seaters in October for around one billion dollars.
POLAND: Poland's treasury ministry has allowed Ringwood Financial Ltd. to file a bid for real-estate firm Polski Holding Nieruchomosciowy SA ahead of its initial public offering, but the transaction remains open to other investors, it said in a statement Thursday.
RUSSIA: Russia's gross domestic product growth continued to slow in October, the head of the macroeconomic forecasting department in the economy ministry said Thursday.
Oleg Zasov said Russian GDP grew 2.3% in October year-on-year and added 0.1% from the previous month. That compares to September growth of 2.7% and 0.4% respectively.

This is the long-reach dock lasso that simplifies the docking or launching of a boat. Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, the lasso terminates in a 12"-diameter ring made from weather-resistant synthetic rubber that easily drops over cleats or pilings. The ring is attached to a corrosion- and salt-water resistant telescoping aluminum pole that extends up to 90", making it ideal for boats up to 65' in length. Its textured T-shaped plastic handle provides a sure grip or, alternately, can provide an easy means to snag a rope. With a tensile strength of 900 psi, the rubber's natural friction grips whatever it is looped over yet it is flexible enough for use in fending off drifting boats. Collapses to 52" for convenient storage. 90" L x 12" Diam. (2 lbs.)

The Boater's Dock Lasso comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Great gift

This was a gift sent directly to the recipient - but he thought it was "pretty nifty" and would make docking his boat much easier,especially for someone not accustomed to doing so!! It also folds down making it easier to store on the boat.
