Watch These Dogs Who Love Playing in Leaves — Daily Distraction
Ah, fall. Football, pumpkin-flavored drinks and, of course, leaves.
Ah, fall. Football, pumpkin-flavored drinks and, of course, leaves.
What are you doing, dog? You're not people!
You may have seen the clip of the four pugs tilting their heads at the same time (they're featured prominently in our video above). Turns out those aren't the only pugs who've developed that habit.
Who among us hasn't gone diving head-first into the Tostitos bag in search of that last delicious chip?
We continue our series of pug-related posts with these pooches who don't mind being on camera at all. Not one bit.
Yesterday we took a look at what might be a pug's greatest natural talent: hopping up the stairs. Today, we observe how they get back down.
Ah, pugs. They'll eat just about anything, they'll knock all your bath supplies into the tub, but maybe their most special talent involves going up the stairs.
If someone offered you the chance to take a dip in the "Devil's Swimming Pool," would you do it? Well, you can ... if you dare.
As summer comes to an end and fall takes its place, it's important to think about the good times: the pool parties.
Because, really, who hasn't had the occasional otter in their car?
Babies and monkeys, monkeys and babies ... having fun together. The Internet.

This is the wallet made by a manufacturer of high-end baseball gloves using the same full-grain American steerhide found in their mitts. The hide undergoes a tanning process that strengthens and softens the material, resulting in a durable leather that withstands 100 M.P.H. fastballs yet is supple and smooth. The wallet's cash compartment is made of the same "perfed" leather used in the baseball gloves' lining to provide a player with a confident, textured grip. A special finishing process yields a leather with significant "pull-up,"the industry term for a brilliant burst of color when the leather is pulled tight, and a wax coating adds luster and patina. A heavy whip stitching enhances the wallet's durability and the interior has eight credit card slots. 3 1/2" H x 4 3/8" W x 3/4" D. (4 oz.)

No Proof of Authenticity
By Proof of authenticity??
from New York City
There's no statement of authenticity that comes with this product that confirms that it is made out of "genuine baseball mitt leather." How is the person I give this to to know? I bought it for a baseball fan but I think it's not going to be as special now without something that explains this.Instead it's just a wallet in a box. I'm very disappointed and the only reason I'm keeping it is because it's too late to get another gift before xmas and he needs a wallet!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

News Release — Gifford Medical Center
May 13, 2014
Robin Palmer
Gifford Medical Center
Marketing Department
[email protected]
(802) 728-2284
RANDOLPH CENTER – Amid cloudy skies and unseasonably chilly temperatures, a crowd of more than 100 turned out Tuesday afternoon to show their support as officials from Gifford Medical Center officially broke ground on a much-anticipated Senior Living Community.
For more than two years Gifford in Randolph has been working to gain approvals and move forward with a project that includes the reconstruction of its 30-bed nursing home, the Menig Extended Care Facility, on 30 picturesque acres in Randolph Center. Later phases of the project would include up to 100 independent living units and 20 assisted living beds.
Plans additionally call for renovations at the hospital. Once Menig moves, the current nursing home at Gifford will be renovated into 25 private inpatient rooms for patient safety and privacy. The hospital now has shared rooms.
Gifford earned Act 250 approval for the first two phases of the project – the new 30-bed nursing home and 40 independent living units – last August and Certificate of Need approval for both the new nursing home and hospital renovations from the Green Mountain Care Board in October.
Spring construction was planned and on Tuesday hospital officials along with the contractor HP Cummings Construction Co., architect MorrisSwitzer, and engineer DuBois & King broke ground on the new nursing home.
"It is a great occasion to celebrate this next step," said Gifford Administrator Joseph Woodin. "To be able to put the shovel to the ground, we'll remember this."
Woodin noted the nursing home's history and track record.
Gifford opened the Menig Extended Care Facility in 1998 after a local for-profit nursing home, 53-bed Tranquility Nursing Home, was "closed" by the state for quality concerns.
Since it has opened, Menig has won numerous state and national awards for quality, including being named one of the country's 39 best nursing homes in 2012 by U.S. News and World Report. The only nursing home in all of Orange County, Menig has a significant waiting list – about 100 people – for care.
It's nursing home officials' hope that by adding assisted living units, some of that waiting list will be diminished. The medical center has also seen community members move outside of the area for independent living options.
Ashley Lincoln, Gifford's director of development, called the project "both personally and professionally exciting." "It is an opportunity for Gifford to carry on its tradition of meeting the community's care needs, and it will allow more of our senior family and friends to remain in the region where they have grown up."
The project, said Gifford Board of Trustees Chairman Gus Meyer, is a step forward for the hospital and the community.
"It has long been true in health care, if you stand still, you're going to lose," Meyer said.
And while Tuesday's groundbreaking was for the new nursing home phase of the project, the complete plans are what excite Meyer.
"It's not just a nursing home moving up on the hill. It's all the renovations that are going to occur at the hospital," he said, "and independent and assisted living come behind. We're really excited about that, and we're really excited to do this in a way that makes sense financially and that makes sense for our communities.
"This is all a part of Gifford becoming even more involved in the health of our communities, … and doing all we can to realize our vision of having the healthiest communities that we can."
Construction on the new nursing home is expected to take about a year. Renovations at the hospital will follow.

In helping students discover and develop their perceptions of the visual world around them, the Art Department helps students develop an integrated Christian personality characterized by wholeness. By helping our students work with the process of creation, we attempt to instill within them an appreciation and reverence for their Creator.
The Art Department also attempts to help students develop a method of critical judgment by which they can evaluate visual works of art and visual phenomena in the world around them, and by which they can ascertain how these phenomena promote or inhibit a life characterized by wholeness.We seek to instill in students a knowledge and appreciation of the Western intellectual, cultural, and religious heritage, as well as the intellectual, cultural, and religious heritage of those parts of the world with which we in the West are coming into contact more and more frequently. In addition, our department attempts to help students develop a more sensitive awareness of the world and society in which they live and work by teaching them how their decisions and manipulations of the visual world can either promote or inhibit a life characterized by wholeness.
Why Should I Study Art?
- Smaller class sizes - Class sizes generally range from 10-20
More individual advisement
- You're not just "a number"
- Students are required to meet with their advisers every semester to discuss schedules and progress (but WILL work with them much more frequently)
- More "face time" with faculty. - Faculty will get to know you by name (who you are and what you are like as a student and as a person); Faculty are advisers and mentors to students.
- Faculty experience - All of our full-time faculty have worked in the Graphic Design or Studio Art fields at one time or another and all of our full-time faculty continue to be productive in their fields.
- Facilities - Our state-of-the-art Graphic Design Computer Lab has been designed to enhance and maximize the learning process. The students learn by doing. As the students work at their computers, they can see what the professor is doing as his computer is projected on a large screen in the front of the room

The already completed a pilot study in the Science Center and Brooks hall and received almost universally enthusiastic feedback. Their project is expected to save 3,500 gallons of water per day ($8,000/y in water utility costs) and additional hard-to-quantify savings in our natural gas consumed to heat the extra water.
ISE Sustainability Intern Emily Ball Writes Successful ALCOA Proposal for Recycle Bins
Clarkson University is one of 35 schools across the country to receive recycle bins through the Alcoa Foundation Collegiate Recycling Bin Grant program. This award is the result of the hard work of Emily Ball (MS ESE '13), who has worked for two years to provide creative and visible ways to remind us all to recycle what we can. Forty new 23-gallon bins will arrive shortly to improve recycling efforts throughout Cheel Center. As a part of this effort, Clarkson is participating in the benchmark division of the 2013 RecycleMania Competition. Emily and her crew of volunteers are at work after major events in Cheel to sort through the recyclables to weigh and record our efforts.

Post subject: Pre-Washington Mock
New GM : 49ers Director of College Scouting Joel Patten
Head Coach : Vic Fangio
Offensive Coordinator : Norv Turner
Connection with Fangio : Vic Fangio when in Baltimore, coached with Cam Cameron, who is a Norv Turner disciple.
Offensive Staff
QB Coach : John Ramsdell
RB Coach : Ollie Wilson
WR Coach : Charlie Joiner
TE Coach : Jason Michael
OL Coach : Hal Hunter
Defensive Coordinator / OLB Coach : Kevin Greene
Connection with Fangio : Vic Fangio and Kevin Greene are both from the Dom Capers coaching tree, and Greene played for Fangio when he was in Carolina. We'll run a hybrid 3-4/4-3 to start with, before going to a 4-3 full time.
Defensive Staff
DL Coach : Ted Gill
ILB Coach : Robert Saleh
DB / Assistant Head Coach : John Hoke
Special Teams Coordinator : Rich Bisaccia
Prior to the cap roll over the Eagles are an expected $18,120,825 over the cap. The Cap we can roll over is $21,716,957. Meaning at this point in the offseason we have $3,596,132. These figures are per
QB Michael Vick ($17,900,000 saved against the cap)
WR Jason Avant ($1,290,000 saved against the cap)
LG Evan Mathis ($0 saved against the cap)
DE Jason Babin ($3,845,000 saved against the cap)
DT Cullen Jenkins ($5,500,000 saved against the cap)
DT Mike Patterson ($4,064,000 saved against the cap)
CB Nnamdi Asomugha ($11,300,000 saved against the cap)
Pay Cut
OL Jason Peters (Lowers cap hit from $10,400,000 to $5,400,000)
Free Agents
This frees up an additional $48,899,000 in cap room. This takes the total cap space we have to $52,486,132.
OL King Dunlap / 2 Years
King Dunlap is a solid backup swing tackle, so he is brought back on a 2 year contract to be the swing tackle.
CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is given the franchise tag
Stay Tuned
The Eagles trade Franchise tagged CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to the Miami Dolphins, along with the 6th overall pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for LT Jake Long and the 16th Overall Pick.
The difference in picks is roughly that of the 31st pick, and add in a pro bowl corner, and it makes this deal a very fair deal for both sides.
DRC isn't a fit for the new scheme being brought in as San Francisco asks their corners to be more physical, but there is value so he is tagged and traded. They pair DRC and Sean Smith to give them one of the better corner duos in the NFL. They have struggled across from him since trading Vontae Davis, so they upgrade and don't lose any players.
Jake Long fits the man blocking scheme brought in by Norv Turner, and not a fit for the zone scheme in Miami right now. The trade puts them in a position to draft Taylor Lewan or Luke Jockel, while we get our LT, and maintain a first round pick.
Free Agents
OL Louis Vasquez / 5 Years
This move completes the revamping of the offensive line, as he pairs on the right side with Jason Peters while Herremans kicks to LG next to Jake Long to form a nasty line with size and athletic ability. Jason Kelce at 295 pounds is big enough to be a solid starter in a man scheme, and I think he can do it, but there will be a challenge brought in.
DL Tony McDaniel / 3 Years
McDaniel comes in to be the bookend at DE across from Fletcher Cox, McDaniel is a strong run defender who is at his best in a 3-4 defense. He uses his length to affect the passing game by getting his hands up and batting down passes, and also uses his length to be able to disengage and make the play. He also can maintain blocks if needed and is a player who will provide us with a solid starter at LDE.
DL Aubrayo Franklin / 2 Years
The 3-4 requires a nose tackle, and while Franklin is aging, he's a strong run stuffer up front and even if it was for just in 06, he played on a team coached by Fangio so there is familiarity with the scheme. Franklin comes in as the starting nose tackle on a 2 year deal, and while he may be a stopgap until we can develop a replacement, you can do a lot worst than Franklin.
CB Aqib Talib / 2 Years
Talib has has a litany of off field issues, but as a player he's got shutdown corner potential, and has been close to living up to that potential. He's a physical corner and can play both man and zone, and is able to make plays in the running game as well. While he is a risk, a 2 year deal which is set up with a one year guaranteed and the 2nd being contingent on a roster bonus with a provision he keeps himself out of trouble is what I'd expect.
With the 15th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select Linebacker, Cornelius Carradine, Florida State
Carradine is physically similar to Aldon Smith coming out, and is used at FSU a lot like Smith was at Missouri. Whether they kick him inside or outside, or the occasional drop into coverage, Carradine is the type of athlete who can fit into any type of defensive front be it as a down lineman in a four man front or as a rush linebacker in a 3-4 Carradine is a special football player. He's raw as a pass rusher, but has shown exceptional development as the season has gone along this season. He's a legitimate first round prospect, and is a guy with legitimate star potential. For a defensive coordinator that got the most out of Smith, this may be a perfect landing spot for Carradine as far as the 3-4 goes.
With the 39th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select Cornerback, Jordan Poyer, Oregon State
A talented player out of the pacific northwest, Poyer is a corner who plays physical, can play zone or man, and can move around the formation whether it be inside or outside. He's strong when pressing or off, can play the run, and is a flat out football player. He's probably the fourth or fifth corner to be drafted, but I think he has a shot to be a pro bowl caliber player, and his physicality and versatility give us another option in the passing game. With Boykin in tow he won't be asked to kick inside as much, but he has some size on Brandon, so it allows us another option. He's also a good punt returner, so it adds special teams value.
With the 67th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select Wide Receiver, Aaron Dobson, Marshall
In any other class, Dobson is a second round pick with a shot at the late first. That said, this is a STACKED receiver class, Dobson slips through the cracks to the third round, where Norv Turner is glad to have him. While originally he will be the #3 receiver who will split time in the slot with DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, he will be groomed into that Vincent Jackson number one receiver in this offense who has size to be an underneath option as well as a redzone option, but also is a long strider who can get deep and use his height and leaping ability on deep balls.
With the 103rd Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select Safety, Kenny Tate, Maryland
Tate is one of my favorite safeties in this class when Maryland plays him at safety. He's been played at OLB and had injury issues, but when at safety he's shown Adrian Wilson/Kam Chancellor type ability, but due to the position switch which has been a lateral move for him, and the injuries will drop his draft stock from a second or third round guy to a 4th round type prospect. I think he could come in right away and challenge Kurt Coleman for his starting spot in the defensive backfield.
With the 142nd Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select Defensive End Margus Hunt, SMU
Hunt is as athletic as any 3-4 end prospect in a while, and physically will remind you of JJ Watt. That said, outside of blocking kicks, he really hasn't shown production as a football player, so he is only a high ceiling risk prospect at this point, but its the type of risk worth taking in the 5th round for a rebuilding team.
With the 180th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select Defensive Tackle, Anthony Rashad White, Michigan State
Anthony Rashad White comes in immediately as the number 2 nose tackle, and an option as the long term answer at the nose. White is a load in the middle and can eat up blockers and be a strong run defender in the middle of the Spartans defense, and has NFL talent.
With the 226th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select Linebacker Bruce Taylor, Virginia Tech
Taylor is a developmental thumping linebacker in the 3-4 who at worst is a decent backup as he's a big strong tackler who can shed blockers. That said, he has limitations in coverage and in space and that may be putting it lightly, it can be masked playing next to Mychal Kendricks if he becomes the starting TED backer in the future, which he could be.
With the 236th Overall Pick, the Philadelphia Eagles Select Center, Tevita Stevens, Utah
A developmental center with size and power, Stevens is a guy who has strength and size to be a solid project center in the NFL, and compete long term with Kelce if he doesn't fit the new blocking scheme.
Quarterback Sean Renfree, Duke
Future #2 QB if all ends well with him
Defensive End David Kruger, Utah
Depth at the 3-4 End spot with talent.
Outside Linebacker, Wes Horton
Talented kid with room to grow as an OLB in the 3-4.
Punter Jackson Rice, Oregon
Strong legged punter out of the Pacific Northwest.

You Sure Miami is stoked about that trade bro?! With Andy gone how we going to troll like that?
Go from DRC to Talib?
I dunno why that seems so odd to me. They almost seem like the same person to me. I think Talib has find a home in New England.. Hes a maniac but that is where maniacs normal out. Should be good for him.
Norv turner is a joke and is bad voodoo bro.
Like the draft tho.
I hear Carradine is a freak of nature.
Poyer and Dobson are the best pics ever. There could make instant impacts. tough physical players with lots of athletic upside.

Both will be top 15 picks after the combine. I've been saying it for a few weeks.
, while Turner sucks as a HC, but he's a great offensive coordinator. I also think the trade is possible, as the Dolphins are going to a ZBS and Long is not a fit, and they get first round value and a pro bowl caliber corner.
Talib's a more physical corner than DRC, thats the reason for that switch.
I also completely disagree with the notion Kenny Tate can't play safety anymore. He still plays snaps in the defensive backfield and looks much better in those situations than he does in the box. His game is similar to Adrian Wilson and Kam Chancellor, both of whom had the same questions coming out.

Yeap....Dion Jordan will fly up the draft boards.....but assuming the Eagles go with Foles...I think they ultimately go BPA and in this draft at their projected range...I think that 1st pick is either on the OL or DL. My guess is that first pick ends up being on the OL unless a guy falls that they just can't pass up...like Star Lotulelei.

I had improved the OL through FA and trade though, and there isn't a center worth a 1st round pick in this class. We take one of the best pass rushers on the board for the new 3-4 being brought in.

It's good if we are switching to the 3-4
But that's not something I want to do, nor think makes sense. It'll add years to the rebuilding process.

Ehh I'm not so sure about that. Assuming they cut/trade most, if not all the high paid guys (Babin, Nnamdi, Patt, Jenkins) you're looking at a rebuild of the defense anyway. Assuming they scrap the wide-9, they are going to be looking for different defensive lineman as well.
You look at the Colts who went from the Cover 2 to the 3-4 this year and are a middle of the pack defense. That's with only drafting 2 defenders (neither of which has played) and a bunch of cast-offs from other teams. And one of their best players, Freeney, has done nothing.
So it'd look something like this:
Draft/FA (Must)
Trotter (Reach, but he played the position in college)
Cole (Our version of Freeney. Would be better off trading him.)
Draft/FA (must)
Matthews (cut)
Chaney (cut)
Now that doesn't look great but IMO this is a great draft for 3-4 defenses.
Lotulelei (could play 5 as well)
Ansah (OLB)
OLB (loaded):
A lot of possibilities, but I don't think a transition to the 3-4 would significantly prolong the rebuild process. Barring a miraculous acquisition of talent and/or a brilliant coaching job, this team is a few years from competing anyway. There's just too many holes to think otherwise.

Don't like Talib, and if he's more physical than DRC, it's not very much.

'They are a team whose young goalie has the poise to twice make point-blank saves on fabled scorer Alexander Mogilny. They are a defense that protects a lead by allowing the opposition just six shots on goal in the third period. They are an offense by committee, its talent distributed over four lines rather than concentrated in two. And they are players willing to go to the mat, the penalty box and, if necessary, the locker room for each other.'

SACRAMENTO - At least a dozen California lawmakers repaired or upgraded their state-provided vehicles at taxpayers' expense in the final weeks before the one-of-its-kind perk was ending, then later bought those vehicles for personal use.
The improvements ranged from cosmetic changes such as fixing dents and replacing wheel covers, to getting tires, multipoint inspections and new parts such as fuel pumps that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Some had the vehicles they would soon buy inspected at no cost to them, while others had last-minute work done under warranty, according to state maintenance records obtained by The Associated Press through public records requests.
Officials at the state Senate and Assembly said they did not ask lawmakers to have their vehicles repaired or upgraded before the state put them up for sale to independent dealers a year ago.
"Essentially what they did was get all their repairs done on the state's dime before they bought it," said Philip Ung, a spokesman for the government watchdog group Common Cause.
The sale was the last step in ending a program dating to the 1950s that had been criticized as an unreasonable benefit for legislators who in recent years have slashed the state's social services safety net to stem billion-dollar budget deficits.
The AP has previously reported on various aspects of the perk, including that the Legislature had spent $5 million for one year's fleet and refused to publicly release the mileage or where the lawmakers drove the vehicles.
California was the only state that provided vehicles to its rank-and-file lawmakers for unlimited use, until the state Citizens Compensation Commission voted in April 2011 to do away with the benefit. Legislators were told to turn in their vehicles by Dec. 1, 2011.
Of 64 lawmakers who had state-financed repairs after the commission's decision, 37 purchased their vehicles. That includes 16 of 18 senators and 21 of 46 Assembly members.
Many sought routine maintenance, such as oil changes, that accounted for a portion of the more than $78,000 the state spent to repair, clean and upgrade the state-provided vehicles in the final nine months of the program.
Others did much more shortly before the sales, according to the documents. The AP also paid for records from the Department of Motor Vehicles to help determine which lawmakers bought their vehicles.
Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga, had $5,984 worth of repairs. He had a dent in the rear bumper fixed, the power steering and brakes replaced, and a detailed cleaning performed on a 2005 Chevy Tahoe between August and November 2011.
Much of the work was done seven weeks before the vehicle was sold to a dealer for $11,000 in December. The former Senate minority leader bought it for $12,681 in campaign funds as he prepared to leave office for an unsuccessful bid for Congress this year.
Gary Winuk, chief of the Fair Political Practices Commission's Enforcement Division, said Dutton's use of campaign money raises legal issues because the vehicle was re-registered to Dutton as an individual.
Dutton said he thought he acted legally because the money was intended to cover his expenses as a state lawmaker. He said he saved taxpayers money in the long run by driving a used vehicle.
He said a lot of work had to be done on the vehicle because it was closing in on 100,000 miles. Since he bought it, Dutton added, he has had to make significant repairs, including fixing the transmission.
Among those whose cars had large bills were two Democratic assemblymen, Tony Mendoza of Artesia and Isadore Hall of Compton.
Mendoza charged taxpayers for nearly $2,300 worth of repairs to his 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid in the final two months the state owned it. That included more than $1,200 for four new tires, an oil change and a "multi-point inspection" about a month before he bought it.
Hall had the state pay for $2,442 worth of work on his 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid, including new tires and a cooling system flush, before he bought it. Nearly $1,700 of the work was done in the final month the state owned it.
State Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, had $651 of repairs on his state-issued 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid. The work included replacing a battery filter and fixing an inoperable driver's seat belt.
The vehicle was selected from a state-provided list in December 2004, shortly after he took office as a state senator, according to Lowenthal, who was elected to Congress last month. He said Wednesday he can understand taxpayers' objecting to cosmetic or other questionable repairs done on their dollar.
"This was a safety issue," Lowenthal said. "For me to purchase (the) car, I couldn't buy it (if it was unsafe)."
Other lawmakers took their vehicles into the shop just days before they were required to turn them in.
Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro, had a "55 point vehicle inspection" on her 2007 Toyota Prius Hybrid just three days before she was to surrender the vehicle she later bought. The $827 billed to taxpayers that day also included a new water pump, drive belt and update to the vehicle's GPS system.
Twenty-five days before his 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid was sold, Assemblyman Jeff Miller, R-Corona, replaced two tires, the windshield wipers and the automatic transmission fluid at a cost to taxpayers of $887.
Mendoza, Hall and Miller did not respond to repeated requests for comment, while Corbett declined comment.
Democratic Sen. Ron Calderon of Monterey Park special ordered "2 vogue type wheel center caps" for $80, among other late maintenance that cost taxpayers more than $500. His spokesman, Rocky Rushing, said the work on the 2006 Cadillac "was necessary or scheduled maintenance."
"They wanted to frontload all the maintenance and repairs," said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. "This was another example of `let's make the taxpayers carry the freight on this."'
Staff Writer Eric Bradley contributed to this report.

A cool damp weather system making its way across Southern California brought firefighters a timely respite just as the Springs Fire in Ventura County was expected to reach full containment Monday.
The fire, which started along the Ventura Freeway, 50 miles north of Los Angeles, went on to burn through coastal mountains, blackening 28,000 acres and threatening 4,000 homes.
The off-and-on showers are expected to continue through Tuesday afternoon, bringing about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of rain to the region, according to National Weather Service forecaster Mike Watkins.
Along with periods of showers, there's a slight chance of thunderstorms.
A warming trend and fewer clouds are expected later in the week as high pressure builds into the region.
"We're getting a late-season system and it's good we're getting this," Watkins said. "It's been pretty dry this season - so far we're roughly 30 percent below normal rainfall. "
Bill Peters, Cal Fire San Bernardino unit spokesman, said the immediate rain is good to cool temperatures and get the ground and vegetation wet.
"But the downside is although the vegetation is wet, the plants are beyond drawing moisture into their stems at this point," Peters said.
There has been so little rain that the plants are where they would be in July or August.
"The rain is a plus right now - at least it's a break from the severe weather we saw last week," Peters said, adding that the Santa Ana winds we've seen in May were really unusual.
The rain has left vegetation with a damp coating and there's been nothing to dry it out as long as the winds don't blow, according to Watkins.
The system is expected to hang around until Wednesday, when it moves east along the Southern plains, forecasters said.
The system may even bring a "teensy" bit of snow above 7,000 feet, Watkins said.
Peters suggested that this might be a good time to whack weeds and clear defensible space around your home.

Photo Galleries: Devore Fire | 2
A 350-acre brush fire continues to burn in Cajon Pass along the 15 Freeway, jamming freeways through the pass and for miles around.
Caltrans finally opened the 15 in both directions about 5:30 p.m. Monday, with two lanes open in each direction.
The afternoon-long closure also jammed portions of the 210 and 215 freeways. Some San Bernardino Mountain roads were full of motorists attempting to reach the High Desert via an alternate route.
Full containment is expected at 6 p.m. Tuesday, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
The Forest Service first received reports of the wind-driven blaze at 10:55 a.m. off the northbound 15 north of Kenwood Avenue in Devore, dispatchers said. The fire prompted evacuations in the Matthew's Ranch area, Forest Service officials said.
San Bernardino County firefighters are assisting in fighting the fire, which burned chaparral in steep, rugged terrain mostly east of the highway.
Shortly after 4 p.m., fire officials said the fire was 5 percent contained.
Caltrans waited to open the freeway through the pass for the arrival of more than 700 orange roadway safety cones to provide a safety net around the fire crews.
Officials said 450 firefighters are assigned to the fire, along with 54 fire engines, six water tenders, five bulldozers, 12 hand crews, five air tankers and five helicopters.
The smoke that billowed into the Inland Empire definitely got San Bernardino resident Heather Tafoya's attention.
"To me it looks worse than a normal brush fire," she said of the thick black smoke she saw as she drove toward her daughter's school to make sure she was OK. "It's pretty bad."
A group of motorists, who had been diverted off the freeways in the afternoon, waited patiently on Cajon Boulevard while firefighters tackled the blaze.
Randy Meisner was sitting in his car along the side of Cajon waiting for the freeway to reopen so he could get home after work to pick up his children at day care.
"I know the closure is for everyone's safety but I have to get up the hill," he said. "This is keeping me from my children. If someone started this fire they should be ashamed of themselves."
Jeff Hillenburg, a truck driver for Knight Transportation, said he was headed to Apple Valley for a delivery when he was diverted off the freeway and decided to stop at the end of Cajon to wait it out.
"When I saw the smoke, it just looked like dust blowing. Now, it (the fire) looks like it jumped the freeway," Hillenburg said.
Scott McKelvey of San Diego was on the way to Las Vegas when authorities shut down the freeway.
"There's just no way around it," McKelvey said. "I'm just going to have to wait it out."
Fixed-wing aircraft strafed the flames with Phochk retardant trying to extinguish the inferno on either side of the freeway.
"Thankfully the Santa Ana wind conditions were light to moderate," said CalFire spokesman Bill Peters. "We were prepared and ready for the possibility of a fire and got a handle on it quickly."

Linda Pratt, NU executive vice president and provost, said: "We were impressed with Ms. Niemiec's experience with helping academic programs bring online degrees into being, her knowledge of the technical side of distance education, and her ability to work with varied groups of people across campuses."
Niemiec has been at the University of Illinois at Chicago since 1990, serving in numerous capacities, including leadership positions in external education and international affairs. She has served in her current role since 2005 and previously was interim associate provost for external education, a role in which she provided leadership for the campus' instructional outreach and online education mission. She has delivered numerous presentations at conferences and workshops sponsored by the Sloan Consortium, a leading national organization focused on high-quality online education, and in 2010 and 2011 she served as conference chair for the Sloan Consortium Blended Learning Conference and Workshop.
Niemiec holds a bachelor's degree in social work from Southern Illinois University and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
"I am thrilled to be joining the University of Nebraska," she said. "The opportunity to be part of a team focused on bringing high-quality education offered by this world-class university and its four campuses to more students is exciting."
"Much has already been done to establish a collaborative infrastructure for distance education, and I look forward to working with the University of Nebraska's academic leaders, faculty and professionals to achieve the vision and goals for Online Worldwide," Niemiec said.
Online Worldwide offers more than 80 degree, certificate and endorsement programs in a wide range of fields to serve the needs of students in Nebraska and beyond. In 2009-10, students generated about 88,000 credit hours in online courses offered through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Nebraska at Omaha and University of Nebraska at Kearney – a nearly 30 percent increase over the previous year. Unduplicated headcount enrollment in distance education programs at UNL, UNO and UNK also grew almost 30 percent from 2008-09 to 2009-10.
Students generated another 10,000 online credit hours through the University of Nebraska Medical Center School of Allied Health Professions in 2009-10, though these figures are not included in the overall growth figures because comparable data for the previous year was not available.
Milliken said that continued growth in online education will be a key strategy for the university as it seeks to help grow a more educated workforce for Nebraska. Milliken pointed out that about 265,000 Nebraskans have completed some college but have not earned a degree, and online education is an excellent opportunity to reach those students who may not be able to attend traditional on-campus courses.

BT5 R1 IS the final version.
My question is simple
Why cannot BT5 be installed and run
I have now tried both 64bit and 32bit and the furthest I get is to the splash screen where one should do startx, but after that the screen goes black and nothing more happens.
I did the fix-splash before that, but not matter what it will not run, only in safemode
What am I doing wrong
Backtrack 5R1 works great and I have never had any issues with the previous versions.
So what is wrong with the final version? Is it not made to work, or am I to stupid to know how?
Please help as I would really want to use this latest package
PS. Running it on a Acer Aspire 5742Z laptop
BT5 R1 IS the final version.
How come there is two seprate download options in the download section then? Backtrack 5 and Backtrack 5 R1 both for GNOME and KDE
See my confusion?
Ok, let me explain. BT5 was the first release. BT5R1 (R1 stands for revision 1) was kind of a "remake" where they (developers) fixed bugs reported by the community, added requested tools, etc... That's why BT5R1 works fine. Gnome and KDE versions were made to give BT5 users a choice on which graphical environment they would have installed with BT5.
Don't I look like the funny one now, my thought where that R1 represented realease candidate 1 - But hey, thanks for clearing that up and by that ending a 2 weeks long trail of error on my part.
I will now revert back to, or should I say revert forward to R1.. Thank you sir, learn something new everyday
No problem, I'm here to help where I can

Fans of the rock legend remember his greatest hits including a clip of him singing with Netanyahu and Peres.
JERUSALEM — Arik Einstein, an iconic Israeli singer as well as a songwriter and actor, has died.
Einstein died Tuesday night at a Tel Aviv hospital, where he was rushed after suffering an aortic aneurysm. He was 74.
Israeli television channels halted their regular programming to broadcast clips and remembrances of the singer, whose first recordings were released in the 1960s.
Fans holding a vigil outside the Sourasky Medical Center cried when the hospital's director general, Dr. Gabriel Barbash, announced that Einstein had died.
Amid the grief over the passing of Einstein, the Internet has given us a reassuring gem:
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres — together, in the nineties — singing one of Einstein's best-known songs, "Ani v'Ata" (You and I).
The clip starts with Israeli celebrities Ofra Haza and Dan Shilon singing the song on stage, but after about a minute and a half they descend to Bibi and Peres, who stand and somewhat awkwardly sing along. Bibi — who wrote not one but two Facebook posts mourning Einstein yesterday — adds his confident baritone to the melody. Peres, though, doesn't appear to know the words to one of Israel's most famous songs. After joining in for the opening line, his mouth hardly moves.
The video's description says it was shot in 1995 and calls Bibi the prime minister and Peres former prime minister. But in 1995, Bibi led the Knesset opposition while Peres served as foreign minister under Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. One year later, Bibi would edge Peres out in an upset election victory.
Einstein has not performed in front of an audience since the early 1980s following a road accident in which he was seriously injured.
His first album, "Shar Bisvilech" or "Singing for You," was released in 1966. He was part of the rock band The High Windows with Shmulik Kraus and Israeli-American Josie Katz. He also formed the Lool, or Chicken Coop, comedy troupe.
His other well-known songs included "Oof Gozal" (Fly Away Chick) and "Sa Le'at" (Drive Slowly). See video clips of him performing by clicking the multimedia tab to the right.

anyone know how to test this adapter whether is 500mW or 1000mW?
coz i bought this adapter yesterday curious whether im being cheated or not..
anyone know how to test this adapter whether is 500mW or 1000mW?
coz i bought this adapter yesterday curious whether im being cheated or not..
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Get another wifi device of known power (e.g. get a lend of your friend's Alfa which you know to be 500 mW).
Next set up an access point. Now go very far away from the access point with you and your friend's laptop and the two Alfa's.
Try to access the network from both computers. If the difference in connection is negligible, it would indicate that both devices are of equal power. If your device performs a fair bit better, it's probably more powerful.
Ask questions on the open forums, that way everybody benefits from the solution, and everybody can be corrected when they make mistakes. Don't send me private messages asking questions that should be asked on the open forums, I won't respond. I decline all "Friend Requests".
afaik the original alfa AWUS036H was 500mw
just figured out they have a new model and havent updated their manuals
If you have access to a XP or Win 2003 box type in these two command in the cmd.exe console to check your Alfa wifi CcxPowerLevels mW power range..
The wmic script could be simplified by adding an additional "get CcxPowerLevels" command to show just the power levels but I couldn't get it to work for some reasion on my XP/Alfa laptop when posting so I stuck with the general NIC dump info..Code:wmic /output:c:\nic.html nic where MacAddress="alfa mac address in quotes" get /format:hform Start c:\nic.html
According to this site: (sorry i havent posted enough to post the link)
Here is what they say:
This is the latest version of Alfa sku AWUS036H: It was formerly designated as a 500mW device and now Alfa is claiming that the specification is 1000mW (1-watt): However, in our tests of this latest version against the previous (500mW) version, we find an improvement in signal strength of approximately 7% vs. the previous (500mW) version.
So it doesnt apepar to be true.
if your alfa is 1w the pcb is blue!! is not necessary to open it, you try to controll through the hole of the led!! :P
I was watching the antenna that the alfa have by default, use other antenna like the one that came with the Gsky, I order an alfa 1watt so I will do a home made test, reading the Network Stumbler program, if the numbers stay the same then I will have a backup usb antenna lol.
The Alfa 1000mW(1W) has a 1 in cased in a circle stamped on the front the 500mW does not

When the Space Shuttle retires as scheduled in June, NASA will be dependent on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Based on a recent $753 million contract NASA awarded to the Russian Federal Space Agency, these outsourced services cost U.S. taxpayers roughly $63 million per seat.
It's doubtless a hefty price tag, but NASA lacks U.S.-based alternatives—so far, anyway. American businesses are, nonetheless, vying for agency funds with which to advance U.S.-built spacecraft and related technologies. Such a contract was just announced; yet, the contract amount is but 10 percent of that awarded to Russia's space agency.
Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) won a $75 million, Congressionally mandated award from NASA as part of the Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) initiative started in 2009. NASA's CCDev awards are intended to stimulate efforts within the private sector, encouraging the development, maturation, and demonstration of human spaceflight technologies and capabilities.
Under this specific contract award, SpaceX will develop a launch escape system for its Dragon, enabling the company's spacecraft to carry astronauts. Considered by many to be the Space Shuttle's successor, Dragon is designed to carry seven astronauts to the space station, the cost of which would be $20 million a seat, reveals a spokesperson.
"This award will accelerate our efforts to develop the next-generation rockets and spacecraft for human transportation," explains Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO and chief designer. "With NASA's support, SpaceX will be ready to fly its first manned mission in 2014."
This geek, dedicated to fostering innovation in the U.S., calls out to his brethren: engineers, computer scientists, chemists, mathematicians, physicists, and systems integrators and systems architects; U.S.-based companies such as SpaceX in Texas, Virgin Galactic in New Mexico, and Boeing in the Northwest; technology companies, such as Mentor Graphics and others, offering tools for designing and developing radiation-hardened tools and spacecraft avionics. Let's bring that nearly $1 billion dollars back to the U.S. Let's fly Americans to space aboard private spacecraft conceived, designed, and developed right here in the U.S.

It will take a lot of money to maintain Redlands' historic Kimberly Crest House and Gardens in 2013, but quite a bit less, on average, than it has in recent years - a deliberate move toward a leaner operating style, say those who run the estate, as well as a response to tough economic times.
This year's budget is $270,000, down from a yearly $290,000 from 2009 through 2012, said Amanda Parks, in charge of marketing and special events for the Kimberly Shirk Association, the foundation that since the early 1980s has kept the house operating as a museum and public events venue.
"That has been accomplished in part by lowering administrative costs," Parks said. "But the vast majority of the savings has come from keeping a very lean staff."
A staff of just two: Parks and Executive Director Tonja Blankenship are the foundation's only employees.
Physical upkeep of the house and grounds is done by outside contractors, with the assistance of a hands-on board of directors and a large corps of volunteers.
Volunteer docents staff special events, do historical research, lead tours and operate the Carriage House Gift Shop.
When she died in 1979, longtime resident Mary Kimberly Shirk left her 7,000-square foot, three-story chateau-style home, situated on several acres of decorative ponds, groves and gardens, to the KSA foundation.
She tasked the foundation's board with keeping the Prospect Drive property open for the enjoyment of the people of Redlands, and left an endowment of a million dollars for maintaining Kimberly Crest.
Thanks to hard work and tireless fundraising, the foundation still has a million-dollar endowment. But a million dollars doesn't go nearly as far as it used to. Investment proceeds from that fund provide about 18 percent of the year's budget.
"Running any kind of historic property is terribly expensive," said Nathan Gonzales, a member of the foundation board and head archivist at A.K. Smiley Public Library. "There's always something that needs to be restored, or fixed, or replaced."
Kimberly Crest is not supported by any government entity, he said, and because of hard economic times, contributions to sites of historic significance are down across the nation.
"Donors have had to tighten their belts, because they have less money coming in themselves," Gonzales said.
Tours and special events are important to Kimberly Crest financially, he said, but they are also part of the quality of life of the people who live in Redlands, who get to visit and take a look at the past, and claim that heritage as their own.
"Mrs. Shirk left Kimberly Crest to the people of Redlands, to help us understand our town's history," he said. "Stewardship of it is the job of everyone in the community."
The biggest single chunk of funding, about 28 percent of the budget, comes from special events, Parks said. Tours brought in about 10 percent last year, she said, more than in any previous year.
"Special events have fluctuated greatly over the years, but for 2013 we hope to bring in $78,000 from fundraisers," Parks said.
The foundation plans an ambitious slate:
Bridal School, March 24, which will bring top vendors to help brides plan weddings that are "memorable, enjoyable and affordable."
Princesses at the Castle, April 13, a day of regal festivities for 3- to 10-year-old girls, culminating in presentation of each princess before the royal court.
Tea on the Terrace, May 18, a French-inspired formal tea, including a house tour.
Knights of Kimberly Crest, June 30, will offer 5- to 12-year-old boys activities to prepare them for service as modern-day knights.
Bug Festival, July 21, where children can creep and crawl all over the gardens and learn about the tiny workers that keep the grass green and the flowers blooming.
Kimberly Crest Celebrates Redlands, Oct. 5.
Christmas Tree Lighting, December 8, an annual event with carolers, cider and Mrs. Shirk's ginger cookies.
Family Picnic Days planned for spring and summer will open the gardens and grounds to visitors at a cost of $5 per person, with special house tours available. Scheduled for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 14, May 12 (Mothers Day), June 16 (Fathers Day), July 14 and Sept. 15.
Private rentals including weddings, parties and meetings account for about 19 percent of the budget, Parks said. The yearly Friends Campaign covers 13 percent. The foundation also receives special contributions from individuals and organizations, and those amount to about 10 percent of the budget.
"In 2012 the Historical Society made a donation to support the renovation of our Carriage House Museum," Parks said. "The Redlands Theater Festival also generously donated a performance to Kimberly Crest last year, which we look forward to repeating this summer."
Other groups provide other kinds of support, she said. The Horticultural Society has decorated the dining room for Christmas several years in a row, for example. Kimberly Crest takes its mission into the community through participation in activities such as the YMCA Home Tour, Parks said.
Financial challenges are always a factor in caring for a local treasure like Kimberly Crest, said Gardens and Grounds volunteer Sue Totske, who also chairs the Princesses at the Castle fundraiser.
"I know that the funds are limited, and there are so many issues that need to be taken care of, but we also have a group of wonderfully dedicated people working diligently to preserve Kimberly Crest for the people of Redlands," she said. "Mary Kimberly Shirk's gift is such a treasure to Redlands, and we'll continue to strive to secure its future."
"We can't help it," Totske said. "We love the old house, and want to share it with everyone."

Tornados downed by Pacers, 2-0September 7, 2011
Bundy and Crowe combine for five shots in the loss to USC Aiken
Aiken, S.C. - Jamie Bundy and Elena Crowe both placed two shots on goal in the Tornados road opener in the 2011 season, but neither was able to find net as Brevard was downed on Wednesday evening by a pair of unassisted goals by USC Aiken in falling, 2-0.
Lizzie Graham placed the first shot of the game at the 4:01 mark for Brevard (0-3) and Jamie Bundy added a shot in the 21st minute, but USC Aiken (3-0) struck first at the 21:43 mark as Jameela Bryant found herself in a one-on-one situation against BC goalkeeper Crissy Moran and drilled home the first goal of the match in the left side of the net, putting the Pacers up 1-0.
Crowe and Bundy peppered Aiken goalkeeper Alli Edens throughout the remainder of the first half, but the Tornados went into the half still down 1-0.
Brevard attempted five shots in the second half, with three on target as Bailey Varley, Rachael Laughlin and Crowe aimed for the twine, but the Pacers were able to put the game away with a goal at the 73:55 mark as Kim Beyer put in on the back of the net, just underneath the crossbar from 25 yards out to give Aiken a 2-0 lead.
Neither team would score through the remainder of the contest as the Tornados fell for the third time in the 2011 season.
Brevard returns home to the BC Soccer Field on Saturday, September 10th, as they host Bluefield College. Kickoff between the Tornados and the Rams is set for 2 p.m.
