Transformers Universe Drops Repair Mechanic in Newest Patch
This past weekend, Jagex polled its Transformers Universe players on their opinion of the death and repair mechanic in the game, stating concerns about players dropping from matches instead of switching bots due to repair costs.
It seems those poll results are now clear, as Transformers Universe has launched a new patch that eliminates the repair mechanic entirely from the game.
The removal of the repair mechanic means players no longer have to repair when they die in battle; instead, they will be given the option to respawn at the map spawn point or to return to the Hangar, but will have all shield, spark, and Powercore systems intact. Energon can now be used instead to craft consumable items. This also means that repair packs have been removed, and all existing repair packs will be replaced with Relics. Founder and Starter pack repair packs will be replaced with new prototypes and augments.
The patch also removes the PvP auto-queue, improves the fanfare screen, and makes multiple fixes and tweaks. You can read the full patch notes, and leave your comments for the developers, here.

Mayhem # 1343356
About MeI've been doing photography for 15+ years, specializing in portraiture, and love it! I can't imagine doing anything else that gives me the option to work with people, be creative and laugh all day long. I have just moved to MN from Connecticut, so I'm discovering all sorts of new places to shoot. Have a cool place in mind? Let me know!
In addition to several "Photographer of the Year" awards, I have earned the "Certified Professional Photographer" status. The CPP program is recognized throughout the photographic industry as a mark of excellence. When you see a photographer displaying the CPP seal, you can be assured that he or she is among the less than 3% of all imaging professionals who have successfully completed and maintained the requirements. Those who have earned the CPP designation pass a comprehensive written exam measuring their technical expertise and successfully submit their work to a panel of expert judges for review and approval.
I earn my living as a professional photographer, so I have to really limit the TF shoots I do. I'm always open to new ideas, so please feel free to ask! If you have a really creative idea or something "outside the box", I might be interested - please don't hesitate to ask.
TF Policy: I hate policies and "rules", but am finding I have to list some. My schedule is pretty busy, so please have something unique in mind. I typically schedule shoots for 1-2 hours, so please don't ask me to spend an entire day shooting unless you're willing to commission me. If I agree to a TF shoot, I will edit the images and send you a CD. I will retain the copyrights to the images, but will send you a release so you have full use of the photos.

It's tough to imagine Faith Hill married to anyone other than Tim McGraw. But once upon a time, before all the fame and success, Hill was married to another man.
Daniel Hill revealed the real reason he and the country superstar split during a 2007 interview with Good Housekeeping.
In 1987, Faith moved to Nashville at the age of 19 to pursue her career in music. Daniel, Faith's first husband whose last name she continues to use spoke about that fragile time in her life.
"I can't begin to understand what it was like for Faith back then," says Daniel. "There were monumental changes happening in her world at that time, personally and professionally."
Little did Daniel know, he would play a huge part in her life. After meeting with the young talent he said, "I was immediately floored by her presence, and I hadn't even heard her sing yet."
Soon Daniel and Faith were married. According to Nashville business man and recording artist (Faith's friend and former boss) Gary Morris it seemed to be a perfect fit.
"Faith was a devoted wife to Daniel," says Gary. "It was one of those things where she said, 'I'm marrying one time,' and this was it and he was the guy."
But not everything was what it seemed. Faith was beginning to become frustrated with the music industry, and even considered chasing another dream - interior design. She also began the search for her birth mother, which opened an entirely new chapter.
Faith admitted, "The first time I met (my birth mother), I just stared at her. I'd never seen anyone that looked anything like me. It was the awe of seeing someone you came from. It fills something."
Faith was able to find closure from the past after meeting her birth mother. As she turned her back on the past, she also let go of everything she knew before the life altering experience.
She was able to move on with her life, but unfortunately for Daniel, that included divorce from what had become a strained marriage.
"Meeting her birth mother had a profound impact on Faith, which led to a profound failure of our marriage," Daniel said.
The couple split in 1991 after almost five years of marriage. Of course as we all know, Faith met her now husband of almost two decades Tim McGraw on the 1996 Spontaneous Combustion tour, and the rest is history.
Faith hit #1 for the first tim in the midst of her growth as an artist in 1993 with "Wild One". Watch the official video below.

If you're like me and believe that adding cheese to anything increases its awesomeness 100X, then you'll love this tip.
Use a knife and cut the cube in half. Just peel the cover off using the edge along which you've just made the cut. It'll come off all in one piece and you won't have to worry about cleaning up those tiny shreds of plastic. Ta-da !
Note : I learnt this tip at a dhaba, while waiting for my Cheese Kulcha. Needless to say, it was heavenly.

Swift Creek Lookout (1.85km turnaround) (#6 on hiking map)
- Difficulty: Easy/Medium
- Warnings: *A bear was spotted in late June and early July. Be sure to make noise as you hike/bike and are familiar with what to do if you encounter a black bear or a grizzly. Check social media feeds below for current trail status updates
- Wheelchair accessible: No
- High-clearance 4×4 advised to access trailhead? No
- Best seasons: spring, summer, fall
- Distance (return): 3.7 km/ 2.3 mi
- Approx. time: 1hr
- Elevation gain: 120 ft/37 m
- Steepest grade: approx. 25%
- Viewpoints: Several, both along the river and once you start climbing. 180 degree views from the top of the hill of Canoe Mtn, the Premier Range, and the Village of Valemount.
- Geocache points: Unknown
- Closest bathroom/outhouse: Centennial Park or the Learning Centre on 5th Ave.
- Cell service? In parts; Not comprehensive
- Gear to bring: Bring 0.5L water/pp and mosquito spray
- How to access/where to park: 1) The trailhead begins at the bridge over Swift Creek. From the info centre, head east on 5th Ave, turn left on Dogwood St. Just after crossing the tracks, take another left. Just passed the bridge, the road widens. Park on the west side of the road. Or from downtown, head east and cross the train tracks; turn left and drive 2km; park on the far side of the bridge. The trailhead begins on the east side of the bridge – you'll see a sign that you're entering a Watershed Management area. The descent is steep and sandy. Click here for Google Map Directions.
- Best Parts: The views are wonderful for this relatively short hike. Walking along the creek is incredibly peaceful. You can ski or snowshoe the trail in winter. You can sometimes spot Sockeye salmon spawning in the creek just below the weir during September. Keep yourself and your pets out of the water as not to disturb the delicate salmon nests.
- Worst Parts: There are some very steep sections that are sandy and it's hard to grip unless you're wearing good hiking shoes. Hiking poles are recommended for these sections. Watch out: bears are sometimes spotted along this trail during spring and summer. Be sure to make lots of noise so you don't surprise them and they have time to leave to avoid an encounter. The mosquitoes are bad during the summertime – but nothing a little mosquito spray or net shirt can't handle!
Trail Description:
A popular trail among locals, this trail begins as a wide flat gravel trail that follows Swift Creek for 1km, then veers left into the woods and works its way steeply to a viewpoint. You can continue on this trail for a 10km loop (Swift Creek Loop) or turn around at the viewpoint. The views are excellent for the shortness of the hike – More than 180 degrees with views of Canoe Mtn, The Village, and the Premier Range. You can sometimes spot bright red and green Sockeye salmon spawning in the creek just below the weir during September. Keep yourself and your pets out of the water as not to disturb the delicate salmon nests. Chinook salmon are more commonly seen closer to the Info Centre in Swift Creek and usually begin spawning in mid-August.

text: Hi, I have the above DVD head unit with a IP300V Ipod connection lead. What i'm having problems with is when I play music videos through the unit, all is fine until I turn off the stereo or the ignition, as when I turn the stereo on again it just comes up with no Ipod video signal, and has started playing normal music from my playlists. In other words it seems to have no video memory, but if im playing music from the Ipod then turn the unit off when i turn it back on then the music starts from the place it was tuned off from. Is there something im missing. Any help would be great thanks. Chris

simple 301 redirect
Pardon the noobishness of this question. I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to redirect ANYTHING sent to url a to url b. For example:
I need to have any request sent to blog.sitename.com/blogname go to secondurl.sitename.com/blogname/otherpartofurl The problem is I get the base url to redirect perfectly. If someone has a favorite pointed at blog.sitename.com/blogname/2011/11/this-post is still goes there instead of being passed to secondurl.sitename.com/blogname/otherpartofurl. I'm not worried about adding the rest of the url to the new url, I just want anything sent to that first url to land at secondurl.sitename.com/blogname/otherpartofurl. I saw some code changes to the plugin that sounded like they might do what I want but being really more of a server guy and less of a php guy I wanted to ask before I sterated jacking around with code.
Is this possible and would the code changes accomplish it? If they do then how would I add the url to the simple 301 redirection plugin (example so I am not mistaken, please)
As always, thanks for your help and consideration.

Top Ten Jungler Champions In League of LegendsNumber
The Top Ten
Jungle rengar just get to the top of wrecking face again, season 4 he made badass damage, but with the smite's slow, he's badass even pre 6
Ult gives massive opportunities for ganks, tankiness, viability, great abilities and self-healing. Recommended for jungling.V 1 Comment
Lee is good he has very good skills he is very good at early game with his ganks and early big damage. But he falls down late that's so annoyingV 2 Comments
The early ganks too stronk and the outrageous dueling capability makes it easy to get your lanes fed
Elise just has an extremely flexible build, able to go AP Runeglaive or Cinderhulk tank, and her cc combined with her harrass from the spiders makes her a tier 1 jungler after her most recent buffs.
She owns a team without pinks
Because the last hit
WW is awesome. Nice jungle clear time, nice speed boost, nice attack speed boost, he is tanky, he gains health, his ultimate is awesome for ganking. What if I already used the ulti, you have a speed boost, and you can build something to slow others. He peels the other team too.
He is good as he have a easy clearing time and if you wanna get fed, just don gank for like forever and just farm and farm and when you are full build you can pretty much burst anyone you see even if he is like the tanker. My usual build will be bloodthirster, infinty edge, static shiv, phampton dancer, blade of ruined king and ravnous hydra. This build is awesome to me as it is super duper bursty so ya.
Master Yi can farm in the jungler really good and with the ult can Master Yi a really good gang do.
It's no English is that.
Guys can someone tell me who heve best combo for nocturne please
Kha'Zix can make someone go from 100-0 in a second.

uPads are highly absorbent insert pads for use in uPants, Weenees Pouch Pants or any close fitting garment which will snug the pad close to the body, or they can be secured using the Eenee Stretch Gripper Belt.
IMPORTANT NOTE Re Large size has a new wider waist with shaped pad for comfort. Fit these with the narrow pad section towards the front.
The current production batch of Large only includes a non-compostable dispersion layer which was added in error. This does not compromise the function but does impact our high standard of being fully compostable and we are working with the factory to ensure future production is back up to our fully compostable standard!
The waterproof layer is breathable to help prevent sweating and the double elastic leg guards help prevent leakage. uPads are commercially compostable and have been made with sustainable materials so they minimize their impact on our environment.
Interested in saving up to $48 whilst getting your uPads shipped to your door? Check out our subscription options:
Eenee Compostables (uPads) are the only disposable endorsed by Compost Australia as suitable for commercial composting.
If available in your area, 'recycling' our compostable pads through commercial composting is just one of the many benefits. Please support us by using our compostable nappies and this will help us in our initiative to encourage all Councils to provide this service. A list of Councils already accepting Eenee Compostables (uPads) in the household green bins can be found HERE

House Sitter in Key West
I am a former teacher of thirty-five years and have been coming to Key West for many years. I am familiar with this area and currently spend one month each year here. I can house sit short term or long term, would do errands associated with keeping the home "lived in". Would prefer not to clean house, but love pets and plants and would be willing to care lovingly for both. I can provide many excellent character references as I am new to the House Sitting community!

It's been a pleasure writing this story and reading your reviews. Sadly, it's come to an end. Hope you guys love this final chapter and review. Farewell!
Chapter 16: Epilogue
Two weeks has gone by since the baby was born. It is Christmas night. The Christmas tree with it's beautiful white lights lit the livingroom dimly. Michelle lay asleep on the love seat. The arm that dangled off of the side of the couch held a brand new Spongebob doll. House and Cuddy both lay on the sofa. House's arm was wrapped around Cuddy's waist. Cuddy lay on her side and was snuggled up really close to him. They both were staring at the tree full of opened presents. Baby Chris slept quietly in his cradle on the side of the couch.
"I am never going to spend that much money on toys again," House said. Cuddy smiled.
"Sure you will. The kids will beg and beg for everything on their Christmas list. Then they'll finish it off with their famous puppy dog eyes. You won't be able to resist." House sighed and smiled. He leaned closer to Cuddy and rested his head on her shoulder.
"We'll you're going to be the person they push around a lot. If I say no about something they'll just ask you, and you'll give them anything they want."
"No I won't," she said turning over and laying on her back. House smiled and kissed her tenderly on the lips. Cuddy wrapped her arms around his torso and pulled him closer to her. Before they could get any farther, Chris started whining. House sighed and rested his forehead on hers.
"I'll get him," Cuddy said moving to get up.
"No you're suppose to be resting. I'll get him." He climbed over her and landed on the floor. Then he walked to the side of the couch and knelt down next to the cradle. "Shhh buddy," he said lifting him up. He walked and sat down on the floor in front of Cuddy.
"There's mommy," he said lifting the baby up to Cuddy. She grabbed him and rocked him back and forth in her arms. Chris quieted down and looked up at his mother. Cuddy smiled and kissed him on the forehead.
"He's okay now," she said as she continued to rock him.
"Yeah," House said. He stared at Cuddy totally hypnotized. He realized that right then, he felt something deeply for her. Something that he couldn't explain. It was the first time in his entire life that he was speechless. Cuddy noticed his daze and snapped him out of it.
"Greg." He turned his attention back to her and smiled. He grabbed her hand and caressed it gently in his.
"Lisa, remember in the hospital I told you that only one thing could make our lives perfect. She nodded her head and smiled. House sucked in a deep breath before continuing. "The past months have been great. The greatest months of my life. Michelle has a mom now, we have a new baby in our lives, and everything at the hospital couldn't be better. But the best thing that happened... is that we finally got together. I've been dreaming of this since the moment I first met you. Your beautiful smile and grace took my breath away."
House paused and stared deeply into her eyes. "Greg, what are you trying to say?" she asked slowly. House smiled and reached for his pocket. Inside, was a velvet box. What sat inside, was a diamond incrusted gold ring. There was a heart in the middle that shined brightly from the lights on the Christmas tree. Cuddy opened her mouth in shock, speechless.
"Lisa Cuddy, I love you with all my heart. Will you marry me?" Cuddy sat on the couch stunned. Her eyes swelled up with tears that gently rolled down her cheek. Quietly but surely, she nodded her head.
"Yes. Yes, of course I will. Yes." House smiled widely and pulled her into a big hug, watching out for Chris in her arms. He pulled back and kissed her firmly on the lips. Then he slipped the ring on her finger. Cuddy smiled and took a good look at it.
"House... I can't believe this."
"I can. I love you, Michelle, and Chris so much that I want to be there for you guys for the rest of my life."
"Take the baby," Cuddy said suddenly. House looked at her questioningly but obeyed. He took Chris and laid him in his cradle. When House turned back around Cuddy stood in front of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss. House admmediately responded by wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting her up into his arms.
"I love you so much," Cuddy whispered into his ear.
"Me too," he said sitting back down on the couch. Cuddy sat on his lap. They stayed like that for awhile until they saw Michelle shuffle and sit up. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Come here Michelle," House said holding his hand out toward her. Michelle slid off of the couch and onto the sofa next to her father.
She snuggled up close to him to get warm and soon fell asleep again. Cuddy laid her head down on his chest and closed her eyes. After a few minutes he noticed that she had fallen asleep also. He looked at the two girls sleeping in his arms and then the baby boy sleeping in the cradle. He then at that moment realized... that anything was possible.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: put in new ac blower fan and new module and fan still does not work. on 2008 Buick Lucerne
fan will run if I bypass module
| |
Did you get the same style of module that originally was there. There is one for manual a/c and different one for Auto a/c. Double check.
Yes I did.Do you think that the new module that I bought may be bad?
| |
It sure can be; let me check something, be right back. Check the B+ voltage at the red/blk wire on the module, should be 12v, check the black wire for a good ground. The B+ comes from the fuse box under the rear seat, fuse #48, mtr 10amp. Also look and see if the terminals in connector to the module are not burned or discolored. I Will be in and out, Honey do's, will respond as soon as I can. What did you find out?
Sounds like module but check your control switch before you head back to the parts store though.
| |
First things first!
OK I checked out the ground wire and is ok. Checked out fuse and also ok. Will try tomorrow for a new module before I try the switch on dash. Thanks
| |
Does the connector to the module have discolored terminals at the red/blk or black wire ends. Sometimes I have to replace the connectors as well, because of bad connection to module. I know is a lot to ask just trying to make sure module is bad.
the connectors to the module look OK. Thanks
| |
OK let me know
Didn't find what you were looking for?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan became the first victim of the New York Giants' collapse in 2009.
Coach Tom Coughlin dismissed the rookie coordinator late Monday afternoon, just hours after saying that Sheridan's future with the team was going to be evaluated in the wake of an 8-8 season that ended with losses in eight of the final 11 games.
THE HUDDLE: Furious Giants owner promises changes
The firing also came the same day that co-owner John Mara vowed to make changes after seeing the season end with two embarrassing losses in which the Giants were outscored 85-16.
The defense struggled this season, giving up 427 points, ranking it third from the bottom in the NFL. Only the Detroit Lions and St. Louis Rams gave up more points. Opponents scored at least 40 points in five games, the first time that has happened to the Giants since 1966.
Neither Sheridan nor Coughlin was immediately available for comment, but Sheridan said last week that he expected to return, noting he felt he did a competent job in a year where the defense was hurt by injuries to middle linebacker Antonio Pierce, safety Kenny Phillips and cornerbacks Corey Webster and Aaron Ross.
Defensive end Justin Tuck said earlier Monday that changing coordinators would mean that the defense will have to get used to another person and possibly another system.
"Obviously, everybody is held to a higher standard, especially here," Tuck said. "We expect to be in the running for a championship every year. When that doesn't happen, you've got to look at yourself and look at the people around you. I am speaking as far as staff. You make a decision for whatever it may be, we will deal with it when the time comes."
Sheridan was elevated from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator after Steve Spagnuolo became the Rams' coach. Spagnuolo was the architect of the defense that led the Giants to a Super Bowl win over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots in February 2008.

In an interview with Wild 94.9's Nessa he revealed that he partook in his favorite past time throughout his wedding day.
"It was crazy. We was cutting up. And we was smoking weed the entire time," he said.
He also explained how much he loves speeding time with his son, Sebastian.
"Yea I get to chill with my son, I be missing my son. He is the man. Girls love him," he said.
"Now he's got this thing where if I call him, I say 'Sebastian, come here' and he'll be like 'coming!' Yea…at 18 months. It trips me out."
He also weighed in on his wife's new twerking video.
"We going to do a new one over 'Ass Drop,' that song that's on the album. She was like 'Dad can I do another twerk video?' I was like, 'Yea you good.'"
As far as his music goes, he's hoping to get a big name to agree to his next collaboration.
"Madonna. She's dope. I just like what she stands for," he said.
"I feel like her attitude and her spirit, we share the same views on life."

Quotes Edit
- Mal: I haven't interacted with people in so long… it's HARD to socialize, even if it IS fake and directed towards an annoying brat with a brain the size of an acorn.. and the functionality of one too.
- Robert: I've never favored dodgeball. We're not expected to play it at MY all private boarding school. We played fifty two pickup, but for rich kids. It's like the actual game, but with fifty dollar bills.
- Mike/Mal: (mumbles) Good to have you back, Bridgette. (She nervously steps back. He puts an arm around Cody, it nearly puts him in a headlock) I'm so relieved that we still have an intact team ready to take down the villains. I have NO doubt that we'll win as long as we stick to Hale's plan.
- Harold: … It's… Harold.
- Mike/Mal: (bops himself in the head) HA! Sorry. The game is just getting to me. Andrenaline, you know? (Harold smiles and agrees, but remain's suspicious)
- Abigail: (nods profusely) Nothing but support, people! HEROES ON THREE! ONE. TWO. THREE! (Only Harold, and Abigail scream "HEROES") … Um…" Can someone say AWKWARD?
- Leshawna: What's he doing?
- Robert: Rubbing the dodgeball on your shirt won't wash away the uncleanliness. Might I suggest industrial soap and- (Cody holds up the ball. It's now teeming with electricity. Static electricity)
(Robert and Leshawna throw some dodgeballs. They attract to the ball Cody electrified. The wind keeps the electricity moving, which makes it stronger. They hit the ball he holds in the air. Cody then throws the ball at Leshawna and Robert. It's an electrical storm)
- Leshawna: OH!
- Robert: CRAP!(They get hit. It shocks them both. They lay on the court covered in soot)
- Alejandro: I have been made a fool out of for the LAST TIME! I will win this game with Heather by my side! … And Duncan is starting to irk me.
- Chris: Or what's left of him. (Blaineley angrily picks up a dodgeball. She throws it in Chris' face. He screams in a high pitch voice and starts crying)

I appreciate talented people
The talented person I appreciate today is our friend/piano teacher who was able to create a new bodice piece for our daughter's dress! It didn't take her long either. She looks at it, fits it on my daughter, plays around with it and voila! At least we know how she did it if we run into something like this again.
Comment deleted
I know, me too, Lisa. I made my girls Liberty Day dresses when they were little and they turned out fine but now that they are developed in the chest...totally out of my element. I can do skirts but any dresses for myself (a whopping total of 2) I had help of experienced seamstresses. I've never tried blouses, started them but didn't finish them when the older girls were little.
ooo...looks great! Glad she was able to help!
Looks nice, glad she was able to help.
B plans to finish up her dress today. She got the wrong size zipper so she can get everything done but the zipper until we get back to Jo-Ann's. I'll be sure to post the finished product once she'd done.
Hope they have the right zipper.
She mistakenly got a 9" (right color and I think that's what she was focused on) but needs a 22", quite the difference in length!
Oh wow that's quite a difference, she must not have been paying attention to the size.
Very nice! good friends with talents are truly a blessing!
uh oh...did they get it fixed?
We didn't make it to Jo-Ann's over the weekend, but she got the bodice done, her mop cap and she was putting the ruffle on her sleeves today. It took her three tries with one because she kept lining it up wrong, but she finally got it and is excited! I'd say she'll be done in a day or two, except for the zipper.
Oh so glad that you are almost done... so nice to see the fruits of your labor!

A runehammer is a magic +1 warhammer that is made from darksteel. It contains the ability to cast a spell once per day, but the spell is the same each time, stored in the head of the hammer in the shape of a rune, giving the item its name. There are three common types of runehammer: Alhalbrin (heat metal), Faerindyl (burning hands) and Thundaril (polymorph other into either snail or toad). Depending on the type of spell stored, the hammer can be worth between 11,000 and 18,000 gold pieces.[1]

Rusty Whitney
This is a work in progress.
Comment by Dave Moursund. The following is quoted from Collected Editorials, a book I wrote in 1985:
- The first issue of the Oregon Computing Teacher lists Keith Garrett, David Moursund, Mike Neill, Kay Porter and Rusty Whitney as editors. I served as editor-in-chief and did the work of drawing material together, preparing it for publication, and getting it published. The first issue of 42 type-written pages contained a variety of articles, including two by me. I consider them to be my first two editorials and they are included in this collection. They provide interesting insight into what were considered to be the critical computer education issues of 1974. The contrast, or lack of contrast, with more recent times is instructive.
Back in those "good old days," I often attended meetings hosted by Rusty Whitney at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland, Oregon. It was there that I first encountered a microwave oven. Rusty brought out a tray of donuts and other sweets, and told us we could warm them in the microwave oven. He cautioned us that 15 seconds was all it would take to make a cold doughnut quite warm. Needless to say, I was mighty impressed! Also, it was clear Rusty had fun showing off the new technology.
SPACEWAR - by Stewart Brand - Fanatic Life and Symbolic Death Among the Computer Bums. This is a 12/7/1972 article in Rolling Stone. Quoting from the article:
- Finally, there are starting to be places where one can step in off the street and compute, and some of these have newsletters, games, etc., that they can send you. Write to:
- Bob Albrecht, People's Computer Company, Box 310, Menlo Park, California 94025. (Publishes an outstanding newsletter on recreational and educational uses of computers. $4 for 5 issues/year.)
- Bob Kahn, Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720. (16 terminals available at 50 cents/hour. Publishes a newsletter, Kaleidoscope; has some interesting games.)
- Rusty Whitney, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, 4015 SW Canyon Road, Portland, Oregon 97221. (Public access computers. Has better software for the PDP-8 than DEC has. And has new PDP-11.)
- Bill Mayhew, The Children's Museum, Jamaica Way, Boston, Massachusetts 02150. (Public access computer games.)
Quoting from an OMSI President's Report of Summer, 1985:
- My next visit with Michael was in Portland, Oregon, where he had become the Director of OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry a Museum that I had long admired. Why? First, Oregon Software originated there. This company was formed by a group of students and their physics teacher, Rusty Whitney, who wrote a Pascal compiler on the PDP-11 in the basement of OMSI. Ten years later the company is alive and thriving. Second, OMSI pioneered in computer- based exhibits and had a very good working relationship with the electronics firms in the Northwest.

We recently got a NAS and I want to test a new policy that uses the NAS as a file server for profile folders and general access. On the two changes I'd like to do to test this, M$ has failed me.
First, I want to have one user from my organization removed from the general policy. Second, I'd like to duplicate my existing policy, change appropriate paths, and apply it to this sole user.
First, I cannot restrict one user from the general policy. In GPM I've gone to Delegation -> Advanced and under this user I've hit 'Deny' on 'Apply Group Policy.' The policy still applies as before. I've ran gpupdate /force and rebooted several times.
Second, something I've found is new in Windows 7 (?), there is no ability to copy an existing policy and paste it elsewhere. It appears it is impossible to duplicate a policy in the current version of GPM, where this feature existed before.
Help on either or both of my problems is much appreciated.

Just testing on my GPMC running on Win 7 (using the Win 7 SP1 RSAT pack), and there is a copy/paste for GP objects that will duplicate a policy.
Also, why not create a new OU and test user, link your new policies there and then see if they work, that way you dont need to mess around with any sort of delegation or fancy stuff.
Jun 23, 2011 at 9:31 UTC
Create a new OU with a new policy as the only one applying to it. This can then be tested when you move a test user to it.
Jun 23, 2011 at 12:25 UTC
Or, create a new GPO with the security restricted to that user. Reorder the GPO's in the OU so the new GPO applies after the default. You don't necessarily need to duplicate the settings in the new GPO, just add the changes.

How to Grow Sprouts-A Quick Overview
Sprouts, Living Nutrition
I became interested in sprouts when I began eating raw, living food. I had cut out all the grains in my life because the only ones I knew of were either processed or needed to be cooked. I was buying green sprouts in the supermarkets, but they were expensive and always went bad.
I didn't know anything about how to grow sprouts, but they were often mentioned in the recipes I read. So, I decided to research it. After my research I began and found out that it is actually very easy.
Sprouts can be leafy greens, beans, nuts and grains. I will start with leafy greens. The obvious are the Alfalfa, Clover and Broccoli. These are common items in the produce section of supermarkets. You can also sprout radish, cabbage, mustard and more.
These go from seed to sprout in 4-5 days. The first thing you do is soak the seeds. I have an item called an Easy Sprouter that makes every step very easy. Put in about 2 tablespoons of seed. Cover them with 2-3 times their amount of cool water. Let them soak for 6-12 hours.
When they are done soaking, rinse them well in cool water. It is important to rinse them until the water is clear. The Easy Sprouter is two cups, one inside the other. The interior one has holes in the bottom to allow drainage, the outer is solid. I rinse the seeds using both cups, and lifting the interior cup to drain. I do this until the water is clear in the outer cup, usually about 7-10 rinses.
Next, drain the seeds very well. I shake the interior cup (not using the outer cup) over the sink. I shake and shake, spin the seeds, shake and shake. I put the interior cup back into the outer, cover with the lid that is included and set it on my counter. I read alot of recommendations to set it in a dark cupboard, but I find my counter works fine and I don't forget to rinse them.
Now you just rinse and drain 2-3 times a day and let nature take it's course. It is important to rinse until the water is clear and to drain well. Make sure the water is not too hot, keep it about 60-70 degrees F. It should feel cool, not cold, not warm, to your skin.
On the second or third day the sprouts will be intertwined with each other. Use your clean finger to gentle loosen them and declump them. I will fill the cups with water half way and work through the sprouts with my finger. This will keep the sprouts aerated and draining well. (My daughter will begin eating the sprouts right out of the sprouter at this point.)
It is amazing that the 2 tablespoons of seed will grow into a crop of sprouts that fills the container. I end up with 2-2 1/2 cups of sprouts. I was paying $1.59 for the same amount, and having some go bad each time. I paid 6 or 7 dollars for a pound of the seeds. For the price of 4-5 cartons of old, fairly tasteless sprouts, I now have a supply of fresh, extremely tasty sprouts that will probably last over a year. I have made several batches (2 months of constant growing), and my pound is barely dented.
I have a small salad spinner that I use to dry my sprouts before putting them in the refrigerator. If you don't have one, let your sprouts air dry for about 8 hours before putting them in the refrigerator. Sprouts keep better if they are not wet.
Beans are a good source of protein and excellent to eat when sprouted. You can sprout them as much or as little as you like. Beans, grains, seeds, and nuts have living enzymes present after their initial soak. The enzymes are dormant until you soak, they then come alive!
I use a hemp bag for sprouting beans. This is a very simple style of sprouter. I have a shelf with hooks over my sink, so I just hang the bag to drain after I rinse.
Pick through you beans before you soak them. It is possible that small pebbles or sticks may be in them. I put about 1/2 of a cup of beans into my hemp bag. I then place it in a bowl covering it with 2-3 times the amount of cool water. Soak the beans for 8-12 hours.
After soaking I rinse the beans, still in the bag, in the bowl. I run water into the bag and swish it around alot so that the beans float and roil around. I do this until the water is clear. Then I hang the bag, and repeat 2-3 times a day. I like my bean sprouts with about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sprout tail on them. My daughter likes them as soon as you can see the sprout.
Bean sprouts are done in 2-4 days, depending on how sprouted you like them. They keep well in the refrigerator and taste great on salads. Beans are also wonderful all by themselves. I love the lentils, my daughter's favorite are the peas. Both are slightly sweet and crunchy and delicious.
I use my Easy Sprouter to sprout small grains, such as quinoa, and the hemp bag to sprout larger grains, such as wheat. Grains usually take 1-3 days to sprout. The methods are the same as previously mentioned. Soak about 2/3 of a cup of grain in 2-3 times the amount of cool water. Then rinse and drain 2-3 times a day until they are done. Grains are generally sweet and taste good for breakfast.
One thing to remember about grains is that they are very starchy. You need to rinse, rinse, rinse and rinse. Make sure the water is clear. This takes longer that with leafy greens or beans, but it is well worth the effort.
Nuts are not actually sprouted, but are considered "soaks". Eat them when the narrow part bulges, but no actual root appears. I use my hemp bag for nuts. I soak almonds for about 8 hours. Drain and rinse once and start eating them. Sunflower and Pumpkin I soak for an hour, drain and rinse and eat. Nuts are very quick and easy and taste more vibrant after soaking. They are still crunchy, just not so hard.
Beans and leafy sprouts will keep for a few weeks in the refrigerator. Grains and nuts begin to taste bitter after 3-4 days. I cannot say exactly how long, because they are always gone from mine in about 2 days. You, your family and your friends will love sprouts, so start sprouting and live healthy!
Our favorites are mung bean sprouts---they add fantastic flavor and crunch to salads and stir-fries!
Great information-- I'd like to reference this in my sprouting hub, If you don't mind.
This is awesome info! I just sprouted my first thing last week and it was lentils. I didn't really like them that much plain so i am trying to decide what to do with them. Haha. I need recipe ideas or something. I'm going to try some different things for sure now.
Great HUB...I just started sprouting and let me tell you it is very exciting seeing a seed grow into nutritious live food. I have become very passionate about sprouting and I can't get enough. Just a heads up I came across some more really great info at
Surprisingly, but once you try to grow sprouts, you really get hooked! It happened to me to, and I know I'm not the only one..I guess because they are easy to grow, tasty and it's much cheaper to grow them then to buy, sprout are growing in popularity : )
kari, I will have to go dig out my sprouter from the back of the cabinet. I never thought of doing the big nuts too. Great crunchy and nutrititous info here and thank you!

Hello hello - just a quick post today of this outfit I wore back in Boston. I love a stretchy knit blazer as an alternative for suiting, for when you want to look put-together without being too formal. Mine's several years old, but I've listed out other knit blazer options towards the end of this post!
BR sloan fit pants are undoubtedly some of my favorite bottoms for both work and casual wear (see on me in numerous outfits). They're dressy enough for client meetings, yet comfortable enough to lounge around or travel in - I've spent many a plane rides in these, as they're stretchier than jeans! A while back I saw an updated "new sloan fit" style available, and finally got a pair to compare.
I'm happy to report this updated fit addresses some of the small issues I had with the old pair. The most noticeable difference to me is a narrower lower leg and more tapered fit by the ankle opening, with no more unnecessary bottom slit. You'll notice several of the unhappy reviews relate to them feeling smaller than the former version, so please size accordingly. My usual size 00p is still a tad loose on me at the waist like with the previous sloan-fit, but nothing that can't be fixed with a belt. These are listed as dry clean only just like the previous sloan pants (which I ended up shrinking in the machine washer & dryer), so please let me know if you've tried washing & drying the new ones at home and how it worked out!
Material composition is still the same as the former sloan pants, but another difference is there are two real front pockets on the updated version instead of one small coin pocket on the previous one. I dug up measurements from years ago (pre-shrinking) in order to compare to the new fit, which looks very similar except for at the ankle:
New sloan fit 00p: 13.5" across waist, 17" across hips, 7" rise, 26" inseam, 5" across ankle.
Old sloan fit 00p: 13.5" across waist, 17" across hips, 7" rise, 26" inseam, 5.5" across ankle.
And here's a few other knit blazer alternatives I've found, each for under $100:
- Under $60: Olivia Moon knit blazer in gray, black, or navy. Comes in both regular and extended petite sizing with good reviews.
- Under $100: Ava knit blazer with navy stripes in regular XS - XL, or Express textured knit blazer in ivory or black, available in regular XXS - XL.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- China has become a major area of focus as we embark upon the final months of 2011. With macroeconomic concerns weighing heavily across the globe, fears of a "hard landing" for this global economic growth engine are once again making the rounds.Slowdown fears will likely present a challenge for ETFs designed to target the Chinese equity markets. For some funds, however, this may not be the only hurdle standing in the way. In addition to hard landing fears, investors learned late last week that the U.S. Department of Justice had opened up an investigation into accounting irregularities found at Chinese companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges. This is not the first time that U.S.-listed Chinese firms have faced scrutiny from regulators. In 2010 an investigation led by the Securities and Exchange Commission looked into Chinese reverse-mergers. Much is still unknown as to where the current probe will lead and it will be interesting to watch how the case progresses. A Reuters report suggests that "criminal charges may be brought in addition to civil proceedings." From an investment perspective, news of the investigation has weighed heavily on a handful of firms. During the final week of September, Chinese companies trading on U.S. exchanges like Baidu ( BIDU) and Sohu.com ( SOHU) fell 13% and 18% respectively. Despite these regulatory hurdles, for ETF investors, China is not entirely off limits. Gaining exposure safe from the ongoing investigation, however, will require a keen eye. The U.S. ETF universe boasts a wide collection of funds designed to provide investors with exposure to the Chinese companies. Not all are created equally, however. Rather, although they are both headlined by primarily large-cap companies, given their respective indexing strategies, a fund like the iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund ( FXI) will likely be affected differently than the PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio ( PGJ). Of these two funds, FXI is the best suited to handle the current scenario. The fund takes aim at the Chinese marketplace, targeting companies like China Mobile ( CHL), China Construction Bank, and CNOOC ( CEO) using securities that trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Worst case scenario: a Class 4 outbreak of Solanum leads to the destruction of civilization as we know it. But what happens to the world left behind? After the Zombie Apocalypse creates a planet overrun with undead, the balance of the natural world will be thrown into chaos.
The artificial structures humans made cannot last forever. Everything that people have built requires regular maintainance to remain running and intact. When zombies wipe out most of humanity, these things will fall into disarray.
The first attackers against human structures are the undead themselves, as they tear through houses, cars, and everything else to get to their prey. The next immediate threat is the military, which will be called on to fight the zombies. As with every other war, this will lead to the destruction of buildings and vehicles as they try desperately to defeat their enemy. In extreme cases, this can lead to wholesale bombings of entire cities, completely leveling them.
The buildings that remain intact are subject to the forces of nature. Rain, snow, wind, temperature, and other environmental factors will constantly attack them. With people, these effects were kept in check and fixed before damage was done. Without people, not so much.
Water has the power to destroy many things. Against wooden houses, untreated water exposure causes the buildup of mold and fungus. This rots the wood and makes it prone to breaking. Against metals, it destroys through the process of corrosion. This is when, exposed to water, metals oxidize and produce rust. Rust weakens the metal and makes it unable to support what it is holding. This can happen through rainfall or being nearby a water source, especially the ocean. This is a hazard to everything made of metal, though many large buildings will be able to stand for decades. Flooding can also destroy, as its sheer force running into obstructions can rip them away. One of the most powerful forms of water is ice. When water freezes into ice, it expands. If water is trapped inside cracks when it freezes, it has the power to drive it further apart. This can be can weaken support for buildings and damage roads.
Plant life has the power to bring buildings down. Everyone knows that things like vines are cut down so that they don't cover up a house. Without people, they will completely engulf it within a few short years. As with ice, plants can do damage through cracks. If seeds sprout in even tiny openings, it can open up the crack as it grows.
The most resistant to nature are hardened structures. Things made of concrete, stone, and granite are naturally strong against natural deterioration. Towns and cities with the best chances are those in very hot and dry or very cold climates. With water, plants, and moisture being a building's worst enemy, the dry desert will slow natural degredation. In cold and snowy places, the constant low temperatures nearly encase them against the outside world.
While the natural world will work to take back the former lands of humans, the damage might not be wholesale. A Solanum outbreak lasts for three to five years or longer, and then the dead completely rot away. While homes and buildings are damaged by the weather and environment, it would take longer (tens or even hundreds of years) for most things to completely collapse. This leaves many large and abandoned structures relatively livable for groups of survivors in an empty world.
While humans had inadvertantly taken their toll on their surrounding environment, zombies will have a more direct impact, especially on wildlife. After towns and cities are infected and survivors either lay low or flee, the undead will wander into the wilderness. Thousands or even millions of zombies will employ the same hunting techniques against animals that are used on people; small numbers locate prey and moan, which attracts others in a chain swarm. A horde of zombies can do great damage to a herds of animals.
All animals can sense Solanum and their first reaction is to flee from it. Only in certain instances will they fight back, such as being cornered or to defend their young, but mostly they will run. This will have devestating effects on animal populations, as constantly moving hordes displace them from traditional migration patterns and breeding grounds.
While virually all wildlife can run faster than humans, the ability of a zombie to never get tired remains. Animals will keep running from the undead and get exausted while the zombies will pursue until their target looses them or is caught. This is a similar hunting technique used by wolves and other long-endurance carnivores--just at a much slower pace.
Solanum turns people into ravenous killing machines, but not other creatures. If an animal is bitten or infected, it will simply die and nothing else. This makes their situation even more dangerous, as a zombie simply has to catch and bite and animal to kill it, instead of needing to overpower and devoure it. This also inhibits the ability of most predators to defend themselves if caught. Most predators rely on their jaws and teeth for attack and defense. If they bite a zombie and ingest infected blood, they will die even if they escape.
For obvious reasons, the natural winners in a zombie apocalypse are scavengers. Vultures, crows, and ever-present flies will have an abundance of food sources from human and animal corpses alike. Flies and decomposition bacteria are no exeption to Solanum's repelling effects. They can only indulge on the dead after a zombie's brain is shot or destroyed and the virus becomes inactive without a host. Once the virus dies the bodies become ordinary dead organisms, free for the living to scavenge flesh off of.
On land, the undead will sevearly reduce the numbers of wildlife, and some may be driven to extinction. Not just from being hunted and driven from their land, but the wider effect of the entire "food web" of an ecosystem being displaced. Most likely to survive are microbes, many small insect species, many flying creatures, many borrowing and sub-terrainean animals, and those who can live in trees and not need to travel on the ground.
One of the least affected areas from zombies would be the oceans. The undead do not require oxygen from air, so they can walk into water without drowning. On land masses, this gives them the ability to cross lakes of rivers. However, that is pretty much their only advantage in water.
Zombies can walk into the oceans like anywhere else and survive, but their actual impact is minimal. The repelling effect of Solanum is felt even here, driving away sea animals. They do not have the brain power to swim, so they are unable to catch most swimming creatures. Zombie coordination is bad on land, so it is even worse against the force of water. Their eyes cannot see clearly while submerged, depending in the visibility of the water. Their additional senses of smell and hearing are virtually rendered irrelevant. One danger of walking into the ocean is that infected blood from open wounds will seep out. Infected blood is normally thick and congeled, but can leak out from being wet. But with Solanum's repelling effects and the virus's inability to survive in the open environment long outside of its host, the damage is minimal.
Zombies are immune from saltwater corrosion, but not the sea's other powers. Most ocean water is cold, and long amounts of time submerged will severely restrict their already resricted movement. If they can get to deep water, they will be subjected to increased pressure, either pinning them to the ocean floor or crushing them entirely. This makes the possibility of a zombie moving from a major land mass to and island far off the mainland extremely difficult, if not impossible, unless brought there by some other means.
While coastal sealife would be damaged from zombies, most of the ocean would actually benefit from a zombie apocalypse. With the pressure of human overfishing removed and the undead's inability to effectively hunt sea animals, there would be an explosion of fish populations. This can provide an abundant food supply for the small numbers of remaining survivors.
The effect on the oceans depends heavily on the number of surviving human refugees. In World War Z, displaced peoples fled to water for protection. Large groups settling on islands and trying to survive from them would lead to stripping of sea life and resources around the area. A Class 4 outbreak would leave fewer people alive to need support, limiting the overall impact. As in civilized times, the greatest negative effects on the world's oceans will come from living people.

Russian Church sanctifies North Pole
September 13, 2012
The capsual includes a small plate with the inscription: "With the blessing of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All of the Rus, the consecration of the North Pole marks the 1150 years of Russian Statehood", a press release from the Church reads.
The Church consecration took place as part of the major ongoing Arctic-2012 expedition, a mission organized by the Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute. The capsual was dropped to sea by Bishop Iakov of Naryan-Mar in a ceremony attended by both expedition leader Vladimir Sokolov and ship Captain Oleg Shchapin.
As previously reported, the Arctic expedition left Murmansk with the nuclear powered icebreaker "Rossiya" on 8 September. On 13 September, the vessel reached the Pole point, and the expedition subsequently continued through Arctic waters towards the site where the drifting Russian research station "North Pole-39" will be replaced by a new facility.
Like the historical planting of a Russian flag on the North Pole seabed in 2007, the recent symbolic, but still highly politically motivated, Church consecration illustrates the current major Russian drive on Arctic issues. Commenting on the Church ceremony, Bishop Iakov says the consecration of the North Pole is of importance not only for the Church, but for "all of Russia", and that it symbolizes the Russian state efforts on "the return of the country's former positions in the region".
"The Russian Orthodox Church in all possible ways supports this process", Bishop Iakov underlined.
Bishop Iakov was in early 2012 appointed leader of the Naryan-Mar and Mezen diocese. He has from before attended several Arctic and Antarctic missions and will be part of the whole ongoing one-month Arctic 2012 expedition.
