Line: Three stand out
Texas Tech offensive line coach Matt Moore said Tuesday that left tackle Rylan Reed, center Shawn Byrnes and right guard Brandon Carter had been his top three players during training camp. All three have consistently gotten high marks from him in workouts.
"Rylan Reed has really been a surprise, because he's been very steady,'' Moore said. "Not made many mistakes.''
Moore said Byrnes sets a tone of urgency for the line and pushes the others to work hard.
Carter didn't have any setbacks from the bad back that kept him out of spring.
"Brandon Carter really had a great camp,'' Moore said. "He's really hard on himself. He wants to be perfect. He wants to be a great player. He's been real steady all camp.''
Moore characterized Jake Johnson as the surprise of camp after the walk-on transfer from Blinn College was promoted to first team right tackle this week.
Johnson's insertion triggered a shuffling of Reed from right tackle to left tackle and Louis Vasquez from left tackle to left guard.
Get low, get low
Sophomore offensive lineman Marlon Winn, who was bumped from the starting unit this week, will back up at both left tackle and left guard.
"He was just playing a little high,'' line coach Matt Moore said. "He was getting pushed around a little bit playing a little high. He's a tall guy with a high center of gravity.
"But he didn't drop his head or stick out his lip when he got bumped. He's determined he's going to be a starter before it's all said and done, and I hope he is.''
Harrell on watch list
Quarterback Graham Harrell is one of 35 players on the watch list for the Davey O'Brien Award announced Tuesday. The award goes to the nation's top quarterback.
Other Big 12 Conference quarterbacks on the list are Missouri's Chase Daniel and Texas' Colt McCoy.
The winner will be announced Dec. 6. The award presentation is scheduled for Feb. 18 in Fort Worth, where the trophy's namesake played his college football for TCU.
Earlier this month, Harrell was one of 35 candidates named to the Manning Award watch list. The award also goes to a top quarterback.
Crowell gets the call
Robbie Crowell, manager of Tech's Football Training Facility and an assistant equipment manager, spent last week umpiring at the Junior League World Series in Taylor, Mich.
The tournament was the world championship for 13- and 14-year-olds youth baseball.
"It's probably been the biggest thing I've done so far,'' said Crowell, a Coronado and Tech graduate who has called games for 20 years.
Crowell was behind the plate for the international championship game and worked the right-field line during the world title game in which Hawaii beat the Philippines. He called 12 games in seven days.
Crowell is vice president in charge of training for the local Little League chapter.
In brief
Today will be the first day off from practice for Tech players since workouts started on Aug. 7. They were treated to ice cream after Tuesday's workout. ... Strong-side DE Brandon Sharpe remained on crutches and in an orthopedic boot Tuesday. Tech does not disclose the nature or severity of injuries.

GALLUP, N.M. (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to move radioactive waste from a former uranium mine on the Navajo Nation to a site outside of Gallup.
The EPA announced the proposal for cleanup of the Northeast Church Rock Mine late last week, which includes a no-action alternative.
The Gallup Independent (http://bit.ly/z0cIwR) reports that one million cubic yards of waste from the mine would be added to an existing waste pile at the United Nuclear Corp. Superfund site. UNC operated a uranium mill from 1977 to 1982 that processed ore from the Northeast Church Rock Mine.
The disposal is expected to cost $40 million and take four years to complete.
The Navajo Nation wanted the waste moved far from the reservation, but the EPA says that's cost prohibitive.
The public comment period closes Sept. 21.

Taschen's sexy-book editor, Dian Hanson, made a big, big splash in 2006 with The Big Book of Breasts and decided that the only way to follow up such a book was with The Big Penis Book — which, when it came out in 2008, was so popular it was even picked up by stores that had never before carried male-focused erotica. To anyone who has seen the trouser-rousing book of '70s, '80s, and '90s photos, it's not surprising that this is Hanson's best-selling title to date.
The porn doyenne is an unabashed fan of cheap thrills, including the rockets and spears — not speaking metaphorically — of 3D movies, so the decision to combine fantastic phalluses with the follow-you-around-the-room effect of 3D images was a no-brainer (and not just because these images encourage the blood to run out of one's brain in favor of other regions).
The result is a 220-page hardcover special edition, The Big Penis Book 3D (Taschen, $39.99), featuring 96 images from the original book plus eight new bonus photos, all transformed into eye-popping 3D—and it comes with a pair of red-and-blue anaglyph glasses. By design, the images from this book and its 2D predecessor are old-school erotica. "These were made as pornography," says Hanson, "without the earmarks of fine art." The images are not from the likes of artistic photographers Greg Gorman or Robert Mapplethorpe but rather from Bob Mizer of Athletic Model Guild, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Colt, Falcon, and other smut purveyors.
Taschen selected Jon Schnitzer and the Brain Factory to transform the images, due to the ingenuity of Schnitzer's technique, one resulting in an effect very unlike that of most other 3D books: The images look great with the glasses on, but the transformation is subtle enough that the photos are still very viewable without the specs. (The Big Book of Breasts 3D is available now as well, also $39.99.)
The technique, changing all color images to black-and-white before transforming them into anaglyphic images, meant that not every photo in the original book was a good candidate for 3D. Photos awash in too many gray tones didn't appear to have enough depth, and images in which an arm or leg was blocked by a flat surface or extended outside the frame often made the subjects look like amputees. Hanson recalls a call from Schnitzer in which he told her, "I know they're from the '70s, but no more hairy guys!" Hanson explains that Schnitzer had "to create a red-and-blue image for each individual hair," adding that perhaps owing to the intensity of work involved, "some of my favorite images are the hairy guys." Indeed, the devil is deliciously in the details.

TV journalist Maria Bartiromo is moving to Fox Business after being scouted by several major networks over the last few months.
The TV veteran's long-term relationship with CNBC is over as Bartiromo's contract is set to expire and she'll be looking for a new place to display her talents[1], according to Zero Hedge[2]. Since making her CNBC debut in 1993, the Brooklyn native has had an illustrious career thanks to her ability to land exclusive interviews. Nevertheless, CNBC's decline in viewership over the last few years has prompted Bartiromo to find another news niche.
Bartiromo makes a reported $2 to $3 million salary and she hopes to be an even-larger presence in the news world with Fox Business. The journalist made headlines in 1993 when she became the first woman to report from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone on Wednesday with his Russian, Turkish and Qatari counterparts, stressing the need to continue seeking a ceasefire for the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo and the resumption of political talks to end the war.
State Department spokesman John Kirby said Kerry spoke to the three foreign ministers after a ceasefire brokered on Tuesday by Russia and Turkey failed to take effect and fighting resumed.
"In all of these conversations, the secretary has stressed the need to continue to try to stop the bloodshed and violence with a meaningful ceasefire," Kirby told a briefing, adding that "whatever was announced yesterday obviously didn't survive very long due to the regime."

This water inlet valve is used in refrigerators and freezers. It is used to facilitate the flow of water from the water supply line to reach the water valve, therefore flowing into the compact icemaker mold. If there is a leak, the ice maker is not making ice or it is not dispensing water, replacing the water inlet valve can solve the issue. Remember to unplug your refrigerator from the power source before beginning this installation project. Refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for installation instructions and accurate guidance.
Original parts froze when the fridge was stored in the garage, so when we brought it in and hooked up the water supply we discovered the cracks.I used a wrench to remove the back lower cover of the fridge. attached to that cover were both the parts I needed to replace. I removed one nut each per part so they were free of the back cover. Once free I unhooked the two electrical plugs per part and reattached the new part so as not to confuse the positions of the wiring. Then I did the same thing with the two hoses attached to each part, swapping old part for new. Once connected, I reattached the new parts to the back cover and replaced the back cover to the fridge. Connected the water line and tried the ice maker and water source on the door. I didn't realize it, but the filter, located in the refrigerator side of the unit had also frozen and cracked, so I had water now pouring from the fridge! Replaced that filter, cleaned up the water and everything is working great!800 number customer service person Kim originally helped me locate the correct parts via schematic diagram, as no part numbers were visible on my broken parts. She was incredibly helpful and got the correct parts on her first guess ( she told me it was a guess but she was right on the money).
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
It was really pretty simple. You get to the back of the frig, open a panel and the valve is right there. The instructions where clear on what to do, even though the new valve was different water line connections. It was spelled out what to do. Works great and all the parts supply places would have to ordered it anyway, so I saved $ and got the valve in 30 hours to boot. Thanks
First I removed the existing copper ice maker line and then installed a plastic line. I then tried the appliance, with no change. I then removed and replace the primary water valve and then tested that as well. There was no change in the outcome. So I removed and replaced the secondary water valve and tested that as well and I noticed a significant change in water pressure, and in volume.
remove the back plate, removed the screw holding the valve, removed electrical wires and water tubing. installed new valve. very simple. also i received the valve in one day. thank you
Removed rear panel of refrigerator and disconnecterct water valve after shutting the water off and unplugging the electricity. Replacement valve waterconnections were different than the original which required modifications and problematic water leaks. I would have preferred an exact replacement part which was a better design to prevent water leaks and would have installed with no modifications
Removed electric supply, removed old filter and cut back ends of tubing one inch with sharp razor knife. Simply push in the tubing to the new valve until seats and your done. Reintall valv to plate and good to go. Instructions that came with part were great and saved 15 bucks with parts select...
After locating broken valve ordered part online.Replacment was very straight forward and directions were easy to follow. At first I was concerned about slip in fittings insted of threaded compression fittings, but they went in easy and sealed properly.Fridge was pulled out, valve replaced, water flow tested and fridge pushed back in within 30 minutes.
The location of all the ports were all in the wrong place. The mounting bracket configuration was also a problem due to the short leads from the primary valve. After installing the valve there was no flow to the water dispenser. Supply line was kinked at the valve. Reinstalled the spring in the tube, works OK. The original problem was not fixed by changeing this valve. Ordered new ice maker.
Removed and replaced in reverse order
Changed icemaker, no help. Water pressure perfect from fauset to frig. Waterfilter was replaced new. No help. Trouble shot to secondary inlet water valve which was not sending enough water to icemaker. New part had a minor modification, yet easy. No need for ice trays :))

As a medical professional, not knowing a bit of Spanish, the instructor made it easy to understand and fun to follow along by using the stories of Hector and Maria.
The course was informative and useful. I feel that I was exposed to a lot of material that will help me when conversing with my Spanish speaking patients.
I enjoyed the course immensely and will take more Spanish courses. Thanks!
This course was very helpful and had a lot of useful information in it. It was very refreshing to know that the instructor didn't expect us to know everything and be able to speak fluently at the end of the course. I enjoyed her teaching style and it made reading the lessons enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this course to my co-workers!! Great job everybody!
It was very helpful in my work as an RN. Looking forward to trying out my new language on Spanish speakers to see how well they think I did!
Thank you for this excellent course! It has been extremely helpful for me. I love your style of teaching.
Thank you for this course! It was very helpful. I'm still in the early stages of Spanish learning, and your approach, "Survival Spanish", emphasizing basic grammar/sentence structure and vocabulary learning, has helped me in ways I have not seen anywhere else. By not over-emphasizing complex grammar and verb conjugations in the beginning, it's been much easier to get a start just using the language to communicate, and build up confidence first.
I really, really enjoyed Ms. Tara! The way she involved you with the virtual families was great. There were serious moments, (those verbs), fun moments with Hector, Maria, and the Acostas and so much love with Javier and Pili. Just a wonderful, wonderful learning experience and I really did learn a lot. I always thought learning Spanish would be difficult and frustrating, but Ms. Tara made is easy and fun. Thank you so very much! Ms. Tara is an excellent instructor and I would recommend her class to anyone and everyone. Thank you!
This was the best foreign language class that I have ever taken! The content was paced well and very relevant to the health care field. The summary sheets and vocabulary lists along with the suggestions for supplemental reading were invaluable resources. The patient vignettes were fun and respected cultural differences. The teacher anticipated areas of confusion and provided guidance. I would recommend this course to any health care colleague working with Spanish speaking patients.
Wonderful course! Very approachable and not too difficult. Every person working in the medical profession who interacts with Spanish speaking patients should take this course!
Course Code: smp
¡Bienvenidos! (Welcome!) In our first lesson, you'll master the building blocks of Spanish. You'll discover how easy it is to spell and pronounce words en español. After that, you'll learn how to count from 0 to 19.

EUGENE, Ore. (KOIN) — Two University of Oregon students are being honored by the prestigious Peabody Foundation for a YouTube video that went viral.
Samantha Stendal and Aaron Blanton made the anti-rape video following the Steubenville rape case, in which two teenage football players were convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl.
The video, which has been viewed more than three million times, depicts a young man presented with an unconscious woman on the couch.
"Hey bros, check who passed out on the couch. Guess what I'm gonna do to her," he says.
However, he props the woman's head up on a pillow, fetches her a blanket, brings her water and says "real men treat women with respect."

Rudolfo Martinez, who owns the Tapa Tapa truck that can be found at Boardwalk on Bulverde, is a Culinary Institute of America graduate serving up extremely flavorful dishes that combine comfort foods in unique, playful ways. On a recent evening, he mixed watermelon and mint with old-fashioned Pop Rocks candy for a salad that gave your mouth a little extra burst of flavor.
For his shrimp ceviche, he takes fresh tomatoes flavored by serranos and mixes them with pickled onions and shrimp. He serves the mixture over pork rinds for a lively variation on this seafood specialty.
More of Martinez's food will soon be featured at Counter Culture, which is opening in a few weeks next to the Spectrum Club at 20144 U.S. 281 N. at Evans Road.
Shrimp Ceviche and Chicharrones
1 medium white onion, sliced thin
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (reserve lime peels for broth)
1 cup medium diced tomatoes
2 serranos, cut into thin coins
1 bunch cilantro leaves, torn
1 pound 16/20-count shrimp, shell on
Salt, to taste
1 bag pork rinds or chicharrones (see note)
Mix the onions in lime juice and marinate at least 6 hours (overnight is best).
Mix the tomatoes with the serranos and cilantro and perfume at least 6 hours (overnight is best).
Boil shrimp in a broth of juiced limes and water for 90 seconds.
Remove and shock in a ice water bath to stop cooking. Remove from water bath, shell and reserve meat.
When ready to serve, mix all the ingredients together, salt to taste, and serve over chicharrones. Serve immediately.
Note: You can serve this ceviche with tostadas or corn chips. Serve it on avocado halves or on nothing but a plate.
Makes 4-5 appetizer servings or 2-3 main course servings.

Orson Scott Card is one of the last century's most significant science fiction authors. His "Ender's Game" deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as work from genre masters like Asimov, Bradbury, Herbert, and Heinlein. This century though… not so much.
Look, I love Cardd but the quality of his work outside of "Ender's Game" is rather questionable. Even his attempts at continuing that series have been pretty hit and miss. The only real literary success he's had has been the novel "Ender's Shadow", which basically rehashes the events of "Ender's Game" from a different perspective. He's damned good at telling that story, even flipped upside down and told by someone else. I'm just not all that sure he's good at anything else.
Joel Silver it seems, disagrees. The Hollywood Reporter says the mega-producer has optioned the rights to an upcoming book and videogame series called "Empire" being put together by Card. It hasn't been released, he has no idea how the world will receive it, but Silver is convinced it'll be that good.
The projects will be the story of a near future where the United States is plunged into civil war following the assassination of the President and the bombing of the White House. A lone operative is framed for the attacks, and Card follows him as he fights to find the truth and clear his name.
What's strange here is that the movie won't be an adaptation of the book or the videogame. Nor is the game an adaptation of the book. Instead, each medium in which "Empire" appears will tell a different part of the story. The first book will be followed by a comic series, which will tell a different piece of the story in a different time period. Then the movie will follow that, with a different story based in the same universe of the book. Then we'll get the game, presumably to cash in on whatever hype the movie can generate. I'm sure they think this is a revolutionary new idea, but to me it just sounds terribly annoying.
The worst thing in all of this is that we're still waiting around for a movie adaptation of Card's only really worthy work, "Ender's Game". The movie's been in development forever, and though Card says he's working on it with Warner Brothers he's been working on it for nearly a decade now. Odds are Empire will beat it to theaters, and videogames, and comic books, and tattoos above the ass cracks of girls gone wild.
"Empire" the book hits shelves on November 28th, so it'll be our first chance to see what Card's up to. Maybe all the "Ender" sequels he's been cranking out lately have somehow worked him back into proper form. Here's hoping. When Card's good, he's really good.

At a relatively advanced age and on a tight budget, I've just recently bought my first high-performance stereo system: Marantz PM5004 integrated amp and CD5004 player, and Paradigm Monitor 7 speakers (the new Series 7). I'm as excited as a kid at Christmas and enjoying the new system immensely. (The closest I ever came to this before was with a hand-me-down Marantz 4240 quad, but I could never afford speakers that were good enough for it.)
Even though we have about 800 CDs (we listen to a lot of classical, world music, jazz, and folk, but also have a little rock), I'd really like to be able to listen to the few LPs I have and haven't heard for at least 25 years. Some of these are jazz and blues pressings from the 80s, lightly played on a good turntable belonging to a roommate of mine at the time. Others are from the '50s and '60s and were played for years on my dad's c. 1960 Garrard RC-88 changer. (I'm assuming the albums I bought as a teenager in the 70s are garbage, since I chewed them up on the BSR crap I had at the time.)
Can anyone recommend a turntable (preferably under $800) that would be suitable for occasional play and be able to handle less-than-perfect source material without skipping? I'm not likely to build a big LP collection--we just don't have the room for it, and having three cats means that LP listening has to be an occasional treat.
Thanks very much

Rail travel disrupted by alert
The closure of a cross-border rail link, following reports of several explosions, has disrupted travel plans for thousands of people.
The security forces searched the area near Newry, County Down, after the blasts were heard at about 0330 GMT.
About 40 miles of track between Portadown, County Armagh, and Dundalk in County Louth was closed and six train services cancelled.
A helicopter and spotter plane were used in the search operation.
More than 2,000 people were due to travel by train to Dublin on Saturday morning.
The vast majority of them were rugby fans heading to the Ireland Six Nations match against France at Lansdowne Road.
Bus and rail company, Translink, had laid on three special trains to take the fans to the game, in addition to the three scheduled Dublin services.
But as the security operation got underway, staff worked hard to come up with contingency plans.
Ken McKnight of Translink said: "We have been bringing buses from all over the province to try to minimise the inconvenience to passengers.
"They are all very understanding at what the bus companies and the railway are trying to do. But they are very, very angry at the situation."
Translink fears it could be several days before services return to normal.
The railway line only opened a few days ago after a five-day security operation on the line outside Newry.

Later the police said a bomb, thought to have contained about 100lbs of home-made explosives, had gone off.
On Friday, services were also disrupted following a security alert further up the line, between Lurgan and Moira in County Armagh.
It followed a telephone bomb warning, but nothing was found.
Last June, an explosion damaged the Belfast to Dublin railway line a few miles from Newry.
The dissident republican Real IRA was blamed for that attack.

Panaji, Sep 2 (IANS) The Panaji bench of the Bombay High Court on Wednesday asked the Goa crime branch to probe the alleged nexus between the state police and the matka gambling lobby.
The direction followed a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by activist Kashinath Shetye, who had attached along with his PIL evidence of matka gambling in various parts of the state including capital Panaji.
Matka is an illegal form of gambling that has gained immense popularity in Mumbai and Konkan region since the 1970s. It functions six days a week, virtually like a lottery, where lucky numbers are generated twice every day.
Matka's popularity stems from the fact that one can wager a bet of even Re.1. The matka industry in Goa alone is pegged at several thousand crores of rupees.
Over the last few years, several legislators have demanded that matka gambling should be legalised, arguing that it could help the government earn additional revenue.
Petitioner Shetye had argued that matka was a regular source of extortion for police, who had allowed the gambling to proliferate.
The crime branch, which has now been tasked with cracking down on matka, has been directed by the high court to file a status report on the action taken against the gambling operations every six months.

BAGHDAD, June 13 (UPI) -- The Iraqi government is called on to address the "root causes" of violence in the country, the U.N. special envoy said following several bomb attacks.
A series of bombs exploded Wednesday across Iraq ahead of a major Shiite pilgrimage Saturday to commemorate the death of Imam Moussa al-Khadhim, grandson of the Prophet Mohammed.
Martin Kobler, U.N. special envoy to Iraq, described the scale of violence as "disturbing," adding he was "deeply shocked and utterly dismayed" by the attacks.
"I urgently appeal to the government to address the root causes of the violence and terrorism that are causing so much suffering and pain to the Iraqi people," he said in a statement.
Attacks last week left at least 18 people dead and more than 100 wounded following disputes between Sunni and Shiite endowment offices over control of the Askariya Shrine in Samarra. A 2006 bombing of the mosque pushed the country toward civil war.
The latest attack comes as pressure mounts on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Critics accuse the two-term prime minister of monopolizing power.
British Minister for the Middle East Alistair Burt, in a statement, said the attacks, which targeted mainly Shiite pilgrims, were appalling.
"I urge all political blocs in Iraq to work together and focus on bringing security and stability to all of Iraq," he said.

bleed down when my boyfriend fingers me

Well, the title says it well.
My boyfriend believes his penis is not normal; he says that when it is not erect, the head will retract beneath the skin, or as he calls it, a "turtle head", because it looks like a turtle's head going into its shell.
When it is erect, it looks fine (granted I have not seen it when it's in its normal stance).
He says that he is not circumcised...Is this why he thinks he's abnormal in the nether regions? Or is it something else?

My boyfriend is circumsized, and I ahve only seen his member maybe once when it was limp. By the time I get his pants unzipped, he's already up.
as I said, my bf is circumsized, and his penis does this sometimes, especially when he is cold. It "shrinks" up and his skin covers the head of his penis, even tho he is cut.

I say her boyfriend has issues because he does. He is controlling/abusive/wants children at the age of 17 (when she doesn't) and raped his stepsister. He has issues.

Oooooommmmmmmgggg. That is so normal! I have seen my bf's several times and yes it does "hide" sometimes when it is limp! Completly normal, everyones' does it and in case some woman didn't know, a guy isn't hard 24/7 so when he isn't "happy' you can't judge his size so stop chuckling when he comes out of a pool and you catcha glimpse!!

Well, I'm a guy and I have this issue too. It's not a "getting out of the pool" thing or shrinkage, it's an all the time thing when it's soft. I'm circumsized too, so it's not that.
Anyways, I'm really self conscious about it. I wish I wasn't though.

Asked by:
R6025 - pure virtual function call
I have a vb.NET application which sometimes craches and gives the error:
R6025 pure virtual function call
this is a run-time error in Visual C++
This is followed by:
LoaderLock was detected
Message: Attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run managed code inside a DllMain or image initialization function since doing so can cause the application to hang.
And thats weird... cause I don't have any C++-code in this project. (unless NI implements in C++)
Does anybody know what could be the problem?
All replies
Peculiar. Just about every application has C++ code running somewhere because the CLR and Windows itself are written (at least portions of it) in C/C++. The LoaderLock issue is caused by someone attempting to use managed code in DllMain. When a DLL loads the OS takes a local temporarily to ensure the DLL is loaded thread-safe. However the CLR also needs to load some DLLs. Therefore if you are in the middle of loading your DLL and the CLR is then loaded it'll deadlock. This whole issue has been well documented. In fact in 2.0 I believe this issue has been resolved or at least worked around completely such that you don't have to worry about it.
Nevertheless if your application loads any DLLs then you need to ensure that each DLL does not attempt to load managed code in DllMain. Note that many ActiveX controls are written in C++ so instantiating an ActiveX control may be enough to cause the problem. The nice thing about this error though is that it should be pretty easy to track down the DLL causing problems if you are running through the debugger or if you run the application under Depends (with profiling) or another tool that logs DLL loading. The problem DLL will probably be the last DLL loaded. Of course if you are getting an actual exception then the exception should also tell you what is going on.
As for the pure virtual function error it is normally caused by attempting to use a method of a class in a DLL that is older than the public interface you wrote your code to. It theoretically can not happen if all the code is compiled because the compiler will catch such an error but with DLLs it is a little different. For example assume you create an interface called IMyInterface with a method called Foo and store it in the DLL MyInterface.dll. Now assume that you create a new DLL called v1.dll that contains a class that implements IMyInterface. Later on you extend IMyInterface with another method Bar. If you fail to update the v1.dll then at runtime when you call IMyInterface.Bar on the class from v1.dll it is an error because the function does not exist. Yet the compiler can't help you out because when you originally compiled v1.dll the Bar method did not exist.
Hope this helps,
Michael Taylor - 5/17/06

This Jeep is a great vehicle. It should not be lumped in with "SUVs". It is in a different category-it is a special purpose 4WD. It's not for hauling kids. The Grand Cherokee takes my wife and I to great fishing spots in the Rocky Mountains where only maybe a Rubicon might get farther. It has lots of creature comforts and a neat GPS system.
In snow, ice and high altitude it performs fantasticly. The 5.7 Hemi doesn't flinch pulling a load at 11,000 feet plus.

I bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2wd SUV in 1999 with 80,000 miles on it. The car had been meticulously maintained by a wealthy family, so I thought I was being smart. Guess Again!!
The car ran great for a year and then it just started falling apart.

Stay away from the 4.7L V-8 engines, and you can have a good Jeep. Find a Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV with a 318 or even a 383. The venerable 4.0 "Nash" inline six is also good. Power is adequate, if not mind blowing. It'll still tow a good sized trailer. It will get about 2MPG more than a V-8.
Handling is just fair om GJCs, but it is offset by the vehicles sheer climbing ability. While the JGC will not actually go ANYWHERE, it will get you into some unbelieveable places (and back out)… Read Full Review

I am from the UK and have purchased a 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4.0LITRE PETROL STRATE 6 with 51.000 miles. I have had the car for 2 weeks and the following has had to be replaced

Front brakes

front off side light cluster

near side window switch replaced

radio decided to pack up

controls on the steering wheel dont work

both front heated seat option dont work

wing mirrors dont fold in

front off side break caliper replaced

heating is intermitant. when being on for 20 minutes the vents decide to blow out cold air

under bonnet light dont work (not the bulb)

has a constant pull to the left hand side

cruse control dont work

AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON.................

surely in this day in age a company as large as these should NOT be having these problems.

When is someone going to take note that when you pay a large amount for these types of vehicles you shouldnt be having these problems. TOYOTA, MITSUBUSHI, NISSAN, AUDI, VW, etc etc dont have these amount of problems with their vehicles so why do these

If you have £1,000,000 and more to spare you may be able to afford to keep on replacing the parts that break down time and time again......

I would strongly not recomend this vehicle. if you have £35.000 for a new one i would buy something else.......................
Written on: 31/05/2015
Most if not all of these faults must have been there when you bought it. While not everything can be checked when you buy, the lesson is to to take nothing for granted when you buy used, whatever the brand name.

I suspect the gentleman from the U.K. bought a vehicle that had been abused. All of these problems, obviously, did not occur after two weeks but were present at the time he bought the vehicle. Autos can be trashed and sounds like this one was. I have had good performance and reliability from all my vehicles, including my Jeep, but I do tend to them. Machines have to be maintained and engines do not last forever.

I have a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.0L Inline 6. The car has 160,000 miles and runs just like it did when I drove it from the dealer.

Had to replace the exhaust header, brakes, normal repairs. In the last 2 years I put maybe $ 1,500 for repairs and maintenance. It beats 35K for a new one.

Yea, the rear wiper motor just went and I need to fix that and the A/C is concerning me right now but all in all--great car.

I will make the repairs and give the car to my daughter who is at MSU. I'll bet the engine is good for 250,000 miles. It is too bad it is not offered in the Cherokee any longer. This is our 3rd of 4 Jeeps in the family.

You bet the 4l engine good for 250,000 miles. I have a Jeep XJ (1994 Cherokee) now up to 265,000 with no problems. I decoked it 100,000 ago (should have replaced the exhaust valves but didn't as there was a long order time). Those engines had a superb reputation.

Elija Nyabuti finished the men's 13.1-mile half-marathon before some runners even got across the starting line.
That shows the magnitude of the field of 25,000 runners at the inaugural Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon, which started runners in 36 different groups.
The fact that Nyabuti finished before everyone started also just how fast he is.
Historically fast, it turns out.
Nyabuti finished the half-marathon in a time of 1 hour, 5 minutes and 14 seconds, one of the fastest half-marathon time in state history. The previous record of 1:04:51 was set in 1977.
Pat Rizzo finished second in 1:05:34, a personal best, and stayed with Nyabuti until the ninth mile.
"He dropped me even though I ran two straight 4:55 miles," said Rizzo, who lives in Detroit. "That shows you his wheels were moving."
Nyabuti is Kenyan, and he currently lives in Ohio, and he was the only runner to break a Washington state record at Saturday's event. The winning times in the men's and women's marathons were each more than 3 minutes off the state record.
Berhane Adere, a former world champion from Ethiopia, pulled away in the final mile of the women's half-marathon and one in a time of 1:11:19, which was 71 seconds off the state record.
Isley Gonzalez, who just graduated from Washington State, was the first American finisher in the women's half-marathon. It was her first half marathon, and just months after racing college opponents she found herself in a race with world-renowned Adere, who won the prestigious Dubai Marathon just last year, and Nuta Olaru, a former Olympian from Romania who finished second Saturday.
Gonzalez finished nearly 9 minutes behind Adere, who has won the Chicago Marathon twice, and is using the prize money from racing to build a hotel in Ethiopia.
Adere arrived in Seattle on Thursday afternoon, and her 14-year-old son Alem watched the race aboard a flatbed truck that stayed ahead of the leaders in the marathon.
The marathon course diverged from the half-marathon course between the eighth and ninth mile so he couldn't see his mother finish. Someone aboard told him the results, saying his mother had won.
"Really?" he said.
Yep. There wasn't all that much doubt about it. Adere stayed with Olaru until the final mile and then pulled away, winning by 24 seconds.
The information in this article, originally published June 27, 2009, was corrected July 1, 2009. The men's half-marathon record was incorrectly listed as 1:05:43 before Saturday's inaugural Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon based on erroneous information given to The Seattle Times. Therefore, Elija Nyabuti's winning time Saturday of 1:05:14 did not break the record, as was listed Sunday.The fastest men's half-marathon run in Washington was Bill Glad's time of 1 hour, 4 minutes, 51 seconds at the Red Brick Road Half Marathon in Redmond in 1977, according to the Washington State Records Committee. Glad's run came before courses in the state were certified.

WASHINGTON - Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean on Wednesday defended his recent harsh criticism of Republicans, including his observation that they are "pretty much a white, Christian party."

Dean noted that he, too, is a white Christian. But he said the GOP is too narrow in its scope and the Democratic Party is far more diverse.
While even prominent Democrats in recent days have distanced themselves from some of his comments, the outspoken Dean, appearing on NBC's "Today" show, said criticism of him by Republicans is meant to divert attention from the country's problems and make him the issue instead.
Dean told a forum of journalists and minority leaders Monday that Republicans are "not very friendly to different kinds of people, they are a pretty monolithic party ... it's pretty much a white, Christian party."
Judge holding men in teen's disappearance
ORANJESTAD, Aruba - A judge ruled Wednesday there was sufficient cause to keep holding two former hotel security guards in connection with the disappearance of an Alabama high school honors student.
The decision means authorities may hold Nick John, 30, and Abraham Jones, 28, for nearly four months while prosecutors investigate possible murder and kidnapping charges in the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, defense attorneys said. Neither man has been formally charged.
Attorney General Caren Janssen confirmed the decision handed down at a closed hearing at a police station where the men are jailed outside the capital of Oranjestad.
Holloway, of Mountain Brook, Ala., vanished May 30 while on a five-day trip with 124 classmates celebrating their high school graduation on this Dutch Caribbean island.
Senate confirms Brown for judgeship
WASHINGTON - The Senate on Wednesday confirmed California judge Janice Rogers Brown for the federal appeals court, ending a two-year battle filled with accusations of racism and sexism and shadowed by a dispute over Democratic blocking tactics.
The 56-43 vote to confirm Brown to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia followed an agreement that averted being a showdown between Republicans and Democrats over the filibustering of President Bush's judicial nominees.
Immediately following Brown's confirmation, the Senate began voting on ending a filibuster of former Alabama Attorney General William Pryor - the last of the three nominees Democrats agreed to clear in exchange for Republicans not banning the stalling tactic.

Washington DC (SPX) May 31, 2007
A majority of consumers said they would pay more for clean energy because it is good for the environment, according to a recent survey conducted by the Energy and Resources industry group of Deloitte. "The most dramatic finding was the growing willingness of electricity consumers to pay higher costs to use fuels that are less damaging to the environment, including coal, if delivered as clean coal," said Greg Aliff, vice chairman and national managing partner, Energy and Resources, Deloitte and Touche USA LLP.
A total of 62 percent of those surveyed said they would willingly pay higher electric rates for clean coal, and 54 percent said they would pay more for alternative energy sources.
"More than half of U.S. electric generation is based on coal, and support for clean-coal solutions could have a significant impact," stated Branko Terzic, Regulatory Policy Leader, Energy and Resources, Deloitte Services LP.
"We were surprised at the increasing level of support from consumers, but the findings remain mixed," added Terzic. "While more than three quarters of the consumers surveyed believed that alternative energy brought benefits, 42 percent would not pay an additional 5 percent on their electricity bill to support government mandated alternative energy purchases."
Key findings
When asked about the public benefits of the use of alternative energy sources, the respondents overwhelmingly said that the environment (86 percent), U.S. energy security (80 percent) and new job creation (76 percent) would benefit from alternative energy use.
These consumers would also have no problem with alternative energy facilities within "sight of home" with 83 percent accepting wind farms and 86 percent accepting solar panels.
Consumers were split on nuclear energy. About 46 percent of those who pay electric bills would support the building of a new nuclear power station within 20 miles of their communities while 48 percent would not.
Overwhelmingly 44 percent of the respondents cited "environmental" as the primary motivator when it would come to the purchase of alternative or renewable energy. The factor of "price" was the second most mentioned motivator (30 percent), followed by "energy reliability" (15 percent) and "jobs creation" (8 percent).
More than 70 percent of respondents said they were familiar with the terms "alternative" or "renewable" energy. Respondents were most familiar with solar (89 percent) and wind (73 percent) followed by ethanol (59 percent) and hydro (58 percent).
As used in this news release, the term "Deloitte" includes Deloitte and Touche USA LLP and its subsidiaries Deloitte and Touche LLP, Deloitte Consulting LLP, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP, and Deloitte Tax LLP.

When visitors come to Colorado, they flock to the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, to FlatIron Crossing, to Castle Rock Factory Outlets. Those shopping meccas are among the state's top five tourist attractions, according to a study released last month by the Colorado Tourism Office. But if visitors ventured just a little further afield -- to any of these five very individualistic achievements, for example -- they'd remember Colorado as much more than repetitive chain stores and endless asphalt.
Bishop's Castle
Unlike Europe, the United States is short on gaudy, extravagant, tourist-attracting castles. Since 1969, though, Jim Bishop has been doing his part to fill the void, one stone at a time.
When he was just a kid, Jim's parents bought him a two-and-a-half-acre plot of land off Highway 165 outside of Beulah, where he and his dad started building a cottage. Thirty-five years later, Bishop is still building that cottage, which has now grown to a 160-foot-tall castle with two towers, a fire-breathing dragon, a balcony that wraps around the structure, stained-glass windows, an iron bridge -- and no construction plans.
The signs that Bishop has posted outside his castle are just as remarkable. In one, he rants: "This Planet Should Be Renamed the United States of America I Do Not Believe In One World Power -- This Is Problaby the Only Real Answer Places Like Japan Germany & Iraq Should Be Taken Now." They should be taken, Bishop explains, because they started a war with us. "It's part of the one-world power," he says. "From the Illuminati to the Knights Templar, Hitler, Janet Reno, Bill Clinton, Sadass Hussein, Osama bin Eradicated, Yassir Arab-crap. If they want one-world power, why not call it the United States of the World? I don't believe in that imperialism crap. Why the United Nations of the World? Why not do it the right way?"
Not that Bishop is a big fan of this country's government. He's run afoul of the law by taking rocks from national forest land, by making the castle a non-profit organization, by renting it to an out-of-hand wedding party. "The government knows they're all crooks," he says. "They steal, squander, mismanage. They're incompetent, they waste tax dollars, they're against great patriots like me. They're of the devil!"
By now, Bishop's Castle has grown from a mere construction project -- grandiose though it may be -- to proof that the government can't control its creator. "They tried to tame this Indian! They're not going to tame me," Bishop insists. They're certainly not going to make him observe zoning laws: Although Custer County prohibits buildings above 25 feet, the castle was grandfathered in because Bishop started on it before there were zoning laws, he says.
Now in his sixties, Bishop recognizes that the castle may never be completed -- but he says he's already made his mark, since the castle symbolizes the success of a high school dropout who was told he would never amount to anything. "I'm the great castle builder!" he concludes. "These two hands with the help of God built all of that. If Donald Trump wants one like that, he's gotta set aside his money and build it with his own hands. All the money in the world ain't gonna duplicate that."
Cano's Castle
Antonito is best-known as the northern end of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, but one man thinks he can beat the train as the biggest attraction in town. Cano -- his name is derived from the word "Chicano" -- has already built four castles on land he inherited from his grandmother. They're not as substantial as Bishop's Castle, but they've been enough to keep him busy for 25 years.
"It was hard to find work out in this rural area where there's no economy or prosperity," Cano explains. "You don't want to work for the farmers or ranchers because they don't even pay minimum wage, so you're on your own. I didn't turn into a drug addict or alcoholic, because this is what I got into."
He also got into what he calls Vitamin M. "Mary Jane is my inspiration," he says. With dope fueling his design plans, Cano has built what he calls the King, the Queen and the Palace, plus a fourth castle known as the Rook, the Horse and the Knight. "Seven years ago, I looked at it, and it started looking like chess pieces," he explains. (To those low on Vitamin M, the buildings look remarkably unlike chess pieces.)
The King, which is the only structure that Cano allows people inside, is a four-story tower adorned with aluminum cans and hubcaps, with windows made from shards of glass that Cano collected at the dump. The second story of this castle is "Jesus's Casita, for when he's around the locality," Cano says, adding that all of his castles are a shrine to Jesus, and "if you don't know Jesus, it's your loss."
Inside the chess-piece castles are small rooms decorated from floor to ceiling with an aluminum quilt of more than 100,000 beer and soda cans. Cano used to go out on Saturday nights to collect the cans, but now he just waits until Sunday morning. "My mom used to tell me, 'I don't know of anyone who can hold a bottle in one hand and a hammer in the other,'" he says. "If only I had another hand."
Most of his construction materials were either donated or scrounged. "I cleaned Antonito up," he explains. The Palace, where he resides, is lined with old bottles; the floor is covered with hand-me-down rugs. More donations adorn the rest of the property, which features a cross made of Keystone Light cans and a prophetic cement cookstove studded with marbles that predict events, Cano says, including 9/11. "This one has yet to happen," he adds, pointing at one group of marbles. "Maybe the Santana will come, or maybe something might happen in Iraq. This is a long path, but it's supposed to be something positive, kinda."
Now that his four castles are constructed, he plans to keep sprucing them up. He wants to add a deck to the Palace in hopes of attracting "princesses and princes" and maybe more tourists -- and their wallets. Mary Jane and God willing, that is. "It was God that made them," he says of his masterpieces. "He already proved to me two or three times that he was making them, not me."
Swetsville Zoo
It all started with Buzzard George. During a break from farming and firefighting back in 1985, Bill Swets started building an exotic creature out of a mower guard, a bike fork and an old shovel. "It took an hour or so," he remembers, "and I thought, 'There ain't nothing to this.'"
Swets went on to build the other 170 sculptures that now inhabit his Swetsville Zoo, on Harmony Road just south of Fort Collins. "I was a fireman for 22 years," he says. "That's how a lot of them got built. I'd come home in the middle of the night, and after a suicide or something, you can't sleep."
His favorite is the dinosaur band called "Two and One Half," which plays what he calls "heavy-metal junk." But he's also partial to "Eggy," a hatching dinosaur, and a two-headed dragon known as "Puff." Gazing at Puff, Swets outlines one of his artistic predicaments: Theoretically, the dragon's wings aren't big enough to hold up the weight of its body. "I did a lot of research," he says. "Dragons breathe fire; everyone knows that. Well, since they breathe fire, their whole belly is full of hot air, so they float. They just use their wings for propulsion."
"There's a little bit of hot air that goes on around here," he notes, walking off.
Swets's sculptures have gone through several phases during the past two decades. He spent a few years creating musical instruments, built something for each of his grandsons, and is now concentrating on vehicles. Autosaurus, a thirty-foot-long violet dinosaur/automobile with power steering, power brakes and a Ford V8 engine, is his latest. Sitting in its mouth, a driver can rev the work up to 90 mph. But Swets, a stickler for safety, says he never takes it over 30.
Other vehicles include the Dinocruiser, which Swets says is for moving dinosaurs, and Cinderella's Carriage, which is pulled by an 8-horsepower mouse. "I thought I'd cover him with indoor/outdoor carpet because it looks like fur," he explains. "But it's all compound curves. I'll tell you, I had more trouble with him! The mechanical part was easy compared to the upholstering!"
Before he began creating sculptures, Swets built bicycles, including a ten-person unit that local firemen brought out for parades, and unicycles that his sons used to make pick-up basketball games particularly challenging. One inventive bike has two parallel seats, a huge set of handlebars and no way to turn. "If you pedal backwards," he points out, "that sucker'll cut doughnuts."
Wonder View Tower
"Guess what this is?" Jerry Chubbuck asks, holding what looks like an oddly shaped rock. "Here's a hint: A dinosaur is heading south; this comes out his north end."
The petrified poo is the first item in Chubbuck's "Guess What" game. If you get all of the answers right, he'll give you back your one-dollar admission. But since the rest of the questions involve a nasal douche, a chicken-killing tool, glove stretchers, a whip holder and Chubbuck's favorite, a magician's knife, he usually gets to keep his money.
Chubbuck's complete collection of odd items is housed in the Wonder View Tower, a sixty-foot-tall structure that was the highest point between Denver and New York City in 1934. At the time, Ripley's Believe It or Not also confirmed that from the top of the tower on clear days, you could see six states: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, New Mexico and South Dakota.
The tower was built in 1926 in Genoa, a town ninety miles east of Denver along what's now I-70, by Charles Gregory, who was known as the "P.T. Barnum of Colorado." (Never mind that Barnum himself had lived here decades earlier.) In addition to the highest point in 2,000 miles, he also constructed a dozen other rooms and created a popular dancehall/restaurant/roadside destination. "It was a really busy place back then," Chubbuck says.
Chubbuck, who was born in nearby Arriba, bought the complex in 1967, when his farming and ranching business took a turn for the worse. He added more rooms to hold the arrowheads he'd been collecting since he was a kid, and turned the entire place into a huge gift shop and repository of rare goods. His million-piece collection of artifacts, bottles, books, paintings, puzzles, old tools, rocks, picture frames, bullets, bowls and figurines stretches across 22 rooms, including five rooms in the tower. "If it ain't here...it don't exist," promises Wonder View's brochure -- and the place delivers.
Pointing to a 165-pound piece of purple quartz, Chubbuck says, "I'll give it to you if you can put it in your pocket." He doesn't make the same offer with the Civil War buttons -- "the kind they used in Dances With Wolves," the two-headed calf, the white rattlesnake or the one-eyed pig preserved in formaldehyde.
"I need to get more formaldehyde," he says, "but they won't sell it to me, because people use it in meth labs."
UFO Watchtower
Wonder View Tower may once have been the highest point east of Denver, but Judy Messoline has set her sights a lot higher.
After moving from Golden to the San Luis Valley ten years ago to raise cattle, Messoline learned of the area's high concentration of UFO activity. "I always watched The X-Files, but before this I knew nothing about it," she says. And since she didn't have much success raising cattle, in May 2000 she built the UFO Watchtower outside of Hooper. Since then, there have been 31 UFO sightings in the area -- and Messoline's been in on twenty of them.
In one instance, witnesses claim to have seen two lights moving quickly until the one in front stopped to allow the second to catch up, and then they shot across the sky together. In another, a couple said they'd spotted some sort of aircraft go right into a nearby mountain. "I can't tell you if they're little green men, but it is bizarre," Messoline says.
The tower consists of a ten-foot-high metal observation deck above a geodesic dome that serves as a gift shop, stocked with alien paraphernalia and books including Messoline's own work, That Crazy Lady Down the Road. The facility also includes a camping area for people who come to spot UFOs, and a rock garden that Messoline says many people consider to be a healing place, where they can meditate about problems in their lives.

When a pair of tourists look disbelieving, Messoline encourages them to walk through the garden and feel its energy. Their skepticism may be directed more at the two vortexes, or doors to parallel universes, that she says are also in the garden. Messoline discovered the vortexes when a man shone his high-powered flashlight into the sky above and light spiraled over two specific spots. Since that night, more than twenty psychics or particularly intuitive people have identified the vortexes, she says. The psychics also confirmed that two large beings protect the entrances.
"There have been phenomenal results from people just going in and asking for help," Messoline says. "I don't care if it's aliens, angels or God himself. If it helps people, it's good."
Tourists and psychics aren't the only ones who visit. "A lot of times people will come to talk about their abduction experience or UFO experience, or being an extraterrestrial," she says. "They just don't want people to make fun of them. I ask them why they're here, and they say they're here to help people get to the next dimension." While it might be easy to dismiss their claims, Messoline points out that it's harder to ignore the fact that some people who say they're ETs look so similar that they could be twins.
"Sometimes I'll lie awake at night just trying to figure this out," she adds. "You see this stuff, and there has to be an explanation. So far, nobody's been able to come up with one, but it's been fun."

So is it safe to say it is ready to use? Also is chilli a bad idea for the first use of the dutch oven? I have read that acidity foods are not good for the dutch oven until it has a heavy seasoning. I am also to sure how acidity chilli even is lol. Thanks for any help

For more than 40 years, politicians in Washington have been promising that they will improve public education. But decades of growth in federal expenditures and ever-increasing federal involvement have failed to deliver meaningful results. Millions of children continue to pass through the nation's public schools without receiving a quality education.
Fresh off a historic presidential campaign, our country has a rare opportunity to turn the page on yesterday's failed policies. Fortunately, we can thank Florida for providing a blueprint for how best to move forward.
Perhaps no other issue affects our community more than education, with Hispanic children making up a considerable percentage of the students enrolled in the nation's public schools. This is particularly true in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, where Hispanic students disproportionately outnumber non-Hispanics.
There's bad news, though. A recent study by America's Promise Alliance and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pegged the graduation rate for New York City Public Schools in 2003-2004 at a paltry 45.2 percent. This means that one out of two students is dropping out. Studies show that Hispanic children are even more likely to drop out of high school than their peers.
Failing in high school limits a young person's opportunities. Not earning a high-school diploma closes the door to countless opportunities for success and prosperity. In an increasingly competitive workforce, a high-school diploma is essential to get ahead.
For policymakers, the approach during the last few decades has been to pour more federal money into the public-school system in the hope that test scores will improve. This approach is exactly the one President George W. Bush's used in the landmark "No Child Left Behind" law.
Unfortunately, while the new Congress and president-elect are likely to offer a number of reforms and tweaks to the existing bill, they'll probably keep the formula about the same, essentially accepting the status quo. Given the bleak situation in our public schools, such a decision would be a real missed opportunity.
The time has come for a new approach. And Florida is showing that state reforms can deliver meaningful improvement, especially for Hispanic students.
Since 1999, thanks largely to the leadership of former Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida has implemented a series of aggressive reforms to improve public education. The results are impressive. On the National Assessment of Educational Progress, Florida's students have made dramatic progress -- improving well ahead of the national average. Importantly, the biggest gains have been made by Florida's Hispanic students.
In fourth-grade reading, Florida's Hispanic students are now outperforming the statewide average of all students in 15 other states, including California and Tennessee.
How did Florida do it?
The state has held public schools and students accountable for results through quality testing. The state ended social promoting, requiring youngsters to pass the state's reading test in third grade before they could move to the next grade. It implemented merit pay for teachers -- providing bonuses to schools and teachers that succeeded in boosting students' learning. Most importantly, Florida has gone further than any state in giving families the power to choose the best public or private school for their children.
Congress, the president-elect and the incoming Secretary of education have a real opportunity in the next few months to change the way our country confronts the current education crisis.
Instead of repeating the failed policies of the last few decades, federal policymakers can shift control from Washington, D.C. to the states, and implement reforms to enable the same kind of state-level reforms that have proven effective in Florida.
States with growing Hispanic populations (such as North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Colorado) should look to Florida as an example of what has truly worked. Our community must become more engaged on this issue and hold our elected officials accountable for the sorry state of our country's education

postfix or exim work good for smtp. I only use courier for pop3/imap.
Genlee, (is that short for General Lee of the confederates?) anyway, Can i set this server up to send and receive using my personal domain such as mydomain.com
I hope you understand what I mean. Or does it just retrieve from say earthlink and forwards to your mailbox,
plz clarify.
I have never done this myself but is on my list of things to do .It is indeed possible to do this.
Set up SMTP and POP as necessary
You also need to get an mx record on a DNS server so that all the mail send to you can be forwarded to your mail server. All the mail to yourdomain.com will arrive at your mail server.
You probably want to talk to the people that created a DNS entry for your domain.
Sendmail server is versatile for this purpose. For this u have to set up ur domain name,
using NAMED server or u can put ur entry in ur local dns server. Then configure ur sendmail
server. Good docs r available in the net.
Sendmail is also great for having monthly exploits. If you miss updating windows, I suggest you install sendmail.
