"Tea is the taste of my land : it is bitter and warm, strong, and sharp with memory. It tastes of longing. It tastes of the distance between where you are and where you come from. Also it vanishes -- the taste of it vanishes from your tongue while your lips are still hot from the cup. It disappears, like plantations stretching up into the mist. I have heard that your country drinks more tea than any other. How sad that must make you -- like children who long for absent mothers. I am sorry."Little Bee
"Horror in your country is something you take a dose of to remind yourself that you are not suffering from it. For me and the girls from my village, horror is a disease and we are sick with it."Little Bee
"Nkiruka loved music and now I saw that she was right because life is extremely short and you cannot dance to current affairs."
"Our TV was just a wooden frame around where the screen used to be, and the frame sat in the red dust underneath the limba tree, and my sister Nkiruka used to put her head inside the frame to do the pictures.

"I thought that would be pretty too, and I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers what us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived."Little Bee
"The war was four years old. It had started in the same month my son was born, and they'd grown up together. At first both of them werre a huge shock and demanded constant attention but as each year went by, they became more autonomous and one could start to take one's eye off them for extended periods. Sometimes a particular event would cause me momentarily to look at one or the other of them - my son, or the war - with my full attention, and at times like these I would always think, Gosh, haven't you grown?"Sarah Summers O'Rourke
"I could not stop talking because now I had started my story, it wanted to be finished. We cannot choose where to start and stop. Our stories are the tellers of us."Little Bee
"Compromise, eh? Isn't it sad, growing up? You start off like my Charlie. You start off thinking you can kill all the baddies and save the world. Then you get a little bit older, maybe Little Bee's age, and you realize that some of the world's badness is inside you, that maybe you're a part of it. And then you get a little bit older still, and a bit more comfortable, and you start wondering whether that badness you've seen in yourself is really all that bad at all. You start talking about ten percent."Sarah Summers O'Rourke

By Stephen Schramm Staff writer
WINSTON-SALEM - North Carolina senior offensive guard Jonathan Cooper described the first postgame speech Larry Fedora gave after a loss as North Carolina's coach as "surprisingly positive."
"We understand what went wrong, we're not going to change a thing," Cooper said of the themes Fedora touched on following Wake Forest's 28-27 comeback victory.
"We're going to come back, we're going to have our day off Monday. Tuesday, we're going to work hard. Wednesday, we're going to work hard. Thursday, we're going to polish."
Sylvester Williams was among the Tar Heels that Fedora was addressing. But he admitted, he wasn't really listening.
"To be honest with you, man, my head was somewhere else when he was talking," Williams said. "I really didn't . feel the words."
On Saturday night, it was easy to talk about what improvement needed to spring from the Tar Heels' shaky performance. How easily the Tar Heels will be able to make it happen, remains to be seen.
"This is the first form of adversity that we've had as a football team in 2012," Fedora said. "So we get to find out a little bit about who the Tar Heels are going to be."
A week ago, the famously intense coach had a near-flawless debut. His no-huddle spread offense tormented FCS foe Elon while the defense posted a shutout. But after the game, he went to great pains to tamp down expectations.
After Wake Forest exposed several areas of concern, he likely won't have that problem heading into next week's trip to Louisville.
A week after the Demon Deacons managed 195 yards through the air in a 20-17 victory against Liberty, - also of the FCS - Wake Forest quarterback Tanner Price carved up North Carolina's defense, throwing for 327 yards. He was sacked once.
"That's going to be interesting to see on film," Fedora said when asked how the Demon Deacons were able do such damage in the passing game. "That's a good question."
The Tar Heels were without running back Gio Bernard, who Fedora said opted to sit after experiencing discomfort during pre-game exercises. His absence was glaring when the Tar Heels drove into the red zone late in the third quarter and early in the fourth but only came up with field goals that left them leading 27-21.
That set the stage for Wake Forest's eventual 93-yard drive that ended with Price's 2-yard touchdown run in the final minutes.
Nearly half an hour after filing off the turf at BB&T Field, Williams trudged up three flights of stairs to the lounge where the media was waiting.
He talked about how personally he took the lack of defensive push and how his goal of a 12-0 season had vanished. He said he really didn't begin processing the loss until he had a few quiet moments in the shower.
"I just thought about the entire game," Williams said. "I just thought about the way I played, the plays that I could have made for my team - you know, plays that other guys could have made. We weren't the better team tonight. . Hopefully we can move on from this and get better as a team."

But yeah, I find the best anti-claim method is to include mechanics that penalise people for revealing their rolenames by making them vulnerable to powers. If you do this, though, make sure to tell your players that such penalties exist. In my Buffy game, for example, I included a load of anti-roleclaim mechanics, then never actually warned the players about them, so they failed horribly.

Green Bay, WI -- Aaron Rogers threw for 219 yards and a score, punter Tim Masthay added a 27-yard touchdown pass and the Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears, 23-10, on Thursday in an NFC North showdown at Lambeau Field.
Rogers completed 23-of-32 passes with an interception and a 26-yard, fourth- quarter touchdown pass to Donald Driver as the Packers (1-1) bounced back from a 30-22 season-opening home loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Cedric Benson rushed for 81 yards on 20 carries in the win and Masthay hit Tom Crabtree with a shovel pass to successfully convert a fake field goal attempt in the second quarter.
The Bears scored 41 points in a season-opening win over the Colts, but were largely held in check on Thursday.
Jay Cutler completed just 11-of-27 passes for 126 yards with a touchdown and four interceptions and was sacked seven times -- 3 1/2 by Clay Matthews.
Offseason acquisition Brandon Marshall, who had 119 yards and a touchdown on nine receptions in Week 1, didn't make a catch until the fourth quarter and finished with two grabs for 24 yards.
Matt Forte had 31 yards on seven carries for the Bears (1-1) before departing in the third quarter with an apparent ankle injury.

Joey Porter Ain't Right In The Head
Don't go kicking balls over Joey Porter when he's warming up. He's liable to wreck your quarterback. It wasn't enough for Joey to talk shit about Matt Cassel. He wanted the Patriots to know he was for real when he talked about whuppin' that ass. Apparently the kickers didn't believe him.
As his Dolphins stretched on their side of midfield, Porter said the Patriots kickers and some coaches walked through the team's stretching lines. Chris Hanson then began punting the ball from Miami's end zone over the rows of Miami players.
Joey wasn't having any of that.
"I've been playing in the league for 10 years and I feel like I've done some crazy things, but I never did that," Porter said. "You can't walk right down the middle of somebody's stretch and start kicking out of the end zone like we're not even here, like they had the whole 100 yards. They just didn't want their 50, they wanted our 50, too.""They knew what it was going to do to me," Porter said. "It was going to get me fired up. I don't know if it was an attempt to get me thrown out of the game, but I was smart enough to keep my cool. It was just very disrespectful."
That's not crazy. That's just sick. What kind of person, let alone a kicker, would do something fucked up like that? Channing "Snow White" Crowder doesn't get it either.
"He hates stuff like that. They got him going. Why would they do that? He's already crazy, and they just poured fuel on it."
Baring his belly at the opposing team during warmups isn't provocative. Getting in the way of bullets outside of bars or stomping Levi Jones in a casino isn't crazy either. Good thing we have Joey Porter to stay cool and make sense of things in this messed up world. Then again what was the guy from "To Catch a Predator" doing on the field anyway? Who was he after?

As a DP and Producer who has worked with RED on countless occasions since spring of '08, I anxiously awaited the release of one of their cameras that would fall into my price point. This past November, I ordered my first RED camera, Scarlet #176.
A lot of people on the forums have called Scarlet "a starter drug", and I would have to completely agree with them. The past months have truly solidified my views on RED as a company and as a philosophy. I know my next step is EPIC, I just don't know how or when
With the Dragon upgrade coming up soon (and the lack of tech specs for the Scarlet upgrade), I thought it might be interesting to see a Scarlet MX to Epic Dragon upgrade program in the mix or something similar. Would anybody else be interested in that or something along those lines? What kind of specs and price point are you thinking? Should there be a discount for those who ordered before 12/31/2011? What other upgrade options are you thinking?
Not planning on doing this anytime too soon, but wanted to get the conversation stirring for the changes we'll be seeing over the next year. I also want to know how much money I should be saving:)
Thanks for your time.

Before the Industrial Revolution our ancestors generally lived in small houses they built for themselves from local earth, stone, straw and wood, mainly because the materials were cheap or free and didn't require a great deal of specialized skill. With a little guidance almost anyone can still build their own home with low-cost natural and scrounged materials for under $10,000 and opt out of the industrial building and mortgage rat race.

There's a moment at Christmas gatherings, usually as the first wave of escapees each has one boot on at the door, when someone's aunt wails, "Wait, I have to get a Christmas picture with everyone!" Groans, sighs and last-second teenage pleas for individuality burst like soggy confetti, while pets are disrespectfully yanked from their warm and danced-in couch depressions. Forestalling the freedom flight out into the remote-started, bucket-seat womb, the family photo exposes a lack of portrait enthusiasm; the left-on winter gear underlines it.

Little White Lies
After seeing the popularity of my last blog, I took notice that people enjoy a good, honest rant. Upon returning from a wine tasting trip with a sour taste in my mouth compliments of piss poor customer service, the words came out rather easily. I find myself today with a similar height of frustration, but from the other side of the counter. As an employee in multiple tasting rooms, I've seen my fair share of pretentious people walk through my doors and clearly state their hard-wired preferences right off that bat. Why go into any new situation with an already-made list of things you wont try or test out. Last time I checked, life was for living. If not, someone please forward me the memo stating otherwise. Specifically, I'd like to address the people who claim to only drink "big reds" and refuse a glass of anything white or pink. Oh I get it, your manhood is bigger than mine because of this preference? Am I right? Well, lets dive deeper into why this is NOT the case.
In my ever-lasting goal to bring everyone together, I've come up with four kinds of people in regards to wine:
- Men and women who don't drink wine at all. They either tried it a few times and never got into the damn thing or choose not to drink at all for various reasons.
- Men and women who have eagerly taken the first steps to liking wine and still stick to whites, often times leaning towards the sweeter side of life. They aren't opposed to red wines necessarily, but simply haven't traveled that far in their journey to full wine appreciation. Drink on!
- The unfortunate souls…err….men and women who have taken the step into bigger red wines, yet leave white and/or sweeter wines in the dust viewing them as a person they regret ever dating. These people view drinkers of "anything but red" as uneducated, unsophisticated, and as ignorant as they come.
- Finally! These highly-intelligent, ridiculously-cultured, and scaringly-sexy people that have come full circle and completely understand that all (yes ALL) wine has its place in our hearts, and finding those places are half the fun!
Three of these four categories are completely fine. Group number 3 and their views, however, have created such a heavy presence that many adults are effin' scared to admit they like enjoy a sweet wine every once in awhile. Why should they be ashamed? As I stated earlier, red, white, and pink can all find a fitting way into our lives. For a couple of examples, sweet wines are a great offset to spicy foods such as Thai and Spanish cuisine. Whites with great acidity (eg Sauvignon Blanc and many dry Rieslings) can compliment a wide range a meals and have the backbone to cut through a lot of heavy, cream based sauces. Dry rose's are great palate cleansers that seem to pair with any food you can put on a holiday menu. Lastly, on a dripping hot summer day, there's nothing better than a light, refreshing Pinot Gris on the porch. When were whites seeing as wines for pansies and neanderthals? Personally, I feel whites hold more characteristics to the original grape flavors and have just as much depth as any red you could put in front of me. Disagree? I dare you to send me a red so great, so amazing that it will force me to forget all about whites. If you can, strive to become a number 4 because its truly the right way to live. I try and act cool, but when I'm in the privacy of my own home, I'll be the first to admit that I turn on Jersey Shore on occasion. Although I should be embarrassed about this, no one should feel insecure when walking up to the bar and ordering a dry white, sweet white or rose. I can speak for most tasting room employees and proclaim our annoyance with the 3rd group. Get over yourselves. Stop buying big trucks. Drink what you REALLY want to drink. For most of you, it's all an act act anyway. Just be yourselves! What's your favorite white wine and why?

Everyone Is a Wine Expert
"Once you know what you like, you're already an expert." This is a phrase I use all too often in the tasting room for intimidated newbies and, in many ways, I believe it. Sounds pretty simple and inviting right? Sadly, the man behind curtain would agree that there's more to enjoying wine than simply sticking to what you've previously found easy and comfortable. The world of wine is dying to be discovered in each and every soul. Yes, if you're a novice drinker and find Franzia to be smooth and elegant then that's your prerogative. I'll even find myself enjoying a nice glass of boxed wine on a summer camping trip. But for me to say you're an expert in my tasting room needs the accompaniment of a little more explanation.
No one, and I mean no one, has ever been born with an amazing wine palate. It's a physiological and psychological structure, if you will, built with experience, dedication, and attention to every subtle detail inhabited by the wines we've had in our past. An expert might know more than one can conceive, but life has shown me the true best of the best are always willing to learn and be proven wrong. I say this because no one should ever "know what they like" and refuse to veer from that path claiming to be an expert on their own palate; you never know how much you could be missing out on. For example, I've had roughly twenty different Tempranillos (Spain's "noble grape" often referred to as the Spanish Cabernet) as of late, and I have yet to find one that truly tickles my fancy. Will I stop drinking Tempranillo? NO! All it means is that I get the luxury of being "forced" to keep drinking more until I find one I like. Yes, there's the possibility that the day won't come, but to be honest I'll never know. There's too much wine in the world to ever stop searching.
Certainly taste what you know you like, but never be against branching out from time to time. The saddest thing one could ever do to is become unwilling and close-minded. This goes for everything, not just wine. The honest reason I jumped into the wine industry is to help expand the palate of the young and willing world, as well as my own. Develop and build your palate by taking chances, stepping outside of your preconceived box, and letting the world of vino come alive in you. Just for fun, next time you stop in the any tasting room or wine shop, tell the worker to grab a wine he or she thinks you've never had before. You can always let them know the wine you usually drink so as to help narrow down the selection. I'm not saying one can't have "their wine", but don't choose it every time. Simply acknowledge it as your safety net, but seize every opportunity to experience something new. Who knows, you might find a suggestible Tempranillo for yours truly. Wine is life so make it a good one!

Healthy Wines
Guest blog post by Nan Gibbons
As a female fitness trainer, I am often asked for advice about foods and drinks which are beneficial to your health. In this day and age, when health insurance is more important than ever, my clients count on me to offer sound advice for healthy living. Many of my clients are surprised to hear me say that certain red wines, in moderate amounts, can be very good for your body. Compounds found in red wine, called antioxidants, are very healthy for your heart. They raise your good cholesterol and help prevent clogging of the arteries. Certain red wines are beneficial to heart health due to flavonoids and a compound called resveratrol which is found in high quantities in darker red wines. Antioxidants in red wine, named polyphenols, help safeguard the artery lining in your heart. A certain polyphenol known as resveratrol is getting a lot of attention for having healthy benefits.
Resveratrol is a very important ingredient in red wine. It protects blood vessels from damage, lowers "bad" cholesterol and protects against blood clots. It also reduces inflammation and helps prevent heart disease, one of the leading causes of death today. In my travels, helping my clients to become more healthy and fit is top priority. Here's the most important fact I tell all of my fitness clients. The antioxidants, especially resveratrol, are found primarily in the skin of the grape. Darker wines, such as Cabernet and Merlots, have been exposed to the grape skins longer. So what does all this mean, you ask? Darker wines are healthier than lighter ones. They contain much more of these wonderful, healthy components. The darker the wine, the healthier it is. Blush wines are only briefly in contact with the grape skins, and therefore are not as healthy.
So which wines should you buy? The world's healthiest red wines have the greatest amounts of potent heart healthy polyphenol antioxidants, especially resveratrol. The healthiest wines are imported from the region of France. Studies show that the population in Southwest France has an extraordinary lifespan. Wine from this part of the world is significantly higher in polyphenol antioxidants. As a matter of fact it has over 10 times more. The type of grapes and traditional wine-making skills of the French southwest winemakers creates a higher level of antioxidants, especially compared to contemporary, light, everyday drinking red wines.

Moscow Mule and Memories
This post is from guest blogger Dustin Cann (@DustinCann on twitter)
For me, summer brings to mind thoughts of time spent in the yard or around a pool with friends, grilling to hearts' content and talking about all things impactful or ridiculous over the appropriate summer beverages. You're well familiar the normal libations: Pinot Grigio, Sangria, Mojitos, Margaritas, and (alas) light beer. Nothing against any of these options, but I'm a little bored with them. Fortunately, I recently had a good friend give me a particularly great piece of advice: rediscover and fall in love with the storied Moscow Mule.
There are plenty of reasons to enjoy one of these dandies- the crispness of ice cold vodka in a freezing copper mug, the sweetness of simple syrup and ginger beer, the brightness and tart magic of a generously limed rim. It's a great drink, but the thing that turned me onto it so immediately was the story behind my friend's love of the drink.
She told me how on hot days, she has very clear memories of growing up when her dad would mow the lawn. He'd bring out a couple of Mules in their cold copper mugs and the lawn would manage to take care of itself much easier. She remembers how great she felt when he finally let her have a tiny sip, like he thought she was grown up enough to be eligible for a little bit. The way the mug felt in her hands and the way he grinned as she licked her lips afterward.
Then she told me a few times a year she drops by her mom's house on a hot day, and borrows one or two of his copper mugs for the day. She brings them home and puts them in the freezer for a while before mixing up a Mule and heading out to the yard. One sip and she's 7 or 8 years old, all over again.
It wouldn't be the same in a different mug, and it wouldn't even matter except for the crystal clear memories of daddy and daughter that each sip evokes for her. Any drink that can do that for her is worth giving a shot. And even without the romance of great memories, it's a damned good drink.

Michigan Ready for Riesling Rendezvous
Today's post is from guest writer Coryn Briggs of Black Star Farms
"I don't like Riesling because it is too sweet," how many times have I heard this…the answer, one too many. The reality is that some of the best Rieslings are made in a variety of styles ranging from bone dry to off dry to semi dry to sweet to late harvest. This is what is so fabulous about this varietal! Indeed Riesling is a "noble" grape with tremendous ability to produce amazing wines suited for any palate and meal for that matter.
The grape's resistance to a cool climate plus its natural tendency to express terroir makes it one of Northern Michigan winemaker's favorite varietals. Riesling enthusiast and winemaker at Chateau Grand Traverse, Sean O'Keefe adds that "this is a grape that many of us have been working with for years with the purpose of creating a true regional style. Not only "can" we grow Riesling in Northern Michigan, but we can do so at the highest international level." O'Keefe and several others are looking forward to showcasing their wines alongside the classic Rieslings of Germany, Austria and Alsace at the upcoming Riesling Rendezvous.
The line up for the 2010 Riesling Rendezvous includes a full team from Northern Michigan. Participating wineries include, Bowers Harbor Vineyards, Black Star Farms, Chateau Grand Traverse, Left Foot Charley, Peninsula Cellars, and 2 Lads. The wineries are also a co-sponsor of the event along with wine marketing boards of Germany, Alsace & Austria.
Northern Michigan winemakers will be equipped with award winning Rieslings and a new logo representing the hand as the "State of the Riesling" and they will rendezvous with a purpose to highlight their success with this noble grape. As a co-sponsor of the event the wineries will also be providing wine for one of the lunch programs, serving the region's wine to more than 250 participants.
The event will be held on July 11, 12 and 13 and is hosted by North America's premier Riesling producer, Chateau Ste. Michelle of Washington state and Ernst Loosen of Germany's renowned Dr. Loosen estate.
Information about Northern Michigan wineries participating is below:
Bowers Harbor Vineyards is a family run winery surrounded by epic views of Lake Michigan's historic Bowers Harbor. Our cool climate region produces dynamically expressive varietal wines.
Black Star Farms is a unique agricultural entity that features three tasting rooms, two winery production facilities, a distillery, B&B Inn, and equestrian facility. The winery is proud to represent the viticultural diversity of the Northwest Michigan region.
Chateau Grand Traverse has moved into its second generation of family winemaking – and has grown to be one of the largest Riesling producers in the Eastern United States. Riesling is the winery's passion, and it has been a tireless promoter of the variety as the Old Mission Peninsula's signature grape.
Left Foot Charley is a winery located in the Village at Grand Traverse Commons. The winery works with 14 local growers exclusively to provide the highest quality fruit for their varietal and blended wines.
Peninsula Cellars is a family run winery located on the Old Mission Peninsula. Their philosophy toward wine making is minimalistic, allowing the regional expression of the fruit to come through.
2 Lads Winery is a 10,500 square foot facility located on 58 acres on the Old Mission Peninsula. They specialize in cool climate red and sparkling wines.
In addition, the wines of Bel Lago and Chateau Chantal will be represented by Linda Jones, of the Michigan Grape and Wine Industry Council, as it is acting as co-sponsor for the Michigan portion of the event.
We would love to know if any of you are planning on attending this prestigious event. If so, please be sure to say hi to our group of winemakers from the mitten shaped state.

Volume 35, Number 43 Monthly Summary for Dec 1 - Dec 30, 2012 Issued December 31, 2012 Small Grains Continued to Suffer The condition of small grains and canola across Oklahoma continued to deteriorate under the protracted drought. Seventy percent of rye, 65 percent of canola and 61 percent of wheat were rated poor to very poor at the end of December. The poor condition of small grains meant limited grazing opportunities for livestock producers already facing poor pastures and low hay supplies. A winter storm on Christmas Day brought snow, with the highest totals falling in southeastern Oklahoma. A few other minor precipitation events followed the last week of December. The Southeast district has recorded 2.49 inches for the month so far, with most districts averaging less than half an inch. Precipitation totals on this report include rain and snow measured through December 30th, but frozen precipitation is recorded as it melts, so some snow and ice may be excluded. Overall the moisture received during December was still far below average for the month, leaving seasonal totals even further behind. For the period since September 1st all districts have received less than sixty percent of their normal moisture. The North Central district has recorded only 34 percent of normal precipitation for this period. Topsoil moisture conditions were rated 92 percent short to very short. Subsoil moisture conditions declined from the last report and were rated 98 percent short to very short. Small Grains: Conditions of wheat, rye and canola were rated mostly poor to very poor and oats were rated mostly fair to poor. Only 22 percent of the wheat crop was being grazed, 15 points below 2011. Thirty percent of rye was reported as grazed, 34 points less than normal. A very small portion of oats were being grazed, compared to 43 percent of oats grazed last year, and a five-year average of 21 percent. Pasture and Range: Pasture and range conditions continued to be rated poor to very poor throughout December. Several precipitation events the last week of the month may benefit conditions, but much more moisture is needed for grass to recover from the extended drought. Livestock: The limited availability of small grain grazing along with the poor condition of pasture and grass meant hay and supplementary feed were crucial for livestock producers during December. Low pond levels from the extended drought continued to be problematic as well. Despite these difficulties, livestock conditions continued to be rated mostly in the good to fair range. Soil Moisture Conditions by Percent For Month Ending December 30, 2012 Moisture Rating Topsoil Subsoil Very Short 68 80 Short 24 18 Adequate 8 2 Surplus 0 0 Conditions by Percent For Month Ending December 30, 2012 Commodity Very Poor Poor Fair Good Excellent Winter Wheat 21 40 28 11 0 Canola 17 48 29 6 0 Rye 26 44 26 4 0 Oats 25 24 47 4 0 Livestock 3 14 47 32 4 Pasture and Range 46 36 17 1 0

"very securely" here means that you use a pubkey with a passphrase. but instead of having to re-type the passphrase every time the pk is used, ssh-agent acts as a proxy to do it for you. this is a form of two-factor authentication. the alternative is a passphrase-less pk, which is then exactly analogous to a physical key, and is one-factor. if someone gets a copy of your private key, they 0wn your accounts. in the context of a cluster, passphraseless pk seems to be fairly commonly used to permit no-password logins among nodes. oscar, iirc, goes so far as to screw with your .authorized_keys file to make this work. if you want passphraseless login among a set of machines, IMO it's much more sensible to just use the hostbased mode of ssh. basically, hosts always mutually authenticate themselves (that's what the known_hosts stuff is all about), so you just add trusted hosts to /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv. (hostbased is not normally a default config, since it's inappropriate in normal server farms, but is not hard to setup: - fill in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts (perhaps via ssh-keyscan). - list trusted hosts in shosts.equiv. - add "HostbasedAuthentication yes" to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and ssh_config, and "EnableSSHKeysign yes" to sshd_config. I think hostbased ssh is very appropriate within a cluster or perhaps even within any single domain of administrative control. I strongly recommend users use ssh-agent and passphrase-protected pk to login, though. regards, mark hahn.

Snow Chains
An Introduction to Snow Chains
Snow chains/snowchains are compulsory on most Alpine roads, even for 4x4 vehicles. Increasing numbers of people also carry a set for UK use, for snow or for grass, e.g. to give essential grip in green field car parks during the British summer.
We are snow chain specialists, and distribute many of Europe's best known brands, covering the whole range of snow chain sectors and aiming to have a snowchain for every available wheel size.
Please be sure to take your tyre size from the tyre itself, not from the handbook. You are usually looking for three numbers, e.g. 225/45-R17, written on the wall of the tyre. See Frequently Asked Questions for information on what these numbers mean.
The Starting Point
The starting point is to tell you that "conventional snowchains" (RUD, KWB), which wrap chain around the whole tyre, are not suitable for increasing numbers of vehicles, usually because they'd be too close to struts or brake pipes, or because there's electronic sensing equipment which can't cope with finding metal where there's normally only rubber. You must therefore visit our snow chains/ snowchains database if you want to buy conventional snowchains from us, and choose first your car, then your tyre size, and in many cases also your engine size. Some manufacturers don't take this prudent view, so you'll almost certainly be able to buy a set of chains "off the shelf" which will fit around your wheels. Our advice is to check your car handbook very carefully, because if there is a "No fit" for conventional snowchains there could be real danger and expense in fitting the chains and driving the car.
All the "other snowchain systems" we sell, (AutoSock, Farad SNOW, Maggi TRAK and Spikes-Spider) can be used on every vehicle, subject to finding a set of the appropriate size, even if the use of conventional snow chains is forbidden.
To see a spreadsheet of which of these systems fit each tyre size, i.e. to get an appreciation of relative transferability and all round value, please click here. There are no links to the Farad, Spikes-Spider and TRAK systems because these also require you to have wheel nut adapters of the correct size for your car; you'll find all the information you need on the snow chains/ snowchains database.
All the snow chains/snowchains are are sold in pairs, and need to be fitted to the driving wheels. Some people also fit them to the non driving wheels, which certainly improves all round stability, but is definitely not necessary. 4 x 4 drivers should fit snowchains to the front wheels unless we tell you which wheels to use – please check the snow chains database for fitting notes.
As a rule of thumb, traction control and anti-skid systems should be turned off when using tyre traction devices, except for AutoSock and Spikes-Spider systems. If you can't easily turn off these systems, then it's probably OK. Check your handbook!
We show all the available options, together with prices and special offers, on our snow chains database. This contains well over 100,000 links, and we work very hard to keep it as up to date as we can. Please though (1) check your handbook and (2) fit the snowchains we supply ASAP after receiving them, just to check that they fit, and also to learn how to fit them.
We'll exchange unused snowchains if they are still in our current range at the time the exchange is arranged. Click here for details.
Snow Chains: an overview
Conventional snow chains/ snowchains
RUD and KWB:> These are much quicker to fit than you might think, but some are easier to fit than others! All snowchains sold in the UK, except for the RUD automatic snowchains, are fitted by pushing a cable behind the wheel, lifting the two ends up the face of the wheel until they're well over the widest point, then joining them together and pushing them over the top of the tyre. This is easy enough if there's plenty of space between the wheel and the wheel arch, but unless you're a contortionist you'll almost certainly need to kneel on the ground (which means snow, slush, dirt) to push the cable behind the wheel at ground level. Self tensioning snowchains spare you the effort of getting out of the car after a few hundred metres to retighten the snowchain, but they don't spare your trousers! So check out RUD's automatic snowchains if you're fussed about this. Some models are also better at protecting alloy wheels than others.
We stock snowchains from KWB, part of Austria's Pewag group, and from RUD of Germany, with prices starting at £39.95.
Maggi TRAK snow chains/snowchains
Maggi TRAK: These also place a ladder of chain and ice spikes around the face of the tyre, and are fitted from a crouching position. They're fastened to one of the wheel bolts – no special adapter is necessary - and wind themselves onto the wheel when it starts to move.
Thule snow chains / snowchains
We also stock the best products in the Thule snowchains range, shown on our site thule-snowchains.net - they have some excellent chains for cars, SUVs and 4x4s.
The Thule CB-12 chains (Car, "Basic", 12mm on the wheel) do all that is necessary, and do it very well. There's then quite a jump in price to the Thule CG-9 snowchains ("Good") which incorporate Thule's 'micro tensioning system', their neat solution to automatic tensioning which means that you don't have to stop to re-tension the chains once they have "shaken themselves out" and found their optimum position on the tyre. Check out our favourite, the Thule CL-10 chains ("Luxury") which have perpendicular chain links to provide better lateral stability, as well as the micro-tensioning. The Thule CS-10 chains ("Superior") add a quick removal system to the other enhancements already mentioned. The Thule K-Summit range is ideal for vehicles with limited clearance between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch, which includes many rear wheel drives.
The 4x4 range includes the Thule XB-16 (X for eXtra strong as in 4x4), Thule XG-12, the Thule XS-16, and the Thule K-Summit XL; vehicles over 2 tonnes need the K-Summit XXL.
These are certainly both the fastest and the easiest fitting of all snowchains available, excluding the time taken to fit the special hub mounting plates. (Some people leave these plates in place all year, others fit them at the first sign of snow.) Spikes-Spiders place chain and/or ice spikes around the face of the tyre. They don't in fact grip the tyre all round, but only the part that's in contact, or just about to be in contact, with the road; they're otherwise free to move within the circular mounting plate, and as such will absorb the frequent changes in tyre shape. The chains also lift off the top of the wheel as they come around, and so help to shake out compacting snow. They're technically very advanced, Swiss made, and provide full protection for alloy wheels. They're not cheap to buy, but over a period of years the SPORT and CARRIER models in particular should prove to be the best value of all snowchains. They're easily resized, i.e. you can buy new parts to make them fit just about any size of tyre available. All Spikes-Spiders can be used with traction control and anti-skid systems.
These are super-strong textile socks, designed and developed in Norway over many years, which use friction to provide extraordinary levels of grip on ice and snow. They're reusable, take up minimal storage space, and you just slip them over the driving wheels. Strange but true, and ideal for UK use where snow tends to fall unpredictably and few cars have winter tyres. Please note that they're not approved for use in the Alps where snow chains/ snowchains are required, whatever you might read elsewhere. These snow chain regulations require the use of "metal" components, and even though AutoSock makes use of Kevlar (stronger than steel) they won't be permitted until the regulations are changed. There's sense in having a set of AutoSock whether or not you also have a set of metal component snowchains, because they are so convenient and easy to use, and so effective.

We'll exchange unused snow chains if they are still in our current range at the time the exchange is arranged, and you purchased them from us; please phone (015396 21884) or e-mail with the subject "Snow chains exchange" so we know to expect them. (There's no problem if you want to exchange for more expensive snow chains – you will in effect just be paying the price difference - but we don't give refunds if you trade down market.)
You need to send the snowchains back to us with a covering note - not forgetting your name and address! "Unused" means just that. We can tell the difference at a glance between a set of snowchains that have been fitted once for testing purposes and a set which has been used for real. There's always a minimum £15 carriage / handling charge for exchange snow chains. (We'll need to charge more if you don't live on the UK mainland.)
Please note that we do not exchange AutoSock.

The NCA North vs South Challenge puts bragging rights on the lines for teams from multiple states. In efforts to create a Civil War of hoops, National Christian Academy coach Trevor Brown matches some of the finest teams from the North against some filthy ones from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Starting off with only four teams a few years back, the event has popped off to the point that it now has 10 teams and had to shut some out from the Washington, DC, event.
From the second you step foot in the gym at NCA, it screams SLAM Magazine. Totally encompassing the urban basketball/hip-hop vibe, National Christian Academy has a vibrant gym that you'll see in just about every inner-city in America. You know, that small gym with the murals on the wall and stage in the background? The one where you can't dive on the floor for loose balls too close to the wall because you might bust your head on the wall? Yeah, that kind of gym. The aesthetics of the gym were just as dope as the basketball was, if not more
With that said, here are a number of guys who did their thing at the North vs South Challenge:
Rodney Purvis, 6-3, PG/SG, Upper Room Christian Academy, 2012
The most high-profile player in the event did not disappoint the DC fans who came out to see the McDonald's All American. Starting off the first quarter right, dropping 12 points on Princeton Day including two bombs from NBA three-point range. The North Carolina State commit slowed a bit as the game went on as far as getting buckets were concerned, but was able to create open looks for his teammates on a consistent basis. The dominance shown here only furthered the legend of Purvis, who just recently did his best Reggie Miller impersonation with 6 points in 5 seconds in a W in Ohio.
Manny Taylor, 6-6, PF/C, Life Center Academy (NJ), 2015
Jotting down notes thinking he was a senior, I was shocked when Life Center assistant David Paul Boudwin let me know that Taylor was just a freshman. With productivity and a body resembling a senior, the burly post straight up dominated the paint against Upper Room with a 20/10 performance. A deceptive athlete, he catches guys off guard with his unorthodox game and motor that doesn't stop. Knowing that he's still got three years of hoops left at the prep level, Manny is a big fella who cats need to keep an eye on because of his remarkably efficient play down on the blocks that you just don't see that often out of a youngster.
Deandre Thomas, 6-5, SF, National Christian Academy (MD), 2012
The best player from the most winning team, Thomas showed a lot of potential for a guy who has apparently slid under the radar by most, until now. The 6-5 lefty has a bit of a hitch in his shot, but that didn't stop him from drilling three after three against CFCA. The best part of Deandre's game has to be his athleticism and the potential that he has on both ends though. There's just so much that you can do with a player like that to where he's almost like a blank canvas, and surely someone that a DI school is going to take a chance on.
Jalyn Pennie, 6-7, PF, CFCA (NC), 2012
If you were looking for the best available senior big man in DC, Pennie was the man of your dreams. The athletic four man was dominant on the defensive end against National Christian and continued to show off an emerging offensive game facing the basket. Considered by many to be a Marshall lean, the senior from north of the border is still open to all suitors and will continue to draw interest with athletic play like this.
Kaza Keane, 6-2, PG, CFCA (NC), 2012
Fresh into the senior class, Keane has been getting hella buzz among college coaches scrambling for point guards in the spring signing period. The Canadian playmaker ran the show better than any lead guard who we peeped in DC and while his team walked away winless, it certainly wasn't because of his lack of personal success. Expect Keane to be a hot commodity for the remainder of the spring as long as he remains on the board.

Really tall person and former Ozen basketball celeb Kendrick Perkins thought he had resolved his legal travails. To recap: Perkins was arrested last summer after an altercation in front of The Ticket. Last week, the arrest record was expunged.
It never happened.
And that is what concerns The Examiner. The newspaper is concerned that Beaumont — in an effort to make this whole thing vanish — will destroy the records associated with this case. And that would be bad.
So the Examiner is seeking an injunction:
A petition for a temporary injunction and restraining order was filed March 23 in Jefferson County District Court.
Judge Donald Floyd, 172nd District Court, granted the injunction request without giving notice that same day, ordering the city and Beaumont Police Department not to destroy any records related to the arrest, court records show.
An injunction hearing, where the city will have a chance to respond, is slated for April 5.
This goes back to an earlier request made by the Examiner seeking videotapes and other evidence related to the arrest. The city demurred and was finally ordered to release the info on March 20th. The VERY NEXT DAY, the record was expunged.
Coincidence? The Examiner thinks so.
"Because of the facts stated above, as well as other facts apparent from the public record and media reports showing that the city has engaged in repeated acts to cover up the incident in question and minimize the public's awareness … plaintiff believes that the city may attempt to destroy the items in question," the petition states.
"Such destruction would constitute irreparable harm to plaintiff, who would be left without an adequate remedy at law."
In addition to the injunction, The Examiner is seeking an award of actual and punitive damages, plus attorney's fees.
This isn't over. Sorry, Perk. But it appears the city may (?) have something to hide.

MAO-B Inhibitors for Parkinson's Disease
Generic Name | Brand Name |
rasagiline | Azilect |
selegiline | Eldepryl, Zelapar |
How It Works
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) prolong the effects of dopamine in the brain by preventing its breakdown. They also may prevent the removal of dopamine between nerve endings and enhance release of dopamine from nerve cells. Rasagiline and selegiline are selective monoamine oxidase (MAO-B) inhibitors.
Why It Is Used
MAO-B inhibitors may be used in the early stages of Parkinson's disease to treat very mild symptoms (such as resting tremor) and delay the need for levodopa.
Experts continue to debate whether rasagiline and selegiline may protect dopamine-producing nerves in the brain and slow the progression of the disease. Some studies suggest that rasagiline and selegiline may help to slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. But these medicines currently being used only to treat symptoms of the disease.
In people with advanced Parkinson's disease who are taking levodopa, rasagiline or selegiline may be added to levodopa treatment to reduce motor fluctuations, increase the time of effect of the levodopa, and decrease the amount of levodopa needed to control symptoms.
How Well It Works
In the early stages of Parkinson's disease MAO-B inhibitors may improve symptoms and can delay the need for levodopa. But the benefits are considered modest.1
When used with levodopa in people with advanced disease, rasagiline or selegiline may reduce motor fluctuations and increase the length of "on" periods (times when medicine is able to control symptoms).2
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Signs of dangerously high blood pressure, such as:
- Severe chest pain.
- Enlarged pupils.
- Fast or slow heartbeat.
- Severe headache.
- Increased sensitivity of your eyes to light.
- Increased sweating (sometimes with fever or cold, clammy skin).
- Severe nausea and vomiting.
- Stiff or sore neck.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Confusion, hallucinations, or mood or mental changes.
- Uncontrollable movements, such as twitching or repetitive movements of the tongue, lips, face, arms, or legs.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Belly pain or heartburn.
- Dizziness or lightheadedness.
- Dry mouth.
- Muscle or joint pain or stiffness.
- Nausea and vomiting (mild).
- Trouble sleeping.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

For a second straight year Massena native Andy Draper, a minor league umpire, was selected to work a postseason series.
Draper, who started in the short-season Class A New York-Penn League last year, spent this season working in the full-season Class A South Atlantic League.
He finished the season by working a Northern Division semifinal series between Greensboro and Hickory, which Greensboro swept in two games.
