Sonic's Alpha part 2Later on that night
Sonic was running down the streets to pass the time. There had been tons of news going around about the people disappearing all of a sudden over the past two months. Even though he knew about it, he still wanted to have a relaxing run before he turned in for the night. The cool wind whipped through his fur as he continued on, speeding up. Once he was satisfied, he slowed down to a brisk jog and then he stopped running altogether. He turned a corner and started for home when he heard the sound of shattering glass and loud annoying alarms sounded from within the city museum.Sonic's ears perked up immediately at the sound and he turned swiftly to face the building to have two figures jump from a glass window and land almost exactly in front of him. His mouth was agape as he stared at the two figures dressed in complete black. These two, two hedgehogs exactly, were openly stealing from the museum and not even caring about all the mess they had caused. The

Warning: Loads of Fluff in the prologue~ xD:rologue::"Oi! Qui' it!" Said a young tiger cub as he batted his small, clawed hand at his attacker."Mmmm
No~" His attacker chortled with a smirk as he once again grabbed the bright orange tail that was just begging to be tugged at. The poor orange kit mewled pathetically as he tried to escape the panther cub's playful antics."Leggo!" He hissed as he tried to pull himself free, but to no avail. Hissing in anger, he turned around quickly, only to pounce on the other and make them tumble to the grassy earth in a mess of fur. He hastily took his tiny mouth and bit down on the other kit's dark blue ear in retaliation, but the panther just refused to let go of his tail. Growling, he dug his canines into the sensitive ear s

He was infamous for his calm and gentlemen-like smiles that would make anyone drop their guard, just so he could strike them down and stab them in the back. Though, not many animals would t

200 yards and in, you should see no difference.
1:9 is best for 55 gr
1:8 is best for 62 gr
1:7is best for 72-77/
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship?
Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?
I've had better results with the 62gr vs 55gr. You will pay slightly more though.
Here is a question for anyone who knows...My Mini 14 is about 10 - 15 years old. Can I (Should I) shoot 5.56 NATO ammo through it? I have only been shooting .223 and lately I have heard that .223 is the only ammo I should shoot.
So what is the truth? Is it okay to shoot 5.56 NATO or not?
Father is Boss as everyone knows,
but what Mother says always goes.
Ruger factory says (in regard to reciever stamp)....
223 REM - .223 Remmington ONLY
223 CAL - 5.56x.45 OK
Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to look at the receiver on my Mini 14 to see what it says regarding ammo. Don't know why it didn't occur to me to look there first.
I've heard the M-85 is not all that accurite.
When it comes to AP ammo, better to just find what shoots the best, it's available from several different manufacturers.
Keep the AP for if it's needed and shoot the best commercial ammo or your best handloads in it.
My 1-9 Tactical really likes 55 grn FMJ with 25.0 grns of AA2230 and CCI 400 primers.
Quite a few people say this is a great load. It may need a little fine tuning for your weapon.
In 69 Grn, the 69 Grn Matchking, 23.0 Grns of IMR 8208XBR, CCI 400 primers shoots consistant .9" 5 shot groups at 100 yds in my Tactical.
Usual disclaimer, these work in my gun, use reloading info from the manufacturer, don't use my loads unless you do so at your own risk.

"green revolution" in the Cerrado, Brazil's vast savanna lands lying south of the Amazon rain forest. Through a combination of soil improvement, integration of crop and livestock farming, no-till agriculture, and genetic improvement of forage grasses, soybean and livestock, Embrapa has, in the span of 30 years, transformed Brazil from a net food importer to one of the world's bread-baskets, the largest exporter of beef and poultry, and the second largest exporter of soybean in the world (Economist, 2010). This model could be adapted to the savanna lands of Africa and Asia.
Food supplies must be capable of withstanding shocks from weather, economic crises, crop pests, and livestock diseases. Food systems in developed countries are generally resilient while those in developing countries are not (FAO, 2011; p. 4 and pp. 88-91). As the numbers of livestock and poultry produced in the developing world has increased, world trade in foods of animal origin has also expanded significantly, increasing the opportunity for infectious agents to gain a foothold in food systems. As a result, new and re-emerging infectious diseases have appeared almost on an annual basis for the past two decades. Seventy percent are zoonotic and most have come from reservoirs of infection in wildlife. The spread of H5N1 avian influenza, West Nile virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and Monkey pox provide examples. Collectively, the epidemics they incited drew attention to the lack of coordination between human and veterinary public health services. It was this omission that gave rise to the One Health Initiative now championed by AVMA.
In addition, climate change is altering the range of pathogens, especially when they or their vectors depend upon warm temperatures and high humidity. Bluetongue virus is an example; the virus affects ruminants, especially sheep. In the past ten years bluetongue has spread from its traditional range in North Africa to most of Europe causing massive losses in sheep and disrupting trade (www.fao.org/docs/eims/upload/213041/EW_europe_sept06.pdf).
Extensive systems of livestock farming in many parts of the world have intruded increasingly into wildlife habitat, crowding and stressing wildlife and changing the dynamics of disease transmission. As a result, infectious diseases of wildlife, many of which were previously unknown, have been transmitted to livestock and people. Nipah virus, for example, spread in Malaysia from a reservoir of infection in fruit bats to swine and then to people where it was associated with high fatality rates. As a result, the swine industry suffered high losses and has been severely restricted in that country. There is every prospect that this pattern of disease emergence will continue and it is the task of the veterinary profession worldwide to work with the medical profession, environmental scientists, wildlife biologists, and others to provide surveillance of wildlife health and monitor the emergence of new infections that may threaten human health and the resilience of the food supply.

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Carrie Halperin, Amanda VanAllen, Jordan Mazza and Will Cantine
ABC News' Michael Falcone: "CPAC 2013 – Why It Matters, Who's Going, What We Will Learn From It" Thursday marks the start of a three-day gathering of conservative leaders and activists from around the country. The Conservative Political Action Conference — CPAC, for short — is organized by the American Conservative Union and has become an annual focal point that brings together establishment figures, new leaders, grassroots types and, in particular, the younger generation of conservatives. It kicks off this morning at the Gaylord National Hotel in National Harbor, Md., just outside Washington, D.C. LINK
USA Today's Martha T. Moore: "CPAC Discusses GOP Immigration Policy" Nobody was laughing at CPAC about the failure of Republicans to win Hispanic votes. Speakers at the conservative gathering said repeatedly that demographics will doom Republicans unless the party can find a way to appeal to Hispanic voters — and changing immigration policy is a necessary first step. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Sara Murray: "CPAC Debate: How Will GOP Win Elections?" Conservatives were split Thursday on the best way to select candidates who can win, just one of the defining issues where Republicans are at odds in the wake of November's losses. LINK
The Hill's Mike Lillis: "Obama asks House Dems to make concessions for big deficit deal" President Obama asked House Democrats on Thursday to give him the political room to make concessions to Republicans on entitlements as part of a deficit-reduction deal. In a meeting with the House Democratic Caucus in the Capitol Visitor Center, Obama said he won't accept anything less than a balanced approach to deficit reduction that includes new tax revenues, according to numerous lawmakers in the room. LINK
The Washington Times' Stephen Dinan: "Sequester do-over: Feds recaptured 4 immigrants released under budget cuts" The Obama administration said Thursday it had rearrested and brought back four of the most dangerous immigrants it released from detention last month in the run-up to the budget sequestration. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton testified to Congress that his agency released 10 "level one" offenders, and has gone out and apprehended four of them. He said the other six are nonviolent. LINK
The Washington Post's Michael Gerson: "The GOP and the budget boilerplate gap" It would be a mistake to confuse a budget proposal for a proposed budget, though they bear a superficial resemblance. A budget proposal — of the type that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) have recently announced — represents the internal agreement reached by a party caucus and the starting point of a high-stakes political negotiation. If a Republican or Democratic budget expert were to craft an actual proposed budget — one that would deserve a vote and could secure a majority in both chambers — it would look very different. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Patrick J. McDonnell: " Amnesty International urges caution in arming Syrian rebels" Any government considering arming Syrian rebels should conduct a "rigorous human-rights risk assessment" before proceeding with weapons transfers, Amnesty International said Thursday. The group released a pair of studies detailing abuses by both sides in the Syrian conflict. LINK
The New York Times' Michael Shear: "G.O.P. Divided on Proper Role for U.S. Abroad" For more than three decades, the Republican Party brand has been deeply tied to a worldview in which the aggressive use of American power abroad is both a policy imperative and a political advantage. LINK
The Boston Globe's Jennifer Steinhauer: "Senate panel backs bill to reinstate weapons ban" The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a measure on Thursday to reinstate a ban on assault weapons, the first congressional vote on the issue since the ban expired in 2004. The vote to approve the measure — now ostensibly headed for the full Senate — went firmly along party lines; the 10 Democrats on the committee voted yes, and the eight Republicans voted no. LINK
Politico's Manu Raju and John Bresnahan: "Joe Manchin fights uphill battle for gun deal" Sen. Joe Manchin could be President Barack Obama's best hope for a bipartisan gun package this year. LINK
Bloomberg's Chris Strohm and Hans Nichols: "Obama Presses Xi on Cyber Attacks Amid Focus on Hacking" President Barack Obama told Chinese President Xi Jinping that cybersecurity would be a key part of bilateral talks as the U.S. seeks to protect companies and individuals from computer attacks, a White House official said. During a phone call yesterday, Obama and Xi committed to hold discussions on hacker threats as part of regular conversations on security and economic matters, Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said.

Anyone know the process for upgrading a VM cluster and DPM?
(Not upgraded but) we have gone with System Centre Virtual Machine Manager 2012 & System Centre Data Protection Manager 2012 for our new brand new Hyper-V/Server setup. installed during the past couple of weeks.
First time we have virtualized so we don't know any different ;)
How is it going, or too early to tell?
I have upgrade from 2007 to 2012 and setup a new SCVMM 2012 aswell. Seems to be running really well :) They have ironed out a lot of the issues I was having with PXE.
I just renewed my license and added DPM so hopefully see it when my licenses are enabled :)
SCCM 2012 here for a summer rollout. Going very well, certainly better to use than 2007 was and any issues are very minor. A hell of a lot more powerful, in fact the most difficult thing is ironing out things we don't need as it's far too powerful for what's required of it.
DPM 2012 is available on MS licensing mines just become active.
Ross2k5: how do you effect an upgrade for Hyper-V and DPM? We're currently running the previous version.
Trying to decide whether it's something we can do, or something we'll need consultancy support with.

Hoffman Lends A Most Wanted Man Gravity
By Alan Scherstuhl
The animated movie accentuates scenes of dark and polluted skies, dilapidated buildings, and message boards with propaganda encouraging people to "listen to the inner you." An omnipotent government wants civilians to listen to the voice in their heads because a dandruff shampoo has been developed to infiltrate their thoughts. Dandruff is unpleasant, but a corporatist regime transforming your thoughts after unassuming use of anti-flake shampoo is undeniably worse (although peculiar).
Gloomy yet oddly beautiful pictorial images are coupled with crude animation — highlighting a palpable chasm between character and audience. Animated subjects with rigid gaits, flat affects, and a paucity of emotional expression create a disconnect from the already bewildering plot sequence. The lead character, the hypervigilant Roger (voice of Vincent Gallo), attends to internal stimuli that he suspects are not of his own processes. While discerning individual thoughts from those imposed on him, Roger begins a quest to unveil the origin of his hijacked mind.
His suspicions lead him to Nina (voice of Juliette Lewis), the beautiful dandruff shampoo model who promises answers and truth. With Nina's help, Roger discovers that his long-standing paranoia isn't so far-fetched after all. The giant subway system below the earth linking all of Europe is controlled by a vicious organization, Trexx Corp., which intends to control the general public under the guise of peace and mobility.
This is where the convoluted and confusing story line may leave you scratching your head. If something can come from nothing, Metropia achieves this feat by eliciting a reaction from a plot lacking suspense, movement, or emotion. Perhaps that's the message in the end after all — it's better to have independent thoughts rather than ones imposed on you, even if these thoughts are disconsolate ones after 80 minutes of film-viewing boredom.

Boston wouldn't mind using talented rookie Rubby De La Rosa in the rotation, and Peavy is currently blocking his path. Additionally, Peavy, a loser of seven straight (though much of that is due to a lack of support) may frankly be better suited to go back to the NL at this stage of his career.

Reviews of My Little Eye 2002
A film which a have seen once before, quite some time ago. Even though i did not remember everything from the story-line it was pretty predictable, and as my brother said so cleverly. It builds up reasonably well but fizzles out without any credit to the first 2 thirds of the film.
For the discerning horror fan this film offers absolutely nothing different to most horror films. The same people do the same things at the same times and die in the same order. The performances are reasonable, except for one, who just never gets into character and all the suspense built up so well during the first hour, just kind of fizzles out in the last 15-20 minutes. With some relatively minor changes to veer away from the norm, one of…
Literally nobody who's rated this on Letterboxd has given this a 4.5 or 5 rating. And, I mean, a few hundred people have rated this, it's not really a "margin of error" thing. I dunno. I thought it was a pretty nifty little horror film, inherently dated by its webcast/reality TV concept but no less enjoyable for that fact. A little predictable, but it maintains a truly creepy vibe throughout, and doesn't fall back on jump scares like so many…
How come all these films with interesting premises have shite endings?
i really enjoyed this
i think i might be the only one
why so many haters man? wheres the love
good soundtrack too
Reality TV has been a hot topic for longer than I care to remember. From the early days of 'Big Brother' onwards, there has never been a shortage of mooing cretins willing to shill themselves for a chance of easy fame. Warhol has proved as prophetic as Orwell in late 20th – early 21st century culture.
Predictably, filmmakers have picked up on this pervasive and seemingly unending trend. From the early likes of The Running Man, Series 7: The Contenders,…
When this was first released, my dad's then-girlfriend rented it and I stopped watching after 30 mins or so. I didn't actually recognise any of it this time though. I'm also not sure if I've confused it with another film (I know that I started watching this one, but I think there was another film I tried watching with a similar plot and kept thinking it was this one or I've just twisted it in my head). Anyway, it was pretty dull. Lots of plot holes and weird inconsistencies. The characters weren't particularly engaging and neither was the plot. It was watchable, but meh.
Yet another film from the late 90s/early 00s about the horrors of reality television, this one a U.K. production taking aim at the "nice house as prison" sub-genre typified by the likes of Big Brother. The North American main cast of five all embody readily identifiable teen movie stereotypes - there's a jock, a virgin, a slut, a nice guy, and a criminal, basically The Breakfast Club model - grouped together in a remote house for six months with the…
Probably dynamite in 2002 but it's aged quicker than any half-decent film really should do.
I liked this movie, I think the only reason I gave it a four is because Bradley Cooper is in it. It has a good plot, kept my interest from the beginning to end. Its the PG-13 rating with gore, but thats not always a bad thing. I recommend it to my friends who are avid horror/thriller junkies like myself.
One of the first movies to take on the horror sub-genre of webcam gore, My Little Eye can drag a little at times, but is still an entertaining enough effort. The story is reasonably coherent and the cast better than should usually be expected for a movie of this ilk. Worth a solid rental.

Product Code: 138AGHD
When we create the projects for our embroidery designs, we usually add quilting and sewing techniques for a finishing touch. Then, when we display the projects at trunk shows and events, we hear comments that these finishing touches are often what you find the most difficult to do! So, while planning this Spring Quilt collection we decided to include some of these techniques right in the embroidery designs themselves! We made four different types of block designs with five different embroidery design themes. The themes are perfect for spring sewing projects: butterfly, dragonfly, blue bird, daisy and strawberry. Each design is made in all four-block styles. Each block is offered in two sizes and the embroidery designs are also included separately in two sizes. Every block incorporates an embroidery technique and a quilt technique.

Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation Announces An Increase In Its Monthly Dividend
TORONTO, Jan. 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX:AI) announces that it is increasing its regular monthly cash dividends, from an annual rate of $0.80 to $0.82 per share.
The board of directors has declared the following dividends:
|Record date
|Dividend payable date
|Dividend amount per share
|January 31, 2014
|February 13, 2014
|February 28, 2014
|March 13, 2014
|March 31, 2014
|April 14, 2014
Mr. Rob Goodall, CEO of Atrium, noted, "In 2013, Atrium earned and declared dividends totaling an estimated $0.85 per share, including a special dividend estimated at $0.05. We are very pleased to conservatively increase the regular dividend to reflect our confidence in Atrium's level of earnings. We still expect to continue the practice of paying a special dividend to shareholders of record at the year-end to top-up the total dividends paid to equal our earnings in the year."Shareholders are reminded that Atrium offers a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) that allows them to automatically reinvest their dividends in new shares of Atrium at a 2% discount from market price and with no commissions. This provides shareholders with an easy way to realize the benefits of compound growth of their investment in Atrium. Shareholders can enroll in the DRIP program by contacting their investment advisor. Atrium is a Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) as defined in Section 130.1(6) of the Canada Income Tax Act (ITA). Accordingly, Atrium is not taxed on income provided that its taxable income is paid to its shareholders in the form of dividends within 90 days after December 31 each year. Such dividends are generally treated by shareholders as interest income, so that each shareholder is in the same position as if the mortgage investments made by the company had been made directly by the shareholder. For further information, please refer to regulatory filings available at www.sedar.com or Atrium's website at www.atriummic.com . About Atrium As a mortgage investment corporation, Atrium is a non-bank provider of residential and commercial mortgages that lends in major urban centres in Canada where the stability and liquidity of real estate are high.

With all the focus on the War on Terror, one service has been neglected, and yet, it may be the most important service: the United States Navy. This has been the result of two decades of neglect starting just as the U.S. Navy had not only been crucial in America's triumph over the Soviet Union, but also in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Yet with a growing crisis with Iran centering around threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, America may pay a price for its neglect of the fleet.
I was not the best sniper in my class. In fact, I failed the practice test. That meant potentially washing out of the class. Unlike the Marines, in the field we don't work with spotters. The SEAL philosophy is, basically, if you have a fellow warrior with you, he ought to be shooting, not watching. That said, we did use spotters in training.
After I failed the test, the instructor went through everything with my spotter and me, trying to figure out where I'd gone wrong. My scope was perfect, my dope was set, nothing was mechanically wrong with the rifle.
Suddenly, he looked up at me.
Most armies in the world today use snipers in some capacity and the Spanish Legion is certainly no exception. Recently I was able to spend some time with the Spanish Legion observing their training procedures, and noted that they seemed to deploy snipers more often than other military units I've seen. In fact, it appeared that at least one sniper team was somewhere in the field with us during nearly all the training exercises. During the weeks I spent with the Legion I was able to appreciate their innovative use of the sniper teams and got to see some interesting sniper training
The Tuareg rebellion in northern Mali has pushed tens of thousands of people across the border into Niger. The refugee crisis has intensified a looming food crisis in the region.
Djibril Oualid and his family, from Mali, have joined 2,000 other refugees across the border with Niger in the village, Gaoudel. They fled the Tuareg rebellion in the northern part of their country. Many are living in makeshift camps along the border, with little food or water. Most say they have lost everything in the conflict.
Human tragedy
The Oualid family walked for three days to reach the border.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is reported to be in good condition following surgery to remove a tumor.
Vice President Elias Jaua made the announcement Tuesday to Venezuelan lawmakers, who responded with applause and chants in support of the 57-year-old president.
Jaua told the National Assembly that doctors removed a pelvic lesion and the surrounding tissue from President Chavez.
Under Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Russia has found common ground with Washington - on shipping war supplies to Afghanistan, halting the sale of anti-aircraft missiles to Iran and joining the World Trade Organization.
With Prime Minister Vladimir Putin leading all polls prior to Sunday's presidential vote, though, the question of how Russia's foreign policy would change under his return to the presidency is coming into focus.
Venezuela's president says he will continue leading the country, even as he travels to Cuba to undergo new surgery to remove a potentially cancerous lesion.
Hugo Chavez said he will travel Friday to Havana and expects to have the surgery early next week. Speaking during a nationally televised cabinet meeting, the Venezuelan leader said he would return "with more energy, more enthusiasm, more happiness."
Chavez, who is seeking re-election later this year, has not specified how long he will need to stay in Cuba for treatment.
Relentless Syrian shelling Wednesday in the opposition stronghold of Homs has killed at least 19 people including two Western journalists, as government forces escalated attacks on rebel bases.
The French government identified the dead reporters as Marie Colvin, a prominent American war correspondent working for Britain's Sunday Times newspaper, and French photojournalist Remi Ochlik. Activists said several other journalists were wounded in the attack on a makeshift media center in the rebel-held Baba Amr district of Homs.
It has been more than 10 years since President Robert Mugabe's government began seizing white-owned commercial farms for redistribution to poor blacks.
The beneficiaries were his supporters, however, with many of the elite, including the presidential couple, acquiring multiple farms. The seizures in Zimbabwe left thousands of farm hands, who used to work for the white farmers, jobless, destitute and facing eviction.
Serbs in northern Kosovo cast a near unanimous rejection of a referendum on whether to recognize the country's ethnic Albanian dominated government after two days of voting.
The Kosovo Serb electoral commission said 99.7 percent of voters in the four Serbian communities in northern Kosovo opposed the referendum.
Ethnic Serbs have ignored Pristina's efforts to extend its authority into the northern areas since Kosovo gained independence in 2008.
Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta welcomed Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping to the Pentagon with full military honors for what was the first ceremony of its kind for a visiting vice president, Defense Department officials said.
Neither Panetta nor Xi spoke publicly at the ceremony, where they took the reviewing stand before formations of the four military services on the Pentagon's River Terrace parade field. The ceremony began with a 19-gun salute and the playing of the Chinese, then the American, national anthems on what was an unseasonably warm winter day.
Iran hailed its advanced nuclear capabilities Wednesday by unveiling what it says are a new generation of centrifuges to speed up uranium enrichment and its first domestically produced fuel rods.
The semi-official Fars news agency reported Wednesday that the new carbon fiber centrifuges have been installed and operated at a uranium enrichment plant in the central desert city of Natanz.
South Sudan has threatened to keep the oil pipeline to the Red Sea shut permanently following a failed round of talks on sharing revenues with Sudan. The shutdown is costing the two countries hundreds of millions of dollars a month. Six days of African Union-mediated talks ended Wednesday, with the two sides seemingly farther apart than when they began.
South Sudan's chief negotiator Pagan Amum emerged from a long night of negotiations saying he sees no reason to continue discussing oil payments with the Khartoum government.
Final negotiations begin in July on the Arms Trade Treaty. The agreement would control the global trade in conventional weapons from rifles to tanks to warships. This week, the last round of preliminary talks is being held in New York.
In late 2006, the United Nations adopted resolution 61/89 that allowed work to begin on the Arms Trade Treaty, or ATT.
The proposed agreement has the support of 100 civil society groups, including the West Africa Network on Small Arms. Baffour Amoa is president of the NGO.

Bump, and thank you for your service
I don't recall a single class on the Constitution when I was in high school.
I never had a civics class, either.
Somehow, in my mid-20's deep (at the time, for me - but nothing compared to the kids these days) in student loan debt, working a job I hated to pay it off, the thought popped into my mind - from where, I don't know - but pop it did:
What does it mean that America is a free country?
I'd heard that all my life. I think I was about 26-27 when that though popped in there, somehow, and switched on a light. What does it mean?
What was I free to do?
I never got a good answer, but thankfully, I liked to read, and this book for me marked a turning point:
The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age
How did I find it, I can't remember. There was a Borders on the first floor of my office building where I liked to browse at lunch, and after work. Somehow I stumbled across it. And that, really, I think was the start of my journey.
The Ron Paul Revolution - that was another big stop along the journey. But the journey continues.
Thank God. Thank Glorious God for the transformative power of the Universe!
- - - - -
You did a wonderful thing, Mr. Math Teacher, amc1953. You do a wonderful thing. You have no idea how far your influence will travel. Thank you, not only for what you did today, on Constitution day, but for sharing it with us. Not only did you inspire your students today, no doubt. But you inspired us here. Of course I can only speak for myself, so let me tell you. You inspired me.
Thank you.
He's the man.

Diez y Seis will be marked at West Oso
The community is invited to celebrate the 197th anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain at 7 p.m. Saturday at the West Oso High School Auditorium, 5202 Bear Lane.
On Sept. 16, 1810, Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla ordered the arrest of Spaniards in the village of Dolores, Guanajuato. He gathered the townspeople and delivered "El Grito," a call to arms against Spain.
The celebration will include dances, mariachi music, speakers and a Grito Ceremony. Free. Information: 993-1450 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Use Heavy-Duty Lifts to Repair or Enhance Your Riding Lawn Mower
Using lifts makes it much easier to do repairs or add attachments to your riding lawn mower. Kmart carries a selection of name brand heavy-duty lifts that support up to 750 pounds. If you need to replace a tractor blade or just want to perform a tune-up, then you require a sturdy lift to make your job much easier.
If you plan to install a Craftsman mulch kit on your yard tractor, the MoJack EZ Lawn Mower Lift can help. Use the spin handle to easily lift the mower to the desired height, and install the mulching blade of your choice. Using the MoJack EZ Lawn Mower Lift makes it much easier to replace a tractor blade, and the lift gives you more area to work with when compared to a standard ramp.
Replacing tractor belts and blades is easy when you use a Craftsman tractor lift. The lift features a stabilizer bar that prevents your mower from swaying or leaning when lifted, and the simple lever action makes it simple to lift the mower from the front or the rear. When the lift is not in use, it folds away for easy storage, and its ergonomic T-handle provides added comfort when lifting. Use the Craftsman lift to adjust the tractor's height. Afterward, replace the blades, or install a new Snapper PTO belt more easily. When you use a lift, you have more room to work even in the smallest garage.
Whether you're changing the oil or installing miscellaneous tractor accessories, an Ohio Steel tractor lift improves your productivity. With the tractor at the desired height, you can easily place a Blitz Less Mess oil drain beneath the mower. After draining the oil, install a new Craftsman Briggs & Stratton oil filter before refilling the oil tank. A lift also helps you change the tractor's tires or to make repairs on the axles. Lift the tractor to install an MTD wheel kit or Craftsman universal wheel bolts in place, and take the hard work out of making tire repairs on the floor.
When you invest in heavy-duty lifts for the riding mower, you make it easier to perform repairs and installations on your tractor. Shop at Kmart for the biggest inventory of professional tractor attachments and lawn care accessories for your riding mower.

Xtreme Illustrations
Despite the niggling bad points, I'm thoroughly impressed with Xara Xtreme, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a proper pro-level graphics app on Linux. Although squirrelly with imports and extremely large canvas sizes, for most projects, this program will serve nicely. It's suitable for design, for translating photos into vector-based paintings, for creating animation characters and for designing all kinds of Web graphics, print graphics, logos and mock-ups. The gallery on the Web site makes it clear that, with two months of use, I've still scratched only the surface of this deceptively simple program. Well worth the download, Xara Xtreme requires almost no time to learn and produces professional results, even in the hands of the most novice professional.
In the graphics space, this is how programs should be designed. Hooray for Xara for its decision to open source its project. Let's hope, in the long run, that decision pays off as handsomely for the company as it already is for this community member.
Xara Xtreme can be downloaded from www.xaraxtreme.org.
A quick series of comprehensive video tutorials to bring new users up to speed can be found at www.xaraxtreme.org/about/movies.html.
Inkscape, the current open-source top dog and still an excellent program, can be obtained at www.inkscape.org.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

RDF - Resource Description Framework
RDF is short for Resource Description Framework.
RDF is a general framework for describing website metadata, or "information about the information" on the website. It provides interoperability between applications that exchange machine-understandable information on the Web. RDF details information such as a site's sitemap, the dates of when updates were made, keywords that search engineslook for and the Web page's intellectual property rights.
Developed under the guidance of the World Wide Web Consortium, RDF was designed to allow developers to build search engines that rely on the metadata and to allow Internet users to share Web site information more readily. RDF relies on XMLas an interchange syntax, creating an ontology system for the exchange of information on the Web.
