XDiceLock 188.8.131.52 for Apple Mac OS X is the cryptographic architecture that ensures that ciphertext it's not just encrypted but also randomized.
DiceLock cipher architecture presents two main configurations:
– Dicelock Digested, and
– Dicelock Indexed.
DiceLock encryption architecture improves symmetric ciphers like block cipher as Advanced Encryption Standard, Camellia, Serpent, Twofish (128, 192 and 256 bit key lengths) with different block cipher operation modes (like CBC, CFB, OFB and XTS) and stream ciphers as HC 128, HC 256, Rabbit, Salsa 20/20, Sosemanuk and others.
DiceLock (both configurations) makes use of the following random number tests: Frequency Test, Block Frequency Test, Cumulative Sum Forward Test, Cumulative Sum Reverse Test, Runs Test, Longest Run Of Ones Test, Rank Test, Universal Test, Approximate Entropy Test, Serial Test and Discrete Fourier Transform Test.
Additionally DiceLock Digested configuration makes use currently of following hash digest algorithms: Sha 1, Sha 224, Sha 256, Sha 384, Sha 512, Ripemd 128, Ripemd 160, Ripemd 256, Ripemd 320, Md2, Md4 and Md5.
Previous version XDiceLock 220.127.116.11 for Apple Mac OS X incorporated XTS-AES (XEX-based tweaked-codebook mode with ciphertext stealing XTS block cipher operation mode algorithm) for Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES) for 128 and 256 bit symmetric keys.
New version XDiceLock 220.127.116.11 for Apple Mac OS X has made significant improvements:
- added block encryption ciphers like Camellia, Serpent and Twofish with all accepted key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits,
- added stream ciphers like Rabbit, Salsa 20/20 with 128 and 256 bit key lengths, and general Sosemanuk, as well as Sosemanuk with 128 and 256 bit key lengths,
- added old hash algorithms like Message Digest 2, Message Digest 4 and Message Digest 5,
- modified DiceLockIndexed and DiceLockDigested classes to be used with encryption ciphers that does not make use of initialization vector (IV),
- created DiceLockIVDigested and DiceLockIVIndexed classes to be used with encryption ciphers that makes use of initialization vector (IV),
- extended DiceLockXTSDigested and DiceLockXTSIndexed classes to be use with newly added Camellia, Serpent and Twofish block ciphers and all three key lengths (128, 192 and 256 bit key lengths),
- added old encryption ciphers like DEA (Data Encryption Algorithm), TDEA (Triple Data Encryption Algorithm), and ARC4 (alleged RC4) for compatibillity reasons.
As the new version XDiceLock 18.104.22.168 for Apple Mac OS X is developed, all individual components must be tested and verified, and in this article we verify ARC 4 Discarding class (computing ARC 4 Discarding stream cipher algorithm).
At the bottom of the post you can find C++ source code being used to perform this test.
Verified XDiceLock 22.214.171.124 for Apple Mac OS X
Verification components:
– Stream encryption cipher algorithm: ARC4_Discarding class
– Discarded initial bytes: 512
– Test set: IETF RFC 6229, 64 bit key, set 1
– Bit stream memory management: PhysicalCryptoRandomStream class (memory pages kept in RAM, not swapped to file)
Memory characteristic used in this test:
PhysicalCryptoRandomStream class makes use of mlock that uses physical nonpaged memory, preventing that memory from being paged to the swap area, so memory is not swapped to hard disk. The pages are guaranteed to stay in RAM until later PhysicalCryptoRansomStream object is deleted.
In order to use PhysicalCryptoRandomStream class, the process must be privileged (CAP_IPC_LOCK) in order to lock memory, and since Linux 2.6.9, no limits are placed on the amount of memory that a privileged process can lock and the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK soft resource defines the limit on how much memory an unprivileged process may lock.
|Input plaintext: 4112 zero bytes
|Key: 0102030405060708
Once computed we've got the following results:
|Checking deciphered text with input plaintext: OK
XDiceLock 184.108.40.206 for Apple Mac OS X C++ source code used in this test:
– XDiceLock 188.8.131.52 for Apple Mac OS X
– XDiceLockCipher.h
– baseCryptoRandomStream.h
– baseCryptoRandomStream.cpp
– physicalCryptoRandomStream.h
– physicalCryptoRandomStream.cpp

The 10 Elements of Sally Draper's Style We Want to Steal
The moment Zoe Saldana appeared on screen as a blue-skinned creature in the CGI blockbuster Avatar, she proved two things: versatility is her forte and she looks good in everything. Saldana, one of ELLE's 2009 Women in Hollywood, nails roles in action (Colombiana), sci-fi (Star Trek Into Darkness), and even dark comedy (Death at a Funeral). The Latina star's range extends off-camera to her style, with choices that include full-on couture, sleek suits, and chic LBDs.

Mana Energy Potion
Imagine this: You have been up all night gaming, chatting with friends, and working on school projects with no end in sight. Do you a) go to bed, b) put on some coffee while waking up your roommate, or c) chant a spell for instant mana. Well if you haven't mastered the instant mana spell yet, you can always drink one of these! The Mana Energy Potion is an energy shot made from the good things in life: caffeine (equivalent to two cans of Red Bull), Vitamin B12, and other good for you vitamins. Since there is no sugar you can count on 5-8 hours of jitter-free energy, which may be just enough time to finish your campaign and head to class. Besides giving awesome amounts of energy, the Mana potion container is the perfect accessory to show off to your friends. Mana Energy Potions come in packs of 2 all the way to packs of 96 (for the most dedicated geeks). One sip and you fall for the sweet and tangy flavor that will send your taste buds on a trip! I highly recommend Mana potions over other energy drinks. These potions give you pure energy, without the headaches later.

Suno Fall 2012
When designers pass through the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund they undoubtedly emerge with a galvanized spirit and courageous resolve to raise their game. So when, like Suno's Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty, you've laid the foundations of your line in clattering, cacophonous prints and then everyone around you chooses to play around with that too, how do you evolve into something new and, most importantly, relevant? The duo replied unfazed to that question, with a series of charming, figurative outlines illustrating fantastical woodlands and brimming with creatures that danced across billowing silk dresses (inspired by Edward Gorey, Shel Silverstein, and the Brothers Grimm). The artisanal approach did indeed feel fresh, particularly after last season's flood of digitally manipulated patterns. Beatty simply puts it as: "Max and I are allowed to play because that's the brand that's been established. We're cheating ourselves if we don't."
But that ethereal, free-flowing mood, although signature of the line and further underscored by an enchanting jewelry collaboration with fellow Fashion Funder Pamela Love (whose brass cutout adornments echoed the prints), was given limits. The pair reined in their starting point, which Beatty described as a "viewpoint of whimsy and childhood glee," with the considered addition of vests and outerwear inspired by army fatigues, a splash of urban black, and the type of distinguished Savile Row stripes, running down oversize blazers and skinny pants, that could easily have been swiped from a dapper schoolboy's scarf. Storybook references and childhood nostalgia aside, it was the duo's uncharted foray into cocktail attire that felt ostensibly new. Intricately beaded sheath dresses, diligently embroidered by artisans in India, stood out not least for their sequins arranged in bedazzling flora, but also for the grown-up silhouettes that contained them. Indeed, much of the unstructured, bohemian femininity that had gone before had, if not been pulled inward entirely, then at least was deliberately structured into voluminous peg pants and oversize suits. (Even former chunky platforms were replaced this season with lean, vertiginous booties by British footwear maestro Nicholas Kirkwood). But it was the unexpected pairing of military tunics and calf-skimming gilt-embroidered peasant skirts that spoke of the pair's modern approach to evening with a youthful bent, and proved Osterweis and Beatty are well en route to expanding the horizons of what Suno—and themselves as designers—can be.

Woman dies when ATV overturns in Columbia County
Published: Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 6:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 6:48 p.m.
A woman died Saturday afternoon in Columbia County when an all-terrain vehicle on which she was riding overturned, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
Dead is Gina Marie Rodriguez, 31, of Fort Lauderdale, FHP stated in a press release.
The accident happened at about 12:40 p.m. on Old Bellamy Road west of U.S. 441 in southern Columbia County. Rodriguez was on a 2003 Polaris Ranger with Michelle Elizabeth Texeria, 29, of Hollywood, and Kevin Andrew Edwards, 24, of Cooper City.
The driver, who has not been determined, failed to maintain control of the ATV, FHP said. The vehicle rotated in a clockwise motion and overturned on its side, FHP reported.
Rodriguez was ejected from the vehicle. Texeria and Edwards had minor injuries. Blood samples were obtained, and the results are pending. Charges are also pending, FHP said.

THURROCK was bombarded by all sorts of extreme weather this weekend as it was reported a record amount of rain fell today.
Thurrock Weather tweeted this afternoon how almost THREE inches an hour were lashing the borough.
The torrential rain led to roads and pavements being heavily flooded and train services disrupted.
Greater Anglia suspended its trains to and from Southend after a lightning bolt struck a signal in Billericay at about 4pm.
And a house in Aveley was reportedly hit by lightning too.
The Environment Agency put out a flood warning for parts of Essex and Thurrock earlier.
A spokesman said: "River levels are likely to continue to rise. Over the next 12 hours the forecast is for thunderstorms.
"The Environment Agency is monitoring the situation closely, working alongside partners including the Met Office and local authorities."
Meanwhile Essex Fire Service admits its resources are stretched as crews strike while the storm clean-up takes place.
The Fire Brigade's Union (FBU) has called a strike between 5pm and 7pm.
A spokesman for the service said: "Canvey is one area particularly affected but calls have also included Southend, Harlow, Aveley, Ongar, and Corringham and resources are stretched.
"Incidents range from people stranded in vehicles that are stuck in flood water, cables arcing, hedgerow fires, to a house fire following a lightning strike. we respond to flood incidents where there is risk to life.
"FBU members began their strike at 5pm and until 7pm calls are being covered by working crews."
In the lead-up to the flash flooding there was a series of electrical storms today and on Friday - and inbetween there was the intense heat of Saturday.
Reports emerged yesterday afternoon of how the soaring temperatures caused part of a celing at Lakeside shopping centre to collapse (pictured).

Game No. 51, 2009. Sam Weinman threw it to me.
He handed over a playoff-bound team that was doing fine … although plenty of fans, blogsters (not yet tabbed as Boneheads) had their doubts and their worries.
See, in Game 49 the Rangers won their second game in a row, and fifth in their last six. In Game 50, before Sam broke our hearts and left for literally greener fairways,they lost at Pittsburgh, 6-2. Still, they were 29-17-4 for 62 points, second in the Atlantic and fifth in the East.
Well, we know what started with that Pittsburgh game. I took over the blog. The Rangers were shut out 1-0 in Boston, and the downward spiral that included the 10-2 loss in Dallas followed, soon to result in the Feb. 23 coaching change … although not a lot of change in the scoring woes … and then a blown 3-1 lead in the first round of the playoffs, in which they ultimately were undone by their inability, again, to score. (side note: Feb. 2009 crushed the blog record for traffic because of all the controversy).
This season, the Rangers won Game 50 for a two-game winning streak in which they have scored 14 goals in the last five periods, after scoring one in the previous 10 periods. They are 24-19-7 for 55 points, third in the Atlantic, sixth in the East. In other words, not quite as good as last year. Just sayin'.
Now that I've gotten that out there, and for no good reason other than I realized that this is where I came in last season … there are 32 left, with tonight's game in Philly a massive barometer for your heroes (who are 10-3-4 in their last 17, by the way).

Apple will always be a top seller. Even though on contract the other devices will be around 100 bucks on release(Samsung and htc devices) and the iPhones will be more. The iPhone always seems to sell out. Even if its going from a 4 to 4s. Say what u want about the same look every year. People still stand in line hours before the doors open. Quality apps with a smooth experience count me in. The htc one is nice as well I like the speakers in the front of the device. But the apps are what matter to me not the quantity but the quality. Their are a lot of pointless App Store apps but the ones that are on both platforms 9 out of 10 the app that's on the iPhone platform will be more superior. I'm not talking about the sharing option or how it integrates into the os but the smoothness of the app and how well it performs.....
Apple doesn't always just dominate. There sells drop, their shares/stocks plummet just like everyone else. Lets not let our selves be blinded by fanboism ok guys?
Just because we like something we can't ignore facts lol which happens more often than not. I wanna state a fact right now, I know some of samsungs software features may be called "gimmicky" but what would we all say of Apple would have added those features first? Would we cat gimmicky or innovating? Ima say the latter just out of pure fanboism. It's true, trust me I know. I'm as guilty as the next guy, I love my iPhone, having had one since 2007.
But that give me a right to be a jerk to other people because of my own POV! So let's just keep it cool. One thing is fact though and iPhones do hold resale value but only to people who love iPhones. Androids are just as much a resale value to hardcore android guys so again keep the fanboism down fellas.
Lets not live the stereotype, the iSheep are blind retards lol.
Lastly, why does iOS 7 look like it was made by a group of hooked on phonics children? iOS 7 is crap and I thought Were supposed to be moving forward not going backwards??? Wth!?
Use to love and have an iphone, Iphone is boring same old look over and over again. iphone 4 ,4s, 5 same look same old desing yes they change it a lil on the 5 but same copy from the 4.4s xD, SOLD that old iphone and get me a note 2 LOVE IT. i mean i still like iphone but apple need a new all new iphone not just a iphone 4.4s or 5 copy desing OS 7 sucks i hate it jajaja color back ground sucks what ever you still like iphne good for you or samsung phone good for you ITS JUST A PHONE PPL you like what you like\\\\\
You can always jailbreak and change it. As long as the phone functions the way it always has, that's all I really care about. To each their own tho.

DAVE Attwood reckons Bath's miserable Premiership record at Gloucester in recent years should be a source of embarrassment to the squad as they prepare to enter the Kingsholm cauldron again tomorrow (3.15pm).
While they have tasted success at the home of their west country rivals in the LV= Cup, Bath's winless streak in the league stretches back to February 2006 and, with their play-off place yet to be secured, Attwood and co need to end that record this weekend.
Attwood, who joined Bath from Gloucester at the start of the 2011-12 campaign, said: "I think it gets brushed over sometimes that that really matters.
"That (winless record at Kingsholm) has got to smart for a club like this, especially playing the way we're playing. We don't like to let little wrinkles like that go and we're very keen to get the result up there.
"For me, it's one of the first games I look for on the fixture list but in terms of this organisation, it's an opportunity to put a bit more of a padlock down on that top four position.''
Attwood celebrated his 27th birthday last Saturday by captaining this side to their Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final success over Brive 24 hours later but while Bath were comfortable 39-7 winners in that tie, the England lock knows the intensity level will go up a notch this time.
Gloucester bowed out of Amlin tournament at Wasps on the same day and Attwood said: "They are going to be smarting from a loss at the weekend and we're going to have an awful lot of work to do to quell that before we can start playing.
"We need to match their emotion and their intensity and all the hype around the derby fixture so that we can start expressing ourselves in the way we are able to when we are firing.
"It's a local derby and they will raise the temperature a little bit and before you know it, they are simmering nicely.
"It's important we don't get up there and get blown away by their emotion for the first 10 minutes and end up chasing the game. We need to start well, with really good intent, climb on top and stay there.
"I love playing at Kingsholm, I think it's one of the best stadiums we play at, partly due to the facilities but particularly due to the crowd and their involvement in the game.
"They've got some very vocal and knowledgeable support. They get involved in the game a lot and it's quite important from our point of view we don't let them get too involved because they can get on top of referees and your decision makers if you let them.''

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Original Creator
I think in the author template, when adopted is used, doesn't give enough bolding/emphasis on "Original Creator". I'm not much of a UI person so I'm not sure how to fix that. Any ideas? Surgo 18:19, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
- It looks like the difference between the "Adopter" and "Original Creator" boxes may be due to the line "! colspan="2" class="user" |" in the template. I'll test it on one of the pages with a temporary clone template. Quantumboost 19:02, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Cool. Just saying, though: I know how to fix that much; what I really meant was that I wasn't enough of an artist to better make the eye drawn to the original creator. Surgo 19:18, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Oh. Yeah. In that case, I'm not much more qualified to do anything about it. XD Quantumboost 19:53, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
- We already have lots of attention given to whoever owns it, we can just decide that we want that attention to whoever wrote it instead of whoever owns / is maintaining it. If that would work, we just can change teh bahavior of the template such that it leaves the original creator in the top box for attention purposes and just doesn't make it a link, and then have adopter be the line immediately beneath and a live link to the user. That boosts the author's presence a lot and dumps the adopter down to glorified babysitter (in my head anyway), but probably works better for things where that's all that they are anyway. For actual shared works with a lead and active contributors we have the contributors tag (which I want to change to co-authors or whatever since contributor is a rather broad term on a wiki, but I digress), which I think covers cases where someone adopts it and then turns around and does lots of work on it (like I intend to do with Jay's stuff that I took over) better anyway. - TarkisFlux 21:32, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
- I've got something to add to this. I've recently been updating my old articles to get them into prime (as I can get) working order. This involves a lot of changes to articles. I've been kinda curious, because I've got some adopted articles that are basically total re-writes in terms of mechanics and fluff text, but maintain the concept of the original article (thus still being a derivative work of it). Now, if an adopted article no longer goes along the same concept and is no longer recognizable as the source material, is is fair to claim it as an original work? I guess the example I'm getting at here is the asuta (formerly deathly asuta, formerly Ðèäth Äñgè‡). Check here for the lovely original before I adopted it and check here for the newly revised version (with the now asuta paragon class as well). I really don't care either way, just curious is all for precedent. To be fair, the asuta does maintain some of the original ideas of the Ðèäth Äñgè‡, which is why I've kept it under "Adopted".
- I think that's a case where you should be moved into the author space (since it's your work at this point) and they should be moved into the contributor space (since they kicked in substantially with ideas). I don't know that it's what we want as a wiki, but that's how it looks to me and how I would assign credit. Which means I should probably figure out a way to split up wiki co-authors from non-wiki co-authors so that we don't have link issues... blegh... - TarkisFlux 05:13, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yesterday, my blog engine .TEXT failed for no good reason.
All apologies for the outage.
This underscores the need to move off a defunct blog platform: no one supports .TEXT anymore (and really hasn't since 2005).
I'm currently in the process of moving the site over to Orchard.
Last night, I put together an export utility to take all 3200+ posts from my blog and put it into BlogML, an XML based markup language for describing blog content.
There's an Orchard module that imports BlogML files and, after some tweaks to the input XML file, I converted my blog content over.
So far, the only catch is the sheer volume of content I need to migrate.
The BlogML importer crashed repeatedly when I tried to bring in all 3200 at once, so I'll give it another go tonight a few hundred at a time and see how that goes.

High-Flying Camera: DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Drone Promises Stabilized HD Video
Camera drones are increasingly popular among sports and photography enthusiasts for their ability to capture stunning images from above. DJI, a company that specializes in small remote-controlled aerial vehicles, now sells a camera-equipped quadcopter that can shoot photos and high-definition videos in winds of up to 25 miles per hour.
The newly updated Phantom 2 Vision+ drone comes outfitted with a 14-megapixel camera that captures 1080p high-def video at a rate of 30 frames per second. In order to generate less-blurry images and steadier video when faced with challenging wind conditions or high flight speed, the drone camera also now has integrated stabilization.
The drone comes with an app—available for iOS and Android devices—that pilots and/or photographers can use to see what the aerial camera is seeing in real time and even control the camera from up to 700 meters away. (The camera has its own Wi-Fi network, so additional Wi-Fi or a cellular network are not necessary.) The app also shows flight information including altitude, distance from pilot and battery strength.
The Phantom 2 has GPS to keep track of its location, and can hover in place when the pilot isn't at the controls. DJI's software also lets you automatically avoid flying near airports or other no-fly zones.
As for battery life, the Phantom 2 promises up to 25 minutes, relatively good for a drone in this class.
What they don't say in the press release: While drones are legal for personal use, drone operators should always keep their aerial vehicles within view, and should be careful not to run afoul of state and federal privacy laws. As drones proliferate, you can expect updates to the legal situation, too.
The Phantom 2 Vision+ drone is priced at $1,299. DJI hasn't revealed exactly when it will start selling the new drones.

Twins strand too many runners in loss to Royals
Hughes' first quality start in three weeks, but gets little support
KANSAS CITY -- It's telling that the Twins went just 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position against the Royals on Wednesday night, and yet slightly improved their average in those situations since the All-Star break.
Phil Hughes turned in his first quality start in more than three weeks, but Minnesota's offense faltered with runners in scoring position yet again to leave nine runners on base in a 3-2 loss to Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium.
It's become a disturbing trend for the Twins, as they're hitting just .165 (14-for-85) with runners in scoring position in their 12 games since the All-Star break and have just a 4-8 record over that span.
"We left plenty of guys out there," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We had chances with men on third and less than two outs and we struck out in a lot of those situations."
Hughes, who left his last start after just three-plus innings after being hit on his right shin by a comebacker, cruised through five scoreless innings before running into trouble in the sixth.
The Royals scored three runs that frame keyed by RBI doubles from Salvador Perez, Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas. It was all the damage the Royals would do against Hughes, who gave up three runs on seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts. He registered his first quality start since July 8, but was stuck with his third straight loss.
"That's what's crazy about baseball," Moustakas said. "You can be cruising through the whole game and then, all of a sudden, one inning comes by where we're up. But the more times you see a guy, see what he's throwing the better off you're going to be."
Hughes said the Royals simply made it a mission to go after first-pitch fastballs that inning and it paid off, as the doubles from Perez and Moustakas both came on first-pitch heaters.
"Their approach to jump on first-pitch fastballs turned out to be a good one," Hughes said. "I left a few balls over the plate for doubles and that's the game. It's unfortunate. I felt like I had good stuff all night."
Hughes simply wasn't helped by the offense, as the Twins had plenty of chances but could not cash in and struck out 11 times on the night.
Minnesota opened the scoring in the second on a solo homer from Josh Willingham off Royals left-hander Danny Duffy.
But they ran themselves out of a potential big inning in the fourth, as Brian Dozier and Willingham executed a double steal with one out but Dozier was thrown out easily at home plate by shortstop Alcides Escobar while trying to advance after the ball got away from Moustakas at third base.
"I saw the ball got past him and rolling down the line but did not see Escobar," Dozier said. "I just tried to make an aggressive play."
It was the third out on the bases for the Twins on the night, as Eduardo Nunez and Sam Fuld were both picked off first base earlier in the game.
"That guy is really quick to first base but the 3-0 one with Sammy on first base is inexcusable," Gardenhire said. "With three balls and no strikes, you can't get picked off."
The Twins had another prime opportunity in the sixth with the bases loaded and two outs, but reliever Jason Frasor struck out Chris Colabello looking to get out of the inning.
Minnesota made it a one-run game in the seventh on an RBI single from Danny Santana off reliever Kelvin Herrera with nobody out after a double from Chris Parmelee and a single from Nunez. Fuld bunted over both runners but they were left there, as Dozier and Willingham struck out on 101 mph fastballs to end the frame.
Royals reliever Wade Davis tossed a perfect eighth before handing it over to closer Greg Holland, who labored through the ninth but was able to strand Nunez at third base by striking out Fuld looking on a curveball to end the game.
"It was frustrating," Fuld said. "Any time you lose a good battle like that it's frustrating, especially with the game on the line. So you have to tip your cap to Holland. He made a good pitch there."

"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I honestly think if he gets dealt it will be the A's. Beane is one of the few GMs who understands what Dunn is and what he isn't. He also knows what other GMs want(and is the master of the three way deal) and at some point I think krivsky will bite the bullet and take a bad deal from someone. The Dodgers are the most logical trading partner but they are the wrong organization.
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
If the franchise gets as little from a Dunn trade as it did the Kearns/Lopez deal, you can turn off the lights on this decade.
Why not Tromp?
If they indeed want to deal him and have been planning on doing it for sometime, 2006 would have been the time to do it. The contract looks a heck of a lot better for the team acquiring him and gives them a full year to work on an extension.
The Reds, in turn, get better return. If they deal him now, they get way less.
2006 set this organization back a few years.
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
I'm also all for dealing Griffey, his value is at a peak after quite awhile... time to cash in those chips.
Speaking of Mirages, this year has been a delightful way to celebrate the ten year anniversary of the arrival of Chris Stynes and Jon Nunnelly.
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
Man, this all makes me so nervous. We already have a team full of prospects and to trade the production Dunn can do for the hope one or two works out just scares the hell out of me. Now, if we could get the trade done and pre-work a deal for Dunn to come back next year as a free agent I would be all for it. LOL Didn't this happen with Kent Merker? Well, I know it wasn't pre-planned, but he came back to the reds shortly after being traded.
And This One Belongs to the REDS!!!
I'm wondering why all of a sudden renting a player has become a bad thing?
Also, I'm sure you all are familiar with the saying, "The customer is always right." Just playing devil's advocate here but it seems to me that the majority of customers (Reds Fans who go to games) want Dunn traded. Some may want more for him than others but the general consensus is that they want him gone. So, if the customer is always right, should Wayne trade Dunn? Obviously even the most avid Dunn hater would like something in return but if the fans want him gone, should Wayne trade him and get the best deal he can for him?
Love him or hate him, but when Dunn comes to bat people stay in their seat in hopes to see a 500 ft HR. He has what 215HRs.
And This One Belongs to the REDS!!!
I agree with Reds1. Don't trade him unless you can get a good return. I don't think there's going to be a $13.5 million way to replace Dunn's production during the offseason. I think we're losing sight of that.
"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
If we can't get value for Dunn now I keep him and move him in the off season after we pick up his $13mill option. From what I've read we still would have about 11 teams eligible to trade him to according to his contract. That's a decent number. WK can't be of the mindset that he has to deal Dunn now. I don't want to see a Dave Williams coming back our way...

Topic: 10 Ways You Know That Your Doctor is an Oncologist
- Emily Hollenberg, Cancer Survivor
10. Even though he/she is wearing a white lab coat and not a military uniform, words like battle, fight, war and weapons are frequently used in the conversation.
9. You know that your doctor is an oncologist at a medical center when he/she uses "oma" words like carcinoma, lymphoma and melanoma instead of cancer.
8. He/she tries to explain to you why a low grade is better than a high grade on your path report. (I could have used that approach explaining my grades to my parents.)
7. He/she wants you to be excited when your tests come back negative not positive, of course this does not fit with most life experiences when you know it is better to be positive than negative.
6. He/she talks a lot about trials and as far as you know is not a lawyer or a judge.
5. When shaking hands with you at your initial appointment, you have a feeling that your veins are being checked out.
4. Asks you if you want a port and you know that this is not an invitation to have a drink.
3. Tells you that you will get a series of treatments and you keep wondering where the "treat" part comes in.
2. Tells you that you are on a protocol and it doesn't seem to fit with the dictionary definition. Protocol: form of ceremony and etiquette observed by diplomats and heads of state.
1. Has you sign a consent form for treatment that is more intimidating than the diagnosis.
I should add:
11. You can't spell his/her last name and saying it is practically a tongue twister.
Feel free to add your own.

President Obama plans to make the GOP pay dearly if they resist his demand for another round of "tax hikes on the rich" before he'll even consider more judicious cost-cutting; where the goal would be to cut where it would cause the least pain for the public and the national economy instead of the most pain possible to lay at the feet of the GOP, with an eye toward 2014 elections.
For example, he spent the week stumping in city after city warning that unless the GOP agrees to more tax hikes, "food aid would be denied to pregnant women, new mothers and infants."
He warned of "cutbacks in vitally-needed federal aid to local police and fire departments."
However, USDA found $75 million in new grant money for "research, education and extension activities to ensure greater food security in the U.S. and around the world." In a nation where obesity has become the number one health threat; that strikes cynics as an odd priority over keeping the nation's meat supply safe and flowing.
But USDA insists its hands are tied; every single department has to be trimmed. It can't just "move money around."
For example: $75 million divided among 8,400 federal meat inspectors works out to $8,930 each. So unless these folks are earning more than $4,465 per week, just cutting out a portion of this week's research grants would avoid having to shut down the nation's livestock and meat pipeline for two weeks at an estimated cost to the national economy of $10 billion.
But alas, discretion is not an option under sequester rules, says Ag Secretary Vilsack.
A new organization calling itself "Solutions from the Land" has released its first report "Developing a New Vision for United States Agriculture, Forestry, and Conservation." The report identifies five broad challenges and potential frameworks around which policies and practices might be constructed and will serve as a starting point for ongoing discussion among all stakeholders involved in land management.
The report will be released at the Farm Foundation® Forum on March 6. You can view live via webcast by contacting Ernie Shea, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by phone at 410-952-0123.
RFA accused a House subcommittee of "stacking the deck" in this week's hearings on the future of midlevel ethanol blends. Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dineen sent a blistering letter to committee members saying, in part, "It both saddens and angers me that in this day and age such a lopsided, stacked hearing could actually happen," adding, "It is shameful to see how tight a grip oil companies have on Congress."
The sole voice supporting E15 was Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., who also noted the "stacked deck" and chastised the committee for not even having anybody from the Department of Energy at the hearing.
Cellulosic biofuels are far from dead according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Last year only 20,000 gallons were produced, not even a "drop in the bucket" towards the 500 million gallon target set by Congress. But in 2013, breakthroughs in technology are expected to raise last year's output 250-fold; to 5 million gallons. Some will scoff that's still only 1% of the original target, but miss the point: EIA says cellulosic production will finally rise above the "heel" of the classic "hockey stick" formation on a long-term production charts.
They see potential for a vertical boom time in output beginning this year as companies who have struggled to find a way to do it on a commercial scale at competitive costs have met that goal and are now poised to rapidly ramp up production of biofuels from cellulosic feedstocks. Uncertainty over biofuel mandates has fueled a run on RINs!
The term stands for "renewable identification number" and every gallon of ethanol produced gets one. Refiners can get around blending renewables into gasoline themselves by purchasing RINs from refiners who have actually used more renewable fuel than was required of them. And they hit a new record high of 45 cents last week.
Now that ethanol consumption in the U.S. has hit the "blend wall", refiners would rather stock up on RINs than risk booking more ethanol than they'll be able to blend.

FindMyPast Ireland has added to their Irish Petty Sessions Collection. This is a very interesting set of records that covers 1828 – 1912. Petty Session records can uncover all sorts of crimes that our ancestors got up to ! As the title says these are petty crimes, but crimes never the less and no doubt were taken very serious locally. As several of my ancestors were known to be a little light fingered a few hundred years ago I have got to know Petty Session records quite well and I can recommend that you run your Irish family names through this collection.
This addition to the collection covers 44 new courts in 19 counties of Irelands, a further 55 courts have beend added to with records from extra years. The new courts are from the following counties –

HOUSTON - Of all the complaints of the summer -- the haze, the heat, the humidity -- nothing has people talking more this year than the West Nile virus outbreak that has killed almost 30 people in Texas.
For one family, five years ago the signs were there -- a summer evening spent outside, a dead Blue Jay found in a neighbor's yard, a seemingly healthy man suddenly got sick. But back then those pieces of information didn't immediately add up to much. Today, we know they point to a killer virus.
The West Nile virus scare is something we've grown to accept. But for June Metcalf, it's never far from her mind, no matter what time of year it is. In the summer of 2007, during National Night Out, neighbors gathered in the Metcalfs' front yard with lemonade and cookies. A mosquito, carrying West Nile virus, bit Roy Metcalf. Within days, the 83-year-old man was in the hospital. His health crumbled so fast doctors had trouble explaining it first.
"The mosquito bit him on Tuesday. Friday (he was) running a fever. Friday night (he had an) extreme fever. By that Monday he was on a ventilator," June Metcalf said.
A chance encounter with an infectious disease specialist finally provided the Metcalfs with a diagnosis. It was West Nile virus. From there, Roy Metcalf went from hospital to hospital, but the problems persisted. He was essentially paralyzed. The avid reader couldn't even focus on the pages of a book.
"His eye muscles wouldn't work. He couldn't lift his arms or legs, sit up or turn over in bed," said June Metcalf.
Problems with his facial muscles made it hard for Roy Metcalf to talk. But even in the hospital, June Metcalf said Roy Metcalf maintained his sense of humor.
"He was quite a cut up,"said June Metcalf, "(He) looked up at me and said, 'I must be real sick all my kids are here!'"
Surrounded by family and friends, Roy Metcalf fought hard to get home. A year after the initial bite, the community celebrated his homecoming. At the time, the family couldn't have been more grateful. Roy Metcalf, though in a wheelchair, had a big smile on his face. It had been a long and treacherous year since he slept under his own roof.
But that long-awaited homecoming was short-lived. Within a week, the West Nile virus that had been eating away at Roy Metcalf's body finally took his life.
Now, five years later, as we continue to learn about the virus -- how it survives, how it spreads, June Metcalf's advice to the rest of us is simple: "Take it seriously and use precautions ... you never know."
And believe her when she says you don't want to find out.
Through Roy Metcalf's experience, June Metcalf said she learned two important things. Getting an infectious disease specialist to look at your case is the key to having the best chance at properly diagnosing and treating West Nile virus. Also, she noticed improvement in Roy Metcalf when therapists worked on his mobility through physical therapy and she believes that would help in the recovery process.

Het appartement is goed gelegen tov openbaar vervoer en bezienswaardigheden.
Je moet wel van een drukke buurt houden! De gastheer is goed bereikbaar. Als je iets nodig hebt, regelt hij dat. De ruimte is kleiner dan opgegeven, maar alle spullen zijn op voorraad en het ziet er netjes uit.
It was a very nice and clean appartment - we felt us comfortable and save
and we enjoyed our trip to this great city
We had a great time in New York. Nice and clean appartment, we were with 5 persons, there was enough space. The host was friendly and helpfull.
Waren 7 Tage in NYC. Apartment ist an der Grenze von Littl Italy und China Town. Subway ist in ca. 5 Minuten zu erreichen, von wo man überall hin kommt. Die Brooklyn Bridge und das One Trade Center ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Apartment ist für 3 bis max. 4 Personen gut, wobei bei 4 Personen es schon eng wird. Alles sehr sauber. Für einen Trip, wo man eigentlich nur zum Schlafen im Apartment ist, vollkommend ausreichend. In Littl Italy kann man gut essen gehen. Vanessa ist eine sehr gute Gastgeberin, die auch bereits im Vorfeld viele Tipps übermittelt. Auch wenn man während des Aufenthalt was benötigt, ist sie direkt zu erreichen.
We, a family of 2 adults and 3 children (16, 18, 20), stayed for a week in the small but good app. The app is well located in the middle of Grand Street and a good place for all the trips we made. When we arrived a friend of Vanessa checked us in. The two beds in two seperat bedrooms were good. The sofabed in the small mainroom worked but was old and little bit dirty. The bathroom was small but had a bad, shower (in the bad) and toilet, which were oké. The app. was well cleaned. We didn,t need airco or heating. They looked old. We did only sleep in the app. For that purpose it's oké.
The communication with Vanessa went wrong for the check out. But her friend arranged a later check out. So we could leave the luggage a few more hours.
After all we had a great time in New York.
Klein appartement doch voor 2 koppels groot genoeg. Goede voorzieningen. Gelegen in Little Italy doch mijn inziens leek het meer op Chinatown. Goede verbinding met nabij gelegen metro station. Restaurantjes voldoende in de onmiddellijke buurt.
Genau das was wir gesucht haben,
eine nette Wohnung mit zwei Schlafzimmern, kleiner Küche (Gas wunderbar zum Kochen), Bad und Tisch mit der Gelegenheit zu viert zu frühstücken.
Die Lage mitten zwischen little italy und chinatown ist super.
Lärm war kein Problem da es abends auch in chinatown ruhiger wird und ein Schlafzimmer auch zum Innenhof gelegen ist.
Kann die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen.
The appartment is very well located in the heatr of Chinatown and the center of the fading Little Italy. The environment is lively, interesting and friendly. The appartment is clean and euquiped with everythinmg you need to cook and sleep when you're on vacation. It is not a place to hang out but definitely a nice place to stay when you're in new York,
Appartment is actually inbetween Little Italy and Chinatown. Metro stations are closeby and a bunch of nice cafes and restaurants.
The appartment was clean, had basic equipment in the little kitchen and lots of towels and bed sheets.
It is a little bit noisy to sleep but that is normal in New York, I guess. So, get a pair of earplugs for your trip.
The apartment was lovely. Just big enough for the three of us. Comfortable beds and really neat and clean. It's location is perfect for exploring NY; close to public transportation and surrounded by nice food. The hosts were very pleasant, are easy to communicate with and have a flexible, relaxed attitude making check in and check out very easy. I would certainly recommend this place to others, and if I go to NY again I would definitely stay at one of Vanessa places again.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
I wonder who wrote this article, especially the part about Marc Dutroux it's not a subject of joke
the h2g2 allusion is done billiantly
I have nothing against changing name of people,but if you are doing it, then, at least create a profile for it (I speak about "Guy Verhuffenkat")
About Marc Dutroux, it's not me but once someone said "you can laugh about anything, but not with anyone". Since most uncyclopedia's readers have a certain amount of humour, i guess it won't cause any problem.
- Personally, I find the Marc Dutroux stuff a bit distasteful and unrelatedly not funny. Should have made him a flower saleman or something. I don't know... Anyways, the mere fact that Dutroux is mentioned is no more a problem than it is for example to mention Hitler in the Germany-article. So yeah... Whatever. --⇔ Sir Mon€¥$ignSTFU F@H|VFP|+S 22:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- I wrote the stuff about Dutroux, just like I wrote large sections of the entries on "Brussels" and "Antwerp", and I am a Belgian citizen myself. I guess a lot of Belgians can understand the humour here. (Actually, some people took over my joke and edited other articles, making "Marc Dutroux II" the king of Belgium there as well...). But hey, you have "3 million" people banned because of the Prophet Muhammed, why delete a page on Marc Dutroux? Just a very logical question, from a Belgian inhabitant with a feeling for "dark" jokes.
This is the only part about Dutroux that was written by somebody else. It was added later on.
By the way, I was also the one who re-edited the "Guy Verhuffenkat"-part of the story. Just to make sure that I'm really willing to come up with good funny stories here, I'm not some sort of malevolent user. Thank you.

Hi Guys,
I recently started reading Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook, new book from Gary Vaynerchuk about social media and how to utilise it properly within your business. Like most things he publishes, this book is extremely useful for all users of social media from beginner to expert.
Definitely check this book out if you are already using social media or looking to take your business in to the world of social media.
I heard about that and I guess he speak right for the social media... you can also share your ideas here if you want at least you have help others too..
Sounds interesting, I'm going to check it out. Thanks for the tip.
I'm about half way through and have picked up some really great tips on creating interesting content for my Facebook page...
Still putting the book off until I get about 10 more long reads of my Pocket but it is definitely on my to-read list. Do share with us some of your biggest takeaways from the book once you are done with it, @Creative_PSD ; .
Creative PSD..... Dear will you send me the link of this book.... or if you read this and please share few most important tips with us... Thanks in advance..
I don't read the Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook - The Power of Social Media book... and maybe should be the next. Now I'mreading a fantastic bookod Perry Marshall, "Ultimate guide to Facebook Ads". This booktell you how create powerful Facebook Ads! I really suggest you.
This book is really popular and some of the famous brand today is using its method to get a pure understanding of what will works and what will don't before asking them to get your product and services.
Wow, the title itself is appealing to my ears. Sounds like boxing in the digital world.Kidding aside, it really sounds interesting. This is the right kind of resource I need to be cognizant enough in the social media field. I might as well search for it and include the book in my bucket list.
Social media is something every webmaster needs to "get". It's not a side thing like it was a few years ago. I learned a lot about Facebook marketing, like making a custom image for every blog post you share. The little detailed things are what I learned.

8 Healthy Pumpkin Recipesby Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, In Season, November 7, 2012
Packed with vitamin A, pumpkins are good for more than carving, and it's time to expand your palate beyond pumpkin pie. They're absolutely delicious in any of these 8 healthy recipes.
Nutrition Lowdown
Both fresh and canned pumpkins are packed with nutritional goodness. Oftentimes, recipes will use the canned pumpkin since it takes a little work to use fresh. If you choose canned pumpkin, make sure to purchase 100% pureed pumpkin, not pie filling (check the ingredient list).
One cup of canned pumpkin has 83 calories, 1 gram of fat and 7 grams of fiber. It also has close to 800% of your daily recommended amount of vitamin A, 49% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin K and 19% of your daily recommended amount of iron. It also has a good amount of vitamins E and C, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium, copper and manganese.
Creamy Risotto
This recipe uses a combo of diced and pureed pumpkin. Combined with mascarpone and fresh Parmesan cheese, it's heavenly.
Recipe: Creamy Baked Pumpkin Risotto (above)
Spiked Punch
Pureed pumpkin mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon and a splash of rum (for the adults) will help warm you up on a chilly night.
Recipe: Mexican Pumpkin Punch
Although Halloween has passed, this pumpkin pudding is a fun treat to make with the kids.
Recipe: Ghostly Pumpkin Pudding
This Rachel Ray pumpkin recipe is a must for all pumpkin lovers! Perfect for a weeknight family meal – total prep time is 30-minutes.
Recipe: Penne-Wise Pumpkin Pasta
I recently made a batch of these muffins before hurricane Sandy hit my area. My kids gobbled them down before the adults could take a bite!
Recipe: Pumpkin Muffins
This simple soup can be whipped up in 20 minutes using canned pumpkin, milk, chicken broth and cumin.
Recipe: Cumin Pumpkin Soup
Alton uses freshly shredded pumpkin in this recipe which can make bread or mini muffins.

Miss USA pretended to strip. BURN HER!
That didn't take long.
Rima Fakih, the Miss USA 2010 winner who's "flushing our society down the toilet" by winning a beauty pageant according to white people with the Internet, apparently competed in a pole-dancing contest for Detroit's Mojo in the Morning radio show in 2007 which is now being investigated by pageant officials. RadarOnline reports:
Mojo said that when the pageant spokesperson called his station, "They were not happy about the photos. They don't want this out there. I asked if something was wrong and they told me they couldn't comment on that and just needed to make a determination.
"Rima's a good girl. She was so incredible at the event and we don't think it should be a reflection of her Miss USA title," Mojo continued. "There are doctors and lawyers that are a part of those events we do, so we don't think the pageant should look at this in a negative way."
Of course, performing in a pole-dancing contest with your clothes on will soon be equated with claiming you were underage when a breeze blew your shirt open in front of a professional photographer, except just kidding, you really made 800 videos of yourself masturbating. I mean, the two are practically identical once you stop employing logic and recognize this woman is Obama's sleeper agent sent to murder us in the shower with affordable health care. DON'T TOUCH THAT SHAMPOO!

Particularly when an infant is born before 36 weeks'
gestation, the premature infant's lungs are immature,
and the body has limited muscle strength and energy for breathing. So the
premature infant may not get enough oxygen. This can
cause serious medical complications. It is common at birth for a premature
infant to need
oxygen therapy, a
ventilator, and/or medicine to help with oxygen
absorption and breathing.
Infants whose lungs have been quickly
matured with corticosteroid treatment before birth
(antenatal corticosteroids, given by injection to the mother) have
a lot fewer medical complications than those who are not treated.
Infants with underdeveloped lungs often lack surfactant, a substance that coats the airways, preventing
them from collapsing and sticking together. When premature lungs are treated
with surfactant after birth, the infant's blood oxygen levels usually improve
within minutes. Surfactant treatment reduces the risk and the severity of
respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature
infants as well as the overall risk of death.1
Surfactant also helps treat RDS.
Unlike corticosteroid treatment
before birth, giving corticosteroids to a baby after birth (postnatal) is losing favor in the medical community. Current
research is focusing on how this medicine can be safely used to improve lung
function without causing neurological deficits, gastrointestinal bleeding and
damage, blood sugar problems, and high blood pressure.

BBC sports presenter Mike Bushell took a break from his Sport Relief challenges to present prizes to winning bakers on Saturday.
The first Bucks Bake Off took place in Askett and had 118 entries in the five different categories, raising £1079.16 for BBC Sport Relief.
The champion of champions prize went to Pauline Greaves, who also won the celebration cake category for her barn creation. She received a KitchenAid food mixer as a prize.
The junior champion accolade went to Elisabeth Basnett, who won the cupcakes/muffins category for ages eight to 11 and received a Nude Audio Speaker.
The competition was set up by Beverley Glock, who runs a cooking school in Princes Risborough, and Catherine Lloyd Evans from Red Kite Communications.
Beverley said: "It was fantastic. We were hoping for 50 entries- that is what the Oxford Bake Off had the first year.
"We were basically working on up to 100 when we were sorting the goody bags out.
"To get 118 entries was just phenomenal."
There were four different age categories; seven and under, eight to 11, 12 to 15 and adults, with five different baking categories, each with a winner and two overall champions.
BBC sports presenter, Mike Bushell, who lives in the area, was on hand to give the awards out.
He completes an unusual one mile challenge for each Sport Relief event, which is held every two years and combines comedy and sport to raise money for charity.
This year he did a one mile snorkel in a bog in Wales, but did not quite get the world record as he didn't do it in the allotted time.
He said: "There have been so many challenges. To be at something which doesn't involve pain or an endurance test is nice and to come and taste some sweet things."
Pauline Greaves, who won the adult champion prize, had been decorating cakes for only two years and it was the first competition she entered.
Beverley said: "She burst into tears on Mike Bushell's shoulder. She was so completely overwhelmed- she couldn't believe it.
"That was the whole point of doing this- for someone like that to win was so brilliant and much better than someone who was a professional or had years of practice."
The event took place at The Potting Shed in Askett. Cakes were judged by a number of people including Mayor of Princes Risborough, Alan Turner, Steve and Corinna Sidhu from the Ten Mile Menu and Paul Davies, ITN News Reporter.
Organisers are going to hold it during the summer next year and would like people to nominate charities to receive fundraising money.

James Franco x Agyness Deyn
Don't worry, it's not what you think!
Ladies, the important thing to know is that there's no need to panic. We haven't become a celebrity gossip magazine, and we're not here to inform you that Oyster's biggest crush has a new ladyfriend rather that he's picked up a camera and taken a few shots of ex-It Girl Agyness Deyn for Elle magazine.
The shoot, entitled 'Chateau Dreams', marks Franco's first foray into the world of fashion photography. Don't waste your time breathily posing the question, "Is there anything that man can't do?" because, if the perfectly composed images of Deyn, Natalia Bonifacci and Imogen Poots are anything to go by, the answer is clearly a resounding no.
Franco's fashion editorial is yet another extension of the actor/artist's fascination with Hollywood heart-throb James Dean, an obsession that began when he took the illustrious role of the screen legend in the 2001 biopic. 'Chateau Dreams' is a taster of Franco's Rebel exhibition at the Venice Biennale, a mixed-media showcase that looks at the significant influence of Dean's Rebel Without a Cause on American culture.

Don't Let a Through-Hull
Become a Sink Hole
Part 2: Seacocks, Initial Inspection, Annual Haul-Out
By Capt. Ken Kreisler — April 2003
All seacocks are valves, but not all valves are seacocks. As defined by the American Boat and Yacht Council, a seacock is "a type of valve...operated by a lever-type handle...[that moves] through a 90-degree arc, giving a clear indication of whether it is open or shut." The rationale is twofold. The orientation of a lever-type handle tells at a glance whether the seacock is open or closed, so you can easily make sure that raw-water inlets are open before firing up a system. More important, if a hose or manifold breaks and you find the bilge awash, seacocks can be closed with just a flick of the wrist.
Inspection—Complete Survey of all Penetrations
When purchasing a new or used boat, check that all through-hull fittings are well-secured, with a backing plate inside the hull to reinforce the connection. Check that a seacock is installed on each fitting that penetrates the hull below its maximum waterline. There should be seacocks on all penetrations that could become immersed in any condition of loading, heel, and trim, not just those below the boot top. We know of a guy whose 42-foot boat sank at the dock when an unexpected storm dumped a foot of snow on his deck, trimming the hull and putting an unprotected opening below the waterline.
And make sure that each seacock is really a seacock. If you find a multiturn valve on a through-hull connection, replace it with a proper seacock, attached directly to the through-hull fitting. If a pipe or hose is installed between the through-hull and the seacock, it creates a failure point that the seacock can't guard against.
Annual Haul-Out Inspection
Crawl through the bilge, inspecting each through-hull fitting and seacock. Be on the lookout for discolorations. Green or white powdery residue on metal fittings could indicate galvanic action or corrosion, so check for proper bonding and galvanic protection. Stains in the area surrounding a penetration could indicate a possible leak.

Islamic gangs spark violenceMichael Bachelard
Published: March 1 2013 - 3:00AM
INDONESIA has experienced a ''sharp uptick'' in religiously motivated violence, with Islamic gangs regularly attacking Christian churches and ''deviant sects'' of their own faith, a new report has warned.
The report by Human Rights Watch warns that the Indonesian government, police and military are ''passively, and sometimes actively'' condoning the new extremists, in contrast to the way they ''wrestled to the ground'' the terrorists of Jemaah Islamiah in the past decade.
The organisation accuses Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of responding ''weakly'' to the threat, with ''lofty but empty rhetoric''. ''With JI they saw a clear and present danger,'' said Human Rights Watch's deputy Asia director, Phelim Kine.
''Now, the government is failing to recognise this less spectacular but equally corrosive and dangerous strain of religious intolerance.''
Mr Kine said there were ''worrying echoes'' of Pakistan's state of siege against minority Islamic sects, and if intolerance and violence continued to increase in Indonesia ''the confidence of investors in the country … might not hold''.
The report, In Religion's Name, says there were 264 violent attacks on religious minorities in 2012, a 20 per cent increase on 2010. It documents violence against the Ahmadiyya, a minority sect of Islam that Indonesia's Religious Affairs Ministry has declared ''heretical'', and Shiite Muslims, as well as atheists and moderate Muslims. Since 2005, more than 430 churches have been forced to close.
But Wahyu, a spokesman for Indonesia's Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali, denied the thrust of the report, saying Indonesia was ''the example, or the laboratory of religious harmony''.
''It has the best religious harmony in the world. We can judge that because … we make all big days of the recognised religions in Indonesia holidays,'' Wahyu said.
Many acts of violence were committed by a number of hardline groups such as the aggressive Islamic Defenders Front, which emerged from the Sunni Muslim majority after the fall of former president Suharto in 1998, the report says.

For its 2005 launch, Lexus maintained high aspirations for the IS 350, positioning it as a BMW 3-series killer. But in the intervening years, the IS 350 hasn't taken a huge bite out of BMW's sales and reputation. Instead, it solidified its place as a comfortable luxury car with some sport attributes.
And with the 2011 Lexus IS 350 update, we're not seeing another attempt at the crown. Lexus settled for maintaining its ground, fitting the new IS 350 with updated cabin tech, including its new telematics service, and adding the now de rigueur LED parking light strips to the headlight casings.
And to hold its position against upstarts such as the Acura TL SH-AWD, Lexus added the option of all-wheel drive. But as yet there is still no manual transmission available, one element keeping the IS 350 from true sport car status.
Dual-injector system
A high point of the IS 350 remains its engine, a 3.5-liter V-6 using an innovative fuel delivery system combining direct injection and port injection. Lexus developed this system to get the efficiency advantages of direct injection, and at slower speeds preserve the luxury character of the vehicle with the lesser noise of port injectors.
The result is an engine that outputs 306 horsepower at 6,400rpm, and 277 pound-feet of torque at 4,800rpm, power figures similar to what competitors get with a 3.7-liter V-6. With its new all-wheel-drive system, the IS 350 earns EPA fuel economy of 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. Even with our heavy-footed driving style, we turned in 18.5 mpg at the end of our time with the car.
With this engine, the IS 350 produces satisfying acceleration and a pleasing exhaust note to go with it. The car gave us confidence to pass others on two-lane highways and our choice of merging spots when entering a freeway. It's reasonably quiet when idling, but Lexus probably could have used sound-deadening materials rather than the extra port injection system to achieve this result.
One thing that keeps the IS 350 from being a real BMW 3-series competitor in the eyes of enthusiasts is the lack of a manual transmission. Instead, drivers have to settle for a six-speed automatic. Granted, this transmission offers a Sport mode and manual gear selection, but there's no getting around the inferior performance of its torque converter.
As we roared over some favorite roads in the hills, the transmission's Sport mode kept the engine speed up around 4,000rpm, putting a good amount of the car's power to the ground. But Sport mode is not particularly aggressive, refusing to downshift as we hit the brakes before going into a corner. And it showed typical torque converter sluggishness when responding to heavy accelerator input, with a little lag between gear changes.
Likewise, manual shifting wasn't as snappy as we would have liked. The car's shift paddles are attached to the steering wheel, with upshifts on the right and downshifts on the left. These paddles have a good, solid feel. The console shifter can also be used to select gears. But with the gear change lag, we tended to leave the transmission in Sport mode.
The suspension isn't particularly high-tech, but it strikes a very satisfying balance between offering a comfortable ride when cruising, and maintaining stability while cornering. We found the ride quality very pleasing when traversing rough pavement, serving up some Lexus luxury.
The new all-wheel-drive system, which comes from the IS 250, should help handling a little. It defaults to a bias of 70 percent torque to the rear wheels and 30 percent to the front, but will shift torque to a 50/50 split as needed. Lacking torque vectoring, we didn't find it offered as noticeable a difference as Acura's, Audi's, or Mitsubishi's all-wheel-drive systems. We expect the Lexus all-wheel-drive system will make a bigger difference on muddy or snowy roads.
An electric motor provides a power-steering boost, and Lexus did a tremendous job of tuning it for road feel and precise turn-in. But the steering and suspension are not quite up to hard-core driving. When really pressed, the car shows some sloppiness, the front end getting a little aimless with the power on in a turn.
