I have successfully compiled postgresql on UnixWare 7.x with the UDK. In the past I have successfully compiled on UnixWare 2.x with the delevopment kit that came with 2.x. BTW: PostgreSQL will compile out of the box with UnixWare 7.x and the UDK. I nolonger have an active UnixWare 2.x system to test on, so I can't say if it still works. -- ____ | Billy G.

Yo MountainScents- surely you have also climbed this?
Nice F.A.!

i know that line well... mikey and i climbed a good bit together at the gunks, where one of his favorite tricks--especially if we were climbing on my rack, which was most of the time--was to place a pink tri-cam in some exposed, tenuous position--probably in some roof, perhaps, on modern times--and to clip into it, bounce on it a bunch of times, then continue to the belay. this type of shenanigans was always met with much consternation; another one of his trademark crag-antics was to start hand-rolling a cigarette while belaying, especially if the leader was failing to "commit to the whip!" indeed, the hallowed stone of the gunks was the site of many mis-adventures with him, many no-headlamp "crab-walks" down the talus to the carriage road, and even a morning when, after a wicked night at bacchus, i ran over the iron bridge from camp slime to the nearest port-a-potty, only to have mikey go through my pack, take out my rope and proceed to wrap the stall with the full 60m, trapping me inside for nearly an hour as i could hear the passing hikers laugh out loud at my predicament. good times. i hope all's well there in good ol' ulster county; be sure to crack open a full-strength cold one for us down by the swimming hole at split rock after a great day in the trapps! s

|I am pretty confident that the 25 feet at the start of the third pitch are easy 5.11, but definitely 5.11. A fall on the initial boulder problem could potentially be a ledge fall. After you get to the obvious flake (after the boulder problem), pulling the bulge above the flake is kind of on you, as well. Good climbing, need to go back and get it clean!

|Was really impressed with this line, kudos to the FA party. Felt pleased to get through the third pitch clean. One thing I would add is that the lower pitches are quality. In particular, I thought that the first pitch was pretty full on and technical, especially with the early season launch off of the bergschrund straight to the rock. Thanks for the (newish) LPC line.

|What a great route! I just wanted to add that this route would be considered fairly bold by most peoples standards, so make sure your solid at the grade and comfortable with running it out. Micro cams are also very useful, especially on the first pitch, think 00 & 000 C3's and DMM Peanuts.

Good morning! Dave and I are on our way to the airport! We will be home, cuddling the kitties, by late Christmas afternoon. Can't wait to see this ornery cuss:
And the matriarch and the middle child:
Dave and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve celebration with his mother, Diana, and three family friends: Connie, Jean and Debbie.
I whipped up a few easy vegan dishes that I wanted to share with you. There's a good chance you have most of these ingredients on hand–or the perfect substitute– so if you're still trying to think of what to make, consider these quick dishes. NOTE: I don't use a lot of measurements here. You know I'm a fan of intuitive cooking. Taste while you're creating and make these dishes your own!
Nutty Quinoa and Cherry Salad
Ingredients (Serves 8 – 10)
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups water
- Pinch of salt
- Dried cherries, rehydrated, rinsed and drained (I used 1 cup)
- Pecans, chopped (I used half a cup)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Lemon juice
- Sea salt to taste
Cook quinoa (quinoa, water and pinch of salt) using your preferred method (pressure cooker, rice cooker or stove top).
Let cool and refrigerate for at least two hours.
Rehydrate cherries by soaking in water for 30 minutes. Rinse and drain.
Chop pecans.
Mix the cold quinoa with olive oil and lemon juice (I used 1 and a half lemons). Toss with rehydrated cherries and chopped pecans and add salt to desired taste.
Serve and enjoy.
Garlic Almond Kale
Ingredients (Serves 6 – 8 )
- 3 bunches of kale, washed, dried (salad spinner or pat with a paper towel) and torn into bite size pieces
- Olive oil
- 3 (or 4!) cloves of garlic, minced
- Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or sea salt)
- Slivered almonds
Heat olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add garlic and quickly saute for a few minutes.
Add the kale and a bit of Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or sea salt) to taste. Stir and cover.
Reduce the heat to low, keeping the skillet covered. Keep an eye on the kale — it will wilt down perfectly in just a few minutes.
Remove the cover and stir in almond slivers.
Serve and enjoy.
Chili-Ginger Chickpeas
Ingredients (Serves 6 – 8 )
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Scallions (save some for garnish)
- Red peppers, diced (save some for garnish)
- Ground chili powder
- Ground ginger powder
- 2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- Fresh rosemary, dried in oven (optional)
- Sea salt, to taste
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Saute the scallions, garlic, red pepper for a few minutes.
Add chili powder (about 1 tablespoon), ginger (about 1 teaspoon) and sea salt to taste and saute for a few more minutes.
Reduce heat to low, add rosemary if you're using it*, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Garnish with scallions and red peppers.
Serve and enjoy.
*For the rosemary
My mother-in-law has a rosemary bush in her yard, She cut a few sprigs for me, which I washed and tossed into the over (200F degrees) to dry for about 30 minutes. I added the dried rosemary to the dish, which was lovely.
Connie was up for the challenge of bringing a vegan dish. She rocked it!
Connie's Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes & Apples
- 4-5 sweet potatoes (sliced or cubed)
- 2 granny smith apples (sliced or cubed)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 tablespoon nutmeg
- salt and pepper to taste
- Place sliced or cubed sweet potatoes and apples in crock pot
- Mix syrup, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper on pour on top of potatoes and apples
- Cook for 5 hours on high heat setting.
It was an amazing meal.
There were only three non-vegan items on the table. A ham (boo) and two non-vegan desserts. I opted for two raw, vegan cookies and So Delicious Coconut Milk Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
Spirulina/Gojiberry Thumbprint Cookie + Vanilla Cookie/Cacao Cream –um, the cookies were okay.
It was a truly delicious meal and I was so grateful that everyone was up for a mostly vegan holiday meal! In fact, they all said they loved the vegan dishes and that they also loved that the dishes were accessible and flavorful. Food is activism!
Enjoy your day — back here tomorrow with vegan news you can use!

Guns for Roses
Sat, 24 Jan 2009 02:50:04 GMT —
Guns and roses - the two don't typically go together unless you're a fan of the popular rock group, but on Valentine's Day, one can get you the other.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said in a press conference on Friday, "If you got an unwanted or unneeded gun, now's the time to turn it in and get something for it."
"Guns for roses" will take place at Friendship Baptist Church, allowing you to turn in your firearms in exchange for a rose and a Best Buy gift card.
Columbia Police Chief Tandy Carter says, " If we remove one gun on the 14th of February or a thousand guns on the 14th of February, there will be one less gun or a thousand fewer guns on our streets."
Police hope that leads to something more important...
Sheriff Lott says, " Bring that gun in, get that gift card, get that rose, but also know that you may be saving someone's life."
They'll use a day of love to promote love of life.

The death of "Dear Abby" columnist Pauline Friedman Phillips (a.k.a., Abigail Van Buren) at age 94 after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease is sad news. Famous for not shying away from controversy and dispensing advice on life topics such as cheating hubbies and rude neighbors in sassy one-liners, she was a mainstay in the morning news, syndicated in hundreds of newspapers around the world since 1956. Here are eight things that tickled us about Pauline.
She was competitive: Although she and her twin sister Esther (Eppie) were close growing up—they dressed alike and both wrote gossip columns for their high school and college newspapers—when Pauline discovered Eppie got a gig writing a column called "Ask Ann Landers", Pauline arranged a secret interview with an editor at the San Francisco Chronicle and scored her own advice column, subsequently triggering a eight year-long rift between her and Eppie.
She had a bit of an ego: She started her career as an advice columnist because she says, people were innately drawn to her. "I was cocky," she said in 1998. "My contemporaries would come to me for advice. I got that from my mother: the ability to listen and to help other people with their problems. I also got Daddy's sense of humor."
But she was willing to admit when she was wrong: Although Pauline was reluctant to suggest divorce for readers experiencing martial strife (unlike Eppie who was known for her modern views on marriage), she wasn't stuck in her ways. "I always thought that marriage should be forever," she once said. "I found out through my readers that sometimes the best thing they can do is part. If a man or woman is a constant cheater, the situation can be intolerable. Especially if they have children. When kids see parents fighting, or even sniping at each other, I think it is terribly damaging."
She was a good mom: When her 14-year-old daughter Jeanne asked her for an allowance, Pauline reportedly replied, "What are you going to do for it?" then hired Jeanne to answer letters she received from teenage girls. If Jeanne did a good job, Pauline would include them in her column. If she didn't? Jeanne simply had to re-write them.
She believed in good sex: Although she was born in 1918, an era when women weren't supposed to have much of an opinion about well, anything, her views on sex were progressive. When asked her opinion on Viagra her response was, "It's wonderful. Men who can't perform feel less than manly, and Viagra takes them right off the spot."
She was a feminist: Pauline threw herself into her career, authoring six books and hosting "The Dear Abby Show" on CBS for twelve years, but she didn't dip into any Mommy Wars. "I think it's good to have a woman work if she wants to and doesn't leave her children unattended — if she has a reliable person to care for them. Kids still need someone to watch them until they are mature enough to make responsible decisions," she said.
She was a champion for gay rights: Even though she knew she may not be popular for it, she was outspoken about her support of gay people. In a 1998 interview she said, "Whenever I say a kind word about gays, I hear from people, and some of them are damn mad. People throw Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and other parts of the Bible to me. it doesn't bother me. I've always been compassionate toward gay people." And she passed her tolerance down to her daughter. In 2007 when Jeanne took over "Dear Abby" for her mother, she told the AP, "I believe if two people want to commit to each other, God bless 'em...That is the highest form of commitment, for heaven's sake."
She answered to PoPo: Was a cooler nickname ever coined?

Vatican declares today that ordination of women is among gravest of sins. It is now in the same category as child molestation.
Canon Law was clarified today to say the following:
The Vatican today made the "attempted ordination" of women one of the gravest crimes under church law, putting it in the same category as clerical sex abuse of minors, heresy and schism.
The new rules, which have been sent to bishops around the world, apply equally to Catholic women who agree to a ceremony of ordination and to the bishop who conducts it. Both would be excommunicated. Since the Vatican does not accept that women can become priests, it does not recognise the outcome of any such ceremony.
Appreciate our work?
Rewire is a non-profit independent media publication. Your tax-deductible contribution helps support our research, reporting, and analysis.
In a previous statement, the hierarchy warned pedophile priests that they could expect to spend eternity in hell. So, is the Church really saying that women who seek ordination will be consigned to the torments of hell? Really?
Okay. Apparently, if you ordain a woman, give her the power of transubstantiation, allow her to participate fully in the spiritual life of Catholicism, this now ranks with the molestation of children?
You know, we spend an awful lot of time criticizing Muslims for the way they treat their women. But sometimes, I find myself wondering if "fundamentalist" readings of any religion–Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, or Islam, simply cannot accept that women are full human beings, endowed by their Creator with the rights to a full life.
I'm not a Catholic. I'm not a Muslim, or a Jew, or a Hindu.
But I'm a woman.
I'm a human being.
My two daughters are full human beings.
How dare these old men claim that the ordination of women is the equivalent of raping a child?
Some American Catholics have spoken, out, with this statement by David Gibson, author of a biography on Pope Benedict who quotes
U.S. Catholic editor Bryan Cones as saying, "Quite frankly, it is an outrage to pair the two, a complete injustice to connect the aspirations of some women among the baptized to ordained ministry with what are some of the worst crimes that can be committed against the least of Christ's members."
I don't know what to say to the Catholic members of Open Salon. I do not wish to slam your religion, but I find myself wondering how one can make peace with a religion that equates the accident of being born with a vagina and then trying to become a priest the same level of crime as deliberately hurting a child?
Was not Christ born of a woman?
Were not the first witnesses to his resurrection, women?
Then what, please pray tell, is the problem with women?
Are we still the monsters of the 15th century imagination as written in the Malleus Maleficarum?
All witchcraft comes from carnal lust, which is in women insatiable. See Proverbs xxx: There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, a fourth thing which says not, It is enough; that is, the mouth of the womb. Wherefore for the sake of fulfilling their lusts they consort even with devils. More such reasons could be brought forward, but to the understanding it is sufficiently clear that it is no matter for wonder that there are more women than men found infected with the heresy of witchcraft. And in consequence of this, it is better called the heresy of witches than of wizards, since the name is taken from the more powerful party. And blessed be the Highest Who has so far preserved the male sex from so great a crime: for since He was willing to be born and to suffer for us, therefore He has granted to men the privilege.
Or perhaps we're still operating under the assumptions of St. John Chrysostom?
"It does not profit a man to marry. For what is a woman but an enemy of friendship, an inescapable punishment, a necessary evil, a natural temptation, a domestic danger, delectable mischief, a fault in nature, painted with beautiful colors?"
St. John Chrysostom
Please. Explain to me why you would allow yourself, your daughters, your wife, your sister, your mother–their desire to be priests to be such a threat to a religion that their crime is the equivalent of child molestation?
For the love of God. Please help me understand.
The artist, of course, is Botticelli.

Feeling downtrodden and detached from my partner(68 Posts)
Ive been with my dp for 4 years. My dp doesn't have much joy. He doesn't notice a beautiful flower, sunset, view and smile. When he walks he's got tunnel vision and is in his own world, thinking about what he needs to do.
He is very selfish. Never offers to make dinner. When I walk in the door with huge car seat and ds, 2 big bags he won't get up and help because he's working (sitting at a desk in living room). He is very self absorbed and admits this but nothing changes.
If we have an argument, he will always name call. He called me mug and prick over minor things which really upset me.
When I arrange weekend days out, he's grumpy, never smiles. We went to a festival last weekend with live music and amazing food and children playing. I was making conversation but he'll either 'mm' back or silence.
He'll then moan he wants to go, it's too hot etc etc. my good mood is then gone and I feel depressed.
He's not like this with anyone else, he's so animated with his friends and strangers or about football. When his friends make plans, he'll run there. When I do he'll stall as much as possible or make us late as he obviously doesn't want to go. So I feel like he really doesn't like me much. I have a 7 month old and really don't want him to call me names or copy his dad.
He was abused as a child by his mother so I feel like I should look after him. I feel sorry for the child he was and want to wrap him up. But he really grinds me down, I feel down trodden a lot.
He also has a quick temper. While in labour I asked him to slow down over bumps (obv in a shouty-ish way as I was having awful contractions) he slammed the breaks on and yelled at me and made me cry.
He's good with ds and will play with him, change him, bathe etc but I have to tell him to do everything which is v annoying.
He proposed to me recently and I don't know if I ever want to marry this man, my gut says no, my heart, yes. I do love him deeply but I don't feel like I'm in love with him anymore. I feel very distant, especially after the recent 'mug' thing and festival.
We are going to counselling and having CBT. She sets commitments to do each week and so far they haven't been done.
I don't really know why I posted but wanted to get it out.
Also, as a 'test' I've not initiated any affection this week to see if he will kiss me etc as I'm always the one to stroke, kiss him, hug.
I've had a hand on my leg in a week
Sorry to hear this Dfanjo (nice name). I'm sure someone wiser than me will be here soon, but I'd say don't marry him unless your heart AND your head say yes. Feels like there's a lot that would need to change for that to happen. Is it realistic to believe it actually will change?
Don't marry him. He's not going to change, and you'll never be properly happy. Get out of there and give yourself a chance at real happiness with someone else.
No, don't marry this man. You're not his mother or his carer and you are not responsible for his miserable personality. You're meant to be his partner.... his equal and the person he values & respects most in the world. From the description you provide he seems to be already taking it for granted that, no matter how badly he treats you or how much he ignores you, you will always be there, taking it on the chin. He's bad-tempered, angry, operates double standards, is discouraging you from having friends, verbally abusive, selfish, petty and critical .... I could go on.
He is not interested in counselling or CBT because, as far as he is concerned, you're the one with the problem and he doesn't need to improve. I have no idea how you 'love very deeply' someone as emotionally abusive, disrespectful and soul-destroying as you describe.... he doesn't even seem to like you.
I think the longer you stay in this relationship, the worse it'll get and the lower your self-esteem will drop. If he's this contemptuous of you now, he'll be 10 x worse if you had a ring on your finger. I honestly think you need to get out of this damaging set-up for your own good.
Hi Dfanjo. It sounds like you are in a terribly sad situation. The one thing that jumped out at me is the fact that he was abused by his mother and you feel like you should look after him - but you can't make it all better. It is really good that both of you are seeing a counsellor, but it does sound like you are doing all the work.
It is not your fault what happened with his mother. You can not fix it, take all the pain away etc. By trying, maybe he is seeing you in the mothering role and treats you with such contempt because that's what he feels towards his own mother.
What do you get out of this relationship? Would a trial separation while you both see a counsellor separately help you to decide what you really both want from this relationship?
I don't think I love him deeply in a romantic way cog more in a brotherly, caring way iykwim.
My self esteem is very low anyway as I was verbally and emotionally abused by my stepfather all my childhood.
It really is a case of when we get along, it's great but otherwise it's not. And god help me if I'm having pmt or feeling run down/stressed, he seems to always 'kick me when I'm down' he can't stand me like that and gets assertive with me.
I really don't know what the future holds. We're renting atm. Meant to be buying soon but house will be in my name - I'm very sure I want that incase I want him out - that's not right is it?
Finola I really think he needs individual counselling and he was meant to bit when he had an assessment they suggested couples so I went along with it.
I definitely think he has very low tolerance for women (read: me) asking him to do things or standing up to him because of his mother.
We haven't had a shouty fight in ages, since starting counselling which is good but I think it's because I'm just feeling distant
Just because your stepfather treated you badly, it doesn't mean you don't deserve to be treated with respect by everyone else. You don't even love him in a brotherly caring way, I'm afraid. Your relationship sounds more like a prisoner trying to keep a bad-tempered jailer sweet.
No matter how good the great times are (and I'm guessing they are getting fewer and further apart) the idea that he kicks you when you're down - even knowing you don't mean that literally - makes him a disgusting creature that you should make every effort to get out of your life. BTW that kind of behaviour is not 'assertive', it's 'bullying' or 'abusive' and it's unacceptable.
Please don't buy a house with this man, even if it's in your name. Buy yourself and your DCs a house where you can live together safely, away from the abuse and restore your self-esteem
dont marry him
see an individual counsellor yourself.
he can be a good father to child but separately from you.
"I feel like I should look after him. I feel sorry for the child he was and want to wrap him up" this is the issue really - because he isnt your child. he is suppsosed to be adult partner. you can delve in therapy into why you want to care for this man etc....
but ultimately, best thing to do is move on separate and stop being his mother. who knows he might grow up and be better, as he can be with other people...
God no, he sounds like a vampire.
The way he treat you was awful in labour, I would have given him his marching orders then.
He just always seems to be fucking frowning.
But then why isn't he like that around other people, mostly his friends?
My father is going to buy a house and we will live there as we cannot save for a mortgage so if we were to split I doubt he would be entitled to anything?
I'm only 28 and feel like I'm wasting my younger years always trying to make him happy. I feel so tired and run down as I do everything with ds, all naps and night feeds etc
We have couselling this week and I think I'm definitely bringing this all up. Up until now I've kind of sat back. I'm worried once I open up I won't be able to stop
Also, I really want to have more children soon but I know I will need support with 2 dcs and don't see it coming from him. My family said he really needs to be more hands on but you can't make someone, can you.
Sometimes ill be really struggling and hell be watching me but won't come over and take ds (if he's having a little tantrum) he will just basically sit back and let me deal with everything. But if its something that interests him then he's all involved.
Don't marry him - it sounds to me as though things will get worse - he sounds like the typical 'street angel - house devil' - he is landing all the shit on you.
It's hard to break up and I should know I have been with a man like this for 20 years, everyone outside the house thinks he's wonderful - what I want to know is why men can be a 'knight in shining armour' to his friends and his family and behave like a shit inside the home to people they are supposed to be close to and love.
Anyway, I am off on my own on holiday for the first time ever on Friday and to be honest at the age of 65 feeing v much in two minds about it.
But again - please don't marry him because he will not change and you are wasting your emotional energy on him
He's not going to change.
He behaves this way with you but not his friends, to me that says he chooses to take out his ishoos on you because he knows you'll take it and not on his friends.
Don't marry him, never marry someone when you have alarm bells ringing in your head shouting no!
Move into your dads house alone, make it a fresh start for you and your son. What difference will it make not having him around, apart from getting rid of the black cloud and verbal abuse?
"But then why isn't he like that around other people, mostly his friends?"
Because (and advance apologies for putting it this way) he knows if he pulled any of that abusive crap with other people they'd tell him to straighten his face or fuck off... and not 'oh darling diddums, did you have a rough childhood, let me lie down here so you can walk all over me...'
" if we were to split I doubt he would be entitled to anything?"
Of course you would. Not housing benefit if you've got a house but you'd potentially qualify for Tax Credits, income support, Child Benefit, Council Tax benefit and he'd have to pay maintenance for the children. There's a really good benefits checker at www.turn2us.org.uk. Run your details through it and I bet you'd be surprised at how much help you'd get.
Sorry misread that ... 'he' would also be entitled to various help if he qualifies.
But I do stand up to him cog I'm very assertive and don't mince my words. Hence why I think we clash because I'm not sort of woman who takes shit. It's just tiring now so I've withdrawn so there's no confrontation. He would never back down if we argued, I would have to walk away.
I wish I could move into my dads house with my ds but I needed dp's salary to pay mortgage. I guess I could claim housing benefit if I was a single parent as we would be basically renting it?
He went away for a week recently and I thought I wouldn't be able to cope with ds alone. But we had a great time and I felt much more relaxed and less anxious and I didnt miss him that much
yorkshire totally agree with the 'house devil' reminds me of Maya Angelou's quote :
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers.
People think he's so lovely, he's well spoken, very polite and has excellency manners. My df said he couldn't have hoped for a better SIL when he proposed
He will drag you down with him if you're not careful!
Honestly, if I have learnt one thing about having children it is that timing, spacing, age, gender, money, place to live etc - nothing in this world is more important than doing it with the right person. (Whether that means a heterosexual partner/spouse, homosexual partner, doing it alone from a sperm bank/adopting, choosing to go into it with a co-parent who you're not in a relationship with, it doesn't matter, but do it with the right person.)
You've already realised that he isn't the right person for you to have more children with - don't do it.
Assertiveness doesn't make you immune to emotional abuse.
"I guess I could claim housing benefit if I was a single parent as we would be basically renting it?"
If your father is the registered owner and pays a Buy To Let mortgage on the house then you would be his tenant, yes. But check out the Housing Benefit rules in your area before going down that path because they vary from authority to authority.
I'm sure you are assertive and I was exaggerating earlier to make a point. However, feeling tired, withdrawn and that all you can do is walk away suggest that you have been ground down by a sustained campaign of abuse ... which you are tolerating on the grounds of good intentions relating to his upbringing.
If you like quotes, try this one. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"
"I'm only 28 and feel like I'm wasting my younger years always trying to make him happy."
Average life expectancy for a British woman these days is over 80. Can you imagine another 50+ years of this?
Agree with Yoni -assertiveness does not make you immune to emotional abuse - I am a strong woman but endless abuse in the end gets to you
He yelled at you in labour?
Imagine if he had an abdominal condition, was in severe pain and you were taking him to hospital. How would you treat him?

Andy Rooney Dead At Age Of 92
Andy Rooney has died at 92-years-old. He died Friday night.
He died from complications from a recent a recent surgery.
I did an article about when he was leaving the program and I can't believe that I'm reporting about this now. He did his final essay and sign off for the CBS-TV show '60 Minutes,' just tow weeks ago.
According to the '60 Minutes' website, "Rooney had announced on Oct. 2, 2011 in his 1097th essay for "60 Minutes" that he would no longer appear regularly."
Andy was born in Albany. He had three homes – in Rowayton, Connecticut, New York City and one in Rennselaerville, in Southwest Albany County. Yes – he was one of our neighbors.
Andy was a member of the CBS network for over 60 years, and behind the camera, writing and producing for at least 30 of them. I believe that even though he is no longer with us, this is one television icon that will live on for a long time.

Sticky Bolt Syndrome
Just got back from the range with my Mosin Nagant, I had an amazing time and it's super accurate, 2 MOA at 100 yards compared to my last Mosin that bested at 5 MOA. However, I did encounter a major problem, my bolt jammed EVERYTIME. After 6 rounds it jammed up so bad that I had to set it on the table and use my shoe to bang it open. I know that these guns are known for the "sticky bolt syndrome" but this can't be untreatable. I will say that it was 104 degrees and that dusty outside, and i was firing mil-surp, but if there is any way to at least treat the sticky bolt syndrome Id be very grateful to know about it, cures are even better. Thank you.
Anything specific I should use? I used Hoppes solvent when I cleaned it, then oiled it with Remington Rem oil.
For my part I do the exact same cleaning you just described... my bolts are tough on both rifles but I usually just smack em around a bit...
Alright, then I will continue. Thank you
Sticky bolt is the bane of M-N shooters. Two things- First. strip down the bolt. CLEAN the innards. Damned cosmoline gets into everything.
While you have the bolt out of the gun, CHEAN the chamber and locking lug area. I use a drill, length of cleaning rod, 20 g shotgun brush. Use some Hoppes, spin the brush for about 30 seconds, keeping it moving. Wipe chamber GOOD with clean patch. Use clean patch on tip of little finger, get the locking lug grooves.
Use a 20 g bore mop, and put a dab of JB Boreshine on it. Buff with the drill for about 30 seconds, keeping it moving in and out. Then clean the chamber and bore to remove any JB.
You need to operate bolt briskly, not gently- but the above should cure most of the problem.
Use mineral spirits along with the brush that c3shooter recommended. Some gun solvents have a hard time breaking down the bees wax that is one of the components in the Russian cosmoline.
Otherwise keep smacking the bolt "like a Russian mail order bride" until it loosens up.
From experience I think I can tell you exactly why the bolt is sticking. The problem is most likely caused by the ammo you are using, not the gun. I have the feeling you have been shooting the steel cased surplus ammo that is coated with lacquer. When you shoot a few rounds the chamber heats up and the heat softens up the lacquer coating on the ammo cases. This causes the case to stick in the chamber. The bolt appears to be stuck because the extractor is attached to the case. There is not a lot you can do about this problem when you shoot this type of ammo. After experiencing this with my Mosin Nagant I tried ammo with a brass case and had no issues with sticking. Of course you should always thoroughly clean your rifle after each use, but a dirty chamber is not the cause of this problem.
I pretty much agree with c3. but I like to scrub it with the bronze brush, wipe it out with a patch, and then wet the chamber and let it soak in Hoppe's overnight before proceeding.
follow up the mineral spirits with a cleaning using denatured alcohol. the denatured alcohol instantly disolves lacquer. just be sure you DO NOT get it on the stock as it will instantly strip it the lacquer finish.
between the mineral spirits and alcohol it should fix your issues.

Cow # 961
The other day I joined a small local Gun Club. They leased an acreage from a local farmer. Good natural back stops and close to a country road.
The only drawback was the farmer reserved the right to include the range acres as part of his pasture.
I arrived that afternoon, used my new key at the gate and drove to the bench rests and firing line.
Had the range all to myself, except for about 30 small cows. I popped open the White Elephant (my 74 Ford van) door and jumped out. SPLAT. The odor of cow manure rose up to my nostrils. "Well hell" I must have lost all my farm boy habits, like, look before you step, and when in cow town wear boots or old shoes.
OK I was here to shoot so back to the shooting fun. I carry my gear to the bench rest. Soon the cow herd is alert and watching my movements. One cow starts forward his nose reaching out, searching for a clue as to what this strange creature is. He has a tag in his ear that says #961.
"Hello Number 961," I say. "How are you today?" As I go about my business, setting up my shooting gear, #961 follows me from truck to bench, bench to truck. Friendly little fellow, I continue my conversation with him. Finally his reaction to me has reached the other cows and I have 20 or 30 cows following me from truck to bench. "Man it is getting crowded in here. HEY #961, Don't you have some grass to eat or something?"
No answer.
I put the targets up on the backboard. Then wade through cows and their messes to the firing line. My shoes are ruined, I bet no one will let me into their fast food store and I will starve. "Come on cows, move out of my way!" Haven't you ever seen a target shooter before?" A quick look behind me reveals two cows nibbling at my targets. "RIP!" They tear them down.
"Ahhhhh, for crying out loud, you dumb pile of steaks. If you want to help wait till I finish shooting and then fetch the target." Put up more targets. Shoo cows away. Run to firing line. Grab 45 Colt Auto. Area between me and target is full of cows again. "GET AWAY FROM MY TARGETS! YOU STUPID COWS!" Finally they answer me. Moo Moo Moo Moo Moo etc up to 30 Moo's. I have no idea what they are talking about. And I have lost my patience with these smelly beasts. I slap a fully loaded magazine into the 45 and raise it over my head and shout. "THIS IS IT COWS, AT THE COUNT OF THREE I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU SORRY!" This is ridicules, here I am, a rational human being talking to a bunch of dumb cows. Aiming at the hill behind the targets, I let loose a full clip or 230 gr. hard ball. BANG BANG RAT A TAT TAT, BOOM BOOM. Man! there are cows going every where. Jumping benches, going through target frames and bearing down on me!!! STAMPEDE!!! I run for the truck, leap into the side door, and when my cow manure covered shoe hits the rubber mat "SLIPP" "THUD!" I am now sitting in it. "I HATE COWS, I HATE COWS, I HATE COWS!!" I am going to buy a big Mac and shoot it.!!!
So much for my shooting session.
The end.
Sarge the weary warrior
did you ever get the drivers seat of the truck clean?:D
Would make a great T-shirt "COW #961"!!
What We Have Here...
... is a failure to camoonicate.
camoonicate Oh for crying out loud, You are cracking me up. I have never got a pun from a cow. LOL LOL LOL LOL
Life Story
Sir; another visual fun story:)
Would this qualify as a SHTF situation?? :D
That is hilarious!
Thanks for sharing!
Sarge 0
At least how I scored it. thanks for the laugh!
Cow 961
A friend of mine sent me a Burger King wrapper and on the back side was a very prominent 961. He said I was finally redeemed. I laughed till my sides ached.
you sir remind me of my grand father with some of the stories he had. if i am ever in colorado i may just have to look you up(maybe even have to buy a gun from you since you have your ffl)

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has emerged as a potential valuable test for the early detection of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. A number of reports have provided some preliminary evidence that Pulmonary Artery (PA) stiffness may be accurately detected by imaging of the pulmonary artery in order to measure PA stiffness. In addition, cardiac MRI could play provide early and effective treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).

Sporting Kansas City's already depleted back line suffered another massive blow on Sunday when the clubs official website announced that right back Chance Myers is out for the rest of the season.
The website said the 26-year-old "will undergo surgery on Wednesday to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left ankle and will miss the remainder of the 2014 season."
The former University of California, Los Angeles player picked up the injury in the 36th minute of a 2-2 draw against Toronto FC. Because of Kansas City's lack of defenders, Myers was playing as a center back against the Eastern Conference foe.
The right back, who just signed a contract extension before the season started, said "I will work hard to not only come back from this injury, but to come back stronger. I wish my teammates the best of luck during the remainder of the season and will support the team any way I can."
After losing Ike Opara to a season ending ankle injury, Aurelien Collin to a hamstring injury, Matt Besler and Lawrence Olum to international duty, Peter Vermes is disappointed to see lose another defender.
[Five MLS players equipped to play in Europe]
The head coach said, "Obviously, it's a blow to the team because he is an important member of our group. It will be hard to replace his qualities and experience, but we will do the best we can during his absence and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch."
[Losing Oriol Rosell could be detrimental]
However, Vermes praised his fallen right back and believes Myers will work hard in order to return as soon as possible.
"He has worked very hard and always takes care of himself to make sure he is prepared to play," Vermes said. "Getting a serious injury is never an easy thing to cope with, but I have full faith that he will work hard to come back and continue to be an important member of our club."
In his seventh year with the team, Myers is regarded as one of the best right backs in Major League Soccer and he's a fan favorite in Kansas City. The No. 1 overall pick from the 2008 SuperDraft has played 123 games for the club, and was a big part of the club's 2013 MLS Cup winning team.
In 26 starts last season, Myers scored two goals and created three goals. This season, he's failed to find the back of the net in 576 minutes, but he's recorded an assist.
With the injury blow to Myers, Vermes might have to start young center back Erik Palmer-Brown against New York Red Bulls on Tuesday. The 17-year-old struggled in his first MLS appearance against Chicago Fire last Sunday.
The American youngster gave away a penalty kick in the first half and received a red card in the second half. Palmer-Brown struggled to keep up with last year's MVP Mike Magee and his partner Quincy Amarikwa.
Despite the center back's lackluster performance, Vermes said, "I thought in a lot of situations he was actually very good, but it was about him getting his debut. We put a lot of pressure on him today to have to come in there and step in, and I thought he did well with the opportunity."

IT has always been about the winning at Rangers.
Success and silverware are in the fabric of the club and failure will not be tolerated or accepted.
For the past two seasons points and medals were all but guaranteed before a ball was kicked, with the opposition in Scotland's bottom two tiers never in danger of causing the Ibrox giants angst beyond any single 90 minutes of action.
The Third Division and League One titles are far from the most prized accolades on the club's illustrious honour roll, but their importance has never been understated by Ally McCoist, the manager who delivered them in the midst of off-field problems the likes of which none of his predecessors ever had to endure.
This season, however, will be different. Triumphs, both on a weekly basis and come the end of the season, can no longer be taken for granted.
In six days McCoist will start his fourth campaign in the Ibrox hot seat and it seems sure to be the most important of a rollercoaster tenure.
The club's record goalscorer has never had his problems to seek since replacing Walter Smith as manager. The actions of a host of characters who made their way up the famous marble staircase placed him in an unenviable position.
He has deserved the dose of sympathy extended to him from the supporters who chant his name, but that will not last long once the action resumes for real.
Too often in recent years the standards expected at Ibrox, both on and off the field, have not been met. For the sake of both the manager and the club, improvements must be made across the board.
As McCoist reflected last week on the Light Blues' tour of North America, he admitted that this summer has been the first time he has felt like a manager, free from the stresses and strains of financial turmoil and boardroom battles.
The picture is still far from perfect at Ibrox, but the 51-year-old boss has been able to get back down to business.
The Petrofac Training Cup clash at home to Hibernian next Tuesday night will be the first hurdle Rangers have to overcome this season.
However, McCoist will know there can be no early slip-ups from a side that has again been bolstered with top-flight talent this summer.
THE aftermath of his team's last fixture in the same competition - a final loss to Raith Rovers in April - led to McCoist's position being questioned like never before by frustrated Rangers fans.
It was the latest addition to a charge sheet that also contains disappointing results against the likes of Stirling Albion, Annan, Forfar and Stranraer in the last two seasons.
The calls for manager to be sacked following that dismal display against Raith were premature and never likely to be followed through by the much-criticised Ibrox board.
McCoist faced the music and stated that it was not the time for him to go, before admitting he will know himself when the writing is on the wall.
It is a scenario that should not unfold this season, though.
With arguably the second-strongest squad in Scottish football at his disposal, there will be no excuses for McCoist as he looks to claim a third title in succession and return the club to what they believe is their rightful place in the country's top division.
The arrivals of strikers Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller in particular have put Rangers in pole position for the league title and dampened some of the flak aimed at McCoist for a signing policy that had failed to impress many fans.
His team's task will be made much harder, of course, by the presence of Edinburgh clubs Hearts and Hibs, two former top-flight foes embarking on their own roads to recovery after seasons to forget.
The presence of play-offs will give at least one of the big three a second shot at promotion, but that is a route the Light Blue legions won't accept as they set their sights on the Championship title.
Despite easing to successive league flags - with 33 wins and only three draws in 36 games last term - McCoist and his players have had criticism ringing in their ears rather than receiving pats on the back from their followers.
The winning was welcomed, but at times the style in which success was achieved left a lot to be desired.
Finishing first will always outrank playing an easy-on-the-eye style of football, but Rangers fans now demand a level of entertainment with their victories. The manner in which they have claimed their last two titles was impressive, on paper at least, but McCoist is likely to come under fire again if performance levels are not deemed to have reached an acceptable level.
He'll also be under pressure to improve on his poor run of results in cup competitions.
There are few men that the Light Blues legions hold in higher esteem as a Ranger than McCoist, but plenty are sceptical that the legendary player has what it takes to be a successful manager in the top flight of Scotland and the European arena. There is no better time than the present for McCoist to prove them wrong.
After three years of turmoil Rangers are likely to complete "The Journey" this term and McCoist will be determined to prove he has not reached the end of the road at Ibrox.
This season will be one of huge significance on and off the field for Rangers. It will be a massive one for McCoist too.

- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 37739.14% to $258.06 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, GLOBAL PARTNERS LP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -8.88%.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that the other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- GLOBAL PARTNERS LP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, GLOBAL PARTNERS LP reported lower earnings of $0.88 versus $1.76 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.53 versus $0.88).

Application Security Assessments
AT&T Consulting application security assessments identify security vulnerabilities by reviewing and probing an application's security controls. This "black box" security testing examines an application's run-time behavior using a variety of techniques customized for each application type. Tests are performed both from the perspective of a trusted user and as an anonymous user (without valid user credentials). AT&T Consulting incorporates standards and best practices from sources such as the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and the Payment Card Industry's Payment Application Best Practices.
Application Security Program Management
Our Application Security Program Management services start with a review of your objectives and current processes. AT&T Consulting then combines elements from our Application Security practice to help you establish a comprehensive approach to application security. This includes metrics, training and management reporting covering all key aspects of the application development lifecycle.
Security Code Review
Application code review service typically starts off with an application security architecture review, AT&T Consulting analyzes the application's source code from the perspective of a developer looking for design flaws, programming flaws and the use of vulnerable functions or programming constructs. Based on the rise in application security risks, code review has now become a best practice as well as a step of due diligence.

A logical choice for bank account opening for a Belize IBC is in a bank, located in Belize.
Belize has a range of offshore banks that specifically cater to the non-resident customers and offshore IBC`s. The most suitable for offshore account openings are the Atlantic Bank and the Provident Bank & Trust Company. Both provide internet banking facilities, credit cards and modern international banking services.
Here are a few guidelines in regards opening an account for the offshore company.
In order to open the account for an offshore company, all reputable banks will ask for a very detailed personal and business information from the owners and controllers of the offshore bank account.
In particular, the bank will need to identify the actual beneficial owner(s) of the underlying offshore company. All such individuals, as well as everyone who will be granted account signatory rights, will have to be properly identified and will have to provide a number of documents - such as a certified passport copy, a bankers reference, a detailed business description and a cashflow forecast. (These documentary requirements may vary from bank to bank.)
While account introduction through an approved intermediary (like Fidelity Overseas) is still often possible without the owner of the IBC personally appearing in the bank, nevertheless the banks will require to know their new client in very substantial detail. This is simply required by the banking industry regulations, which are mandatory.
At the same time banking secrecy remains a foundation for all offshore finance centres, which certainly includes Belize. While the bank will indeed request and hold detailed information about its client, this information will remain strongly protected by the banking secrecy laws. Severe financial and criminal penalties await anyone, who divulges such information. The confidential information on a banks` client may only be divulged under a proper criminal investigation, carried out in Belize by a local authority (not by any foreign representative or international body). Release of banking information to any foreign party or government is not possible, unless ordered by a Belizean court.
For many clients it may seem more convenient to open the offshore bank account in a country situated closer to where they live, or where the IBC has its customers. Many owners of offshore companies tend to operate the companies directly by themselves. Such owners might choose to open the offshore accounts independently, in a location and with bankers whom they may already be familiar with. However, such independent solution may also adversely impact the owners` personal tax circumstances and put him under additional risk of enquiry. (See our Company Management section for a more detailed explanation of those risks.)
Quite often offshore companies hold their bank accounts in another offshore financial centre or in a country that is know as a "financial centre". Examples of widely recognized offshore financial centres are Switzerland, Austria, Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, Isle of Man and, recently, some countries of Eastern and Central Europe.
The standard set of IBC documentation (if properly certified by the notary and legalised by Apostille) will usually satisfy all formal requirements of most banks as far as the internal structure of the IBC itself is concerned. However, as indicated above, in order to open a bank account for an offshore company, the most important aspect is that of the actual owners and controllers of the company, their business and financial profile.
Please note that the bank account introduction fee, as quoted in our fee schedule, is not a fee payable for a guaranteed bank account opening. Payment of this fee does not promise the actual opening of the offshore account. As the name suggests, the account introduction fee is payable for a professional service rendered by us during the introduction of a client to the bank. In particular, this service includes the provision of the bank account application forms and the assistance with their completion. The bank account introduction also includes the support and advice during the compilation of the client due diligence information for the bank. However, we can not guarantee the success of the offshore account opening as such. The success of the bank account opening for an offshore company mostly depends on the particulars of the client himself and his business. Offshore banks routinely reject new clients based on their subjective considerations and their client acceptance guidelines. While we apply all possible effort to determine in advance whether a particular client might be acceptable to a bank, this does not in any way guarantee the success of the account opening.
Please feel free to contact us with a more detailed information on Your banking requirements and we just might be able to suggest You a suitable offshore bank, or provide a bank account introduction.

(VANCOUVER) — Just over a year ago, a fishing boat was going about its business near Hokkaido, Japan, when an unimaginable disaster struck — a giant earthquake followed by a horrific tsunami.
This past weekend, that same boat, now nicknamed a "ghost ship," was spotted about 160 miles off the coast of Vancouver.
The 150-foot freighter is the largest piece of debris to have reached the West Coast of North America since the tsunami that devastated a good portion of northeastern Japan.
No one is believed to be on board the fishing boat. The Japanese government listed its owner as missing.
Canadian authorities don't consider the ship an environmental hazard although it could soon be washed ashore by a major storm.
The boat has also caught the attention of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, which anticipated that much of the millions of tons of tsunami debris wouldn't arrive in the U.S. until before next year.

AN ABERGAVENNY residential home was transformed into an Olympic village for the day.
Centenarian Violet Lewis, 103, was among 26 residents at Penpergwm House in Abergavenny to compete in events from basketball to badminton and fast walking.
Torchbearer Malcolm Green, of Cwm, near Ebbw Vale, carried his torch to lead the relay through the grounds to the 'Olympic Park' ahead of the opening ceremony.
Resident Ann Lees, 87, who was one of the first two people in the country to set up a branch of Riding for The Disabled, said she was thrilled to be presented with two silver medals presented by Mr Green in badminton and the six-metre fast walking course.
Mrs Lees said she has been watching the Paralympics with pride, having taught Paralympic GB equestrian team member, Lee Pearson to ride as a youngster.
Mrs Lewis was narrowly beaten to a medal in the fast walking course but declared it "was the best time ever".
Following the medal ceremony, residents enjoyed an Olympic-themed tea and held several stained-glass hoops they made during recent art workshops that depict activities held at the home. The hoops featured on a float at the recent Llanthony Show and won third prize.
Vicky Wilson, activities development officer for the home and cultural Olympiad artist, said: "Having been involved with the 2012 Cultural Olympiad, I wanted to continue the legacy to reignite and inspire residents to take part in the sports they hadn't played for years."

A drunken husband who had threatened to kill his wife and shoot himself followed through on the warning early Friday before officers arrived in response to a 911 call.
According to Medina County Sheriff Neil Hassinger, William O. Tippens, 40, of 8981 Willow Road, Burbank, shot and killed his wife, Jeanette R. Tippens, 36.
Hassinger said the incident began at 1:10 a.m. when a 911 emergency operator received a call from Jeanette Tippens who was at the couple's home, located in extreme southern Medina County just west of the outlet shopping center between Lodi and Burbank.
"Her husband was intoxicated and she had become afraid of him," Hassinger said. Jeanette Tippens told the 911 operator that her husband had access to numerous weapons and was threatening to kill her and himself, the sheriff said.
"My God, my God," she whispered during the 911 call, possibly to keep her husband from hearing.
"We heard the shot over the phone, then there was nobody on the line," said Hassinger.
Jeanette Tippens apparently ran from the residence onto Willow Road, where her husband shot at her again, this time killing her.
After finding Jeanette Tippens' body, and not knowing where William Tippens was, a manhunt was organized with officers from the Medina and Wayne sheriff's departments, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Lodi, Creston, Burbank, Montville Township and Lafayette police departments participating. A K-9 unit was also used.
William Tippens' body was found in high weeds in a field about 100 yards from the house. He had shot and killed himself, the sheriff said. Officers located the body by using a heat sensor scope commonly used by fire departments to find people in smoke-filled burning buildings.
According to Hassinger, the Tippens had been married for six years, and William Tippens had been arrested in June 1996 for domestic violence.
The couple's 5-year-old daughter slept through the gunfire and was found unharmed in the house.


text: After I received my latest order from TVC-Mall, I realized that by mistake I got S4 mini case, so I figured to write a short review about it anyway since it looks so damn cool!!! The one I received is: For Samsung Galaxy S4 mini i9190 Mercury Goospery Fancy Diary Wallet Leather Stand Case - Green / Dark Blue - Samsung Leather Cases This is another example when you have very low expectations when something cost only $3.60, and once you take it out of the box it makes you scratch your head of how far they pushed the envelope this time. The case comes in a very cool transparent package, but it's not just cheap looks when you take it out of the box. This is diary/wallet style case with a magnetic latch. It comes in bi-color design with bright lime/green inside and blue denim-looking exterior with green stitching. I don't even have a phone to test it out, so I tried taking a lot of detailed pictures for you to get an up close view. The inner case is soft TPU, and looks like it has a nice wrap around fitment for a full side/corner protection and even a lip around the screen. I assume all the cutouts for power/volume/camera/flash/speaker/headphone/mic/charger ports are aligned perfectly. The flip cover has two pockets for credit cards or driver license and another large vertical pocket for bills. There is also a cutout to close the cover while talking on the phone leaving a speaker next to your ear open. And I see there is a hole on the side to attach a lanyard. Furthermore, once opened the case folds to form a kickstand, typical for such folio cases. Overall, I was very impressed with a quality and a finish, and for $3.60 - its a steal considering some TPU cases by itself cost more than that. Plus, it comes in variety of different colors. Here are the pictures of the one I got.

Starre Vartan, as featured in April, 2011 Whole Living Magazine
If you follow my Tweets, I kinda gave away the fact that I was going to be the first in a new feature in Whole Living Magazine called "My Stylosophy" in April. The magazine is on newsstands now! (That's the page, above.) It's a jam-packed issue of green goodness, featuring other great greenies like Treehugger's editor, Meaghan O'Neill, fellow Garrison native (and friend) bird rescuer Suzie Gilbert, Source 4 Style founder Summer Rayne Oakes, and many more amazing eco heros!
Thinking ahead (and so I would always remember such a fun day), I took a few shots while we were getting ready for the shoot. It took a couple hours to do hair, makeup, and choose outfits. We shot four ensembles, which were made up of mostly my clothes (since this is a feature about personal style), with a piece or two from the awesome Whole Living eco friendly clothing racks.

Striking New Haven school bus drivers back on job; district buses will run Friday (video)
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, September 13, 2012
NEW HAVEN -- School buses will roll as normal Friday.
A union spokesman and a city spokeswoman said late Thursday that New Haven school bus drivers will report to work Friday and negotiations will continue next week
The city had expected school buses to be running Friday, a day after union drivers walked off the job amid contentious negotiations that failed to lead to a labor agreement with First Student Inc.
As district officials worked to formulate a plan to get an estimated 18,000 students home, drivers - some of them irate - gathered for an emotionally charged rally at First Student's bus yard on Middletown Avenue.
"They were suppose to have negotiation at 10 a.m. with us to work on our contract and they walked out," said Varnel Roman who has been a bus driver for three years. "They want us to do all of this work and deal with the things we deal with on theses buses but don't give us...raises or better benefits."
But as soon as the two side agreed to meet again Thursday evening, drivers went back to work in time for city schools' dismissal time. Drivers are represented by CSEA/SEIU, Local 2001.
"We have no reason to expect there won't be school tomorrow and that school buses won't be rolling tomorrow," Mayor John DeStefano Jr. said Thursday afternoon. "All reports from the union, the company and from on sight observers show that the buses are rolling. The wheels are going round and round."
But the strike may not be over yet. According to the mayor, First Student and the drivers planned to meet at 6 p.m. Thursday. DeStefano could not elaborate on what the meeting would entail because city is not a party in the discussion, though the negotiations do impact the city.
The union, which also represents driver in West Hartford and Shelton, had announced in a statement early Thursday that drivers had voted to strike if no agreement could be reached. Drivers have concerns about student safety, as well as pay and other issues, the union said in a statement.
Further, among some of the other challenges that drivers said they face are: extreme behavioral problems on the bus such as bullying and harassment, students engaging in sexual activity on buses, and a drivers allegedly being spat on by a parent.
"We not getting paid enough for the aggravation we go through and we don't deserve this type of treatment," said Alythya Blue who has been a driver for a year. "If they don't negotiate tonight a fair contract we are not coming back tomorrow."
"We have to be social workers, counselors, and even parents to so many of these kids," said another driver who did not want their name used. "Sometimes we are the closest things to parents these kids have, because of the problems these kids have at home. And not to pay us for what we do and the extra burden we deal with is ridiculously sad."
In New Haven, approximately 18,000 public school students are transported by bus every day over 301 routes by 340 employees, said the mayor. First Student has been the district's transportation provider for 11 years. The drivers' contract expired on June 30.
According to DeStefano, this involved the first negotiating session between the two parties. The city has gotten involved at the end of contract negotiating processes before but it has generally been toward the end of the process to assist with mediation. First Student could not be reached for comment Thursday.
DeStefano said despite the contract ending, there was no way to anticipate the strike.
"Neither the union or the company signaled anything of this kind. It appeared that some elements of today were spontaneous," he said.
When ask what would happen if the strike were to continue Friday morning, the mayor said, "we are not going to presume what they are going to do or not do." He added that the city doesn't expect a prolonged strike.
At 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, the mayor had activated the Emergency Operations Center to help deal with the situation.
"We are expecting everyone to be working tomorrow. We are expecting school to go off normally; however, this occurred without any warning from either the company or the workforce so we deemed it prudent to keep the EOC open throughout the night," he said.
Superintendent of Schools Reginald Mayo said if there were a work stoppage Friday at any level, the city will communicate with parents. He added that parents may have to help out Friday, but the city will try to provide transportation for young people with special needs and students whose parents may have a hard time getting them to school.
"We are not choosing sides in this dispute," said Mayo. "We are concerned about our young people. We are concerned about their safety. We are concerned about them having a safe egress from school and to school. But as of now we are having school tomorrow."
The mayor said that the city would communicate with parents through the phone-based parent communication system to update them Thursday afternoon and evening. Information will also be posted on the website.
"I know there is some anxiety, but trust us, we will be communicating with you throughout the night," said Mayo.
Those with questions can call the EOC at 203-946-8221.
At Edgewood School Thursday, Maribel Treichel, whose sons Camren and Tavian attend the school, asked a school official who was holding a walkie talkie outside the school, "So what's going on? They're bringing the kids home but we don't know about tomorrow, right?"
The school official apologetically held his palms upward with no answer to provide.
Amid the uncertainty and school dismissal approaching, teachers got instructions at about 1 p.m. to call parents to alert them of the strike -- not long before First Student and the drivers' union struck a deal to return to work at least for Thursday.
Confusion only increased when parents of bused children arrived at the school to find buses lining the street.
"I got caught off guard. I got a call while I was in a staff meeting at work," said Tamika McKinnie, whose daughter Chel'sea is in fourth grade.
Without knowing if the buses would run Friday or if the drivers would walk off again, she said she needed to call work to let them know she might be coming into work late. She expressed the most sympathy for the teachers, who had to call parents from each of their 20-something students. "All those phone calls."
For the most part, parents at Edgewood took the ordeal in stride, even if no one could provide a firm answer about tomorrow.
Derrick Sanders, who lives in the Hill, said he had to drop everything and leave work to get his daughter Surayah but then as he's driving to the school he kept passing First Student buses.
Then he arrived at Edgewood and thought, "Wait, the buses are here."
But not all were. School officials told parents that some but not all the routes were covered.
The job action in New Haven was first reported by the New Haven Independent.

You know what that means – time to get off your lazy keyster and enjoy this gorgeous weather for once.
We've scoped out the best hiking trails in Los Angeles, home of the most majestic hiking trails in the country.
If there was ever a day to enjoy these lovely trails it is today, on Take Your Pants For a Walk Day!
Runyon Canyon Park
- Location: 2000 N. Fuller Ave Los Angeles, CA 90046
Also known as the Heart of Hollywood Hike, Runyon Canyon Trail is a 3 mile round trip loop and is one of the most beautiful trails in the Los Angeles area. This is a dog friendly trail, so be sure to bring your pooch so he can socialize with the other dogs enjoying the trail.
The summit is called Clouds Rest, and the view is gorgeous. This is one of the more popular trails in LA, so don't expect a lot of wilderness solitude, though the abundance of people makes for excellent people watching.
Even better trails on the next pages. Even if you're not interested in taking your pants for a walk today, these trails aren't going anywhere so be sure to take advantage of them at some point!
Topanga State Park
- 20829 Entrada Rd Topanga Canyon, CA 90290
Topanga State Park is home to a plethora of hiking trails, and many of the trails can be accessed from Trippet Ranch.
Some of the trails are a bit more unforgiving than others, some seem to be entirely uphill, but trust us, the views are worth it. Also, because there are so many trails, this hike can be more of a wilderness adventure than Runyon.
Topanga State Park also hosts Family Campfires almost nightly, so those of you looking for a nice family activity should investigate.
Want a simple, much less crowded version of Runyon? Then check out the trail on the next page.
Fryman Canyon Trail
- 3431 Fryman Road, Studio City, CA 91604
Fryman Canyon is something of a hidden gem. It is a good alternative to Runyon Canyon Trail because it is quite a bit less crowded and the trail is not the most difficult.
The trail is a short 3 mile loop, and is pet friendly.
Wanna finish your hike with a breathtaking waterfall? Then you're going to want to hike the trail on the next page.
Escondido Canyon Park
- 27200 Winding Way, Malibu CA
The Escondido Canyon Park is home to a lovely 4.2 mile round trip trail that peaks when you reach the waterfall at the end of the trek.
From the start of the trail it's about a one mile hike to the waterfall. The climb is gradual enough for most and drifts in and out of tree cover.
There you have it, four excellent trails that are right in your backyard. Now go Take Your Pants for a Walk!

While BofA has denied that it is "the big bank targeted by WikiLeaks," there is no way to know whether that is true. BofA is also Public Enemy #1 when it comes to the mess in the mortgage market. That situation may take years to solve and its outcome could be devastating for BofA shareholders. If and when banks get to resume dividend hikes, BofA is likely to be one of the last to be able to do so. Investors should consider that upside price target something that will come down through time as the world sits in December 2010. 3) Bank of New York Mellon ( BK) trades about $27.35 and that gives an implied upside of more than 20.0% to the $32.93 consensus price target. The financial services firm is one of America's oldest banks and also happens to be
one of Buffett's newest and smaller holdings at 1,992,759 shares. Its business model shielded it from much of the financial meltdown woes seen at other banks. In fact, it lost less than 30% of its value. It is no wonder that Buffett had a "forever" strategy here and its 1.3% dividend yield should be one of the first to pop when regulators allow it. That $32.93 consensus price target compares to a 52-week range of $23.78 to $32.65. 4) Gannett ( GCI)trades around $13.49, giving an implied upside of roughly 32% to the consensus target of $17.86. This position has been chopped down considerably. The company is the largest newspaper publisher with operations in print, broadcast and digital. Buffett has lowered the stake in the company as the media woes of yesteryear are likely to persist for years. Gannett, though, may feel like a wild card. Despite declining earnings and revenues, Gannett trades at about 6-times forward earnings. The dividend yield here is only about 1.2% and that target price of $17.86 is under the recent highs as the 52-week trading range is $9.63 to $19.69. 5) General Electric ( GE) has more implied upside than most conglomerates to consensus targets. Buffett's 7.77 million share stake is also grossly understated because he did a large preferred financing when the market was in meltdown-mode. At $16.20, GE has an implied upside of 26.5% to the $20.50 price target. GE is still at the beginning stages of a turnaround with a higher dividend yield indicated around 3.0% now and share buybacks coming back on line. GE also has the most room for a scaling down of much of its financial operations, its current media partial divesting of NBC Universal and potential asset sales and spin-offs ahead.

NADPH oxidase is upregulated in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in response to growth factor stimulation, concomitant with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. We investigated the role of ROS production by NADPH oxidase in SMC responses to growth factors and in atherosclerotic lesion formation in ApoE–/– mice. SMCs from wild-type, p47phox–/–, and gp91phox–/– mice differed markedly with respect to growth factor responsiveness and ROS generation. p47phox–/– SMCs had diminished superoxide production and a decreased proliferative response to growth factors compared with wild-type cells, whereas the response of gp91phox–/– SMCs was indistinguishable from that of wild-type SMCs. The relevance of these in vitro observations was tested by measuring atherosclerotic lesion formation in genetically modified (wild-type, p47phox–/–, ApoE–/–, and ApoE–/–/p47phox–/–) mice. ApoE–/–/p47phox–/– mice had less total lesion area than ApoE–/– mice, regardless of whether mice were fed standard chow or a high-fat diet. Together, these studies provide convincing support for the hypothesis that superoxide generation in general, and NADPH oxidase in particular, have a requisite role in atherosclerotic lesion formation, and they provide a rationale for further studies to dissect the contributions of ROS to vascular lesion formation.

text: American alligators occur in Florida, southern Texas, Louisiana and parts of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. The majority of American alligators inhabit Florida and Louisiana. However, the alligator's range appears to have been increasing northward in the last few years. The United States is the only nation on earth where both alligators and crocodiles live together.
