Required packages
Required packages for both the server and the client are minimal. You will only need to install:
# pacman -S nfs-utils rpcbind
Setting up the server
You can now edit your configuration and then start the daemons.
This file defines the various shares on the nfs server and their permissions. A few examples:
/files *(ro,sync) # Read-only access to anyone /files 192.168.0.100(rw,sync) # Read-write access to a client on 192.168.0.100 /files 192.168.1.1/24(rw,sync) # Read-write access to all clients from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255
If you make changes to /etc/exports after starting the daemons, you can make them effective by issuing the following command:
# exportfs -r
If you decide to make your NFS share public and writable, you can use the all_squash option in combination with anonuid and the anongid option. For example, to set the privileges for the user nobody in the group nobody, you can do the following:
; Read-write access to a client on 192.168.0.100, with rw access for the user 99 with gid 99 /files 192.168.0.100(rw,sync,all_squash,anonuid=99,anongid=99))
This also means, that if you want write access to this directory, nobody.nobody must be the owner of the share directory:
# chown -R nobody.nobody /files
Full details on the exports file are provided by the exports man page.
Edit this file to pass appropriate run-time options to nfsd, mountd, statd, and sm-notify. The default Arch NFS init scripts require the --no-notify option for statd, as follows:
Others may be left at the provided defaults, or changed according to your requirements. Please refer to the relevant man pages for full details.
You can now start the server with the following commands:
# rc.d start rpcbind (or: rc.d start portmap) # rc.d start nfs-common (or: rc.d start nfslock) # rc.d start nfs-server (or: rc.d start nfsd)
Please note that they must be started in that order. To start the server at boot time, add these daemons to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf.
Setting up the client
Edit this file to pass appropriate run-time options to statd - the remaining options are for server use only. Do not use the --no-notify option on the client side, unless you are fully aware of the consequences of doing so.
Please refer to the statd man page for full details.
Start the rpcbind and nfs-common daemons:
rc.d start rpcbind (or: rc.d start portmap) rc.d start nfs-common (or: rc.d start nfslock)
Please note that they must be started in that order or start only nfs-common, as rpcbind will be started as a dependency.
To start the daemons at boot time, add them to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf.
Then just mount as normal:
mount server:/files /files
Unlike CIFS shares or rsync, NFS exports must be called by the full path on the server; example, if /home/fred/music is defined in /etc/exports on server ELROND, you must call:
mount ELROND:/home/fred/music /mnt/point
instead of just using:
mount ELROND:music /mnt/point
or you will get mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.1.99:/media/raid5-4tb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - trydmesg
Auto-mount on boot
If you want to mount on boot, make sure network, rpcbind (portmap), nfs-common (nfslock) and netfs are in the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf. Make sure the order is this one. It is better not to put any '@' in front of them (although you could safely use @netfs); for instance:
DAEMONS=(... network rpcbind nfs-common @netfs ...)
DAEMONS=(... network portmap nfslock @netfs ...)
Add an appropriate line in /etc/fstab, for example:
server:/files /files nfs defaults 0 0
If you wish to specify a packet size for read and write packets, specify them in your fstab entry. The values listed below are the defaults if none are specified:
server:/files /files nfs rsize=32768,wsize=32768 0 0
Read the nfs man page for further information, including all available mount options.
Unreliable performance, slow data transfer, and/or high load when using NFS and gigabit
Verify that the async flag is used in Template:Filename Example:
/nfs4exports 192.168.0.0/24(ro,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,async) /nfs4exports/data 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async,nohide) /nfs4exports/backup 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_subtree_check,async,nohide)
This is a result of the default packetsize used by NFS, which causes significant fragmentation on gigabit networks. You can modify this behavior by the rsize and wsize mount parameters. Using rsize=32768,wsize=32768 should suffice. Please note that this problem does not occur on 100Mb networks, due to the lower packet transfer speed.
Default value for NFS4 is 32768. Maximum is 65536. Increase from default in increments of 1024 until maximum transfer rate is achieved.
Portmap daemon fails to start at boot
Make sure you place portmap before netfs in the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf.
Nfsd fails to start with "nfssvc: No such device"
Make sure the nfs and nfsd modules are loaded in the kernel.
Nfsd seems to work, but I cannot connect from MacOS X clients
When trying to connect from a MacOS X client, you will see that everything is ok at logs, but MacOS X refuses to mount your NFS share. You have to add Template:Codeline option to your share and re-run Template:Codeline.
mount.nfs: Operation not permitted
After updating to nfs-utils 1.2.1-2, mounting NFS shares stopped working. Henceforth, nfs-utils uses NFSv4 per default instead of NFSv3. The problem can be solved by using either mount option
'vers=3' or
'nfsvers=3' on the command line:
# mount.nfs <remote target> <directory> -o ...,vers=3,... # mount.nfs <remote target> <directory> -o ...,nfsvers=3,...
or in
<remote target> <directory> nfs ...,vers=3,... 0 0 <remote target> <directory> nfs ...,nfsvers=3,... 0 0
The following two values in /etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf (on the client) need to be set:
NEED_STATD="no" NEED_IDMAPD="yes"

"Lord John and the Plague of Zombies" - excerpt
Copyright 2010 Diana Gabaldon
[This will be published in an anthology titled DOWN THESE STRANGE STREETS, edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois. No, I don't have a pub date for this yet, but am assuming sometime in 2011.]
"Your servant, sah," he said to Grey, bowing respectfully. "The Governor's compliments, and dinner will be served in ten minutes. May I see you to the dining room?"
"You may," Grey said, reaching hastily for his coat. He didn't doubt that he could find the dining-room unassisted, but the chance to watch this young man walk…
"You may," Tom Byrd corrected, entering with his hands full of grooming implements, "once I've put his lordship's hair to rights." He fixed Grey with a minatory eye. "You're not a-going in to dinner like that, me lord, and don't you think it. You sit down there." He pointed sternly to a stool, and Lieutenant-Colonel Grey, commander of His Majesty's forces in Jamaica, meekly obeyed the dictates of his nineteen-year-old valet. He didn't always allow Tom free rein, but in the current circumstance, was just as pleased to have an excuse to sit still in the company of the young black servant.
Tom laid out all his implements neatly on the dressing-table, from a pair of silver hairbrushes to a box of powder and a pair of curling tongs, with the care and attention of a surgeon arraying his knives and saws. Selecting a hairbrush, he leaned closer, peering at Grey's head, then gasped. "Me lord! Tthere's a big huge spider--walking right up your temple!"
Grey smacked his temple by reflex, and the spider in question—a clearly visible brown thing nearly a half-inch long—shot off into the air, striking the looking-glass with an audible tap before dropping to the surface of the dressing-table and racing for its life.
Tom and the black servant uttered identical cries of horror and lunged for the creature, colliding in front of the dressing table and falling over in a thrashing heap. Grey, strangling an almost irresistible urge to laugh, stepped over them and dispatched the fleeing spider neatly with the back of his other hairbrush.
He pulled Tom to his feet and dusted him off, allowing the black servant to scramble up by himself. He brushed off all apologies as well, but asked whether the spider had been a deadly one?
"Oh, yes, sah," the servant assured him fervently. "Should one of those bite you, sah, you would suffer excruciating pain at once. The flesh around the wound would putrefy, you would commence to be fevered within an hour, and in all likelihood, you would not live until dawn."
"Oh, I see," Grey said mildly, his flesh creeping briskly. "Well, then. Perhaps you would not mind looking about the room while Tom is at his work? In case such spiders go about in company?"
Grey sat and let Tom brush and plait his hair, watching the young man as he assiduously searched under the bed and dressing-table, pulled out Grey's trunk, and pulled up the trailing curtains and shook them.
"What is your name?" he asked the young man, noting that Tom's fingers were trembling badly, and hoping to distract him from thoughts of the hostile wildlife with which Jamaica undoubtedly teemed. Tom was fearless in the streets of London, and perfectly willing to face down ferocious dogs or foaming horses. Spiders, though, were quite another matter.
"Rodrigo, sah," said the young man, pausing in his curtain-shaking to bow. "Your servant, sah."
He seemed quite at ease in company, and conversed with them about the town, the weather—he confidently predicted rain in the evening, at about ten o'clock--leading Grey to think that he had likely been employed as a servant in good families for some time. Was the man a slave? he wondered, or a free black?
His admiration for Rodrigo was, he assured himself, the same that he might have for a marvelous piece of sculpture, an elegant painting. And one of his friends did in fact possess a collection of Greek amphorae decorated with scenes that gave him quite the same sort of feeling. He shifted slightly in his seat, crossing his legs. He would be going into dinner soon. He resolved to think of large, hairy spiders, and was making some progress with this subject when something huge and black dropped down the chimney and rushed out of the disused hearth.
All three men shouted and leapt to their feet, stamping madly. This time it was Rodrigo who felled the intruder, crushing it under one sturdy shoe.
"What the devil was that?" Grey asked, bending over to peer at the thing, which was a good three inches long, gleamingly black, and roughly ovoid, with ghastly long, twitching antennae.
"Only a cockroach, sah," Rodrigo assured him, wiping a hand across a sweating ebon brow. "They will not harm you, but they are most disagreeable. If they come into your bed, they feed upon your eyebrows."
Tom uttered a small strangled cry. The cockroach, far from being destroyed, had merely been inconvenienced by Rodrigo's shoe. It now extended thorny legs, heaved itself up and was proceeding about its business, though at a somewhat slower pace. Grey, the hairs prickling on his arms, seized the ash-shovel from among the fireplace implements and scooping up the insect on its blade, jerked open the door and flung the nasty creature as far as he could—which, given his state of mind, was some considerable distance.
Tom was pale as custard when Grey came back in, but picked up his employer's coat with trembling hands. He dropped it, though, and with a mumbled apology, bent to pick it up again, only to utter a strangled shriek, drop it again, and run backwards, slamming so hard against the wall that Grey heard a crack of laths and plaster.
"What the devil?" He bent, reaching gingerly for the fallen coat.
"Don't touch it, me lord!" Tom cried, but Grey had seen what the trouble was; a tiny yellow snake slithered out of the blue-velvet folds, head moving to and fro in slow curiosity.
"Well, hallo, there." He reached out a hand, and as before, the little snake tasted his skin with a flickering tongue, then wove its way up into the palm of his hand. He stood up, cradling it carefully.
Tom and Rodrigo were standing like men turned to stone, staring at him.
"It's quite harmless," he assured them. "At least I think so. It must have fallen into my pocket earlier."
Rodrigo was regaining a little of his nerve. He came forward and looked at the snake, but declined an offer to touch it, putting both hands firmly behind his back.
"That snake likes you, sah," he said, glancing curiously from the snake to Grey's face, as though trying to distinguish a reason for such odd particularity.
"Possibly." The snake had made its way upward and was now wrapped round two of Grey's fingers, squeezing with remarkable strength. "On the other hand, I believe he may be attempting to kill and eat me. Do you know what his natural food might be?"
Rodrigo laughed at that, displaying very beautiful white teeth, and Grey had such a vision of those teeth, those soft mulberry lips, applied to—he coughed, hard, and looked away.
"He would eat anything that did not try to eat him first, sah," Rodrigo assured him. "It was probably the sound of the cockroach that made him come out. He would hunt those."
"What a very admirable sort of snake. Could we find him something to eat, do you think? To encourage him to stay, I mean."
Tom's face suggested strongly that if the snake was staying, he was not. On the other hand….he glanced toward the door, whence the cockroach had made its exit, and shuddered. With great reluctance, he reached into his pocket and extracted a rather squashed bread-roll, containing ham and pickle.
This object being placed on the floor before it, the snake inspected it gingerly, ignored bread and pickle, but twining itself carefully about a chunk of ham, squeezed it fiercely into limp submission, then, opening its jaw to an amazing extent, engulfed its prey, to general cheers. Even Tom clapped his hands, and—if not ecstatic at Grey's suggestion that the snake might be accommodated in the dark space beneath the bed for the sake of preserving Grey's eyebrows, uttered no objections to this plan, either. The snake being ceremoniously installed and left to digest its meal, Grey was about to ask Rodrigo further questions regarding the natural fauna of the island, but was forestalled by the faint sound of a distant gong.
"Dinner!" he exclaimed, reaching for his now snakeless coat.
"Me lord! Your hair's not even powdered!" He refused to wear a wig, to Tom's ongoing dismay, but was obliged in the present instance to submit to powder. This toiletry accomplished in haste, he shrugged into his coat and fled, before Tom could suggest any further refinements to his appearance.

Thank you! I always enjoy Lord John stories. He has an interesting point of view. Would this timeline run with Claire's and Jamie's time in Jamaica?
Dear Lynda--ReplyDelete
No, this is set in 1761.
Spiders, cockroaches, snakes, AND zombies? This is rather pushing the limit for my creepy-crawly tolerance. But for Lord John, I will do my best to weather the storm of bugs, reptiles, and the un-dead. ;)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing, Diana.
Where does this fall in relation to Custom of the Army & The Scottish Prisoner?
Dear adventures--ReplyDelete
Well, let's see...
"The Custom of the Army" (novella) comes before SCOTTISH PRISONER (novel), and "Zombies" (novella) comes after PRISONER.
Which makes it an interesting writing exercise, in that I have to make internal references to events I haven't written about yet. But you know--if it was easy, _everybody_ would do it. [g]
So will reading Zombies cause spoilers for Scottish Prisoner?ReplyDelete
Dear adventure--ReplyDelete
No, I shouldn't think so. The only such internal reference is one to John's feelings for Jamie--not to any plot incidents.

Oh thank you so much! :) I love to read from Lord John!ReplyDelete
Say, do you plan to publish a collection of your short stories at some point?
So far, I resisted buying anthology books just because I want to read one story in it. *g*
But it gets harder with every exerpt you post! ;)
Dear Myra--ReplyDelete
Oh, if you're patient [g], certainly you can get them printed together. I have one volume of Lord John stories--LORD JOHN AND THE HAND OF DEVILS, which includes "Lord John and the Hellfire Club," "Lord John and the Succubus," and "Lord John and the Haunted Soldier"--and in the fullness of time, there'll be another one that includes "The Custom of the Army," "Plague of Zombies," and another one I haven't yet written.
The thing is, though, when you sell a piece to an anthology, you retain the reprint rights, but there's always a clause preventing you from using those rights within two years of the original publication. So we'll have to wait 'til about 2013 before I can publish the second collection of Lord John stories, since I think "Zombies" will be out sometime in 2011.
Hope you'll enjoy them, though!
I loved that! The part with the snake and sandwich was really funny, I laughed out loud.ReplyDelete
I really like Lord John stories. I got familiar with your work last year. I actually read the three Lord John books in my native language first, got addicted, got my hands on the Outlander series and read it faster than I'd ever read anything else. Then Echo came out and I went and bought it in English. Now my goal is to get all your books in English, since the translation is, well, not perfect. How do you translate, for example, Scots to another language!
Thank you for this great experience I've had with your books, and greetings from the other side of the world. :)
This is just marvelous! I love Tom and Lord Grey, and could actually see Tom's distress with the various "critters" (as we call them in Texas). I could even here the slight crunch/pop of the partially annihilated cockroach LOL. Tom becomes more and more real as a person every time you bring him into the story. Thank you for such fully-formed characters.ReplyDelete
But I am confused (since I haven't read any Jamie/Claire in six months or so). Is this a different trip to Jamaica for Lord John set somewhat prior to him being sent over as Governor (which--if I remember correctly, was when he actually seriously interacted with Claire for the first time)?
Guess it is time for another re-read of the Outlander series since I am getting vague on the story lines.
Thank you for posting this tidbit and giving me an excuse to start the tale from the beginning again ;-)
Okay--that's what I get for not previewing my post--I can HEAR the cockroach, not "here" it (and I wrote that to a writer of all things LOL). Mea culpa to all.ReplyDelete
Dear Linda--ReplyDelete
All writers make typos, believe me. [g]
No, this story is set in 1761, and is Lord John's first trip to Jamaica. He's a Lieutenant-Colonel, in charge of troops, charged with putting down a slave rebellion. It'll be several years later (1766/67, I think) when he comes back as Governor and meets Claire and Jamie.

I love Lord John and Tom. So glad you decided to share with us again.ReplyDelete
Oh, fun! If creepy-crawly to the max... :)ReplyDelete
It's always so easy to fall into the engrossing world you create with your writing, Diana. I have two close friends who are gay men and they are ALWAYS on the lookout for attractive (mostly younger) men, much more so than I am as a heterosexual woman. I guess there's something to be said about men being visually stimulated. You capture that dynamic nicely with the Lord John character. I love how he is so dignified yet he adores admiring a nice piece of arse! JenReplyDelete
Oooh I can't wait to read this!!!! I might be looking to deep into it, but the snake reminds me of Willy and the wooden snake he carved for Jamie. I love it :)ReplyDelete
I just got an ad from Ingram for the graphic novel!! Going to order for my store! So excited!!ReplyDelete
Dear Castle--ReplyDelete
You have a bookstore? Or are you a buyer for one?
You must have such fun writing these! I'll bet you chuckle the whole time!ReplyDelete
Why is it, I wonder, that silver-backed hairbrushes always come in pairs? Surely you can only use one at once? Every novel set in the 18th-19th century features them, so it's either true or a literary version of an urban legend.ReplyDelete
Dear Spud--ReplyDelete
No, they really did. Apparently, the technique at the time was to brush your hair with _both_ hands at once. [g]

Eating eyebrows is not an activity I've ever heard attributed to cockroaches. Where did you find that one? I have heard locals don't like yellow boas and will chop them up, pour rum on the pieces, and set them on fire. After coaxing snakes to eat dead mice (most prefer live food)it sounds like John got really lucky to find one that would eat a piece of ham. Hand reared as a pet?ReplyDelete
Oddly enough, I found that bit (cockroaches eating eyebrows) in the Reader's Digest version of a biography of Robert Louis Stevenson's wife (read many, many years ago) in which she noted the giant Samoan cockroaches that fed on her eyebrows when she fell asleep.
My general thought would be that the cockroaches were probably foraging for salt from sweat that accumulates there, rather than actually eating the hairs--but someone waking up with a cockroach on their face probably wouldn't wait to see.
Thank you for explaining the time line.ReplyDelete
You've got me squirming thinking about being eaten in my sleep. Your writing is not for the skittish. smile.
The snake is a phallic symbol?
Dear Lynda--ReplyDelete
["The snake is a phallic symbol?"]
Well, it can be. [g] In terms of African _loa_ religions, though, the snake is usually considered a symbol of wisdom and divination.

Sleeping with cockroaches in Samoa...she had a fun experience. I've seen butterflies sip salt (and probably other minerals) from sweaty people. Guess roaches might do the same thing, but a large tropical species has an ick factor that a dainty lepidopteran doesn't have. Did you ever see the movie "Joe's Apartment"? The main character's best friends were roaches.ReplyDelete

I've just been introduced to Lord John and I LOVE him. I just finished Brotherhood of the Blade and I almost cried for him. Nice to see him doing well in Jamaica. Hope he gets his wish with Rodrigo. (wink)

I am excited beyond words that there are more Lord John Grey novellas on the way! I started reading your Outlander series over the summer (I'm on the Fiery Cross!) and I absolutely fell in love with Lord John Grey. So much so that I took a bit of a detour to read Private Matter and Brotherhood of the Blade! He's so enjoyable to read: it's hard to explain that he's serious, hilarious, awkward and that's what makes me so endeared to him. Now that there are zombies I practically am dancing in my chair -- can't wait!ReplyDelete
I keep hoping with everything new that I read that von Namtzen will make another appearance. He's easily one of my other favorites (right up there with Fergus -- apparently I'm pulling for the side characters these days). I loved their angle so much in Succubus and Brotherhood of the Blade. I cried, not gonna lie.
ALSO! Here's hoping I'll be able to go to your book signing when you come up to San Francisco on the 28th of September.
This got kind of long winded; sorry for gushing! <3

Now remind me, what's that country in the antipodes that has bush fires
I use a waste oil burner I made and have build tutorials on my Channel for. I do a lot of scrap ally from cars, mainly Cylinder heads and Manifolds. A cylinder head takes about 6 Min in an open drum I use for a furnace. The benefit of melting things like this particularly heads is that it takes all the ally away and leaves all the steel bits you don't want. I have found using bricks in the drum not only helps contains the heat but also strains the liquid ally very well of dross and other contaminants such as steel pieces. There are lots of other burner and melting Vids on my channel so have a look around and see what is useful to you.
when I melt ally, I just try and get all non ally parts off and then put the rest into my crucible.I find that once I have poured the ally off the other metal parts can then just be tipped out.
Well. to me, and I assume Glumpy, it's just called, "Home" , OZ, Downunder the home of Vegemite. John B
Wow!You sure do like your ally!Numbers and weighed every bar and looks like over 100 bars. Is there a reason you are stockpiling so much? Do you do metal casting or have some other use for it?
Hello John I see on the News. that Vegemite is to be banned in some areas as it is a dangerous ingredient in some drink.

A petition from the campaign to
As one of America's largest pork producers, you have a responsibility to treat animals humanely at all of your breeding facilities. Earlier this year, however, the Humane Society captured undercover footage from two of your Oklahoma facilities telling quite a different story. The shocking video showed wounded and bleeding pigs crammed into prison-like gestation crates that prevent them from whatsoever.
This is one of the cruelest practices in agribusiness and many of your competitors, including Smithfield Foods (the world's largest pork producer) and Hormel Foods (maker of SPAM and also a leading pork producer), have already promised to make their facilities gestation crate-free by 2017. It's time you follow suit and also commit to phasing out this abhorrent animal abuse in the next five years!
Jessica Dahl
This petition closed over 4 years ago
The Seaboard Corporation is one of U.S' largest producers of pork, processing about 18,500 hogs a day at their facilities before supplying to large chains like Walmart. In January of this year,...
The Seaboard Corporation is one of U.S' largest producers of pork, processing about 18,500 hogs a day at their facilities before supplying to large chains like Walmart. In January of this year, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) conducted an undercover investigation of Seaboard after catching wind of appalling animal cruelty at two of their Oklahoma breeding facilities. The video footage HSUS captured revealed dead pigs and piglets in pens around the facility and sows with large sores, torn skin and ripped ears and snouts left untreated. Watch the shocking video here (please note that the images are graphic).
HSUS also found that Seaboard continues to confine their pigs in gestation crates for most of their lives. Referred to as one of the cruelest practices in all of agribusiness, these tiny crates prevent the animals from even turning around. In many cases the pigs are left amidst feces and urine, nursing bleeding sores and other injuries.
Public outcry against this barbaric practice has led many of the world's largest fast food companies—such as McDonald's, Wendy's, and Chipotle – to eliminate gestation crates from their supply chains. Additionally, some of the top U.S. pork producers have also taken measures to phase out this practice. Smithfield Foods (the world's largest pork producer) and Hormel Foods (the maker of SPAM) have committed to go gestation crate-free by 2017 in all of their company-owned facilities.
Despite this precedent, as well as complaints filed by HSUS with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) following the investigation, the Seaboard Corporation refuses to acknowledge this glaring animal rights issue. They have resisted going gestation crate-free, which would give pigs greater freedom of movement and a more dignified way of life.
Studies consistently show that 95% of Americans want farm animals to be treated humanely. Let's demand that our factory farming industries behave in a way that upholds our values. The Seaboard Corporation can champion this effort by committing to phase out the use of cruel gestation crates at all company-owned breeding facilities by 2017!

I've never used a flap disc but many of you brag on them. It was $4.97. I use soft pads a lot. Will a flap disc last as long as say 5 soft pads considering they cost over $1 each at local hardware stores? If so they will be worth their cost if they do. Comments?

I am just a hobby welder, but I like the flap disks. In fact I may be more of an expert on them than the real welders because I get more practice grinding because of the poorer quality of my welds and fitups. I have some from Northern that I like, but I am about to try Lee Valley because of the comments on this forum. If you buy 10 at 1.79 and add 9.50 shipping, that is 2.74 per disk, a pretty good deal. I think most recomment the 60 or 80 grit zirconia.Miller Challenger 172

We use a lot of flap discs at work for finishing welds or other not so attractive finishes that "appear" on finished parts. They are really quite versatile, although they do remove metal differently (not always right at the centre of the contact, and have a larger contact surface) so you have to pay a little closer attention. In some cases they may actually remove metal faster than a regular grinding disc since they are sort of like a belt sander in nature, but obviously they are not the greatest for cutting out welds and the like.
If I was you I would just go to the LWS and pick up one to see if you like, and if you do look for the best price to order in bulk.Dynasty 200DX, first generationMakita 5" grinder

I have been using http://www.lehighvalleyabrasives.com/servlet/StoreFront
flap disks for several years. I get a 10 pack of 40 to 80 grit.
Flap away...
Monte pick up a couple and check them out. I think you will wonder how you did without them! I am reaching for mine all the time; basically having a dedicated grinder for them.
The 60 grit ones take off material faster than you might expect. The do not leave scratches like a hard disk and they do last pretty long if you are not trying to take down large amounts of material all the time. If you have a 60 and an 80 your in good shape for a start.
On flat surfaces you need to take care because although you will not leave scratches you can make it look wavy.
Another difference is that the edge is not square (and quicly gets more rounded) so you need to get out that hard stone for squaring out an inside corner.
Personally I REALLY like the ones that have the 5/8" threaded arbor built right on. They are a bit more expensive, but I do the same with the hard wheels and you can change wheels in like 10 seconds.
I usually have the 5" with a thin kerf cut off wheel, a die grinder with a stone for hard to reach stuff and a 4 1/2" with the flapper which I switch to a hard stone when I need to take a lot of material down or get in a fillet corner/square. I could set up yet another grinder, but the cords already get to be a pain and then I will need to post with the guy with the armoured cable cord protector
I have noticed a pretty large difference in the quality of all these abrasives. Funny thing is you don't realize your using crappy stuff until you happen on a really good one! Then you're like WOW, these are awesome.

We couldn't operate without flap disks and probably use up a couple dozen a week due to the nature of our work (finish steel contractor/gates, hand rails, lighting etc.) We all switched to Hilti tools several years back and also started using their consumables and fasteners. Although Hilti has a hefty price tag, their quality is far superior to anything out there and I would say the same about their flap disks.

Hi Tacmig...
Just a heads up. I have almost as many, actually more red hilti boxes in my shop than blue and I love them. But the other day I tried a couple Hiliti thin kerf cut off disks (5") and I was pretty disappointed how quickly they burnt down. Never tried the Hilti Flappers.John

The norton gemini stuff is ok. the NorZon stuff is the shizzz, but crazy expensive. The nice thing about abrasives that last is you concentrate on working rather than changing out. Plus you tend to try to get a bit more out of the blade or disk and probably wait longer than you should to swap...
So if one is 3 times more expensive but lasts at least 3 times longer it gets my vote...John

you definitely want to give them a try. the lehigh valley are a great deal. they also have the ones with the thread built into the disk now if you want that kind. its $2.35 per disk for them.http://www.lehighvalleyabrasives.com...ble/Categories
may not be up to the walter standard but the walters are about $9.5 per disk. for the $ its hard to beat the Valley guys, good quality and a decent price.
once you start using them you will never stop, great for all kinds of stuff from prep to finish.thanks for the help
hope i helped

I have used www.lehighvalleyabrasives.com for a couple of years and think their products are better than the stuff I find at HD plus much less expensive when you factor in large (annual) purchases, no sales tax and reasonable shipping (on large buys).

Sierra Leone
Facts & Figures
President: Ernest Koroma (2007)
Land area: 27,653 sq mi (71,621 sq km); total area: 27,699 sq mi (71,740 sq km)
Population (2014 est.): 5,743,725 (growth rate: 2.33%); birth rate: 37.4/1000; infant mortality rate: 73.29/1000; life expectancy: 57.39; density per sq mi: 205.6
Capital and largest city (2011 est.): Freetown, 941,000
Monetary unit: Leone

- Ebola Outbreak Kills Hundreds
Sierra Leone, on the Atlantic Ocean in West Africa, is half the size of Illinois. Guinea, in the north and east, and Liberia, in the south, are its neighbors. Mangrove swamps lie along the coast, with wooded hills and a plateau in the interior. The eastern region is mountainous.
Constitutional democracy.
The Bulom people were thought to have been the earliest inhabitants of Sierra Leone, followed by the Mende and Temne peoples in the 15th century and thereafter the Fulani. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to explore the land and gave Sierra Leone its name, which means "lion mountains." Freetown, on the coast, was ceded to English settlers in 1787 as a home for blacks discharged from the British armed forces and also for runaway slaves who had found asylum in London. In 1808 the coastal area became a British colony, and in 1896 a British protectorate was proclaimed over the hinterland.
Sierra Leone became an independent nation on April 27, 1961. A military coup overthrew the civilian government in 1967, which was in turn replaced by civilian rule a year later. The country declared itself a republic on April 19, 1971.
A coup attempt early in 1971 led to then prime minister Siaka Stevens calling in troops from neighboring Guinea's army, which remained for two years. Stevens turned the government into a one-party state under the aegis of the All People's Congress Party in April 1978. In 1992 rebel soldiers overthrew Stevens's successor, Joseph Momoh, calling for a return to a multiparty system. In 1996, another military coup ousted the country's military leader and president. Nevertheless, a multiparty presidential election proceeded in 1996, and People's Party candidate Ahmad Tejan Kabbah won with 59.4% of the vote, becoming Sierra Leone's first democratically elected president.
A Decade-Long Civil War
But a violent military coup ousted President Kabbah's civilian government in May 1997. The leader of the coup, Lieut. Col. Johnny Paul Koroma, assumed the title Head of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC). Koroma began a reign of terror, destroying the economy and murdering enemies. The Commonwealth of Nations demanded the reinstatement of Kabbah, and ECOMOG, the Nigerian-led peacekeeping force, intervened. On March 10, 1998, after ten months in exile, Kabbah resumed his rule over Sierra Leone. The ousted junta and other rebel forces continued to wage attacks, many of which included the torture, rape, and brutal maimings of thousands of civilians, including countless children; amputation by machete was the horrific signature of the rebels. In addition to political power, the rebels, who were supported by Liberia's president Charles Taylor, sought control of Sierra Leone's rich diamond fields.
In Jan. 1999, rebels and Liberian mercenaries stormed the capital, demanding the release of the imprisoned Revolutionary United Front (RUF) leader, Foday Sankoh. ECOMOG regained control of Freetown, but President Kabbah later released Sankoh so he could participate in peace negotiations. Pressured by Nigeria and the U.S., among other countries, Kabbah agreed to an untenable power-sharing agreement in July 1999, which made Sankoh vice president of the country—and in charge of the diamond mines. The accord dissolved in May 2000 after the RUF abducted about 500 UN peacekeepers and attacked Freetown. Sankoh was captured and died in government custody in 2003, while awaiting trial for war crimes.
The conflict was officially declared over in Jan. 2002. An estimated 50,000 people were killed in the decade-long civil war. The UN installed its largest peacekeeping force in the country (17,000 troops). President Kabbah was reelected with 70% of the vote in May 2002. In 2004, the disarmament of 70,000 soldiers was completed, and a UN-sponsored war crimes tribunal opened. For the past several years, the UN has listed Sierra Leone as the world's "least livable" country, based on its poverty and the poor quality of life endured by its citizens.
International Court Convicts Charles Taylor; Democratic Elections Resume
The trial of Charles Taylor, the former Liberian president, on charges of crimes against humanity began at a UN criminal court at The Hague in 2007. He was charged with abetting the violent rebel group in Sierra Leone's civil war that was responsible for atrocities, which included hacking off the limbs of civilians, sexual slavery, conscripting child soldiers, and even cannibalism. In April 2012, after deliberating for more than a year, the court, comprised of three judges from Ireland, Samoa, and Uganda, convicted Taylor of crimes against humanity and war crimes for his support of the rebels. His conviction is the first by an international court since the Nuremberg trials.
In June 2007, three former rebel leaders were convicted of crimes against humanity by a UN-backed court. Alex Tamba Brima, Brima Bazzy Kamara, and Santigie Borbor Kanumurder were found guilty of rape and enlisting child soldiers. It was the first time an international tribunal ruled on the recruitment of children under age 15 as soldiers.
In September 2007 elections, the governing party suffered a surprising defeat when opposition leader Ernest Koroma, of the All People's Congress (APC), defeated Vice President Solomon E. Berewa, of the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP), 55% to 45%. The elections were Sierra Leone's first since the United Nations peacekeeping force left the county in 2004. Koroma was reelected in November 2012 to a second and final term. It was the first election held without UN supervision, and the results were deemed fair.
The UN Security Council lifted the last sanctions on Sierra Leone in September 2010, having determined that the government had gained control over the country from the rebels and that the rebels had been disarmed and had been integrated into the national army.
In April 2012, after deliberating for more than a year, the war crimes court at the Hague convicted former Liberian president Charles Taylor of aiding and abetting war crimes and crimes against humanity in Sierra Leone's civil war. His conviction was the first by an international court since the Nuremberg trials. He was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Ebola Outbreak Kills Hundreds
An outbreak of Ebola hit Sierra Leone in March 2014. By early December, it is estimated to have killed about 1,660 people in Sierra Leone, and there were about 7,635 suspected and confirmed cases of it in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It is the worst outbreak since the virus was first identified almost 40 years ago. In order to contain the virus, Sierra Leone instituted a 3-day lockdown on the country and an army police, soldiers, and about 30,000 volunteers went door to door looking for victims.

Mammals residing in the oil palm plantations
9:19 AM | Posted by Jo Ross | Edit Post
In March 2009 the camera traps were moved to an oil palm plantation to investigate to what extent the Bornean wild cats, and indeed the wider mammal community, use plantations, and to estimate the density of leopard cats, which are thought to do well in this habitat. Our study site, the Danum Palm plantation is the southernmost tip of a vast contiguous plantation area, and is sandwiched between the Segama river, to the east, and the Ulu Segama and Malua Forests Reserves, to the West.
During the survey we recorded over 23 species of mammal that were using the plantation, although, importantly, some species such as the sambar deer and mouse deer were only recorded at the forest-plantation boundary. Bornean yellow muntjac and red muntjac were recorded in some areas, however, photo-capture rates of these species are lower than that from our forest surveys, which suggests that they may be found at lower densities in plantations. Bearded pigs, porcupines and Pig-tailed macaques were found in good numbers throughout the plantation, whereas long-tailed macaques tended to be associated with the camera sites adjacent to the Segama river.
Leopard cats were the most commonly recorded carnivore, although Malay civets and common palm civets were also frequently recorded. On several occasions photographs were also obtained of mongooses and yellow-throated martens. It's likely that the high densities of rodents found in these plantations are being exploited to differing degrees by these particular carnivores. In addition to leopard cats we also photo-trapped a single male marbled cat, on 4 separate occasions, which is extremely rare, even for forest surveys. Crucially, as with the Samba and mousedeer, this marbled cat was only detected on the very edge (literally) of the forest. We found no evidence of the clouded leopard, bay cat or flat-headed cat using the plantation, although it should be highlighted that survey was too brief to conclude that these felids are not using the plantation.
Leopard cat photographed along one of the palm terraces (Top).

We have now removed all the cameras from the plantation, where they will be sadly missed by the local children who found them an endless source of fascination!

Just one of the guys! George Clooney is friends with some of Hollywood's hottest leading men — among them Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck. But his cutest pal by far is Sandra Bullock's 3-year-old son, Louis, who bonded with the actor on the set of Clooney and Bullock's new drama, Gravity.
"My son thinks he's a very cool dude," single mom Bullock told reporters at a Toronto International Film Festival press conference for the movie on Monday, Sept. 9. "If there's a choice between me [and] George and Alfonso [Cuaron, the director], my son will leave me to be with George and these guys. He's a boy's boy, so he has to go talk to the men."
The Heat star, 49, who adopted Louis in 2010 — within months of her high-profile divorce from ex-husband Jesse James — said that her son actually seeks out male-bonding time with the A-lister. "The cute little anecdote is that he went to me and said, 'Where's George and Rande [Gerber]?'" she recalled. (Gerber, married to Cindy Crawford, is a close pal of Clooney's.) "I said, 'I don't know!' And he said, 'I need them.' So we went and found them, and they had man time. And I sort of stood off to the side and waited for them to finish. Then I was allowed to take him back."
Bullock herself has been friends with Clooney for more than two decades, she noted. "George and I have known each other for over 20 years. We've known each other since we got out of college," she said. "We have the same group of friends, so we've known each other since we had no work."
Finding work is no longer a problem for either of them, of course, but some things never change. "George is the same exact person I knew then in all respects," the Oscar winner (for 2009's The Blind Side) insisted. The one difference? "He has better hair now," she quipped. "He has less of it, which I appreciate."
Another thing she appreciates? The currently single 52-year-old's big heart. "He's taken his blessed life and done amazing things with it," Bullock said of her costar. "George is a good man, and I'm really proud to know him for this time and see the human being he's become."

Geeky Wrapping Paper
Slap some geek on that gift...
- Wrapping paper for the rest of us
- No sappy words or pics, just pure geek awesome
- Nondemoninational, ChristmasBots, Zombies, Binary or Equations
After years of toiling and desperation, our engineers at ThinkGeek GiftLabs have finally invented something so unique and innovative, it perplexes even the brightest minds as to how global society might be impacted. We'll explain it to you but if your brain explodes, we warned you. You see, we have taken the flesh of a tree, mixed it up with some water and other patented goos. Then we took both some organic and inorganic pigments and dissolved them into a solvent. We took those pigments and applied them to the top of the modified tree flesh using very specific and highly intelligent patterns, and then coated everything with a nice protective finish made out of a special liquid that contains a low percentage of pigment and dries to a nice luster. We then folded these new creations and packaged four to a package and are selling them to you at a very affordable price so that you can turn around and use them to cover up things you want to gift to other people so that they might be surprised in a controlled manner. Sheer brilliance!
Currently, you can choose between these designs:
- Equations - Scientific equations hand-written on blue and white graph paper.
- Binary - Black paper with a terminal green font and 'Wrapping Paper' in binary written all across it.
- Zombies - Black paper with zombies in various states of gift-giving/receiving, including a brain wrapped up with a pretty red bow.
- ChristmasBots - Light blue paper with the cutest little holiday robots you'll ever imagine. And by cute we mean hella-nifty.
- Nondenominational - Dark blue paper in a traditional style emblazoned with "Have a Satisfactory, Non-denominational Capitalist, Wintertime Gift-giving Season!"
Each pack of wrapping paper contains 4 sheets. Each sheet is 20" x 30". Many trees *were* harmed to bring you these unique creations, but it was all in good fun so what can we do?

Nicolas Alvarez speaks on the telephone in his apartment on the 27th floor of the "Tower of David" skyscraper in Caracas.
It boasts a helicopter landing pad, glorious views of the Avila mountain range, and large balconies for weekend barbecues.
Yet a 45-story skyscraper in the center of Venezuela's capital Caracas is no five-star hotel or swanky apartment block: it is a slum, probably the highest in the world.
Credit: Jorge Silva/Reuters
Gabriel Rivas, 30, lifts weights on a balcony on the 28th floor.
Dubbed the "Tower of David," the building was intended to be a shining new financial center but was abandoned around 1994 after the death of its developer - banker and horse-breeder David Brillembourg - and the collapse of the financial sector.

Muhtorov, the IJU, and Foust: Part 2
This entry is my second contribution to a debate with Joshua Foust about the recent arrest of Jamshid Muhtorov, as well as Uzbek militant movements more generally. As with the first, it is co-written with Lauren Morgan — but this time with less bombast and self-indulgence. To review the debate so far:
- Immediately following Muhtorov's arrest, Foust wrote "The Crazy, Trumped Up Uzbek Hype" at Registan (Jan. 24)
- Our response: "Jamshid Muhtorov, the Islamic Jihad Union, and Joshua Foust" at Gunpowder & Lead (Jan. 30)
- Foust's response to us: "The Merits of the Mukhtarov Case, and Why Skepticism Is Not Conspiracy" (Jan. 30)
Our article referred to Foust's original contribution as "an epistemological wreck," arguing that it made a number of claims that were either extremely hyperbolic or not supported by evidence. There were two parts to our argument. First, we argued that Muhtorov's arrest did not constitute a "thought crime," and that there was in fact probable cause for the arrest. Second, we argued that contrary to Foust's original post, the Islamic Jihad Union (IJU), to which authorities allege Muhtorov was trying to provide material support, did in fact exist, and that there is reason to consider it a terrorist organization. On both of our points, Foust has either significantly backtracked or else conceded our points.
Probable Cause for Muhtorov's Arrest
Foust's original article argued that Muhtorov's arrest amounted to "arresting people for sending emails… essentially criminalizing participation in a chat room." In response, we quoted extensively from the arrest affidavit, establishing the panoply of facts from which authorities determined that Muhtorov was leaving the country to join up with the IJU — the act of going to join that organization constituting material support for a designated terrorist entity in contravention of U.S. law. We contrasted Muhtorov's case with that of Youssef al Khattab, a big talker on the Internet who has spread militant Islamic propaganda from the U.S. — and has done so legally, his free speech rights protected.
In Foust's rebuttal, he states that the area where we differ from him is "the presumption of Mukhtarov's guilt." This is plainly untrue. There is a significant difference between authorities having probable cause to make an arrest and proving a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (which is the standard for conviction following a criminal trial, and also the area where a presumption of innocence becomes relevant). In fact, we made this point abundantly clear in our entry, noting that Foust has elsewhere asked "if the current charges are trumped up," and explicitly calling this "a fair question." It is quite clear that we do not presume guilt in this case: rather, it seems to us that there was probable cause to make the arrest, which is an entirely separate question from guilt or innocence.
Foust goes on to say that his objection to Muhtorov's arrest was not that authorities lacked probable cause, but rather that the material-support law is itself flawed: "Mukhtarov does seem to have fallen afoul of the 'material support' laws in the U.S. My argument, poorly stated in that initial post, was that those laws are themselves inherently flawed." We will take him at his word that this was the point he was trying to make — as Foust concedes, the fact that he was doing so was not entirely clear. But two problems remain with his argument. One is that, in critiquing the basis for Muhtorov's arrest, Foust either improperly portrays or else simply does not understand what Muhtorov is being charged with. The second problem is that there may in fact be a better legal regime than the current material-support laws, but Foust proffers no alternative.
Foust's inaccurate portrayal of the crimes with which Muhtorov is charged is clear when one reads Foust's entry carefully:
While scolding me for reducing the Mukhtarov indictment to "crimes on a chatroom," Daveed pulls from the indictment itself a list of crimes that include sending emails favorable of Juma Namangani and saying he supports the goals of a website administrator. I fail to see the distinction, even if he is working on semantics rather than specifics, between "email correspondence with a website administrator" and "crimes on a chatroom."
Muhtorov's reference to Namangani actually occurred in a phone call rather than an e-mail, but that is beside the point. The larger issue is that referring favorably to Namangani is not a crime, and Muhtorov is not being charged for doing so. If authorities tried to criminalize speaking favorably of Namangani, we would both oppose it, as that would be a clear contravention of the speech rights enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This is a vital distinction: the bullet pointed list that we took from the affidavit did not constitute "a list of crimes," but rather a list of acts that put together gave authorities probable cause to make an arrest on the basis that Muhtorov was taking concrete action to join a designated terrorist group overseas, and support its activities. In his portrayal of this point, Foust is either being dishonest or else did not understand the distinction between acts and crimes: we assume it is the latter, both because it's always best to assume good intentions in one's debating opponents, and also because we have not known Foust to be purposefully dishonest in his previous writings. But informed critique of the material support laws is impossible without getting the basic facts right about the basis for an arrest under this statue.
Foust argues that "just because Mukhtarov said some scary things on the Internet, that doesn't mean he committed any traditionally-defined crimes in doing so. To criminalize this sort of correspondence veers dangerously close to creating thought-crimes."Again, the correspondence wasn't criminalized — see the above-referenced case of Youssef al Khattab, which we also mentioned in our initial post, as it is instructive about the latitude individuals are given to "say scary things on the Internet," in Foust's parlance. Muhtorov's arrest, rather, is based on multiple factors: what he said on the Internet about his desire to join the IJU, along with the fact that he immediately began searching for tickets to Turkey upon doing so, along with telephone conversations that further clarified his intentions with respect to the IJU, along with telling his daughter that she would never see him again except in heaven, along with quitting his job before finally purchasing his plane ticket to Turkey. Put together, this is not the criminalization of correspondence, but a case study in how various pieces of evidence that are indicative of intentions can combine to give authorities probable cause to believe that an overt (non-speech) act is a crime. Foust can still argue that the law should not allow an arrest under these circumstances, but the first step in any critique should be understanding how the law actually operates.
This brings us to the second problem with Foust's critique of material-support laws: it critiques them without offering an alternative. Americans who have traveled overseas to join designated terrorist groups have in fact succeeded in killing people: two recent examples are Americans who executed suicide attacks in Somalia, Abdisalan Hussein Ali and Shirwa Ahmed. So, if the material-support laws are bad, what would be better? On one end of the spectrum we could have no material-support laws at all: Americans could have the right and ability to join and assist any violent non-state actor they choose, anywhere in the world. We do not think that such a legal regime would be an improvement on the present system. On the other hand, perhaps there is a revision to current material-support laws that would be be superior to what we have now. If that is Foust's position, he would make the best contribution not just by calling the present law "dumb," but by finding and proposing that superior alternative.
The Islamic Jihad Union
One particular reason that we decided to weigh in on this debate was Foust's initial claim that the IJU didn't actually exist. To quote Foust: "There's this IJU group, which still doesn't exist outside of some Internet chat rooms." We replied by showing, at some length, that the IJU does exist, that it's a real thing that has undertaken operations. Foust replies that the real issue is whether the IJU is capable of global reach: "Just because a group says it has global aspirations, that doesn't mean they are capable of global action or warrant a global response…. So when Daveed says that I argued the IJU doesn't exist, he's misrepresenting my argument." This is obviously a hard position to sustain: his initial post said that the IJU "doesn't exist outside of some Internet chat rooms" — and proving in response that it does exist constitutes an on-point refutation. Thus, Foust's co-blogger at Registan, Nathan Hamm, noted in the comments to Foust's latter post: "I think it's hard to say that Daveed is grossly misrepresenting your position when you, well, said these things."
Indeed, the only way Foust's observations about the IJU can fit with his original critique of the Muhtorov arrest is if the IJU isn't a real group, or really shouldn't be considered a terrorist organization, thus underscoring the injustice of the arrest. So Foust now concedes our point, that the IJU exists; but he goes on to claim that our position is that "the IJU is a really real thing that does stuff and is scary." The "scariness" flourish is, of course, just that — a flourish. As we made clear in our first entry, neither of us consider the Provisional IRA to be "scary," or "a threat to all peoples." But it is real, and it supports and undertakes violence, and we are better off if our government does not give Americans carte blanche to assist the organization.
That is all we really need to establish with respect to the IJU: that it is real, and that it supports and undertakes militant activities, and so designating it is a rational decision. Whether the IJU is "capable of global action" or not is beside the point with respect to a discussion of Muhtorov's arrest. But it is worth noting that, as with Muhtorov, the case that the IJU is a real organization that undertakes violence is not a matter of trusting what they say on the Internet. There have been arrests by multiple governments — not just Uzbekistan but also Germany and Turkey. (While Foust argues that there may be a distinction between the IJU and the "Islamic Jihad Group" behind the 2007 plot to set off explosives in Germany, he certainly does not prove this point, and the intelligence sources with whom we have spoken deny this distinction. Foust himself mentions that a multiplicity of languages are being spoken within IJU, which includes non-Uzbek speakers, and this fact can lend itself to multiple translations of the group's name. Indeed, various other jihadi groups, including al Qaeda in Iraq, have operated under different names and operated different websites.) Moreover, with respect to IJU's Internet claims, one can — as with Muhtorov — look to the intersection between what it is claiming and the facts on the ground. The IJU has been able to provide credible accounts of attacks in Afghanistan and drone strikes in Pakistan that suggests an inside knowledge of these incidents — so when American analysts put stock in these IJU claims, they are not just taking these groups at their word. Rather, they are judging the IJU's claims in light of external evidence that can either verify or undermine those claims.
So our overarching point is that it seems the IJU was properly designated as a terrorist entity. Whether or not it is a "global threat" is a beside the point. We do not claim to be able to pinpoint exactly how powerful it is at present, in part because the IJU is an institution in flux, as are many violent non-state actors. But as we can see from AQAP's remarkable advances over the past year in Yemen's Abyan province, jihadi groups are capable of gaining momentum beyond what analysts expect. This is not to say that the IJU or IMU will do so — but rather that, when exploring such questions as the threat a group poses, some degree of humility should always be in order.
And that's all, folks. Foust has backed down from the rather soaring claims of his first post, and has adopted a more moderate position that opposes current material-support laws. His representation of what those laws actually prohibit is imperfect, but this post hopefully clarifies for Foust the distinction between crimes and acts that his previous posts misapprehend. The area where Foust could take this discussion in the future is toward a more sustained critique of the material-support laws. But if he does that, it is our hope that he will try to contribute to the question of what he would prefer in their place.

Midway through every year, this industry celebrates its heritage with a big gathering of its leading companies and people. Such a get-together offers the opportunity to see how competitors are faring, to learn about newcomers, and to catch up with old friends. At one time, this event was known as the Microwave Theory & Techniques Symposium (MTT-S), but it has more recently been elevated to the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) and Microwave Week.
Scheduled for June 17-22, 2012 in the Palais des Congres de Montreal (Montreal Convention Center) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Microwave Week has been given the theme "Microwave Without Borders"appropriate for an event taking place outside of the United States for only the second time in its 60-year history. But quietly, this year's site has proven to be an issue of discontent for some companies.
This is no slight against Montreal itself, a beautiful, cosmopolitan city that boasts its own share of top-notch RF/microwave companiesAdvantech Wireless and Focus Microwaves, to name but two. Also, lest we forget, the word at the beginning of the event's name is "International." Yet somehow, the international aspect has always referred to the starting point of the other exhibitors, and not where the show is actually being held.
So why does having the event beyond the borders of the United States make a difference? Plain and simple: It is the border crossing, and the fact that many RF/microwave companies are involved in work that is in some way connected to the US government. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) provisions are essentially regulations that control the export and import of defense-related articles and services that are on the United States Munitions List (USML), which is under the control of the US Department of State. And in this industry, it sometimes takes more than a little effort and time to separate the goods and services that are related to the US government from the ones that are not.
As a result, some industry stalwarts will be missing from this year's IMS exhibition. But while the exhibition is certainly diminished by these companies' absence, their decision should be respected. During a time of heightened national-security awareness, a border crossing with sample products can represent an unnecessary risk.
For those who make the trip, all the best wishes for a happy and successful IMS2012. As the industry's once-a-year event, it features some outstanding technical presentations and workshops, along with a first-rate exhibition floor. And of course, Microwave Week includes other notable events in addition to IMS2012, including the Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Symposium and the Automatic RF Techniques Group (ARFTG) conference.

The festival annually draws about 800 people, who get a chance to tour an authentic one-room school house, take horse rides courtesy of the Pamlico County Horseman�s Association and see how clothes were washed in fire-fueled cast iron pots, hosted by George Peacock.
Historical Association President Brent Stowe said the event should have enough history and entertainment to please its target audience � families.
The local 4-H will present demonstrations and games for children, along with exhibits by the Grantsboro/Silverhill Volunteer Fire Department and the Pamlico County Sheriff�s Department.
Plenty of live music includes the Marine Corps Ragtime Band, which will stroll about the grounds, playing lively tunes.
Some other musical attractions will include Harbor Sounds and Ed Terry of The County Opry.
Giggles the Clown will be on site with a magic show, and there will be face painting done by Heartworks.
Stowe said churches and other groups are invited to sell arts and crafts.
There will be homemade jams and preserves for sale.
A �Grandma's Bake Sale� will include cookies, cupcakes, cakes, cobblers and pies, with traditional favorite � chocolate cakes. There also will be blueberry, peach, coconut and apple dumplings for sale. Traditional barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs and drinks round out the menu.
The Aurora Fossil Museum will bring its annual fossil pile for children.
The authentic barbershop will have painting in the barber�s chair.
The popular Genealogy Room will be open, and everyone is invited to bring photographs or documents to Barbara Kerr to find out about their ancestors.
