Private Farmhouse in the Montefalco wine region
Parker Villas Exclusive - A private pocket listing available nowhere else
Villa Spago is a bastion of spacious privacy crowning a verdant, level hilltop offering far reaching views across the green heart of Umbria with Mt. Subasio in the distance. Practically equidistant from three of Umbria's most sought after destinations: Perugia, Assisi and Todi, Villa Spago is tailor made for travelers seeking to explore all this region has to offer. A gated entry reveals over 800 olive trees along with large symmetrical tracts of dazzling sunflower fields providing shelter, privacy and an abundance of outdoor space. The owner produces a private stock of high quality, extra virigin olive oil available for guests to purchase.
This classic farmhouse and its one bedroom cottage are located in the Montefalco wine area comprised of 24 wineries producing highly rated dry red wines from the Sagrantino grape.
This home offers airy, clutter free rooms furnished with country antiques. All the windows are screened, and with the exception of the cottage bedroom, all the others are air conditioned along with the living and dining rooms. For those preferring minimal steps, two bedrooms with their own bathrooms are at ground level.
The cooks in the group will enjoy a kitchen equipped with professional appliances and a wood fired barbecue grill. The kind and accommodating family who owns Villa Spago will happily conduct a cooking class focused on Umbrian cuisine. Over the years, Parker guests have unanimously given us rave reviews over this experience.
A mid week refresh cleaning with a change of towels is included in the price. A weekday cooking class, a traditional dinner and a barbecue night may be requested when booking.
For smaller groups, Villa Spago may be rented for up to 8 guests with access to four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Just four miles from the villa is a small town called Bastardo. The translation is quite obvious, but how do townsfolk refer to themselves? Among the dozens of villages you pass en route to the more famous ones, stop in on these very nice folks. We'd love to know.

Sunday Sermon: Staying Rubble Free
Last week I related the wall to the cynicism that educators can develop around themselves. This week I use my pastor's sermon regarding rebuilding the wall in Jerusalem to symbolize the quality product educators are striving to produce.
Nehemiah 4:10 tells us the people of Jerusalem were worn out with rebuilding the wall. They complained that there was simply too much rubble to remove. They complained that the work was not going fast enough. They wanted the wall finished immediately. Jerusalem's enemies were watching and waiting.
Nehemiah did not give up. He was one man resisting a contagion of fear. He could have given up and retreated to his former position in Persia. He didn't. His tenacity challenges me to remain steadfast as well in my educational endeavors even though the educational rubble is getting deep.
Teachers, the educators on the front line, are worn out. We're told every child will succeed…NOW. We're told every third grader will read on a third grade reading level by the end of third grade…NOW. The world isn't too friendly. They want school improvement and oh by the way it's our fault that things are the way they are and we better fix it…NOW.
It doesn't matter that students come to us with baggage they've picked up along the way. It doesn't matter that they may live in a homeless shelter, it doesn't matter that they are up at 2:00 a.m. shopping in the Walmart because meth addicted mom can't sleep. It doesn't matter that they take eight different medications to get them through the day. It doesn't matter that they are scared about what they will or won't find when they get home. It doesn't matter that mom did drugs the entire time she carried them and we will never know for sure how that affected them. It doesn't matter that mom tried to self-abort them but somehow it failed and a baby was born anyway with a low enough IQ to have severe problems but not low enough to qualify for special services. It doesn't matter that they can't speak a word of English, but they better pass "the test."
It doesn't matter that you spent last summer rewriting lesson plans formatted to the "guru of the moment" and what he thinks a good lesson plan should be since you will spend this summer adding additional bells and whistles to your plans because somebody somewhere says we must have them.
Now before I go too far off the venting deep-end let me advise that I see many good things that have come along since the passage of NCLB. Curriculum needed adjusting and procedures needed to be put in place to make sure teachers were sticking to what should be taught and at what level. I even agree with benchmark testing but it shouldn't be the 'be all, end all' to determining educational growth. I do disagree with the frantic to and fro that state board and county board officials seem to be doing. Let's try this. No, that doesn't work. Let's go back to that. This looks good. Ok, everybody do this…NOW.
Here we are in the thickness of battle and the very ones who should support us don't always do a good job of it. Why doesn't somebody somewhere stand up and scream, "Ok, we get it. We know what we need to do. We understand the law, and we will do everything in our power to comply. Let us do it already."
Nehemiah teaches us that there is no instant fix to what ails us. It's a process that must be endured. The rubble must be removed. You can't build anything worthwhile on a pile of rubble. A firm foundation must be established.
One thing encouraged Nehemiah, and it was faith. It was the root of his encouragement. As a Bible believer I know that there is not a lot I can do to improve the status of society today. I know things are going to get worse. However, I can work to make sure my classroom is a place that provides strict discipline, limits, and security while we work on the bricks in our educational wall. I can be willing to eliminate traditions and practices that no longer work or aren't feasible. We don't get a roomful of traditional students anymore. Traditional methods don't work. I must be also willing to eliminate beliefs that have never worked and some new beliefs that won't work either.
We must also be willing to admit we will never get rid of all the rubble.
My basement floor is the foundation of the home my husband and I have created. The rubble has been removed but every so often the dust and assorted crud builds up and we have to sweep it out.
I'm going to need a bigger broom.

You have an informative and educational blog. I enjoyed my visit.

I completely agree with this post.
All of the tools at educators disposals should be used as just that, tools. No one can build a house with a hammer alone.

You make a very good point, "we don't get a roomful of traditional students anymore. Traditional methods don't work." Observing and being objective enough to eliminate what doesn't work is hard for some but a must.
Also, accepting there will always be rubble we just have to make the best of what we have and go forth.

Moose Farts. A super easy to prepare, no-bake cookie treat that kids will love and maybe giggle a little at the name too.
Recently, a follower of the RockRecipes Facebook Page messaged me and asked if I had a recipe for Moose Farts! My first reaction was, of course… whaaaaat!!?
Then, suddenly I thought, wait, where have I heard that before. The nagging familiarness finally gave way to a memory of a trip to Gander for an event my daughter was participating in a couple of years ago.
On that weekend in Gander we ate at Rosie's Diner and Bakery twice. Once for lunch and back again for breakfast the next morning. The diner food we had there was top notch, from the classic club house sandwich and fries I had for lunch, to the toutons and eggs the next morning . Rosie's is definitely worth the few minutes off the TCH if you are driving through Gander.
As you enter Rosie's, there is a small display from their in house bakery with fresh bread, cakes and cookies. I suddenly remembered looking at one of the display cases with Spouse and there was a hand written sign in front of one of the piles of cookie trays announcing in bold letters "MOOSE FARTS". So these were a thing after all.
A few discreet enquires with friends in Central, and fewer degrees of separation than six later, I was able to procure a recipe that I was assured was as near a facsimile to Rosie's famous Moose Farts as I was likely to find…if not the genuine article itself.
Having never tried Rosie's Moose Farts, I can make no such declaration. Perhaps someone from Gander who knows them well, will have to try the recipe and give us a definitive opinion.
This no-bake cookie confection could not be easier to make, and would be an ideal snow day project if you have small kids about. I immediately sent the recipe to my nephews Nate & Luke in Edmonton, who are still in Primary School.
I know they will be thrilled to tell everyone at school they made "Moose Farts". LOL! I can just see their grins now.
These are also a great addition to my collection to our growing collection of Freezer Friendly No- Bake Cookie Treats. I'll bet there are at least a few other's you'll want to try there too.

Political positions · Electoral history Public image · Saturday Night Live parodies Resignation of Sarah Palin Going Rogue: An American Life Sarah Palin's Alaska
Sarah Louise Palin (pronounced /ˈpeɪlɨn/ ( listen); née Heath; born February 11, 1964) is an American politician, author, speaker, and political news commentator who was the youngest person and the first woman elected Governor of Alaska. Chosen by Republican Party presidential candidate John McCain in August 2008 to be his running mate in that year's presidential election, she was the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major party, as well as the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party. Speculation that she would run for U.S. president in 2012 began when it appeared the 2008 McCain–Palin ticket was going to be defeated.
Before she was elected governor, she was a member of the Wasilla, Alaska City Council from 1992 to 1996, and the city's mayor from 1996 to 2002. After an unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor of Alaska in 2002, she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 until she resigned in 2004.

Stage 9, Laura – Cooktown, 140 km, 1150 m
An excited crowd of spectators welcomed the 2012 Crocodile Trophy winner Ivan Rybarik (CZE) on Grassy Hill in Cooktown on Sunday. Josef Benetseder took the stage win for Austria ahead of Mike Mulkens (BEL) and the Australian Luke Haines. Ondrej Fojtik claims the overall second place and Wolfgang Krenn third.
Josef Benetseder was the fastest rider of the day and claimed his first Crocodile Trophy stage win. "Last year I got second three times, so I came back to win a stage," said the beaming Austrian road racer today. "It was much harder this year and those technical mountain bike stages were challenging, but today I knew it was a stage for me."
The field had been started in staggered starts with the leaders in the GC riding out of Laura onto the wide and undulating gravel roads last. That way most of the riders arrived together on Grassy Hill and celebrated their achievements of the past nine days. Mike Mulkens from Belgium was second today and the Australian Luke Haines third.
Czech rider dominates field
With an impressive performance and four stage wins, Ivan Rybarik is the 2012 Crocodile Trophy champion. He arrived with the second and third-placed riders and after congratulating Ondrej Fojtik (CZE) and Wolfgang Krenn said, "I just had such a good time racing the Crocodile Trophy this year."
He added that he wanted to thank his wife Yana and daughter Elena who had supported him in his preparation for the race and his Rubena Rocky Trail Racing Team. "My business partner Ondrej [Slezak] and his Hana were great and looked after me these past weeks and motivated me each day. We just had such a great time, in our team camp the atmosphere was always positive, we were chatting and talking about biking all the time. It was really the best environment for me to do well this year."
Race organiser Gerhard Schönbacher was content on Grassy Hill also, "This year we implemented a lot of new elements in the Crocodile Trophy. More mountain biking tracks, new stage destinations and even though the increased participant number meant a much greater logistical challenge, it definitely encourages us to keep improving our event." The hardest longest, hottest and most adventurous mountain bike stage race will be back in Tropical Far North Queensland in 2013 from 19 – 26 October.

Earlier this week, we attended Global Green's Pre-Oscar Party, an event sponsored by Chevrolet that was filled with talented actors, artists and environmentalists. While celebrities like Alison Brie and Sophia Bush arrived to the green carpet in HOV-lane ready Chevy Volts, we chatted in the Volt lounge with celebs John Galecki, Adrian Grenier, Dylan McDermott and other influential eco-luminaries in Hollywood. Later on, I took the stage to introduce Emmy and Grammy Nominee, world renowned entertainer and philanthropist Sheila E. who tore the house down with her performance. Backstage, I asked Sheila E. to share her thoughts on environmentalism and what she personally does on a daily basis to live a sustainable life. You can read excerpts from my Hollywood interview with Sheila E. below. Ah, yes… I do lead a glamorous life.
Comments by Sheila E.:
On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of performing before more than 1,200 people at Global Green's 9th Annual Pre-Oscar Party. I spent an incredibly fun night filled with great company – just check out some of the photos to get a sense of the buzz. But most importantly, we were not only gathered to celebrate the upcoming Academy Awards, we were also in the presence of other eco-luminaries, activists and leading movers and shakers of environmentalism. During the night, I met so many caring and passionate people – joined together to better our community and create a healthier environment today and for future generations. I was also excited to help launch Global Green's citizen entrepreneur/local green hero contest and help call for President Obama to attend the Rio Earth Summit. You can nominate your green hero at globalgreen.org. To me, the protection of the Earth's resources are a vital part of our responsibility as citizens in the community. Like Global Green, I truly believe in everyone coming together to do their part in protecting the environment and creating a sustainable future, whether you devote a Saturday morning to help clean up your local beach or drive an electric vehicle and keep the air clean.

Our Food Philosophy - Organic
We produce what we believe is good for our families and thus would be good for yours. We grow food to secure for ourselves and our customers, a healthy alternative to what is presently available. We produce food that is free of harsh chemicals and is grown using natural fertilizers. Our chickens are free-running and are fed only the highest quality certified organic feed with a supplemental diet of organic greens. We strongly believe that food should nourish and not cause any harm to our bodies or the environment.
Food should not be wasted. There are people, who go hungry daily, and there are the many who are overfed, but under nourished. Sadly, this is most prevalent in the industrial nations. The spread of junk fast-foods is becoming a global crisis as corporate giants want to further taint our food supply with new, untested "species" concocted in a genetic laboratory.
For millions of years, the natural food system did not fail mankind. We not only survived, but flourished to a point of overpopulation. It is only within the past 100 years of man's brief time on earth that we have resorted to artificial and toxic means to grow our foods. As a result, we not only have harmed our health, but we have dealt a blow to the very environment that supports our well-being.
No longer is there a lake, river or stream that is not contaminated with toxic agricultural chemicals. No longer is there a person who does not know someone who has cancer, or who has had a heart attack. There is only one way to reverse this destructive path and we believe we have taken the first and most important step and that was the decision to dedicate our god-given energies to the task of growing food as it was created, and to provide access to the local community for the betterment of its physical and economic health.
We must all become aware of the hidden costs of industrial farming. They do not, or will ever be included in the environmental costs to our air, water or our health., These are costs we and our children will pay for long into the future with our well-being and billions of dollars in taxes.
We believe that through the education of nutrition and the business and politics of food, we can succeed in our goal of setting up a viable alternative system that benefits all involved.
Our Business Philosophy
We cannot separate our personal philosophy from our business philosophy. Our business philosophy is an expression of our personal and religious philosophy. In a pure business sense, our goal is to establish a commercially successful organic farm that benefits a regional economy. By regional, we do not mean "a few miles down the road."

It burns!!!! Your skin that is! Found out the hard way. I was using the Bondo Resin with the fiberglass cloth to line the inside of my bucket, I had rubber gloves on, but ended up rubbing the sides of my forearms all in the Bondo unknowingly, then the pain hit me! Yowzers!!! Not only does that stuff stink like gigantor radioactive Godzilla Turds, but it burns like Napalm and sticks twice as bad!!! Water don't help, soap and water don't help, orange juice don't help, you just gotta wait it out, and scream, curse and cry in the mean time. It petrified my arm hairs and permanently pasted them to my forearms. I waited for it to dry and had to give myself a girlie little shave down. So now I have bald spots on my orangutan like appendages. However, I did discover a better way to remove it from your skin that works like magic...Baby Oil!!! Go figure.

NHANES data are often used to provide national estimates on important public health issues. This module introduces how to generate the descriptive statistics for NHANES data that are most often used to obtain these estimates. Topics covered in this module include checking frequency distribution and normality, generating percentiles, generating means, and generating proportions.
Task 1: Check Frequency Distribution and Normality
It is highly recommended that you examine the frequency distribution and normality of the data before starting any analysis. These descriptive statistics are useful in determining whether parametric or non-parametric methods are appropriate to use, and whether you need to recode or transform data to account for extreme values and outliers.
- Key Concepts about Checking Frequency Distribution and Normality
- How to Check Frequency Distribution and Normality in SAS
- How to Check Frequency Distribution and Normality in Stata
- Download Sample Code and Datasets
Task 2: Generate Percentiles
Percentiles are used to indicate the relative position of an individual within a given dataset. Frequency distribution and percentiles also can be used to describe the characteristics of a distribution and to check for outliers.
Although SAS 9.1 and Stata have commands for calculating estimates of weighted percentiles, they do not have commands to directly produce standard errors for the percentiles. So this tutorial will not provide sample programs in SAS 9.1 and Stata for percentiles and their standard errors. In SAS 9.2 Survey Procedures, variance estimation for percentiles using the Woodruff method is available. See the SAS 9.2 documentation for information on using this method.

Task 3: Generate Means
Means are used to estimate averages of a particular variable of interest, e.g., the average total cholesterol levels or the average systolic blood pressure levels in a given population.
- Key Concepts about Means
- How to Generate Means Using SUDAAN
- How to Generate Means Using SAS Survey Procedures
- How to Generate Means Using Stata

Task 4: Generate Proportions
Proportions are used for prevalence estimates of an event or trait, e.g., the prevalence of persons with high blood pressure (HBP) in the U.S.

BELMONT, N.C. – For the first time this season, the King University women's soccer team face a road Conference Carolinas match as they traveled to league leading Belmont Abbey College on Saturday. The Crusaders netted a goal in just the second minute to take the lead, but Morgan Lawson kept the Tornado close in the second half, and Keely Easterling evened the score in the 78th minute as the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Just two minutes into the contest, Belmont Abbey's Amanda Steiner took a pass from Ananda Gebreyesus and punched the ball into the back of the net to give the Crusaders (7-2-1, 3-0-1 CC) the early advantage.
Belmont Abbey put pressure on the King defense all afternoon as they rifled 41 shots in the match, placing 17 on goal. However, the goalkeeper tandem of Nicole Dagher and Lawson kept the score within reach. Dagher made seven saves in the first half while Lawson accounted for a nine saves in the second half and both overtime sessions.
Rachel Thorpe ripped King's first shot of the match in the 19th minute, but the attempt sailed high. Shalisa Barnett had King's next opportunity in the 25th minute, but her shot was turned away by Crusader goalkeeper Hannah Kohls. Thorpe nearly broke through in the 40th minute has her shot got past Kohls. However, Thorpe's attempt hit the post to keep the game a 1-0 at halftime.
Belmont Abbey continued to take shots in the second half, and Lawson made her first save in the 62nd minute. She then came up with three saves in a three minute span starting in the 71st minute when she turned away Jamie Hampton's shot. Lawson then turned away two more Hampton chances to keep King within one goal.
Finally the Tornado (2-6-2, 0-1-2 CC) broke through in the 78th minute as Barnett ripped a shot that was blocked by the Crusader defense. However, the rebound bounced right to Easterling's foot, and she deposited the ball into the back of the net to knot the match at 1-1.
The Crusaders ripped five more shots in regulation, but none of them were on net before Thorpe had a shot sail high in the 84th minute as the game went to overtime.
Rayna Spears had the first scoring chance of overtime as she ripped a shot that went just high in the 93rd minute before play moved to the other end of the field. Hampton laced another shot in the 97th minute, and Cassidy Coutinho placed a shot on net a minute later, but Lawson was up to the challenge again to keep the game tied and send it to a second overtime.
The Crusaders didn't let up in the second extra session, taking three shots in the first two minutes, one of which was turned away by Lawson. From that point on, Belmont Abbey registered two more shots, but neither was on net as the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Tornado made 16 saves on 41 Belmont Abbey shots, setting a season-high for saves in a game. It also marked the first time since September of 2011 King has recorded 16 saves in a game. Lawson posted a season-high of nine saves while Dagher added seven of her own. Offensively, Easterling netted her second goal of the season, and her career.
King will stay on the road next week as they travel to Erskine College on Wednesday evening. Kickoff from Due West, S.C., is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

FTC: T-Mobile knowingly added bogus charges to bills
The Federal Trade Commission accused wireless carrier T-Mobile of adding bogus charges totaling "hundreds of millions of dollars" on customers' accounts without their consent.
At least as far back as 2009 until at least December 2013, the carrier placed unauthorized charges for third-party services on customers' mobile phone bills, a practice called "cramming," the agency alleges in a suit filed today in U.S. District Court. The FTC says T-Mobile also made it difficult for its customers to detect the charges.
The FTC's case against T-Mobile would likely be the largest "cramming" case brought by federal authorities. This is the first "cramming" action that the FTC has brought against a phone provider, but the agency has previously taken action against 30 companies for the practice, said Jessica Rich, the FTC's director of consumer protection.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere called the FTC's complaint "unfounded and without merit. In fact, T-Mobile stopped billing for these Premium SMS services last year and launched a proactive program to provide full refunds for any customer that feels that they were charged for something they did not want."
The FTC's case says that the charges were typically for third-party content such as flirting tips, horoscope information or celebrity gossip and amounted to $9.99 per month. Usually, when customers see a third-party service in an advertisement, they must opt-in twice before charges can be added to their mobile phone bill.
However, in many cases deceptive advertisements hid the fact that the consumer was agreeing to the charges, said FTC attorney Brian Shull. And, in other cases, the third-party merchants were "just buying phone numbers from random places and billing these consumers without any notice whatsoever," he said.
T-Mobile typically gets 30% to 40% of the third-party fees and forwards the rest to the merchant. "We allege that T-Mobile knew about these fraudulent charges and failed to stop them or take any action, therefore they continued," said Rich.
The money fraudulently gathered by this practice could actually be higher than the "hundreds of millions" that the agency lists in the suit, because that is just the amount that T-Mobile gained from its alleged "cramming," Rich said.
T-Mobile was "deceptive and unfair" because the company had let charges from third-party companies continue on consumers' bills after "clear warning signs those charges were fraudulent."
The FTC's case against T-Mobile would likely be the largest "cramming" case brought by federal authorities. In the most notable case, Verizon in 2010 settled a case with the FCC agreeing to refund more than $50 million in "mystery fee" overcharges to customers and made a $25 million voluntary payment to the U.S. Treasury.
This is the first "cramming" action that the FTC has brought against a phone provider, but the agency has previously taken action against 30 companies for the practice, Rich said.
The Federal Communications Commission announced that it has coordinated with the FTC on its own investigation of "cramming" complaints involving T-Mobile. "Consumers should not be charged for services that they did not order," said Travis LeBlanc, acting chief of the FCC's Enforcement Bureau. "We will coordinate our investigation with the FTC and use our independent enforcement authority to ensure a thorough, swift and just resolution of the numerous complaints against T-Mobile."
The allegations arrive as T-Mobile is attempting to distance itself from its competitors with its selection of "Uncarrier" wireless plans aimed at eliminating contracts. Last week, the company introduced free music streaming and the ability to try a new iPhone for free.
The alleged practices began before current CEO Legere took the job in September 2012, but continued, as reported, under his watch throughout 2013. During its "Uncarrier" push, Legere has been on the offensive about wireless rivals loading up customers with restrictive contracts and high fees.
Legere said that "T-Mobile is fighting harder than any of the carriers to change the way the wireless industry operates, and we are disappointed that the FTC has chosen to file this action against the most pro-consumer company in the industry rather than the real bad actors."
T-Mobile now has procedures in place to protect consumers from unauthorized charges, Legere said. "Unfortunately, not all of these third-party providers acted responsibly — an issue the entire industry faced," he said. "We believe those providers should be held accountable, and the FTC's lawsuit seeking to hold T-Mobile responsible for their acts is not only factually and legally unfounded, but also misdirected."
T-Mobile has also been the subject of merger talks with fellow wireless carrier Sprint, which did not comment on the FTC announcement. The merger is reportedly worth as much as $50 billion.
The FTC's Rich said that the agency's goal is to get the court to require T-Mobile to repay fees collected under unauthorized practices. She suggested that consumers "should read their bills closely, and they should quickly contact any carrier when they see any unauthorized charges on it and do so quickly in case there is a window of time ... when they can get their money back."
Some carriers also let consumers block all third-party charges, another way to protect against fraud, Rich said.

Fast Fun Racer or Getaway Weekend Cruiser
Its hard to imagine that a modern 27 foot sailboat with a classic look, superb stability, and easy to manage rig is such a fast boat. 123-126 PHRF. No longer do you have to substitute speed for comfort, or own separate boats for racing and cruising. The 8' long cockpit seats 4 to 5 comfortably. Below deck you can sleep 5. And with head and stove, the J/27 is the perfect weekend cruiser.
Fun and Fast. There are some impressive victories to back this up, but that doesn't tell the whole story. The J/27 is fun and responsive. Nothing is more exhilarating than popping the J/27's kite in a good breeze for a downhill sleigh ride. 15+ knots planing off the wave-tops is easy. And most importantly, this off-wind speed doesn't sacrifice upwind performance. Going to windward in the J/27 is a dream, it has the solid, balanced "feel" of a traditional keelboat. The J/27 points higher and goes faster than many 30-35 footers!
One-Design Racing. Even more fun is sailing a one-design race around the buoys. The J/27's close-windedness makes it very tactical, as even 5 degree wind shifts bring significant gains. Then off wind, you quickly learn to play gibe angles as the boat's acceleration gains you valuable ground on the competition. The J/27 is remarkably agile and responsive in lighter winds, which is unusual for a boat that feels so solid.
All-Day Comfort. Sailing past larger boats is always satisfying... especially when it's effortless and you can't be written off as being wet and uncomfortable. Design is the difference. It's all done from a cockpit which holds several people more than is possible on other 27-footers. Correctly angled backrests and decks at elbow level provide restful and secure seating. Harken mainsheet, vang, traveler, and backstay systems; four Barient winches; a beautiful double spreader, tapered, fractional rig spar by Hall . . . make control and adjustment easy for crew members no matter what the wind.
Get-away Weekend Cruiser. Take a break from the pace of life on land and spend time with family and friends sailing the J/27. It's a fun boat to sail, so everyone becomes involved. The visibility, when steering with a responsive tiller gives the inexperienced that sense of control not found when spinning a tiny wheel on small cruisers with large trunk cabins.
The J/27 has a comfortable, open interior in teak with off-white surfaces. A main structural fiberglass bulkhead with oval opening separates the spacious double V-berth and head area from the main cabin. The main settee berth converts to a double. Aft of the galley to starboard is a comfortable quarter berth. Enough room below for a family of four or a couple for a nice weekend romp to your favorite sailing anchorage.
Durable and Stable. The J/27's secure big boat feel is created by concentrating 1530 pounds of lead very low in the keel while using high strength to eight ratio laminates in the hull. Unidirectional E-glass on either side of pre-sealed Baltek CK57 aircraft grade, Lloyd's approved, end grain balsa sandwich construction means superior torsion and impact resistance. Light ends, low freeboard, and the low center of gravity of a lead keel coupled with low wetted surface and a generous sailplan of 362 sq. ft. achieves exceptional sail area and stability relative to displacement. Hence, sparkling performance in both light and heavy air...something that doesn't happen with iron keels and box-like hulls.
Strong Class Strict Rules. The J/27 Class Association, owner driven and over 190 boats strong, sail in North American, Midwinter, and Regional championships. A superb J/27 Class Newsletter keeps you up-to-date on Class activities, latest results, maintenance tips, cruising points of interest, and "go-fasts". And the J/27 Class Rules have sail limitations to help insure equal performance and resale value. The Class supports both the active racer and cruising sailor in addition to fleets throughout the U.S.

text: GDI performance loss is becoming a much more common maintenance issue on a lot of newer vehicles. To the customer, it is a mysterious problem and most people do not even know it exists. Some vehicles owner don't know they even own a GDI vehicle in the first place so the purpose of this video blog is to focus on educating our customers on what this maintenance service is, why it is recommended and how often you may need it. GDI stands for Gasoline Direct Injection. It is a service designed to keep your vehicles power and maintain fuel efficiency. It is recommended if you are experiencing any loss of power, loss of gas mileage and is recommended as a maintenance service every 15,000 miles on the newer GDI vehicles.  The service will help with the following; ⦁    Restores performance ⦁    Restores fuel efficiency ⦁    Restores power ⦁    Reduces harmful emissions To break down the process we had Greg Kamrath from BG Kenz and Leslie help explain in a little more detail; https://youtu.be/Nb9o2eG8XTc We spray chemicals down the throttle body cleaning throttle plate and intake runners and also soaking the back of the intake valves which slowly breaks down the deposits and restores the airflow and performance to the engine. The chemicals will continue to clean for 2 to 3 drive cycles after the service. We did the service on a Ford f150 and documented it so you can see the overall process.  Here is our Master Tech from our Happy Valley store, Mike Reynolds to explain more; Step 1 of the process is spraying 2 cans of GDI Valve cleaner (PN 260). At this stage, we are still running off the fuel and adding the cleaner into the combustion chamber. https://youtu.be/gQEuM18Zmkw Step 2 uses 1 can of Injection and combustion cleaner (PN 201). At this stage of the service we are now running off the cleaner only. https://youtu.be/gJF_hJkR6wE This whole service takes up to about an hour. On step 3, we take the vehicle on a test drive to notice the change that has happened. The performance will be back to new and it will also make a very significant change to your vehicles gas mileage. It will continue to clean for 2-3 more drive cycles after the service is done.  For more details, call into any of our seven valley wide locations and find out if this service is right for you.  For more about the products used through BG, please visit http://www.kenzandleslie.com/

Lenny Robinson, who may be better known as the mysterious Lamborghini Batman, brings joy to countless children each year when he goes to Virginia area hospitals in full Batman gear and visits with some very sick kids.
It's a great way to brighten their days, but one Chicago-area hospital abruptly cancelled Lenny's visit. Not cool.
Instead of a Lamborghini, Lenny is now traveling the country in an awesome Batmobile replica. The Robert H. Laurie Children's Hospital in Chicago cancelled the visit because they believed it could be upsetting to children and parents in the wake of the Colorado massacre.
Of course, Batman himself would have had nothing to do with the terrible shooting in Aurora. Lenny does not agree with the decision:
This senseless act of violence has nothing to do with the Warner Bros' Batman franchise. At the heart of the movie is a central heroic figure that gives hope. The shootings in Colorado was a tragic event, but will not stop me from portraying Batman. I will continue to portray this iconic superhero, giving courage to sick children around the world that need it most.
Hopefully other hospital's on Lenny's journey don't make the same decision. He's out there doing something great.

Home > Products > Core Crypto Toolkits > PKCS#11 Provider
One day before Christmas we have released new versions of our SSL/TLS library iSaSiLk and our XML Security Toolkit IAIK-XSECT!
IAIK-JCE 5.60 introduces a "subsidiary" provider as workaround for fixing a JDK JSSE MessageDigest Cloneable bug. IAIK [CP]AdES 2.4 fixes a bug in the AtsHashIndexv3 ASN.1 representation.
This product allows easy integration of smart cards, USB tokens and HSMs into Java™ applications. It provides a simple java.security.KeyStore view of these tokens and makes cryptographic operations of these devices accessible via the JCA/JCE framework. For the application, it is just like working with pure software crypto and file key stores. The library accesses the hardware tokens via the PKCS#11 API, also known as Cryptoki. Hence, it can work with any product which supports PKCS#11.
This package contains a provider implementation of the Java™ Cryptography Extension (JCE, specified by SUN). It is based on the IAIK PKCS#11 Wrapper and the IAIK-JCE. Thus, it supports Windows, Linux, MacOS and Solaris platform out of the box. Support for other platforms can be added easily, because the code of the underlying PKCS#11 Wrapper is available under an Apache-style license and can be ported with little effort. It is compatible with the Java™ 2 platform; this means, it runs on JDK 1.3 or later.
The IAIK JCE Provider for PKCS#11 provides cryptographic functionality, including hash functions, message authentication codes, symmetric, asymmetric, stream encryption, block encryption, key and certificate management. It makes most of the functionality of the PKCS#11 standard accessible to Java™ applications through the JCE API from SUN. This enables developers to use cryptographic hardware within their Java™ applications. Applications which are already based on a pure software implementation of the JCE API can use cryptographic hardware with little or no change of their existing applications.
All cryptographic tokens with PKCS#11 version 2.x compliant drivers can be used; this includes cryptographic smart cards and USB tokens as well as hardware security modules (HSMs). In particular, we tested with products from A.E.T., SUN, Utimaco, SafeNet, Mozilla, etc.
For people in hurry there is a quick start guide.
For detailed information on the IAIK JCE Provider for PKCS#11 see:
For the current price of the PKCS#11 Provider, please see the price list and license conditions.
The current version of this package is available from our webshop.

In a similar vein as biblequizzingwebsite.com, are ya'll aware of another mirror site, cu.nniling.us ? Telling domain name...ReplyDelete
mr. munroe sure likes cunnilingusReplyDelete
but this mystery has perplexed me more than all xkcds combined:

oh god goatkcd #714 is going to be even better than 713...it's like Randall is trying to make the best goatkcds that he possibly can.ReplyDelete
This seems like as good a time as any to link to The Bermuda Island II: The Mewtwo Boner Saga, my lemonfic-in-progress.ReplyDelete
More seriously, I'm not sure how queasy I am that the sexually ultra-fucked-up Randall, who seems to be a member of the Joss Whedon School of Feminism, has taken it upon himself to write "this is what the female perspective is." Minority Warrior shit.ReplyDelete

THIS IS A TOTALLY UNIQUE STATEMENT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER.ReplyDelete
yes, all caps was necessary. That's how awesome this strip was.
I feel as though randall missed that Pornography for Women is a joke book, so he just sounds like an unaware white knight.ReplyDelete
I... I liked today's xkcd. Does this make me a bad person?ReplyDelete
Kirk: It's not just Randall. EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the xkcd forums seems to have missed the fact that Porn for Women is a joke book. They're all talking about how the book plays into culutural stereotypes and how women should be empowered too and blah blah blah it is infuriating.ReplyDelete
Not to mention that probably 90% of them are dudes saying they're totally into feminism because they think it will impress chicks.
Oh yeah and
"Ha ha! The alt text mentioned a TV show of which I am also particularly fond! Mentioning things I like is the pinnacle of humor!"
- JimbobbowillyMarch 14, 2010 at 10:23 PM
Argh some things are just fucking obvious, Randall.ReplyDelete
If he was speaking about male sexuality, even if it wasn't from a position of any kind of authority, at least Randall would have SOME kind of relevant perspective. Why, then, does he instead feel his views on FEMALE sexuality are of any importance?ReplyDelete
From the forum:
"Loves me some feminist xkcd. Course, I'm not quite sure what it means that a male author is speaking up on behalf of women here."
Yea, pretty much.
- AnonymousMarch 14, 2010 at 11:49 PM
I don't read xkcdexplained because, like wikipedia, it's almost always inaccurate to the task of explanation. i.e. the source is usually wrong.ReplyDelete
The question is, why should anyone here read it?
Because it's entertaining? Who says we read it because it's informative? Xkcdexplained seems like a website similar to ours except that they don't rant (usually) about what makes the strip awful, they put a lot of effort in to trying to sound professional and explaining what the comic was about.ReplyDelete
Then, of course, you get into the snarky "man, Munroe's dicking around again, and here's what we have to say about his most recent shenanigans"

Altera Design Software
This tutorial shows how to install the following softwares form the Altera Design Software
- Quartus II (Web edition and Subscription Edition)
- USB-Blaster Driver
Quartus II
The following procedure shows how to install the 10.1 sp1 version of Quartus II
Quartus II is downloadable at: https://www.altera.com/download/software/quartus-ii-se Downloading Altera softwares requires registration. Once this is done, proceed with the download. There are three files to get
- Quartus II 10.1 base software
- Quartus II devices
- Quartus II 10.1 service pack 1
Make sure you get the GNU/Linux version!
Once you have downloaded the files, you can proceed with the installation
$ cd <Download-folder> $ sudo sh ./10.1_quartus_linux.sh
Executing this script should open a setup GUI. Just follow the instructions. For the purpose of this tutorial, I assume that you are installing Quartus II in the Template:Filename folder.
After the base software is installed, you should install devices related files and upgrade to the service pack 1.
$ sudo sh ./10.1_quartus_devices.sh $ sudo sh ./10.1_quartus_linux.sh
Quartus II requires libpng12 to work, which can be found in AUR.
$ wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpng12/libpng12.tar.gz $ tar -xaf libpng12.tar.gz $ cd libpng12 $ makepkg -i PKGBUILD
Trying to launch the software right now on a 64 bits system won't work. Quartus will complain that libpng12 does not have the right ELF class. This is because Quartus is launched in 32 bits mode by default. We need to add an environment variable to switch to 64 bits mode. Please, refer to the next section regarding this matter.
Integrating Quartus II with the system
Let's now add the Quartus bin folder to the Template:Codeline variable as well as select if we want to run it in 64 bits mode. Create a Template:Filename file in the Template:Filename directory
Other environment variables related to Quartus can be found in the official installation manual http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/quartus_install.pdf
And now you can try launching launching Quartus II
$ source /etc/profile.d/quartus.sh $ quartus
If this works, don't forget to logout/login for the change to have effect.
USB-Blaster Driver
The USB-Blaster is a cable that allows you to download configuration data from you computer to you FPGA, CPLD or EEPROM configuration device. However Altera only provides support for RedHat Entreprise, SUSE Entreprise and Cent OS and we are required to do a little bit of work to make it work with Archlinux. If you want some more detail about this cable, please refer to http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_usb_blstr.pdf
The JTAG server of Quartus II is responsible for communications using the USB-Blaster cable. The JTAG server (Template:Filename and Template:Filename) is searching for devices in Template:Filename and in the file Template:Filename. Using Archlinux, the former is located in Template:Filename and not Template:Filename and the latter does not exist unless Template:Codeline is mounted.
Since the search paths are hardcoded in the JTAG server, we need to patch it to make him search for devices in Template:Filename instead of Template:Filename.
For 32 bits systems:
$ sudo sed -i.bak 's/\/proc\/bus\/usb\/%03u\/%03u/\/dev\/bus\/usb\/%03u\/%03u\d0/g' /opt/altera/10.1/quartus/linux/jtagd
For 64 bits systems:
$ sudo sed -i.bak 's/\/proc\/bus\/usb\/%03u\/%03u/\/dev\/bus\/usb\/%03u\/%03u\d0/g' /opt/altera/10.1/quartus/linux64/jtagd #For 64 bits systems
Side by the patched JTAG server, a backup of the original one is created in Template:Filename.
Now we need to add one rule in the Template:Filename file: Template:File Then 'reload' that file using
$ sudo mount -a
and now you should have a Template:Filename file
$ ls -l /proc/bus/usb/devices i-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 10 19:05 /proc/bus/usb/devices
Now to check that the JTAG server has been properly patched and that everything is working, plug your FPGA or CPLD board using your USB-Blaster cable and run
$ sudo /opt/altera/10.1/quartus/bin/jtagconfig
You should have an output similar to this one
1) USB-Blaster [USB 1-1.1] 020B30DD EP2C15/20
In this example I have a board using a serial EEPROM to retain the FPGA configuration.
There is still one last thing to do: give write access to casual users, not only the root. We can add a simple Template:Codeline rule. Template:File
Let's now make a final check by relaunching Template:Filename after having reloaded the udev rules.
$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules $ jtagconfig

The Moeck 1020 Soprano Recorder is a great instrument for beginners. Children often forget to take right care of their instruments. On a fully wooden recorder, the head piece is the most venerable part and must be dealt with great care. Moeck have developed the 1020 Soprano Recorder has designed this to eliminate this. The head joint is of high quality plastic, while the lower joint is made of fine spruce. This give the recorder a soft fine sound. An amazing combination of modern and traditional design makes this a unique product, and is amazing for children and beginner recorder players.
The main features of the Moeck 1020 Soprano Recorder include:

McCoughtry scores 23 to lead Dream past Storm
ATLANTA (AP) -- Angel McCoughtry didn't want the Atlanta Dream to slow down without Sancho Lyttle on the floor.
''We played Dream basketball, forcing turnovers, contesting shots and running our offense up-tempo,'' McCoughtry said. ''Sancho is a great player, but while she's gone, other people have a chance to step up.''
McCoughtry scored 23 points and Jasmine Thomas added 13 to lead the Dream over the Seattle Storm 68-59 on Friday night.
McCoughtry, last season's leading scorer in the WNBA, also had team highs with nine rebounds, seven assists and five steals to help as the Dream improve to 5-1.
Tina Thompson and Temeka Johnson scored 11 points apiece for the Storm, who dropped to 1-3.
The Dream played the first of six games without Lyttle, their leading rebounder and second-leading scorer this season. With Lyttle playing overseas for Spain's national team, Le'Coe Willingham started in her place and went scoreless but did haul in eight rebounds.
Lyttle is expected to return before a July 9 game against Minnesota. Her absence gave Atlanta coach Fred Williams a chance to give additional minutes to Tiffany Hayes, Aneika Henry and Willingham, a trio that lacked offensively, but did a good job stepping in Seattle's passing lanes and disrupting their offense.
''Getting more subs in, more fresh legs in (is important),'' Williams said. ''Offensively we got some things off the boards, some putbacks, and we had a few more set plays when things kind of slowed down.''
Seattle, the league's lowest-scoring team, managed just four points in the third quarter - coming on two baskets by Johnson - and trailed by 16 before an 11-1 run pulled them to 58-52 on Camille Little's layup midway through the fourth.
But that was as close as the Storm would get. Erika De Souza stole the ball from Tanisha Wright a few minutes later and passed it upcourt to McCoughtry for a fast-break layup and a 10-point lead.
''We just have to be aggressive,'' Johnson said. ''Take what we want, not what people give us. And have the taking mentality in the third quarter.''
Williams could tell in the first 4 minutes of the third that his team was ready to take control of the tempo.
''I told them in the huddle to come out on fire,'' Williams said, ''to get in the passing lanes and gamble for some buckets.''
Alex Bentley added 11 points for Atlanta, which leads the league in team defense, allowing 68.7 points per game.
The Storm used a 17-3 run in the first, ending on Shekinna Stricklen's layup, to take a 19-13 lead in the last 2 minutes of the quarter.
Seattle either led or tied for most of the second before McCoughtry stole the ball from Wright with 2.9 seconds before halftime and hit a layup at the buzzer to put Atlanta up 38-35.
The Storm, coming off a nine-point home loss last week to Tulsa in which they went 0 for 17 from 3-point range, hit seven of 19 attempts - but Thompson and Stricklen were a combined 1 for 8 from beyond the arc.
''We're going to have to just keep fighting,'' Thompson said. ''We're not going to give in. Just going to keep fighting. Keep working, getting better, executing. I think that if we continue to focus on that then we'll be OK.''
McCoughtry promised to keep her teammates from falling into a collective funk without Lyttle.
''This is a good team, but we can get a lot better,'' McCoughtry said. ''There's a lot of stuff to clean up, but we're off to a pretty good start.''

A wireless router really isn't a very exciting thing. That is unless it has been put together by Apple. The new Airport Express is designed to look as good as your living room, and throw in a bit of extra Apple functionality you wouldn't normally get with a router.
Can Apple's reputation for ease of use translate over to the world of Wi-Fi? Will the day have finally come when we can get a stable and secure wireless connection at home that we can access in every room?
The Airport Express is a lot smaller than you think. It is just 98mm x 98mm x 23mm in size and weighs 240grams. This makes it a very unobtrusive little white box in your living room which is exactly what a router should be. Even if you are forced to place the thing in a where position it might be spotted, it still looks great with a white matte Apple logo on the top.
Think of it essentially as a white version of the Apple TV in terms of design, but with more rounded edges. As for connections, on the back of the Airport Express is a power cable, ethernet WAN port, ethernet LAN port and a USB port. There is also an analogue and optical audio output jack: this is used for the Airplay functionality we will talk about later.
Other than that, there is a simple status light on the front of the Airport Express. No complex array of lights and symbols, just one simple light. Some might find this annoying, but for us it's a relief. When the Airport Express does have issues, everything can be managed from either your iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC.
Here is where the Airport Express gets really interesting. You can setup the box using an iPad or iPhone as well as by conventional means. This is something we have never seen before and makes the Airport Express into a very simple object to use.
Say you are the sort of person who has just bought an iPad but has no wireless internet at home, this is the perfect box to change that. It is such a simple set-up process that we can't see anyone, even the most computer illiterate, having problems with it.
All you need do is go in to the Wi-Fi settings on your iOS device, go to your Airport station, hit create a new network and that's it, everything works. In fact it is so much more straightforward we suggest using your iPad or iPhone over the Airport utility for Mac or PC. Multiple stations, linked up to an AirPort Extreme for example, can also be seen and managed using the iOS app. In fact you could run a pretty complex network from it.
We were having major issues getting Wi-Fi reception in our bedroom, so connected the Airport Express to a Time Capsule, the base network in our living room. This turned the Express into a simple network repeater but still allowed us to access our Time Capsule media.
The AirPlay functionality is also very easy to set up. We plugged a set of speakers into the back which then gave us access to all the music on our 3TB Time Capsule. The upshot is, we can play any songs we fancy in any room with a set of speakers and an AirPort Express. For those considering a Sonos multi-room system, it might be a better option to go for something like the AirPort Express, especially given it will boost your Wi-Fi signal whatever room it is placed in.
Also included is wireless printing, which is what the USB port on the back of the Express is for. Again set-up was simple, connecting a printer via USB and then sending whatever you want to it via AirPrint. This means you can print from things like an iPad or iPhone as well as a computer.
Connections and security
The AirPort Express wouldn't be much of a router if it wasn't secure. Thankfully it is. Apple has done plenty of work with Mountain Lion getting security up to scratch and this clearly has played a part in the thinking behind the new Express. A built-in firewall is turned on from the get-go to keep things as secure as possible.
We particularly like the ability of the Express to simulcast 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It means just about every single electronic device you own will be able to get the best possible connection, including of course iPads and iPhones. It might seem like a minor point, but you will notice it particularly with 5GHz n-type Wi-Fi compatible devices.
One final way of connecting to the Express, designed for guests, is to create a separate network with no access to anything other than the internet. Useful if you run a small business and plan on having the Airport Express as a router.
We can't really fault the Airport Express. In the end it's just a router. Even then Apple has managed to make something of beauty, turning the most boring piece of technology into a well-designed and easy to use advice.
It gets rid of all of the complexity of setting up a wireless network at home and comes with added functions such as AirPlay and wireless printing. A definite buy for us. Good enough as a router for your whole house, even better as a means to extend your wireless network. Pair it up with a Time Capsule and iTunes match and you have one of the best and simplest wireless home media setups we can think of.

Frequently Asked Living Room Rug Questions
Living Room Rugs by Ashley Furniture HomeStore
Bring your living room decor to new heights with the simple addition of an area rug. Who knew that one little tweak could produce such stunning results? Living room rugs are undeniably one of the easiest ways to inject bold color and new life into your space—and not to mention ultimate coziness.
You'll love how adding something as effortlessly simple as a rug will tie your whole living room decor together. From area rugs small to large, or refined to eccentric, there's no telling what design steal you'll discover at Ashley HomeStore. With our variety of styles, shapes and sizes, finding that perfect finishing piece is guaranteed to be a breeze.
Where Should I Place an Area Rug in My Living Room?
Living room rug placement actually isn't as tricky as it seems. A popular, no-fail choice to set a living room area rug is under the coffee table. Since it's more than likely the central spot of your living room, it makes the most sense to place living room rugs where they will be most easily seen and where they will get the most foot traffic. Just remember to add a rug pad for safety and you should be all set.
A styling tip that's recommended by most interior design professionals is to go large when it comes to living room rugs. Set it under the coffee table, but make sure that the rug touches all the other main pieces of furniture in the room, such as the TV stand, sofa and end tables. Going with a larger area rug in the living room will help visually expand the space, instead of blocking off space like a smaller area rug may do.
What Are the Different Area Rug Sizes Available?
Whether you have a small studio space in the city or a large home in the suburbs, we have all kinds of area rug sizes available to fit your space seamlessly. In a smaller space, an area rug such as a 5' X 8' may be the most suitable fit. In more spacious rooms, large area rugs up to 9' X 12' might be the ideal choice.
No matter your living room decor needs, we have tons of living room rug sizes to choose from, so your next home decor decision will feel like a custom made fit.
How to Match an Area Rug's Material and Style With My Living Room?
Choosing a large investment piece like a living room rug can be a little daunting, but picking the right area rug to match your living room decor isn't nearly as difficult as it seems.
When it comes to materials, think of your lifestyle. If you have pets that shed, then perhaps a shaggy area rug won't fare well (just think of all that clean-up). If you have young children, perhaps a plush-texture area rug would be a better choice than a flatweave rug over hardwood floors.
As far as style goes, we recommend looking to the colors and general vibe of your existing home decor. Just from the color palette alone, it should become easier to deduce which style best matches your living room. For example, if your space is filled with light neutrals, you may have an affinity to minimalist styling, which means you may find our selection of modern living room rugs particularly appealing.

THE WORK: See
Tim Hodgkinson's first major project after Henry Cow with Bill Gilonis, Mick Hobbs & Rick Wilson. See was the third and last record the band released before it broke up, and was continuing to evolve, becoming more subtle, complex and rounded than the earlier albums, though still packing a mighty punch. There's nothing polite about this record and no other group ever attempted to occupy this territory. See is extremely appropriately recorded and is constantly in your face with powerful rhythmic tension and a brilliant use of electronic detail. Melody is used as a subversive weapon in a spiky but coherent universe of sound. The layers stay apart but work together. It's a classic.L.
