I wouldnt put bigger tires on the back.. It'll bind in 4x4 and on snow the back will be going faster than the front...it will drift like a rwd. But you could adjust the rear suspension up to give it a rake..
Posted 31 August 2012 - 11:57 AM
I'm not really interested in taking it out and using it specifically for 4 wheel drive. not a 4x4 guy at all. I think it's a convenient option though to have on a car. In all honesty I'll probably just lower it slightly all the way around.
Will post update soon.

Been 5 or so months, been parked in a garage since ive been out of town playing deep sea diver.
weber carb probably installing tonight!
Also swapped seats for a better pair, others had been covered in battery acid

okay, went ahead with the swap, was pretty straight forward and simple. I didn't want to spend the $314 on a kit.
I bought a Weber at the pdx swap meet for $100 adapter for $50 from carbsunlimited and a filter and housing for $19 on ebay from some shop in albany OR.
the only hang up I'm having is what to do with the
"anti dieseling switch" that screws into the old hitachi.
Also what have you guys been using for PCV filters?
Edited by Reza, 13 April 2013 - 10:28 AM.
Posted 19 April 2013 - 05:00 PM
OK so its ready to roll,
got the weber tuned-
got pcv filters and all the emissions capped off
changed rear oil seal on the transmission
replaced a bad rear tire
clutch was seized to the flywheel from sitting, got it unstuck by starting it in 1st gear.
will post pictures later, getting stoked on it again, but Ill be flying to sweden monday for work, so it will have to sit for another 6 weeks.
The 5/8ths PCV 3 bucks at costless
used to original throttle lever, just needed to add a spacer to the stem for clearance.

Posted 20 April 2013 - 03:42 PM
Took it on a test drive, Weber purrrs. It has a whole new sound and feel to it. way more response.
Next up, swapping a front right cv axle, solder a pinhole in the radiator that developed while sitting.
and PORT AND POLISH a pair of heads.
Update: drove it 10 miles to the other side of town today, no problems what so ever, guess i tuned the carb right the first time. It is a lot sportier than I expected with single muffler exhaust and new weber. so fun.

So I've been in Sweden the last month, still going to be here another 2 weeks.
I saw pooparu listed a set of 8 spoke enkei wheels, I'm definitely going to be going that route. need to find 13s
Looking for some gen1 headrests for the jump seats
replacing the transmission mounts - bought off rock auto #1040894
replacing the front valance with a cherry one I bought at a picknpull
It has positive camber right now, going to fix that. guess how?
Posted 16 June 2013 - 07:20 PM
Found a 1981 ea81 Brat on row52.com so I drove 327 miles and 6 hours to santa rosa CA to pull some parts. Got a set of jumpseat seat belts and a seat frame. Missed out on the headrests. Car is still there has a good canopy top. windsor ca. picknpull.
Posted 17 June 2013 - 10:01 AM
Wondered where you had been.
I am about to purchase a Weber, can you provide more detail on the setup, the tuning and cap off of emissions? Are those simply crankcase breathers on your valve covers?
Posted 17 June 2013 - 09:08 PM
Yeah, I have been very busy with work, from the east coast to sweden, to monteray CA now. In between time I've had good time to wrench. The weber swap was the easiest automotive thing I've done. I capped off everything and used breathers on my valve covers. just dive in, you'll have no trouble. Im going to get the 91 s10 air filter housing and weber adapter to route cool air into the intake. if you have any specific questions give me a pm and ill get back to you

France coach Philippe Saint-Andre expects his team to be fully stretched by a steely Argentina in tomorrow's rugby test, even after making a statement by thrashing Australia 33-6.
France recorded their biggest win against the Wallabies since 1976 last weekend. But Argentina showed they had learned much from their debut in the expanded Rugby Championship by beating Six Nations champ Wales 26-12 for only the second time in Cardiff.
"The Argentines were pretty impressive in Cardiff," Saint-Andre said after making only one change from the team that routed Australia. "They gave the Welsh a rugby lesson in the second half. They scored two textbook tries.
"It's down to us to play to our strengths, to show the same intensity and speed as we did last week. We did a lot of work on our reactivity, our speed, in Tuesday's training session and we were more than pleasantly surprised."
Lock Yoann Maestri has returned from a back injury to replace Jocelino Suta in the only change to the team that dominated the Wallabies with first five-eighths Frederic Michalak orchestrating the win and No8 Louis Picamoles scoring a try to cap dominance in the pack.
"We went for continuity, we don't have much time [to prepare matches]," Saint-Andre said. "We don't want to change the spine of the team for this crucial match. We tried to keep the same balance."
Argentina have made three changes, one of them enforced because veteran centre Felipe Contepomi is out with a long-term knee injury.
Saint-Andre played down the growing expectations surrounding Michalak, who was for so long out of the side under former coach Marc Lievremont.
"You shouldn't put too much pressure on the first five-eighths position," Saint-Andre said. "I wanted to keep Michalak in the team. He played very well last week."
The victory against Australia moved France up one place in the rankings from fifth to provisional fourth and increased their chances of being among the top four seeds for the 2015 World Cup when the draw is made next month, thus avoiding the Southern Hemisphere favourites in the group stage.
Argentina have won four of the last seven meetings between the sides, including two wins at the 2007 World Cup.
France faced the Pumas twice in June, losing the first test 23-20 in Cordoba and winning the second 49-10 in Tucuman.
"They are very tough to play against, in all of the rucks. They've also grown in maturity as an attacking team," Saint-Andre said. "They will cause us different types of problems than Australia did. The Argentines know us well, a lot of them play in the Top 14."
Pumas coach Santiago Phelan made three changes in the backs and one tactical switch in the forwards.
Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino comes in at fullback for Juan Martin Hernandez, Horacio Agulla replaces Gonzalo Camacho at right wing, and Marcelo Bosch steps in for Contepomi at inside centre.
Contepomi lasted less than a quarter after damaging knee ligaments in a ruck. He hopes to play again in February and says he isn't ending an international career dating to 1998. If he can play club rugby, he says, he's always available for the Pumas.
"It was a bad injury but it could have been worse. I did my posterior cruciate ligament but at least there's no surgery required," Contepomi said.
"I'll be out for three or four months, and hopefully in February or March I'll come back. Hopefully I'll play for the last third of the season for Stade Francais."
Leonardo Senatore is at No8 and captain Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe switches to flanker, in a role reversal from last week.
The match will be at Lille's gleaming 50,000-seat Grand Stade, which was opened in August and is home to Lille's soccer team.
"Apparently it's a great atmosphere when the roof is closed," Saint-Andre said.

Randy Moss said yesterday he thought he was the greatest receiver in league history.
Then the 49ers receiver said it again today, though he went on at length about how much respect he has for Jerry Rice.
But after the first volley, Rice himself admitted he was surprised to hear Moss say it.
"I'm very surprised Randy Moss used that in those words, that he's the greatest," Rice said on ESPN's NFL Live, via Yahoo Sports. "You'd never hear me say I'm the greatest football player to ever play the game. I let my body of work speak for itself, and I think I was able to be very productive on the football field."
Moss's larger point was that he considered his ability to knock the top off a defense with his deep ball ability more of a game-changer, saying he wasn't as concerned about stats (of which Rice has more).
"You have to look at the stats, you have to look at how you impacted the game, and it's all about winning this right here, this is it, the Super Bowl, and I was fortunate to win three," Rice said. "Randy he finally has a chance to prove himself this weekend, and I wish him the best."
Moss is entitled to his confidence, and after watching two day's worth of press conferences, my wish is that he'd talk more often, because he can be insightful.
But flaps such as this, and the inevitable blowback, will probably, sadly, drive Moss back into his shell.

As workers clear out Holt Jr. High School and Dimondale Elementary school of asbestos, the Dept. of Consumer Industry Services is trying to find out if the cancer-causing minerals are in any more of the district's buildings.
"That's part of our investigation: to look into the initial plan what it is based on and what they found," Martha Yoder, Bureau of Safety & Regulation.
The Holt Public School District will not name which engineering firm was hired to inspect the buildings in 1988, but they have a plan in place should further investigations find the substance in other schools.
"We do have asbestos in our older buildings. Sometimes we encapsulate it, but we've chosen to remove it," Scott Szpara, Holt Public Schools.
As the Dept. of Consumer Industry Services continues to investigate the engineering company, they'll be looking into the possibility of any wrongdoing.
"It's a matter to see what exactly was analyzed but they should check all that to see if it was identified," John Peck, Consumer Industry Services.
"Based on that report, they indicated that they may put fines against the engineering firm and not us," said Szpara.
Asbestos only becomes a health hazard if fibers separate, become airborne and are inhaled. If people inhale them, they become susceptible to asbestos-related illnesses, including cancer. If the asbestos materials remain intact, it should not pose a health risk.

Unless they are running puppy linux. My dogs love the big white drinking fountain.
You missed the Idiocracy [imdb.com] reference. For background, the idiots of the future were trying to grow plants with Brawndo (an in-universe ripoff of Gatorade/other sports drinks), because it has replaced water in people's diets, and they can't think of using water for anything but flushing a toilet.
Plants didn't take to it much better than your pipes would.
Just google it, if ya' know what I mean.
I...I am not even sure what say to that...
Strange but true: If you use water blocks to cool a server, the cdrom eject button pokes out an extra 1/4 inch due to the cooling effect. Of course I haven't seen a new rackmount box with an internal cdrom in some years, so I guess this only applies to racks that are sagging with age (ugh)
For a second there I thought you were being serious, then I read the second sentence and got the joke.
It's the juxtaposition of "water that has been through the bathrooms and toilets" and "wet T-shirt" that gives me a mental image I didn't need.
And yes, I'm sure there's a rule 34 for that too, and I do not want to know.

What if it's a genuine 19" rack?
Well it's quite simple
1 - dress a wet t-shirt
2 - go outside (preferably if you live in NYC on the month of January)
3 - tah dah!
Now, seriously, this effect can be more easily felt for example if you drop ethanol (pure or moderately diluted - most spirits will do) in your hand, and you feel it cool.
Volatile substances (water is volatile but not as much as other substances) cool the substances they are in contact with when they evaporate (so what's cooled is usually the amount of liquid that hasn't evaporated

Apparently evaporation is the tendency for young women on spring break to get drunk and engage in civil disobedience of public indecency laws. Somehow, this is related to cooling.
It has a chilling effect on the nation's moral fibre.

Hence the saying "all the cool kids do it".
Engineers have been considering approaches like this for ages. It's good to see it being put into practice.
As best I can tell, one of the biggest hurdles is local waste-handling laws. When we had a local drought a few years ago, we were saving wash water to put on our outdoor plants -- but that was a violation of local policy, because cooties from your dirty clothes might get into The Environment, contaminating all the bird and squirrel and cat and dog waste that's already there.
I'm sure Google's treatment policies have satisfied the local authorities, and if they're proceeding with the project, I'm sure they've found a way that's cost-effective.
I am afraid that my opinion of the IQ of the average
" water gets pumped through them and all the muck gets extracted, not the sort of filters that IT people know about. "
No that's pretty close to how firewalls work.
OT but possibly of interest: the daughter of a friend of ours studied environmental biology at university. Her mother wondered what use it could possibly be. As a researcher into water treatment, she is now into her second paid postgraduate placement with the prospect of a very well paid international job at the end of it. Oil may be sexier, but water is actually the more important resource.
"My experience of firewalls and water treatment is this: that water treatment is designed and operated by some extremely professional people who know exactly what they are doing, and that this is not often the case for firewalls. "
I used to work in the world of Water Treatment. No, they are not "extremely professional people who know exactly what they are doing" I was one of those guys for over 7 years. Many times we just would crank in more Chlorine or Alum to see if it worked.
My experience of firewalls and water treatment is this:
Mine is that the water puts the fire out.
water treatment is designed and operated by some extremely professional people
But it only takes one extremely incompetent one to bugger it all up. [wikipedia.org]
But normally you don't use the sieve type of filters. Sieves tend to get clogged very easily. Normally you use a three-chamber-system. The first two chambers are connected near the bottom, the third one connects to the second chamber via a spillover. Untreated water enters the first chamber, and all swimming particles stay there. Heavier particles sink to the bottom. The water enters the second chamber via the connection and is mainly clean of any swimming particles, while still containing some heavier soli
Have you ever stopped to think about the amount of mud in a water reservoir after the wind and rain have whipped it up a bit? Doesn't get in your drinking water, does it?
An almost miniscule portion of said mud does so - because the designers of such reservoirs aren't stupid and place the intakes well away from the shores/edges and inflows, where 99.9999% of such debris is. Not to mention you vastly overestimate the amount of mud and debris "whipped up" in the first place.
I am afraid that my opinion
Kirk: The cooling system to the warp drive is down again Scotty. How soon can you fix it?
Scotty: Ach Jim, I'm a warp drive engineer, not a plumber....
I'm no potty expert, but I thought that water that is output from a toilet is called black water, water collected from the bathtub, and kitchen are called grey water, and what they are actually using is called treated water.
Am I just behind the times on the terminology or is the article's writer just being sloppy?
The writer is being sloppy (or confused).
Correct. They are using treated water, which is neither Black nor Grey water.
Pooping in the sink,
pooping in the sink,
I'm clogging up their coolers
'cause I'm pooping in the sink!
They need to stop the free soda and lemonade bar.
What comes from toilets is 'black water [wikipedia.org]', but 'grey water'. Grey comes from showers, washing machines, etc. It's specifically that which has been used, but has a low risk of pathogens in it.
From the article, it sounds like they're using a blend of the two
The article makes it sound like they're getting the water *before* it would have been cleaned by the water treatment plant
So it's treated wastewater, which would've already gone through some sort of system to remove pathogens.
There's a park I've been to a few times and it has a beach.
The park also has a water treatment plant in its midst that discharges into the waters of the beach area.
I got to talking with one of the park rangers and he told me he wouldn't let his dog swim in that water.
"Treated" doesn't necessarily mean what we think it means. It isn't sterile and you shouldn't let it get into any mucous membranes or open wounds.
Usually "gray" water is water from showers, sinks, etc. -- everything but toilets. Water from toilets, including human wastes, is called "black" water. Some systems keep these separate, although most municipal systems (including, it appears, Douglas County, Georgia) mix them together. So this water starts out as "black", but according to TFA, it's partially cleaned up before being sent to the data center. Apparently it's treated enough to be called "gray", but still isn't potable. Then Google finishes the water treatment and releases the result into the river which is where it would have gone after the county treatment center anyway.
Garbage in, Garbage out?
Let me guess.
The servers are all going to overheat on Seis de Mayo. All the spicy food the day before will be warming up the cooling water.
until the shit hits the fan...
They're not using greywater. Greywater is untreated non-human-waste water, like from sinks and showers. Google is using the water which has already been treated by the waste water treatment plant and would otherwise be delivered back to a river. It's not pure enough to drink, but it isn't bathwater. It's purity is somewhere in between tap water and river water, with almost zero "floaties".
But yay poop jokes. Who knew
That is a great idea. I don't live somewhere with a water scarcity problem (I don't even have a water-saving washing machine), but that is a good idea.
Flush the queue!
There are small systems that can produce recyclable water even for single family homes. The National Sanitation Foundation now has NSF Standard 350 so manufacturers can test to a protocol and become certified. The water can be used (depending on state code) to fill toilets, urinals, water the lawn, wash your car, lots of non potable uses. Right now there is only one device certified, the Bio-Microbics Bio-Barrier http://www.biomicrobics.com/?p=59 [biomicrobics.com] However several other manufacturers are now testing. Recycled
...but a giant floating corncob.
I have to admit I had to read the TFA in order to understand how the hell this system works.
So they use open circuit cooling towers with cleanish water coming from a sewage treatment plant.
Those wet cooling towers are known for being prone to Legionellosis, even when clean water is used.
This problem probably becomes worse with dirty water.
I wouldn't like to be the technician cleaning and repairing those towers.

Thanks to December for her help with the questions!
1. Why is Edward now willing to change Bella into a vampire (provided she marries him) after being dead set against it for so long?
2. Why is it still so important to him that she marry him before he changes her? Is there more to this than a strategy to delay her?
3. Why is Bella so panicked at the thought of marrying Edward? Is there more to her reaction than she is saying? Does she actually understand her own reasons completely?
4. After the epiphanies of NM, how could Edward still imagine being immortal was more important to Bella than her love for him?
5. Edward says that changing Bella is the most selfish thing he will ever do. Why is he nevertheless prepared to do it? Is this morally weak of him?

Ran 7.1 miles @ 7:40/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Slightly hilly.
20 degrees, overcast.
Overcast skies today, but slightly warmer and little wind. Definitely a big break from how it's been much of this week. Set out at an easy pace. Felt somewhat labored, but I think that's mostly from a poor diet the past day or so. Much healthier eating in the days to come for sure. Other than that, the run was pretty uneventful, which isn't to say it wasn't enjoyable.

i think the best thing to do is restructure Nnamdi because if we cut him we have to pay him 4mill, he will signed with another team for about 8-10mill a year and that will get him his 12-14mill monet back anyways.
so simply restructure.
as for Vick, i believe we should do the same thing, we'll see after this game in Tampa if Foles is the guy we want to hand the keys to because for some reason after Vick and McCoy went down we started running the ball alot. in my opinion that is to hide Foles but the Bucks has the top run D in the NFL and a bad pass D, so this is his game to show us what hes made of.

totally disagree about Vick. he needs to go. i didn't like the move of bringing him in in the first place.
he's just not good enough. period. he doesn't pick up blitzes, his audible selection is poor at best, he's inaccurate, he tries to make the big play too much instead of simply throwing the ball away or getting down, and he'll never give you a full season, so all of his spectacular plays go out the window anyway.
he needs to go. this team needs to rebuild at that position in a bad way. i say use Foles, see what he's got. at worst, he's a stop gap, they have a bad season or two, and they get in position to draft someone like Johnny Football down the line.
Your forgetting Shady's contract and Djaxs goes up next year too because of the extension we gave em.
Vick - 18m - good but gone
Bell - 9.6m - good but gone
Babin - 4.4m - already gone
Jenkins - 5.5m - who knows
Nnamdi Aso - 15.3 - actually works out to be a 4 million cap hit
Patterson - 4m - who knows
You haven't factored in the dead money which counts against the cap too, for instance if we cut Nnamdi ~4M is dead money. So essentially were clearing 11M in cap not the full 15.3. Same with Babin ~1M of his contract is dead money if cut so we only clear around 3M. Vick if cut ~7M is dead money which counts against the cap so only ~10M is saved.
Click on the players name and it'll give you a full breakdown of the players contract.
i just dont think you're reading what im writing lol....
if you all remember ive been posting Bryce's www.eaglescap.com website for quite some time...ive even calculated some of the indepth contract terms with and for him. We have been emailing and go through an annual check list each year...
but its all good man i understand what your attempting to say..i just dont think you have read past posts of mine possibly. all good regardless
I mean its all speculation still but this is how it SHOULD work out.
For Vick his 2013 hit on the cap is 17.9 if we cut him prior to the the first day of the NFL season which is usually right after the Super Bowl this year that deadline is FEb 6th. So 3 days after the Super Bowl, he needs to be CUT / RELEASED before that date. As long as he is then as per his contract we owe him ZIP...we hav eno financial obligation to him at all and his contract will come off our salary cap.
Now if we keep Vick after that day, we pretty much can say were either sticking with him, or paying 3 million dollars to try to "trade" an overpaid QB. Which I dont see happening at all. He will be cut / released directly after the Super Bowl. Saving us around 17.9 million (what we project).
For Nnamdi when we signed him since we gave him a 9 million dollar roster bonus to sign the way the contract was set up is after this year there are "loop holes" we can get out of. Regardless his cap hit will still be 4 million dollars, that money will go aginst the cap even if we cut him or not. So of his 15 million 2013 salary we would only save 11 million by cutting him. You and I may think thats alot of money, but EATING 4 MILLION is what the owners and FO see. I truley think BUSINESS WISE Nnamdi is back next year regardless of restructuring or not. Again 4 million is too much to eat, esp for his ceiling of his talent and "not being used correctly" 1 game this year he was used how he should of been, for just about 4 quarters. Again Megatron...and he got SHOT DOWN then we "change the scheme" and Megatron beats us. I HOPE he restructures...thats our best case. NEX year we can cut him with no salary hit.
Jason Babin he is completely off the books, non of that money is dead besides what we owed him for this year. Any team that claimed him claimed his contract. Nothing was gaurenteed at all in his contract. In hindsight it was another beautiful Eagles shady contract, from the agent and players end....stupid to accept it. The part of "Babins contract" being able to hurt us has already passed.... hes 4.5 million off the books
Mike Patterson hes on the books for 4 million but he would be owed a roster bonus after the super bowl over just over 1 million. So if we pay that hes on the roster, if not he will be cut / released and off the roster and 4 million free of cap space.
Cullen Jenkins would be STUPID to let go. Not only because of his leadership tha he brings to the field but also his financial cost he is. His orig contract had him at a 6.5 cap hit but he restructured that. Now his hit is a 5.5 hit and owed 1.5 fully gaurenteed. So hes a 4 million dollar hit.
Demetress Bell same thing as a Mike Vick here, 3 days after the Super Bowl hes due 8.6 million dollars. LOL he can and will be cut for a 0 dollar proration or any hidden fees. He was a 1 year rental that looked like a juicy cnotract in his eyes. Im sure if he preformed at a very high level eagles may have considered keeping him. He will be an amazing 9.6 million off the books 100%
Vick 17.9
Nndami 11
Babin 4.5
Patterson 4
Jenkins 4
Bell 9.6
Now the deal we signed with LeSean next year he only counts for 5 million. His contract is an inverted Hour Glass deal. Meaning the middle of his contract is the biggest. But he is also do a roster bonus over 5 years. As long as we pay his 1.7 million dollar roster bonus after the Super Bowl he will be on the team and he counts for 5 million against the cap this year.
DJax - his contract is really tricky and very very well written by Eagles FO. This upcoming year is the only year we HAVE to keep him basically. 9 million dollar cap hit and a 2 million dollar bonus. But the 2014 year we can get almost 100% off the books from him. But this upcoming year he will get PAID. 9 million no matter how you look at it and he will collect a total of arpprox 11.4 million this year. (aside from injury, or missing practice / game due to being childish which is the only clause or way we can get out of his contract.
McCoy -5
DJax -9
We have approx 22 million in cap right now... of the 120 million.
Now assume we cut all the above people (Babin already gone) we will have approx 51 million available. Gotta take away McCoy and Jackson so we have approx 37 million in cap room to make up for losing Vick, Bell, Babin, Jenkins, Patterson, Nndami. Or if we keep Jenkins and Nndami like i suggest we would have 22 million in cap space. Assume you need 5 million for the draft so that leaves us with around 17 million in potential "SAFE" money to go out and get 2 impact players in FREE AGENCY.
Damn thanks for taking the time to make that well detailed post. I completely understand things now and I appreciate that.
Someone to add to that list and I don't know how likely it'll happen is Jason Avant.
With Riley Cooper coming on this year, barring any additions to our receiving corp in the off season, I think it's time to put Coop and Macy on the outside and let Djax play the slot and shut people the heck up about people like Cruz being better than him.
Avant is solid and has been a nice veteran presence and unless he's willing to restructure his contract, I think we should part ways with him.
I also think we should restructure Pattersons contract, he may seem like a bust but when he plays our d-line does get some pressure up the middle and he can be a nice rotational guy to have as long as he's restructured.
yeah np man..
I hear that about DJax but personally I prefer this scenario...
Dwayne Bowe - big physical great route runner had drops early but prove himself... and holy YAC too
DeSean Jackson - let him be the deep threat keep the safeties true....
Jeremy Maclin - put him in the slot or honestly trade him and keep Avant there hes one of the best slot 3rd down wr's in the league.
but if we cant get FA options...
I would still like to trade Maclin....he has shown me nothing worth keeping at all esp these past few weeks when he is the CLEAR CUT #1.
Cooper - split
DJax - split
Avant - slot
Man i hate to sound like a debbie downer, but all that we wanted for the longest time were WR's...now all I want is DIFFERENT ones LOL.... man their good but just not good enough...i want a Hakeem Nicks / Dez Bryant / Justin Blackmon / Dwayne Bowe / Calvin Johnson / Andre Johnson / Julio Jones

You know the average business person (woman, in my case) gets the shaft when it comes to life vs. work balance. See, those of us who work the nine-to-five gig are really at a serious disadvantage when it comes to balancing work time and personal time. Yes, I know we choose to put big-fat-corporate-butts in our ergonomic chairs, rolling around in our cube-farms, but a girl's got to pay the bills somehow!
The average person who works nine-to-five is working the standard business hours, meaning the hours that businesses are open for business. There are no after hours special for other business people, like there are for service-industry workers. You know, like at the local bar where you show up in your bar/restaurant uniform and you get discounts on beers? Wouldn't it be nice to get to go to the bank at 9 pm and show your little corporate badge and get in to do business while all the other bank-goers look on at your late-night-deposits with envy? Ok, so I'm sure the people who are hanging around outside a bank at 9 pm are probably not the type to be making deposits at any hour, but you get my drift, right?
Somehow, our companies expect us to juggle our own personal business (i.e., paying mortgages, making deposits, shopping for a new purse…) within these hours without, of course, stepping on our companies toes by using company resources to pay our bills, reserve cabins in the Smokey Mountains (Oktoberfest in Helen, GA anyone?) or using the mailroom for receiving E-bay orders. (I seriously never would have gotten busted if the damn seller didn't ship their "Like New" Ralph Lauren purse that I won for a measly $45, in E-bay designed wrapping paper around the box!)
So, where does that leave us nine-to-fivers?
That leaves us on our lunch break, running around like mad people trying to plunge 18 pounds of "to-do" crap in the toilet of a one-hour lunch break that we are allotted. Seriously, one hour? I can't even get properly dressed for work in one hour, let alone get most of my daily errands ran. The post office usually takes up 15 minutes of time and that's just dealing with the counter person and trying to explain to them that, "Yes, I know I'm mailing a book, however, I do not wish to mail it media mail, I wish to mail it first class mail as it is cheaper and usually arrives sooner regardless if you can't get past the fact that I am mailing media at the non-media rate." And that's not even factoring in the wait in line or the drive over there!
How do we find that time to do those small but important tasks without having to rush ourselves through lunch, eating while driving back to the office or having to skip lunch all together (since that's really bad for your metabolism) without getting fired?

Chelsea have been linked with a cut-price summer move for German striker Stefan Kiessling.
Metro claims the six-cap international is 'determined' to force a move away from Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season, after a January switch to West Ham United fell through at the final stages.
The paper cites reports in Germany when claiming that the 29-year-old has instructed his agent to tout his services to clubs in the Premier League, with Chelsea amongst the first few clubs to be offered Kiessling as he searches for an opportunity in the English capital.
Kiessling has spent seven-years at the BayArena since signing from Nuremburg in 2006, but the report claims the club are also looking to go 'in a new direction', and will accept £6million for the player's services.
Dynamo Kiev and Borussia Dortmund are also interested in the striker, according to the paper, meaning Chelsea will have a fight on their hands for the player's signature.
It's also unclear who will be in charge at Stamford Bridge when the time comes to make a move, with 'interim' manager Rafa Benitez heading for the Blues' exit door after failing to make an instant impact on the King's Road.
If a new manager does decide to pursue Kiessling, the forward will provide a different option to those currently available, with Demba Ba and Fernando Torres currently vying for first team opportunities at Chelsea.

If anything, it sounds like our estimates of the Earth's age may be too young, not too old. Pending, of course, confirmation that the results aren't the result of an error in statistical analysis.
Lets hope nobody identifies Plutonium-186 [wikipedia.org]
or proximity to the sun? could the amount of ambient energy have an effect on decay rates? Ice melts faster in the summer than in winter, or does it? observed decay is relative to an average state.... balanced equations and all that stuff I tried to forget from school come back....
The sun has a cycle of it's own (about 1 month). They did a much more accurate study and found the decay rate is tightly correlated to the sun's cycle.
Longer version:
The theory now is that it has to do with the neutrino flux. As we move further from the sun the flux goes down by 1/R^2. We saw that fluctuation first. But the neutrino flux also varies with the solar cycle which is independent of the earth's temperature.
This is very very cool experimental physics. Kudo's to them!
There's another possible simple test: use the southern hemisphere. If it goes down in winter in the southern hemisphere at the same time as going up in the northern, that's a whole different data point.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly why darkmeleon suggested doing the experiment in the southern hemisphere: it's a great way to either prove or disprove those saying that temperature variation is what's causing the change in measured decay rates: if it's caused by the weather's effect on the equipment, then the effect should be out of phase in the southern hemisphere than the northern. If, on the other hand, the increase/decrease happens in the same months, then it confirms that it's the proximity to the sun that's causing it.
Or... use a termostat in the lab?
Cassini also has the advantage of little if any other material around it to have an adverse effect on measurement, measured decay could be affected by surroundings.
I'm not even certain how you would go about having a closed system to measure, you can know a speed or a location but.....
Cassini also has the advantage of little if any other material around it to have an adverse effect on measurement, measured decay could be affected by surroundings.
Even more than this.
What is the precision one can trust for Cassini's measurements? How small is the seasonal variation in Earth conditions? How the two compares?
What valid conclusion can one derive from the above facts? In my opinion, exactly one, which is more research is necessary.
What valid conclusion can one derive from the above facts? In my opinion, exactly one, which is more research is necessary.
And that's a conclusion you can take to the bank (after the grant comes in, of course).
Two interesting points are missing (maybe I should go and read TFA).
1) The actual variation measured in decay of Si-32 and Ra-226. How small is small? Second, third, fourth significant digit? Even smaller maybe?
2) The experimental precision of the Pu-238 experiment.
The precision of 2) should be at least an order of magnitude better than the precision of 1) to be able to reasonably rule out solar effects in case of 2). Considering experiment 2) is done on board a space craft and 1) is done on earth, I don't expect this to be the case.
Except that Cassini isn't measuring the decay rate, as the other experiments were directly, but measuring the power output from thermocouples heated by the energy of the particles captured (by the overall mass of the thermocouple/isotope system) from the decaying material -- which also has a rather long half-life.
There's a lot of averaging out of effects in all that, and the effect they're looking for is quite small. The link didn't mention a lower bound for the detection sensitivity based on looking at Cassini power outputs. Cassini doesn't rule it out, it just sets an upper bound for the effect -- and if the effect were that strong we'd likely have noticed it before now.
The link didn't mention a lower bound for the detection sensitivity based on looking at Cassini power outputs.
The arxiv.org link at the bottom of the article provides just that. The variation in counting (not decay) rates observed is about 0.1% over the 3% variation in Earth's orbital distance, implying about (3E-2)/R**2 as the relationship, and the Cassini results put an upper limit on of less than (0.84E-4)/R**2 and comparable for a
Ergo, the Cassini results put on a limit that is more than two orders of magnitude smaller than the original observation. Ergo, the original observation is not due to simply
One of the really cool parts of this finding -- in modern times, experimental particle physics has required increasingly huge machines (and budgets) to participate. For a change, here's researchers everywhere can participate in, possibly revolutionary, and for very little cost.
Strong Magnetic Fields and High temperatures can influence the Weak Nuclear force, causing it to change.
We have already coupled the forces of ElectroMagnetism and the Weak force in particle accelerators, why is this of any surprise?
IIRCC current theory's relating to atomic decay, both classic and quantum, state that the decay rate of unstable atoms is totally random and does not change under any normal conditions.
Not quite, k-electron capture are affected by the cross section of the k-electrons with the nucleus, which might be slightly changed by pressure or chemical bonds. This can lead to a change of up to 1%. The fully ionised nucleus would be stable if there is no other decays possible.
Other decay modes should also be affected, as the energy levels of the nucleus is pertubed by the electron-density, but this would be a much smaller effect, as the electron cloud is not directly involved in these decays.
A lump of radioactive cesium-137, for example, may decay at a steady rate overall
But is that true? I thought a more correct statement would be that Cesium-137 decays at a particular rate on average. I'd have thought you'd expect some minor fluctuations in decay rates would be expected.
This is important because the rate of decay is very important not just for antique dating, but also for cancer treatment, time keeping, and the generation of random numbers.
How is radioactive decay used for time keeping?
Seriously? You use this site and have never heard of an atomic clock?
Methinks we've got another outbreak of N-Rays or CNF in the works.
Just a hunch...
You mean the glitch in my PC is really POM dependent?
But if it's neutrino's doing this, *and* there's a notable difference to what happens to these experiments, depending on what side of the globe you're on, then the amount and the effect of neutrino's racing through earth, us, and whatnot cannot be in any way insignificant, meaning that they must, somehow, interact with us. You know. Give us cancer and that sort of thing. Make us more heavy, I don't know. Or do neutrino's *only* affect isotope-degradation-experiments ?
The trouble is that the effect is correlated with the 33-day rotation of the solar core. If varying rates of nuclear decay affected cancer rates -- which they could -- the problem with measuring it is the speed with which cancer progresses. Since we can't detect cancer the moment a cell goes rogue, any variability in oncogenesis rates over a 33-day period would be lost in the statistical noise.
If you do figure out a way to detect oncogenesis that precisely, you'll be too busy curing cancer to worry much about solar neutrino flux.
Is it possible that the decay changes and the solar activity just happen on the same schedule due to some other external force that synchronizes them, or due to some sort of inherent cyclicality that began at a similar instant in the distant past and remains synchronized?
Other than human error I can't think of any other alternate explanations for the correlation.
Ever since I heard radioactive decay mentioned as a true random process, I have wondered how long it would take until we figured out that it wasn't true random, after all. This story sounds like we may be getting closer.
Beta decay is: neutron -> proton + electron + antineutrino.
If you add a neutrino to each side you get: neutron + neutrino -> proton + electron + energy
So is it not plausible that the probability of a nucleus undergoing beta decay is related to the number of neutrinos handy?
A couple of other corollaries: this finding would mean that carbon-14 dating is less reliable than previously thought; and also that it may be possible somehow to extract historical data about the strength of the sun somehow. (relevant to the AGW debate).
TFA seems to assume "seemed to be influenced by activities inside the sun" and "something produced by the sun had traveled all the way through the Earth"
Another possibility would be that some other influence is affecting both the decay rates and the solar activity. If I had to make a poorly informed guess, I would pick that over the idea of the sun influencing the decay rates.
Assuming this decay rate thing is real, and not some subtle misunderstanding about the measuring technique, am I the only one who thinks this is a fantastic result?
If we went clear back to 1965 you could attend college classes in astronomy that included the teaching that the sun could not produce as much energy as it does with nuclear reactions without having too short a life span. The calculations of that era suggested that gravity was the most likely source of solar heat generation.

But look at Kevin's log in form example. There's no additional markup (in fact, a lot less markup than many people would currently add to provide CSS hooks).
Maybe I'm missing something, but looks to me like there are two extra elements for each label/input vs. what you'd need if you weren't using CSS tables. The span seems wholly unnecessary, and the div wrapping each set should only be necessary for IE6… where CSS tables fail anyway, right?

If your company is producing security critical software and doesn't have a plan for quickly dealing with bugs you suck.
Also, even if they can't patch it quickly the point is to inform users so they can take appropriate precautions.
"Security critical software" is anything on the Internet.
Let's say I write a clever new web game, called "Cyber Tic Tac Toe." It's based on the classic idea of tic tac toe, but with the novel twist that it's on the Internet! As fun as my game is, and despite the fact that you are totally addicted to my awesome game and play it about 20 hours every week, questing to get your 3 Xs in a row, some people would say this is completely mundane and unimportant.

For article. Sadly you can't moderate an article.
What article? All I see is some idiot's comment that somehow got posted as if it were an article. Timothy must be drunk again.
Agreed. Submitter sputtered the industry line, but if the industry wanted different standards they should try setting *some* standards instead of pretending that it's OK to ignore vulnerabilities.
Google has a decent point, but they're also trying to nudge the industry in a direction where more businesses will leave the driving to them [wikipedia.org], or to cloud competitors like Amazon.
Why single out Google? Shouldn't traditional software vendors have also run programs through QA?
Having worked in software development for 30 years, let me tell you a dark little secret.
QA programs are never enough.
It matters not how good your QA section is, things will get through. Why? Because the QA people have looked at the code, because QA managers are fond of believing that filling out paperwork is the same thing as careful retrospection, because the QA people work for a company whose vested interest is in getting that chunk of software out the door.
In order to do a thorough job, one needs Diff
Oh, I'm completely with you: Developers should run QA, but there will always be bugs that slip through. I was responding to the AP's insinuation that Google should be catching all their security problems in internal QA but that Microsoft should get a pass for some reason.
Having worked in software development for 30 years, let me tell you a dark little secret.
QA programs are never enough.
Dropping previous moderation to comment here:
Having worked in SQA for over 17 years I can tell you PM NEVER listens to SQA unless the app would be DOA on more than 20% of the target customer's machines. On occasion a XXO would override PM and tell them no... you cannot RTM until you fix *THIS* issue... but security, data loss, customer satisfaction were never significant guidance to PM or XXO decisions.
And these issues are not deep... this is low hanging fruit, more often than not. PMs and DEVs hate SQA
Most other companies doesn't have well funded FUD campaigns directed against them.
It's Google who are pushing a 7-day deadline for vulnerability disclosure. These companies are in effect saying "That's not fair, we can't fix our software that quickly!". It would be a real PR foot bullet if people understood what they're saying.
"People that over promise and under deliver typically aren't around too long."
You are kidding, ain't you?
If you say "I'm telling you privately but going public in 7 days" it sounds like a threat and the most likely response if a lawsuit or the police hammering on your door. Even if you don't say anything about going public there is a fair chance of that happening. Your actions are pretty risky.
Unfortunately unless the company has a history of dealing with security bug reports in a timely and proper manner the most responsible thing to do is just post about it anonymously to one of the full disclosure mailing l
A vulnerability that is already being exploited needs to be fixed right away. It's called 0-day for a reason, not 7-day. It should be disclosed immediately to force the vendor to do something about it.
a 7-day turnaround of fixes for actively exploited unpatched vulnerabilities, is rather naive and devoid of commercial reality. As a web services company it is much easier for Google to develop and roll out fixes promptly — but for 95+% of the rest of the world's software development companies making thick-client, server and device-specific software this is unrealistic
Hello there, mr/ms/mrs anonymous COWARD, what are you saying there? It COSTS TOO MUCH to prompty (as in a week) fix ACTIVELY EXPLOITED vulnerabilities? When you get the actual problem handed to you on a silver platter? What company do you work for?
It also seems to rely on the(severely dubious) assumption that Google's disclosure will have much of an effect, on anything aside from how slow the vendor looks, for 'actively exploited unpatched vulnerabilities'.
This isn't a 'Hey, we found a bug that nobody else knows about yet, we are going to release it just for giggles!' situation. Clock. Is. Already. Ticking. Google's 'deadline' may be the one at which you start looking increasingly incompetent in public; but the deadline at which everyone running your
a 7-day turnaround of fixes for actively exploited unpatched vulnerabilities, is rather naive and devoid of commercial reality.
I read that and I was thinking, "Well, yeah, sure - I shoot for one hour and can't recall the last time it took more than a day to get a critical bug patch out, but that's not really reasonable for everyone. The team I work on is pretty focused on keeping the tracks polished so we can get high priority things through. I think 7 days is OK. It could be better, but it's OK. And Google isn't even saying it will take 7 days, they're saying 7 days is the max. But, whatever, I guess -- ultimately agitating for faster patches is something I support."
for 95+% of the rest of the world's software development companies making thick-client, server and device-specific software this is unrealistic.
What?!? You mean it's not realistic to get the patch available within 7 days? I mean, obviously you can't expect users to have their systems patched immediately, and sometimes a third party (like a walled garden approval path) can lock you out. But is the writer saying 95% of companies can't even have a patch pushed for release in 7 days?
If that is true, we, as a society, need to drop what we're doing and focus on security, build management, QA workflow, whatever it is that is making that a reality. 7 days is acceptable. 95% of companies can't hit 7 days? First, that is not true in my experience. But if it is? That is not acceptable, if it is true. There really are bad people out there trying to root our electronics. Seven days to get a patch out for an actively exploited in the wild vulnerability is enough. Work the problem. Figure out why you can't hit that number, and fix it.
So the OP is bitching Google is like the Empire offering rewards that people like Boba Fett go after? I don't even
It's no wonder this article was posted anonymously. The whole tone and writing style is exactly what one would expect in a position statement cranked out by a corporate PR flack. I wonder whose flack it is.
Google's stance on a 60day turnaround of vulnerability fixes from discovery, and a 7-day turnaround of fixes for actively exploited unpatched vulnerabilities, is rather naive and devoid of commercial reality.
I think what you're saying, is that if someone is going around stabbing people in the heart, and if a doctor says these victims all need immediate medical attention (even the victims which are in isolated areas far from hospitals), then that doctor is being naive and devoid of medical reality.
I personally think you should quit blaming the doctor for the unfairness and horror that is inherent in the situation. Declaring the urgency of a problem being addressed, isn't "naive". It's not naive, even if addressing the problem is incredibly hard or even if it's effectively impossible.
If the doctor truly thinks the victims all really will get "immediate medical attention" then he'd be naive. But advising it isn't naive. Yelling at people "get that victim to the ER as fast as you can!" isn't naive. Telling people that heart stab wounds are very serious, isn't naive.
And the analogy with Google here, is that you just got stabbed in the heart, they're advising and hoping you get immediate medical attention, and 7 days from now, if your wife asks Google if they've seen you lately, they're going to tell your wife, "I heard he got stabbed in the heart last week. You took him to the hospital, right? If not, you better get on that, right now." You're concerned Google is going to scare your wife?! Be concerned that you're not at the hospital yet!
You think Google is being naive with unreasonably high expectations, but the need for those high expectations isn't their fault!
Google's standards are too hard to be realistic for the rest of the industry, but the standards for Google itself are 0 security defects ever. How does that work again?
(disclosure: I work for Google. I don't speak for them.)
What a dumb opinion piece.
The main difference between a client-installed application and a web-app these days is that a patch on a web application is available as soon as you deploy it, while the patch for the client application needs to be downloaded and installed, which is mostly done automatically.
So, in terms of time, the difference is on the order of minutes, hours at most.
Is it more difficult to create and/or test updates for clients or for browsers? Hard to say, but the difference isn't fundamental.
Industry is irrelvant, if your customers are being actively exploited you are or ought to be liable if you don't fix it as fast as possible
The debate has always been about whether to give any advance notification at all. That's why firstname.lastname@example.com is called "full disclosure". That's the spectrum of behaviour that's allowed, anything up to 0, "notify vendor and public simultaneously":
Even if not for that, the complaining seems to rest on a vague suggestion that Google's acting somewhat in their own interest instead of always doing t
As a user, I don't care about the vendor's ability to fix it quickly. Really I don't. That's their problem. My problem is that my systems are vulnerable to compromise and I have to do something about it. I need to know what the vulnerability is, in enough detail to understand it myself, and I need to know the possible workarounds (not just the vendor's recommended one(s), which is another reason I need to know what the vulnerability actually is so I can understand all the other possible ways of dealing with it). I need to evaluate my options and take whatever steps I need to to protect my systems. If the vendor needs a month to get the fix through their change-control process, I still need to protect my systems today.
The vendor's advice will be based on their most-likely scenario. Problem is that my situation may be radically different from the vendor's most-likely one. There's definitely going to be local considerations even if my situation's one the vendor's workaround covers. I need to understand the vulnerability to be able to evaluate it intelligently. It may not even be relevant to my setup. If it is, I may have less-intrusive workarounds (eg. for the SSH OTP authentication bug, if we've got a purely internal network that isn't accessible to the outside world or the Windows desktop portion of the network it may be less intrusive to just monitor for attempted exploits and defer doing anything until I see someone having gotten past the air gap rather than changing an authentication method that a lot of people depend on and that can't be exploited easily without being physically in the building). And if I need to take drastic steps like disabling the vulnerable SSH authentication method, I may have clients who insist they must be able to use it (maybe because their systems are based on it and they need my systems to integrate with their authentication because I'm providing services to them) and I need to be able to intelligently discuss exactly what's wrong and why it's simply not possible to use that method without being vulnerable and we've got to change to a different method despite the disruption. I can't do that unless I understand the vulnerability.
Notice that in all the above I haven't mentioned the vendor at all. Like I said, the vendor isn't relevant at all. It's my systems that're vulnerable and me that has to do something about it. If the vendor already has a fix then well and good, but if they don't it doesn't change my situation. When vendors say they need more time, they're asking me to leave my systems vulnerable without telling me they're vulnerable. Sorry, but no. Not, that is, unless they're willing to shoulder 100% of all the costs resulting from that vulnerability being exploited. Not just direct costs, things like the costs of lost business and clean-up if the vulnerability is exploited and liabilities I may incur because of the compromise. If a vendor isn't willing to take on that liability, then they don't get to tell me I shouldn't have the information I need to protect myself from that liability. If they don't like it... this is the sound of the world's smallest violin, playing the world's saddest song just for them.
When vendors say they need more time, they're asking me to leave my systems vulnerable without telling me they're vulnerable. Sorry, but no. Not, that is, unless they're willing to shoulder 100% of all the costs resulting from that vulnerability being exploited.
The bit that you're ignoring is that by telling you about the vulnerability they're also telling all the black hats about it. So while your systems are vulnerable either way, the choice is between you and all the hackers knowing or you and most of the hackers not knowing. Whether this increases or decreases your actual exposure depends on who is interested in attacking you and whether or not they already have this exploit.
While you may be capable of implementing countermeasures to limit your vulnerability
The bit that you're ignoring is that by telling you about the vulnerability they're also telling all the black hats about it.
Except that the black hats already know about it, and are actively using it to compromise systems. Telling me about it doesn't give the black hats any information they didn't already have. The only way keeping the information confidential helps me is if it's something the black hats can't possibly figure out without being told, and the track record says there's no such thing. I have y

No, because it's a distinction you can't draw. There's a line from a Dr. Who episode: "Not every shadow, just any shadow.". The same applies to attackers. Not every attacker will know the details, but any attacker may. And since by the time you know whether any particular attacker knows the details or not it's too late to defend, you have to assume that any attacker knows and defend yourself bef

Laetitia Sadier
(Drag City)
Best known as the singer for '90s indie band Stereolab, Sadier sticks to her guns on her second solo album. Where her 2010 solo debut The Trip focused on more personal issues, most notably her sister's suicide, which took place shortly before the recording of the album, here the French-born singer turns her focus outward to topics such as politics and the universe as a whole. Opening track "The Rule of the Game" name-checks fascism, the ruling class and disarmament, while "There is a Price to Pay for Freedom (and it isn't Security)" employs distant sleigh bells in a verse discussing the societal roles individuals are forced to take on. If these sound like heady topics, they are. Yet Sadier still finds time to match her weighty lyrics to an upbeat strum on "Auscultation to the Nation" and "Moi Sans Zach" even features Latin rhythms. —Michael Cimaomo
Fancy Trash
As Is
Moodiness and angst have long been key ingredients in all the best rock music. In recent years, though, especially around the Valley, it sometimes seems musicians have forgotten that there are a whole host of flavors and spices other than mope and moan that can go into making a tune rock your socks off. While there's plenty of heartbreak in Fancy Trash's new album, the three-piece folk-rock ensemble have managed to capture the exhilarating rawness of their live performances and packaged it into a lean, nine-song, 28-minute gourmet feast. The rapid-fire, reverb-laden approach is closer to something an early Elvis Costello or Joe Jackson might have produced than the sad-sack warblings of someone like Eddie Vedder. From the album's opening track, "Too Many Dings" all the way to the end, the album satisfies and leaves you wanting more. —Mark Roessler
Ty Segall
(Drag City)
It's been the year of Ty Segall. He's released three distinct and remarkably high quality albums in 2012. His latest, Twins, combines the savage punk energy of Slaughterhouse and the trippy psychedelic textures of his White Fence collaboration Hair. Written and performed almost entirely by Segall, it plays like a victory lap, a confident showcase of his sprawling talents. The wellspring of his music is 1960s garage rock, but Segall continues to refine his songwriting and expand his sonic vocabulary. "The Hill" features female harmonies and glam rock riffs that pull apart like taffy. The album moves easily between the frenetic and catchy "You're the Doctor," the lumbering and fuzz-drenched "Ghost," and the blissed out acoustic strummer "Gold on the Shore." Hot streaks like this don't usually last long. Twins is another urgent bulletin that the time to catch up on Ty Segall is now. —Jeff Jackson

With a small garden or patio space, a bit of inspired thinking is required, writes Justin Newcombe.
I'm really interested in small. I think the constraints of size are stimulation for innovation and gardening is no exception. This year I started a bit of a patio garden - a garden lab, if you will - using mainly pots. But I've been looking for opportunities to extend things a bit. Like many patio gardeners, I need to maximise precious ground space as patios are not only garden areas but are also living spaces for people to relax and entertain in. Last year I built a plant wall to use wasted vertical space. But what if you're looking for more of a quick fix, something smaller and easy to do without a lot of fuss? Well using the same technology as a plant wall seems like a good idea (no point reinventing the wheel).
Instead of stacking the cells and joining them together, I thought I'd make a single-cell cube garden on which I could plant the sides as well as the top. This gives me about four times the amount of garden space that I would ordinarily get from the same footprint.
Because this was a bit of an experiment, I had my doubts as to whether the plants would hold their condition. I was pleasantly surprised. I focused on herbs with some cranberries on the top. I also planted a whole bunch or marigolds on one whole wall. I left the cube for a week without watering when I went away. This happened to be one of the few fine weeks we've had this summer and when I returned the cube was looking really good. In fact, the growth in the plants was as good as anything else we've grown. To make the potting mix lighter I used pre-lite (available at Bunnings), which also stops the soil slumping. The plastic cube comes with special bags to put the soil in but because these are designed for a structure half the width of the cube I wanted I would probably use a section of weed mat to line the box next time. All in all, the results were above my expectations and the vege cube has proved an excellent attractive addition to my patio experiment.
Step 1
Clip the box together, make sure you have all the pieces lined up correctly before you start (it's simple enough). Leave one side unclipped so you can fill the cube. One seam on the box doesn't clip together, so I used trusty old cable ties.
Step 2
Figure out how big the holes need to be for each plant and how you're going to arrange them, then cut them out with a drill and hole-cutter. Smaller and more frequent holes are best.
Step 3
Place the soil bags provided in the cube. Instead of using two bags try using weed mat, which will give you a better fit.
Step 4
Mix your soil and permalite. I used two bags of permalite for one bag of potting mix. The permalite makes the soil lighter and also reduces soil slumping. Fill the bags.
Step 5
Carefully cut the fabric liners for the plants and plant them. Water well. The plants will flop down at first but it won't take long (a day or two) before they grow upright again.

TECH NOW: Add a media player to help cut the cable cord
In Part 4 of her 4-part series on cutting the cable cord, contributor Jennifer Jolly demonstrates the latest streaming media players from Roku and others.
If you're a cord cutter who still wants to watch TV on your giant screen in your living room, you need a set-top box to get your favorite content right where you want it. Before you panic over adding yet another gadget to your living room, we'll start by saying that you can spend as little as $50 to add streaming services to your television — though you may also find that you already have a gadget that can do the job.
Before you buy anything, take a quick look at the gadgets you already own. It's a good bet that the average household already has something that can easily handle streaming to your tube. First: check out your TV, as well as any DVD or Blu-ray players. (Still stuck with that VCR you never got the clock working on? You're out of luck.) The newer they are, the more likely they are to have some "smart" feature that allows them to connect to your Wi-Fi network and stream movies and television shows from popular services like Netflix and Hulu.
The next place to check is gaming consoles: The PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and Wii U will all stream Netflix and Hulu. If you don't have one of these, don't necessarily rush out to buy one. New models of PlayStation and Xbox are coming out by the end of the year, both of which will have more living room-friendly features than current models. So if you'd like to buy a game console with home entertainment in mind, wait a few more months on the upcoming PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
MORE: Part 1 - How to cut the cable cord
MORE: Part 2 - How to find shows, sports to stream
MORE: Part 3 - The best in online video services
There's a much more economical way to add streaming features to your existing entertainment center than buying a new TV or gaming console: a streaming media set-top box. These gadgets run around $100. Installation is as simple as plugging them in. Though there are a lot of options on the market, my favorites are Roku and Apple TV. Both offer streaming from all of my favorite services, as well as super-simple setup, which makes them an easy choice for your home entertainment center.
ROKU. If you want to watch online streaming content on your television, a Roku device is the best way to get at it. Just plug it into your television, connect it to your Wi-Fi network, and suddenly your TV has access to a wealth of new entertainment options. It includes the three biggest streaming services — Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Instant — as well as a wealth of smaller services to help you access whatever content you're after. So if you want to watch Crackle, Vudu, PBS (and PBS Kids), Blockbuster on Demand, and more, Roku's got it. Sports lovers will also find themselves with plenty of options, including MLB, NBA, UFC, NHL, MLS and more.
I'm especially fond of the recently released Roku 3, which retails for $100. In addition to being a streaming powerhouse, the Roku 3 lets you plug headphones into the remote, so you can enjoy your favorite shows without bothering others in the household. However, if you don't want to spend that much, you can find a last-generation Roku — which offers just as many streaming options — for around $50.
APPLE TV. If you're an Apple addict, you may be sold on just the name. However, Apple's product is compelling on its own — at least as long as you're already an avid Apple user. Apple TV is a lot like Roku — the two gadgets are even about the same size and shape. Apple TV provides access to the content you're most likely to want: Netflix and Hulu with MLB, NBA and NHL for sports lovers. It doesn't offer the variety Roku has, but it offers one thing Roku doesn't: iTunes compatibility. If you use iTunes to buy movies or television shows, it's easy to watch those on your TV with an Apple TV and just not possible on Roku. Additionally, the device supports AirPlay, which lets you turn your TV into a second screen for your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or even MacBook.
If you're not an Apple user, go with Roku, hands down. But if you have a tendency to use Apple products and purchase iTunes content, Apple TV has a definite edge over the competition.
You're all set. Hopefully we've answered most of your questions and concerns, and given you a solid how-to when it comes to cutting the cable cord. Be sure to let us know if you have any other thoughts on the topic.

I want to use LSWS in front of Zope and added a virtual host with a rewrite rule and a webserver as an external app. The rewite rule looks like this: Code: RewriteRule ^/(.*) /live/josephheeg/VirtualHostRoot/$1 RewriteCond HTTP_HOST !: RewriteRule ^(.*) localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:80/$1 [P,L] The rule is working fine, but when I hit reload in the browser LSWS hangs... I think it has something to do with the ports in the rewrite rule... When I change the rule to Code: RewriteRule ^(.*) localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}:8080/$1 [P,L] the behaviour is fine even with browser reload.

text: ViolentAudio and myself had a agreement to do a exchange he is local so i thought this would be a very smooth transaction. I was wrong he had 2 Orion 2500d's that he was selling for 300ea. I sent him a message saying that i wanted both amps and i was local and could pick up same day. He replied with 600 cash and they are yours. I said thats fine and we set up a place to meet the next day well he sent me back a PM the same night saying that he sold one of the amps.. i was like WTF, ok whatever i still want the other amp. So the meet was still on, i told him i work tell 2pm and my job is already half way to the meeting spot and and i could meet him after work and he said thats fine he would give me a call at 11am to confirm. well i get off work and still no phone call from him so i go ahead and go home. I send him another PM asking what happened. Also in all this time i gave him my phone number but he wouldnt give me his.. well i didnt get a respond back from my PM and seen that he was active twice. So i sent another PM saying that i see that you are active but dont respond and i need to know if this deal is still on.. well he PM's me back and says that he is selling the other amp to someone else local. to me thats total BS

Discussion in 'The Howard Stern Show' started by Dlist, Nov 14, 2012.
Howard is confused how you can just hang with a good friend...really sad...
He doesn't take pictures of an aging wife, doesnt play chess, cant further Beth's career in any way, gives to real charities, is a legend, has taste, not an ass kisser, and he lives in NYC probably about 2 miles away from him so Howard really isn't able to get to him to hang out. You know how much Howard hates to travel unless it's to the Hamptons to do all those things listed above with empty souls who befriended you because you attend white suit parties for seal and seagull charity events.
Bradley: Robert Dinero is a friend.
Howard: What is that?
Its lonely at the top when you've shit on everyone who put you on the map. He uses people left and right and they use him. That's his world now.
It's decades too late for Hamptons.....A lonely death is on the horizon..........Like Robins
"I Have to get in on this"
He's so jealous that he doesn't hang out with Deniro
Jeez...he already did the whole "i'm so confused about friendship" thing with Bradley Cooper last time he was on. Why can't a guest turn it on Howie and ask how he hangs with Jimmy?
This is who Howard hangs with
He should offer Mr. DiNiro a "Love Set" photo session.
the wig cant comprehend hangin' out with some friends if theyre not blowing each other...
Sup Nate!
"Love set? Was he talking to me?"
Howard doesn't know how to just hangout and relax with other celebrities and even regular people. He hasn't had much experience. The trainers, stylists, and assistants he calls "friends" are all on his payroll and have to pretend to like him. His two older daughters are doing their own thing and want nothing to do with ol' piano keys mouth. Ashley is away at college and can no longer be dragged to events by him and the stupid bimbo. What a sad life.
Let me ask you something...
No let me ask you something
let me.. no... let mee
alright go ahead
Do you still hang with Dice, the nicca-dean
The Revolution is onnnnnnnn..........
Hey, how's it goin'?
I thought I would come over to hang with the grown ups on this side for a while.
garden in a box can always break the ice
People always tell me I loo like Robert Deniro.
Sit down and do what? Talk and then what? Watch tv and then what?
