This may be more of a general Linux question, but because I'm using XFCE I'm asking here first. Apologies in advance for the length of this question.
How can I edit the file type that Thunar, (or Dolphin, Nautilus, etc) reports in the Detailed List view? I'm not talking about associating a file extension with an application, (that's my next question), I'm referring to the file type that is reported based on the file's extension.
For example, as a user of an EDA suite called Kicad, I have files on my system with an extension of '.mod'. These are module files used in creating printed circuit board layouts. File managers report these as 'Amiga SoundTracker audio' files, and assign a music note as the icon. I'm pretty much certain that I'll never have a SoundTracker file on my system, so I'd like to assign my own file type information for files with a '.mod' extension, and have Thunar report that information instead. At the very least, I'd like to remove any reference to 'Amiga SoundTracker file' from my system.
On a related note, is there any way to force Thunar to look at the extension only and ignore whatever other method is used to determine file types? Again using to Kicad as an example, the schematic and PCB files are in plain text format. Thunar, (or the underlying Linux stuff it uses), recognizes these as text files and offers to open them in my text editor. I can also associate these files with Kicad - the problem is that Thunar then offers to open ANY text file with Kicad, as well as with a text editor or whatever. Of course, Kicad does not recognize any text files that aren't in its own specific format, so there's no reason to associate a text file with Kicad unless it has a .sch, .brd, or .pro extension.
I'd even be happy with associating files by extension only, and totally disabling any other method of recognition - in fact, that might be the best solution for me.
Any insights or suggestions here are much appreciated.
You can look at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifi … -info-spec and http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifi … tions-spec
I suppose you could use 'xdg-mime install ...': http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/XdgUtils
If the MIME types for the app you use aren't defined properly yet, you could contribute through the mailing list (see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ ).
These are to get deep into the subject, as you asked.
I'm not sure, but perhaps is it possible to change the mimetypes in /usr/share/mime.
Don't forget an backup before.
Secipolla has provided the essential links to the right info above. But beyond that, we can proceed to create the new mimetype. So firstly, open up a terminal as root, and create a new file, kicad.xml, in the /usr/share/mime/packages folder. The filename doesn't have to be kicad.xml, it can be anything unique like blah.xml too. And again, I'm using geany, but you can use your own favourite text editor...
cd /usr/share/mime/packages
geany kicad.xml
And into that new file, plz cut and paste the following basic mimetype definition...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
<mime-type type="application/x-kicad-module">
<comment>Kicad Module File</comment>
<glob weight="60" pattern="*.mod"/>
<icon name="application-x-kicad-module"/>
Basically, the xml files in /usr/share/mime/packages contain the mimetype definitions for your system. And here we have added a new mimetype "application/x-kicad-module". And those files will use the generic icon "application-x-kicad-module" (if it exists). But the mimetype and icon names I've used here are pure guesswork for this example, so plz substitute and replace with more appropriate choices.
But there is already a standard mimetype for *.mod files - an audio filetype as you described above. So I've added a " weight=60 " term into our xml, to give our new mimetype a priority of 60, which is higher than the default of 50. Thus ensuring that our new mimetype takes precedence over the existing one.
Okay. Save your file, and exit your text editor. Now we need to rebuild the mimetype database.
cd /usr/share/mime
update-mime-database $PWD
And that should do it. Please reboot your system, and then see if Thunar detects the new mimetype.
Thanks to everyone who replied. Special thanks to daggoth - you rock! Now I'm off to fix up all the file associations I want to change.
I'm also going to study the links provided by secipolla, with a view to a) registering some MIME types with freedesktop.org, and b) writing a tutorial that expands on the procedure provided by daggoth.

Re: Elephants in the street. That happened in a city near me not too long ago. The circus was in town and the elephants (3) made a run for it. A woman awoke to an elephant in her yard, nibbling on her shrubs. She had to be quite insistent with the 911 operator to get a police response.There were a few people wondering what they'd been drinking the night before as they drove past the elephants. I'm surprised there weren't a bunch of traffic collisions that morning.
Though seeing escapee elephants. I'd love to see that.

Fiscal Year 2014 Appropriations Update
June 7, 2013
This week the full House of Representatives passed the first two appropriations bills -- HR 2216 Military Construction -- VA by a vote of 421 - 4 and HR 2217 Homeland Security Appropriations Act by a vote of 245 - 182. In approval of the rule to debate the Military Construction -- VA appropriation bill the House "deemed" (accepted) the House budget amount of $967 billion as the total amount they would spend on appropriations for this year. The budget had to be deemed since the House and Senate have not held a conference committee meeting to reconcile their two different budget amounts. The Senate is expected to deem $1.058 billion as their funding amount later this month when they announce their Appropriations subcommittee amounts and begin their markup process.
The passage of these two appropriations bills is important to the HIV community because they set in place the subcommittee allocations, known as 302(b) allocations, for the rest of the Appropriations Committees. The Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (Labor-H) subcommittee allocation for Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14) is estimated to be 18.6% below FY13 after sequestration. AIDS United staff does not believe the Labor-H bill at this low allocation will be debated in House subcommittee, full Appropriations committee, or on the House floor. The amount of cuts to the important programs that encompass the bill necessary to achieve an 18% reduction would not be something any Member would want to support. We believe we will have a repeat of years past when we are unable to see the details of the bill since the Chair would not be able to get it out of the full committee.
House leadership continues to say that all appropriations bills will be processed through regular order, meaning markups at the subcommittee and committee level and open floor debate. However, the above numbers do not bode well for such a process.
This year the Senate Appropriations committee has new leadership: Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), who has publically stated she wants to proceed with regular order. Her top line amount does not include sequestration, but does include the caps set by the Budget and Control Act in 2011. We understand the Senate process of markup in subcommittee and full committee will start the week of June 17. Since the House and Senate have not yet reached a "grand bargain" on how to turn off sequestration, and given the $91 billion difference between the two budgets, it looks like Fiscal Year 2014 will again be based on a Continuing Resolution. There is also a real possibility of a government shutdown on October 1 since sequestration has not been turned off and the grand bargain has not given the Congress the funding it needs to allocate sensible government spending.

Attorney General and San Francisco District Attorney Crack Down on Unscrupulous Travel Agents
California Attorney General Bill Lockyer and San Francisco District Attorney Terence Hallinan today announced the arrest of a San Francisco travel agent for violations of the California Seller of Travel Law. Two other travel agents are being sought in separate cases under arrest warrants issued by the San Francisco Superior Court for misdemeanor violations that include failure to register as a travel agent.
Charged with four felony and three misdemeanors was Flor de Maria Rivas, also known as Florence Rivas, operator of All Group Travel and Tours. While advertising "affordable fares world wide," the company allegedly failed to deliver on purchased airline tickets and other travel arraignments. Customers ranged from honeymooners to a man seeking to visit his ailing mother in Egypt.
According to District Attorney Hallinan, "These consumers paid in full for tickets they never got and were left with the nightmare of trying to find alternative travel at the last minute."
Attorney General Lockyer said: "State law requires travel agents to register and maintain a client trust fund to protect consumers making travel purchases. By going after unscrupulous travel agents, we protect California travelers who should get the airline tickets and cruise vacations they paid for and timely refunds if travel plans change."
Investigators found that Rivas had stonewalled some customers who were seeking refunds, while other customers spent months trying to obtain a refund for canceled travel tickets. While some refunds never came, other refund checks sent to customers "bounced" because of insufficient funds in Rivas' client trust account.
State law requires all sellers of travel to register as travel agents with the Attorney General's Office. Travel agents are required to place all passenger payments into a client trust account until tickets are actually purchased from airlines or cruise companies. Travel agents also must deliver travel tickets to clients within 72 hours of payment in full.
Numerous complaints about Rivas and All Group Travel and Tours were received by the Attorney General's office. These complaints were relayed to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office for formal investigation which led to the arrest of Rivas.
The following are other seller of travel cases in which the Attorney General's office has taken civil action in recent months:
-Suchitra Francis of Wings & Wheels International Travel in Berkeley, was fined $2,000 for failure to deposit certain client funds into the designated trust account and failure to make disclosures required by law to customers prior to receiving money for travel purchases.
-China Focus Travel, Inc., Shangdong Tourism Bureau and Yan Tao Li in San Francisco were fined $2,000 and assessed late registration fees for allowing their seller of travel registration to lapse.
-Ronali Ann de Silva and her company, Sunshine Tours & Vacations in Glendale, were fined $6,000 for false advertising and offering sales incentives without required consumer disclosures. The defendant also was ordered to make restitution to customers for unpaid refunds and undelivered trips.
-Consolidated Travel Group of Florida, and its president Madeline Valdes, were fined $8,000 for violations involving the sale of travel certificates commonly used as incentives in timeshare property marketing. Customers seeking to use travel certificates for a cruise were improperly charged "activation" and other fees. The defendant has agreed to reform its marketing procedures and change the way the certificates are activated, and refund deposits and fees to California customers.
-Frank Abedi of Student Summer Abroad Program in Los Angeles, who faces a fine for his Internet travel operation. As an unregistered seller of travel, Abedi was found to have falsely promised tours in Europe, Africa or Australia to high school students if they furnished an autobiographical essay along with fees of $50 to $100. The defendant has agreed to shut down his Internet web sites promoting the tours which were known to state law enforcement.
-Barbara Mowen of Travel Network in Mira Mesa was fined $1,500 and assessed late registration fees for failure to maintain a current registration as a seller of travel.
-Big "Tuna Bill" Ghiselin of Try Baja in San Diego for allegedly defrauding consumers and failing to register as a seller of travel. A stipulated judgment imposes penalties of $10,000 and requires the defendant to pay restitution as part of a final judgment.
-Dion Fradejas of Kreative Travel in Roland Heights of Los Angeles County was fined $1,000 for operating as an unregistered seller of travel.
-Ron E. Tindage of Indotravel, Inc. in West Covina was fined $12,500 for operating as an unregistered seller of travel.
-Ed Garcia of Azteca Travel in Norwalk for failure to register as a seller of travel. A $5,000 fine is pending.
-Weimin Yu of Wisdon International Trade Corp., for failure to register as a seller of ravel. A $7,500 fine was ordered in the case.

IE Goofups
Again, with the design of a new website, I am forced to deal with IE goofups.
I recently bought a template to do this newest design, and I was very disappointed to find that it used tables to layout the site rather than CSS which I have recently been excited about using, but I like the design and I paid for it so I must use tables.
But this page is giving me a number of problems. It looks exactly like I want it to in Firefox, but sucks in IE:
1- IE adds some space between each of the link items in the sidebar.
2- The Search section spreads itself over two lines.
3- There is a random green line under the heading and I have no idea why!
4-The flash navigation requires you to click on it everytime you want to use it. (I think this is some type of security issue built into IE)
BTW I use IE7. I havent been able to test it in earlier versions yet.
Any help would be fantastic. Thanks.

You should use a complete doctype (one that includes a URL) to get browsers to render as close to the same as possible. I recommend HTML 4.01 Strict. A doctype is not a magic fix. It is the first step in the process of fixing your page. The doctype tells the browser how to render the page.

We're about to see a whole new ball game in these NRL finals.
In the past the teams with the best defence and structure have usually come out on top. The ability to out-grind the opposition has been the key to taking out the title. But I've got a feeling it is going to take a bit more than that to get the job done this year. The game has changed.
The Bulldogs break the mould. With the ability of their forwards to pop passes and use tip-on plays right at the line, they're playing a style we've not really seen before - and it's working a treat. Their halves wouldn't rank among the top combinations in the competition but that doesn't seem to matter. Most of the ball-playing comes from their extremely skilful props and back rowers. It's great to watch and a masterstroke from coach Des Hasler to get his team playing in a way that really maximises their strengths.
But as good as the Bulldogs are, I still can't go past Manly. The Sea Eagles are an incredibly tough outfit but they also play an exciting brand of footy. They're never scared to chance their arm and so often come up with a big play when it is most needed. They've got so much experience that they always back their ability and when they attempt the daring play from just about anywhere on the field, it usually comes off. It's that ability I believe will prove the difference in the finals.
Daly Cherry-Evans and Kieran Foran are great halves. Throw in the strikepower of the Stewart brothers, the class of Jamie Lyon and the freak factor of the massive Tony 'T-Rex' Williams and Manly are a complete side. It wasn't the smoothest regular season campaign for them, but it is all coming together at the right time.
I'm not convinced about Melbourne but it would be foolish to write them off. After a really rough patch they seem to be getting their act back together. If Billy Slater is back to full fitness and the Big Three - Slater, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk - are all firing, then the Storm will be dangerous.
The Rabbitohs and Cowboys are travelling under the radar a bit but when you look at some of the stars in those sides - game-breaking players like Greg Inglis and Johnathan Thurston - they will be dangerous. I can see both of those clubs getting up for a match or two and doing some real damage, but I struggle to see them going the whole way.
The Raiders are the real dark horse. Having won their last five matches heading into the finals they will be supremely confident they have the ability to make a run. Their ability to retain the ball is the key issue, always has been for the Raiders. If they can hold possession they have a monster pack, and some real strikepower out wide.
The Raiders are the team in the bottom half to look out for, no doubt. Neither the Sharks or Broncos look like they have much left to offer this season.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – At least three Haitian musical groups believe they have been banned from performing during Carnival because authorities consider their songs too critical of the government.
The bands say they were dropped from the lineup or made to feel unwelcome at performances for Haiti's Carnival festivities that begin Sunday.
President Michel Martelly used to mock earlier Haitian governments during Carnival performances in his previous career as a musician.
Martelly said in a radio interview Saturday that one of the bands, Brothers Posse, didn't meet criteria for performing. He said the group wasn't able to generate "ambiance."
He also said Carnival is not a time for protests.
The band's song criticizes Martelly for not fulfilling promises.

USU has 99 Student-Athletes Receive Academic All-Mountain West Honors
Tuesday, Jul. 08, 2014
The Mountain West Conference announced its spring all-academic teams Monday [July 7, 2014] and Utah State had 99 student-athletes recognized as part of a league-record 897 student-athletes who were honored.
Spring sports include baseball, men and women's basketball, men and women's golf, softball, women's swimming and diving, men and women's tennis and men and women's indoor and outdoor track and field.
Of its 99 academic all-Mountain West selections from its spring sports, Utah State had 37 student-athletes from women's track honored, along with 28 from men's track, nine from softball, six from both women's basketball and men's golf, five from women's tennis and four each from men's basketball and men's tennis.
Utah State's 99 academic honorees from its spring sports were the third-most in the league. New Mexico led the conference with 124 all-academic recipients, while Colorado State had 101 and USU had 99. Boise State was fourth with 90 all-academic honors from its spring sports, followed by Fresno State (86), Nevada (79), UNLV (78), Air Force (69), San Diego State (58), Wyoming (58) and San Jose State (53).
Utah State also had the most individuals honored in women's track and field (37) and men's track and field (28), and men's golf (6) was tied for the most, while men's basketball finished tied for the second-most honorees (4).
Senior Kyle McKenna, who competes in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track for Utah State, has now earned academic all-conference honors 10 times in his career. Junior cross country/track athletes Brittany Bushman and Eric Shellhorn have now both earned academic all-conference honors eight times, while senior track athletes Keeley Eldredge, Kylie Ross and Bailee Whitworth all earned their seventh academic all-conference honor. Junior volleyball/track athlete Rachel Orr also earned her seventh academic all-conference honor this spring, including her fourth in track, and junior cross country/track athlete Chris Martinez earned his sixth academic all-conference honor this spring.
Of the 99 USU student-athletes to earn spring academic all-Mountain West honors, 71 are receiving the accolade for at least the second time.
To be eligible, a student-athlete must have completed one academic year, have at least a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average and have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's contests.
During the 2013-14 academic year, Utah State had a total of 160 student-athletes earn academic all-Mountain West honors.

Good day, Angelg. Basically, 'might' describes a weaker sense of certainty than 'may'.
Let's take an example which will illustrate where these modal verbs sit in relation to one another.
Pretend that it didn't say where you were from. But there are five different speakers and each of them has varying degrees of knowledge about you. They each comment on your country of origin:
Level of certainty
100% ------------------ Angel is from Cuba.
90-99% ---------------- Angel must be from Cuba.
51-89% ---------------- Angel is probably/likely from Cuba.
26-50% ---------------- Angel may be from Cuba.
1-25% ----------------- Angel might be from Cuba.
These examples all show the level of certainty of each speaker.
Notice the large range for each modal/semi-modal.
These numbers are not exact. They are simply to help you understand the relationship between the different modal meanings.

Barnes County Jail Overcrowded
Barnes County States Attorney Lee Grossman is trying to come up with a solution to an overcrowded Barnes County jail.
Thursday he said, "the jail houses 30 to 32, and many of the inmates can't make bail. Less than 10 are serving sentences, and the rest are are (awaiting) court hearings because they can't meet bail, and a couple are awaiting extradition to other states."
More in Friday's issue of the Times-Record.

Is Anthony Calvillo the best quarterback to ever step foot on a CFL field?
Well, it's tough to argue otherwise, at least based on statistics. Any league records that have "most" attached to them -- the good ones, anyway -- have Calvillo's name beside them. Most career passing yards, most career TD passes, most career completions, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, he's good. But the best ever? Check out our list of the top 10 quarterbacks in CFL history to find out.
10. Dieter Brock
Call him Dieter, call him Ralph. But whatever you do, call Brock a revolutionary. The former Blue Bombers (and Tiger-Cats) quarterback set the league on its ear when he brought his Alabama drawl north of the border. The Birmingham Rifle was, unquestionably, one of the first true gunslingers the league had ever seen. Though he threw for almost 35,000 yards during his CFL career, Brock never won the Grey Cup.
9. Ken Ploen
Ploen had the pedigree when he joined the Blue Bombers in 1957, having led Iowa to a Rose Bowl win that year, and he didn't disappoint. With Ploen at the helm, the Bombers went to the Grey Cup six times, winning four. You won't find his name among the top 30 passers in CFL history, but Ploen epitomized the phrase, "Just win, baby." Oh, did I mention he also played a bit of defensive back, too?
8. Russ Jackson
Jackson was the best of a breed that no longer exists in the CFL -- the Canadian quarterback. During 12 years with the Ottawa Rough Riders, Jackson won the Grey Cup three times and was named the league's top player on four occasions. Although he signed with Ottawa as a defensive back, Jackson passed for more than 24,000 yards and ran for another 5,000. No other Canadian QB, of which there have been few, comes close to the numbers Jackson put up.
7. Danny McManus
Danny Mac, a product of Florida State, wasn't the flashiest quarterback to play three-down football but he was darn good. A prototypical dropback passer (he ran for just 426 yards during a 17-year career; do the math), McManus passed for 53,255 yards, the fourth-best total in CFL history, and 259 touchdowns. He also won the Grey Cup three times, with Winnipeg ('90), B.C. ('94) and Hamilton ('99).
6. Matt Dunigan
Dunigan wasn't big on long-term commitment during his 14-year career -- he suited up for six different teams -- but he brought that cocky swagger you'd expect from a hired gun. He twice won the Grey Cup and finished with nearly 44,000 passing yards. In 1994, playing for Winnipeg, Dunigan had a game for the ages, passing for a record 713 yards (yes, 713) and five touchdowns in a 50-35 win over Edmonton.
5. Ron Lancaster
Lancaster, known as the Little General, was fond of saying "stats are for losers." Well, his stats were unparalleled when he retired in 1978 -- he was the first QB in CFL history to top 50,000 career passing yards -- but Lancaster was anything but a loser. During 16 seasons with Saskatchewan, Lancaster won 170 games and the Green Riders had just one losing season, his last. And that, not his diminutive stature, was the true measure of Lancaster.
4. Warren Moon
It's scary to think what Moon might have done had he stuck around the CFL more than six years before heading off to the NFL. With the Edmonton Eskimos, Moon won five consecutive Grey Cup titles (1978-82). Granted, he sometimes shared the gig with Tom Wilkinson (another Canadian Football Hall of Famer) but, sheesh, anyone who remembers the Eskimos of that era knows Moon was The Man.
3. Damon Allen
There probably was a time Allen would have been considered No. 1. He could beat you with his arm or his legs. He was the league's career passing leader when he retired in 2007. But he's also third on the league's career rushing list, with nearly 12,000 yards, and has some of the game's best runners looking up at him. Allen's four Grey Cup wins, with three different teams, puts him near the top of the class.
2. Anthony Calvillo
Sure, the numbers don't lie. Calvillo is the best of the best in so many categories and he's a feel-good story to boot -- remember, he's less than a year removed from having surgery for a cancerous lesion on his throat.
1. Doug Flutie
Flutie was an undersized NFL washout when he signed with the B.C. Lions in 1990. Eight years later, when Flutie headed back to the NFL, he practically owned the CFL record book. Six times he was named the league's most outstanding player. And he didn't just put up gawdy numbers, he got results. After struggling in his first season, Flutie went 99-27 over the next seven years and won the Grey Cup three times. 'Nuff said.

'Walking Dead' wins game of the year at Spike VGAs
Credit: AP
LOS ANGELES — "The Walking Dead: The Game" took a bite out of the Spike Video Game Awards.
Telltale Games' interactive episodic series based on the zombie comic book franchise was selected as game of the year at Friday's extravaganza, which honors outstanding achievements in the video game industry over the past year.
"Look, 'Walking Dead' fans, this is obviously for you," beamed "Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman. "Thank you so much. You guys watch the TV show. You read the comics. You play the video games. You make all this possible."
"The Walking Dead" also won the best downloadable and adapted game prizes, as well as best performance by a human female for Melissa Hutchison as young survivor Clementine and studio of the year for Telltale Games.
"The Avengers" star and shooter fan Samuel L. Jackson served as host of the much-censored 10th annual ceremony at Sony Pictures Studios, marking his fourth time hosting the show.
"You know me," warned Jackson at the start of the ceremony. "Whoever's in charge of the bleep button, keep your finger ready 'cause this is gonna be one heck of a show, (expletive)."
Gearbox Software's cartoony shoot-'em-up sequel "Borderlands 2" swept the VGAs with the most awards, picking up trophies for best shooter, multiplayer, performance by a human male for Dameon Clarke as villain Handsome Jack and character of the year for chatty robot Claptrap.
Other titles winning multiple trophies included 343 Industries' sci-fi shooter "Halo 4" as best Xbox 360 game and graphics; Queasy Games' musical platformer "Sound Shapes" as best handheld game and song for "Cities" by Beck; and thatgamecompany's artsy downloadable adventure "Journey" as best independent, PlayStation 3 game and original score.
"We made 'Journey' for you, to show that games can be something different — independent, experimental, moving, emotional, modern, inclusive, different," said "Journey" executive producer Robin Hunicke. "That's why we made it."
Arkane Studios' stealthy first-person game "Dishonored" was picked as best action-adventure game. BioWare's sci-fi saga "Mass Effect 3" won as best role-playing game. Valve Software's "Half-Life 2" was chosen as the best game of the decade.
The two-hour ceremony, which featured performances from Linkin Park and Tenacious D, put more emphasis on hyping upcoming games than handing out trophies though.
The show featured new footage from such upcoming titles as "The Last Us," "South Park: The Stick of Truth," "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2" and "BioShock Infinite." It also served to unveil never-before-seen games like "Dark Souls II" and "The Phantom Pain," which is apparently connected to the "Metal Gear Solid" franchise.
For the first time, the VGAs were streamed on Xbox Live, the online service for Microsoft's Xbox 360 console. During the ceremony, online viewers could vote on show components like what songs and clips would be played during the VGAs.
The winners of most of the show's categories were chosen by an advisory council, while viewer votes selected character of the year and most anticipated game, which went to "Grand Theft Auto V."

Kiowa County Fire Chief Jay Koehn announced on Monday morning that Kiowa County has now joined a growing list of Kansas counties that have issued a burn ban.
Kiowa County Fire Chief Jay Koehn announced on Monday morning that Kiowa County has now joined a growing list of Kansas counties that have issued a burn ban.
Residents are prohibited from any agricultural or trash burning until further notice.
"Anything the isn't related to cooking meals is prohibited," Koehn said. "It's just too dry and [fires] are so easy to start and so easy to get out of control."
On March 2, 2009 county commissioners passed Resolution 2009-13, which regulates countywide burn bans.
The resolution prohibits the following:
n Careless use of smoking materials
n The open burning of any wastes, structures, vegetation or any other materials.
n Building, maintaining, attending or using any open fire or camp fire except in permanent stoves or fireplace.
Violation of the resolution can bring minimum fines of $500 for the first offense and $1,000 or more for repeated offences.
The resolution allows for exceptions, noting that burning that is "necessary for crop survival" or "in the public interest" is allowed, but must first pass an application process.
Offenders will also be required to reimburse all county expenses for extinguishing the fire.
Koehn said that the institution of the burn ban was unrelated to the grass fire that burned 420-acre of grassland on the Westside of the county last Wednesday.
Amidst rising temperatures and low rainfall more than 40 Kansas counties have instituted burn bans including Anderson, Atchison, Barber, Barton, Bourbon, Chase, Chautauqua, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Clark, Clay, Crawford, Decatur, Edwards, Ellsworth, Ford, Franklin, Gove, Graham, Grant, Greenwood, Hamilton, Haskell, Hodgeman, Johnson (also includes the cities Gardner, Leawood, Lenexa, Merriam, Olathe, Overland Park and Shawnee), Labette, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Meade, Miami (Spring Hill only), Mitchell, Morton, Ness, Norton, Osborne, Ottawa, Pawnee, Phillips, Pottawatomie, Rawlins, Rush, Russell, Sheridan, Sherman, Smith, Stanton, Stevens, Thomas and Trego counties.
"It will take 2-3 inches of significant rainfall and cooler temperatures to lift the ban," said Koehn.

how do you people clean car parts at home?
Posted 06 January 2011 - 02:25 PM
i completely tore down my intake manifold for the 1988 GL-10, removed all electronic parts, and anything else that could come off and washed the thing till it looked brand new. only took me about 45 minutes to get it completely clean.
now, not everyone on here would have one of these 20,000 dollar sonic scrub machines like i do, so i was wondering what other ways you people clean parts.
oh, and most importantly, i was wanting to know what you people would recommend for a good cleaner. my machine is 100 percent stainless steel, so no cleaners would hurt it. (cept maybe acid.)
Posted 06 January 2011 - 05:06 PM
2. Lightly used Inland Technology "Breakthrough" solvent: http://www.inlandtec...akthroughsupsup
The solvent was free (normally it's about $80 per 5 gallon can so free is a helluva deal!) because it was lightly used and the customer wanted their parts washer switched to some other product. The Inland Tech service guy that maintains the parts washer at my old work gave me two 5 gallon cans for free. And I needed a replacement pump because the crappy plastic unit in the HF parts washer ate itself - he came through again with a used pump from a high-end parts washer which I retro-fitted to my Chinese unit.
I must say the Breakthrough is GREAT stuff. Easy on the hands, no obnoxious odors, dry's without any oily residue, etc.
I'm very satisfied with the $80 I've spent on my parts washer. Could it be better? Sure it could. But unlikely for the little money I've spent.
As far as a "good" cleaner - I can only reccomend the Inland stuff and the Zep products. Everything else I've tried that was "water based" and availible through retail channels has been a WASTE OF MONEY. Either it's so nasty that it eats everything in sight including your hands (such is the case with that purple crap you have - it will etch aluminium, eat the flesh from your hands, and is rather toxic to have on your skin), or it doesn't work at all.

your machine sounds the steal deal for the end of time, but your kinda wrong about the cleaner i used. i did not hurt my hand at all, did a wonderful job at cleaning, doesnt smell horrible (was even using the machine in my garage so im not in the cold) and i did not have any problems. oh, also forgot to add, the stuff i bought is biodegradable.
does any one have any clue what cleaner the pro's use when cleaning fuel injectors? after some research online and talk with my 24-year-career automotive teacher, i found out the pro's use sonic scrub just like the one i have, and they flush out the injectors while holding them open while having them hooked up to power. i have everything i would need to do it the way they do except a good recommended cleaner.
any suggestions?
Posted 06 January 2011 - 06:54 PM
Read up on the harmful effects of lye exposure - that's basically what the purple stuff is. Heavily alkaline chemical. It's biodegradeable in a sense because it will break down in the environment - but it will kill animals, etc just from it's PH alone.
As for injector cleaning - I would be using some form of carb cleaner - which is a heavily controlled substance in most places (the good stuff anyway). It's about the only thing that will touch carbon deposits.

I use a dishwasher I picked up of Craigs for free. I use Cascade Dishwasher soap and run the machine on the hottest water setting. Works Great!
now theres some smart thinkin! i bet no one else has ever thought of that.
Posted 06 January 2011 - 07:38 PM
Cascade liquid works for cleaning your ceramic bath/shower tile (a tenant told me about it), also works excellent as a coolant flush, I'm not kidding. My local radiator shop has been known to use it from time to time.
I have an old commercail parts washer but need new juice. Mine is a mess. Bought used, then degreased a ton from a long time leaking rear main on a 71 VW bus. Don't see a decent way to clean it. Haven't turned it on in months so I may try and pul the cleaner stuff off the top.

I've worked on a number of neglected motorcycles over the years and I used to use Chem-dip, which is still around but with a different formula since around the mid 90's. The old formula worked amazingly well while the "improved" version wasn't worth jack. Some time after it came out I started using full concentrate simple green when I want to clean motorcycle jets. A half-hour soak and a shot of compressed air usually cleans 'em right out. Think the same might work for injectors? MC jets have really small holes in them, I'm not really familiar with the geometry of a fuel injector, but I'd imagine that since it's atomizing gasoline, it's probably got a something similar in hole size.
But wouldn't it be important to be able to hold the injector open no matter how you cleaned it?
Posted 06 January 2011 - 10:58 PM
I like the Citrus cleaner, Price wasn't bad, did a good job and did rinse parts with water when clean enough for me. I put in squirt bottle and used elbow grease rinsing down after cleaning and wore proper hand gloves that resisted break-through of chemicals and changed often.
But, since we all live up stream of a river a concern I had was what to do with the remaining fluid?
To safely get rid of the buckets I put a metal screen over the top and assured no animal couldn't pry off and let it evaperate. It didn't take long in our summer sun I put remaining grease sludge in a bag with kitty litter and deposited as grease waste.
Posted 06 January 2011 - 11:42 PM
When I finally did decide on a product I wanted to buy.... the one I had chosen was MIL-SPEC only and I couldn't buy it unless my former employer (the only guy's I know with a ZEP account) changed their account with ZEP to a DOD contractor account (which they could have done because they do supply the DOD) so I didn't want to persue it. But I got this Breakthrough for free and decided to try that out and it works just dandy for what I need.
I haven't tried the Simple Green (except their carpet formula) but I hear that works well on lots of stuff. I wonder what it's active base is though. I will have to look into that.

Purple power I'm not sure about, but I've used it many times on aluminum parts (degreasing the outside of engines, transmissions) and have never noticed any ill effects. I have seen plenty of other degreasers dull/etch aluminum surfaces almost immediately.
Posted 07 January 2011 - 01:20 AM
Of the two popular methods I prefer the petroleum based cleaners even though they tend to be more expensive.
Posted 07 January 2011 - 10:58 AM
In my gallon dip can on the bench I've been using good ol' mineral spirits.. degreases really well but doesn't budge varnish, maybe softens valve carbon goop..
I experimented with oven cleaner.. got the idea from Zap a long time ago. Took varnish straight off cranks,cams... cleaned aluminum blocks quite well but did etch their surface even thought I limited the time on the aluminum to a minute or two.
Funny thing is those block halves emitted the odor of the oven cleaner in my garage for days, maybe weeks!
Posted 07 January 2011 - 12:26 PM
One thing I do not care for with the mineral spirits is that is leaves a little bit of a residue. If I need to get rid of the residue from the mineral spirits I will wash the parts with the Zep orange degreaser you can get at home depot.
That combination has worked pretty well for me over the years.

Have a parts washer for big nasty stuff (20gal HF special) I forget the cleaner I used in it. Stuff was $9 from HF, looks like antifreeze and I only needed half the gallon diluted in the washer to clean some really nasty caked engine parts.
Careful with soaking though. It eats aluminum. But I was cleaning to get a bit more out of the scrap so all the etching was no biggie.
I'll just use some brake cleaner for small stuff. Little blast and a rag wipe usually gets it.
And for the medium jobs I got a gallon of that Castol Super Clean that I'll put some in a spray bottle, which never lasts as it eats the seals, so use a cheap/old one. Stuff works great but is really hard on the skin, wear rubber gloves.
Posted 15 January 2011 - 03:36 PM
i use the kitchen sink and a brass bristle brush and the scotchpad.
No wife/girlfriend living in the house I assume by this statement? Most would kill for that offense.

hehe, not this particular wife/girlfriend - i would probably be the one doing the scrubbing! LOL
i have found that for varnished over stuff, PB Blaster does a pretty good job of breaking up the varnish, and quite quickly, too- but it does leave an oily residue...
we do have one of the HF parts washers, but havent really used in the way it was intended to be used...mostly set a part in, squirt it down with cleaner of choice (PB, brake kleen, carb cleaner, etc) give a little scrub at the stubborn stuff, and rinse with the favored cleaner again...
The primary reason for this is because we dont use it often enough to warrant keeping it filled with a specific cleaning fluid - it would probably evaporate long before we had need of it again.

I've noticed that the mineral spirits will evaporate over time, but for as long as I have had the thing and as much as I've used it, I can't say the solvent has evaporated too badly.

that is good to know, but seriously - i think we have used ours maybe two or three times in the 3-4 yrs we have had it... it is mostly a flat surface to put things on top of! LOL

Yeah, if you only use it that much, then it's probably not worth filling up.

They need an obed. judge on Sat the 12 (this Sat.)
This is the last qualifying show for Eastern States and it would really suck if they had to cancel. The kids work really hard for this all year.
It is at the Belknap County Fairgrounds in Belmont, NH so anyone close with obed. experience would be great. There is also Fitting and Showmanship in the AM which you can do if you want but I think I have that covered. Email me email@example.com or whatever if you can do it. Time is running out fast.

Re: Ki energy defined
Since my aikido training took a hard turn almost 10 years ago, I have been examining the nature of ki and have come to these conclusions.
Ki is fundamental energy. It is the energy that forms atoms out of nothing, and it flows.
Fundamental energy has different properties depending how it manifests in the material world as we know it. These are to be found among the four forces in nature: gravity, electromagnetic, strong, and weak (the last two affect matter at the subatomic level).
I propose that there is a fifth way fundamental energy expresses that is so difficult to quantify that it has been put aside as either imaginary or magical or it is ignored altogether. It is called spiritual energy.
For sake of simplicity, I will refer to spiritual energy as ki.
Ki has properties just like the other four, but since electromagnetism and gravity are easily observable in our human scale I will compare ki mostly to them.
Some gross generalizations: Gravity affects mass and is connective. Magnetism is connective also but can be repellent as well. The larger and denser the mass, the greater the gravity; the more the flow of electrons the greater the magnetism. Magnetism easily overcomes gravity in some situations (refrigerator magnet sticks to the door, doesn't drop to the floor; levitation of objects) but is weaker in others (two inches away from the refrigerator and the magnet drops to the floor).
The way Gravity and Electromagnetism become observable through their properties relative to material objects in the former and specific metals in the latter, Ki becomes observable specifically in living matter.
Ki is ordinary. That is, it is in every bit of living matter. It is the natural force that through its connectivity binds inert compounds into reproducing organisms.
All of the energetic expression of the universe starts with the big bang. In the space time continuum the big bang is happening right now as well as 13 billion years ago, but it is the radiant flow of all that energy that shows up as the cosmos.
Ki is expanding from the big bang as well. As the universe spreads itself far and wide, ki churns through it all, evolving living matter to fit the whole, subject to all the forces of nature but given life by the constant flow of this energy from its source.
We can observe this energy to be connective. As previously mentioned it binds inert compounds together to form organisms. It connects organisms together to make more organisms. It is connective between predator and prey. As this energy moves through space it gathers the inert compounds in the form of bodies that born of connection, grow, mature, age and become inert compounds again.
As our ancestors developed a neo cortex they became aware of the energy they could feel inside them making them different from the ground around them. Intuitively they understood that this energy was giving them life and without it they would go back into the ground, and though they could not explain it and could scarcely describe it, they called it, for lack of another word, "god."
The life-giving and connective properties of ki are tied together but also act independently. The life-giving aspects of ki happen automatically within living systems. The connective properties, outside of the ones chemical in nature, are expressed through intention.
Through intention we regulate the flow of ki through our bodies so that we can take action. Some actions are involuntary, but all are regulated through intention. For example, we swallow automatically, but the intention of the involuntary act is to push food and liquids through the esophagus without entering the trachea. In order to get up from a chair to get something to swallow requires that intention.
Through the mechanism of intention, we release flow through our body parts to take action. But the connective properties of this energy are also regulated through intention.
The connective properties of ki flow through us to other animate and inanimate objects. Our ancestors with their newly developed neo cortex became aware of this flow of energy between them, and though they could not explain it and could scarcely describe it, they called it, for lack of another word, "love."
The reason love feels so good is because when you love you are opening channels of this energy flow to do what it does best -- connect -- and as it is literally life-giving, it feels the best when the flow is not constricted. When we love, our systems become open conduits for this connective energy. There is a reason why perhaps the most intense physical pleasure our bodies are capable of comes from the deepest connection two people can have, and that's not a connection that is solely physical.
But because we have intention as a regulating device, we can withhold our connection from anyone or anything we choose. Unconditional love is said to be the highest form, and with it comes optimum ki flow and free expression of ki's connectivity. But as we start to withhold our love, usually out of a perception of threat, we put up barriers to that flow, our intentional "floodgates".
Putting up barriers to flow to thwart the connective properties of ki to protect the self do not stop those connective properties from needing to do what they do, and as the need to connect grows within a person the ki starts to come out constricted by fear. Similar to fluid dynamics, the ki that comes out in a constricted flow, comes out like water through a fire hose and with it a destructive connection.
In the book
by Kisshomaru Ueshiba under the direction of Osensei, in the section under "Basic Knowledge" after posture, distance from one's partner, and the hand blade, comes
ki no nagare
, which is translated "stream of spirit." Your "stream" and your attacker's "stream" merge (harmonize). In the book it is put this way:
It is the work of spirit power to involve the opponent's movement into your movement, responding naturally and unconsciously to the changes of circumstances
Two pages later in the book, after entering and spherical movement,
chikara no dashikata
(extension of power). The description distinguishes between force power and spiritual power and describes releasing this spiritual power through the arms hands and fingertips.
The connective and live-giving properties of ki are the essential ingredient in aikido. Our practice is to transcend ancient lower brain defense mechanisms to release the unrestricted flow of ki of which we are capable. When we do this it becomes obvious why Osensei continually called aikido a budo of love.

Bikini Bikini Bottomshire
Most of the time I'm all for some bikinis, but what do you guys think? Sure they're proper beach/pool attire but are we really going to consider them acceptable for public? In considering your answer please keep in mind that this applies to both the women that should wear bikinis and the ones that absolutely should not. Discuss.

That's what the start of a royal NFL dynasty looks and feels like.
I'm not just talking about the Seattle Seahawks, though everything they did to dent, dominate and deconstruct Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday had dynastic overtones.
I'm talking about the NFC West, about all that it took for the Seahawks to get through that gauntlet.
The sure conclusion: The NFC West, the teams' young quarterbacks and these gold-plated defenses are built to rule the NFL for a while.
Maybe for a long while.
Just ask Peyton Manning about trying to deal with the speed and strength of Seattle's defense during this eventual 43-8 Seahawks stomping in East Rutherford, N.J.
After racing through the rest of the league, averaging an NFL-record 37.9 points in the regular season, Manning and the Broncos were blown to bits from the start in this one.
Or check with Denver's defense, which struggled to stay with or tackle the Seahawks' offensive stalwarts.
It's too facile to say that the NFC Championship game was the real Super Bowl, because you never know how the matchups will play out.
Denver was an ideal opponent for Seattle because the Seahawks' incredible pass defense had everything necessary to erase Manning.
Seattle survived the NFC West Challenge because it deserved to, and the team that won this division was by far the best in the universe.
Win the NFC West, conquer the NFL.
The San Francisco 49ers had their chance to get a jump on the dynastic talk in last season's Super Bowl but lost to Baltimore in the final seconds.
Kaepernick was probably a little too raw and the 49ers defense wasn't quite running on all cylinders at the time.
Jump forward a year, and the 49ers were probably better this season than they were last season ... but so was Seattle.
The 49ers might be even better next season — and you know what? So might Seattle, which is bursting with young stars.
And both teams keep getting better partly because they have each other to deal with and plot against.
Iron sharpens iron, as 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh has said, and the smartest, strongest teams force their rivals to get even stronger and smarter.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the division, Arizona won 10 games (and beat the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field in December) and missed the playoffs, despite fielding one of the better defenses in the league.
And St. Louis started pulling it together later in the season, has a bunch of premium draft picks coming and probably won't be a pushover itself in 2014.
So, this all definitely reminds me of another time and another set of title-worthy teams in a single division ...
From Super Bowl XVII (Washington over Miami at the end of the 1982 season) to Super Bowl XXX (Dallas over Pittsburgh at the end of the 1995 season), an NFC East team made it to nine of the 14 Super Bowls.
And won eight.
The NFC East won 57 percent of the Super Bowls in that period — three by Dallas, three by Washington, and two by the New York Giants.
That was not a free-and-easy time to win titles, either — it came while the 49ers were winning four of their own Super Bowl championships.
But back then, the NFC East was run by Bill Parcells, Joe Gibbs and then Jimmy Johnson; and Pete Carroll, Jim Harbaugh and maybe Jeff Fisher can be comparable to that.
The NFC West teams' architecture has strong similarities to those NFC East clubs': great general managers putting together physical, ground-oriented offenses and aggressive, talent-stocked defenses.
As this Super Bowl proved again, it's easier to keep a great defense going at top speed deep into the playoffs than it is a great offense.
Denver's offense sure hadn't faced anything comparable to Seattle before Sunday.
Then the Broncos experienced what happens when you play an NFC West team and you're not ready for an NFC West challenge.
This could happen a lot of times, in the biggest games, for several more NFC West-dominated years.

With spring lettuce and all variety of greens enjoying their salad days now, it's a good time to think about how to dress them up right.
And that doesn't have to mean reaching for the nearest bottle.
Making a homemade salad dressing is not difficult, and the fresh taste is always worth the small effort required.
From now until early summer, lettuces at farmers markets will be at their peak, so there's no better time to enjoy fresh, healthful salads.
Chef Mark Kent, an instructor at the University of Akron's School of Hospitality Management, said making salad dressing from scratch is one of the first techniques budding chefs learn when they begin their classes.
"It's an extremely simple process," he said, noting that a basic vinaigrette is simply two parts oil whisked into one part vinegar, with the seasonings of your choice added.
Kent said most students are surprised at how easy it is, and most have never made it before.
"Most just grabbed the bottle; that's how they grew up," he said.
In addition to freshness, Kent said it's more economical to make your own salad dressing.
"You can control what goes in it and make it as healthy as you want. From a health standpoint and also a cost standpoint, it's worth it for two to three minutes of work at the most," he said.
But perhaps even more than cost savings or healthy eating, flavor is the biggest boost that comes from making a dressing from scratch. Bottled dressings can have chemical preservatives that affect their taste, something that isn't a concern with a fresh dressing.
Making a dressing from scratch encourages a cook to be creative and to work with the flavors of the current season. Change the herbs and spices added to a dressing, and you can change its flavor profile from Italian to French to Asian or Middle Eastern, depending on the type of salad being dressed.
As Kent points out, beyond the basics of oil and vinegar in a vinaigrette, "you are wide open to what you can do with it."
Here are a variety of recipes for made-from-scratch salad dressings, from an easy red wine vinaigrette to a rich and decadent creamy Gorgonzola, which can also substitute as a great dip for raw vegetables.
Red Wine Vinaigrette
Makes about 1¼ cups
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
3 oz. red wine vinegar
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or other fresh herbs
6 oz. olive oil
Add garlic and mustard to bowl. Measure in vinegar. Add salt, sugar and pepper. Whisk ingredients together until salt and sugar dissolve. Stir in fresh herbs.
Whisk in oil in a steady stream until well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste for salt and pepper.

Tahini Dressing
Makes about 1 cup
1/3 cup tahini sauce, well stirred (sesame paste)
1/3 cup water
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
¾ tsp. salt
Whisk together all ingredients until smooth or blend together in a blender.

Creamy Tarragon Dressing
Makes about ¾ cup
¼ cup buttermilk
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
¾ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
½ cup olive oil
2 tbsp. finely chopped green onion
1 tbsp. chopped fresh tarragon
Whisk together first six ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Gradually whisk in oil in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly until smooth. Whisk in green onion and tarragon.
Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 days. Let chilled dressing stand 30 minutes before using.
Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing
Makes about 2 cups
¾ cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing like Miracle Whip)
¼ cup sour cream
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
¾ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
With a rubber spatula, blend mayonnaise and sour cream together well. Add garlic and lemon juice and stir to combine. Lemon juice will thin mixture.
Add parsley, chives and cheese and stir well to combine, but making sure that cheese stays chunky. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Note: To thin dressing further, add additional lemon juice, up to 1 tablespoon more.

J Michael Straczynski is a writer possessed. "I write 10 hours a day every day, except my birthday, Christmas and New Year's," he says. "If I don't have an assignment, I'll write a short story, I'll write a spec script, I'll write a novel. I just enjoy the hell out of it."
For 20 years, Straczynski, who goes by Joe, applied this passion to the TV world, breaking in with '80s shows "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" and "The Twilight Zone." But he's most known as the creator of sci-fi skein "Babylon 5," which still boasts a rabid online fanbase.
After dozens of shows, Straczynski finally took a break from the smallscreen. He worked in comics and spent a year researching a sprawling story set in 1920s Los Angeles about a missing child, police corruption and a serial killer. "Changeling," his feature debut, was picked up and produced by Ron Howard and directed by Clint Eastwood. It went on to bow in Cannes to very enthusiastic response last month.
"That experience was utterly transformational," he says. "It suddenly put me on the map in a way that I never would have anticipated."
He's now got a boatload of jobs: Paramount's "World War Z"; UA's "Proving Ground"; "March Into Sunlight" for director Paul Greengrass; "The Flickering Light" and "Lensman," both for Ron Howard; and a rewrite of "The Grays" for Wolfgang Petersen.
After cracking the complex story structure of "Changeling" in his head, he wrote a draft in 11 days, the same version that Eastwood shot. "I didn't change it at all," Eastwood says. "If someone has done something really well, I say leave it alone. He's a really good writer, and he has a nice sensibility: intelligent, and he made it with a dramatic soul."
Though "Changeling" is a shift from the sci-fi work for which he is most known, Straczynski considers himself a "generalist," ready to tackle any story. "I go with what William Faulkner said: At the end of the day, the only thing worth writing about is 'the human heart in conflict with itself,' and that applies to any genre," he says.
Now in his 50s, Straczynski may not be the youngest aspiring screenwriter, but he's got the energy of one. "It's a reboot," he says of his second career. "It's like the ending of 'The Natural': You get one more shot at the game."
Age: 53
Influences: Rod Serling, Paddy Chayefsky, Norman Corwin, Harlan Ellison. "Guys who knew from language," he says. "Writer's writers. Whenever I feel cocky, I pull down a Rod Serling script and I feel like a rank amateur. The man knew what he was doing."
Favorite unproduced script: None. "I have a lot of specs that my agent asks me to give him, but they're just written for me."
Up next: "Ninja Assassin" for producers the Wachowskis and Joel Silver. ("I wrote a whole new draft, fade in to fade out, in 53 hours flat.")
Reps: Agents: CAA; attorney: Kevin Kelly at Gendler & Kelly, APC

The Theory of Moral Sentiments
1. It has been objected to me that as I found the sentiment of approbation, which is always agreeable, upon sympathy, it is inconsistent with my system to admit any disagreeable sympathy. I answer, that in the sentiment of approbation there are two things to be taken notice of; first, the sympathetic passion of the spectator; and, secondly, the emotion which arises from his observing the perfect coincidence between this sympathetic passion in himself, and the original passion in the person principally concerned. This last emotion, in which the sentiment of approbation properly consists, is always agreeable and delightful. The other may either be agreeable or disagreeable, according to the nature of the original passion, whose features it must always, in some measure, retain.
Part II.
2. To ascribe in this manner our natural sense of the ill desert of human actions to a sympathy with the resentment of the sufferer, may seem, to the greater part of people, to be a degradation of that sentiment. Resentment is commonly regarded as so odious a passion, that they will be apt to think it impossible that so laudable a principle, as the sense of the ill desert of vice, should in any respect be founded upon it. They will be more willing, perhaps, to admit that our sense of the merit of good actions is founded upon a sympathy with the gratitude of the persons who receive the benefit of them; because gratitude, as well as all the other benevolent passions, is regarded as an amiable principle, which can take nothing from the worth of whatever is founded upon it. Gratitude and resentment, however, are in every respect, it is evident, counterparts to one another; and if our sense of merit arises from a sympathy with the one, our sense of demerit can scarce miss to proceed from a fellow-feeling with the other.
Let it be considered too that resentment, though, in the degrees in which we too often see it, the most odious, perhaps, of all the passions, is not disapproved of when properly humbled and entirely brought down to the level of the sympathetic indignation of the spectator. When we, who are the bystanders, feel that our own animosity entirely corresponds with that of the sufferer, when the resentment of this last does not in any respect go beyond our own, when no word, no gesture, escapes him that denotes an emotion more violent than what we can keep time to, and when he never aims at inflicting any punishment beyond what we should rejoice to see inflicted, or what we ourselves would upon this account even desire to be the instruments of inflicting, it is impossible that we should not entirely approve of his sentiments. Our own emotion in this case must, in our eyes, undoubtedly justify his. And as experience teaches us how much the greater part of mankind are incapable of this moderation, and how great an effort must be made in order to bring down the rude and undisciplined impulse of resentment to this suitable temper, we cannot avoid conceiving a considerable degree of esteem and admiration for one who appears capable of exerting so much self-command over one of the most ungovernable passions of his nature. When indeed the animosity of the sufferer exceeds, as it almost always does, what we can go along with, as we cannot enter into it, we necessarily disapprove of it. We even disapprove of it more than we should of an equal excess of almost any other passion derived from the imagination. And this too violent resentment, instead of carrying us along with it, becomes itself the object of our resentment and indignation. We enter into the opposite resentment of the person who is the object of this unjust emotion, and who is in danger of suffering from it. Revenge, therefore, the excess of resentment, appears to be the most detestable of all the passions, and is the object of the horror and indignation of every body. And as in the way in which this passion commonly discovers itself among mankind, it is excessive a hundred times for once that it is moderate, we are very apt to consider it as altogether odious and detestable, because in its most ordinary appearances it is so. Nature, however, even in the present depraved state of mankind, does not seem to have dealt so unkindly with us, as to have endowed us with any principle which is wholly and in every respect evil, or which, in no degree and in no direction, can be the proper object of praise and approbation. Upon some occasions we are sensible that this passion, which is generally too strong, may likewise be too weak. We sometimes complain that a particular person shows too little spirit, and has too little sense of the injuries that have been done to him; and we are as ready to despise him for the defect, as to hate him for the excess of this passion.
The inspired writers would not surely have talked so frequently or so strongly of the wrath and anger of God, if they had regarded every degree of those passions as vicious and evil, even in so weak and imperfect a creature as man.
Let it be considered too, that the present inquiry is not concerning a matter of right, if I may say so, but concerning a matter of fact. We are not at present examining upon what principles a perfect being would approve of the punishment of bad actions; but upon what principles so weak and imperfect a creature as man actually and in fact approves of it. The principles which I have just now mentioned, it is evident, have a very great effect upon his sentiments; and it seems wisely ordered that it should be so. The very existence of society requires that unmerited and unprovoked malice should be restrained by proper punishments; and consequently, that to inflict those punishments should be regarded as a proper and laudable action. Though man, therefore, be naturally endowed with a desire of the welfare and preservation of society, yet the Author of nature has not entrusted it to his reason to find out that a certain application of punishments is the proper means of attaining this end; but has endowed him with an immediate and instinctive approbation of that very application which is most proper to attain it. The oeconomy of nature is in this respect exactly of a piece with what it is upon many other occasions. With regard to all those ends which, upon account of their peculiar importance, may be regarded, if such an expression is allowable, as the favourite ends of nature, she has constantly in this manner not only endowed mankind with an appetite for the end which she proposes, but likewise with an appetite for the means by which alone this end can be brought about, for their own sakes, and independent of their tendency to produce it. Thus self-preservation, and the propagation of the species, are the great ends which Nature seems to have proposed in the formation of all animals. Mankind are endowed with a desire of those ends, and an aversion to the contrary; with a love of life, and a dread of dissolution; with a desire of the continuance and perpetuity of the species, and with an aversion to the thoughts of its intire extinction. But though we are in this manner endowed with a very strong desire of those ends, it has not been intrusted to the slow and uncertain determinations of our reason, to find out the proper means of bringing them about. Nature has directed us to the greater part of these by original and immediate instincts. Hunger, thirst, the passion which unites the two sexes, the love of pleasure, and the dread of pain, prompt us to apply those means for their own sakes, and without any consideration of their tendency to those beneficent ends which the great Director of nature intended to produce by them.
Before I conclude this note, I must take notice of a difference between the approbation of propriety and that of merit or beneficence. Before we approve of the sentiments of any person as proper and suitable to their objects, we must not only be affected in the same manner as he is, but we must perceive this harmony and correspondence of sentiments between him and ourselves. Thus, though upon hearing of a misfortune that had befallen my friend, I should conceive precisely that degree of concern which he gives way to; yet till I am informed of the manner in which he behaves, till I perceive the harmony between his emotions and mine, I cannot be said to approve of the sentiments which influence his behaviour. The approbation of propriety therefore requires, not only that we should entirely sympathize with the person who acts, but that we should perceive this perfect concord between his sentiments and our own. On the contrary, when I hear of a benefit that has been bestowed upon another person, let him who has received it be affected in what manner he pleases, if, by bringing his case home to myself, I feel gratitude arise in my own breast, I necessarily approve of the conduct of his benefactor, and regard it as meritorious, and the proper object of reward. Whether the person who has received the benefit conceives gratitude or not, cannot, it is evident, in any degree alter our sentiments with regard to the merit of him who has bestowed it. No actual correspondence of sentiments, therefore, is here required. It is sufficient that if he was grateful, they would correspond; and our sense of merit is often founded upon one of those illusive sympathies, by which, when we bring home to ourselves the case of another, we are often affected in a manner in which the person principally concerned is incapable of being affected. There is a similar difference between our disapprobation of demerit, and that of impropriety.

So will that competition between Cisco and VMware result in technical issues?
It is certainly a risk. And in our case the difference is since we design it in one place -- Hewlett-Packard with all Hewlett-Packard engineers, we are designing our products so they work together more seamlessly all the time. And, again, a great example of that is with the technology called Flat SAN. If you look at Moonshot, what does Moonshot have in it? Server, network, storage, one single product, one single management all developed by one company and one company to support it.

The story behind the book
We are coming up on my favorite time of year again—Jewish Book Month. As I wrote last year around this time, as a blogger and editor, I love seeing what's new on the Jewish bookshelf each year and wish I had time to read and write about every book that comes my way.
This year the tables have turned, and suddenly I'm the one hoping and wishing that Jewish editors and writers will choose my book from among the great pile for review—the thought makes me feel proud, humble, and frightened all at once.
My new anthology, Living Jewishly: A Snapshot of a Generation was published in August, and since then it's been a whirlwind. This is my first go around at this, and I've already learned so much. Promoting a new book is both exciting and challenging, and I've been so lucky to have so many supportive colleagues and friends.
Let me tell you a little about the book:
Living Jewishly: A Snapshot of a Generation (Academic Studies Press), is a collection of personal essays and memoirs from Jewish 20- and 30-somethings from across the country. Each contributor—there are over 40—brings a unique perspective as they tell their self-defining Jewish story. In his essay, "Shomer Negiah in the City," Matthue Roth tackles the conflicted and sometimes hypocritical nature of the modern Orthodox dating world. In "To Be a Jew in the world" Stacey Ballis makes the Passover Seder her own. "My (Jewish-Interfaith-Lesbian) wedding," by Chai Wolfman explores the challenges of same-sex and interfaith relationships today. Other essay topics include JDate, connection-or lack thereof-to Israel, issues surrounding conversion, and the seemingly impossible task of defining what it means to be a young Jew in America today.
As the editor of the anthology, I put these essays together to create a window into our Jewish lives and identities. Each essay is beautiful, unique, brutally honest, and revealing. In truth, it is my contributors who make this book-without them, the story, the picture, would not be complete.
For weeks before the book came out, I was super nervous. I'm sure you can all relate to the feeling—you work so hard to create something and then you put it out into the world, not knowing how it will be received. But so far, people seem to like it—even some pretty cool people have spoken up.
Actress and author Mayim Bialik called the book "the definitive 'Who am I? and why am I?' book for Jews of our generation." And author Elisa Albert called it an "engaging chorus of voices much greater than the sum of its parts." Pretty good, right?
This process has opened me up to a lot of new things: reaching out to new people, pitching stories to the press instead of writing them, finding myself as a speaker at events. And while this is all a bit overwhelming, it's also really exciting. For now, I think I'll just take a deep breath and enjoy the experience.
In the meantime, I have a much greater appreciation for books, publishers and authors. And this Jewish Book Month, I plan to check out a lot of new books and I hope you will too. I'd recommend checking out One More River, this year's book selected for the Spertus One Book One Community Program. Oh, and if you do check out Living Jewishly, I'd love to know what you think! Comment below or email me at email@example.com.
Happy reading!
Living Jewishly is available in paperback and hardcover on Amazon.com and from other book retailers. For more information about where to buy the book, the contributors, and how you can share your Jewish story, visit www.livingjewishlybook.com or at www.facebook.com/livingjewishlybook

May 14, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - At the annual year-end banquet on Tuesday, coaches and athletes gathered to reflect on the 2008-2009 season. Although many athletes still have multiple competitions before finishing the season, a good portion of the team concluded the season at the Heptagonal Championships last weekend. Among those honored at the banquet were three men who have made outstanding contributions to the team: senior Jeffrey Lachman, junior Remi Ray and senior Jared Bell. The captain for next year's squad, Jeff Perrella, was also announced after a team election during the banquet.
Perrella is a relatively new face on the Yale team. After transferring to Yale from William & Mary this year, Perrella has quickly established himself as a contributor to the Bulldogs, running 8:18.44 for the 3,000-meter run, which is No. 12 all-time for Yale indoors. He later placed seventh in the event at Heps. Outdoors, Perrella ran himself onto the Yale all-time lists again, running 14:22 in the 5,000-meter run at the Penn Relays, which is the eighth-fastest time by a Bulldog outdoors.
Lachman was given the James Stack '61 Award, which is presented annually to the male track and field athlete who best personifies Jim Stack, the captain and leader of the 1961 team which won the "big three" (Yale vs. Harvard and Princeton), Heptagonal and IC4A Championships. The award recognizes the most valuable performer of the team. A qualifier for the NCAA National Championships last year, Lachman has consistently led the team with his strong performances in the throws. Recently, Lachman broke the 39-year old discus throw record set by Tem Neville by nearly ten feet. His throw of 58.29 meters (191'3") is one of the top marks in the nation. Lachman is a Heps champion in the discus throw, and has also scored in the hammer throw, shot put and weight throw.
Ray was the recipient of the Lee Calhoun Award, which is given to an outstanding member of the Men's Track and field Team who excels in Sprinting and/or Hurdling. The award is given annually in Memory of Lee Calhoun, the Yale Men's Head Track Coach from 1975-1980, who was a two-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder in the 110-meter hurdles. Despite struggling with injury for much of his first two years at Yale, Ray had a breakout season indoors this year, and has delivered strong performances well into the outdoor season as well. At the Boston University Terrier Invitational in January, Ray blazed to a new school record of 1:02.09 in the 500-meter dash, breaking the 1986 record of Olympian Larry Miller by over 0.3 seconds. Ray also ran on the 4x400 meter relay that ran 3:13.73, the third-fastest indoor time in Yale history. Outdoors, Ray ran on numerous successful relays once again, and also clocked 47.66 in the 400-meter dash prelims at Heps -- one of the ten best outdoor times in Yale history.
The Gardner Millett Award was given to Bell, a distance and middle-distance runner. The honor is awarded to an outstanding member of the Men's Track and field Team who excels in Sportsmanship, Courage and Inspiration, and is given annually in Memory of Gardner Millett Jr., Yale Class of 1938. Bell has established himself as a key player of Yale's team over the past few years, earning numerous spots on Yale's all-time performance lists: Bell is ranked No. 2 in the outdoor 1,500-meter run (3:44.69), No. 4 in the indoor mile run (4:05.55) and No. 10 in the indoor 3,000-meter run (8:15.31). He has also contributed as a member of many successful relays, including the 4x800-meter relay that broke the indoor school record in 2008 with a time of 7:29.53. Recently, Bell placed second in the mile run at Heps. Aside from running fast times on the track, Bell was commended for his constant commitment to Yale Track & Field, and the positive work ethic that has set an example for all other members of the team.
